The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 147

At night, Zuo Shi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"No, I have to find a way to make more money."

There are two things in this world that can change people's fate, one is money and the other is power.

Power, she can't get enough for the time being, but money, she has a way.

She can earn a lot of money and use the money to help Fu Yuanzhi do many things, such as attracting some forces or something... As long as their wealth accumulates to a certain level, they can fight against Duke Zhen Guo.

No one thinks that there is too much money. For those who want to go up and live a good life, money is a good thing. Even the emperor dare not say that he has enough money, and he will never be short of money from now on. .

So if she has enough money, she can buy what she wants.

Zuo Shi originally planned to take it slow, but now he has to speed up.

"Besides opening a restaurant, what else can I do? And it must be safe."

Zuo Shi began to think, yes, he wants to make money, but the money he makes must be within a safe range.

Otherwise, the money you earn is to make wedding clothes for others, and even your life is gone. What do you need money for?
"There is still a market, and it's better to do something that others don't have, and the profit is relatively large."

But there is a market, and no one else has something with a relatively large profit, so how can it not be coveted?

This seems to be a dead end.

"It's a question of choosing safety, or choosing big profits."

Zuo Shi pondered: "Why don't you take a little risk?"

Blindly clumsy, blindly wanting not to start, then it is impossible to accumulate wealth, and if you are too early, you will be killed.

One must grasp a degree.

"Do you want to sell candy?"

Sugar is a rare thing to come by, but for her, it's not that difficult, she can make sugar.

As long as she controls the amount of sucrose within a reasonable range, although it attracts the attention of others, it will not harm the interests of others too much.

I just don't know how long she can keep the sugar under the greedy heart?
"No, still don't make our modern candy. Tomorrow go see what candy the next-door neighbor eats, and then decide what to do and how much to make."

Since there was also sugar in ancient times, she made ancient sugar, but with a little more skill in the process and a little more output, it would not attract much attention.

And after making these candies, he can also transport the candies to places near the capital to sell them. As long as they control the quantity, they don't sell too many, and they don't make a lot of money. They can also make a lot of money and ensure safety.

"Yes, I'll see it tomorrow, I'll definitely be able to do it well."

Zuo Shi pressed all his thoughts, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.

The next day, he got lost and rushed to his neighbor's house after dinner.

The first one went to the neighbor's house in the east, Mrs. Zhang, because there are several children in the Mrs. Zhang's family, and on weekdays, it is estimated that they buy candy.

"Miss Zhang, I took the liberty to interrupt today, mainly because I want to ask you, what kind of candy is most of the candy we eat on weekdays? Where do you buy it?" Zuo Shi said.

Madam Zhang looked at Zuo Shi's seriousness and asked her what kind of candy she had, which made her a little amused.

"It's just some commonly used winter melon candy, nest candy, maltose, white sugar, and brown sugar."

Zuo Shi was quite surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of types.

Thinking about it again, she also thinks it wrong. In ancient times, sugar was more expensive and rare, but it did not mean that there were no types of sugar in ancient times, but there were fewer.It's just that relatively speaking, there is more sugar now, because people now use sugar cane beets to treat sugar.

However, these things were not found in ancient times, so sugar is relatively rare.

She had to buy a place to grow sugar beets and sugar cane.

"Is sugar expensive? How often do you usually buy some?" Zuo Shi asked.

Zhang said with a smile: "Erwen coin is a maltose, and shiso candy and wax gourd candy are similar. White sugar is 20 cents a pound, brown sugar is 20 a pound. I don't buy it very often, mainly because it's too expensive. Only one egg can be exchanged for one maltose. I just buy a few occasionally and put them at home for the baby to eat."

Zuo Shi understood.

This is because it is expensive to sell, and it is mainly because the process of extracting sugar is really difficult.

"I just don't know, when will I be able to eat cheap candy." Mrs Zhang sighed with emotion.

But it's just a bit of emotion. I know that sugar can't be cheap, so I'm just sighing with emotion.

Zuo Shi: "..."

So he had to buy a lot of land outside, plant a lot of materials, and slowly make the Tang system, and he also had to buy a large number of servants, the kind that signed the death deed, one by one, and brought them into the deep mountains, where they would be separated from the world. Isolation, the kind that makes sugar every day.

Thinking about it, I feel a little panic. If she has enough strength, she doesn't need to cover up.

Let's take a look at the situation slowly. If he made a lot of money from the previous batch of sugar, and then presented this sugar-making recipe to the court, it would be good to get the support of His Majesty the Emperor, but now, she has to use it first. This candy makes some money first, at least until their situation becomes better.

Zuo Shi made up his mind and went to a dim sum shop on the street, bought all kinds of candy and came back to taste it.

"Second sister, why did you buy so much candy? Great, can I take some candy to the academy and share it with other classmates?"

Zuo Shi said: "Okay, but don't take too much. I want to study it. In the future, our family will also make candy."

Zuo Jiang looked at Zuo Shi in surprise: "Our family can also make candy? Second sister, can you do it?"

Zuo Shi said: "Try first, you should be able to tell others about this matter, only our family knows, understand?"

Zuo Jiang nodded again and again: "Second sister, don't worry, I won't say anything."

Zuo Ge said: "Sister, don't worry, I will never say it."

As long as the things in their house are instructed, they can't be said, and no one in the family, whether it is a child or an adult, will talk about it.

This is the tacit understanding formed by them living together for a long time, especially after they experienced the war, this awareness of keeping secrets and avoiding risks has been deeply rooted.

Zuo Ge asked, "But second sister, can you really make candy? You are really amazing."

Zuo Ge felt that her second sister was really amazing. As long as the food arrived, her second sister could basically make it, but she didn't expect that Liantang could also make it.

Zuo Shi: "Actually, this line of work is very simple, as long as you find a method and find good materials. It's very easy to make, but we don't have any materials here, so I have to look for it. If I can't find it, I will have to do it later. grow your own."

She plans to go to the market to buy some sugar beets or sugar cane. She will sell one batch first, and then plant another batch, so she doesn't have to worry about raw materials.
