Chapter 9:Sugar Making

Zhu Hongsan went out to walk around and go home the day after it was almost dark.When I saw the door at the door, I could see that the old lady had come back.Open the door and close it.I went into the yard to see someone in the kitchen, and my mother was cooking.

“I can’t run anyway.”Zhu Hongsan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Mother, I'm back."

The old lady replied, "Come back, and eat for a while."

My mother didn’t have an imagined bruise.Zhu Hongsan sat in the yard while teasing the dog while thinking about his mind.After a while, I heard my mother-in-law shouting in the kitchen, "Bao, come here, and have dinner."

Zhu Hongsan went into the kitchen to see that the meal was already on the table.The nose smells good, there are bamboo shoots, red carp, and a pot of chicken soup, all delicious.Zhu Hongsan asked, "Mother, what a festival to do, make so much delicious food."

The old lady put a bowl of rice for Zhu Hongsan, and also sat on the edge of the table and said, "It's all made for you, don't my children like carp the most?"My mother did it for me today.”

Zhu Hongsan knew what the old lady meant and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm angry with you."

“Silly boy, how could my son be angry?”

“Mother, are you really angry?”Zhu Hongsan looked up at the old lady.

"Really, I always thought that my son was the best, son, you were born in this family, can not read."If you were born in an ordinary family, you would be able to take a sergeant, which is much better than a young child prodigy in the horse.”It seems that in the eyes of parents, their children are the best and the smartest.This truth is ancient.

Hearing the old lady say so Zhu Hongsan bowed her head, he thought of the parents of a previous life, remember that when he was a child, he was also motionless to get into trouble, and when he was in high school, she also made the female classmates pregnant, so her parents did not scold themselves.Instead, talk to yourself about human reason.

When I grew up, I learned that my father had gone to apologize to the other party, so that the other father had slapped her father, and I thought that Zhu Hongsan really felt that he was a little ashamed of his parents.

Mother Zhao Chunhua said, “Bao Er, are you really learning to recognize yourself?”

Zhu Hong nodded three times: "Yes, I have nothing to go to school to find money and fat people to play, sometimes he dare not come out, I will listen to the man said, when it's okay, I will take the branches to teach the painting."

The mother listened to me, tears came down: "Son, your life is so bad, you have to spread an ordinary family will be able to get out of the ground."

Seeing his mother crying Zhu Hongsan was also a little helpless, and stood up and said, "Mother, I am very happy, I love you, I am really happy."

My mother saw that Zhu Hongsan was so understanding tears.

Zhu Hong San quickly opened the topic and said, "Mother, tell me about my father, why did you marry my father?"

The mother who was forked the topic stopped her tears and said, "Your father's dead ghost will not be anything else, it will be smooth and smooth."Your aunt has not had no children, that year I and your aunt went to the city appearance sound temple incense, your father looked at me.Go home and tell your grandfather that your grandfather was a general of the auxiliary country at that time, and found my father, who was your grandfather.At that time, your father's family could not open the pot, and your grandfather was also the master of the county, and how could your grandfather promise him, and then rejected your grandfather."

Zhu Hongsan put his mouth and watched his mother recall his and his father's legendary life.

The mother continued, “Your grandfather let your father die, your father disagreed.”After a few days in the middle of the night, I climbed into your grandfather's yard, found me, and even talked to me for half a month.When your uncle found out that he had not been able to get out of bed for more than ten days.Later, I discussed with your father that if you want to be together, it is not enough to make some means, and the two of us will cook mature rice and have you.Your grandfather couldn't see it, so he promised to marry me to your father."

Zhu Hongsan was full of black lines and thought, "This is anyone."

Mother then recalled: "Your grandfather is the house master, control the family's money and food, my father and I married your father's family slowly better, but a few years ago your grandfather died, your two uncles are not big, failed to take over your grandfather's position."Our days are getting more and more tense, and your father gave up his life in order to let our mother eat something good.”

Zhu Hongsan listened to his mother so much, only to find that his dead father was not so useless.Seeing that his mother was going to shed tears again, Zhu Hongsan quickly said, "Mother, don't we have a thousand silver coins, a lot of money, why not a little better."

The mother heard her son say, "At that time, one hundred and two took out the affairs of your father and set up our small shop, and after that, without your father, our mother could not break the entry, and the remaining nine hundred and two plus the 1502 given by the horseman were buried in the ground, ready to marry your daughter-in-law in the future."

He said, “That’s so much money.”

"Why can't it be used, a three-in-one large yard in the county town will be nearly two hundred and two, buy another hundred acres of land in the countryside, hire a few maids, this money is not necessarily enough."

I did not expect the mother's vision so long-term, it seems that it is impossible for her to take the money out and prepare to run.

Zhu Hongsan laughed, "Mother, don't worry, I will have some interest in the future, earn a lot of money, and find a hundred maids to serve you."

"Little bastard urinary jar set in Phnom Penh is a good mouth, and like your dead father, eat fast, and the chicken soup will be cold for a while."

“Well, you eat too.”

It was dark after dinner, and my mother went back to bed.This era is paying attention to the sunrise and sunset, except for the official nobles basically have no night life.I watched my mother’s house light go out.

Zhu Hongsan lay in his bed and thought, "In fact, this cheap old lady is also good, at least for me."I sleep when I think about it.In the dream, I found that the mother of the previous life and the old lady of this life slowly became a person, and could no longer be divided.

When I got up the next morning, my mother went out early.Zhu Hongsan himself finished his breakfast, nibbled on the chicken legs that had been left last night, and sat in the courtyard waiting for the delivery.

The delivery did not come to Zhao Tie eggs, they arrived.But Zhu Hongsan was not in the mood to play with them today, let them play on their own.Say they want to see the house today and send them away.Zhu Hongsan saw the height of Zhao Tie egg that physique, thinking that this is a hard force without money, said: "Cousin has nothing to stay, my mother will look for you something."

Zhao Tie egg said in a thick promise, and the others looked at nothing and played each other.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhao Tie egg: "Big cousin, is it your uncle who let you come to me?"

"Yes, my father told me to come to you to play with nothing, and said that you don't lose anything."

Zhu Hong thought: It seems that some time ago, my uncle saw something, worried that his eldest son would suffer in front of his mother later, and sent me to see if there was any way out, since this did not want money hard work just to use it.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhao Tie egg: "Big cousin, aunt is good to you."

"It's been good since my brother was born last year."

“Can you have enough food in your house?”

"I can't eat enough, eat too much mother and father to fight, I am afraid my father is sad, so every time I say that I have enough to eat."

"Big cousin, if so, I'll go to my uncle and say, 'You'll stay in my house, and I'll stay in one."

"Well, I like my aunt best, and my aunt is the best for me, always buy me sugar."

"Well, I'll let you do some work, you'll listen to me, I'll let you do whatever you want, and I'll buy you good food."

Zhao Tie egg said happily, "Well, my father will let me listen to you when he comes, but you have to buy me a good meal."

“Don’t worry.”

When Zhu Hongsanzheng and Zhao Tie egg chatted, some of the things ordered yesterday were successively delivered.Ten pounds of brown sugar, 20 pounds of lime, 20 pounds of charcoal.A pottery cylinder, and those are made of iron cylinders.Zhu Hongsan looked at the iron cylindrical cylinder handmade.

Zhu Hongsan commanded Zhao Iron Egg to fill the large tank with more than half of the tank water, and then put the lime inside, the first time did not dare to put more, first put five pounds of lime.Then find a stick to start stirring, turn the lime away, and the yard is filled with a lime smell.At about the beginning, Zhu Hongsan commanded Zhao Tie egg to put all the yolk sugar into the lime water.

Zhao Tie egg asked, "Isn't this sugar all blind?"

Zhu Hongsan pretended to be angry and said, “Cousin, what did I say just now, don’t you listen to me?”

Zhao Tie egg said hurriedly: "No, just look at the pain."

"Listen to me, let me come."

Zhao Tie egg does not say anything to put ten pounds of brown sugar into the lime water inside stirring, a moment to open, into a pot of white lime sugar water.Wait a while, let Zhao iron eggs set up a carbon stove, connect the iron tube together, form a curved catheter, put it on the carbon stove again, and put it in the lime water again.

After about ten minutes, the carbon dioxide began to react with the lime, and bubbles began to appear on the water surface.Zhu Hongsan commanded Zhao Iron Egg to slowly stir the sugar water, prompting the lime to accelerate the reaction.After more than half an hour, seeing that the bubbles became less, Zhu Hongsan knew almost, and then added carbon dioxide to become carbonic acid.Command Zhao Tie egg to take off the catheter and wait for the lime water to precipitate.

An hour later, look at the lime water in the cylinder precipitated, above the sugar water, below the calcium carbonate.Carefully divide the sugar water and the deposited calcium carbonate, add the purchased bamboo charcoal to the sugar water, and use the bamboo charcoal to absorb the remaining impurities in the sugar water.After the third time, the sugar water basically became clear.

At this time, put the sugar water in the iron pot, slowly boiled with a small fire, and after half an hour, the sugar water that reached the saturated concentration began to precipitate white sugar.Look at it almost, stop the fire, and use the waste heat to evaporate the remaining water.White sugar appeared on the bottom of the pot.

Zhu Hongsan to see about three pounds, according to the mother said one or two white sugar twelve silver to count three pounds of white sugar about three hundred and two silver, the input is less than half two silver, the output is 600 times, really science and technology is the first productivity ah.This is still the production process can not do, waste a lot of yellow sugar, Zhu Hongsan estimated that the calcium carbonate poured out can also produce two pounds of white sugar.

Zhao Tie egg has been lying on the side of the pot to watch the white sugar precipitation, asked: "Three children, what is out of this sugar water, is it sugar?"How white is it."

He said, “Taste it.”

Zhao Tie egg grabbed a little licked with the tip of the tongue and screamed, “My mother, sweet, so sweet.”This is snow candy, I heard my father say that only Wuchangfu is sold."Put a handful of sugar in your mouth and eat it.

Zhu Hong said, "Don't eat, you don't have to die."

The ancients were very weak in their bodies, and they did not make up for them, and they would have nosebleeds when they ate too much white sugar.After a while, he bled in the nostrils of Zhao Tie eggs.
