Chapter 329 Cane juice comes out

If sugarcane cannot be cooked into sugar quickly and effectively, it must be cut down and stored. You can find a shelter, rake the soil on the surface, and wet the soil to cover the sugarcane with straw thatch. This will almost extend the storage time of sugarcane by one more month.

There is no way to do this, otherwise the sugarcane will rot in the ground, which will be even more wasteful. Now Zhang himself cannot determine how much sugar can be. How much sugar can nearly 100 acres of sugarcane can produce in the end? The conversion of brown sugar into white sugar does not have precise instruments to stop losses and consumption, and they are all piled up with a large amount of costs.

The things were transported home, Liang Chuan called Zhaodi to help. The two of them carried the stone guy and were sweating profusely. They were placed in the middle of the backyard. The backyard is usually locked and not open to the public. This thing was basically assembled in half a day, and the formal construction only started the next day.

Sugar is made for people to eat. If there are too many idle people waiting, they are afraid that those who are interested will cause trouble and throw some poison into the sugarcane, causing food poisoning. All your efforts will be useless. If there are serious consequences, you have to go to prison. This is fun.

I don’t want to announce this method of making sugar to the public at this moment, and I will wait until I have enough money before I can announce it. So now that there are many people who know it now, it is inevitable that some people with ideas will come to make sugar to make. Isn’t that a business with me?

There is a stone hole in the middle of the stone stalk, which will place the vertical wood into the stone holes and then fix it between a wooden frame. The two stone stalks are like two extra-large prayer barrels, but one stone turns around, and the other stone stalks are driven to rotate as well because of the gears. The small crack between the two stone stalks is the place where sugarcane is pressed. The two huge stone stalks use the squeeze pressure to squeeze out the sugarcane juice bit by bit.

This combination is primitive, but very useful.

The cross-bone of the stone wing passes through the wooden frame, and a long sky pole is fixed on it. The other end of the sky pole is fixed on the back of the cow. The cow is driven to circle along the stone wing. Under the pull of the animal, the two stone wings will keep turning. If you use human power to rotate these two stone wings, the loss will be unimaginable.

In this era when the industry was extremely underdeveloped, there was no juicer from later generations. This was the most effective method of extracting sugarcane juice that Liang Chuan could think of. The advantage was that it was so easy to operate and had the conditions to achieve it himself. The disadvantages were also obvious. If the sugarcane was not pressed cleanly, there would be a lot of residues in the sugarcane juice.

Liang Chuan and Zhaodi were busy for a long time before they could barely assemble the sugar. Liang Chuan asked Zhaodi to find He Dali to ask the scalper to come back, and tried to use manpower to push the long sky pole.

"Brother, are you planning to grind tofu at home?" In Zhaodi's eyes, this is a grinding dish for grinding beans.

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Wait until you invite you to have something delicious."

"What's delicious? Is it better than sugar cane?"

"Do work first, you'll know later."

Liang Chuan took a lunge and exerted force from his waist. The two stone sluts chuckled and started sweating after pushing for a while. It can be seen how physically exhausting this matter is. Without a livestock like scalpers with extremely strong endurance, the sucrose would not be squeezed out, and it would be squeezed dry.

In fact, the most efficient one is not animal power, but also the power of nature or mechanical power. If the power of the water wheel can be used to squeeze juice, it will be much more useful than a few scalpers.

Fan Dianyuan and his team cut sugarcane for a day, and nearly three acres of sugarcane were cut out in one day. One acre of dried cane could cut out nearly five thousand kilograms of sugarcane! There were a lot of sugarcane like a hill. These canes seemed to be in a very large number, but in Liang Chuan's opinion, the yield of this sugarcane field was still too low compared to later generations.

Sugarcane is a crop that is not afraid of fertilizer or planting seedlings. The amount of fertilizer you put in can produce as much output. It can be said that hard work will bring you rewards.

If the farmer's fertilizer is in place, the most basic cow manure or poultry manure can produce 8,000 to 10,000 per mu. If the compound fertilizer is used, the output will be even more amazing. The highest farmer can produce 12,000 kilograms, which is twice the output of these sugarcane fields under the names of Liang Chuan and Zheng Ruoying. Of course, this yield must be based on the use of spray sweetening and thickening ingredient. These chemical synthetics are not available in this era.

I experienced a typhoon this year, and the people who planted sugarcane are all laymen who don’t even know what sugarcane is, so I just gave them some guidance.

The sugarcane varieties have not been improved now. They can be said to be the most primitive cane seedlings, and the survival rate is pitifully low. Under these restrictions, it has already made Liang Chuan overjoyed that it can obtain half of the output in later generations. According to the initial estimate, it would be great to produce three or four thousand kilograms of sugarcane.

With this year's experience, the yield of sugarcane planting next year will definitely be high or low, and there are a large amount of permaculture in the sugarcane field, which is more conducive to the growth of sugarcane. The problem of water and drought has been basically solved by Liangchuan, and the yield can still be expected.

Nearly three acres of sugarcane were collected in one day, and a large amount of them were left in the field to confiscate them. Liang Chuan asked Fan Dianyuan and the others to cover the cane leaves first so that the sun would not be too strong to dry the sugarcane into dried cane.

Some Fan Dianyuan and others were responsible for pulling cane and cutting cane. They were placing the cane into piles, and the yard in Wangxiang could not be piled up.

There was a yellow ox in the yard, with an ox yoke on it, which was connected to a thick and long wooden pole, and there was a millstone-like thing on the other end. Liang Chuan and Zhaodi were fiddling with the millstone, watching them not knowing it. The next day, when they continued to chop cane and transport sugarcane into Liang Chuan's backyard, Liang Chuan was already busy.

Liang Chuan snatched the sugar and washed it. Zhaodi found several huge wooden barrels. These were to be filled with cane juice later. There was also a hollowed-out bamboo that extended from the sugar-boiled room to the outside of the house. This function was similar to a water pipe. When the sugar juice was squeezed out, it was poured directly into the bamboo tube and flowed directly into the serial pot.

After everything was ready, Liang Chuan asked Zhao to drive the scalpers and stood in front of the sugar squid and "feed the cane". The sugarcane was a piece of land. Liang Chuan picked up a handful of sugarcane and inserted it between two stone croakers.

The stone croaker crazily, and it had a forward force to send the sugarcane forward. Under the squeezing of huge force, the sugarcane juice slowly flowed out and flowed along the stone croaker into the pressing pot.

"This thing can actually squeeze out the sugarcane water!" Zhaodi went over and dipped it in his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and he was about to jump up excitedly.

"How is it taste, is it sweet?"

Liang Chuan asked nervously that he had tried to enter the Constitution for the first time, and many aspects were crossing the river by feeling the stones, and he didn't know how to succeed.

"Sweet! Sweeter than local honey, the key is very fresh and not greasy!" Zhaodi is also a big child. He was also very surprised when he had eaten this dessert for the first time. He simply took a big sip of cane juice from the head-bed squeezer, which was so beautiful that he looked intoxicated.

The scalper was pulling the sky rod honestly and turned it. Zhaodi's head was just lying on the pressing basin. When he raised his head, he just hit him firmly, which made him grin.

"Be careful, don't just eat!"

Liang Chuan smiled and scolded, Zhaodi's biggest weakness is always this greedy person.

The scalper tirelessly pulled the stone steak. It was difficult for this big guy to move, but it would be smooth after it moved smoothly! The two of them watched the gushing sugar juice drier and became more and more vigorous. When Liang Chuan first saw the sugar trowel at the Xinghua Sugar Factory, he laughed and said, is it reliable to use a millstone to squeeze the sugar juice? Now, it is not only reliable, but also reliable.

The two of them tinkered in the backyard for an afternoon silently. Ye Xiaochai came to find Liang Chuan with nothing to do. They happened to see two people taking sugarcane into the stone mill.

"What are you doing?"

"Xiaochai, you are here just in time. Take a wooden bucket and use it to squeeze the pot to help me pick up the cane juice. The pot is almost full!"

The juice from these sugarcane is pretty good. After a while, the pressing pot under the stone flies was almost overflowing. Ye Xiaochai walked quickly, picked up the wooden barrel and quickly placed it under the pressing pot. The sugarcane juice flowed into the wooden barrel in a short while.

"What are these?" Ye Xiaochai asked curiously. When he smelled the nose, there was a faint fragrance. "Is it sugarcane juice?"

"Sister Xiaochai, take a sip, it tastes so sweet!" Zhaodi recommended to Xiaochai as if he was asking for credit.

Xiaochai tapped it gently half-believingly, and the moment she put it in her mouth, she suddenly felt that the world had become better. The taste was so delicious!

"This is really sugarcane juice! Can you finish drinking so much?" In Xiaochai's opinion, what else can this sugarcane juice besides drinking it? It's so big that it keeps flowing in the bucket. Even if it's water, the family can't finish it. It's sold in the store. It tastes beautiful, but it's impossible for someone to drink it every day.

"Drinking is a big deal, it's all money. I'm so hurting when I drink it. Xiaochai, come and feed the cane. I'll go to the house to make a fire!"

Liang Chuan was already anxious to make the candy, but he couldn't help but blurted out a swear word.

Ye Xiaochai pouted, took the handful of sugarcane unhappily, and clumsily snatched it into the sugar. It would be better not to watch the fun and come to work.

Fan Dianyuan and his friends are still delivering sugarcane here continuously. The squeezed bagasse is piled up in half a yard. These bagasses are also good things. When dried, they are just waiting for the fuel to cook sugar.

The bamboo connected to the indoor and outdoor of the sugar-boiling room has been set up, which is equivalent to a pipe. Liang Chuan lifted the wooden barrel and poured the cane juice into the bamboo. The cane juice slowly flowed along the bamboo into the iron pot.

After the five-tip serial pot was opened as the blacksmith's instructions, he was now lying quietly on the serial pot. The fresh cane juice flowed along the bamboo to the top and largest iron pot.
