That’s right, watermelons are used to make sugar! There are so many watermelons there, it’s time to take out the ones that are overripe or not good-looking and make sugar!
Thinking about this, Qin Di also planned to go to the carrots early tomorrow morning and directly pick out the crooked and cracked dates in the watermelons. The sun is so strong now, so the watermelon juice can be dried on the wooden board casually.
It becomes sugar.
It's just that the sugar yield of watermelon is not very high, and it is certainly far behind compared to sugar cane and beet.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Dayuan Dynasty is not very perfect in sugar production now.
There are three main types of sugar: preserves made from honey, maltose made from grain crops, and sucrose made from sugar cane, which is unique to the southern region.
Anyway, no matter which kind, they are particularly expensive. As for beets, in her current knowledge, it seems that she doesn't know where beets exist.
She pursed her lower lip, considering the current situation, it might be more reliable for her to rely on watermelon to make sugar.
Either it's sugar cane, or I don't know if sugar cane can be grown here. After all, sugar cane is the main force in sugar production, even in modern times.
She had never heard of anyone growing sugar cane here in Bianjing, and she wasn't sure if sugar cane could be grown here.
After planting sugar cane, in addition to selling it as fruit, the most important thing is to make sugar, all kinds of sucrose. This also requires finding a special sugar making master and building a professional sugar factory...
Tickling her chin, the people who went out while Qin Di was still thinking came back one by one.
"Miss, can the water be poured directly here?" Chun Xing's voice sounded, and the woman was seen holding a large bucket of water in her hand. It is probably not easy to carry it.
Nodded, followed Chun Xing to hold the bucket, and only heard the sound of "wow", and the water poured into the large basin filled with pine needle leaves in front of Qin Di.
Clean the pine needles first.
While Qin Di was cleaning the pine needles, she asked Chun Xing to get the drain basket and prepare the drinking water that would be poured into the jar later.
Before he had finished cleaning the pine needles, Qin Cheng came over with a bunch of bottles and cans. At a glance, he could see that they were all bottles and cans with seals.
"Miss, the things have been brought. Are these enough?" He carefully placed all the bottles and jars in his hands on the ground.
Qin Di took one look and nodded, "Okay, help me look at the pine needles over there. Shake the water dry and stuff it into the bottles and jars." Pointing to the cleaned pine needles placed next to it.
Draining basket for leaves.
When Qin Cheng saw this, although he still didn't understand what Qin Di wanted to do, he still nodded cooperatively.
Then he started doing what Qin Di said.
After about a few jars of okra came back, I saw her running all the way over, and stopped in front of Qin Di, looking out of breath.
"Miss, I just bought these candies, are they enough?" She took out the things in her arms.
It was indeed fine sugar, but it still seemed to have some impurities, not the white sugar she imagined.
And this amount...
Looking at the small wooden box in Okra's hand, he roughly gestured at the height of the things inside. It should be barely enough.
He nodded gently, "It's almost done, let's do these first."
Anyway, she didn't plan to make much sparkling water, she just wanted to try it out first.
Sprinkle the fine sugar evenly into the bottles and jars with pine needles, pour in the drinking water prepared by Chun Xing, then seal and store for a few days to see the results.
