Chapter 75: A female mate chooses to farm (24)
The old carpenter is very motivated.
It took nearly a month to make a waterwheel according to the princess's drawings. The princess rewarded him with twenty taels of silver. After taking it back to his hometown, the eldest grandson successfully found a daughter-in-law.
The princess also said that every county in the Southern Barbarians was gradually installing waterwheels, giving him free time to start work. Since these are not jobs in the mansion, he will be paid separately.
The same goes for today's candy molds. Once a batch is completed, you will be rewarded with silver. This makes the old carpenter feel like he is ushering in a second spring, and he is full of joy.
He learned carpentry when he was young, but it was only now that he realized the benefits of knowing a craft.
I was so excited that I found a few pieces of wood that day and took my little boy to chip away at the wood to make a mold.
After the first batch of brown sugar bricks cooled, they were removed from the mold and turned out to be a round piece with auspicious characters such as fortune, longevity and longevity or beautiful floral patterns printed on the surface.
Unknowingly, I thought it was a pastry.
Xu Yin was in a good mood, so she put it on a plate and took it to the study room in the front yard, hoping to find someone to share her joy.
Yan Kejin didn't go out today. Since his father asked him to recommend the governors of Baiyue and Minyue counties, he was not polite.
I took some time off from my busy schedule to draft a memorial and asked for two right-hand assistants to come over. If nothing else, they will be able to take office next month.
Seeing the princess come in with a plate, she thought she was here to give him snacks.
Its such a hot day, just ask the maid to run around, why do you have to do it yourself.
He stood up, took the plate, put it on the table, led her to sit down on the couch, and opened the folding fan to fan her.
"It's just a few steps, why is it so hard?" Xu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't you want to try it? I made it."
Yan Kejin raised an eyebrow.
He is not a fan of sweets, but since it was made by the princess herself, he is still willing to give it a try.

"This is"
Xu Yin laughed when she saw his expression when he took a bite of brown sugar.
"This is sugar. I boiled the sugar cane sent from Chenjiazhuang into syrup and made brown sugar cubes. How about it? It tastes good, right? It took about two hundred kilograms of sugar cane to boil thirty or so pieces of sugar of this size."
Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows. Her princess had been silent for the past two days. Did she come up with something good again?
Have you found sugar cane?
"Found it. It's my fault too. The sugar cane they saw in the miscellaneous books was a bit different from the actual one. They were misled by me. They knew the sugar cane was right in front of them, but they missed it for a while."
Xu Yin described the skin and height of the wild sugarcane discovered in Chenjiazhuang in detail, and finally said:
It can be seen that the skin of sugarcane may be different in different areas, including green skin and purple skin, and the height may not always be one or two meters or three to five meters.
Yan Kejin took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one, then called Yan Qi to come in and ask him to implement them. Then he stood up and took a brocade box from the desk.
"For me?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile, "What is it this time?"
I have received pearls and jade from him several times before, and more than once I heard the maid who kept the jewelry complain bitterly and sweetly: The jewelry box newly made by the old carpenter was almost full.
Open it and take a look. Does it suit your liking?
Yan Kejin thrust the brocade box into her hand and sat down next to her.
She felt hot, so he kept fanning her, but would not move away.
Xu Yin opened the brocade box and saw the contents clearly. She couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes: "Is this...a koi carved from jade?"
Yan Kejin laughed: "It is not artificially carved, it is a natural jade that was found from outside the customs. It is a golden lotus with blood and gallbladder."
Hypergalla nasturtium? Isn't that the most expensive stone that will be hailed by later generations? It seems to also contain the meaning of good fortune, peace, prosperity, and prosperity for the family and the country.
This is too expensive.
Well, so I gave it to the princess.
Xu Yin met his smiling gaze and her heart trembled.
She stayed in his study for half an hour...
If a guard hadn't come in to report, he would have almost lost his self-control.
Xu Yin's cheeks were flushed and she hugged the brocade box and hurried back to the main courtyard. Looking at her back, she seemed to be running away.
Yan Kejin listened to the guard's reply, but his eyes were locked on the pretty figure through the carved wooden window, with a joyful smile flashing in his eyes.
Xu Yin returned to the main courtyard and patted her hot cheeks to calm down.
Is the princess exposed to the sun? Grandma asked someone to bring a basin of water over. Xu Yin calmed down after washing her face with cold water.
She personally collected the Golden Lotus and did not let the maid take it to the warehouse.
The peace and prosperity of the family and the country will definitely be achieved in our lifetime!
Hold your claws!
There is a lot of sugar cane, and she wants to try white sugar.
I wonder if the vivid koi carp on the "Golden Lotus" can bring good luck to people. I was thinking about how to make white sugar, and I was super lucky to buy a limited-time free book in the system mall. White sugar sugar making skill book.
After reading this, I feel that it is not difficult to make white sugar. It just needs to take off the color of brown sugar.
There are two decolorization methods written in the skill book: yellow mud water leaching method and activated carbon decolorization.
To save costs, small workshops generally use the yellow mud water leaching method to decolorize. Regular sugar factories often choose activated carbon for decolorization.
Xu Yin felt that either we should not do it, or if we wanted to do it, we should do it in a formal way.
Yellow mud water makes me feel dirty just thinking about it. Even though the sugar water needs to be evaporated at high temperature to turn into white sugar, it still feels a bit jarring.
At any rate, the system mall has methods for making activated carbon, and the steps for burning coconut shells with activated carbon are quite simple.
Coconut shell is not a scarce material in the south and can be reused. The high-temperature steam method can remove the adsorbed impurities and restore its original activity.
Xu Yin decisively spent 500 energy points to get the formula for making coconut shell activated carbon.
As soon as the boy sent by the housekeeper to collect coconut shells came back, he started making activated charcoal.
A kiln is required to burn charcoal, which is not suitable in the mansion.
It just so happened that the sugar cane heads were about to be planted in the experimental fields, so Xu Yin had someone pull a cart of coconut shells to the farm.
There is a hilltop behind Zhuangzi. Lychees are planted on the hilltop, which also belongs to the palace.
After discussing with Uncle Wang, Xu Yin chose a leeward location near the river bank at the foot of the mountain and built a kiln.
For this reason, she stayed in the village for two days.
Yan Kejin didn't see her when she returned home. When she asked, she went to live in Zhuangzi. That night she came to Zhuangzi with a dark face.
Why is the prince here? Xu Yin was surprised when she saw him.
Yan Kejin glanced at her, snorted, and unbuttoned her buttons.
Xu Yin received the look from Aunt Feng and realized belatedly that she had made him angry by not returning to the palace for two days.
After leaving the servants, she stepped forward to unbutton his clothes and helped him put on a comfortable nightgown. She asked the maid to bring a basin of water in, and she personally twisted a handkerchief to clean his face.
"It's my fault. I didn't tell you beforehand. Don't be angry."
Her soft-spoken apology instantly quelled the fire in his belly.
But his face was still cold. If he let her know that he had calmed down so quickly, wouldn't he have to slap his nose on his face in the future?
"snort!"
Xu Yin:
In fact, I can see that he has calmed down.
After two people get to know each other, they are familiar with each other's little actions and tempers, and they can generally tell them apart.
I know that he is just awkward, like a child losing his temper and needs to be coaxed.
Okay, dont be angry. Have you finished your dinner?
This question, yes! It stirred up people's fire again.
He returned home hungry and wanted to have a meal with her, but it was better for her to just eat and sleep in the village.
"Do you have a heart?" He pulled her into his arms, obviously gritting his teeth and wanting to bite her, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Yin raised her head, held his face with both hands, and coaxed, "Can I go and make you a bowl of sour soup noodles? The sour soup at Uncle Wang's house tastes very good. I bet you will still want to eat it after eating it once..."
I dont want to. He took off her clothes.
Wait, Arent you hungry?
Yeah. But he can bear it.
