In the kitchen of the Einar palace, he was with his daughter Laura, his son Daven and his wives were also with little Erick and Katherine.
"Very well children, we will make sugar the old method with which your father learned to get sugar."
Laura and Daven, who had little chef's outfits, looked at their father with a smile.
"Dad, we can eat sugar whenever we want. I really like the sweet taste it has."
Laura said as she lifted a wooden spoon.
Einar laughed and stroked his daughter's hair "At the moment you can only eat sugar in the morning because it is very energetic food.
If you eat sugar at night, you can suffer from insomnia problems and I don't think you want to cannot sleep.
It is a hideous feeling which can make you cry. I hope you can understand why you cannot eat it daily.
Not only that, his mother and I worry that they may have cavities, a disease in the teeth where bacteria make holes in the teeth.
Unfortunately, I don't have a good way to heal cavities, other than pulling out the tooth and I don't think they want one of their beautiful teeth to get lost. "
The two children were shocked by what they shook their heads at the same time.
"No dad, I don't want cavities, I promise you I won't have sweet things at night but how I avoid cavities."
Einar looked at his daughter with a smile and stroked her nose "You have to brush your teeth daily. Coal and mint are a wonderful solution to the problem of cavities.
Dad is also working hard to get fluoride to make toothpaste, but it is too dangerous and corrosive a gas.
So the only thing I remember is that you need to have an electrolysis process, which is impossible to do at the moment.
But I promise you that your children will enjoy a fluoride toothpaste with which cavities will be a thing of the past.
Although as always, his father is delirious and deviating from the important topic.
The first thing we will do is wash the beets with soap and water. "
After saying this, Einar helped their children to wash the beets using the sink. The two little kids started laughing while they were washing the beets.
Laisa, Kassia and Helmi looked at her husband as they enjoyed a delicious pine tea.
"I think he is a very well balanced man. I can't wait to see him with our other children when they are older."
Laisa looked at Kassia "I'm sure he will teach them to be elite warriors so they can be conquerors like their father."
Caressing her stomach Laisa smiled "This baby will grow big and strong, I will also give him a Spartan training like the one Leonidas received."
Einar, who was listening to everything, turned his head and stared at Laisa while shaking his head.
"Laisa, we are not in the Peloponnese, and we are not a Greek kingdom willing to train warriors to fight.
We are a civilized nation that will educate children so that they know how to work as a team. Using a militarized education, the situation will be much better.
A warrior can win battles but will never win a war. An army can lose battles but will win wars.
The training that our children will receive will be slow but consistent so that they can have a trouble-free childhood.
Well, it will be the only time where I do not want them to see the malice of the world. This place devours the weak and only spits bones.
I prefer that during their childhood they have smiles than a concern about what to do in the future, and when they are older, I will show them the real world.
But they will have a solid foundation of principles which will prevent them from becoming bloodthirsty.
I want children, not killing machines, without feelings.
If the time comes and I need killing machines. I have many ways to create horrible weapons, which will make the bow and sword seem like child's play.
Although that will depend on the future. "
Laisa laughed at Einar's would-be attitude and looked at him with affection "There is the Einar that I fell in love with, a man who will not hesitate to kill to protect.
That look of yours I hope our baby can inherit it, it would be great if he did because he could be a genuine leader. "
Einar smiled and looked fondly at his wife "The look is only the first step. What makes a person a leader are the actions he takes.
A leader will never fight without considering his subordinates. One must be willing to help and get his hands dirty if necessary.
Otherwise, if he only dedicates himself to giving orders, he is a foreman and, although they seem the same, they are completely different.
But you can rest assured that I will teach all my children to be leaders. Of course they have to travel the road.
Doesn't Daven and Laura believe it that way? "
The two children who had their hands full of soap raised them up and looked proudly at their father.
"Dad, I will be a prominent leader once my childhood is over that I have to enjoy."
"I will also be an outstanding leader. I promise you, dad that I will be a general like you."
Einar bent down and gave his sons two kisses on the foreheads "I know they are going to do it, but I think we just finished washing the beets and it is time to move on to the next step.
Because you need to use a knife, we must use to protect your hands. "
Daven raised his hand and smiled "We will wear chain-mail gloves, to protect our little hands.
We will always use the knife only at the table and we should never use it to play because it is a weapon that can be used to kill. "
Einar nodded and looked proudly at little Daven "Very good, since you know what you have to do, grab your chain-mail gloves and let's go to the table.
I'll put in the beets, cutting boards, and knives. "
The two children looked at their father with smiles and went to the drawer to get their chain-mail gloves. Meanwhile, Einar prepared everything.
After a while he just put everything down, so he sat on the table next to Kassia, who leaned on his shoulder.
"To make the beet juice from where we will get the sugar, we have to cut the beets into small pieces.
Remember to always take the knife carefully and hold the beet while hiding your thumb.
This always has to be done to avoid cutting your hands. "
Einar held up a halved beet and, holding it as he had done, began to make a very fine cut.
"It does not matter if it is not well cut, the important thing is that they learn how to do it.
When you finish, you will place the beet chunks in the saucepan with water in the middle of the table, always avoiding having the knife in hand. "
After this, the two children began to cut the beets while Helmi and Laisa supervised them, as an enjoyable family activity.
For his part, Einar was holding his two little babies, who were looking at him with their curious faces.
Einar gave them both a kiss, which caused them to laugh with their tender voices.
"I know you two want to cut the beets too, babies, but you must know that you are still very young.
But you will already grow up and will be able to help us with the housework, for the moment only my children go to sleep.
Dad is going to take care of them so they can have sweet dreams. "
The two babies stared at their father for a few minutes before falling asleep in their father's arms.
Kassia, who was still next to Einar, laughed flirtatiously "You have a lot of facility to make them fall asleep. What would we do without you, my beloved knight?"
Einar rested his head on Kassia's head "I should say that, for me, family is the most important thing.
Especially our children because they are the crystallization of our love. They are living proof that we love each other.
All of them and you are the engine that motivates me to keep going and I will never tire of saying it.
Because always being with you is my greatest pleasure, but a nation also requires my attention because it will be the one who will take care of us for generations. "
After those words, the two of them watched in silence as they cut all the beets. When they finished cutting them, Einar explained the following process to his children.
Which was the simplest and at the same time the most complicated because they had to boil the beets in water at a temperature of 70 degrees and it should not exceed 80 degrees.
Otherwise, the sugars in the beets would not come out. This was discovered with countless tests where, in the range of 70 to 80 degrees, the resulting juice was sweeter than any other sample.
At the end of boiling, Einar placed the contents and gave a spoonful to his children, who enjoyed the delicious and sweet taste.
After this, he boiled the juice that had already been strained and I wait for a kind of honey to form, which he placed in metal trays.
All this so that they were put in the oven for a few minutes to get the sugar.
When they came out of the oven, the trays had gigantic chunks of amber sugar that looked like glass.
"Children, this is sugar in its purest form. Now we will only have to grind it in a mortar so that it becomes a powder and we can use it."
The two children were delighted and looked at their father with smiles full of hope and happiness.
