God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Li Heng poured the cut violet fruits into the pot and added an appropriate amount of water.

Cover the pot and simmer over low heat until soft.

Then take out the stewed violet fruit silk and let it cool, wrap it tightly with gauze, and squeeze out the mixed solution of water and sugar through constant squeezing.

"Brother Li Heng, can we really make candy if we do this?"

Lu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Chi had a lot of fun, but they didn't think much of Li Heng and felt that they would not succeed.

"It should be possible, after all, I haven't tried it before."

Li Heng was not sure. In his last life, he did a sugar water crystallization experiment in chemistry class.

It is an operation of first dissolving white sugar in water to obtain sugar water, and then through some operations to obtain white sugar again from the sugar water.

After all, it happened more than ten years ago, and Li Heng could only remember some general information.

The pressed residue was ruthlessly thrown away by Li Heng, and the remaining violet juice was poured back into the pot by him.

First bring the juice to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.

The water in the pot continued to evaporate with the high temperature, and the juice was finally boiled into a light yellow, somewhat viscous syrup.

It looks a bit like honey syrup.

"Gudu! Gudu!"

Two sounds of swallowing came from the side. It was obvious that the rich fragrance aroused the greed in the two little stomachs.

Li Heng looked up and saw two little ones, staring straight at the syrup in the pot.

The five-spice steamed pork before had not fed the two little ones, but now it was better, and they were allowed to smell something so fragrant, how could they still move around.

"Brother Li Heng..."

"Okay, I know what you two want to say."

There is a saying that after being together for a long time, as soon as the two little ones stick their butts out, he will know that the other person is going to...

Forget it, in this situation, this description is somewhat inappropriate.

Li Heng shook his head, putting this strange idea behind him, and reached out and took out two small bowls.

I filled half a bowl of syrup for each of the two little ones.

"Brother Li Heng, don't be so stingy, give it to us!"

"Yeah, yeah, full on, full on!"

The two little ones held their fists and said to Li Heng with hope.

"This small half bowl of syrup is equivalent to several violet fruits. Why are you two planning to eat it?"

Li Heng decisively rejected their request. Eating too much sugar is not a good thing for the body.

"Also, don't eat syrup like this. You can try dipping it with steamed buns."

Worried that the two little ones would kill him, Li Heng specially handed them two steamed buns.

When it comes to food-related suggestions, the two little ones always give Li Heng a lot of advice.

The two broke open the steamed buns and tried it as Li Heng said. They found that it was really delicious, so they simply sat down aside.

While nibbling sweet steamed buns, he watched Li Heng work.

Li Heng boiled the syrup and poured it into the jar prepared in advance, then added boiling water to the jar and stirred continuously.

He did not stop until all the syrup was dissolved in the water, so that he had a tank of saturated sugar-water solution.

The reason why boiling water is added is because the higher the water temperature, the higher the solubility of sugar.

In other words, this can use less water and dissolve more sugar, making it easier to obtain more sugar in subsequent steps.

The last step left is to crystallize the sugar from the sugar water.

Li Heng chopped a wooden stick, removed the skin, and polished the surface clean.

After sticking a layer of white sugar on one end of the wooden stick, insert it vertically into the sugar water, and fix it with two wooden sticks across the mouth of the tank.

The white sugar attached to the wooden stick will act as a seed crystal, accelerating the crystallization of the white sugar in the sugar water.

But looking at the jar of light yellow sugar water, Li Heng also murmured in his heart.

"Forget it, let's see the results first!"

Li Heng put his hands behind his back and thought that it wouldn't matter even if he didn't succeed. It was just a boring work of his and no one would blame him.

If the two children dared to use this to mock him, Li Heng would punish them and deprive them of food for a day.

"Strange, why did you feel flustered for no reason just now?"

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was busy cooking, seemed to feel something in his heart, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

It felt like I was being targeted by something unclean.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

......

The next day, just after breakfast, Li Heng couldn't wait to go to the place where the sugar water was served, and the two little ones followed him in a tacit understanding.

I want to witness whether their brother Li Heng is still as magical as ever.

"Whoo~"

Li Heng took out the stick from the vat with great anxiety, only to see that the stick was still bare.

Nothing was left except the slowly dripping water drops.

"Xiaoxiao, you have such a crow's mouth, you got it right!"

Li Heng, who was a little depressed, glared at Lu Xiaoxiao. He was definitely disappointed, but he would not give up so easily.

As long as you experiment a few more times, I believe you can always find out why the sugar water cannot crystallize.

"It's my fault!"

Lu Xiaoxiao was innocent, after all, she had done nothing wrong.

"It shouldn't be. The liquid in this vat is indeed sugar water. Why can't sugar condense?"

Li Heng was a little reluctant and tasted a little of the sugar water in the tank. It was very sweet and the sugar concentration was not low.

"Is it because there are too many impurities in it?"

Looking at the somewhat turbid sugar water in the tank, Li Heng said to himself.

With this conjecture, he decisively decided to make the next attempt immediately.

First filter out the impurities in the sugar water, and then try to crystallize it to see the effect.

"So, what can filter impurities from water?"

Li Heng immediately thought of activated carbon, and then shook his head.

Because he doesn't know how to make activated carbon, nor does he have the conditions to do so.

However, ordinary charcoal can also have a filtering effect if broken into pieces, so use charcoal instead.

"Come on, follow me to chop bamboo!"

Putting down the stick in his hand, Li Heng hurriedly ran towards the bamboo forest next to him and said to the two little ones behind him.

"Brother Li Heng, what's going on? Why do you think it's happening all the time!"

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Equator. Aren't they going to make sugar? Why did they suddenly want to chop bamboo?

Xiao Chi shook her head blankly, how could her little brain understand Li Heng's thoughts.

"Forget it, let's follow him first and take a look."

Lu Xiaoxiao no longer struggled with why Li Heng did this, but followed him curiously.

The two little ones had only reached halfway, and Li Heng, who was in a hurry, was already rushing back carrying several bamboos.

"Strange? Brother Li Heng, why don't you put the bamboo into the ring?"

The three of them met each other. Lu Xiaoxiao saw that Li Heng was carrying bamboo and had some difficulty in moving, so he asked.

"Yeah! I'm so busy."

Li Heng dropped the bamboo and slapped his forehead.

Only then did he remember that he was on the Xuanwu Continent now, and he had forgotten such a convenient thing as Najie.
