God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

After returning to the top of Xiaochu Peak, Li Heng specially found an open space.

A simple small earth kiln was built with stones and mud, specially used for burning charcoal.

The next step is to cut the chopped bamboo into small sections, stack them in the earthen kiln, and then start firing them.

The only thing Li Heng needed to pay attention to during this period was the temperature inside the kiln.

Different firing stages have different temperature requirements, which requires him to keep an eye on it.

After taking care of all this, Li Heng simply moved a small bench and sat down.

The two little ones followed him closely, their little heads filled with big question marks.

"Ha~"

"Brother Li Heng, why are we sitting here?"

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Li Heng, couldn't help but yawned. His head felt dizzy, so he leaned to the side and leaned against Li Heng.

We talked about making sugar, but why are we burning bamboo here?

"Wait."

Li Heng's words were concise and to the point.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Chi was on the other side of Li Heng, maintaining the same posture as Lu Xiaoxiao, with his upper and lower eyelids constantly fighting, as if he would fall asleep the next moment.

"Wait until the bamboo turns into bamboo charcoal, then..."

"hu~hu~"

Before Li Heng finished speaking, when he turned around to look, the two little ones had already gone to meet Duke Zhou.

He kept staring at the earthen kiln. In fact, he was a little sleepy, but he couldn't sleep yet. Maybe the bamboo in the kiln would be burned to ashes in the time it took him to take a nap.

During this period, a group of big bosses who had not seen Li Heng for most of the day even made a special trip to express their concern for him.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Heng found that the flames in the kiln had gone out.

As long as they cool down to normal temperature naturally, he can get the bamboo charcoal he desires.

"Has the candy been made?"

At this moment, the two little ones woke up because of Li Heng's actions, rubbed their eyes and asked Li Heng.

"Come on, come on."

Li Heng straightened the two little bodies, stood up and stretched their somewhat stiff bodies before replying.

In order not to disturb the sleep of the two little ones, he always maintained the position where he had just sat down.

After waiting for a while, Li Heng opened the sealed earthen kiln with great expectation.

Sections of black bamboo charcoal appeared in front of the three of them.

Li Heng waved his hand and put all the bamboo charcoal into the Najie. This much bamboo charcoal would definitely not be used up at once, and it might be used for other purposes in the future.

With the charcoal in hand, the next step is to make a simple filter to filter out the residue or impurities in the sugar water.

A funnel, a piece of cotton cloth, a pile of crushed bamboo charcoal and clean sand are combined into a simple filter.

Pour unfiltered sugar water from the top of the funnel and catch it in a clean water jar from the bottom.

After a few breaths, a trickle of water flowed from top to bottom into the tank.

After burning the incense, Li Heng scooped up a scoop of filtered sugar water from the jar and compared it with the unfiltered sugar water.

I found that the sugar water in the tank was indeed much clearer, but it still showed a light yellow color overall.

In order to remove as many impurities as possible, Li Heng filtered the sugar water twice and three times.

Finally, when it got dark, I got a tank of nearly colorless, clear and translucent sugar water.

The final step is the same as before, using a wooden stick covered with sugar foam and standing it upright in the tank.

"That's it for today's sugar making work. It's time for us to go to work."

For this vat of sugar water, Li Heng was lazy and did not go to the kitchen. The important task of cooking dinner for everyone was naturally handed over to the hands of the apprentices.

"Ah! Is this the end?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed. She thought she would see the candy in Li Heng's mouth today.

But her disappointment was quickly diluted by the thought that it was dinner time.

The dinner was sumptuous, and Li Heng, with his two little ones jumping around, could smell the aroma even before he entered the kitchen.

"Uncle Master, you are finally done with your work. Come and try our cooking skills and see if there is any improvement."

Zhou Xing raised his eyes just in time to see Li Heng and the others stepping into the kitchen door. Hearing this, the others also stopped eating and greeted Li Heng.

"Braised tofu with green onions, stir-fried pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork ribs... Well, this combination of meat and vegetables is pretty good!"

Li Heng glanced at the several vegetable pots on the table and nodded with satisfaction. He did feel a little hungry after a busy day.

While Li Heng was busy sighing, the two hungry little ones had already sacrificed their own rice bowls.

They rushed to the rice bucket, filled a basin full of rice, and showed off.

"Oops!"

Li Heng secretly thought that something was wrong, as the two little ones had taken the lead, so he quickly stepped forward and took out a large black iron bowl.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems that my uncle is indeed hungry today!"

"Indeed, my uncle usually eats in normal-sized bowls, but this time he actually used a large black iron bowl."

All the apprentices couldn't help but speed up their hand movements, and the dishes in the basin were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn, slow down and show off!"

Li Heng found that he only had enough time to hold a meal, and a bowl of vegetables was already empty.

He had reason to suspect this group of apprentices, and they teamed up to target him.

Fortunately, everyone didn't do everything right. They still left some basin bottoms for him and didn't let him eat just rice.

After eating and working hard for another day, Li Heng lay down early, just hoping that tonight would pass quickly, because tomorrow would be the time for him to test the results again.

......

On the third day, Li Heng and his two little ones came to the large vat containing sugar water again.

"Brother Li Heng, can you succeed this time?"

Lu Xiaoxiao asked curiously while holding the edge of the tank with both hands.

Li Heng didn't answer. He first stretched out his hand and took out the two little ones with half of their bodies in the tank.

"What's the rush? Let me take a look first and then talk."

Li Heng bent down to check and found that a layer of transparent glass-like solid had condensed on the top of the sugar water.

It's like a thin layer of ice covering the lake surface in winter.

"Boom! Boom!"

I tapped the 'ice surface' with my hand and it made a sound. This was a success!

Li Heng, who was a little excited, hurriedly removed the two wooden sticks that were fixed across the edge of the tank, and pulled out the wooden stick standing in the sugar water.

As he expected, this time the stick far exceeded its weight.

Near the middle of the stick, a 'sugar cap' that was as thick as a finger and the size of the mouth of a jar was firmly attached to the stick and was brought out.

Under the sugar lid is a large lump of crystal clear sugar. If you look closely, even on the inner wall of the water tank, there are a lot of frost-like sugar residues attached to it.

Li Heng freed up a hand, picked out a small piece of candy from the stick, and put it into his mouth.

"So sweet! It kills me!"

The sudden sweetness made Li Heng make an emoticon, and his eyebrows were twisted together.

After two big gulps of saliva, Li Heng suppressed the sweet taste in his mouth. He was in pain and happy at the same time.
