I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congyi picked out a few of the weaker ones from the basket and fed them to the rabbits, leaving the remaining ones that were larger and more uniform. Looking at the beets on the ground, Xu Congyi felt that it was not enough. Just as he said he wanted to dig some more, Xu Congwen, who had gone up the mountain to cut grass, walked into the courtyard.

Seeing his elder brother coming back, Xu Cong'an hurriedly asked him to go to the pig radish field with him again, and told his elder brother the news that his sister said that sugar could be made from pig radish. Xu Congwen was also surprised, but when he heard that it was a method in the magical book, he ran to the vegetable field with his brother without hesitation.

With her older brother and younger brother digging beets, Xu Congyi's only job was to wash them. She found a brush that hadn't been used for a long time in the utility room, which was perfect for washing the beets. After she had just brushed a few, she realized, why bother with the effort? Wouldn't it be enough to just wash and peel the beets?

Xu Congyi didn't know how to use the big kitchen knife here to peel the fruits, so she had no choice but to call her grandmother and mother out.

After hearing Xu Congyi say that pig radishes can be used to make sugar, Xu's mother and Li Dahua showed the same unbelievable expressions as the two brothers, but they quickly adjusted themselves and started peeling the pig radishes.

Both Xu's mother and Li Dahua were good at work. After a while, all the beets on the ground were peeled. At this time, the two brothers also came back from digging beets. Xu Congyi asked them to wash the beets peeled by their grandmother and mother with water. Then she took out the grating tools at home from the kitchen and grated the washed beets one by one. Everyone in the courtyard divided the work and cooperated with each other, and they were busy with their own work. For a while, the courtyard was quiet and no one chatted.

Peeling and washing the beets takes a short time, but grating them is a strenuous job. The other four people had finished, but Xu Congyi's hands were sore after grating only four. He looked at the basin and saw that there were still thirty beets that needed to be shredded.

Seeing Xu Congyi looking embarrassed, Xu's mother and Li Dahua directly brought out the chopping board from the kitchen. The two of them cut the meat into shreds faster than Xu Congyi who was using a grater, and they finished cutting in a short while.

All that was left was the physical work, so Li Dahua called her husband out to listen to her daughter's instructions.

Xu Congyi found the largest piece of gauze in the house and put the shredded beets on the gauze. It would take four or five times to finish shredding all the beets.

Xu tied the mouth of the pot with gauze and went to the kitchen with his father. The next step was to squeeze the juice directly into the pot, saving the trouble of pouring it out one by one in basins.

Hunter Xu had great strength in his hands, and it didn't take long before the shredded beets were turned into beet pulp after being squeezed by his big hands. The pulp couldn't be wasted, so Xu Congyi poured some water into the mixture and stirred it, then asked Hunter Xu to squeeze out the juice. He did this several times until the beets were squeezed into a beet pulp ball, which could be used to feed chickens, so there was no waste at all.

There was already a large pot full of beet juice in the pot, and Old Man Xu also came to help light the fire. The beet juice at this time contained too much water, so it needed to be boiled over a high fire to evaporate the water vapor.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the beet juice in the pot began to boil, bubbling.

It boiled for half an hour, during which Xu Congyi kept stirring with a spoon. When he felt that the juice had become thick, he asked his grandfather to remove some firewood. You can't be in a hurry to boil the sugar at this time. If the fire is too high, the sugar will easily be overcooked and have a burnt and bitter taste, so you need to use a low fire and do it slowly.

After another half an hour, the beet juice in the pot was already very thick, and there was not much beet syrup left in the pot. She stirred it with a spatula, and the syrup hung on the spatula and was not easy to fall off. Xu Congyi picked up a chopstick and stuck it vertically into the pot. Seeing that the chopstick stood upright, Xu Congyi knew that it was almost done. Then she licked it with her tongue. It was very sweet. The sugar was boiled successfully! At this time, turn off the fire and the syrup can be taken out of the pot.

Xu Congyi asked his grandfather to find a few wooden boxes and sprinkled some flour inside to prevent sticking. He didn't know if it would work. Xu Congyi used a shovel to put the syrup into the boxes. He put five boxes in total. He didn't plan to wash off the remaining syrup stuck in the pot and on the shovel with a pot scrubber. Instead, he planned to put some water in and boil it. This way it would be easier to wash and he could still drink the delicious syrup.
