"I've seen Lidian~"

All the helpers and the young man Lugen, who was in charge of the sugar and winery, quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"You're welcome, how much wine and sugar yield?" Chen Xu asked with a smile after dismounting.

"When returning to Lidian, the mountain grapes have matured in large quantities after the autumn. A few days ago, we had to buy two or three hundred kilograms of wine every day. Now we have made nearly a hundred tanks of wine and more than twenty tanks of vinegar. Most of them have been fermented and transported to the cave cellar. However, there are very few mountain people who have come to sell mountain grapes in the past two days. Most of them are wild fruits such as syrup, prickly pear, chestnut and mountain persimmon. According to the cooking method you gave, we are boiling soyrup and prickly pear candy every day, and we have obtained more than 100 kilograms of malt sugar..." Lu Gen respectfully explained the sugar wine shop in detail.

After more than a month of training, this fifteen-year-old boy is now very experienced, and has a very mature aura in both doing things and speaking. Although later generations say that he is not a good person to do things, in this primitive era, it is no longer a new thing to be together at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Whether it is fighting or farming, he is already the absolute main force and pillar of the Qin Empire.

In the past, the young man of the Qin Dynasty, Gan Luo, was named the Supreme Minister by Qin Shihuang at the age of twelve, and later Huo Qubing was the champion of the three armies at the age of 18, and now Chen Xu is also the Lidian at the age of 14, that... Although the gap between this is very big, in the current Qin Empire, Chen Xu, who has no foundation and a civilian background, can be said to be unique in his current status, and it is worthy of Chen Xu's pride.

Because Gan Luo's grandfather was the grandson of Gan Mao, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Huo Qubing was Wei Qing's nephew, and Wei Qing was the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han, both of them were absolutely aristocratic.

Moreover, after ten years of unification, Nanyang, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, suffered a heavy population loss. The current situation is that males are scarce, and most of them are young people under the age of 20. Therefore, the main force of the entire Qinghe Town is these young men who have only become naturalized in the past three or four years, and they have long been the main force in their work, such as sugar and wine shops, as are paper shops, and blacksmith shops. Even in the wooden workshop, the main force in the production is still a few teenage apprentices, and Liu Erwa is already a little helpless.

Chen Xu walked into the pergola to visit the process of making candy, and also tasted several different fructoses made in person, and felt very satisfied.

Boiling sugar is actually very simple. It is to clean the impurities in the mature wild fruit with relatively high sugar content, then wash away the soil and dirt on it with water, mash it with a wooden pestle, put it in a pot and fill it with water and cook until the wild fruit is completely cooked. At this time, most of the sugar powder in the wild fruit is integrated into the water. At this time, put the cooked wild fruit into a bag of linen cloth, squeeze it repeatedly like separating the soy sauce, and squeeze it all over. After squeezing all the juice inside, what you get is a pot of sugar-containing light sugar water, which is not sweet at this time, so you have to continue cooking. As the water evaporates, the concentration of the sugar water will become higher and higher, and finally become very sweet sugar water. Continue to boiling to get a very sticky sugar dilute. When the sugar dilute starts to have a large bubble, basically the pot of sugar is boiled successfully, and after it cools down, it becomes malt sugar. When it is eaten, it will be similar to hard fruit sugar sugar.

Take the prickly pear as an example. The prickly pear is a plant of the Rose family. It has thorns on its vines and is beautifully blooming. Some are like roses. The colors of the flowers are red, yellow and white. In fact, there is another name for prickly pear, called Jinyingzi, which is a Chinese medicine. It is yellow, red and orange when it matures. It can be used to soak in wine. It is said that... well, it can strengthen aphrodisiac, but there are thorns on the surface of the prickly pear, and after it is cut open, there are many fine fluffs on the seeds inside. Therefore, after the prickly pear is purchased, it must be placed in the sand and rubbed them with a pilopa mat to remove the prickly thorns. Then smashed them one by one and then washed them repeatedly to wash the fluffs inside before they can be used to boil sugar. The prickly sugar will inevitably contain some uncleaned fluffs, so you will feel a little astringent when you eat them, and you will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much.

Moreover, because wild fruits are not only powdered sugar, there are some other ingredients, such as sour and some chemical ingredients that are not good in taste, but under the current technical conditions of Daqin, it is absolutely successful to be able to make this sugar. Therefore, the several sugars that Chen Xu tasted were a little sour or even astringent, but the sweetness was still enough. In this era when sweet condiments were scarce, each one was a sweet delicacy, which was completely worthwhile to make. Now that I can't go anywhere in this mountain corner, I can't go to see Qin Dada. If I beat my child on a rainy day, I am idle anyway. As a time traveler, it is necessary to get some delicious food and drink to worship my own Wuyuan Temple.

Moreover, with the sausage, many other delicious foods in later generations can be made, such as rice candy, fruit candy, such as walnut cakes, biscuits, mooncakes, etc. Chen Xu decided to make these things slowly when they were bored in the cold winter. During the New Year, there was a bit of the taste of the future generations. However, in order to have a more Chinese New Year flavor, it is best to make fireworks to celebrate and entertain. After the fireworks and firecrackers were forbidden in later generations, the New Year flavor became weaker every year. During the New Year, there was no slight taste of the New Year. This was not good, very bad. Since then, I must set it off in the Qin Dynasty. Then, with Qin Dada, I stood at the top of Xianyang City to watch the meteor shower... Well, the fireworks are romantic and warm.

"Lidian, Lidian is not good!"

Just as Chen Xu and Yu Wuya were tasting different flavors of malt sugar next to each other like little squirrels, a boy stumbled into the outside of the yard, shouting pale and pale.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xu quickly threw down the malt sugar in his hand and walked over.

This young man is a helper in the papermaking workshop. He is so anxious. Could it be that the papermaking workshop has caught fire? Chen Xu couldn't help but look up in the direction of the papermaking workshop, but he did not see any traces of fireworks.

"Lord Lidian is in trouble. Someone rushed into the papermaking workshop regardless of the obstacles and killed... Niu Xiaosi!"

"What?" Chen Xu's face changed drastically. He pulled off the reins from the horse stake and turned over the horse. He whipped it hard and rushed out of the brewing shop and headed straight for the papermaking shop.

"My benefactor, wait for me!" Yu Wuya quickly rode his horse and chased him from behind. Almost at the same time, an emergency sound of gongs sounded at the west end of the town. Countless people working immediately threw down their things and ran towards the west end of the town. At the same time, there were also continuous roars.

"My benefactor, what happened?" Yu Wuya caught up with Chen Xu and asked.

Chen Xu shook his head with an ugly face, "I don't know yet, you should inform Xu Fu first and ask him to bring his first aid kit to the papermaking workshop!"

"No, I want to protect my benefactor!" Yu Wuya shook his head firmly and refused.

Chen Xu couldn't do so, so he had to shout a few orders to a villager on the roadside, and the villager immediately turned around and ran to the health center.

Because of water pollution, the papermaking workshop was built in the lower reaches of Xiaoqing River, facing Chi County, and is more than 200 meters away from the west end of the town. However, when Chen Xu and Yu Wuya arrived on horseback, they found that the scene was already in chaos. Countless villagers surrounded the papermaking workshop, and there were also sounds of Ping-Pong weapons fighting and roaring.

"Does go!" Chen Xu roared anxiously. After seeing the villagers outside, they shouted that Lidian had come, and then suddenly dodged a path. Chen Xu rushed straight into the papermaking workshop. Then he saw a burly man in gray coat fighting fiercely with Youjiao Liupo. Behind the gray coat, there were four people riding on horses. One of the young men, Chen Xu, recognized it at a glance. He turned out to be Ma Teng, the nephew of Nanyang County Ma Boyuan. He was the guy who burned his head with a brazier in Wancheng last time. Next to Ma Teng, he was next to Ma Teng.

There was a young man in a delicate lilac brocade dress, about twenty years old, wearing a purple jade crown, neatly combed with delicate features, fair skin, and at first glance he thought he was a woman, and his aura and dress were definitely not as simple as ordinary rich young men. He was even much more powerful than Ma Teng, a playboy who was calling the wind and rain in Wancheng. There were two tall horses behind them, and there were two burly men wearing gray clothes and big swords on the back of the horse, and they looked exactly like the momentum of the guy fighting against Liu Po ​​in the field.

Liu Po ​​is Youjiao, Qinghe Town. He has a fourth-level military merit and has also been on the battlefield to kill many butchers. Although his sword skills are average, he has a big waist and a round waist. Every move is full of power, but his opponent is even more powerful than him. Not only is his body flexible, but he also waves his sword with one hand, fighting with Liu Po ​​like a monkey. His moves are extremely practical, and he easily resolves Liu Po's attack like a splash of water.

Not far from the two of them fighting, a young man in shorts and shorts was lying on the ground. Blood had formed a pool of blood under his body, and it seemed that there was no breath.

"Puff~" When Chen Xu rushed in, Liu Po ​​was suddenly distracted and was slashed on the blade by his opponent. Accompanied by a loud noise of gold and iron, Liu Po ​​groaned and stepped back for seven or eight steps, then opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood. The big sword in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang. At the same time, a stream of blood was soaked out from his right chest.

"Wuya, take them down!" Chen Xu didn't have time to ask, so he jumped off his horse and ran straight to Niu Xiaosi lying on the ground. When he opened it, he saw a wound on his neck, his carotid artery was cut, and he had already lost all his vital signs.

"Who are you..." The man in gray who had just fought with Liu Po ​​opened his mouth and shouted before he could finish his shouting. He saw Yu Wuya jumping down from the horse's back, like a leaf floating in the air, and instantly landing in front of him. At the same time, the black sword in his hand also slashed down fiercely.

The man in gray waved his sword in a hurry to block it, but the black sword in Yu Wuya's hand silently drew a piece of black in the air and appeared on his wrist and gently picked it up.
