Chapter 49 Sugar Making from Chinese Cabbage

That afternoon, their father came to Yun Huanxi, negotiated the purchase price and time period, and signed the deed.

In order to ensure that the two of them could earn the price difference, Yun Huanxi promised that his manor would only buy the Chinese cabbage sent by the two of them.

However, she also suggested to the two of them how much the purchase price should be, which could fluctuate up or down, but there was a limit, and it could not exceed the limit given by Yun Huanxi.

Otherwise, even if the two of them break the contract, she will send someone to purchase it personally.

The purpose of this is to prevent the two people from hoarding goods, raising prices arbitrarily, and affecting the normal sugar production in their own manors.

Lively days always fly by, and the festive Spring Festival passes quickly.

After celebrating the New Year, people begin to work in the fields. The weeds in the wheat fields need to be hoeed, and the Chinese cabbage can also be harvested.

Because Chinese cabbage is cold-resistant, it is the most commonly grown vegetable in the field.

After the long-term worker of Yunwu Manor was rescued from the bandits' den, Chinese cabbage was grown in the open space of the manor.

Almost every household grows Chinese cabbage, so the least valuable thing now is Chinese cabbage.

Chinese cabbage, also known as beet in some modern places, is a plant used for sugar production.

The reason Yun Huanxi knew this was because she had a classmate whose family made sugar.

Moreover, some families use local methods to boil sugar and dip it into pancakes, which is very delicious.

Therefore, Yun Huanxi knew how to boil sugar with Chinese cabbage.

First, remove the leaves and tops of the Chinese cabbage, wash and cut into strips.

Then pour the cabbage strips into a large iron pot and add water to cook. When the beets in the pot are all broken, take out the broken vegetable residue and wrap it with a large piece of gauze.

Then tie the mouth of the gauze and squeeze it hard. The juice containing syrup will flow out from the gauze and put into the iron pot.

The "water" left in the pot is the original juice for making syrup.

At this time, add an appropriate amount of lime to remove some floating matter and impurities in the original juice, and also neutralize some of the acidity in the sugar juice.

Add fire to the slurry water in the pot and wait until the slurry water in the pot boils.

During the cooking process, use a spoon to stir continuously in the pot.

As the water in the pot continues to evaporate, the syrup water in the pot gradually thickens and the color gradually deepens, until the syrup water turns into a mucus-like dark brown.

The last step is drying. After the water evaporates, white sugar is obtained.

Yun Huanxi went to the town to buy ten large iron pots, and used one of the empty warehouses to bury the stove, rack, and pot for refining sugar.

She also built a drying room, boiled the Chinese cabbage into syrup, moved it into the drying room to evaporate the water, and then refined and condensed it into white sugar.

Although the white sugar made by this indigenous method is not as white as snow as modern ones, it is still much prettier than the white sugar sold outside.

After Taohua Dad and Xinghua Dad sold their own Chinese cabbage to Yun Huanxi, they began to purchase Chinese cabbage from outside and resold it to Yun Huanxi.

Later, someone wanted to sell it at a better price and came to the manor to sell it in person, but was rejected by the custodian.

The reason is that the Chinese cabbage in Yun's Manor is collected by Taohua Daddy and Xinghua Daddy.

Dad Taohua and Dad Xinghua were even more grateful to Yun Huanxi for giving them money, and they were more serious about the purchase, not accepting any cabbage that had not been cut cleanly.

This also reduces the need for re-screening on Yun Huanxi's side, and eliminates the need to re-cut the selected cabbage heads if they are not cleanly cut.

This season is when farmers harvest Chinese cabbage. In the past, people used it to make pickles, but now it can be sold for money, and everyone wants to make money.

This also caused the cabbage purchased by Yun's Manor to be piled up in Shaiguping, and it seems that the number is increasing.

Because people in more and more distant places know about the Yun Manor's purchase of Chinese cabbage, and in order to make money from it, they have to transport it all the way here.

Nowadays, on the rural dirt road outside Yunjia Village, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and tricycles come in an endless stream every day.

The car was piled with Chinese cabbage. The Osmanthus and Xinghua families no longer had to go out to buy it. Instead, they bought it directly at the door of Yun's Manor.

The two families didn't have enough manpower, so they asked relatives to help, and of course they were paid.

The main thing is to check whether the cabbage heads are in good condition and whether they have been cleaned.

The weighing will be done directly by someone appointed by Yun's Manor. Yun's Manor will pay directly, and the difference will be reimbursed to the Osmanthus and Xinghua families three days later.

Yun Huanxi bought more than a dozen large iron pots to boil the syrup. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to make modern sugar-making tools, so she could only boil it in large iron pots using local methods.

All the long-term workers from the two manors have come to Yun's Manor to make sugar. Anyway, there is no time to mature anything now.

She'd better make more sugar and run away when the war breaks out.

If she didn't need a way out and didn't know which direction the war started, she would have wanted to leave now.

Anyway, Xiao Huanyan said she ended up in the Northland, which means it should be no problem to go to the Northland.

It's a pity that the road is difficult to navigate.

Another reason is that I went to another place and it was hard to support myself.

She just wanted the entire Yunjia Village to leave together. The Yunjia Villagers would not leave until there was no chaos outside.

She was also conflicted, whether to wait or not.

In this conflict, she once persuaded her mother to go north first, using the excuse that she wanted to play, but was scolded by her mother.

It's over, you can't escape alone, you can only wait for something to happen before escaping.

The only way is to do enough preparations.

Yun Huanxi watched the long-term workers boiling sugar in full swing, the guards training in full swing, and everyone practicing running enthusiastically in their free time.

I thought to myself that these people were the talismans for my mother and daughter when they were on their way to escape.

Yun Huanxi announced the manor competition notice. After the sugar production, there will be a 3000-meter running competition and a fighting competition.

Contestants are regardless of gender. People from Yunjia Village and Manor can participate, and the rewards are generous.

All running participants who can persist in running the entire distance will receive a participation award.

The first prize is 25 taels of silver.

The second prize is 20 taels of silver.

The third prize is 15 taels and white taels.

The fourth prize is 10 taels of silver.

The sixth prize is 5 taels of silver.

The seventh prize is 4 taels of silver.

The eighth prize is 3 taels of silver.

The ninth prize is 2 taels of silver.

Tenth prize: 1 tael of silver

5 articles will be awarded for participation.

……

The people of Yun's Manor and Yun's Village were all involved in running training.

Even children around 10 years old run laps on the dirt roads in the village every day.

Don’t compete for first place, compete for a participation award.

At the same time, the news that the landlords in Yunjia Village purchased Chinese cabbage for sugar production spread outwards as the Chinese cabbage purchase expanded.

The Chinese cabbage from Yuxi Town was brought to Yunjia Manor from all directions, and he was well-informed and purchased the local Chinese cabbage at a low price.

Then it was shipped and sold to Yun's Manor, and they earned the difference.

More people in Yuxi Town tasted the sweetness of earning the price difference and began to go to other towns to buy Chinese cabbage and sell it to Yun's Manor.

Yun Huanxi's sugar production was short of manpower, so he began to recruit people from the village to help.

The custodian began to sell the prepared sugar to outsiders, and selling it was surprisingly easy.

The reason is that the sugar they make is white and sweet enough.

Yun Huanxi has tasted the white sugar here, which is yellow in color and sweet yet sour.

She thought that sugar was probably made here, and lime was not added to the original juice to remove impurities and sourness.

Therefore, when it came to adding lime, she did it herself without going through anyone.

Besides, the lime she used was purchased in modern times in her space, and no one knew about this process.

In this busy time of sugar production, it was late March.

At this time, the peach blossoms in Yunjia Village are in full bloom, and the wedding day of the peach blossoms has arrived.
