Da Qin: Send your wife at the beginning? Madam is actually a surprised salamander

Li Mo took the sugar cane from Honglian.

I tore open the skin of the unbitten end and took a bite.

Plenty of juice, much sweeter than expected

"If you want to eat, go get it yourself. Why do you want to take it from me? Hong

Lian said with a bitter look on her face.

"Return to you, where did this sugar cane come from?"

Li Mo pushed the sugar cane he took a bite out to her again and spit out the residue in his mouth and asked.

"What sugar cane? This is called Zhe!"

Honglian was stunned for a moment, then held up the sugar cane and emphasized.

"Kitchen, with cut."

Looking at the end that was torn by Li Mo, he hesitated whether to eat it.

From the name of sugar cane in this period, we can see how hard it is.

Mugaishi means wood as hard as stone.

Li Mo said with a smile:"If you don't eat it if it's cut, why are you chewing on it? Honglian rolled her eyes at him, curled her lips and said,"What do you know? This is the fun of eating Zhe's"117"." Start eating from the less sweet part, and the later you eat, the sweeter it becomes."

Just like some people like to cut watermelon in half and eat it with a spoon.

Slicing it loses its soul.

Honglian grabbed the sugar cane and walked to a place where no one was around. He looked at the knot that he had been biting for a long time without taking it off. Then look at the end that Li Mo had chewed.

He licked his lips and bit off a small piece.

The sweet juice bloomed in Tan's mouth, and the aftertaste was endless!

As he chewed, Hong Lian suddenly froze.

I don't know what he thought of, The little one turned red.

Is this considered a kiss?

"Did your husband discover something?"

Li Mo and Feiyan continued to walk to the kitchen. According to Feiyan's understanding of him, Li Mo would not become interested in something for no reason.

"Yes, I thought of something."

Li Mo nodded lightly.

When he saw the sugar cane, he suddenly remembered that the mantra he had memorized was missing half a sentence.

Monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal.

There was another sentence at the end.

Add some sugar, Da Yiwan!

In fact, during the Warring States Period During this period, there were records about sucrose:

《There is a record in"Chu Ci Zhaohun":"The shy turtle wraps the lamb, and some of them have pulp.""

""Zhejiu" is the later sugarcane pulp.

However, the sugarcane pulp in this period was only for drinking and had not yet been used to boil sugar.

By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, India's technology of using sugarcane juice to make sugar was spread to China, so the ancients began to use sugarcane pulp. Boil sugar.

Before the Ming Dynasty, sugar was mainly red or black.

In ancient times, the cost of traditional sugar production was extremely high and not everyone could afford it.

Therefore, the price was also extremely expensive.

Later it became an important strategy Supplies.

White sugar can provide necessary calories and is a high-calorie food that can quickly replenish energy on the battlefield.

Not only that.

White sugar is also an important fuel additive because of its high density of energy and calories.

Li Mo finally understood why the prepared gunpowder was not fully powerful. It turned out that this soulful thing was missing.

The next day, Li Mo had several large bundles of sugar cane delivered from the bottom of the mountain.

They were all piled in the backyard.

Making sugar from sugar cane only requires pressing and cooking.

Li Mo Mo ordered the maids to wash the bundles of sugar cane and cut them into sections.

There is a juicer at home, but there is no juicer.

Then use the traditional pressing method.

One pound of sugar cane can squeeze out about four taels of juice.

But this is for future generations. With improved varieties and a juicer. In actual operation, only about two taels of juice can be obtained from one kilogram of sugar cane.

After all the large bundles of sugar cane are squeezed, about twenty kilograms of juice can be obtained.

Put the juice into The black-yellow syrup is boiled over fire in the vat, and after waiting to solidify, it becomes brown sugar. The freshly squeezed juice is turbid and contains many impurities, so the sugar boiled out will turn black and yellow.

The maids clean the sugar cane there, Li Mo Then he tied up his clothes, opened his arms and started squeezing the juice.

The heavy stone hit the wooden wedge and squeezed the sugar cane between the two pieces of wood.

The sound of"dong dong dong" attracted many people to watch.

Hong Lian watched with greedy eyes. Looking at the sugar cane that the maids were cleaning, they covered their teeth with a depressed expression. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) I gnawed too much yesterday, and my teeth still hurt.

"What is your husband doing?"

Jing Salamander walked past with Duan Murong who never left, and asked while Li Mo was taking the residue.

Li Mo replied while busy,"Make gold."

In ancient times, there was a saying of"one tael of gold and one tael of sugar."

White sugar can be called the top luxury product.

It is true to say that we are making gold.

"If you could make gold, I wouldn't have to be so busy every day. We could all turn stones into gold together at home."

A voice of resentment came, and Zi Nu, who took a break from her busy schedule and came to watch the excitement, said angrily.

The family had too much property, and although she didn't need to do it herself, the daily accounts alone were enough to keep her busy.

Fortunately, Nong Yu and Mrs. Hu Now that the few of them can take charge of their own business, she feels a little more relaxed.

"Don’t believe it, wait and see how I turn this thing into gold....."

Li Mo chuckled.

When the finished product is finished, Zi Nu's astute business acumen will definitely be able to see its commercial value.

In ancient times, there were two things that were most important and most profitable.

That's salt and iron.

But both of these things belong to the official camp.

The State of Qin said it was an official business, but in fact it was still in private hands.

That is Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei dominated the Qin Kingdom during his lifetime, so it was naturally impossible to leave this kind of profitable business to others.

If he does it, it is a legal official business.

If others do it, it is selling privately.

He's going to be torn apart by a car!

As a result, everything is now cheaper for Li Mo.

The profits from these two businesses alone accounted for half of his total income.

You can imagine how great the benefits are!

Although sugar was not as necessary as salt in ancient times, it still played an important role.

If we could monopolize the world's sucrose supply, that would be an astronomical figure.

Who would mind having too much money?

And sugar can be added to Qin’s military supplies.

The state pays the bill, this is a big and stable project!

Most people can’t even do what they want to do!

Unknowingly, he has become the most evil form of monopoly capitalism.

Honglian leaned over to the bucket of juice and stretched her neck to look inside.

Then he let out a disgusted sigh:"Why is it so dirty? You're not making it for us to drink, are you?" The freshly fried sugarcane juice was greenish-yellow and looked extremely turbid.

"It's not for drinking, it's 0.7 for eating."

Li Mo took out the residue from the pressing tank and stuffed a few new ones in.

Hong Lian rolled his eyes:"You call drinking water a draft? Li

Mo laughed and said,"Just wait until I make it and you get eaten. Get out of the way, I'm going to smash it.""

Guren is particularly fond of sweets.

It can be seen from the fact that she carries candied fruits with her.

I don't know if she eats sweets because she has grown so exaggeratedly.

The fat on her body has grown in the right places, and it has all accumulated to the two big lumps on her chest. Above.

Soon, a pile of sugar cane was squeezed into a barrel of greenish-yellow liquid.

Pour the sugar cane juice into the prepared vat and put it on the fire to start boiling.

The more the juice boils, the less it becomes and the thicker it becomes. Thick.

Eventually it formed a black and yellow viscous substance.

Seeing this horrible appearance, Hong Lian curled her mouth in disgust. Even if

I, Hong Lian, am so greedy, there is no way I would eat a bite of this kind of thing!
