The first heavy snowfall after winter came quietly at night on the first day of the winter moon.

Early in the morning, Su Wanqiu pushed open the door and saw the earth covered in silver, and immediately became excited.

The snow had stopped in the sky, and there was no wind, so it wasn't very cold. So after breakfast, she put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants, tied up a scarf, put on her ear cups and cotton hats, and put on a pair of cotton shoes made by Liu's family on her feet. She greeted her family and ran out of the village.

There is a fertile field to the west of the village, and further to the west is a large forest. A river about two meters wide divides the village and fields. At this time, the river water is frozen strong, and there are already children who are not afraid of the cold and skate on it and have ice cars and snowball fights.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope my beets and soybeans will have a good harvest next year."

After walking along the fields for a long time, she even saw a hare for food at the foot of the mountain. Su Wanqiu was so playful that she couldn't catch up with her after chasing her for a long time. She didn't care. She patted the snow on her body and walked on the way home.

The rabbits given by Shen Yuanxi and the others last time were stewed and eaten. What a pity, but there was not much oil at home at that time. When the soybean harvest is completed this autumn, we must make a few more buckets of soybean oil, and then urge my brother and Yunhai and Yunyang to make a few more rabbits and make two pots of cold-eating rabbits.

Thinking in her mind, she soon arrived at the riverside. Su Wanqiu walked up to the arch bridge. Suddenly, she felt that the person standing opposite her looked familiar. She recognized her carefully. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss Zhong, why are you here?"

"Huh? The third girl."

Boss Zhong turned around and nodded as saying hello. Here, Su Wanqiu stepped down from the small bridge quickly, came to Boss Zhong, and said in surprise: "Do you... have relatives here?"

"No, I have an uncle in Jinbao Village, about five miles away from you. I came to my uncle's house yesterday and came here for a short stay today. I thought about seeing what beets grew... What exactly is it? I walked around Jinbao Village for several times, but I didn't find any beets. My aunt also said that only you Wufeng Village has cowhide, which shows that this is a treasure land."

Su Wanqiu fell silent, and after a while, he whispered: "Boss Zhong still can't bear to leave the sugar shop, right?"

"I can't bear to leave?" Boss Zhong's face froze, but then he laughed dryly: "How is it possible? What's the point? What's there to be that I can't bear to leave? Besides, five hundred taels of silver, my sugar shop and the grocery store, can be sold in three hundred together."

After speaking, his voice gradually became low. Su Wanqiu sighed, looked up at the vast field, and shook his head and said, "I don't say secret words in front of Mingren. I know that Boss Zhong has put his efforts into the sugar shop. Every year, he can only ask the transportation team in the capital to buy some sugar cane and buy it with a lot of money. If he didn't really love this industry, who would have endured such long-lasting sorrows."

Boss Zhong stopped talking. After a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "I have been poor since I was a child. My parents sent me to be an apprentice, which happened to be sent to a sugar shop. I followed my master to make candy. I spent twenty years working. Because I was diligent, I saved some capital and came back to Daxing County to open a Changji Sugar Farm. I didn't make money at first, but I had no choice but to open a grocery store. After that, the business gradually improved. Although it was not enough to be rich, I had a lot of surplus. It can be said that most of my life has been brought to me by candy. The girl sent beets before, and I thought I could do a big deal, but... man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations!"

Su Wanqiu was a little sad. She felt sorry for Boss Zhong, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She couldn't help but take her anger on Fang Xuesong and gritted her teeth and said, "You said Young Master Fang is the same. You are not going to be a good brother-in-law of Prince Rong, and you have to open a sugar shop. Isn't this causing trouble? What kind of sugar making he knows?"

Boss Zhong smiled and said, "You can't say that. Young Master Fang doesn't understand, so he naturally knows how to manage him. And with his identity, whether it is to promote this sugar shop or promote beets, it is much easier than me. As long as the third girl can successfully plant beets, my northern provinces will no longer have to rely on sugarcane in the south in the future. The sugar production will increase a lot. Perhaps by that day, sugar will no longer be a rare thing that only high-ranking officials can afford. Even rural children can eat various sweet candies during festivals."

"Boss Zhong's mind is really admirable."

Boss Zhong waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't afford to praise the girl. What kind of vision do I have, a commoner? I just saw the lives of the people and felt it was because I felt it."

"That's also admirable." Su Wanqiu said seriously.

The two walked along the path to the village, and Su Wanqiu pointed to the foot of the mountain: "My beets are dug there, very close to our home, and this beet cannot grow anywhere. Last autumn, all the things that can be dug nearby were dug. If you only rely on wild beets this year, you may not have a thousand pounds. Just see the yield you planted."

Boss Zhong smiled and said, "I see the girl's confidence, and I think the yield of this beet will not be too low."

Su Wanqiu nodded: "It may not be as high as I imagined, but at least, it should not be a problem to plant it." After saying that, he was excited: "Young Master Fang just came to Daxing County to rest. Suddenly, he became famous, or felt that beets were new, so he wanted to open a sugar shop. His ambition was not here. Boss Zhong was waiting patiently. After a year or two, my beets will be planted. If you open another sugar shop, he wouldn't care if you come."

"Is this good... OK?"

Boss Zhong was very moved, but hesitated in his expression. Su Wanqiu smiled and said, "Why is it not good? Can Young Master Fang still monopolize the sugar manufacturing industry in the north? He is Prince Rong's brother-in-law. He really dares to monopolize a business, so the court officials will not watch it. Although I am a commoner, I also know that the court does not allow officials and nobles to compete for profits with the people. Although this is just a piece of paper, with this ban, those high-ranking officials always have concerns. If they don't see that most of their industries are secretly operated? In this way, if Young Master Fang monopolizes the sugar manufacturing industry, it will be like placing himself as a target. If the court officials criticize the pen, it will also implicate his brother-in-law Prince Rong. He is a smart person and will definitely not do such a thing. So Boss Zhong just wait patiently and will have a chance to get you back to your old career."

Boss Zhong looked at Su Wanqiu in shock, and after a while, Surong said: "Miss is just talking about my mind and pattern. I think your knowledge is unmatched. Even those scholars and students, even if they say words, they will always be praised for the country, the people's livelihood, the court officials, and the emperors and princes, but you may not be able to see it thoroughly."

Su Wanqiu shook his head, only said good things, but he thought in his heart: Then I am not going to be stronger. Scholars have to think about things that have been doing for half their lives. I have been studying repeatedly in textbooks since I was a child. When I grew up, there are still so many novels of time travel through power and strategy to read. Without this knowledge, I should apologize to the time travel master.
