Things happened one after another, which made it a long time before the meal was served on the table. But no one, whether it was the little guys or the four Zhao brothers, cared about it. Especially Zhao Er and the others, the joy on their faces could not be concealed.
Can't live.
Time went back to half an hour ago, when Li Anran, who was preparing to cook, discovered that Zhao's sugar could not be used, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
In fact, ever since he knew that he had really traveled to the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran had been struggling with how to earn the first pot of gold and have the capital to settle down in the Tang Dynasty. With those modern items that Li Anran had traveled with, he actually wanted to make money.
It is not a difficult task, but how to make this money safely and worry-free is not easy.
It is naturally easy to pretend to be a ghost by using the status of a Qi practitioner and modern items such as mobile phones, but doing so will more easily attract the attention of Taoist sects in this era. Li Anran is not stupid enough to think that he can compete with those "old foxes"
Scheming. If you are not careful, you can easily be "swallowed" by the other party right down to your skin and bones.
As for pawning swords or lighters, it's not impossible. But in a place like Lantian County, it's easy to sell for a low price. If you want to sell it, you can only go to Chang'an. But if you go to Chang'an, the things you have can definitely be sold.
The price will increase, but the risk will be greater. Leaving aside the rich and powerful, you must know that in ancient times, there was also a "black society".
Li Anran knew very well that now, in addition to his fabricated identity, his skills that were strengthened by the mysterious runes also had the ability to protect himself. If he really gets into trouble because of these "treasures" on his body, not to mention those
It would not be more difficult for a wealthy man to crush himself to death than to crush an ant to death.
Even if you run into the rangers of this era and those low-level gangs, even if you don't die violently, the end will not be much better. The best case scenario is to escape into the mountains to avoid trouble, and then change places.
Start over. If you meet some "awesome" guys, it will still be miserable.
As for relying on the learning and knowledge of later generations to deceive the ancients, it is not necessarily useless, but Li Anran does not want to put his own life and safety on those time-travel novels.
In fact, Li Anran also knows that no matter how careful he is, unless he does not reveal anything related to the knowledge of future generations, he will attract attention sooner or later. But as long as there is enough time, Li Anran is confident that he can stand firm. Even if he attracts attention by then,
No matter how troublesome it is, the risks we face will not be as great as they are now.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Anran did not express his "magic" too much, nor did he take out his belongings to pawn. Even his previous practice of pawning a zippo lighter to Sun Changgeng,
On the one hand, it is out of helplessness, and on the other hand, it is also to test the other party's character.
Otherwise, the Rendan prescription, which was produced in cooperation with the other party and was of high value, would not have been handed over directly to the other party without even writing a cooperation agreement.
Originally, Li Anran was still having a headache. Whether it was Rendan or the deep processing industry of meat products that he planned to engage in later, although he could make money, the results would be slower.
After seeing the piece of miscellaneous sugar from Zhao Er's family, I remembered that in this era, there is no such white sugar in later generations, and sugar was a high-priced commodity in ancient times. Before traveling through time, the village where Li Anran lived was just a few miles away.
The largest sugarcane planting area in the county is not far away, and the sugar we use on weekdays is purchased directly from the sugar workshop.
Even though these sugars are all produced in small workshops of villagers, they all use traditional sugar boiling techniques. Regardless of whether it is brown sugar, white sugar, granulated sugar or rock sugar, the quality is better than similar sugars processed using industrial technology.
many.
Li Anran, who has been a glutton since he was a child, often went to the houses of villagers he knew well to buy sweets. After going back and forth, he also gained a deep understanding of this traditional method of making sweets. However, this method of making sweets is very troublesome and can only be done in small quantities.
It’s not cost-effective at all. To do it in large quantities requires specialized manpower and equipment, and the competition is already fierce.
Even if this method of boiling sugar is not a secret recipe in the local area, no one from all over the country would be stupid enough to get involved. If you want to eat it, you just buy it ready-made. Although the process from sugar cane to boiling sugar is indeed very complicated.
It's troublesome, but for Li Anran right now, it doesn't have to be so tiring at all, it just needs further processing.
No, after confirming his sudden idea, Li Anran asked the Zhao brothers to break the bamboo charcoal used for bacon into small pieces, wash it with water and dry it. He also asked Mrs. Zhao to mend two pieces.
The coarse cloth used, combined with the same washed coarse sand, fine sand and a bamboo tube, made a simple version of the filter.
The piece of miscellaneous sugar from before was also finely ground into powder, melted into boiled water to obtain a saturated solution, and then filtered through a bamboo filter to remove impurities. After filtering several times, slowly use low heat to
Roast and dry. Finally, we get a good sugar that is much smaller than the previous miscellaneous sugar, but the color is crystal clear and white.
There is still some gap between this kind of sugar and the white sugar of later generations, but it is enough for Datang, which has not introduced white sugar technology from abroad. In fact, if you really want to process brown sugar into white sugar, you only need to use activated carbon.
Yes. Unfortunately, Li Anran doesn't have activated charcoal on hand, so even if he knew how to do it, he wouldn't be able to do it in time.
Moreover, there are many impurities in Zhao Erjia's miscellaneous sugar. Not only the natural pigments need to be filtered into the solution, but also all the impurities need to be filtered out. Looking at the relatively white sugar, Li Anran felt a lot.
Somewhat dissatisfied. But in the eyes of Zhao Er and others, it can no longer be described as ecstasy.
Especially Mrs. Zhao Er and Mrs. Zhao, who manage the whole family, are even more aware of the price difference between miscellaneous sugar and good sugar. Li Anran doesn't need to explain it.
Naturally, the four Zhao brothers would not object to the business of purchasing low-priced miscellaneous sugar in bulk and processing it into high-quality snow sugar for sale, but they were not greedy. Li Anran originally wanted to invest in this business with his technology.
50%, leaving the other 50% for the Zhao brothers, but unexpectedly, the two families did not agree.
It’s not that the 50% share is too small, but that it’s too much.
After a lot of pushing and pushing, Li Anran finally took on the identity of Chunyang Master and decided on the distribution ratio of 30 to 70. At this point, the four members of the Zhao family were already very excited.
In addition to the snow sugar named by Li Anran, how to cook pork deliciously, how to use sauces, spices and several condiments to marinate the cut pork. And how to smoke, steam, dry, bake and other methods
, Li Anran did not reserve the method of deep processing of meat products, and taught him through words and deeds.
As for the confidentiality of these methods, there was no need for Li Anran to give orders. The four Zhao brothers had already vowed not to reveal a word to anyone else. Especially Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, who have parents and brothers and sisters.
, they were given numerous instructions by their respective men, and even their parents could not reveal it.
Regarding this point, the two mothers-in-law unanimously agreed with each other. It’s not that they don’t want their parents’ family to take advantage of it, but it’s just not the way to take advantage of it. As the saying goes, the water thrown out by a married daughter. If you really want to treat each other
If your natal family is good and they make a lot of money in the future, they can definitely provide some benefits from other places.
And this idea became more firm after Li Anran took out his copycat mobile phone and took a few clear photos in the yard of Zhao Er's house. Not to mention the period of the Tang Dynasty, it was during the Republic of China.
, the technology of photography will also be regarded as a terrifying thing by some people living in the lower classes.
They were afraid that their souls would be taken away by that Western machine. Zhao Er and the others also thought the same thing, so they became more and more awed in their hearts.
Some people may say, why doesn’t Li Anran lower his profile and mingle with Zhao Er and the others? Isn’t that what is written in similar time-travel novels? The protagonist mingle with the ancients, and then the latter become so grateful that they wish they could even die.
Sell it to the other party, and then hello, me, everyone, and it will develop quickly.
If you have to take photos to scare people, isn't this superfluous?
In fact, it is not that Li Anran has never thought about this, and given the simple environment of ancient people, it is not impossible to achieve the level in those online novels. But in Li Anran's view, it is only possible to do so after having a certain foundation and strength.
Being close to the people and caring for the people, but lowering your stature without doing anything else will only make people look down upon you.
Apart from a made-up identity, what else can I do to achieve this level of success? Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments, and giving both kindness and power is the most appropriate thing. The most important thing is that the ancients described in the novels have such simple plots, Li Anran
