Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 271

In the afternoon of the next day, the ordered large water tank also arrived.

The family adjusted the yellow muddy water and installed ten large tanks.The stove was also completely dry, and the iron pot was put on the stand, and the family planned to have a big fight.

The newly built shed is in the backyard of the main yard. As long as the door of the front yard is closed, no one can come in.The shed is divided into three rooms, the inside is for boiling sugar, the middle is for drying sugar, and the outermost room is an operation room.

After the ten large iron pots were boiled, they all lit the stove, and half a stone of sugar could be poured into each large iron pot.

After the sugar syrup melted, Yang removed the fire, Huo Erhuai scooped the sugar syrup into the tile, Yang Fu made the yellow muddy water, and Huo Xi supported the wooden mold. Once the mold was full, he would move a new mold to the Put sugar syrup under the tile.

Yang moved the slightly cooled molds to a shelf in another room.

Seven or eight-storey wooden shelves were placed in four rows in the shed, and the plinths were hammered into the ground to prevent shaking.It is ventilated on all sides, and the wooden shelf is taller than Huo Xi.

A mold can hold ten catties of sugar syrup, although it is not heavy, but Yang is tired enough to keep moving it.So he switched with Yang Fu.

It doesn't take much time to pour a pot of sugar syrup into the mold, and it takes only half an hour for ten pots.

Ten pots are five stones.Tens of thousands of sugar, less than ninety shi, Huo Xi estimated that the first shower, the family rushed to do it, and it should be finished by dinner time tomorrow.

It's just that there are not so many molds, and only a hundred of them were made today.Should be able to get five hundred tomorrow.No amount of drying racks can fit.

Five hundred is five thousand catties of sugar syrup.Then it takes one day to cut off the white sugar knotted in the first time, and then rinse it for the second time and the third time...

It will take at least seven or eight days to turn all the ten thousand catties of brown sugar into white sugar.

"Xi'er, what should I put this finished sugar on?"

"Tomorrow, my mother and I will cut the sugar at home, and you and your father will go and bring back the clay pot we ordered. Let's wrap the sugar bricks in oiled paper, and wrap a layer of hemp paper outside. We will pack the crushed sugar and granulated sugar in clay pots."

Yang Fu agreed.

The next day, Huo Nian didn't go out to play, he obediently helped at home, passed a hemp rope to his mother, a piece of oiled paper to his sister, helped carry the wrapped sugar bricks, and ate while helping, and after eating a few pieces, it was so sweet No more eating.

"Go and play." The child is sensible, and Yang's heart is sweet.

Huo Nian shook his head: "No, father and uncle are not here, I want to help mother and sister."

"You're so good." Yang praised him a few words, with a look of doting on him.

"Aren't you going to teach Stone and Tietou how to water? Have you taught me?" Huo Xi teased him.

"The iron head knows how to teach it, but the stone can't teach it no matter what. Everyone can dig it a few times, but he still can't float. I drank a lot of water, but I am so worried." With a sad face, he touched his chin Huo Xi sat beside her.

Huo Xi and Yang couldn't help laughing seeing him like that.

Yang said: "Is Shitou young and afraid of water? If he is afraid of water, you have to teach him slowly. You have to let him stop being afraid first."

"He's not afraid of water, he dares to touch fish in the water with his head down. He can hold his head in the water longer than an iron head, but he just can't float. Sigh."

Yang smiled and comforted him: "Then read to him a few more times, maybe he will be able to learn it a few more times."

"Well, everyone learned it yesterday, but he couldn't, and he was crying. I'm going to teach him after a while when it's cooler."

"You're so good. With a gentleman as good as our Nian'er, he will definitely be able to teach him."

"Well, I can definitely teach him." Nodding his head, his face looked serious.

Huo Xi sometimes felt that it was good for Nian'er to live such a simple and happy life.The world is simple, living simply, without so many worries, may be happier.

Just can't let it go.In the dream is the last look of my mother looking at her...

If Nian'er can't get his identity back, he won't even have the chance to pay homage to his mother.

Huo Xi turned her head to look at Nian'er, and saw that he was next to Yang Shi, helping out a little favor while talking to Yang Shi, with a look of admiration on his face.

Huo Xi turned his gaze back, quickened his movements, and danced the bamboo knife into the air.

When Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu came back in the afternoon, they helped to cut and pack it. After a busy day, the family finally finished yesterday's sugar syrup.

After dinner, I continued to work again.Ji Laozhuang sent all the remaining [-] molds.Should be able to fill two hundred tonight.Fill the remaining two hundred molds tomorrow morning, and cut the sugar in the afternoon.The first shower will be completed by tomorrow morning.

It's just that she has to go to the city tomorrow afternoon.The day after tomorrow, the guild will discuss major issues.

"Mom, let's find two more people. We're going to lose our hands cutting white sugar today. The day after tomorrow, my uncle and I will go to the city, and you and dad will probably be busy."

"It's okay, let's do it slowly. If you have more time, you will have more time. There is no rush. Our things are good, and we can sell them if we put more time in."

Seeing that Mrs. Yang disagreed, Huo Xi had no choice but to give up.

Discuss with Yang Fu at night: "If we still want to do this business in the future, we should buy a few servants with dead contracts to use. Our family is so busy. I don’t dare to use them in my hands. It’s better for our own people to use them at ease.”

Yang Fu nodded: "Then when I return to Beijing, I will go to the Dental Clinic to inquire."

"Well, go to a few more places and search slowly. It's okay to be stupid, just be loyal."

At night, Gansan sent the news back.Mu Yan was silent for a while, then pulled the person in his hand with Li Yikan Erhua.

Instruct Li Yi: "You arrange Bao Xia's family to the dental clinic and give it to her."

"Yes."

"Master, the family of Ji Laozhuang can also use it, and the body deed is also in her hands, so why doesn't she use it?" Kan Er couldn't figure out that there are ready-made people available, but they need to spend money to buy people.

"She shouldn't be worried about using it. You wouldn't dare to use it if you wanted to. It's such a big deal. Don't worry about using your own people. I'll arrange it tomorrow." Li Yi said.

On the other side, Shangyong County received a letter from Li Shiwu, and Li Shimian also discussed with Ma Shi about giving Huo Xi away.

"I didn't expect this child to be able to create such a family business at such a young age."

"If Rou'er is still here, she is still raised in the back house, so there is no need to plan for a living." It's not easy to show your face and ask for a living among people.Ma Shi pressed the corner of his eye.

Li Shimian was also very sad.

Seeing that the old wife was sad, he comforted her again: "You should be happy, Sister Ning'er is tougher than Rou'er. She also raised Nian'er so well. Didn't Shi Wu say that Nian'er is smart and sensible? She is obedient, her eyes look exactly like our Rouer..."

Ma Shi got better, and was drawn to tears by Li Shimian's words.

"Back then, she was only seven years old, and escaped from Zhuangzi with her younger brother in her arms. If she couldn't escape, I didn't dare to think about it. My poor two grandchildren, no relatives are by my side... It really hurt me ... I don't know when I can see those two children, my Rou'er can't even see the two children growing up..."

Thinking of their daughter who died in vain, the couple sat and cried for half the night, and the lights in the room were kept on all night.
