She didn’t say anything but stretched out her two small hands in front of Xue Yan.

Xue Yan immediately understood and put down the fire stick. He got up and went to get some water. He poured it on Jiang Yue’s hands and let her wash them.

Xue Yan didn’t ask her why she was covered in dirt after a trip to her room.

Jiang Yue felt that this was a good thing. She had met many people in this world, but the only time she felt relaxed was when she was with Xue Yan.

Then, the two of them sat at the entrance of the stove again, holding the fire sticks and taking care of the small fire.

By the time Liu Guixia and Li Hehua came back to make lunch, the fermentation process was still not done.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan used a small pot, while Liu Guixia and the others had to use a big pot to cook. Although the pots were different, they were connected to the same stove. The bigger pots needed a bigger fire. When they started cooking, the temperature of the small pots would also rise a little. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan put out the fire under the small pot in case the temperature in the small pot was too high and affected the enzyme that could denature the enzyme.

When Liu Guixia and the others were about to finish preparing lunch, the small pot was also done fermenting. Xue Sifu also came back and immediately came over to help.

Xue Yan was left to watch the process from the side.

Jiang Yue was only left with the task of commanding.

“Take out everything from the pot and filter it through the gauze,” Jiang Yue said. “Just take the juice and the residue can be used as fertilizer for the field.”

Xue Sifu quickly followed Jiang Yue’s instructions.

Xue Wufu also came back. He quickly washed his hands and came over to help with the filtering.

Li Hehua helped to wash the small pot.

After the filtering was done, the residue was put aside to be scattered in the fields. The juice that was filtered in the basin and was poured back into the small pot and began to boil.

In the beginning, they could use a large fire, but later on, in order to avoid burning it, they changed to a smaller fire.

They also had to constantly stir the sugar with a spatula to make the water in the sugar syrup evaporate faster. Of course, this was also to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Fortunately, it was made from one kilogram of glutinous rice, so the work was not too overbearing. After only two hours, there was no more water left in it, and it was all caramel sugar.

However, the caramel candy was still very hot and especially soft.

She took it out from the pot and placed it in a big bowl.

The caramel candy was still dark brown in color.

Jiang Yue picked up a pair of chopsticks, one in each hand, and dipped some caramel candy into the big bowl. She pulled, rolled, and folded the caramel candy with the chopsticks, and soon, the caramel candy turned white.

“It’s turning white!” Xue Wufu, who was always loud, immediately shouted.

Xue Dafu and the others were overjoyed. They didn’t expect it to turn white like this.

“D*mn, it seems to have grown bigger too!” Xue Wufu exclaimed in surprise.

Xue Dafu and the others were even happier.

Jiang Yue actually wanted to say that this was because the rolling process would allow air to fold in with the mixture. The density of the caramel sugar decreased, so the volume naturally increased. There was so much brown caramel sugar in the bowl, so it could be turned into a lot of white caramel sugar, but it would still be heavy.

Because the caramel sugar had been mixed with the air, it became opaque and looked white.

However, she was afraid that Xue Dafu and the others wouldn’t understand, so she didn’t say anything.

However, she had briefly explained it to Xue Yan when she was fermenting the minced caramel and glutinous rice in the morning. She couldn’t help but glance at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan was as calm as usual.
