Yu Qian was doing well in Jiangnan.
The capital was also steadily advancing.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for improving the fate of the country and increasing the destiny. The host will receive a reward.
Ding! Reward: Method to make high purity white sugar
Ding! Reward: Manual Water Pumping Blueprint
Ding! Reward: Black Powder Formula
Accept?
Zhu Zhanxin didn't even think about it.
Receive.
Everything was stored in the system warehouse.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhanxin first received the method to make white sugar.
After obtaining a scroll of blueprints and the same thing as the text description.
Zhu Zhan opened it and saw that it was filled with detailed methods of making white sugar.
At this time, the Great Ming Dynasty also had something similar to white sugar.
However, the purity of this thing was very low.
Moreover, it was extremely expensive. It could be said to be a luxury exclusive to the nobles.
And now, with the method to make white sugar.
They could sell it through the Imperial Manor and earn a lot of money from it, which was a little lower than those frosting.
In this way, the money from the imperial estate would not enter the national treasury, but the crown prince's residence would also be rich.
After thinking for a while.
Zhu Zhan came to the craftsman's place by himself.
He found a chef who was in charge of the icing.
He brought her back to the Crown Prince's residence.
Then, he called a few trusted servants to help him.
In the end, he sent someone to the imperial kitchen to prepare some ingredients.
This craftsman had a look of being at a loss from the beginning to the end.
Zhu Zhan looked at him and said,"Master, don't be afraid. Come, let's make something."”
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanxin took out the roll of white sugar making method.
The surrounding maidservants in the Crown Prince's residence were also extremely curious.
However, he was already used to the strange actions of the imperial grandson.
He didn't think too much about it now.
The craftsman picked it up and looked at the blueprint of the white sugar, as well as the detailed method of making it. He asked curiously,"If I may be so bold as to ask, is this the icing of the country?”
"Yes and no. White sugar is more accurate, but it's all the same.”
"If you want to do it, we have enough manpower here.”
"If there's nothing else, I'll go with you. I can watch.”
Zhu Zhanxin was still a little worried.
"What? Alright then, why don't you find a seat? I have to prepare the materials inside and this tool.”
"No need. I've already ordered someone to get it. It's all ready-made. We won't make too much.”
"Very soon. I guess one night will do.”Master said confidently.
When Zhu Zhanxin heard this, he did a rough calculation in his heart.
It was indeed at this time.
An acceptable duration.
Soon after, the materials and tools needed to make white sugar were sent to the Crown Prince's residence.
The master craftsman led the servant girls and began to work.
The method of making white sugar was actually the method in Song Yingxing's " Heavenly Creations: Making White Sugar " during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
It could be said to be extremely detailed!
It was made from mature old sugar cane from Fujian and Guangdong in the south.
Using a special squeezing method, and then using the essence to extract, and repeatedly processing the pattern to obtain a nest of silk, and even rock sugar!
During the manufacturing process, one had to be extremely careful and test the fire.
While pouring the sugar juice into the sugar vat, he had to observe with his naked eye at all times to boil the juice drop by drop.
While it was boiling, it was also necessary to distinguish and control the heat through the small sugar splashes that were blown up accurately.
In the end, when the syrup was boiled until it was in the shape of a fine bead.
Just like when we were young, when we were about to boil the soup.
At this moment, it was almost at the right time.
If he were to use his hands lightly now, he would definitely have to gently twist it or pick it up with chopsticks.
If it was extremely sticky, it meant that the candy had been cooked to perfection.
The last step was a bit like the traditional method of drying into a sugar paste. Then, the bottom of the sugar tank was punched, and the bottom was stuffed with a hollow straw stick. It was placed in the wind, and gradually, white sugar could be obtained.
This kind of white sugar was also called Western sugar because it was as white as Western sugar.
Of course, the white sugar obtained from this could be processed into a nest of silk and rock sugar.
The production method was also mentioned in this scroll.
I even drew a picture for you.
It was extremely detailed.
After a night like this, Zhu Zhan Xin was called by his mother to eat and rest several times.
They would also come over to take a look halfway through their meals and wake up to take a look halfway through their sleep.
Until dawn.
The servant girls who were helping the master were all lying on the side and sleeping on the chairs.
Finally, the master shouted excitedly,""We succeeded! I succeeded!"
Zhu Zhanxin quivered and opened his eyes from his chair.
Then, he rushed to the table with the sugar jar.
Sure enough, a small jar of snow-white sugar was covering the bottom of the small jar.
Zhu Zhanxin gently picked up a little and tasted it.
Under the craftsman's expectant gaze, Zhu Zhan Xin patted his master and said with a smile,""Well done, look at the reward."
"Thank you, Country Supervisor!"
At noon, Zhu Zhanxin brought the roll of white sugar production method and the small jar of white sugar to Zhu Gaochi.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was working in a palace not far from the royal study.
San Yang and some ministers of the six ministries would also settle matters here.
There was no need for everything to go through Country Supervisor Zhu Zhanyan.
He had to ask about major matters and new policies.
Small matters such as how to promote the implementation of peaceful daily operations of the court were reasonable.
Just do it as usual.
When Zhu Zhanxin arrived, he happened to meet his father who was about to leave.
She quickly grabbed him and said happily,"Dad, come, come. I'll show you something good.”
"I'm going to the Ministry of Revenue to tabulate the information.”
"Wait a minute, Dad."
"Alright, go ahead."
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanxin took out the scroll that detailed the method of making white sugar.
There was also that small jar of white sugar.
Zhu Gaochi was also a person who tasted frosting every day.
He immediately saw through the mystery in the small jar.
Then, he gently picked up a little and tasted it!
As soon as the white sugar entered his mouth!
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened!
Shocked!
"This is?"
"Hehe, high-grade frosting, I call it white sugar!”
"Let me try it again!"
"Alright."
After Zhu Gaochi tasted a few more mouthfuls, he finally had a look of enjoyment on his face. The sweetness was simply too comfortable.
Then, he opened the roll of white sugar making method.
Zhu Gaochi also liked to read some agricultural books and was a benevolent ruler who cared about the people.
Therefore, when combined with the white sugar that he had just tasted, he immediately understood.
He was overjoyed on the spot and asked Zhu Zhan Xin excitedly,""Child, where did you get this?”
"I sent people overseas to search for it."
