Chapter 60: The Wonderful Use of Yellow Clay Water (1)
After a while, Brother Hao and the stupid big man pulled a board cart, pulled in a large piece of yellow mud, a few small water tanks and bundles of straw paper, Guo Dalu pointed to the two, built a simple small stove with bricks and stones, put a water tank on it, and took a water tank, filled it with water, put the yellow mud in it, and stirred it into yellow muddy water.
In the face of Guo Dalu's strange requests, Brother Hao didn't say much, but just did a good job one by one.
I don't know how long I waited, the door creaked open, and Li Bo walked in expressionlessly, holding a small packet of brown sugar in his arms.
Guo Dalu frowned: "Why is it so much? Forget it, let's just do an experiment." Donkey skin, pour all the brown sugar into the pot, add water, and burn it over high heat to make a sugar juice. ”
Li Bo stretched his face and put the whole bag of sugar in the pot, his face was full of heartache - this bag of sugar, his mother has to eat it for a long time, and it all depends on this brown sugar to replenish the body during the confinement, but my father said that I want to let myself take Guo Dalu as the teacher, and the teacher has a life, and he must obey, and he has already sworn that he can't be a fart.
The brown sugar that Li Bo brought was not so much red as burnt black, because there were too many impurities in the sugar, but even if it was such sugar, the peasants rarely ate it.
A steaming pot of brown sugar water quickly boiled.
Guo Dalu commanded the stupid big man, spread several layers of straw paper and straw on a small cylinder mouth, and then asked Hao Ge'er and Li Bo to pour all the brown sugar water in the pot into the tank.
After the brown sugar water is filtered through the straw and straw paper, the brown sugar juice flowing into the vat is much brighter in color, leaving a lot of impurities on the straw paper.
Guo Dalu asked Li Bo to put the filtered brown sugar juice back into the pot again, boiling water below, and constantly stir-frying on top.
Soon, the brown sugar in the pot reshaped, but the color changed from burnt black to yellow-red.
Li Bo looked at the sugar, and then looked at Guo Dalu, his eyes had to be a little different, he thought at first that Guo Dalu let him bring the brown sugar to the house to toss around, in order to punish himself for stealing, but now it seems that Brother Guo has another good use.
Guo Dalu glued some brown sugar with his fingers, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Well, the taste is much sweeter than the original." Come and taste it, too. ”
Brother Hao, Silly Big Man and Li Bo also tasted it in turn, and Brother Hao nodded: "Well, this is much sweeter, such a sweet brown sugar must be favored by everyone in the market, and it should be able to sell for a few more money than ordinary brown sugar." ”
Li Bo thought about it, but shook his head: "It's hard to say, I think this brown sugar is sweeter than the original after Brother Guo's rectification, but the amount is less than the original, even if it is sold for a few more dollars per catty than the original, it can't make a lot of money when calculated back and forth." Besides, the farmer is used to saving, and would rather spend a cheaper price to buy the original ugly-looking brown sugar than spend more money on this much sweeter brown sugar. ”
Guo Dalu glanced at Li Bo with appreciation: "Okay, donkey skin, you have some business experience, and you can think about the psychology of customers quite thoroughly." Then let me ask you, can you sell this sugar to a wealthy family in the city for a good price?"
Li Bo tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, then shook his head again: "The big families in the city are willing to spend a lot of money to buy good sugar, but I have seen the sugar they buy is the rock sugar imported by the South Vietnamese country, and the sugar looks the same as the ice cubes in winter, snow-white and crystalline, but it looks good." The same amount of rock sugar is more than ten times that of brown sugar, and at this price, it is difficult to buy. ”
Guo Dalu listened to Li Bo's words, not only looked at him more, with his age, it is extremely rare to have this kind of knowledge, Li Bo noticed Guo Dalu's eyes, scratched his head: "I want to be a few years older, to work in the grocery store in the city, to earn more money for the family, so I have been paying attention to these things." ”
Guo Dalu nodded: "It's rare for you to have the insight just now, then let me ask you, if this brown sugar changes color, can you sell it at a high price?"
Li Bo was stunned: "Change the color, what color can this sugar become?" He suddenly jumped up: "Brother Guo, do you know how to make rock candy? If there is really such a way, then, then we can make a fortune!"
Guo Dalu smiled: "It's not rock sugar, it's white sugar." Brother Hao, put the newly fried sugar in this pot and put it at the mouth of this water tank, and the mouth of the water tank is still covered with straw paper. ”
Brother Hao did the same, Guo Dalu beckoned to Li Bo again: "Do you see this water tank next to it?" It contains yellow muddy water, go, take a spoon and scoop a spoonful of yellow muddy water." ”
Li Bo quickly walked over with a spoonful of yellow muddy water, and Guo Dalu pointed to the pile of brown sugar on the straw paper at the mouth of the tank: "Go, pour the yellow muddy water on the sugar." ”
Li Bo's eyes are about to pop out!
This fine brown sugar is all dirty when you pour it into yellow muddy water! Can you still eat it? Isn't this a waste of things?!
Li Bo just wanted to splash a spoonful of yellow muddy water in his hand on Guo Dalu's face, and then snatch back the brown sugar from his own house - although this brown sugar has been tossed and the amount is a lot less, but it can still be eaten by his mother - at this moment, the stupid big man next to him said impatiently: "Donkey skin, what are you still doing in a daze, what Brother Guo tells you to do, just do it, when have you ever seen Brother Guo deceive people?"
Li Bo's hand holding the yellow muddy water trembled -- Yes, since Guo Dalu returned to the village, how could he have deceived people? Up and down in Houlong Village, from the old woman in her 80s to the little daughter-in-law, who did not say that Guo Ge'er was good? Brother Guo really wants to be angry with himself, and there are ways to toss himself, why bother to take his mother's bag of brown sugar to get angry?
Li Bo gritted his teeth and poured the yellow muddy water into the brown sugar, and Guo Dalu next to him admonished: "Slow down, drench a little, okay, that's it-"
Li Bo didn't finish pouring a spoonful of yellow muddy water, and the person was already on the spot, not only him, but even Brother Hao and the stupid big man were also stunned, because after the yellow muddy water was poured on the brown sugar, the color of the brown sugar actually changed, and it turned white, as white as snow race frost!
Li Bo stammered a little: "Brother Guo - changed, changed! Turned white! Grandpa God, so white, so white!"
Guo Dalu also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the gods of online novels really didn't make it up, this brown sugar to white sugar method is really feasible, he said quietly: "This is white sugar, the method I taught you just now is called the yellow mud water sugar method." Li Bo, in your opinion, this white sugar may be sold for a high price?"
