After the brown sugar is cooled, it is drawn out of the mold, and marks are drawn on the surface with a knife, and then it is knocked hard on the edge of the table, and the large pieces of brown sugar become small pieces.

In the end, a large pot of sugarcane juice yielded less than five catties of brown sugar.

Ella picked up a small piece of crushed brown sugar and put it in her mouth. The sweetness of sugarcane spread on the tip of her tongue. The taste of sugar, which is sweeter than honey, is a pleasant taste.

I haven't tasted this kind of taste for a long time, and even Ella is a little addicted.

"Come and taste."

She invited everyone to come and taste the brown sugar.

The others came over one by one to take the candies, and everyone was very obedient and didn't touch the big, square brown sugar. They imitated Ella and picked up the broken corners and put them in their mouths. Without exception, everyone was shocked by thisSugar that has never been seen is conquered.

Naguido's eyes were shining, and after the brown sugar was eaten, a series of recipes flashed in his mind, all of which required the use of honey.

Honey is a good thing, but it has a certain fragrance and taste. It will change the taste of the food itself when used in dishes, but this brown sugar smells only a faint fragrance, and it tastes purely sweet.Almost no other flavors are mixed in, and it is definitely suitable for seasoning.

Moreover, this kind of sweet food called brown sugar is easy to make, and it seems that it can be produced in large quantities. It can completely replace the small amount of honey. If the price is set lower, it can completely seize this huge market.

He squinted his eyes and tasted the taste of brown sugar. All his thoughts stayed in his mind for a few seconds, and he couldn't wait to ask Ella: "Your Highness, do you have any plans to sell brown sugar or sugar cane? I want to buy some!"

He is really happy to meet this kind of ingredients that can develop many new dishes.

But although the sugar cane harvested this time was more than 7,000 catties, Ella calculated the proportion of brown sugar made from sugarcane juice, and concluded that 7,000 catties could yield almost 700 catties of brown sugar.Not much, so Ella has no plans to sell.

But if Najib wants to use it, of course it is possible.

"These brown sugar and sugar cane are meant to be used in the kitchen. You are responsible for the three meals a day in the palace. If you can make more delicious new dishes, we will benefit from them. You can use them if you want.Where do I need to say what to buy or not to buy?"

Najido was very useful to hear this, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

"Then His Highness wants to make the rest of the sugar cane into brown sugar?"

Ella nodded. Sugarcane can’t be stored for long, but brown sugar can be stored for a long time. As for white sugar, just wait until the next batch of sugarcane comes out. Brown sugar is not worse than white sugar except for the color is not so good, and there are some impurities, and EllaI think brown sugar is more nourishing.

Najido took the initiative to take over the work of making brown sugar. Of course, without him doing it, there are many slaves in the kitchen itself. If there are not enough people, you can call some more people to help.

Before Ella went back, in addition to taking some brown sugar cubes for Lucis to taste, she also cooked two bowls of brown sugar egg water and took them away.

Most people in Sathiya don’t like to eat poached eggs, because they have no taste, even if they add honey, the taste seems to be lacking. Of course, they didn’t know that eggs can be fried, so the most common and easiest way to eat them is to boil them.After cooking, peel off the shell and eat it with sauce. Of course, whether it is scrambled eggs and salted egg omelettes has become a household name, now you can add a poached egg boiled in brown sugar.

——Although its main function in modern times is to replenish blood for girls during their menstrual period, it doesn't mean that men can't eat it.

As expected, the brown sugar was well received by Lucis, who likes sweets. Even after Lucis finished eating the brown sugar that Ella took, he asked the kitchen to send some more. These brown sugars were made into a suitable size for the mouth.From time to time, take one in your mouth and savor it slowly.

His way of eating was quickly stopped by Ella, not to mention that eating too much sugar is bad for teeth, and now there is no dentist who can help treat teeth. Even if he eats this way, Ella has to worry about Lu XiS has diabetes.

Luckily, Lucis has a good endurance. Recently, he has been so addicted to sugar because he tasted something new. After being dissuaded by Ella, he gave up this little hobby.

The not-very-cold winter doesn't seem to be long. The coldest few days have passed, and the temperature starts to rise in a blink of an eye. By the end of February, the breath of spring has enveloped the earth.

When Ella's wedding dress was finally finished and her shoes were embroidered, the fields in the outskirts had been covered with large areas of green. Although the emerald green wheat seedlings had just begun to ear, the farmers had already been overjoyed, and they counted them over and over again.The ears of wheat that have just emerged on the wheat seedlings, one, two, three, and four—as long as the wheat in the wheat field is planted according to the royal teachings, there will be two or three more ears than before, and some even grow on their own.They found six or seven ears of wheat in the field. They took care of these good wheat seedlings as if they were treasures. These are the seeds of the next season's wheat.

Although it is not yet the harvest season, but seeing the earing of the wheat in the fields, everyone can say with certainty that as long as the nutrition in the later stage keeps up, the yield of this batch of wheat should be twice as high as before. It should be very simpleIn the past, there were basically only two ears of wheat seedlings, but now four ears are the most common. As long as there are no mistakes in grouting, the output can be doubled no matter what.

Farmers in the entire delta and near the royal capital were overjoyed. They used to doubt that the wheat production reported by the royal family was an exaggeration. Now that they saw the situation in the field, no one doubted it anymore.

And people in other parts of Sathia are also looking forward to it. They actually want to learn new planting methods, but they are too far away from the royal capital, and the royal family does not have so many people. Except for the nobles and rich people, they can send people there.Learning, other common farmers can only wait for the next time they grow wheat, the royal family sent people to their city to teach.

This time should not be too far away. After all, the news said that the new wheat planting technology can grow two crops of wheat a year.

Ella's seventeenth birthday came just as the wheat was entering grain filling.

I don’t know if the time in the two worlds is the same, but the date when Ella came to Sathya is the same month and date as when she was in the fairy tale world, and her birthday is on May 7th.

Sathyas generally don't celebrate birthdays. Originally, Ella didn't plan to spend a lot of time on her birthday. She just planned to order a small birthday cake for herself, and then invited Lucis to have a meal together.

But ever since Lucis knew when her birthday was, she had been thinking that she must hold a grand birthday party for her to make up for her sixteen years of adulthood when no one was celebrating.

Therefore, the 17th birthday was held with great importance. Lucis not only announced this auspicious day to the whole country, but also reduced and exempted taxes in her name, allowing the people of the whole country to celebrate her together, and personally prepared a special event for her.at past birthday parties.

This banquet is not Sathya's usual style, but a European-style banquet he organized based on the information he obtained from Ella, integrated and analyzed.

The long table is covered with white gauze, and it is filled with all kinds of food and drinks. Guests can pick their favorite food from among the dishes with their own plates, and chat with people around them while eating.

There was no song or dance prepared for the banquet, only the dance floor was vacant for people to dance on. Couples of men and women crowded onto the dance floor and danced to the music. Although they only learned one or two simple dances due to time constraints, they were cheerfulAmidst the sound of music, even two people holding hands and going around in circles are extremely happy.

Not to mention, Lucis invited Ella to dance the opening dance of this birthday party. He learned the dance steps from Ella.Feel.

Although Ella always feels misplaced because of the costumes of the guests, it seems that it is not impossible to treat it as a masquerade ball.

In short, her seventeenth birthday was very happy.

·····

May 20th, this day, is a day that the whole Sathya has been looking forward to for a long time.

The large wheat fields outside the city are turning golden yellow one after another. When the wind blows, the golden wheat waves sway with the wind. This is the favorite color of Sathiya people.

And this day is the day when their great king married the silver-haired princess.

"The days go by so fast, before you know it, it has been a year since His Highness came to Sathya."

"Yes, the changes Her Royal Highness has brought to Sathya are really great."

On this special day today, all members of the six-member team were on duty. Someone suddenly sighed, which caused other people to speak.

As the guards who have always accompanied Ella, they will follow her wherever she goes, so they know best how many miracles this magical princess has brought to Sathya in this short year.

So they can be said to be the ones who believe the rumor that "the silver-haired princess is from the Kingdom of God" the most.

Everyone around Ayla believes in this, but unlike the guards who only need to be responsible for guarding, other people are too busy now.

The highest god in Sathya is the sun god, so many large-scale activities will start at the moment the sun rises. Other people's weddings start from the morning reception. Royal weddings do not need this step, but they are more troublesome.

Just like the sacrifice, the royal wedding begins at the moment of sunrise of the sun.

So Ella, who fell asleep before it was dark last night, was woken up in the middle of the night when the moon was in the sky.

Although she was already full of sleep at that moment, when she was woken up, facing the darkness of the room, Ella still hesitated for a long time before calling for someone to come in.

The preparations before the wedding were not carried out in the bedroom. After she simply washed up, she was put on a cloak, and surrounded by maids and several noble ladies, she went to the temple.

These noble ladies and young ladies are usually close to her, and they were invited by Ella to help her complete the wedding ceremony. Of course, they were not prepared to make things difficult for the groom, which is not the case in royal weddings.

The first step to enter the temple is of course to bathe in holy water, but this time her identity is different, so she does not need to go to a special cubicle to bathe like last time, but to go to the inside of the temple, a huge poolbathe in.

Girls and maids have to take a bath before they can serve her, so the priestesses are still responsible for Ella's bathing, but this time the priestesses are all high priests in the temple, and their status is only among the three high priests.under.

After she finished bathing in the holy water pool, the four of Tetis had also finished bathing, and they came to apply special ointment made of dozens of spices to her, and even her hair was not spared on her face, covering her whole body.All made delicious.

After cleaning, she changed into her wedding dress and embroidered shoes, and Ella walked into the next room, where the ladies and ladies were already waiting there.

Ella sat on the seat, starting from the highest-ranking elders, each of the female relatives stepped forward and gently combed her long hair with a golden comb, from head to tail, and sang while combingCongratulations, combed it seven times in a row, and then changed to another person to continue.

"Beautiful princess, today is your wedding day. The great king is waiting for you. May you be as sweet and loving as honey."

"The brilliance of the sun shines on you, the brilliance of the moon embraces you, everything in the world loves you, and may you be happy forever."

"The eyes of the gods are watching you, you are the most beautiful princess and the most beautiful queen..."

A section of well-prepared congratulatory speeches sang in the ear, and Ella quietly waited for all of them to complete the ceremony, and then put on her hair, jewelry, and makeup.

Ella seldom knows how to make up, and she usually focuses on light and natural makeup. This time, her makeup is rich and gaudy. Fortunately, the maids have already practiced their makeup skills, and the same is true for the noble women. Her look is stunning.Under the decoration of everyone, her small face became more and more outstanding, with a glamorous beauty, even the maids who were used to her beauty were stunned for a while.

The mirror was not so clear, and Ella could only vaguely see that her makeup was good. Seeing that no one was talking, she took out the tulle next to her, covered her head, and adjusted it to a suitable length.

The transparent tulle stretches from the hood to the feet, the front only reaches the thighs, and the length of the back is directly dragged to the ground. It also has golden embroidery on it. It is the veil of her wedding dress, but it is missing a hair crown.live, so now Ayla temporarily uses it as a head cover.

Dress neatly, and the time is almost approaching the time for the wedding to start.

The noble ladies left first, and their responsibilities ended here, and the girls would escort Ella to the wedding scene later, so they stayed in the room.

"Is Your Highness nervous?"

The elders left, and the girls of the same age relaxed. They sat around Ella, admiring her beautiful wedding dress and chatting about her wedding.

The girls sitting here are all about the same age, either they have already engaged or are preparing to engage in an engagement. They are looking forward to the wedding, but they are also afraid of it.

"nervous."

Ella expressed her current mood generously, how could she not be nervous, her heart was about to jump out now.

The girls looked at her goddess-like face hidden under the tulle, and didn't see that she was nervous at all.

"But you look so calm."

Ella tilted her head: "Probably because I was too nervous, but I don't know how to show it."

She is telling the truth. She has never lacked etiquette lessons in her childhood education. The more important the moment, the less she can show disrespect. This has been engraved into her bone marrow.

This topic passed quickly, and the girls looked at her wedding dress with amazement and longing in their eyes.

"His Royal Highness's wedding dress is really beautiful. I will make one like this when I get married, but it looks so complicated."

"I still have the blueprint, you can take it back and study it if you need it."

"Really? I need it!"

"Me too, can we watch it together?"

"OK."

After chatting with them for a while, a priestess knocked on the door, saying that it was almost time.

When offering sacrifices, you need to go to the shrine in the deepest part of the temple to worship, but the wedding ceremony is held in the temple of the gods.

The so-called Temple of the Gods is a huge stone temple, with tall stone statues carved on the walls on all sides. Different statues are different in size because of the different positions of the gods. In the middle is the sun god with the highest status, and his statue is also the tallest.It is ten meters long, while the other statues are smaller, but they are all seven or eight meters high.

All the god statues are carved to look down on the earth in a standing posture. Standing in this temple of the gods, you will always have the feeling of being watched by the gods.

As the groom, Lucis, who had already been prepared, was already standing in front of the statue of the sun god, facing the door, waiting for his bride.

Three high-ranking priests stood behind him holding things, while ministers and nobles stood on both sides of the temple. Behind them were other priests of lower status. Everyone was waiting for the most important person to arrive.

The open gate was facing the east, and the moment the sun rose, golden sunlight shone into the temples, and an equally golden figure appeared at the gate surrounded by everyone.

With the sun behind her back, everyone couldn't see her face clearly, but the elegance and holiness bathed in the sun rushed towards her face.

Walking out of the sun, her appearance is also seen by everyone.

The long tulle enveloped her, but it couldn't hide her beauty.

The wedding dresses of Sathya brides are usually white, and hers is no exception, but the large patterns embroidered with gold thread completely cover up the background color of the fabric. The top of the wedding dress is tightly attached to the white skin, outliningIt has a perfect curve, and it is full of embroidered patterns of flowers, plants and fruits that symbolize auspiciousness. It is also embellished with round white pearls of the same size. The hardness of the pure gold thread after embroidery is enough to make the originally thin and soft fabric becomeStiff up, there is a waist effect.

Below the waistline, there is still a bell-shaped lower skirt full of folds, but it is stacked with layers of tulle to create an incredible degree of expansion. The outermost layer is also embroidered with many flower patterns, but it becomes sparser as it goes down.

Under the skirt, as Ella walked, the front end of the soft-soled embroidered shoes appeared and disappeared, but the pattern on it was also seen to be the same design.

This outfit is not only very luxurious, it is very in line with the yearning of the Sathiya people for gold, and it also shows everyone how superb their new queen's embroidery skills are.

Lucis stared intently at Ella walking towards him step by step.

Ella never avoided him when preparing her wedding dress, even the matching jewelry was designed by him, but when these things were worn on her body, the beauty still amazed him.

Before she could arrive, he had already approached her first, then held her by the hand, and led her to the Sun God.

The sun outside the door also illuminated their positions a little bit. When the sun rose to a high enough height, the priests began to sing congratulations. During the singing, Meljet lifted the golden crown of the sun representing the queen's status to Lucis.before.

Lucis lifted Ella's veil, flipped the front end back, picked up the golden crown of the sun, and put it on Ella's head.

Only then did the remaining two high priests step forward, one holding water lilies and papyrus, and the other holding a hook and a flail scepter.

The water lilies and papyrus that symbolize Sathya were sent to Ella's arms. At this point, Lucis should pick up the hooked cheek scepter and make a promise to Ella as a king.Announcing her as his wife, queen of the country, and the ceremony was over, it was time for them to sign their own marriage tablets.

But unexpectedly, after Lucis picked up the hook and flail scepter, he handed them to Ayla.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, he looked deeply at Ella.

"From now on, you are my wife and the queen of Sathya. Everything I have will be shared with you, and I belong only to you."

"So, promise me that no matter when, you will never leave me, and you will always stand by my side."

Ayla opened her mouth, really wanting to answer, but suddenly heard people's panicky exclamations in the temple of the gods where only the priests were singing, and the neat singing stopped abruptly.

The wedding was interrupted suddenly, and Lucis' dark eyes immediately turned to the person who exclaimed, but at this time their attention was not on him at all.

"God, what is that?!!!"

Following people's gazes, Ella and Lucis turned to look at the statue of the sun god behind them.

Standing so close at first, they didn't notice anything wrong until they looked up like everyone else.

I saw that in the sky in front of the statue, a mysterious circle of light appeared there at some point. The diameter of the circle was no more than fifty centimeters, and it seemed to be made of debris from stars.Dust, after the dust falls, it disappears without a trace, and in the aperture, there are waves rippling back and forth like water waves, and they will protrude outward from time to time.

Seeing this mysterious and weird halo that suddenly appeared, Lucis's first reaction was to hold Ella tightly beside him and protect her in his arms.

As for Ella, looking at the small bag bulging in the circle of light, her expression became excited and expectant.

She seems to know what it is!!
