The sugar on the slate has cooled down, but it is not the white sugar that will be as white as snow in later generations, but brown sugar that looks a bit rough.
Although brown sugar can also be sold, it is still a little less interesting than white sugar, which is more beautiful and easier to store.
So, Xiao Han asked someone to build a large wooden funnel, pile the cooled brown sugar inside, soak water in yellow mud, and filter out buckets of yellow mud soup. Finally, he personally lifted a bucket and made it.
Pour down from the top of the funnel.
"Ah You……"
At first, Gupu didn't know what Xiao Han was going to do. Only when the bucket of muddy water went down did he rush forward in shock and anger, wanting to ask Xiao Han why he destroyed the candy he had just made!
However, when he rushed closer, he couldn't say the words he originally asked!
Because at this time, he suddenly discovered that the dark red and messy sugar cubes in the funnel miraculously turned white after being drenched in muddy water! And they were getting whiter and whiter!
"What...what's going on!"
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Yes, the candy had indeed turned white! Gupu, who did not believe in evil, reached out and grabbed a handful again. It was soft and wet, and he put it in his mouth. The taste was even better than before.
The pure sweetness is refreshing! There is no earthy smell at all!
"Haha, this is just a little Taoist! You must know that everything in the world is usable! The magic of application lies in one mind!" Seeing the dull eyes like a country bumpkin in Gupu, Xiao Han also put down the bucket of mud and water, pretending to be profound and haha
laugh it out.
Very good. If you pretend to be 13 this time, you should get at least ninety-nine points. If you get one more point, you will look proud!
"These are the white sugars you're talking about? Ahem, they're really good!" On the other side, hearing Xiao Han's loud laughter, Pu Pu also realized that he had just lost his composure. He coughed lightly and straightened his face again.
.
As the leader of one hundred thousand Miao people, how can you forget yourself for the sake of a little trick? Stay calm, you must stay calm! Don't be underestimated!
"By the way, Lao Liu, how much rice do you think a pound of sugar can be exchanged for?"
"Well, I think it should cost a hundred catties anyway! It also needs polished rice!"
"Gah..."
However, the next two sentences between Xiao Han and Liu Hongji made Pu Pu, who tried hard to put on a well-informed appearance, break his guard in an instant, and he broke it completely!
"Just a little candy! It's worth a hundred kilograms of rice!" With his mouth open like a hippopotamus, Pu Pu stared at Xiao Han and Liu Hongji in disbelief! Looking at this look, it made people a little worried.
Will he swallow these two people in one bite?
However, this is not to blame for Gupu's loss of composure. He had almost estimated it just now. According to the process just now, about twenty kilograms of sugar cane can produce one kilogram of sugar!
And the loss of sugar production?
Is there any loss in making sugar? Isn’t it just a little bit of wood, a little bit of lime, and a little bit of yellow mud? Aren’t these things everywhere on the mountain?
As for the materials, sugarcane grows randomly in clumps on the east and west of the mountain. No one has ever taken care of it, and it can grow to a height of one foot! On weekdays, except for the tribe members who will nibble one or two roots when they have no food, there is only one in the village.
The kids here like it. Is this thing expensive?
"One hundred kilograms of rice?"
Just when Pu Pu opened his mouth and kept pumping air-conditioning, almost fainting, Ren Qing, who had always been taciturn, slowly spoke: "According to the price of rice in Chang'an, a bushel of rice is now five qian, which means that
A pound of rice is four cents! A hundred pounds of rice is four hundred cents! But the price of such a pound of sugar in Chang'an cannot be lower than usual! If it can get into the hands of a wealthy family, it is common for three to five pounds per pound! "
"Snapped…… "
The sugar in his hand fell straight to the ground, but Gupu did not bend down to pick it up. Now he was standing there motionless as if possessed by an evil spirit!
If one pound of sugar was exchanged for one hundred pounds of rice just now, it was a sky-high price, then what is Ren Qing's current exchange of one pound of sugar for one thousand catties of rice? A sky-high price higher than the sky?
"This is true!"
After a long time, Gupu finally reacted and stared at Xiao Han with red eyes, for fear that he would tell him again: Don't think nonsense, this is just a joke! If this is the case, he will definitely throw Xiao Han into the cauldron.
A piece of it is cooked!
"This is true!"
Fortunately, Xiao Han didn't mean to make fun of Pu Pu.
He just nodded and acknowledged what Ren Qing said! When he got married, he had bought sugar and knew the price of it!
In Chang'an, the price of maltose that can only be used as snacks has almost reached five or six hundred yuan, let alone this kind of pure white sugar!
Come to think of it, those extremely fastidious wealthy families will definitely not be stingy with a few copper coins in their pockets when they see this new type of white sugar that is full of color, fragrance, and can be used as medicine, soup, and cooking!
Even if you let yourself run this matter, it is not impossible to sell it in limited quantities and exchange one pound of sugar for one pound of gold!
"Then I will immediately summon all the Miao villages to make sugar day and night! Don't ask for a pound of sugar to be exchanged for a thousand pounds of rice, as long as it can be exchanged for a hundred pounds! It will be enough to prevent the people in all the villages from starving to death!"
At this time, Pupu was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly. What is calmness and composure? Damn his grandma's mouth!
As long as he can keep his tribe fed and clothed and not starve to death, he can kneel down to Xiao Han!
"Ahem, Datong is ahead, don't get excited!"
Seeing Gupu's excited look like sifting chaff, Xiao Han took a step back and said: "These are the prices we are talking about in Chang'an! Now that Lingnan is controlled by the Seventh House, it is difficult to transport goods to Chang'an. If
For sale in Guangzhou alone, no one there can eat so much sugar, and no one can provide so much food!"
"What? Can't it be shipped out?" Pupu was stunned by Xiao Han's words, then calmed down, looked at him strangely and said: "No way? In the past few days since you came to Guangzhou, didn't you drive away the Feng family?
?By the way, you also took care of the Gao family, the Chen family of Nande Mansion, and even the people in the government, shouldn't you arrest and lock them up?"
"Well, you know very well!" Xiao Han's face was filled with shock!
He didn't expect that Pu Pu, the leader of the Miao village, would be so clear about what he was doing. Sure enough, no one in a high position would be easy to deal with! Those idiots would have been killed long ago.
The bones can be used to hammer drums!
"Aren't there other families like Xunfu? They won't buy my face!"
"Xunfu?"
Xiao Han didn't expect that this time, Pu Pu would be even more surprised. He stared at him and said, "Didn't you mobilize your troops to level Xun Mansion, Nankang Mansion, and Nan Yi Mansion last night?"
"
"Gah?!"
