A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Shen Bohu sent someone to deliver several bundles of sugar cane to Chen Changsheng. Although it was not the harvest season for sugar cane yet, these sugar canes were still enough for the sugar making experiment.

Sugarcane cannot be stored for a long time, as it will easily lose a lot of water.

Chen Changsheng asked his two sons to wash and peel the sugar cane, and then cut it into two knuckle-length pieces.

Taking advantage of this free time, she bought two grating tools from the bracelet mall. When she was a teacher at New Oriental Cooking School in her previous life, she often used these tools to grate potatoes and carrots.

"Mom, the sugar cane has been taken care of." Chen Dafu shouted, "What should we do next?"

The two brothers cut a basket full of sugar cane segments.

"You two, rub all these sugar cane segments into fine strands. The finer the better." Chen Changsheng picked up the grazing tool and demonstrated how to use it, and then warned, "Go to the house to get gloves and put them on, and rub them carefully. Be careful, don’t hurt your hand.”

Erlu was a little confused, but he still put on his gloves honestly, imitated what his mother had just done, and started to wipe the sugar cane.

He whispered, "Brother, why do you want us to cut sugar cane shreds? I have only seen people cutting radish shreds and wild vegetables shreds, and this is the first time I cut sugar cane shreds.

Did Mom come up with any new dishes? Cold shredded sugar cane? Or stir-fried shredded sugar cane? "

Erlu still doesn't know much about sugar making and has a lot of imagination.

Dafu wiped it diligently and said, "What are you talking about cold shredded sugar cane? Do you think it's cold bean sprouts? These sugar canes were sent by Mr. Shen Bohu and Mr. Shen's family, saying that they asked his mother to make sugar. Sugar, do you know?" It's the most expensive thing in town.

If Mom makes it successfully, she can sell it. We will split the money earned by that time 50-50 with the Shen family. Fifty-five! Erlu, how much money do you get? You can wipe it well. "

Erlu swallowed.

Selling candy for 50/50 would cost a lot of money. He must not hold back.

In an instant, Chen Erlu was wiping the sugar cane shreds frantically as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Chen Changsheng watched the movements of his two sons from a distance.

So shocked...

The children were busy working, and Chen Changsheng was not lazy either. She followed the instructions in the instruction manual and finally assembled the stone roller with great effort.

The rectangular stone base, two stone rollers and two stone columns fit perfectly together. Since the rotating shaft and its components need to be relatively strong, Liu finally decided to use birch, which is a relatively hard material, to make it.

Chen Changsheng glanced at the instruction manual. It said that the wooden horizontal bar was pushed, and the horizontal bar drove the male roller to rotate. The wooden teeth of the two stone rollers were side by side and engaged with each other, thus driving the female roller to rotate.

The gap between the two stone rollers is filled with sugar cane. The sugar cane is squeezed in from one end, and the other end turns into a fine residue and comes out, and the sugar cane juice is squeezed out.

The basic principles are somewhat similar to modern juicers.

After understanding it, Chen Changsheng reached out and tried to push the horizontal bar, but it didn't move at all.

She pushed again with all her strength, but still no response.

What happened?

When did your strength become so weak?

"Dafu Erlu, you two stop what you are doing and come over and push it together."

"okay."

The two brothers responded, took off their gloves, rolled up their sleeves, and pushed the horizontal bar as hard as they could, and the stone roller barely moved a little.

"No, no, this stone roller is too heavy. Even if Erlu and I are together, we can't move it at all." Dafu took a deep breath and said, "If we had to push it, it would cost us half of our lives." .”

Erlu stared at the two stone rollers with a distressed look on his face, "What should we do? The tools we finally made can't be used, so we can only watch. Is it true that we can't squeeze sugar cane? Can't we make sugar?"

This is a major matter related to the 50/50 split!

If the tools don't work, you can't make sugar, you can't sell it, you can't get money.

Chen Changsheng remained silent.

If it were modern times, she could still buy a mechanical sugar cane press from the mall, but it was ancient times now, and even if she had that thing, she wouldn't be able to use it without electricity.

It was not impossible for her to buy solar panels and plug in the machine after the electricity was fully charged. However, when the machine was running, it made a "chugging" sound. By then, it would spread throughout Chenjia Village and even reach Jiangzhou Prefecture, causing nationwide sensation.

Chen Changsheng didn't look anxious and said calmly, "Let it go for now, I'll study it later."

Fortunately, the yard is not small and there is enough space for the stone roller.

Although the stone roller cannot be used, it does not hinder the sugar making experiment, and manual juice extraction is not impossible.

Dafu and the two wiped two baskets full of sugarcane shreds. Chen Changsheng took an empty wooden basin and put a clean filter cloth on it.

She took a handful of shredded sugar cane and put it into the filter cloth, folded it in half and wrapped it. Then she twisted the filter cloth with both hands like twisting a towel, and squeezed the sugar cane juice from the filter cloth into the basin.

Naturally, manpower was no match for the power of the stone roller. Chen Changsheng squeezed it more than ten times before squeezing the handful of sugarcane shreds almost completely, leaving only the dregs.

In order to speed up the progress, she called Sanshou and Sixi to help.

The little brother and sister each pulled one end at a time and tried to cooperate, but they managed to squeeze it out cleanly.

The two older brothers finished wiping their hair and joined in the process of squeezing sugar cane juice.

Several people rushed to finish processing all the sugar cane before dinner, and filled three basins with sugar cane juice.

Because sugarcane juice can easily breed bacteria if stored for a long time, and there is no refrigerator to keep it cold these days. It would be a pity if it went bad.

Chen Changsheng decided to work harder and try to make the candy in one go today.

I had dry rice at noon, and the meal in the evening was relatively simple.

One stir-fried meat with beans, one stir-fried wild vegetables, one cold bean sprouts, a bowl of porridge for each person and the unfinished pancakes at noon.

The whole family sat down to eat, and things were settled in a few moments. After the meal, Sanshou and Sixi were responsible for washing the dishes and clearing the stove.

Dafu didn't take a break and continued chopping firewood in the corner. His mother ordered that a lot of firewood would be needed to make sugar later.

Chen Changsheng went into her room and opened her bracelet to learn how to make candy. After she had memorized everything, she left the room.

When Erlu thought about the 50-50 split, he felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He was full of energy, "Mom, what are you going to do next? Do you want my help?"

Chen Changsheng nodded, "Okay, you put this pot on the stove first, and then go get some firewood to make the fire in the stove more prosperous."

The pot was really big, and she couldn't handle it alone.

Erlu held a pile of firewood and placed it next to the mouth of the stove. He slowly stuffed the firewood in, and the flames in the stove became bigger.

Chen Changsheng used a large wooden ladle to ladle the sugarcane juice into the pot. Three large pots of sugarcane juice were filled to the fullest of the pot, no more, no less.

As the saying goes: "Boiling wine and boiling sugar cannot be called an old profession."

From the outside, the art of boiling sugar seems very simple, but in fact it is not that easy. The key is to work hard on the word "boil".
