Chapter 277 Ancient Rock Candy

Mu Tingxue was most concerned about the fact that sugar was one of the most important raw materials for making bombs.

A small bomb with a range of only five kilometers can become a horrifyingly powerful rocket if the sugar content in it is increased tenfold!

That is, the nitrate rocket.

The formula is one nitrate, two sulfonates, three charcoal, and finally white sugar.

She planned to put the production of black powder back a little further and first solve the raw material issues related to people's livelihood, such as grain, salt and sugar.

"In the army, sugar is approximately equal to the combat effectiveness of a soldier..."

A low-alcohol sound like wine came from behind him.

It's the child's father.

Mu Tingxue turned around and saw Yan Yang, who had just returned from training at the Zhenbei Military Camp outside the city. He was wearing military armor and standing by the door, looking quite strong and oppressive.

"Busy working?"

"Well, I went to the eldest princess's mansion, but you weren't there."

Yan Yang approached her with a quick stride, like a mountain, and sat down next to her. His eyes settled on the green disk in front of her, which contained several pieces of white sugar cubes. "Blue Bird said, you brought your child to Tianlu."

Mu Tingxue said: "The sugar has just been put on the shelves. I'm not worried about it. I will supervise it personally for a few days."

Yan Yang picked up a piece of sugar cube with his slender fingers and looked at it carefully: "Has it been made into pieces?"

Mu Tingxue nodded: "This white sugar cube is easy to carry. You can also put a piece in when making tea."

She doesn't like drinking tea with sugar.

However, there are always some people who can't stand bitterness and like it.

It's a pity that there is no coffee in this era. Adding a cube of sugar to bitter coffee tastes very good.

"This kind of white sugar cube is easy for the army to carry."

Yan Yang keenly discovered its value.

Mu Tingxue smiled: "Yes, after all, it is small in size and has high energy, so it can be used for survival first aid. The Zhenbei Army's share of sugar cubes can be approved here."

The parachuting survival kit of World War II pilots was actually a dozen white sugar cubes.

Add some special fruit flavors at most.

Yan Yang's deep eyes fell on his fiancée: "Sugar is so expensive, if it is used for military supplies, wouldn't it..."

Mu Tingxue raised her hand: "What are you talking about? Since sugar has been included in Yunhuang Law and is a military war preparation material, then the part supplied to the army will naturally be based on the cost price of raw materials."

She still has this right to speak.

Although the basic system of the Sugar Factory is from the Tang family, the technology and equipment updates all come from her.

Mrs. Tang very consciously changed Tang's Sweet House into Tang's Sweet House, the Imperial City. Even Tang's Tang Sugar House was named "Imperial City" at the front, which is equivalent to the entire Tang's Sugar Industry. All enterprises were softly acquired by the eldest princess in the form of dividends.

It's a win-win situation.

The Tang family's reputation is far less prestigious than that of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce.

"Tingxue——"

Yan Yang was a little excited and said every word like fire, "You have really sacrificed a lot for the Zhenbei Army."

Having a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

Mu Tingxue's face was burned by his gaze. Thinking that the child was still here, she changed the subject and said, "What about that? I have people build a mill in the village near the sugar factory. It's almost time." , go over and have a look.”

"Mill?"

Yan Yang was puzzled, "Are you planning to sell tofu?"

Tofu can be made with just some brine, and no farmer on the farm can make it.

There are already many people selling white tofu, soft tofu, and old tofu in the market. How could the little girl think of doing this?

"Ah, we hired a hundred migrant workers to grind tofu in the mill. What I need is not tofu, but defective soy milk."

Mu Tingxue's eyes fell on a jar of red-yellow old rock candy in the Tianluli flowerwood cabinet.

She stepped forward, opened the cupboard door, and took out the unopened old rock sugar. "This kind of polycrystalline old rock sugar has more impurities and is yellowish and red. There is also a small piece of cotton thread inside. It is made of The hanging wire method.”

Yan Yang became more and more confused. He was not talking about mills and soy milk, so why did he suddenly jump to Lao Bingtang?

She likes to eat rock sugar cakes, and he knows that.

Those rock sugar cakes are all made of red-yellow old rock sugar, which is darker in color.

"Hanging method?"

Zebao leaned his head over and said in surprise, "I always thought that old rock candy was expensive and dirty, and the cotton thread inside was not cleaned properly."

"It's not dirty. Only by hanging a thread in the sugar cane liquid can the rock sugar gather and crystallize."

Mu Tingxue touched the child's head, "I asked Mrs. Tang. The cost of making rock sugar using the ancient method is extremely high. After the brown sugar is boiled, egg white or duck egg white is added to clarify the concentrated sugar liquid. Then the old brown sugar is crystallized, broken into pieces like this, and put into beautiful jars for sale."

Old rock candy, in ancient times, was a luxury product!

With this ancient Pharaoh rock sugar production process, one egg only has more egg white. With such a terrible cost of materials, ordinary people can't even take a bite. This is not something you should think about at all.

As for the way time travellers made canned fruits in ancient times, adding refined salt to preserve them, then adding a large amount of rock sugar, and finally selling celadon jars to make money, it was so outrageous that they even lost their pants.

"Could it be that you have a better way to make rock candy?"

Yan Yang's expression moved slightly, and his pair of extremely beautiful narrow eyes shone with anticipation.

She always brings surprises and miracles.

"Have."

Mu Tingxue nodded, "The focus is on the by-product of soy milk ground in the mill, because the essence of egg white and duck egg white is protein. In the old rock sugar production process, the protein clarification and polymerization reaction can be replaced by soy milk."

Soy milk is also rich in protein.

Yan Yang thought of the days in Maomao Mountain and said: "I remember that one of the three methods of refining refined salt you taught is to add soy milk and talk about the protein reaction. Renqing was sent by you to be the salt transporter of Woye River. We also promoted the method of making refined salt from soy milk there, which was quite effective."

"Yes, it's the same reaction principle."

Mu Tingxue felt that the child's father had a really high IQ and was very capable of drawing inferences from one instance to another. "Therefore, there is no need to use egg whites for old rock sugar. We can greatly reduce the cost and make white crystallized rock sugar!"

The family set out for the mill on Zhuangzi.

The mill is quite large, dozens of times larger than small private workshops, and it recruits 80 migrant workers.

On the one hand, it provides jobs. On the other hand, the tofu produced in the mill can be sold on the street. Although the profit is not much, the mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

"Send the soy milk to the old rock sugar making workshop of the sugar factory."

Mu Tingxue ordered in a deep voice.

The workers immediately lifted up the vats of soy milk, a by-product, and headed to the Imperial City Tang Sugar Refinery not far next door.
