Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 290 Chapter 292
Shi Shan and the leaders of several tribes looked at the rebuilt wooden house and gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"It's still the green witch's ability, we can't think of such a way!"

Yao Xiaoqing's face was a little red, "You are too busy, I like to think about it when I have nothing to do!" What she didn't say was that if you also came from thousands of years later, you would be successful too, maybe better than me. Even more powerful.

Yao Hu looked at Yao Xiaoqing proudly, and said to Shi Shan: "Brother Shi Shan, hurry up and build a wooden house before it snows, and cut down firewood to prepare for the winter."

"Leader Yaohu, Wuxian's Cuiyu took people away and never came back. Can we build a wooden house with them?" asked a later leader of a small tribe.

Yaohu nodded, "You can build the wooden house there after they leave."

Shanyang nodded again and again, "Yes, it's best to drive away the black bear's daughter, that woman looks as bad as the black bear."

The other chiefs agreed with Sanyo's statement.

Everyone gossiped for a while before going back.

Yao Xiaoqing thought of what the leader said, and looked at Yaohu, "Father, do you think the giant bear tribe will go to Shenmu Mountain?"

Yaohu thought for a while, "There is a possibility. After this part is over, let people go into the mountain to have a look."

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded, thought about it and said, "The oil extraction room is ready, let's squeeze out the sugar first, and then start the oil extraction."

Yaohu laughed after hearing this, "Sugar cane is so sweet, everyone loves to eat it, one today and one tomorrow, I don't think it will be long before it will be gone."

Yao Xiaoqing thinks the same, although this year's sugar cane harvested a lot, but it can't stand the crowd!
The father and daughter returned to the tribe, went straight to the oil mill, and saw that Jiang Li and his men had already installed the rams.

Yao Xiaoqing walked over and said with a smile: "Jiang Li, let's squeeze out the sugar first, and then start to squeeze the oil."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "You have someone pull the sugar cane over, and the millstone and stove are ready."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and went back with a dozen women to drag the sugar cane to the ditch and wash it with grass handles. The water in the ditch was icy cold, and soon turned red like a red radish.

Everyone peeled the cleaned sugarcane and chopped it into small pieces.

"Ah Yu, collect these sugarcane skins and send some to Yun'am in the canteen, and send the rest to the livestock house for Uncle Chun to feed the cows."

Ah Yu asked in confusion: "Xiaoqing, what are you doing with the sugarcane skins for Ah Mu?" She thought it was right to feed the cows with the sugarcane skins, can they be used as food in the cafeteria?
Yao Xiaoqing looked up, "Send it to the cafeteria and ask Yun Amga to smoke bacon and fish in pine branches. The smoked food has a sweet fragrance!"

"Oh! I see." Ah Yu put the sugarcane skins into baskets, picked them up in the cafeteria and handed them to Amu Yun.

Yao Xiaoqing led the people to put the short-cut sugarcane into the millstone for grinding, and the sugarcane juice flowed into the wooden barrel along the millstone, and then put the sugarcane slag into the sack, and squeezed out the remaining sugarcane juice.

After all the sugarcane juice is hydraulically squeezed out, the sugarcane juice in the bucket is filtered with gauze to remove the dross.Pour the sugarcane juice into the pot and boil it over high heat, then boil it slowly over low heat. Stir the sugarcane juice in the pot to let the water evaporate slowly, so that the concentration of sugar will gradually increase.

Stir continuously during the cooking process to prevent the sugar liquid from sticking to the pot.There was only a little flame left in the hearth, which could neither extinguish nor kindle the fire.

Stirring is quite a tiring job. If you keep stirring for a while, your hands will become stiff and numb after a while.

Everyone took turns to stir, and after a long wait, the syrup finally boiled hard and turned into a thick reddish-brown paste sugar. Yao Xiaoqing scooped out the syrup and put it into the prepared mold to cool.

Yao Xiaoqing had someone boil the second pot of syrup a little older, and the color of the syrup turned dark brown.After this pot of syrup is cooked, the first pot of syrup is also cooled.

She led people to pour the solidified brown sugar bricks out of the mold, and the reddish-brown brown sugar bricks were made.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece of crumbs and put them in his mouth, and again tasted the special taste of brown sugar, which was similar to caramel.

She put a piece in Shan Amu's mouth, "Amu, try it to see if it's sweet."

The sweet candy melted in his mouth, Shan Amu nodded with a smile, "Sweet, sweet!"

Hua tasted a piece and asked strangely: "Xiaoqing, sugarcane is white, why is the boiled sugar like this? Is there any white sugar?"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, "Yes, after all the sugar is boiled, we will make white sugar after the last pot of syrup."

After they entered, Jiang Li looked at her curiously, "Qing Wu, do you still know how to make sugar?"

"I saw the method of making white sugar on the Internet before, let's try it out." Yao Xiaoqing said.

Jiang Li nodded, "Okay, I will prepare anything that needs to be prepared."

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "No need to prepare, I made charcoal, put syrup and water into the charcoal and boil it, then filter it with gauze, boil it and let it stand, you can get white sugar."

Jiang Li nodded after listening, "Okay, let's make the syrup first."

A group of people worked for several days to boil all the syrup, and made the last few pots of syrup into white sugar.

After lunch, the people of the Yaoshan tribe drank brown sugar ginger tea.

Yao Xiaoqing said to the women: "In the future, it will be inconvenient for everyone. When you have a stomachache, you can drink brown sugar. Don't eat sugar before going to bed. Your teeth will be broken. When Emu is cooking food in red, you can drink it. Add brown and white sugar for flavor."

Ashuo and the others smiled and nodded, "Understood."

Amu Yun held the bamboo cup with a smile, "It's warm after drinking, and feels very comfortable in my stomach."

Shan Amu nodded with a smile, "Yes! Let's grow some sugar cane next year."

Yao Xiaoqing stood up and said with a smile: "When the brown sugar and white sugar are all ready, let's start pressing the oil."

Jiang Li also stood up, "We need a few strong men to help."

Muba and Leopard stood up, "Let's help."

"Okay, let's go to the oil press." Everyone went to the oil press together.

Everyone pours the rapeseed into the wind valley machine, after the wind is clean, it is poured into the pot and fried until it is burnt brown, shoveled into baskets and poured out on bamboo mats to cool.

Jiang Li took Muba and the others to grind the rapeseed into powder with a stone mill and put them into the steamer, steaming until the pot was steaming, the oil press workshop was filled with mist, and the rapeseed in the steamer gave off a burst of oily fragrance.

After checking it a few times, he felt that the steaming was done, so Jiang Li asked them to pour the rapeseed powder in the steamer on the bamboo mat, use a shovel to shovel the rapeseed powder into the straw basket, and quickly wrap it up.Divide the straw baskets into iron rings one by one to make oil cakes.

Then stuff the cakes one by one into the groove of the press chamber and arrange them neatly, and then stuff them with wooden blocks on one side of the cakes.
