Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

As soon as everyone heard that Qiao Ran was going to teach them how to make sweets, everyone became excited and wanted to go back and get ready quickly.

Anyway, Qiao Honglian was only itchy and unable to speak after being poisoned, but she was not in danger of her life.

None of her family members are willing to pay to detoxify her, so why do outsiders like them care?

Seeing that Qiao Ran really didn't want to talk to them anymore, Xiao Huang became anxious.

If his daughter cannot cure the poison and becomes mute, and still itches and scratches all over her body, who will be willing to marry her in the future?

If the Wang family used this as an excuse to break off the engagement, wouldn't their dream of becoming a scholar and a successful mother-in-law be shattered?

She urgently called Qiao Ran and begged her parents-in-law:

"Father, mother, please give me money to let Ran Yatou show Lian'er! Lian'er has already made an engagement with the boy from the Wang family. From now on, she will be a scholar and a scholar. There will definitely be a lot of money in the future. I respect you two elders. If we don’t detoxify now, if the Wang family breaks off the engagement, what will Lian’er do in the future?”

After her reminder, Qiao Dewang also thought of this key point.

Regardless of Huang's reluctance, he forced her to take out all her personal money. He also took out two taels of broken silver, almost all the money in the house, and begged Qiao Ran to detoxify Qiao Honglian.

Qiao Ran didn't want to waste any more time, so she took the money, threw a pack of medicinal materials, and asked them to take it back and make some medicine for Qiao Honglian.

He also explained: "You have been delayed for too long. The toxins have flowed through the internal organs with the blood. It is impossible to completely remove the poison. Divide this medicine into seven times. Boil it and give it to her for seven days. It can remove it." Half of her itching symptoms. As for this indescribable symptom, I still lack an important medicinal ingredient. I can only control her throat and trachea from continuing to swell. Otherwise, she will not be unable to speak, but unable to eat. , I couldn’t even breathe, I just died. You have to go to a big drug store in a big city to find that medicine.”

"What? You can't figure it out? Then you still charge so much money? Give the money back and we won't watch it anymore!"

As soon as Huang heard this, she wanted to take the money back from Qiao Ran's hand.

Qiao Ran dodged, took back the medicine bag she just threw, held it in her hand and asked:

"Are you sure she's not cured? I've told you in advance that if she's not cured, her symptoms will become more and more serious. She won't be able to eat or breathe tonight, and she might die in the middle of the night. I'm trying to save her life. , I just need some medicine to cure my throat, just give me a couple of silver when the time comes."

"you……"

Huang was about to say anything more, but Qiao Dewang grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Okay! Let's do this! It's important to save my granddaughter's life!"

Although Qiao Dewang didn't want to spend so much money on the money-losing granddaughter, but in front of everyone, if he refused to pay the life-saving money and let his granddaughter die of poisoning, then the people in the village would be even more unpopular with his family. Son.

Besides, why doesn't he want to be the grandfather-in-law of a scholar and a scholar?

What are the temporary difficulties now? In the future, when he feels proud and proud, he will definitely laugh at these short-sighted mud-legged people!

So, Qiao Dewang's family took the big bag of medicinal materials and took Qiao Honglian back, who was so itchy that she wanted to cry.

Qiao Ran weighed the few taels of silver in her hand in disgust and gave the money to her grandma.

Then I washed my hands and started teaching my family how to handle sugar cane.

Other people in the village also sent one or two representatives to learn. When they saw how Qiao Ran operated, they quickly ran back to their homes to report the news, and then everyone followed suit.

In this way, the people around Qiao Ran ran away and came back. After learning a step, they hurried back to tell their families, and then hurried back to continue learning.

The whole cave was busy, and every household was very busy. Except for the Wu family who had no shortage of brown sugar, everyone started to squeeze juice and boil brown sugar with the Qiao family!

Qiao Ran first asked everyone to peel off the black skin of the sugar cane, then cut it into small sections, and then chopped or cut it into slices to make it easier to squeeze out the juice.

It's a pity that you can't use a juicer here, otherwise you can just puree it into juice and filter out the residue.

Juice can only be squeezed by hand now.

This method of squeezing juice is left to each family to use their brains, and the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers.

If you have a rolling pin, use a rolling pin to press it; if you have a hammer, use a hammer to hammer it; if you have a knife, use a knife to chop it and squeeze it with gauze...

There is nothing, so I can only go to the creek to find a clean and round stone to smash...

Squeezing the juice is easy. Just set up the pot, pour the squeezed sugarcane juice and filter the residue with gauze into the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.

When the juice is about to boil, stir it from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

After boiling, there will be a layer of foam on the top. Remove these foams and continue to simmer over high heat for a while until large bubbles appear.

After simmering for a while, turn to medium heat and continue to simmer, stirring constantly.

Until the color turns yellow and dense small bubbles still appear, remove some firewood and turn to low heat, then stir and simmer for a while.

Then turn off the heat, or put the pot on the ground next to it, and stir it repeatedly with a spoon. This step is called sanding.

Brown sugar without sand is very hard, just like a stone, and difficult to cut into pieces, so it must be sanded.

Stir for a short while, then pour the boiled syrup into a bowl, wait for it to cool, dig it out and cut it into small pieces, which is the expensive brown sugar sold in the store.

Since everyone's pot is not big, they can only boil the juice squeezed from one or two sugar canes at a time, so it usually needs to be boiled many times.

This is especially true for the Qiao family. Even if they went to the Wu family to borrow an iron pot that they are now very rare, they could cook in two pots at the same time.

Even later, other villagers who had finished cooking took the initiative to help their family cook it, and it took them one noon and one afternoon to finish cooking the bundles of sugar cane until the evening.

During the cooking process, the sweet smell filled the air, and the whole cave was filled with sweet smell.

It has the fragrance of sugar cane juice and the sweet fragrance of sugar that comes out after boiling into syrup.

The children drooled at the sweet smell, and the adults were not stingy, cutting a small piece of peeled sugar cane for them to nibble on.

The adults couldn't help but pick up the peeled skin and the chopped piece of hard sugarcane root and nibble on it. The slight sweetness made them particularly satisfied.

There are filial younger generations who will serve a small bowl of squeezed sugar cane juice to the elders in the family who are too old to chew sugar cane.

"Sweet! So sweet!"

The old people opened their mouths with few teeth left and laughed. They only took a few sips and then drank it reluctantly. They gave it to their grandchildren or great-grandchildren who were swallowing saliva with their big eyes flashing.

When the children took a sip, their eyes suddenly lit up. They restrained their urge to drink a lot and held it up to their parents, asking them to take a sip too.

This heartwarming scene is touching.
