tough peasant girl

Chapter 243 Acknowledging the ancestors and returning to the clan (2)
"Okay!" Lin Poxue hasn't forgotten the sugarcane forest she saw before, and the sugar project depends on it, but this matter cannot be known to outsiders, so she handed over this matter to Lin Danyang.If we have this method, we won't have to worry about white sugar in the future. The price of white sugar is so high that ordinary people can't afford it.Lin Danyang, Lin Poxue and the others cut down a lot of sugar cane early in the morning. Su Anran tasted this, but he was surprised at that time. Can this thing be eaten?But after I ate it, I realized that it has a lot of water and is very sweet.

Lin Poxue took out a knife, peeled off the skin of the sugarcane, and cut it into sections for everyone to taste.

"Xiaoxue, this is really sweet and full of moisture, but can this really be made into candy?" It's not that Sun Ying doesn't believe her daughter's words, but she's a little curious.

Lin Poxue smiled and said: "You will know later, but our family's manpower is probably not enough. How about calling Aunt Zhao's family to help, maybe after we open the workshop, we are looking for help, but this area There is not enough sugarcane forest, we need to grow sugarcane."

"This thing looks similar to bamboo, and it should be similar to the way of planting bamboo, right?" Lin Danyang couldn't help expressing his opinion.

Lin Poxue doesn't know either, but she thinks this should be similar to leeks, and one stubble will grow.Don't worry about that much now, let's see the situation first.

After transporting the sugar cane to Lin Danyang's cabin, he started to get busy, peeling and squeezing the juice, beating the sugar cane with a pier, and soon the sugar cane juice was squeezed out.

But this "juicing" is a labor-intensive job, so several people take turns to do it, filter the squeezed juice through gauze and put it in a clean wooden basin. After cleaning the big pot, pour the sugarcane juice into the pot, and cook it over high heat, watching the sugarcane water in the pot keep bubbling, and the water mist is getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, I found that the sugarcane water in the pot had turned into a sticky syrup, which was half the battle.

Lin Poxue put the syrup out, and after cooling, the syrup became hard sugar bricks, which can be used to make sugar cubes, and the Tang bricks were split into pieces with a knife.It is also quite happy to see the finished product.Lin Luoyun couldn't help but took a sip, "It's so sweet, so delicious, this is much sweeter than white sugar."

Lin Poxue thought that sugar cubes should be relatively cheaper than white sugar, so she would sell two kinds. White sugar must be processed on the basis of laying bricks and filtered continuously to make it. She couldn't help laughing when she thought of this Fortunately, I know a lot of things, otherwise I would not be able to do it even if I gave myself the raw materials.After this was done, Lin Poxue started to make fragrant pancakes again. She kept boiling the pork pancreas in a large pot until they were almost completely rotten, and then put the hibiscus flowers picked by Lin Luoyun in it. , and then put some ash for fire, and then kept stirring.

After everything was dissolved, he took out the rectangular wooden box that Lin Danyang had made before, and handed over the rest of the work to him. "Uncle Danyang, you pour this water into the wooden box."

Lin Danyang nodded, and started to move the water. It was the first time Su Anran saw someone making such a thing, and couldn't help being curious, but he remembered that it was recorded in the history books, could it really be sweet?He looked at it dubiously.

Sun Ying also kept listening to Lin Poxue mentioning it, but she felt that the pig's soap was so greasy that no one could touch it. It was disgusting to look at. Could it really become a soap?Can the laundry be clean?There was also the plant ash, which was nothing short of gray, and I didn't know what Xiaoxue was thinking.

Lin Poxue could faintly see everyone's anxiety, but just pour it in a wooden box, wait for it to cool completely, and let it dry in the sun.Lin Xiu'er was upset, the place was smelly, so she didn't want to stay here all the time, she turned around and told her mother that her father was killing her.The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt.

Lin Zian was so busy talking about Xiu'er just now that he forgot about his wife, he hurried to find Xiu'er, trying to flatter her: "Xiu'er, Dad, I really didn't mean it, let me tell you, your father's My heart comes first. Don't you want to go back? Dad will take you back tomorrow, okay? I know you miss your mother, shall we go back?"

Although Xiu'er was unhappy in her heart, she still pretended to be obedient and obedient in front of Lin Zian, "Then dad still wants to take the two older brothers back together? But how are you going to explain to mother?" She said unintentionally, Lin Zian's heart began to feel uneasy.

He did tell his wife about it, but she never said she agreed. He also brought Xiu'er to recognize his ancestors this time. If he brought Lin Hu and Lin Jun back like this, maybe she would take him back. They were all kicked out, so let's talk about it first. She is not in good health and can't give birth to a son. Doesn't this make his old Lin family have no descendants?

"Xiu'er, thank you for reminding Dad. After we go back, Dad will discuss this matter with your mother." Lin Zian smiled kindly, and held Xiu'er in his arms. Anyway, Sun Ying's family couldn't run anywhere. go.Lin Maocai thought to himself, since the boss is so capable, he can't just care about enjoying himself, right?So he couldn't help calling Lin Zian and said: "Zian, do you really plan to go back tomorrow? Why did you make up your mind so quickly? Are you used to living a good life, and can't live a poor life?"

Seeing Lin Maocai saying these words, Lin Zian felt a little unhappy, but the He family had already been tossed like that by him, so of course he couldn't do anything to his father again. "Father, look at what you said. Is your son like that? It's not that Xiu'er misses her mother. She has never left. I will bring her back next time."

When Lin Maocai heard this, he felt a little better, but he couldn't help but continue beating. "Boss, you can live a good life, don't just worry about yourself, your two younger brothers also need to help, otherwise you, the boss, will lose face when you go out. You eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and we eat bran and drink at home. You are not afraid An outsider poked your spine?"

Lin Zian couldn't help becoming annoyed when he heard these words, where he had his own son in his heart, he only had himself in his eyes, but he was fancying his own money.How can there be such a father?He was silent for a long time, but his expression was not very good-looking.

Lin Maocai saw the impatience in Lin Zian's eyes, and he said in a more gentle tone: "Boss, I just said that casually, if you leave, I can stop you, even if your mother has a stroke now. You need a lot of money to move, and you also know that the third child has been devastated since he was unable to become an official. You should help father to enlighten him anyway. As for the second child, he will be like that in his life, but if you meet Tell him about a suitable woman, you know that the second daughter-in-law is barren, how can they live without a child in this life? Don’t people say that our family is extinct?”
