Chapter 18 Advertising Thanks!
Three silo copper coins were exchanged for such a thing, and Ada couldn't swallow the breath. He was carrying a cloth bag and muttering.
"Mr., this is too expensive!"
"Even if rock sugar is delicious, it doesn't cost so much."
They are rich now, and they can't spend all the rewards from Li Shimin in several years, but they can't make it like this.
"Ada, you can change your name in the future." Someone walked freely on the streets of Chang'an with empty hands.
"Ah..." Ada paused.
"You will call A Qian from now on!"
"A Qian?" A Da's mouth trembled three times.
"right!"
"Our future goal is to make money and make a lot of money!"
"Is it to make rock candy to make money?" Furong asked in her bean sauce jar.
"certainly!"
"You don't understand, these are routines."
"As long as we make our fame come, wealth will come."
A Qian frowned and expressed suspicion.
…………
The next morning, the people from the Eunuchs arrived as scheduled, Chen An carried a cloth bag around his waist and welcomed them with a smile.
A Qian and others also came up to help. With their return, all the affairs in the mansion were carried out in an orderly manner, making him, a bachelor, much easier.
After they finished their business, Chen An smiled and said, "Eunuch Xu, everyone is so tired of coming and going in the wind and rain."
"Come on, Xiaguan has some delicious food here, please accept it."
He opened the big cloth bag and saw that the prepared rock candy was divided into small portions by him and placed in different small bags.
Eunuch Xu took the cloth bag and opened it. He didn't recognize the things inside at all.
"What's this?"
"Eunuch Xu, this is rock sugar, which is specially made by Xiaguan. It tastes sweet and can clear the lungs and moisten the throat, which is of great benefit."
"Oh, can this be eaten?"
The other father-in-law also took rock candy and put it in his hands to weigh it. The rock candy was shiny and looked quite popular.
"Can eat!"
"This is specially made by Xiaguan with the secret recipe heirloom, which is even better than light and high sugar."
"Try it all!"
He looked at them with anticipation, and Eunuch Xu put the rock candy in his mouth and immediately exclaimed: "Wow, it's so delicious!"
“What is this made of?”
"It's not cheap!"
"My father-in-law, please accept it. It's just a trick. Just be happy when you eat it."
"You kid is quite filial." Eunuch Xu is nearly forty years old and only treats Chen An as a child.
"Don't worry about eating yourself, and leave some for the brothers in the palace!"
The horse team slowly left. Chen An nodded when he heard Eunuch Xu's words. It was believed that within a day or two, the reputation of this rock can spread in the harem.
With the appreciation of the high-ranking officials and nobles, are you still worried that rock candy will not be sold?
In fact, he could have taken the aristocratic route and asked Li Zhi, Fang Yiai and others to help promote rock candy, but he did not do so.
The reason is nothing else. In addition to making money, he also hopes to promote some advanced production experience in the Tang Dynasty, which requires public recognition.
As the guardian of the Imperial Well, his errands were quite leisurely. He dug a bucket of water in the well and used the water from the Imperial Well to clean the dust on the edge of the Imperial Well, which was considered as the best use of things.
In the past, Chen Quan guarded Yujing, but never refused to drink Yujing's water. The family always had to go to the old public well on the cross street to get water.
Chen An can still remember the smell of the well water, which is slightly astringent and has a lot of impurities.
He cleaned the wellhead and opened the yard gate.
Everything was as he expected. Several people had stood at the door. They hesitated and didn't know if Chen An was at home, and wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter.
It was not until I saw his face that I ran over in groups.
"Little Langjun, as you said, we are all here. You can also show us what light and high sugar can produce."
The person who spoke was the fat boss of the seasoning shop. Chen An remembered that his surname was Wei, and the remaining people were brought by him. After a closer look, they all turned out to be the owners of the adjacent seasoning shop.
There were also a few onlookers who came to join in the fun.
"It'll start soon, everyone wait."
"You guys try this first."
Furong stepped forward and stuffed two pieces of rock candy to each boss. These were made overnight when he tried the best ratio several days ago.
As the technology gets better and better, the texture and luster of this rock sugar are the best, without any impurities.
As soon as the fat boss's tongue touched the rock sugar, his taste was completely opened.
That kind of soft and sweet taste is something he has never experienced before.
This sweetness is also very different from the sweetness of light and high sugar. It feels a little sweet and a little moist, and it feels great.
Several people praised each other and immediately became very interested in rock candy. Especially the onlookers, all holding rock candy, and couldn't help but feel happy.
Chen An invited several people to the stove. The pot was already heated, the alum solution was prepared, and all kinds of preparations were ready.
"What everyone ate just now is called rock candy."
"This kind of sugar is made from light and high sugar as raw materials. If you think it's good, why not come and have a look."
When he put a large scoop of sugar in the pot, a burst of exclamation broke out on the spot.
Too wasteful!
He is indeed a rich man!
Rich!
In the eyes of the onlookers, someone's actions are simply wasteful things or inhumane waste.
Chen An calmly fiddled with the sugar solution. He had tried it many times before, and whether it was the technique of steaming rock sugar or the preparation of the rice solution, it had reached perfection.
When the fat boss saw him pouring a small bowl of white liquid into the pot, he quickly asked: "Little Langjun, what is this?"
"It's just alum." He said mysteriously.
The fat boss nodded thoughtfully, Chen An thoroughly mixed the alum solution and the sugar solution, heated it, and then poured it on the drying tray.
These drying trays are also temporarily purchased by Chen'an. They must be large and flat, and they must not easily stick to sugar liquid.
So the first choice was the ceramic plate. He placed both plates of sugar in the yard, and the bosses surrounded the plate and pointed and poked.
"Is this rock candy?"
"It doesn't look like it!"
Chen An smiled and said, "It's not done yet. It's only half done. You have to wait five days before you can turn it into a rock candy cube that everyone eats."
"What are the benefits of this thing besides being delicious?" The fat boss, Lao Wei, is a person with a very sensitive sense of business. He can let go of his business and go to Shanhefang to watch the fun. This means that he has put this matter in his heart.
"If there is more utility."
"I don't know that rock sugar is not only good at flavor, but also can cure diseases."
"Treatment? Can this small thing be so useful?" the fat boss asked.
"It is very useful, so it is good choice to relieve wheezing and coughing, moisten the lungs and clear fire." Chen An was attentive and decent sales.
You must be patient when doing business, and even more so if you want to make a lot of money.
He wanted to make money and make a lot of money, but he was not in a hurry. How could he expect someone who knew nothing about rock sugar to open his money bag in just a short while?
As long as they arouse their interest, it is enough to spread the reputation of Rock Candy.
