Chapter 33 Sugar Making

"What materials do you need? I'll get them for you right away!"

Bai Zhancheng can't wait to see the birth of Baitang.

"It's best to have ready-made brown sugar. If not, use sugar cane. If you don't even have sugar cane, beetroot will do."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Bai Zhancheng ordered his subordinates to purchase the raw materials needed to make sugar.

"General, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Lin Xiao knew that he had to go back and make some yellow mud water in advance.

She vaguely remembered that if she wanted to make white sugar from brown sugar, she only needed to use yellow mud to decolorize it.

The principle is to rely on the adsorption of yellow mud. Of course, activated carbon or charcoal can also be used.

However, the yield of white sugar produced with activated carbon and charcoal is not as high as that produced with yellow mud water.

"Brother Lin, I wonder if I can chat with your wife alone for a while?"

"Ai?"

Why did Bai Zhancheng chat with Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan) alone?

What do they have to talk about?

Could it be that Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan) is the prime minister?

It would be great if Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan) also has a good impression of him!

She finally no longer has to feel guilty about Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan).

"Since the general has something to say to the bitch, I will go down first."

After that, Lin Xiao walked out of the tent with brisk steps and returned home.

Li Yuyan lowered his head and looked at the figure approaching him step by step. His whole nerves were tense, and his hand involuntarily moved to his waist where the dagger was hidden.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

…

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Li Yuyan could clearly hear his own rapidly beating heartbeat.

"Ninth Prince, you are welcome and safe!"

Li Yuyan suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and met Bai Zhancheng's familiar yet unfamiliar eyes.

"I guessed it right, you really are Brother Yu Yan!"

Bai Zhancheng was about to reach out to pat Li Yuyan's arm, but Li Yuyan cleverly avoided it.

"The general admitted the wrong person."

"Admit your mistake?"

Bai Zhancheng's eyes turned cold, and he immediately snatched the dagger from Li Yuyan's waist:

"This is the gift I gave you back then. Who else but Brother Yu Yan is qualified to wear it?!"

Li Yuyan:......

Bai Zhancheng put the dagger in Li Yuyan's hand:

"When I lost news about you, I thought you had encountered something unexpected. Now that I see that you are safe and sound, I feel relieved."

Li Yuyan sneered: "Do you think I will still believe your words?"

"Brother Yu Yan, you misunderstood me!"

"Tell me how I misunderstood my good brother!"

Li Yuyan sat down on the front seat angrily.

He was hunted down by people sent by Bai Zhancheng until he almost died. Is this a misunderstanding?

This is simply unbelievable bullshit!

"When the Holy One threatened the lives of my whole family, I had no choice but to do it. However, I had already secretly told you that I would not harm you after I caught you, and that I would send you safely to the border. I have already made arrangements there.

."

"Should I believe what you say or shouldn't I?"

Li Yuyan said leisurely.

His current mood is surprisingly calm, without even any disturbance.

"What do I need to do for you to believe me?"

"Accompany me to Qingjun's side, and I will trust you!"

When Bai Zhancheng heard this, his whole face suddenly turned dark.

Qingjun side, isn't that a complete rebellion?!

"The current imperial court is dark and unclear, and the emperor is ignorant and ignorant. How long does General Bai think the Great Xia Dynasty, which is strong on the outside and incapable of doing things on the inside, can last?"

Li Yuyanyou said.

Bai Zhancheng fell silent.

Li Yuyan is right. Since Li Yuquan succeeded to the throne and became emperor, he has not made any new achievements. He has been staying in the harem all day long and has no time for government affairs.

All these political affairs fell into the hands of some treacherous officials.

They wantonly amass money without caring whether the poor people are living in dire straits.

When dealing with foreign invasions, we tolerated them for a long time, only to cede territory and seek peace.

Rather than guarding a foolish emperor, it would be better to establish a truly talented new emperor!

"……what's your plan?"

After a while, Bai Zhancheng asked.

"The second emperor's brother, Li Yuquan, is a kind-hearted person and is the best candidate for succession. I think it is most suitable for him to replace Li Yuquan as emperor."

"I thought you……"

"Do you think I want to be an emperor?" Li Yuyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "My dream is to live in seclusion in the countryside with the one I love. Being a country villager is also a very happy thing!"

For example, days like now.

The two chatted for a while and finally resolved the misunderstanding for many years and reconciled as before.

Bai Zhancheng's subordinates worked very efficiently, and soon they bought back the brown sugar on the market.

Lin Xiao followed the steps in memory, boiled the brown sugar with water, and then placed it in a funnel wrapped in cotton cloth.

Then pour the yellow mud water in, and as the yellow mud water falls, a miracle occurs, and crystal clear white sugar slowly precipitates out of the funnel.

Bai Zhancheng looked at these white candies and felt his hair standing on end. It was incredible!

In just such a short time, sugar was produced. Lin Xiao was probably not a god in the sky, right?

"If you can get me sugar cane roots and I improve them, I will be able to produce more sugar in the future."

Lin Xiao said swornly.

"Is this true?"

“Realer than real gold!”

"Well, this matter will be taken care of by me. In the autumn, I will order someone to send you sugar cane roots!"

Bai Zhancheng really likes rare talents like Lin Xiao!

He also wanted to see how much sugar Lin Xiao's modified sugar cane could produce.

At dinner time, Bai Zhancheng was in a good mood and had a drink with Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan for the first time.

When did you eat meat and drink alcohol so heartlessly?

It seems that it was still when Li Yuyan was the Ninth Prince!

The wine of the Daxia Dynasty was rice wine brewed from pure grains, and its content was the same as that of local wine in later generations.

After one drink, Lin Xiao started to get tipsy. She raised her glass unsteadily and said to Bai Zhancheng:

"General, what do you think of my big, fat wife?"

Bai Zhancheng and Li Yuyan were a little confused by Lin Xiao's question.

Is this guy choosing a better home for his wife?

Bai Zhancheng nodded slightly: "Brother Lin, your wife is very good!"
