Because out of all the shops selling pottery in the entire Yongning County, this was the only small jar Yan Jin found that could substitute for the earthenware, so before the custom-made earthenware was fired and ready, she could only experiment with this small jar here.

Afraid that the shopkeeper would make a mistake, Yan Jin even “warned” him, “If you break it, I won’t pay you.”

Shopkeeper: “I’ve had decades of experience in this craft… Don’t worry.”

After finding a substitute for the earthenware, Yan Jin went to find yellow clay.

Yan Jin had never liked going out since she was young, so she also wasn’t clear on where yellow clay could be dug up. Thus, she paid someone to dig up yellow clay.

Because Yan Jin was generous with her money, the yellow clay that was delivered had no impurities and could be considered clean, good yellow clay.

Yan Jin first used grass to plug the small hole at the bottom of the small jar, then had the brown sugar put inside. Then she had Yu Shu put this small jar on top of a cleaned large jar.

Yu Shu, who had just coaxed Rou Bao to sleep, was grabbed by Yan Jin to help. Following Yan Jin’s instructions, after putting the small jar on the large jar, Yu Shu looked thoughtful. “Yan Jin, are you planning to make ginger sugar?”

“No.” Yan Jin shook her head. “I want to make white sugar.”

“But to extract white sugar from brown sugar, it seems like filtration and adsorption are needed.” Yu Shu lightly furrowed his brows. “Doesn’t it require activated carbon? But does An Kingdom have activated carbon?”

“There should be, but it might not be easy to find.” After saying that, Yan Jin smiled mysteriously. “But we don’t need to use activated carbon, we’ll use yellow clay to make white sugar.”

[My god! How can yellow clay be used to make something edible? And white sugar? This is too dirty.] [Disgusting, Yan Jin is blatantly wasting food.] [What Yan Jin said about using yellow clay to make white sugar might be true. Because the ancestors used the yellow clay water percolation method to make white sugar.]

“Actually, there are many ways to make money, it’s not necessary to fixate on white sugar. And we have enough money, we can do some small business.” As Yu Shu spoke, his gaze towards Yan Jin grew more and more concerned. “Yan Jin, you… you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself.”

“Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe ‘The Exploitation of the Works of Nature’.” Yan Jin smiled faintly. “This isn’t just my wild idea, it’s a method recorded in ‘The Exploitation of the Works of Nature’.”

Yan Jin: Because of being bathed in Yu Shu’s adoring gaze of “You’re so amazing, you can actually be friends with a Taoist priest”, she hardened her scalp and took the initiative to befriend the Taoist priest.

Yu Shu: Because of Yan Jin’s focused gaze, he mistakenly thought he was Yan Jin’s entire world, so he hardened his scalp and tearfully ate the white sugar cake mixed with two pounds of white sugar.

Horizontal criticism: Suffering for the sake of face.

There’s a little rich girl who wants to sneak into the stockpiled chapters box, there’s actually such a good thing!!

If a few more little rich girls come to sneak into the stockpiled chapters box, the box can turn into a typewriter and I won’t have to write anymore (devil’s whisper).
