It starts with the production team driving the big truck

Chapter 331 This thing can also make sugar?
The sound of Li Xiuzhi and Cao Chungui moving mountain goods into the east room woke up Lao Cao. Lao Cao sat up in confusion and glanced outside. It was already dark.

"Emma slept until this time..."

Lao Cao hurriedly turned over, and his daughter-in-law's screams came from the outer room!
Through the glass window, Lao Cao turned around and looked, okay!

My big raccoon cat is back!

There was also a big fish over a foot long in his mouth!

The old cat jumped on the pot and threw the big fish into the pot. Watching the fish swimming back and forth in the pot, Sun Jianping rushed to move things into the house and meowed!
I brought the fish back to you!
Don't say that Meow is not particular!
"It's interesting enough!"

Sun Jianping put down a basket of mushrooms and touched the old cat's ears. The old cat narrowed its eyes and enjoyed the reward from its owner.

"Chungui, you said you and our cat are going fishing, who of the two can catch more?" Li Xiuzhi asked with a smile. Cao Chungui rolled his eyes at his wife, "Then let him catch the most."

"Haha, you, you, you, no matter what you order, it's not as good as a cat."

"Meow!"

The old cat wagged its tail proudly, jumped off the pot table, ran to the kang in the main room, and stretched out comfortably!

Still so comfortable.

"I'm going to Lao Xu's house."

Lao Cao hurried out of the door and went straight to Xu Jinshan's house. Li Xiuzhi was stunned and said, "Dad, isn't it annoying to Uncle Xu? Why are you going to his house?"

"Well, Wang Jingang seems to have been hired by a coal and mining bureau in Hegang. Isn't that right? Go tell them and hurry up to the commune to get the admission letter."

"I admire Wang Jingang, a guy like him, who can really do things, and when it comes time to find a job for himself!" Li Xiuzhi was a little angry, "He doesn't mind being arrogant. He doesn't know what he is like? It's just a trick!"

"Okay, sister-in-law, what do you want me to do? I know I have the skills. We have our own destiny. Let's stew the fish. I'll call Yueyue back."

"Well, this kid got dizzy while playing."

Li Xiuzhi grabbed the one-foot-long fish, disemboweled it, scraped off the scales and gouged the gills, cleaned it up after a while, sauteed it with a little soybean paste, added onions, ginger and garlic, took out a little lard that was reluctant to eat and poured it in, and there was a clang. Cover the pot.

"Brother Tiangan, it's so sweet!"

Xiao Yueyue sat in front of her private plot, her little mouth was sticky, and there were a lot of persimmon and dark seeds dipped in it. Sun Jianping smiled and squeezed her little hands, which were also sticky and full of sugar juice.

Rural children have a strong ability to survive in the wild. It is autumn and September now, and all kinds of wild fruits are ripe in the fields. Xiao Yueyue and the group of little brothers and sisters have already eaten their fill of wild fruits, and they are so full that they burp.

"Oh, what a pity. I'm having fish stew at home tonight and you're already full..."

"I, I can eat a little more!" Xiao Yueyue blushed and said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

"Brother, sweet pole!"

Xiao Yueyue pointed to a few sweet poles cut from the ground and shouted loudly.

Okay, little greedy cat, you have gone home and don’t forget to bring your own snacks.

Sweet stalk is also called sweet sorghum and reed millet. It is a grass crop and a close relative of sorghum. When eating it, you have to bite one end and peel off the sharp outer bast to reveal the light green core inside.

Is it sweet...?

very high.

Sun Jianping once read in a book that the sugar content of this kind of sweet stalk can reach about 18% to 28%, even exceeding the second largest sugar crop, sugar beet! It’s the new favorite of sugary plants!
The sugar content of beets is only about 16%.

"Eat it quickly, it will be frozen in a few days, and there will be no need to eat it!" Cao Chungui walked out of the house, picked up one too, and peeled off the outer skin skillfully, cracking and foaming at the mouth.

The food is really scary.

"Brother, how many sweet stalks have we planted in our village this year?"

Sun Jianping was thinking about taking another trip to the grassland before the autumn harvest, but the temperature has not yet risen yet, and the alkaline soil evaporates too slowly, so it is better to do something else during this time.

"It's quite a lot. When your sister-in-law planted sweet stalks, she had two bags of seeds left over, so she spread them all to the wasteland. Now they've grown up, and it's a big black patch."

Cao Chungui chewed the sweet stick and said vaguely.

Sun Jianping's eyes lit up. Now I have some fun!

The next day was the weekend, and he drove his carriage to the private plot early in the morning. Most of the children in the village were there, each with a sweet pole, playing and playing.

"Children, come here, my brother wants to discuss something with you!"

Sun Jianping picked up the youngest son of Chen Peilin's family and put him on the carriage. The children crowded around him with a roar, all of them with dirty little faces, which made him want to laugh.

These wild boys!
"Is the sweet pole delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"Brother wants to make a hundred sweet sticks into candies. Do you agree?"

The children looked at each other, and Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xingwen jumped out, "I agree! This is my brother, who doesn't agree with me beating him!"

"Hey, hey, hey, we want peace!" Sun Jianping grabbed Xiao Xingwen's arm, "We are not red beards, we need to be reasonable!"

"Then will you let us eat the candies made by big brother?"

"Of course, this is your sweet stick. Of course I have to share the candy with you. Brother only needs a little."

"Then I agree!"

"I agree!"

The children all raised their little hands, and Sun Jianping smiled, "Since the vote was unanimously approved, you all stay here and don't touch the horse. I will go to the field to cut the sweet stalks back, and we can make candy bars to eat!"

"Yeah!"

The children were so happy that they jumped three feet high.

Sun Jianping picked up the sickle and walked into the depths of the private land. Only then did he discover the trap hidden in the private land. The east end of the private land was close to a hill. Below the hill, a dark area was filled with sweet stalks!

This is all Li Xiuzhi's masterpiece!

She only planted a few sweet stalks in her own plot. They grew very tall and required a lot of land. If the children hadn't cried and insisted on planting them, she probably wouldn't have planted them at all!
Anyway, no matter where it is planted, these wild children will rush in and cause trouble, so just throw it on the wasteland!
Unexpectedly, the fertility of this wasteland under the hill is extraordinary. The sweet stalks grow vigorously and are full of juice!
Sun Jianping chopped down a whole carriage and saw how much was left. He shook his head and left some for the children. If they were all chopped down, they would have to settle the score with me!

He tied up a cart full of sweet poles with rope and called the children back to the village!
Let's go and get you something delicious!
The children cheered and followed the carriage, jumping and jumping like a group of happy little fools, into the stable.

"This is a big white horse, this is a bay horse..."

It was the first time for many children to enter the stable and they were curious about everything. Old Chengtou came back from letting the horse go and was feeding the horse water. When he saw him coming back with a cart of sweet poles, he hurriedly picked up an armful and threw it into the manger. The children screamed with anger!

"This is what big brother makes for us!"

Wulong Ma didn't care about that. He was already greedy for it when he came back from the cart. Now that he saw the fresh sweet sticks, he started to chew them without any hesitation.

Hey!
So sweet!

Horses like sweetness but reject sourness. When they eat the sizzling sweetness, their eyes will sparkle!
Really delicious!
It opened its big mouth and clicked, its sharp teeth were like guillotines, and it swallowed the thick sweet pole piece by piece!

It’s not enough. Master, please give me some more!
"Okay, don't eat it. If you eat it again, you'll make me cry a lot!"

Sun Jianping couldn't help but patted the horses' heads and asked the children to tear off all the sweet stalk leaves and throw them into the manger for the horses to eat.

He took out the guillotine, cut the sweet stem into five centimeter pieces, and put it into a large basket. Thick sugar water flowed out from under the guillotine, causing many ants to come over and feast.

Good guy!
It seems that no matter people or animals, there is no one who doesn’t like sweets!

Sun Jianping took the donkey and went to the mill to crush these sweet stalks, squeeze out the juice, and collect them all in the water rice dumpling. One hundred sweet poles squeezed out the five-water rice dumpling juice, which was sticky and green, exuding the unique flavor of plants. Some fragrance.

Filter the residue with gauze, cook it in a large pot over low heat, pour it into a square plate and let it cool...

The next steps are exactly the same as boiling maltose.

After struggling for a whole day, in the evening, these little babies, who were so hungry that their stomachs were growling, finally saw the yellow sugar cubes in the pot. They were lighter in color than the brown sugar sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, and the overall color was yellow. There is also a refreshing aroma that brown sugar does not have.

When it finally cooled down, Sun Jianping broke the candy boiled in the square plate into small pieces and distributed them to each of the children.

The children lined up to take the candy from his hand and licked it, with sweet smiles on their little faces!
Really delicious!
