Abandoned woman from a poor family, she is addicted to wealth

Chapter 162 Boiling Sugarcane Juice
The farce in front of him is nothing more than a joke, and it can't recover any losses at all.

The glutinous rice flour in Liu Ji's grocery store is of good quality, and it is whiter than what Lu Jiu bought before, but it costs 25 yuan a catty, and Lu Jiu directly ordered a hundred catties.

In addition to glutinous rice flour, Lu Jiu also bought some preserved fruits, chestnuts and hawthorns, which cost about five taels of silver. Shopkeeper Liu saw that Lu Jiu had bought a lot of things, and not only wiped away dozens of dollars of change Yes, and even sent five taels of raisins.

The raisins are in shopkeeper Liu's private collection, and they are not for sale. They were brought over from Fucheng by someone else. He himself only got two catties, and now he has divided five taels to Lu Jiu, obviously wanting to make friends with Lu Jiu.

But in Lu Jiu's eyes, raisins are a very common thing, so he just accepted it.

Maybe it was related to grapes. Lu Jiu met a grape seller on the way, so Lu Jiu simply wrapped it up. Thirty catties of grapes only cost a few hundred dollars.

Lu Jiu stopped and stopped along the way, bought a lot of seasonal fruits, and always bought jam in the system space, which she couldn't afford.

Anyway, the method of making jam is only ten silver coins, so I might as well buy some fresh fruit and go back to make jam. This way, I can save a lot of money.

In addition to seasonal fruits, Lu Jiu also bought a lot of sugar cane.

Because the sugar in ancient times was not white sugar, its color was not pure enough, and its sweetness was not enough, so Lu Jiu planned to use sugarcane juice instead of white sugar.

After shopping, it was almost noon. Lu Jiu planned to go to a restaurant, but Lu Sanqiu didn't want to go. In the end, the two took a step back and went to a roadside stall to eat a few bowls of chicken noodle.

After finishing the shredded chicken noodles, Lu Jiu bought another two catties of pork before heading back home.

Lu Jiu went to see the old lady first, sat with her for a while, and then boiled sugarcane juice with Mrs. Sun.

The old lady was restless. Seeing that Lu Jiu was busy, she was idle too. She simply helped clean the sugar cane. It was not a tiring job, so Lu Jiu just let her go.

After the sugarcane was cleaned, Lu Jiu chopped it into four sections with a knife, peeled the skin and cut it into four sections vertically, and then cut a knife from the middle.

Sun put the treated sugarcane evenly into the pot, then added water submerged in the sugarcane segment, and brought it to a boil.

After the water boils, turn to low heat and simmer until the soup is thick and bubbles appear, then continue to add water submerged in the sugarcane segment, and then simmer.

Mrs. Sun put a few pieces of rock sugar in it, continued to cook on low heat, and turned off the fire after a quarter of an hour.

After Mrs. Sun poured the boiled sugarcane juice into the jar, Lu Jiu finally took out her secret weapon.

This secret weapon is lemon fruit, which is also known as lemon in modern times.

Lemons are divided into three seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Lemons can only be stored for about a month at most. Lu Jiu's luck is not bad, just in time for the harvest season of autumn flowers and fruits, which is June and July, so Lu Jiu directly put all the lemons I bought them all and stored them in the system backpack to keep them fresh.

Lemon is very useful, not only for seasoning, but also as a natural preservative, especially when adding lemon juice when making jam, it can be stored for half a year without spoiling, and it is quite useful.

Mrs. Sun has seen lemons before, they are sour, only pregnant women like to eat this, but Lu Jiu asked her to add lemon juice to the sugarcane juice, so she added it.

There was no juicer in ancient times, and Sun's strength was limited. It took a long time to squeeze out a few drops, so Lu Jiu had to take over the job.

Just when Lu Jiu was about to send some sugarcane juice to the old lady, the wooden door of the kitchen was kicked open with a bang.

　Add more, ask for a ticket, mua~
