The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 75 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (24)

  The old carpenter is very motivated.

   It took nearly a month before to make the waterwheel according to the drawings of the princess. The princess rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.

  The concubine also said that all the counties and counties in Nanman will install water trucks one after another, so that he can do it when he has time. Because these are not jobs in the mansion, he will be paid separately.

  The same is true for the candy molds today. Once a batch is completed, there will be a silver reward. This makes the old carpenter feel like a second spring, and he is full of joy.

  He learned carpentry when he was young, but he didn't realize the benefits of knowing a craft until now.

  When I got excited, I searched for a few pieces of wood that day, and led the little boy to chip the wood to make a model.

  After the first batch of brown sugar bricks cooled, they were removed from the mold. They were a round piece with auspicious characters such as Fu Lu Shou or beautiful flower patterns printed on the surface.

  Those who didn’t know it thought it was a pastry.

  Xu Yin was in a good mood, put it on a plate, and brought it to the study in the front yard, hoping to find someone to share her joy with.

  Yan Kejin didn't go out today, and since his father asked him to recommend the sheriffs of Baiyue and Minyue counties, he would not be polite.

  Drafted a memorial in his busy schedule, and asked for two right-hand assistants to come over. Without accident, he will be able to take office next month.

   Seeing the concubine coming in with a plate, she thought she was here to bring him some snacks.

   "It's such a hot day, just let the servant girl run around, why do you have to do it yourself."

  He got up and took the plate, put it on the table casually, led her to sit down on the couch, and opened the folding fan to fan her.

   "It's just a few steps, what's the hard work." Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't you want to try it? I did it."

  Yan Kejin raised an eyebrow.

  He doesn't like sweets, but since the concubine made it herself, he is willing to try it as a way of saving face.

result…

"This is…"

  Xu Yin laughed when she saw his expression when he took a bite of the brown sugar.

   "This is sugar. The sugarcane sent by Chenjiazhuang, I boiled the brown sugar cubes into syrup, how about it? The taste is not bad, right? Two hundred catties of sugarcane can be boiled to produce about 30 pieces of sugar of this size."

  Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows, her princess has been silent for the past two days, and she figured out something good again?

   "Have you found the sugar cane?"

   "I found it. I'm also to blame. The sugar cane I saw in the miscellaneous books before is a bit different from the actual one. They were misled by me. They obviously missed the sugar cane for a while."

  Xu Yin described the skin and height of the wild sugarcane found in Chenjiazhuang in detail, and finally said:

   "It can be seen that the skin of sugarcane may be different in different regions. There are green skins and purple skins. The height may not necessarily be one or two meters or three to five meters."

  Yan Kejin took a pen and paper to write down one by one, and then called Yan Qi to come in and let him implement it. Then he got up and took a brocade box from the table.

   "For me?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile, "What is it this time?"

  Before I received the pearls and jade he gave me several times, I heard more than one time that the maid who kept the jewelry complained bitterly and sweetly: The new jewelry boxes made by the old carpenter are almost out of piles.

   "Open it and have a look, does it suit you?"

  Yan Kejin stuffed the brocade box into her hand and sat down next to her.

  She was too hot, so he kept fanning her, but he refused to move away a little.

  Xu Yin opened the brocade box, saw what was inside, and couldn't help but widen her almond eyes: "This is... a koi carved from jade?"

  Yan Kejin laughed: "It's not artificially carved, it's a natural gem found outside the pass, the Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus."

   Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus? Isn't that the most expensive strange stone hailed by later generations? It seems that it also contains the meaning of auspiciousness, peace and prosperity of the family and country.

   "This is too expensive."

   "Well, so give it to the princess."

  Xu Yin met his smiling gaze, her heart trembled.

  She stayed in his study for half an hour...

  If it wasn't for a guard coming in to report, he would have almost lost his self-control.

  Xu Yin hugged the brocade box with flushed cheeks and hurried back to the main courtyard, looking at her back, she fled in a bit of a panic.

  Yan Kejin listened to the guard's report, but her eyes locked on the delicate figure through the carved wooden window, and a pleasant smile flashed in her eyes.

  Xu Yin returned to the main courtyard, patted her hot cheeks to calm herself down.

   "Is the princess exposed to the sun?" Mammy asked someone to fetch a basin of water.

   After washing her face with cold water, Xu Yin calmed down.

   She kept the Blood Gallbladder Golden Lotus herself, and didn't let the maid take it to the warehouse.

  The country is safe and prosperous, and it will definitely come true in my lifetime!

  Grip the claws!

  There are a lot of sugar cane, she wants to try white sugar.

I don’t know if the lively koi on the "Blood Gall Golden Lotus" can bring good luck to people. I was thinking about how to make white sugar, so I was super lucky to find a free time-limited book in the system mall. White sugar sugar making skill book.

   After reading it, I feel that it is not difficult to make white sugar, just to take off the color of brown sugar.

  There are two kinds of decolorization methods written in the skill book: yellow mud water leaching method and activated carbon decolorization.

  Small workshops generally use the yellow mud water spraying method to decolorize in order to save costs. Regular sugar factories often choose activated carbon for decolorization.

  Xu Yin thinks that she should either not engage in it, or establish a formal one if she wants to.

  Yellow mud water feels dirty just thinking about it. Although the sugar water needs to be evaporated at high temperature to become white sugar after being drenched, it is still a bit annoying.

  Anyway, there is a method of making activated carbon in the system mall, and the steps of burning activated carbon from coconut shells are quite simple.

  Coconut shell is not a scarce material in the south, and it can be reused. Using high-temperature steam method can remove the impurities it adsorbs and restore its original activity.

  Xu Yin spent 500 energy points resolutely to add the coconut shell activated carbon recipe.

  As soon as the boy sent by the housekeeper to collect coconut shells came back, he started making activated carbon.

  You need a kiln to burn charcoal, which is not suitable for the house.

   Just in time, the sugarcane heads were going to be planted in the experimental fields, so Xu Yin asked someone to pull a carriage of coconut shells to the farm.

  There is a small hill behind Zhuangzi, on which there are lychees, which also belong to the Wangfu.

  After discussing with Uncle Wang, Xu Yin chose a leeward place at the foot of the mountain near the river bank, and ordered someone to build a kiln.

   For this reason, she stayed in the village for two days.

  Yan Kejin didn't see her when she returned home, and when she asked, she ran to live in Zhuangzi, and rushed to Zhuangzi with a dark face that night.

   "Why is the prince here?" Xu Yin was surprised when she saw him.

  Yan Kejin glanced at her, snorted, and untied the button on her own.

  Xu Yin received the wink from Nanny Feng, and only belatedly realized that she had made him angry by not returning to the palace for two days.

  Ping retreated the servants, she stepped forward to unbutton him, waited for him to change into a comfortable nightgown, asked the servant girl to bring in a basin of clean water, and twisted the handkerchief to clean his face herself.

   "It's my fault. I didn't tell you beforehand. Don't be angry."

  Her soft-spoken apology instantly silenced the anger in his stomach.

  But her face was still cold, and she let her know that she had calmed down so quickly, wouldn't she want to push her nose on her face in the future?

"snort!"

  Xu Yin: "..."

   In fact, I can see that he has calmed down.

  After the two get acquainted, they know each other's small movements and tempers well, and they can roughly tell them apart.

  Know that he is just awkward, throwing a tantrum like a child and needs to be coaxed.

   "Okay, don't be angry, have you used your dinner yet?"

  This question, yes! It stoked the fire of man again.

  He returned home hungry and wanted to have dinner with her, but she was better off, just eat and sleep in the village.

   "Do you have a heart?" He fished her into his arms, obviously gnashing his teeth and wanting to bite her, and finally turned into a sigh.

   "Yes, yes." Xu Yin raised her head, held his face in both hands, and coaxed, "I'll make you a bowl of sour soup noodles, okay? Uncle Wang's sour soup tastes very good. I'll keep you wanting to eat it once..."

   "I don't want to." He took off her clothes.

  “…” Wait, “Aren’t you hungry?”

   "Yeah." But he can bear it.

   "..."
