Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 74 74. Syrup and Sorghum

A circle of condolences to the barracks.

Zhang Qi was very satisfied with the spirit of these servants under his command.

After dozens of days of rigorous training, they are now bloody soldiers.

The subtext of loyalty in this era is food, money, and power.

It just so happens that these Zhang Qis can satisfy them, and can also give them a set of specialties that others cannot give.

'True' beliefs.

The monthly 'advent day' allowed Zhang Qi to completely implant the majesty of the gods in the hearts of all his subjects.

Real miracles are more convincing than previous illusory legends.

Reward with one hand and faith with the other.

Under the double comfort of material and spirit, it is not difficult for Zhang Qi to imagine what kind of fighting power these people will explode in the future battles.

Two or three days passed in a row.

The farmland in the 'Zuotai Village' in the world of Q&B has matured twice.

Zhang Qi went in once after the first sorghum matured.

Qi Rengao's sorghum field is very spectacular, with an average of 500 mu of land, each mu brings him [-] catties of sorghum ears.

And the income from [-] mu is nearly [-] catties of sorghum rice.

Zhang Qi was greatly shocked. This was already close to the yield per mu of the era he lived in before. Although the close value was very low, it far exceeded the yield per mu of all crops during the Han and Hungarian period.

We must know that in this era, if the output of one mu of land can reach 200 catties, it is good land, and if it can reach [-] catties, it is God's pity.

And the output of Zhang Qi's farmland in "Zuotai Village" in the world of riding and hacking has more than doubled that of the outside world.

I just don't know if these sorghum rice can achieve such a high yield when planted outside.

Zhang Qi didn't know, he had to wait until the beginning of spring to get a piece of his own land and try planting it.

If these sorghum can still achieve high output value in the outside world, let alone five hundred catties, as long as one mu of land can produce more than 300 catties, he will laugh half to death.

Suotai's farmland produced nearly [-] catties of sorghum rice, and the most important sorghum is not 'ear'.

But rods and leaves!
On two hundred acres of land, the average income per acre of stems and leaves is more than ten thousand catties, and the income of two hundred acres is almost, two million catties!

This is a good source of silage.

Only now did Zhang Qi clearly understand why sorghum was able to save a country in that special era.

Plant it, too cost-effective!

It is a pity that the full maturity of sorghum takes away most of the sugar in the sorghum stalks. At this time, the sweet stalks are not sweet at all, and there is not much water left, so they can only be used as green storage.

But if you asked Zhang Qi to take out the 200 million catties of green reserves, it was a dream, and he didn't even have that many dinars after selling him.

I can only stay in the world of riding and cutting, and see if the market accepts it. If the market does not accept it, then the 200 million catties of stems and leaves can only be used as firewood.

It's a pity that the market doesn't want these things that are worth more than the garbage on the robbers.

After harvesting the first batch of sorghum, Zhang Qi immediately planted the second batch.

If Zhang Qi still wanted to know the yield of the first batch of sorghum, he didn't need to wait for the second batch of sorghum to mature.

What he wants is sweet sticks.

It is used to make sugar to speed up the physical recovery of those soldiers from outside.

The sweet bar has many uses, whether it is making syrup or wine, it can get a lot of output, and even the residue after use can be used as a papermaking raw material.

So Zhang Qi reappeared after the No. 20 riding and cutting time after the second batch of sorghum entered the farmland.

With the wolf cubs and craftsmen, 180 million catties of sweet stalks and more than 20 catties of sorghum branches and leaves were harvested.

The candy has started.

Zhang Qi had long asked those craftsmen who came to the world of riding and cutting to build squeezing equipment, and they also built the juicer on the blueprint drawn by Zhang Qi.

Two cylindrical iron columns are fixed on a frame, and through the linkage of gears and animal belts, they can run in two different directions at the same time.

This is the simplest juicer, as long as you keep shaking the handle, the machine can rotate and squeeze the sweet bar.

With the equipment, Zhang Qi led people to squeeze the juice non-stop in the world of riding and slashing.

After nearly two months of intermittent riding and hacking, Zhang Qi and the others squeezed more than 180 million catties of sweet sticks into sugar water.

More than 200 barrels were filled with wooden barrels that can hold 4000 kilograms.

The sugar water is nearly 80 catties. Of course, the sweetness of this sugar water is not high. Zhang Qi tasted it, and there is only a trace of sweetness, just like boiled water mixed with white sugar.

It still needs to be processed and boiled to get the syrup. If 80 catties of sweet water can be used to produce more than [-] catties of syrup, Zhang Qi will be very satisfied.

Syrup is not white sugar, it cannot be solidified, it is just a viscous sugar liquid.

Maybe Zhang Qi's previous era had technology that could convert syrup into solid white sugar or brown sugar, but Zhang Qi couldn't do it yet.

After another ten days of riding and hacking the world, Zhang Qi let out a sigh of relief looking at the thick, rosy, honey-like paste in the pot.

During this period of time, he worked with several craftsmen to research, and finally found out a set of sugar-making processes.

The conversion ratio of sweet water to syrup is about twenty catties to one catty, which is already the highest ratio of sugar that Zhang Qi and the others have found out.

After boiling all the sweet water into syrup, more than 80 catties of sweet water brought Zhang Qi [-] catties of syrup.

Although it was far lower than the expected [-] jin, Zhang Qi was satisfied.

Because he found that the market does not accept the straw that can be used as green storage material, but the syrup can be sold for [-] dinars per catty in the market.

It seems that the NPCs in the world of riding and hacking also love candy.

In the yurt, Zhang Qi appeared to the outside world with five buckets of sugar syrup totaling a thousand catties.

More than five months in the world of riding and hacking, but less than six days have passed in the outside world.

The thousand catties of syrup and the weight of the barrel cost Zhang Qi more than 11 dinars.

Small money, not worth mentioning!
Now Zhang Qi has two profitable businesses in the world of riding and hacking.

Strike the iron, boil the sugar!
Over the past two years, Sokal's blueprints have been produced more and more, and the two-handed sword he has created can sell for five or six thousand.

And the newly produced syrup can also be sold at a high price of one hundred dinars per catty in the market.

Huqin's caravan is already busy, there are traces of her caravan in every corner of the mainland, on average, it can bring Zhang Qi tens of thousands of dinars in income per day, deducting the salary of the troops , Zhang Qi now earns more than 13 dinars a day in the world of riding and hacking, and nearly two million dinars a month.

It's not that Zhang Qi's math grades were poor and he miscalculated, but that Hutching also needs time to come back to replenish the goods. By the way, the towns in the world of riding and hacking also need some time to recover funds.
