Chapter 2219 Unprecedented
This time, the guests who came to the door were personally brought by the bearded village head, and they came from the neighboring village.

The leader was a man with a yellow beard. He spread his hands and showed Chu Beichen what was in his palm. It was a dirty lump of sugar, which seemed to have changed hands countless times.

"Chu, did you make this precious candy?" Yellow Beard looked at Chu Beichen hopefully.

Chu Beichen shook his head, "I brought this from my hometown!"

"Then do you know how to make this candy?" Yellow Beard asked the next best thing.

Chu Beichen understood the intention of the other party, they came to him to process sugar.

The bearded village chief coughed, and explained to Chu Beichen, "They grow candied radishes in their village, and they are very sweet, so they want to ask you to help boil the sugar out of the candied radishes and process them into this look!"

Chu Beichen smiled, "I can make candy, but it's a bit difficult to make it like this!"

Chu Beichen can only make rock sugar and brown sugar processed by local methods. As for this kind of cube sugar, it needs machinery and equipment to make it.

Yellow Beard was very happy when he heard that, "You just need to help us make candy cubes, now we can only boil candied radishes into thicker syrup!"

Chu Beichen nodded and agreed to help the other party make candy.

Yellow Beard was very sincere. He first invited Su Nian and Chu Beichen to visit his village.

Su Nian and Chu Beichen also saw the so-called Tangluo Man, according to their observations, this thing looks similar to a beet.

Yellowbeard and his village’s method of using beets is to cut the beets into pieces and boil them, so that thicker syrup can be obtained after boiling and distillation. However, the syrup is always syrup, and there are many restrictions on whether it is carried or eaten. .

Chu Beichen agreed to teach them how to make rock candy. It is not difficult to make rock candy with the existing conditions.

The villagers sent Huang Huzi to study at Chu Beichen's house. Of course, Huang Huzi brought several large barrels of syrup as raw materials.

In the process of making rock sugar, the most important thing is to add oil and alum.

Fat is easy to handle, Chu Beichen has it at home, it is obtained by Su Nian by boiling the fat from the prey.

When the syrup was almost boiled, Chu Beichen added the oil and alum into the pot, continued to stir for a while, then poured the syrup into the wooden barrel, then covered the wooden barrel with animal skins, and put it on top of the fireplace It was roasting, and the wooden barrel could be moved from the fireplace to the side of the fireplace when the temperature rose.

Chu Beichen explained to Huang Huzi how to heat the wooden barrel, and told Huang Huzi that within 7 days, the syrup in the barrel was crystallizing, so he must not lift the animal hide to check, and then let Huang Huzi seven days later Come back to rock candy.

Yellow Beard kept the main points of the production process firmly in mind, then gave all the remaining syrup to Chu Beichen, and then went home.

Chu Beichen cooked all the remaining syrup in the same way and baked them together by the fireplace.

Seven days later, Yellow Beard came and brought several villagers with him.

Chu Beichen opened the wooden barrel in front of them, and saw that the wall of the wooden barrel was covered with white crystals, and Chu Beichen broke off a piece for them to taste.These villagers all showed surprise expressions. It turned out that in this short period of seven days, the syrup met grease and alum, and it had already crystallized into rock sugar.

A group of people with yellow beards cheered happily. They felt that Chu Beichen had helped them a lot and solved the important technical problem that the syrup was difficult to turn into sugar cubes. In order to thank Chu Beichen, they gave Chu Beichen and his wife a large amount of Syrup, and even the seeds of candied radishes.

Now with the help of Chu Beichen and his wife, the villagers in the cedar forest area can eat candied wheat flour and cheese. Everyone generally reports that the food is not so monotonous, and there are many more delicious things.

After being praised by everyone, Chu Beichen worked hard and found the plant seeds that can be used to extract oil, and even made an oil press machine.

The bearded village chief couldn’t put down the technical patents at home, so he simply took the young and middle-aged hunters in the village to build a new wooden house against the wind and snow, and put the oil press and stone mill in it, so that the villagers have If necessary, you can enter this log cabin and process your own raw materials.

At this time, Su Nian and Chu Beichen found that the villagers still lacked too many things, such as having an oil press but no containers for storing oil.

If you want to store oil and wine, the simplest vessel is pottery, which is easy to make and learn.

Chu Beichen persuaded the bearded village head and led the villagers to find pottery clay in the cedar forest, and then began to dig kilns, make simple pottery and fire it.

The pottery that Chu Beichen made for the first time were pottery bowls and pots.

The utensils that people use now are limited to wooden bowls and stone bowls, and the things that these two utensils can hold are limited.

Clay bowls and pots are different. Almost all ingredients are suitable for these two things.

When it was time to leave the kiln, the villagers who had already come to watch the pottery bowls and jars cheered excitedly.

The village chief embraced Chu Beichen excitedly. This is already the fourth important invention made by Chu Beichen.

Chu Beichen was very calm. He told the village chief that the underground clay is not inexhaustible, so the production of clay bowls and pots should be controlled, and these things cannot be exchanged. Allow the villagers to exchange it, and someone will steal the technology for profit.

Chu Beichen doesn't care about technical patents, he just doesn't want the world's resources to be wasted too quickly, and repeat the mistakes of the earth.

The village chief with a beard is now obeying Chu Beichen's words, and he does what he says.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the house has to keep burning fires to maintain the temperature, so the wood is used up very quickly.

Su Nian and Chu Beichen were surprised to find that the snow on their roof had turned into thick ice.

It turns out that the owners of other log cabins regularly remove snow and frost from the roofs, but only fake farmers like Su Nian and Chu Beichen don’t understand this detail.

The husband and wife felt very ashamed, and they broke and shoveled off the thick snow and ice on the roof before the cabin shook.

After clearing the snow, Chu Beichen went all out to reinforce and repair the cabin as a whole.

Now that the storage at home is unprecedentedly abundant, Su Nian, Chu Beichen and his wife are all ready for the coming of the big snowstorm.

At this time, the two of them heard from the villagers that a herd of wild horses had come to the cedar forest.

Chu Beichen is a real horse racing enthusiast. Originally, when he saw the villagers driving red deer and pulling sledges, he thought that there were no wild horses in this place. Now after hearing the news, he cheered and wanted to see the wild horses immediately. Trace, try to see if you can bring two horses back.
