When the family entered the house, the doors were closed in broad daylight, and there was insufficient light, making the house look very dim.
After entering the house, Yunshan held Yunjing in one hand and carried the jar of maltose in the other. He frowned slightly and said nothing.
Infected by his serious look, Yunshan and Jiang Susu did not dare to speak, feeling inexplicably uneasy inside.
Yunjing didn't say anything and was nestled in his grandfather's arms. At this time, he probably understood what his grandfather was thinking and what kind of mood he was feeling at this time.
Yun Lin is illiterate and doesn't have much knowledge. He may not be able to express his mood at this time, but Yun Jing can describe his mood in one sentence.
Blessings are where misfortune lies, and misfortunes are where blessings lie!
Sugar, how precious is it? It is a luxury product that many rich people in the town cannot buy with money, and now, the jar in his hand is estimated to be a pound!
Is these maltose a good thing or a bad thing for this family?
The benefits are obvious, as long as you sell it, you will get a lot of money, but then, this thing was invented by Yunjing, which means that after understanding the process, you can continue to make it in the future.
Once you know the production process, what a terrible asset it will be to this family?
unimaginable!
However, can this poor family really keep such a fortune that makes people jealous? Although the production process is not clear yet, it is definitely a terrible hidden trouble.
Once it is known that his family can continuously produce such candy, let alone whether he can live a good life, trouble will definitely come continuously, and he may even be killed!
In this era, although the dynasty is aloof and has enacted laws, are there still few cases of robbery, murder, and goods?
Yun Lin may not understand these truths as thoroughly as Yun Jing, but after living for decades, he still has a sense of crisis. Just like now, he is trembling slightly in silence. It is definitely not excitement, but fear!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
In the depressing atmosphere, Yunshan broke the silence and asked. He saw that something was wrong with his old father's condition.
Shaking his head, Yunlin said in a serious tone: "I'm fine."
"It's okay, dad, why don't you say anything, and the weather isn't hot now. You're already sweating," Yunshan asked again.
It's not that he is a bully, it's just that he subconsciously uses words to relieve the tense atmosphere.
Staring at Yunshan angrily, Yunlin took a deep breath, put down the jar and pointed at it: "Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan's wife, do you know what this means?"
"What?" Yunshan didn't understand.
Slowly exhaling, Yunlin said slowly: "I remember last summer, I went to the town to sell bamboo weaving, and met a honey seller. A small jar of honey, weighing a pound, was sold to a large household in the town.
I paid a full ten taels of silver for just such a small jar. For ten taels of silver, the wealthy people who came after hearing the news couldn’t even buy it with their money!”
"I knew honey was valuable, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable!" Yunshan glared.
Nodding, Yun Lin said: "It is so valuable. There is a saying that the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Honey is such a rare and valuable thing. It is hard to find in the wild. Who can come across it?
It’s like picking up money for nothing.”
"Yes, Uncle Yun Dajun's family in our village seems to have made a fortune from getting more than ten kilograms of honey in the wild more than ten years ago. Now it is also the richest in our village," Yunshan said with a look of envy.
Yunlin did not show an envious look on his face, but said in a complicated tone: "Yes, honey is valuable. Brother Dajun's family made a fortune from the honey they got by chance, but did you know that that time Brother Xiaobing went to sell honey and almost failed?"
Do you know that you were beaten to death?"
"Is this happening?" Yunshan exclaimed.
Yun Lin snorted with a complicated tone and said: "That time, two big families in the town wanted the honey in his hand, but he was greedy and sold it all to the party with the higher bid. In the end, the party that didn't buy it took it out on him.
, his legs were almost broken, but the other party didn’t care about the money. The main reason was that he lost face and looked bad, so in the end he let him go without actually beating him to death.”
Although it was a bit incredible to hear this, Yunshan was confused and asked: "So Dad, what do you think this has to do with us?"
"It's a big deal!" Yunlin said in a deep voice immediately.
Then he added: "Honey is so valuable, even rich people often can't buy it with money. This shows how attractive delicious honey is to rich people, and honey is wild. Who can encounter it in the wild?"
It will be gone after one or two times, and it will not lead to death. But now, the sugar in our hands is actually no different from honey. It is just as delicious, and it is still made by Xiao Jing. It means
As soon as you figure out the process, you can continue to make it. This is a gold mine. Who wouldn’t be jealous? If you don’t do it well, you will be in trouble!”
After hearing these words from Yun Lin, Yun Shan suddenly felt frightened and even felt chilled all over.
He really didn't think much about it before, and he didn't even react in time to take the maltose that Yun Jing made and sell it in the town for money. But now after hearing Yun Lin's words, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Dad, is it not that serious?" Jiang Susu summoned up the courage to ask nervously from the side at this time. The happiness she had felt when she tasted the sweet taste of maltose was gone.
Yun Lin sighed and said: "It will only get worse. Our family is a small family, so it doesn't matter. Holding this gold mine will only attract a group of hungry wolves who will eat us until we have no bones left. It can be said that we will not be able to leave home without death."
Far!"
Yunshan and his wife understood, and were frightened into confusion.
For the poor people at the bottom like them, huge wealth often does not mean happiness, but is a curse!
Even if they have money, they don't know how to spend money on relationships to improve their status. They never master more wealth. They only know the principle of not revealing wealth.
Having said that, even if they have the brains to use a large amount of money as a stepping stone to build relationships, the other party will definitely turn around after knowing their family situation and eat up everything!
After panicking for a while, Yunshan showed a smile again and said: "Dad, you are right, a large amount of wealth is not something that a family like ours can have. Fortunately, Xiao Jing did not ask Xiao Jing where the candy was.
I won’t ask you how to make it in the future, so you can avoid disaster.”
Looking at his smart dad, Yun Jing wanted to cover his face. He didn't understand what his grandpa meant at all. How could he be so smug? It was as if he was saying that as long as I don't get into trouble with this thing, he won't be able to catch up with me...
As expected, Yunlin glared at him with an expression that said, "You're too stupid to give up." Then he said: "Are you stupid not to pick it up if you have money? We must figure out how to make this candy, even if we can't sell it as honey.
At half the price, it will be a huge fortune for our family and will make our family’s life countless times better than before!”
Yunshan was a little confused and said tangledly: "But Dad, didn't you say that knowing how to make this candy will only cause disaster?"
"I don't have a son as stupid as you." Yun Lin was completely speechless to Yun Shan.
In fact, Yunshan is not stupid, but he is often a bit dull and one-sided, and cannot turn his head around.
Jiang Susu on the side gently pulled Yunshan's sleeve and whispered: "Daddy, I probably understand what daddy means. The method of making this candy will indeed cause trouble, but we can do it secretly, sir."
Make something and sell it. As long as you don’t get greedy and want to eat it until you become a fat person, even if you make it twice a year and sell it, it will be enough for our family to live a good life."
To sum up, if you don’t want to be a shooter, don’t be greedy, just keep quiet and make a little money.
With a smile on his face, Yunlin pointed at Yunshan and said, "Look, your wife is smarter than you."
"Yes, you can still do it like this!" Yunshan didn't care about his father's disdain. Instead, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise.
Finally, Yun Lin made the decision and said seriously: "In short, unless you want to die, you will keep this matter in your belly. No one can talk about it, not even to death. Keep your mouth shut even in your dreams."
"How could you tell others about such a good thing?" Yunshan said with an expression that said, "I'm not stupid."
The serious relationship between the matter has been clearly analyzed. Finally, Yunlin nodded and said: "The next step is to find out how this candy is made."
Then, the whole family looked at Yunjing...
Facing the gazes of the family, Yunjing shrank back with a frightened expression, but secretly thought in his heart that this family was not very smart. They could clearly understand the serious relationship in just a few words, but they chose to pull it off.
A lot of nonsense.
Fortunately, they are not stupid after all. Although the process was a bit complicated, they finally figured out the pros and cons.
The saying that an elder in a family is like a treasure is truly true.
Yunlin knew his family's situation. People like him shouldn't be able to enjoy great wealth. As long as he understood this and didn't have any ambitions, it wouldn't be a big problem to figure out how to make sugar and secretly earn a little money to improve his life.
Even Yunjing can guess that they know how to make maltose. What they sell is not maltose, but honey!
You say this honey doesn’t taste right? However, the honey we got has this taste. You ask me why, how do I know?
Since it is honey, there is no secret recipe, and disaster can be avoided.
Finally, our family is lucky. We encounter honey once or twice a year in the wild. Isn’t it too much?
