Chapter 40 Ordinary People(1/2)

The little girl's mood was obviously depressed for a moment.

Zhao Ce didn't know what was going on in her little head.

But seeing the little girl cheer up quickly, she smiled to herself.

He didn't think much about it.

A little girl of this age is in adolescence in modern times.

There are always a lot of strange ideas in my mind.

Zhao Ce has never been a parent, so he naturally doesn't understand the sentimentality of these girls.

This little girl simply doesn't need to coax herself.

Even if she is depressed every time.

They will soon be able to comfort themselves.

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "Working will definitely get dirty."

"It's okay, just do it together."

In the following process, Su Cai'er was too embarrassed to look at her husband's hand.

Her hands are working hands, so naturally they cannot be compared with a scholar like her husband.

cheer up.

The two of them quickly beat the yellow mud and dealt with it.

Put the processed yellow mud aside first.

Wait until the white sugar in the house turns into sugar sand before pouring it down.

noon.

The two of them cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge.

Add some salt and stir, then add two drops of sesame oil.

Zhao Ce felt that the wild vegetables were a bit bitter when he ate them.

But Su Cai'er was very satisfied with the meal.

In my husband's house, I eat three meals a day.

And there is always a lot of white rice added to the bowl.

She had never thought of such a day before.

After eating, I burped.

Clear the dishes on the table.

The sugar water in the pot didn't gel well with sugar sand either.

Zhao Ce sat lazily at the table, dozing off.

Enjoying this rare bit of free time.

Su Cai'er took some needlework and sat next to her, continuing to put on her clothes.

After sewing one side, I looked up at the sleepy husband next to me.

Wait until the sugar water in the pot has almost cooled down.

Zhao Ce spread the hay dried in the sun under his homemade tiles.

Pour the black and yellow, semi-solidified sugar sand into the pot and set aside.

Then you can start making yellow mud water.

Su Caier, who was in the room, quickly put down her sewing and went out to help.

She was also very curious.

Making sugar from charcoal was enough to overturn her worldview.

This yellow mud can also be used to make white sugar.

Even if she had to think hard, she couldn't figure it out.

Don't talk about her.

Even among the scholars of Ming Dynasty, no one could figure it out.

Zhao Ce, who was outside the house, had moved the wooden basin to a shady place, and said proudly to the curious little girl next to him: "Here comes the water!"

The little helper quickly took action.

Scoop a spoonful of water and add it to the wooden basin.

Zhao Ce took the wooden stick and stirred slowly.

When the mixing was almost done, Su Caier slowly added water to it.

Slowly, the yellow mud water in the wooden basin became full.

After Zhao Ce washed his hands, he squatted down again. He didn't mind it being dirty at all, so he reached in and fished it out.

Make sure all the yellow mud inside is melted.

Then he moved the pot of yellow mud water to the edge of the homemade tiles that had formed into sugar cubes.

Let it sit for a while.

A wooden barrel was placed under the broken pot, and the hay at the bottom of the pot was pulled out.

Zhao Ce said: "I'm starting."

After saying that, he took a spoonful of the solution from the upper layer of the yellow mud water.

Under Su Cai'er's nervous gaze, she slowly poured the candy from the top.

The yellow muddy water slowly seeps in from the top of the sugar cube.

Su Cai'er swallowed nervously.

Can this really be made into white sugar?

Then a magical scene really happened.

From the bottom of the broken pot, black residue flowed out.

The black residue slowly trickled into the barrel below.

A layer of white frost remained on the sugar cubes where the yellow mud water had been poured on them.

The top layer is about five inches or more and is very white.

It looks cleaner than white sugar made from charcoal.

It can be said that it is almost the same as the white sugar that Zhao Ce has seen in modern times.

Zhao Ce squatted down and gently shoveled down the top layer with a shovel.

Place on a clean dishpan.

Su Cai'er looked at this magical scene, and her mouth grew into a small "O" shape in surprise.

This white sugar is whiter than the one they made with charcoal before!

"Husband, husband."

"White sugar..."

“It really worked!”

Zhao Ce also nodded happily.

"However, it was successful."

As he said that, he scooped up another spoonful of yellow mud water and poured it down from the top.

After removing a large basin of yellow muddy water.

All the sugar cubes in the broken pot have been made.

Wait until the sugar on the bamboo basket is dried.

It's ready to be installed.

Su Cai'er couldn't help but squat down and look at the small amount of sugar.

"It turns out that not only charcoal, but also yellow mud can be used to make sugar..."

She couldn't believe it and wanted to order some of these white sugars.

But thinking about his dirty hands, he took it back.

"Husband, this is amazing."

Su Cai'er's eyes were shining with stars, and she looked at Zhao Ce with admiration.
