　　 Chapter 23 Iron Pan and Sugar

　　 "It is arc-shaped, surrounded by a thin layer of iron, which will be put on the fire for cooking..."

　　 "In short, the iron pot I mentioned is roughly like this." Bruno handed over the sketch that he had drawn at random.

　　 The blacksmith carefully took the drawing from Bruno and took a closer look: "The villain can do it too, but it will take some time..."

　　 "As soon as possible, if you do well, you will naturally be rewarded."

　　 "Thank you, master." The blacksmith said gratefully.

　　 I picked up the wine sent by Liszt and tasted it. The taste was good, slightly dry, but it was no different from the wine on earth.

　　 It's just that Bruno doesn't like the dry taste of wine very much. He prefers mellow white wine, which is much more comfortable to drink.

　　 Thinking of this, Bruno suddenly remembered the beet roots he had seen in the kitchen.

　　 Why... Try to make sugar while you are free now?

Although 　　 beets are not widely distributed in Idalling, there are some, but most people simply eat them as vegetables, just to make beet soup.

　　 After all, even on earth, sugar beet sugar appeared much later than sugar cane sugar.

　　Different from salt, which is a necessities of life, sugar is a complete luxury in this world, and only the aristocracy can enjoy it.

　　Because in this world, the only way to get sugar seems to be through harvesting natural honey in the wild and squeezing sugar from sugar cane.

　　 However, there is no sugar cane in the eastern part of the Norman Empire, not even the eastern part of the Empire, at least in Bruno's impression, there is no sugar cane producing area in the entire Norman Empire.

　　 If the nobles wanted to eat sugar, they would either hire people to find wild honey in the wild, or go to the southern neighbor of the Norman Empire—the Kingdom of Basel to purchase.

　　The Kingdom of Basel is located in the southeast of the Norman Empire, not far from the Idar Territory. It is the main producing area of ​​sugar cane, and a large amount of sugar is exported to the Norman Empire every year.

　　 But it is precisely because of this that the price of sugar has remained high.

　　 "Liszt, let someone collect all the beetroots in the kitchen... Forget it, let me go straight ahead..."

　　 The second arrival of Lord Earl still made the cooks of the castle a little uneasy, but it was also much stronger than at the beginning, at least it wouldn't become frantic all of a sudden.

　　 Hearing that Lord Earl came for the beet roots, the cooks were relieved and quickly removed all the beet pieces accumulated in the kitchen.

　　 "So many?" Bruno was surprised as he watched the pile of beet roots placed in front of him.

　　 "In return to the master, the price of beets is very low, so there are a lot of them in the kitchen."

　　 "This saves trouble, you can take action now, and I will squeeze all the beets to the lord."

　　 "Juicing?"

　　 "Hmm." Bruno nodded.

　　 Juicing is actually not a hassle. There are special appliances in the kitchen. It is rare to squeeze all so many beet roots... However, since it is my master’s order, it is desperate to complete it.

　　 The cooks and servants in the kitchen all went into battle. Some were in charge of washing the beets and some were in charge of running the machine. After a while, the red beet juice came out from the side of the machine.

　　 Then it was filtering and heating. Bruno found the gauze he used for filtering. After repeating it back and forth several times, the beet juice looked a little sticky.

　　 Bruno took a spoon and took a sip. The taste of beet juice in the mouth is not very delicious, but it already has a slight sweetness.

　　 "You taste it?" Bruno greeted Liszt.

　　 Liszt carefully scooped a spoon and tasted it, his eyes gradually widened: "Sweet! This is sweet!"

As soon as 　　's words fell, the servants present also stared wide-eyed. Is this... Sugar water?

　　 Does the sugar beet actually contain sugar?

　　 My master’s operation is more and more unpredictable...

　　 However, the sugar produced in this way is only brown sugar, and the taste and appearance are not as good as white sugar.

　　 Activated carbon adsorption is usually used on the earth, and the so-called activated carbon can actually be replaced by charcoal or mud.

　　 Although it is winter and it is time to burn fire to keep warm, there is no charcoal in the castle. After all, incompletely burning charcoal will produce toxic gas.

　　If he needed charcoal, he had to go to the vicinity of the blacksmith's workshop to beg for it. However, Bruno didn't want to wait, so he ordered people to find a pile of mud and poured it into the brown sugar water.

　　All the people present are looking at me, I look at you, a little confused, the original good brown sugar water...Why do you want to pour mud on it? It's really bad...

　　 However, with constant stirring, the dark red sugar water gradually faded away from the dark coat and slowly became clear.

　　 When the sedimentation is almost complete, it will start to filter, so as to precipitate out all the soil originally poured in the sugar water.

　　 After going back and forth many times, only clear sugar water is left.

　　 The next steps are very simple, just cook slowly with fire, but at this step, Bruno suddenly realized a very serious problem, his iron pot has not yet settled!

　　 Looking at the clear sugar water on one side, Bruno was a little bit eager to cry without tears.

　　 But... Bruno looked around, the crock pot used to make soup on weekdays... It should work well too.

　　 The process of boiling is extremely long, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com Bruno hadn't been staring here, so he ordered Liszt to look after him, and went back to the study to sort out books on magic.

　　 About the evening, Liszt finally knocked on Bruno's door.

　　 "Master, white sugar is made!"

　　 went downstairs excitedly, but he didn't expect that Old Ford was there. A group of people were gathered around a table, probably looking at sugar.

　　 "Master."

　　 Seeing Bruno coming, Old Ford couldn’t wait to ask: "This white sugar... really got it from that beet?"

　　 "Of course. Hey, you guys get out of the way...Let the Sir Alex see what the white sugar made by himself looks like..."

　　Pulling aside a few servants, Bruno saw a small pile of sugar gathered together.

　　 I dipped it with my hand and put it in my mouth. It tasted good, the familiar taste.

　　 "About how much is this?"

　　 "A little more than two catties."

　　 "So little? Did you steal it?" Bruno asked, in his impression, he used a big bucket of beet juice.

　　 "It's a lot, sir. It's very good to be able to produce so much sugar." Old Ford defended the panicked servant.

　　While speaking, he saw Bruno twist some sugar into his mouth.

　　 "Master..."

　　 The old Ford on the side looked a little distressed, and quickly wrapped the sugar in paper.

　　 "These candies can be exchanged for a lot of things, master eat less."

　　 "What are you afraid of? Since there is a way to make sugar, I am afraid that there will be no sugar in the future? Taking advantage of the free time these days, I plan to personally participate...Uh, no, I personally supervise and build a sugar workshop."
