Be a master through ancient times

"Uncle, how big is the sugarcane field? Is the sugarcane taller than me?"

On the carriage, Chu Xiaoyuan asked with longing.

"I'll take you to see it right now? If you want to know, you can compare it later."

Because he didn't get an answer to Chu Ci's question about how sugarcane produces brown sugar yesterday, so when Chu Ci went to the outer suburbs today, he simply took them all with him.

"Sir, are there really big worms on the mountain there? I wonder if the big worms on the mountain are the same as the big worms in the Zhenyuan Garden?" Fu Mingan was unexpectedly interested in big worms. He still remembered that when he was in the capital, he The little uncle once took them to see it.

For the past two years, Fu Ming'an has been studying with Chu Ci here, and it would be a lie to say that his family is not worried.But Mr. Fu is very strict in managing the family, so he made an agreement with Fu Mingan at the beginning, not to cry and beg to go home, otherwise he would not be allowed to follow.They kept writing letters every month, and Mrs. Fu would ask someone to send some things over from time to time. Every New Year's day, she would also present Fu Ming'an a gift to Chu Ci. It can be said that she is very polite.

"Brother Ming'an, have you ever seen a big worm? What does a big worm look like? Is it as ferocious as in the painting?" Before Chu Ci could answer, Zhong Liyu asked the question. He had never seen a real big worm, but only saw it in the painting. Pass.

Fu Mingan nodded earnestly: "This big bug is much more ferocious than in the painting. The one I saw was white-striped. Its head was as big as my body, and it stood taller than my little uncle. Its teeth were as sharp as sawtooths. , the sound is like thunder in the sky, I have a cousin who was scared to cry by its sound."

Hearing what he said, several people were suddenly frightened and ready to move. They all wanted to see what the real king of beasts looked like.Right now, there seems to be a...

"Stop! Our trip is not to see the tiger!" Chu Ci quickly dispelled their dangerous thoughts, "Don't go to the mountains on your own initiative, if someone doesn't listen, you will copy the book a hundred times when you come back, and you can't finish it. Go to bed."

Such a cruel punishment, of course they dare not try their best.Their uncle/mister/foster father has always kept his word!A hundred books, even the shortest article, can cut off the hands of people.

Chu Ci was very satisfied that he had calmed them down, and turned his head again to instruct Chang Xiao and Lu Jingshu to play chess.And Chu Xiaoyuan pulled Zhong Liyu to continue asking about the big worm, and when it came to the rise, he didn't forget to "hoo hoo" twice to show off his "extraordinary martial arts" that didn't exist at all.

The car staggered forward all the way, and soon came to the school.There was a clever boy who saw the frame from afar and ran to inform Zhuangtou.So, as soon as Chuci and the others stopped their car, they heard greetings from outside.

"Chen Weng don't need to be too polite." Chu Ci helped Chen San who was going to salute him, and then signaled to others not to be too formal.

A group of children who got out of the car at the back greeted Chen San politely.Chen San agreed repeatedly, his face was so wrinkled when he smiled, he looked over one by one, and couldn't help sighing: "It's strange that people say that the children in the city are precious, and all of them are like the golden boys and jade girls in the sky. Can it be precious?"

The snow-white children like glutinous rice balls are very different from the dirt in their countryside.

"Chen Weng praised it. They are all ignorant, and they are far inferior to the sensible and obedient children in the village." Chu Ci was modest.

The two of you came and I exchanged a few words, Chen Sandao: "Oh, I'm so confused, I forgot to invite adults and young masters and ladies to sit in. Everyone, please come in quickly, it's hot outside, go inside to drink Let's cool down with a cup of herbal tea."

He said, leading the way for everyone.After everyone was seated, Chen San asked his wife to pour some herbal tea for everyone. This herbal tea was made from the Zheer root dug from the mountain, that is, dried houttuynia cordata, and it didn't taste like fresh fish. The taste is cool and thirst-quenching in the mouth, and it really relieves most of the summer heat of the big guy, so the heart also calms down.

Mrs. Chen also added some brown sugar to the children's share, which made it even more delicious.Although sugar is expensive outside, they are the place of origin here. Most of the sugar is exchanged for money and rent every year, and a small part of the leftovers is given to these farmers to cook themselves.

After drinking the herbal tea, the children couldn't sit still any longer. After Chu Ci mentioned their intentions, Mrs. Chen took them to the sugarcane field.Zhang Hu followed silently, he was strong and had to protect them!

Only Chu Ci and old man Chen were left in the hall.After talking for three rounds, Chen San carefully guessed the reason for Chu Ci's visit, he thought Chu Ci was here to inspect the crops, so he quickly said: "The old man has sent someone to pull out the broken rice in the field. People don't eat this stuff, but those donkeys, horses, etc., like to chew it."

"The late rice has also been soaked, and it will be sprinkled in the fields when it germinates. Also, all the fruits and vegetables have been pulled back. The edible ones are in the kitchen, and the inedible ones are transported to the barn. "

Chu Ci nodded in response, and said: "Chen Weng is naturally very at ease in doing things, but I came here today, but not for these reasons."

Chen San looked at him suspiciously: "My lord...do you want to come and watch the wild boars? The old man talked to the hunters in the neighboring village yesterday and asked him to help keep an eye on the whereabouts of the wild boars. I heard that they are going to their village." The mountain has passed, don't let them come to harm people again."

Chu Ci chuckled secretly, thinking that this Weng Chen probably regarded the wild boars as a sworn enemy, so he reported them in such a hateful tone when he mentioned them.But, "Chen Weng, this official is not here for this matter, but for brown sugar and sugar cane."

Chen San was a little nervous at first, but then he calmed down: "My lord, but what went wrong in this year's brown sugar business?"

"That's not the case. This officer wants to use the brown sugar in the village to do some experiments to see if they can be turned into frosting sugar."

Chu Ci's ordinary words sounded like thunder in Chen San's ears. He widened his eyes and said incredulously, "What? That snow-like icing sugar is actually made of brown sugar?"

He is the head of the village, and he has seen more things than ordinary villagers. He has also seen the frosted sugar, which is placed in those exquisite shops. It is basically the same as tea, and it is called by two.Only the powerful and powerful can afford such a pure white color. Ordinary people have to think about it for a long time even if they eat some brown sugar.

"It's absolutely true. I have tried to make frosting sugar with a very small amount of them." Chu Ci's affirmative words made his heart beat wildly. Big change!
