Douluo's Unification of Mountains and Rivers

"This is a plant I dug near the swamp, let you take a look!"

After Yang Chen finished speaking, he poured the potato-like roots onto the ground.

When Yang Shu saw this, his eyes lit up, as if a foodie had encountered a new world.

"Why are you pruning so many green pu roots?"

Yangshu knows this thing, and it is called Qingpu.This kind of plant will store the sugar accumulated in the year in the rhizome before winter. When the next spring comes, it will directly use the stored sugar to bloom and bear fruit and reproduce life.

In other words, during the period from the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring, the sugar content of Qingpu root pieces is at its highest.It's just that this thing grows deep in the mud and is very difficult to pull out. It takes too much effort.The exhausted energy cannot be regained by eating, so no one digs out the green cattails to eat, only gluttonous eaters eat it occasionally.

After saying that, he explained to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen said: "Don't worry about what I want to do first. First help me prepare a few large water tanks, lime powder, and some yellow mud."

Yang Chen knew many techniques for making white sugar, but he lacked equipment and did not know how to make some raw materials. He could only combine them with each other to make white sugar using the simplest indigenous methods.

The method written in "Tiangong Kaiwu" is to use yellow mud as an adsorbent to make white sugar. The so-called yellow mud is a clay-based material.At this time, brown sugar, yellow mud water, straw, funnel, and water tank are needed.

To make brown sugar, first squeeze out the juice from the rhizome, pour in lime powder, and pour in air (carbon dioxide), so as to neutralize the acidity and remove impurities (protein, etc.).Then filter it through gauze, pour it into a pot and boil it to remove the foam.Finally boil out the brown sugar.

Then use the mud covering method to put the brown sugar in a funnel. First seal the lower opening with straw. After two or three days, cover it with yellow mud. Remove the straw below. Soon you will see that the sugar under the mud has turned white. granulated sugar.

After several days of hard work, the two brothers Yang Chen and Yang Shu finally made the first white sugar on Douluo Continent. (Anyway, there is absolutely no such thing in Yuetuocheng!)

Yang Shu stretched out his fingers and twisted the white frost-like sugar and put it in his mouth. At that moment, Yang Shu knew what sweetness was for the first time!

"This method is so weird, it actually takes out all the sweetness!"

Yang Shu said with a look of disbelief.

Yang Chen looked at the "white sugar" at this time. Although it was not as white as the white sugar in the previous life, it was still a little yellowish due to the accumulation of sugar. It didn't matter, Yang Chen was just using it to make Ivan bigger.

Now that the sugar is ready, enough potassium nitrate (white saltpetre and plant ash) and charcoal were also prepared.Just buy some sulfur and burn it.

When several materials are mixed in proportion, wonderful effects can be produced.

Ordinarily, Yang Chen had never tried this thing in his previous life, so there was really no use for it.But out of curiosity, he still checked the relevant information.

I never thought it would come in handy one day!

The next day, Yang Chen was originally going to ask his aunt for money to buy sulfur. After all, Yang Chen's entire wealth was spent on research a while ago.I can only ask for help.

When the eldest lady Cheng Jiaojiao heard Yang Chen's request, she said: "That's such a coincidence. Tomorrow happens to be my mother's birthday. All relatives and friends of the Cheng family will congratulate her on her birthday. You will also go with her. I just happened to be shopping after attending the luncheon.”

When Yang Chen thought about it, this was good. By the way, he could meet relatives and friends who had already started a family, so he could see more of the scene.

When she talked about this with her mother in the evening, Yang pondered for a moment and took out a pendant made of half a copper coin from her chest, which still exuded a warm fragrance.

Yang handed the pendant to Yang Chen: "Take it. Back then, my mother was just an abandoned baby. She was abandoned in the wilderness. She was rescued by Yang Chen's grandfather, and then she was raised by the Yang family. Except for the There is only this half of a copper pendant in a package. This is because my mother grew up in the Yang Mansion, and she doesn’t know where to go other than the Yang Mansion. If you go out to explore in the future, you may be able to find your biological uncle with the token!"

Yang had seen that package before, and it looked like it was a fabric that only wealthy families could afford. Her family must have lost her in an accident, Yang thought to herself.

This is the first time that Yang Chen has heard about his mother's life experience. No wonder he adopted Brother Mouse, who is also a baby. Not only is he overflowing with motherhood in the lactation period, but more importantly, he has a kind-hearted temperament that shows sympathy for others.

"Don't worry, mother. When I grow up, I will definitely find my mother's family so that you can meet my grandma and grandpa!"

Isn't it just to find his mother's natal family, Yang Chen thought, it seems that he has a new mission on Douluo Continent.

Yang Chen put on the pendant given by his mother and took it into his hand. This half coin looked like a copper coin from his previous life. There was a half-square hole in the middle. It was very different from the copper soul coins on the mainland. Could it be a privately circulated coin in some kingdoms?

It seems that in the future, as long as we find the area where the coins are used, we can greatly narrow the search scope. It's late at night and it's time to sleep.

-------------------------------------

The next day, the Yang family prepared the bicycle frame. Yang Chen also brought a small half can of sugar, wanting to see if this thing would be valuable in the city. After all, the cultivation of a soul master still requires a lot of money.

Yang Hao did not go with the Yang family. He said that he went directly to Chengfu to help and wanted to see his grandma first.

The old lady of the Cheng Mansion was Cheng Jiaojiao's mother, and she gave birth to three daughters and two sons for the Yang Mansion.

The eldest daughter Cheng Jiao'e, Wuhun Shuicao, is a sixteenth-level soul master. She usually has the least dealings with Cheng Jiaojiao, and often uses her status as a soul master to belittle her two younger sisters.

Just relying on her second sister Cheng Jiaojiao and third sister Cheng Jiaoyan to have no soul power.

As for the two sons, they both have soul power, but their talents are not as good as Cheng Jiao'e's!

The birthday banquet of Mrs. Chengfu was quite influential in Yuetuo City. Since the Cheng family had a small status in Yuetuo City, even if the head of the big family didn't come, a group of juniors came to see the world.

Chengfu is located to the west of Yuetuo City. The people here are all big and famous families in the city. There is also an endless stream of carriages today. Carriages and sedan chairs are parked at the entrance of Chengfu. The young master and the noble lady in gold and jade got down from the sedan chair and walked into Cheng Mansion.

The servants of the Cheng Mansion stood at the door. The congratulatory gifts brought by the representatives of the big family would be registered here. Except for the direct children of the Cheng Mansion who wanted to present gifts directly in front of everyone to celebrate their birthdays, other people's gifts would be registered here.

As soon as Yang Chen and his aunt's family walked into the Cheng Mansion, a maid walked out of the door and saluted the aunt and said respectfully: "Second young lady, come with me. I will take you to see the old lady."

There were many women at the banquet today, and there were differences between men and women. At this time, the women were all arranged on the pavilion on the second floor. This was a double-story balcony, with the women on the upper floor and the younger men on the lower floor. Mr. Cheng and a group of people The old brothers and sons-in-law drank directly in the front hall.

Facing a large stage, the troupe there has already set up the gongs and drums to create a lively atmosphere.

When we got here, Yang Chen couldn't follow the aunt, so he had to follow Yang Feng and sit in the corner of the first floor, and they were almost outside the hall.

They arrived neither early nor late, and more than half of the people came to the hall. Everyone was looking for friends they hadn't seen for a long time. Everyone was having a great time talking!

Soon after, some slaves shouted that the birthday banquet had begun. The slaves served dishes one after another, and performances began on the stage below. More than a dozen slim dancers sang and danced on the stage, with sleeves flying, and everyone drank and drank. , the atmosphere is lively and harmonious.

The dancers wore very sparse clothes and danced gracefully. Although Yang Chen had eyes to appreciate the beautiful scenery, what was his mood now? After all, he was in the body of a six-year-old child at this time.

Lobby on the second floor.

In this hall, there are all the female relatives related to the city. At this time, everyone is watching the sons and daughters of married families introducing their gifts to everyone, and everyone is making the old birthday girl happy.

A noble lady asked her maid to bring a pair of bottles with blue bird patterns from behind. The exquisite patterns on them were lifelike, and the giant birds seemed to be flying.

"Mom, this is the vase that my child customized for you in Tiandou City. The vase that my child ordered is from your favorite Taigao production master. It took a long time for my child to make an appointment."

Cheng Jiao'e showed off her gift proudly, just letting everyone know who is the most filial!

A maid presented the old lady's eldest daughter's congratulatory gift. The old lady took a closer look and saw the giant blue bird that symbolized the martial spirit of the family, as well as the everlasting pine.It was his birthday party and he said happily: "Okay, okay, okay. What a beautiful bottle, you are so thoughtful."

At this time, Cheng Jiaojiao and Yang Qian came forward, holding something in both hands, and said, "My daughter (granddaughter) wishes you a happy birthday!"

"Grandma, this is the cartilage of the hind legs of the 80-year-old soul beast. It has the effect of strengthening the body!" Yang Qian did not have much explanation. After all, there were not many people here who knew the effects of such items as crocodile glue, only a few people.Even Cheng Jiao'e doesn't know what this thing is, but her children must have eaten it!

Cheng Jiao'e originally wanted to ridicule her second sister's shabby gift, but when she saw her mother taking the box from the maid's hand with a happy face, she looked at it with satisfaction and put the box beside her.It was as if I had seen something precious.

When I saw this, I gave up.

"Okay, okay, I haven't seen this good thing in some years. I didn't expect that I can eat it this year!" The old lady is also a master of telling lies with her eyes open, leaving all the female relatives in the hall confused.After all, the crocodile glue is similar to the leg cartilage of ordinary soul beasts, so no one can tell the difference without looking carefully.

Cheng Jiaojiao and Yang Qian retreated, and the old lady's third daughter, Cheng Jiaoyan, took her two children to pay her birthday to the old lady.

Cheng Jiaoyan's eldest daughter Jiang Yunyun is the same age as Yang Qian. She is currently in the sixth grade of Yuetuocheng Junior Soul Master Academy. Her martial soul is a blue bird and her soul power is unknown.

The second daughter, Jiang Shanshan, was born mute and was a few months younger than Yang Feng. She was very beautiful for her young age.

It's just that the gifts brought by the old lady's third daughter Cheng Jiaoyan were not outstanding and a bit shabby, which immediately aroused Cheng Jiao'e's ridicule!

It turns out that although Cheng Jiaoyan has no soul power, she is married to Jiang Yuan, a soul master.Cheng Jiaoyan was already engaged but still wanted to marry Jiang Yuan, which led to an unharmonious relationship with her natal family.

Later, Jiang Yuan was seriously injured by a soul beast when he obtained the third soul ring. When he was rescued, he only had half a life left. Later, all the Jiang family's savings were spent on medical treatment, but in the end Jiang Yuan passed away.Because of this, the Jiang family owed a large amount of debt.

After all, Mrs. Cheng still felt sorry for her little daughter and helped the Jiang family guarantee the repayment of most of their debts.The days are gradually getting better, and it is said that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family has also become a first-ring soul master.

Although life is gradually getting better, there are still no expensive gifts.

Cheng Jiao'ejian saw this opportunity to mock her third sister, but Cheng Jiaoyan, who had gone through many hardships, naturally ignored her.

But his second daughter jumped out and glared at Cheng Jiao'e, and the eldest daughter quickly grabbed her sister.

"Hey, little mute, you are so courageous. Have you ever put your elders in your eyes? How dare you stare at me!"

Cheng Jiao'e was startled by the little mute's eyes, came back to her senses and mocked him fiercely.

"If you can't speak, just seal your mouth. Then you'll jump up and down at my birthday party, shouting if you look like an elder!"

Originally, Cheng Jiaoyan didn't intend to argue with her eldest sister, but she shouldn't say that her little daughter was mute.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

Cheng Jiao'e's words deeply hurt Cheng Jiaoyan. Just when he was planning to ridicule his eldest sister's past scandals of being unruly, Cheng Jiaoyan was scolded by her mother, which just happened to give her the bad breath.
