After the sugar water became clear, Suhlen did not continue to stir it. He let the sugar water settle and then filtered out the charcoal.
A bucket of sugar water was about 20 liters. In order to turn the sugar water into sugar, it needed to be heated and the water in the sugar water evaporated. When the water was reduced to a certain level, there would be crystals.
Suhlen found an iron pot and poured the sugar water into it. He then lit a fire and slowly boiled it. As the temperature rose, the water in the sugar water began to evaporate.
The process of boiling the sugar was very slow. Suhlen watched for a while and felt bored. Fortunately, there was no problem with his method of boiling the sugar. After about an hour, some white granules began to appear at the bottom of the iron pot.
After seeing the white granules, Suhlen immediately became energetic. After the white sugar appeared, the speed of the sugar production began to accelerate. The fire continued to roast, and the sugar water in the iron pot boiled. More and more white crystals appeared in the iron pot.
The barbarian warrior next to him smacked his lips. "Boss, this sugar water is boiling. How did it freeze?"
"Idiot, don't talk if you don't know!" Suhlen glared at him.
As time went by, the sugar water in the iron pot became less and less, and the condensed sugar became more and more. Finally, after boiling for a while, there was no more white sugar in the pot, and Su Lun filtered the white sugar out.
The remaining sugar water was actually waste honey. Although it contained a lot of sugar, it could not be extracted due to technical reasons.
Waste honey had a high sugar content, but due to technical reasons, it could not be extracted. In the end, some people found that the waste honey could be used to make wine. Then, the new type of rum was born.
Using cotton gauze to filter out the waste honey, a pile of white granules appeared in the iron pot. They were white granules that looked like sand and snow. They were white granules.
The barbarians next to him did not know what it was. They all looked at the white sugar in amazement.
"Try it." Suhlen crossed his arms and raised his chin casually. But his act was in vain. These barbarians in the wilderness had never heard of white sugar before.
"It looks like ice crystals." One of the barbarians reached out his finger, dipped it into his mouth, and said in surprise, "It's sweet. Is this candy?"
Suhlen knocked the Barbarian's head with his spoon. "Nonsense, what else can it be if it's not sugar?"
"Boss, does that mean we'll have candies to eat in the future?" the barbarians asked excitedly.
"Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat. These are goods for trading!" Suhlen grabbed a handful of white sugar and looked at it. Compared to the white sugar he ate in his previous life, the white sugar in front of him was slightly yellowish. This should be because the filtering effect of the charcoal was not as strong. Even so, the quality of the white sugar was still very good.
Su Lun collected the white sugar and then weighed it. There was a total of more than three kilograms of white sugar. The boiling sugar water was 20 liters, which was about 40 kilograms. A total of three kilograms of white sugar was produced. Su Lun was very satisfied with the sugar yield.
Using this relatively primitive method to make white sugar, three catties of white sugar was already a lot. As far as Suhlen knew, the sugar yield in this era was only 5% to 7%, and the sugar produced was brown sugar.
Suhlen used one-fifth of the beetroot he brought back this time. After confirming the method to make white sugar, he squeezed all the remaining beetroot juice and made white sugar. In the end, he got fifteen catties of white sugar. After drying the fifteen catties of white sugar, he sealed it in a clay jar and stored it.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. You have successfully made white sugar and obtained the sugar production process."
"Congratulations to the host. You have successfully obtained three different techniques and successfully opened the technology column."
"Updating data … Update complete!"
Just as he sealed the white sugar, the system notification sounded in his ear.
Opening the system interface, Su Lun soon saw a science and technology column in the town interface. He clicked on the science and technology column and saw that there were already three skills in the science and technology column: Smelting Iron, Farming and Sugar Making. Under the three skills, all the steps and key points of the skills were clearly marked.
According to these production steps, it was possible to build a workshop.
Seeing this situation, Suhlen directly built the workshop according to the steps given. The sugar workshop needed about a thousand square meters of space. Such an important workshop could only be built in the town. Suhlen drew an open space near his lord's castle and then directed the slaves to build it.
The sugar workshop didn't have too complicated machinery and the difficulty of building it wasn't high. Suhlen directed the slaves to build the workshop while he sent a large number of people to the wilderness to collect beetroot. Before the beetroot in the territory was harvested, the raw materials for the sugar workshop could only be found in the wilderness.
Fortunately, the wilderness was large enough. Although there weren't many places where beetroot grew, with such a large area collected, the amount of beetroot in the warehouse increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The construction speed of the sugar refinery was very fast. It only took two days for a workshop to be completed.
[Sugar Workshop: This is a simple handmade workshop. It can make white sugar, rock sugar, and other kinds of sugar. Sugar quality + 1. Sugar yield + 1.]
Because the process of making sugar wasn't complicated, if it wasn't controlled, it could easily be leaked. Suhlen separated the processes, and each person was only responsible for one part. The most important part was the process of removing impurities with charcoal. Suhlen selected two slaves with 100 loyalty to do the work.
This process was also carried out in a separate room. After the impurities were removed, the sugar water would be sent to another workshop for processing.
In addition to these, Suhlen added a wall outside the sugar workshop. Apart from the workers of the workshop, no one else was allowed to come close. At the same time, Suhlen also arranged four barbarian warriors outside the workshop. They would be responsible for the safety of the sugar workshop.
Although there were no outsiders in his territory at the moment, once he took out the sugar for sale, his territory would soon be known by those who were interested. The profit of sugar wasn't low. No, it was very high. A catty of sugar could easily be sold for hundreds of Kinnar in Calt.
If the sugar workshop produced 500 catties of sugar every month, Suhlen would earn tens of thousands of Kinnar every month. It was comparable to a small city's annual tax revenue. Of course, this was only the best-case scenario. In fact, when Suhlen started selling sugar in large quantities, the price of sugar would definitely drop. After all, the rarer something was, the more expensive it was.
