I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 298

  Chapter 298 Master Ji, try it?

   “Experiment?” Shen Dalang scratched his head, his simple and honest face was full of puzzlement.

   “Doesn’t our family have sugar cane! Let’s try it first, find a way to extract sugar from the sugar cane, and then add it to the pastry, try it.”

   “Yes!” Shen Dalang patted his head hastily, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

  Ji Zhao glanced at him in a daze, and asked with concern, “Brother, doesn’t your head hurt?”

  The slap that Shen Dalang slapped himself on the forehead just now was really a bit heavy.

“fine.”

   Shen Dalang grinned at her.

   After finishing his breakfast, Shen Dalang went to his field to bring a bundle of sugar cane.

  Ji Zhao thought about it, and made a preliminary and simple plan.

“Actually, I have read some books related to crops before.” Shen Yao walked to her side and said softly, “There are only three methods currently available to extract sucrose from sweet cane, namely pressing , oozing, and grinding.”

   “Yes!” Ji Zhao snapped his fingers in agreement, and then rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, “I just don’t know which way to extract the sugar will be more pure?”

“Didn’t you already have an idea just now?” Shen Yao nodded fondly on the tip of her nose, “Left and right are only in the experimental stage now, why can’t you try every method? Only after comparison can you choose Come up with the best way!”

   “That’s right!” Ji Zhao’s eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Shen Yao with eyes full of admiration and appreciation, “My husband is still amazing!”

   Shen Yao, who was praised by her, had a deeper smile in his eyes.

   It took two days, and after a series of comparisons, Ji Zhao discovered that the sucrose extracted from sweet cane by pressing is more pure.

  After tasting some pastries made with this cane sugar, Shen Dalang immediately decided to open a sugar factory.

  Ji Zhao and Shen Yao helped to select a site and purchase related equipment. Until the end of June, Xinglong Sugar Factory officially opened.

   And the weather during this time has become more and more sultry.

   County magistrate Ji has also started to purchase grain on a large scale. Although the price given is 10% lower than in previous years, it is much better than other counties.

  After entering July, cracks appeared in the fields of several villages in Dingyuan County.

  The night of the first day of July is destined to be an unusual night.

   Locusts have crossed the border!

As early as three days ago, Ji Zhao and Shen Yao thought of an excuse for the land father-in-law to entrust their dreams, so that everyone should remember to lock the doors and windows and not go out, so when the locusts passed by, the folks in Shiliu Village and Shanghe Village locked the doors and windows in advance .

   Even so, many families were affected.

   After all, where the locusts pass through, not a single blade of grass grows!

   On the third day, the locust plague became more and more serious, and Ji Tingan became more and more anxious.

  But he thought of what Ji Zhao had said in advance, and specially assigned a group of yamen servants to catch locusts.

   Tens of thousands of locusts passed through Dingyuan County this time. In just five days, the officials caught a whole 300 catties of locusts!

   Until the tenth day of July, the locusts that filled the sky finally subsided.

   Ji Zhao and his wife were also invited to the county government by Ji Tingan.

   “Thanks to your previous proposal, the locust plague in Dingyuan County is much better than other places.” Ji Tingan stood in front of the two and bowed from the bottom of his heart.

   “Master Ji, please get up!” Shen Yao hurriedly supported his sleeve, sideways avoiding his salute.

   “No, you can stand my gift.” Ji Tingan said firmly, “If you hadn’t discovered the clues in the “Da Jing Zhi” in advance, the situation in our Dingyuan County will definitely be more serious!”

“Master Ji, it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the territory!” Ji Zhao said with a smile, “As the people of the Dajing Dynasty, we should do our best to contribute our own strength when the country is in need. Responsibility!”

  Ji Tingan’s eyes turned red when he heard these words, “Mrs. Shen really is a woman who won’t let her eyebrows down!”

“However, Mr. Ji, although the number of locusts passing through the border has decreased, we still can’t relax.” Ji Zhao said seriously, “After all, the ability of locusts to reproduce is really too strong! So we must take measures during this period of time. Guard.”

   “I understand.” Ji Tingan nodded lightly, “By the way, Mrs. Shen, you asked me to arrange people to catch those locusts. What is the purpose?”

   “Actually, locusts can also be eaten.” Ji Zhao said with a shallow smile, “The reason why I remind adults to catch those locusts is very simple. We can taste the taste of locusts.”

  Ji Tingan’s eyes widened in surprise, “Locusts… can they be eaten?”

  He is really unheard of!

   “When I make the fried locusts, Mr. Ji, you will know how delicious this dish is!”

  Ji Zhao explained with a smile, “Actually, locusts are quite common. Have you ever heard of grasshoppers?”

   “Yes.” Ji Tingan nodded slightly.

   “In fact, locusts are grasshoppers, but their scientific name is locusts, and once grasshoppers appear in groups, we will call them locusts.”

  Ji Tingan suddenly realized, “Is that so?”

“Actually, deep-fried grasshoppers are a very delicious dish, and it’s not difficult to make, but this dish is more particular about the raw materials of the oil, and the best is to use peanut oil.” Ji Zhao explained with a smile, “Master Ji , you and my husband will wait for a while? I will go to the kitchen to make a deep-fried grasshopper for you to try?”

   Ji Tingan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was a good idea.

  If locusts can be eaten, maybe some other problems can be solved.

  Because Ji Zhao had warned in advance, Ji Tingan had already prepared some locusts.

Put those fresh grasshoppers in a basin in advance to ventilate them for two days in advance. After they have drained their feces, put them directly in a boiling water pot to scald them to death, then remove their heads, navels, wings and internal organs, and finally put the treated Pour the locusts into a pot with salt water, boil over low heat, remove and drain.

   Watching this scene, Ji Tingan was a little surprised. He felt that no matter who dealt with such an ugly locust, the picture should be ugly; but Ji Zhao was extremely graceful before raising his hands and feet.

  Ji Tingan did not expect that one day he would put the words locust and elegance into one sentence.

   “A Tao, the oil pan is 40% hot.” Shen Yao picked up a chopstick and put it into the oil pan. After feeling the oil temperature, he said softly.

“it is good!”

  Ji Zhao smiled and poured the treated locusts into the oil pan.

   Thorn it!

   There was a sizzling sound from the oil pan, and a strong aroma filled the air.

  Afterwards, Ji Zhao fished out the fried locusts, added some spices to it, put it on a plate and handed it to Ji Tingan, and said with a faint smile, “Master Ji, try it?”
