Chapter 361 Daqin's Candied Haws
Su Yu wandered around the kitchen for a while, and finally took out the smallest iron pot and a forged kitchen knife that the big cow gave him.
The iron pot sat on the gap dug above the stall cart, and the space below was hollowed out with a low-quality iron plate, and Su Yu put a lot of firewood.
After preparing these, Su Yu found a lot of cane sugar from the kitchen.
These sucrose are the products of small-scale trial planting in Xianyang Palace.
At present, sugarcane, the raw material of sucrose, is still in the wild to be planted in most areas of the south.
Therefore, the most commonly used in Daqin is caramel, that is, maltose.
Su Yu is not quite sure whether it is feasible to temporarily replace the caramel with maltose.
So to be on the safe side, it’s better to use sucrose for the first time.
After half an hour, the servant returned triumphantly carrying a hawthorn in a hemp cloth bag.
At this time, the hawthorn is bright red and attractive.
All of them are the size of a newborn baby's fist, and they also have a faint sweet and sour fragrance.
"My lord, these hawthorns are the freshest hawthorns you can buy, but they have been stored for two or three months, and I don't know if they can be used or not?"
the servant asked cautiously.
Su Yu nodded slightly: "It can be used, go down and collect the reward money."
"No need for the adults, it's what we servants should do to do things for you. Besides, we haven't spent the money you gave us last time."
The domestic servant waved his hands again and again, and at the same time, a warm current surged in his heart.
They, the servants of Xianju, often get together to discuss.
I don't know what virtue they accumulated in the previous life, and they can work in Xianju in this life.
Although they are also servants in name and identity, their adults have never regarded them as servants.
Every time you do a job well, you will be rewarded with a few dollars.
Although it's not much money.
But as a subordinate, being able to get a reward is something they dare not even dream of.
In Daqin, these servants are equivalent to slaves in another sense.
It's right to do whatever you can, and there's no reason why the master will reward the slave with money.
Su Yu laughed dumbly.
For these servants of his own family, Su Yu has always treated each other as an employee.
He also knew the current situation and system of Daqin.
But as a person who has lived in modern times for 20 years, some of his concepts still cannot adapt to the status quo of Daqin.
At least in his subconscious, he is still dealing with interpersonal relationships with the concept of equality for all.
Seeing that the servant insisted not to, Su Yu was not forcing it.
After washing a bag of hawthorn, put it on the trolley, and Su Yu began to concentrate on handling the hawthorn.
Although these hawthorns have been kept for a long time.
But at the current temperature, Qiuwei Hawthorn can generally be stored for more than five months.
Like this two or three months of hawthorn, it is the right time to eat.
Meng Wanning and Ying Yinman, who were upstairs, saw Su Yu busy downstairs, and curiously put on clothes and went downstairs to come to Su Yu's side.
"Brother Yu, what's the use of getting so many hawthorns?" Meng Wanning asked curiously.
Su Yu smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out later."
"Mysterious and mysterious." Meng Wan condensed her lips, and immediately held the Ying Yinman who smiled without saying a word, watching Su Yu handle the hawthorn.
I saw that Su Yu cut the hawthorn horizontally, removed the core, and removed the hard part around the core.
Finally, the cut hawthorns are strung together with a wooden drill.
One, two, three...
If there is a modern person next to Su Yu at this time, they will definitely recognize what Su Yu is doing at a glance.
Wear candied haws!
That's right, Su Yu is planning to sell some candied haws.
Now this winter season, if it is modern, it should also be approaching the Spring Festival.
It is the season when candied haws are often seen all over the north.
It's a pity that at this time in Daqin, there is no such thing as the Spring Festival.
At the end of the year, except for the time of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the palace is a little more lively, but there are not too many festive days.
At this point, it can be considered that Su Yu, who has experienced many festivals, is not suitable for Daqin.
Although he said that in his previous life, he was not in the mood to celebrate the festival.
But every time he glanced at the lively festive atmosphere outside from the dark and hidden corner, he would get some inexplicable comfort in his heart.
I don't think the world is so cold.
Today's Da Qin, although the days are comfortable, the spirit is not so tense.
But more or less lack of some home and sustenance.
Especially the current Da Qin, the future will develop into a look that he is completely unfamiliar with.
So now I can only try to find some traces of the original world and do some comfort in my heart.
By the way, I will add some joyful atmosphere to Da Qin.
Looking at it, Meng Wanning and Ying Yinman, who were unwilling to be lonely, also took out the kitchen knife from the kitchen and began to help Su Yu handle the hawthorn.
The two are not stupid, and dealing with hawthorn is not a difficult job.
With the help of the two girls, Su Yu's progress was greatly accelerated.
In just two quarters of an hour, a full fifty kilograms of hawthorn (Daqin unit) had already been handled by three people.
Then Su Yu started making a fire.
Although the flames did not directly touch the stall car, Su Yu added a layer of scrap iron to prevent fire.
Pour the sucrose into the pot, add a little water in proportion, and Su Yu starts to boil (Zhao's) until it turns candy.
Boiled sugar is a science.
It can't be long, and it can't be short.
After a long time, it will quickly become sticky and hard, and the sugar haws will directly turn into sugar lumps after being taken out of the pot.
The time is too short and too thin, there is not much syrup on the candied haws, only the sour taste of hawthorn.
And this time changes very fast, it is difficult to grasp.
Su Yu was lucky too, seeing that the fire was almost over, he quickly turned off the fire.
The sugar-colored heat is just right at this point.
Strings of candied haws are inserted into the syrup in the pot.
After turning it around and taking it out, Su Yu placed it directly on the iron sheet stall of the stall.
The iron sheet at this meeting was already freezing cold at the outside temperature.
The hot syrup cools down quickly under the cooling of the iron sheet.
Soon, the icing on the outside of the candied haws that came out of the pot first became hard.
