Shen An was so badly harmed by Qian Ya that he didn't even know what kind of person this person was.

Speaking of this moneyed charlatan, many people in Chang'an City felt itchy with hatred.

Qian Yaqi is the main cadre of Yongfeng Treasury, and those under him are the most ruthless thugs of the Treasury.

They torture people in endless ways, all with the purpose of making debtors obediently hand over their properties and fields.

In order to achieve this goal, countless people were forced by them to jump into wells, throw themselves into lakes, and hang themselves.

"So, you don't have to sympathize with such people at all." Ah Da crossed his legs and looked very relaxed.

It seems that he is somewhat of a family member.

"What about Yongfeng Treasury?" Shen An already knew who Qian Yaji was. He nodded repeatedly and pointed out the key points.

"Who opened this money bank?"

The background of Yongfeng Treasury is what he is concerned about.

"Yongfeng Treasury," Ada frowned and began to think deeply.

"I only heard that it is the number one treasury in the capital. It has plenty of money and never has any debt that cannot be collected. Even the Chang'an County government has to give him some respect."

Such a big business must have a background. Shen An asked again: "Ada, do you know why my father borrowed debt in the first place?"

Qian Yaji didn't get much news, so he could only place his hope on the servants in the mansion.

When he thought of Shen Quan's tragic death, Ada put away his joking expression.

He said sadly: "Lang Jun, if Ada knew, he would have told you long ago. I really don't know."

…………

Five days later, as Shen An expected, all the rock sugar crystallized.

Shen An took the porcelain lid into the main room and poured all the crystallized rock sugar on the table. At such a good time, Furong and Ada were naturally indispensable.

The two of them came to the table and watched Shen An operate.

Part of the rock sugar is naturally broken, with good shape and color.

There were still parts of the boards that were stuck together. Shen An found a small mallet and smashed them one by one into small pieces.

Furong looked at these rock candies and couldn't help but be happy.

“Really like ice cubes!”

She still remembered the taste of rock sugar, so sweet and moist, it was really unforgettable.

The only difference is that the rock candy that day was still a little sticky, but now it has all turned into hard pieces.

"But, Lang Jun, Ada doesn't understand, can you make money in this way?"

What a good slave, she still thinks about making money, Shen An silently praised.

"Don't worry, this is just a preparation to make money. Only if this step is successful can we make big money."

"Take it and try how it tastes."

Shen An gave them a few pieces, and Furong was careful about everything she ate. She only put the rock candy in her mouth and sucked it in carefully.

Let the sweet taste of rock sugar fill your entire mouth.

Ah Da didn't have such patience. Shen An could hear the sound of him crunching the rock candy.

"It's so sweet!" they both agreed.

Shen An really didn't lie. Today's rock candy is indeed much more delicious than the one he ate that day.

"Come on, let's go to the streets and continue buying raw materials."

Being familiar with the road, they arrived at the West Market in a short time.

This time, the target is not the Bilo store, but the largest condiment stores in the West Market.

Business is booming in Chang'an City, merchants gather here, all kinds of business can be done, and everything you can think of can be sold.

The scale effect has also appeared in Datang. Different types of shops are often opened together, such as wine shops and restaurants, and hotels are usually connected to them.

Several well-known condiment shops in Chang'an City were gathered at the east corner of Cross Street in West City. Shen An walked into the largest one, full of ambition.

The shop owner is chubby and has a greasy look on his face.

When they saw the three people entering the door, they immediately came over to greet them.

"Madam, what do you need?"

"We have all kinds of condiments here. As long as the lady can think of it, we can sell it."

In his opinion, anyone who goes to the store to buy condiments must be a young lady.

Fu Rong looked confused: "Lang Jun, what should we buy? Light high sugar?"

The boss was stunned: "It turns out it's the young man who wants to buy seasonings!"

He rubbed his hands, quite curious.

"No way?"

Shen An walked to the counter. The layout here was similar to that of later generations. Various condiments were also placed in square grids and displayed to customers.

He looked at it casually and asked for bean paste, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and other things.

These things will be used for cooking in the future, and nothing is missing.

Next, he walked towards the cloth bag containing light sugar.

As expected of a store that specializes in selling seasonings, the inventory of Light and High Sugar is much larger than that of Biro's.

Shen An did a rough calculation and found that there were two big bags full.

He grabbed a handful and observed it carefully. When the boss saw it, he became angry and rushed over to stop him: "Sir, this is a precious thing. You can't look at it like this!"

Light and high sugar melts easily, and people's hands are sweaty. As soon as they come into contact with it, it is guaranteed to be all over the hands and stained with sugar granules.

"You don't have to worry, I've taken care of it, these candies are all mine." Shen An boasted.

"What did you say?"

"You want all of them?" The boss's loud voice successfully attracted the attention of customers in the store.

They gathered in front of the counter and watched this gentle young man bragging.

"Young man, I'm not offending you. You don't seem to know how to cook. Why do you need so much sugar?"

"Besides, do you know how expensive this thing is?"

I said I meant no offense, but in fact every word the boss said was offensive and contemptuous.

"Are you worried that I can't afford it?" Shen An raised his eyebrows and deliberately raised his voice several times.

Furong immediately became nervous, fearing that he would start a fight with the store owner, and glanced at Shen An from time to time.

Shen An waved his hand and threw a banknote to the boss.

"Look, is it enough?"

When the boss saw the numbers on the banknote, his mouth twisted.

Happy.

"Enough, of course it's enough!"

"They are all little ones who are ignorant of Mount Tai. You can look at them as you please. You can take whatever you want. You're welcome."

"Three guan of money, three guan of money!" The boss couldn't help but murmured. Although his voice was not loud, the people around him could hear it clearly and looked at the young man one after another.

"This is a big mistake!"

“It’s so refreshing!”

"What are you buying so much light and high sugar for?" Finally, a young man with good intentions came over to Shen An and asked with courage.

"I want to know..."

"Come to Shanhefang tomorrow and I will tell you on the spot."

"Shanhefang? Xiaolangjun lives in Shanhefang?"

"yes."

"Shenhefang Shenzhai."

Shen An smiled, looked at everyone, and told everyone the truth: "You can have as much sugar as you like, I want them all."

In the middle of the crowd, there were two middle-aged men who nodded to each other. As soon as Shen An saw it, he knew that his move had worked.

“Fresh, so fresh!”

"Let's go take a look tomorrow. I haven't seen anything so new in a long time."

"No."

Ada had already put the cloth bag on his shoulders, and Furong was holding the rest of the condiments. Several people walked onto the West Market Street in a mighty manner.

As soon as they walked out of the store, they saw several shopkeepers from the adjacent condiment store sticking their heads out.
Chapter completed!
