Chapter 48
'Sure enough, the whole family is plotting against him, trying to use him as an old scalper, hmph, there is no way. '

Bai Anchen concealed the emotion in his eyes, and handed the fish to the fourth child again, "What mother gave you is yours, what do you want Lai Rang to do?"

'You bastard, you have bad intentions, what he calls being good is just a joke, and it's okay if he doesn't help cover up such a shameful thing, and he yells everywhere.I wish the whole pier knew that he couldn't survive his dignified life as a scholar, so he came to the pier to beg for a living. '

Bai Yunxi listened to their voices and finished breakfast in silence.

"Okay, I'm done eating. Mother will divide the work for you. An Chen performed well yesterday and earned two days' rations. Today, he will continue to work hard. The fourth child will follow, so that no one will bully brother."

Bai Anyi laughed, and nodded his head, "Don't worry, mother, as long as I'm here, I promise that no one will bully my brother."

'Of course, I won't let my elder brother be lazy. '

Bai Anchen pursed his lips, without even a chance to refute, the old lady turned her head to Bai Anyan.

"Second and fifth continue to open up wasteland, Mrs. Li stays, we have to boil all the beet heads we found yesterday, your sister-in-law and I are struggling, you stay and help."

After listening to Mother's arrangement, none of them had any objections.

Bai Anyi took the rations prepared by Du Shi and urged him directly, "Brother, let's go, we won't be able to get a number if we go late."

Bai Anchen clenched his fists, the soreness all over his body annoyed her, but seeing everyone's staring eyes, he gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to refuse.

Seeing the two of them go to the pier to fight against the bag, Bai Yunxi squinted his eyes. The boss is arrogant and selfish, and he is most afraid of being looked down upon by others.

"Mom, what are we going to do next?"

Bai Yunxi regained his senses, "Wash out the two pots, put water in the big pot, cut the beets into slices and cook them in."

Seeing Mrs. Du and Mrs. Li go to work according to her instructions, Bai Yunxi went back to the house, found a piece of clean cotton cloth, went to the utility room and pulled out some wooden sticks, and asked Mrs. Li to hammer them into the soil to fix them and filter the beet residue Slag use, save effort.

Mrs. Li worked quickly, cut and weighed a pot of beets in a short time, poured it into a large pot and boiled it, just like stewing radishes.

"Mother, can this really make sweet candy?"

"Yes, you will be able to smell the sugar in a while." Bai Yunxi checked the water in the pot, and then instructed Mrs. Li to cut up the rest of the beets.

Taking advantage of this gap, she found a few more grinding tools for making hair cakes, square ones, and cut them into pieces after drying them.

The number of beets is limited, so it is not worth making a grinder individually.

After a quick shot, I just took a breath when I heard Mrs. Li yelling,

"Mom, we really smell sugar."

Bai Yunxi walked over, picked up a piece with a strainer and tasted it, the sugar was almost boiled out.

"Use a strainer to fish out the beets, then squeeze out the water inside, and scoop it together with the remaining soup in the pot into another pot to continue boiling to evaporate the water."

Bai Yunxi instructed the two daughters-in-law to work, talking and demonstrating.

"Boiling sugar is a long process, and you need to have endurance. The more you get to the end, the more patience you have to keep stirring to prevent it from becoming mushy."

The vacated pan continued to be poured with beet juice, while the other began to collect the juice, concentrating the sugar.

When moving, in order to prevent insects from crawling in around the shack, Baiyunxi once asked the second child to ask Dr. Yang for some lime powder to sprinkle.
