"Hey, are you angry?" Xie Huaxiang came over with a smile, "I mean, why is this kid always looking unhappy lately? It turns out he is worried about this! Don't worry, I said I would give it to you. I definitely won¡¯t default on my debt, but I didn¡¯t think it through enough at the beginning. Now, Jianmin and the others have put in a lot of effort to help raise chickens. You guys have to go to school and sometimes you can¡¯t take care of it. How about this? , I will give half of the money from selling eggs to you, but it will be shared between you, Yaomei, and Jianmin. In fact, Jianmin is still the main person raising chickens now, so you two are not at a disadvantage, right?"
Shen Ganggang thought about it for a while, and what she said made sense, but in this case, the money was lost out of thin air, which made him feel a little sad.
Shen Lihua saw through his mind and said, "Think about it, if we had to feed the chickens, the chickens would be starved and wouldn't be able to lay many eggs. Now that Brother Jianmin has raised them for us, we can sell more eggs by laying more eggs." Money, then the money we get is still the same, right?"
Having said this, what else can Shen Guanggong say? He can only accept it. Fortunately, at least the money is saved.
He had never dared to let his father know about the money he made from Xie Huaxiang, otherwise he would definitely be beaten. He even knew how to scold him, which was nothing more than: "Bad boy, I support you for you." I don¡¯t give you food and clothing just so you can act like a debt collector and ask for money!¡±
But Xie Huaxiang said that it was right for him to help with labor and make money based on his own labor. He also felt that this was the case. He earned the money legitimately and had no regrets at all.
The days are passing by, and it¡¯s almost August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The production team has a good harvest of sugar cane this year. After harvesting the sugar cane, except for part of the sugar cane that is turned over to the state and transported to the sugar factory, the rest is left to the team to fend for themselves. The brown sugar was distributed to the members.
The members wanted something sweet all year round, so they pointed to this little brown sugar.
The day of making sugar is a big event in the team. Almost all the female laborers came, and everyone worked together to clean the chopped sugar cane and chop it into small pieces.
At this time, there are always many children around, begging for a few pieces of chopped sugar cane. The ripe sugar cane is filled with sweet juice in one mouthful. It is almost as delicious as the fruit candies from the supply and marketing cooperative. , the children ate until their mouths were sticky, and no one cared about that. The children in the team had something sweet to eat all year round, and this was the only time they could eat something sweet.
Some people are responsible for chopping the sugar cane, and others put the chopped sugar cane into small pieces and grind it in a large stone mortar. This is a manual job, and it requires several strong women to take turns doing it.
Xie Huaxiang knew that sugar cane could be used to boil brown sugar, but it was her first time to see how it was done. She followed curiously to watch the fun, and also started to do some work. Fortunately, there were many people, and others didn't care whether she did much work or not.
When the sugar cane was ground into powder, several large pots had been set up next to it. Scoop up the crushed sugar cane, put it into the pot, add water, and heat the bottom of the pot over high heat until bubbles bubbled up and even the air bubbled up. All the sweet fragrance is wafting in it.
After boiling over high heat for an hour, first filter it with bamboo strips, and then filter it twice with clean gauze. Put the filtered sugar water into another pot and continue to boil it. After boiling for an hour, bubble it, and use a spoon to remove the floating sugar water. After skimming off the foam, the entire cooking process takes about six hours, with a total of three times of soaking.
At the end of the boil, the sugar water becomes very viscous and turns into a dark reddish brown color. At this time, you are ready to start the pot. Use a spoon to stir and sand continuously. The purpose is to fully mix the air into the brown sugar. Beating the sand is also a key process. If not done well, the resulting brown sugar cubes will be so hard that they can kill a dog.
Finally, pour the sanded syrup into bowls and let it cool.
Several large pots took turns boiling sugar water non-stop. Everyone was immersed in the sweet air, and it felt like even people became sweet. This is really the sweetest day of the year.
Nearly everyone in the team contributed their own bowls. The full bowls at the scene were spectacular, and all the bowls were filled with more than half of the bowl of brown syrup.
After the brown syrup cools naturally, it forms into bowl-shaped pieces of brown sugar. This is the most original natural flavor. It tastes more fragrant and more flavorful than the fine brown sugar bought outside and produced by sugar factories.
After all the brown sugar pieces are collected, the team weighs them uniformly, and then divides them equally according to the number of people in the team. The yield of brown sugar is not high. One hundred and fifty kilograms of sugar cane can only make about ten kilograms. brown sugar.
The weather is good this year and the sugar cane harvest is good. Everyone can get half a catty of brown sugar, which is made in a bowl.At the same time, Cheng Likun came to the door carrying a bag.
"Hey, it's quite lively at home." Cheng Likun greeted Shen Dazhuang and Wang Weiqing with a smile. He had long heard from people in the village that they were close to each other, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
In fact, some people in the village made some unpleasant remarks. Shen Dazhuang and his son, as well as Wang Weiqing, did not spend the night at home for more than half of the month. At first, people didn't think anything about it, but as time went by, various speculations began to arise. Come, especially since there is a beautiful female educated youth living in Shen Tingsheng's home.
Of course, Cheng Likun didn't believe a word of those words. Instead, he envied them. He was so happy to have such close friends and have fun together. Unlike himself, if Shen Tingsheng hadn't invited him to come over for dinner, he would have been very happy. I had to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival night alone.
Oh, actually not really. Captain Shen had asked him to go home to celebrate the festival before, but he just refused.
He handed the bag he brought to Xie Huaxiang: "I'll trouble you tonight."
Xie Huaxiang thought he had brought some ingredients for her to help process. When she opened the bag, she saw that it was a can of malted milk. She was surprised: "Where did this good thing come from?" (Remember the website address: www. hlnovel.com
