Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 223: Yellow mud water is boiled into sugar, what is Lin Che going to do?
Hear this.

Xu Miaoyun was pleasantly surprised. She raised her head with a flushed face and said excitedly:

"Don't mind, sir, I can do any job."

"May I ask something sir?"

"The little girl must do her best..."

"If I can help you a little bit, it will be easier for us to do business when we go back. I'm afraid that I won't be able to satisfy him."

In fact, Empress Ma did not explain anything to Xu Miaoyun, and there was no such thing as a disagreement. It was just that she naturally felt that it was a great honor to work for Lin Che.

Even if she hadn't seen Emperor Hongwu, she would not be able to hold her head up even if she was being punished by Mr. Lin. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it even if he was beaten to death.

Although this Mr. Lin is young, he has a temperament that even impressed the emperor.

There's nothing wrong with doing some odd jobs for this imperial master.

When I was at home, I did it all the time.

She, Xu Miaoyun, is not a spoiled young lady.

Lin Che saw Xu Miaoyun's resolute attitude and was not used to her. She didn't know if this girl, who looked like a flower, could work. Anyway, she would use it first.

"Girl, help me go to the street first and buy some sugar. Brown sugar or black sugar will do."

"On the way back, if you come across loess, bring me some loess. You want the kind of red soil. You don't have it in our yard. Please look for it, girl. You must have the kind of red loess."

Say it.

Lin Che took out the money bag from her pocket and handed it directly to Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun was a little confused when she heard these two things explained by Lin Che. What do these two things do together?

"gentlemen?"

"You mean sugar and loess?"

"You gave your order correctly, right?"

Xu Miaoyun held the money bag, unable to hide the confusion on her face, and deliberately repeated sugar and loess.

"That's right!"

"It's just sugar and loess. Go buy it on the street now!"

Lin Che answered the question in the affirmative and did not want Xu Miaoyun to explain what these two things were for.

see.

Xu Miaoyun opened her mouth but stopped talking.

I wanted to ask, but I just saw with my own eyes the "ferocious look" of Lin Che confronting the emperor. He suppressed the curiosity in his heart, put down the tea tray in his hand, bowed to Lin Che gracefully, and left the mansion in an elegant manner.

Seeing Xu Miaoyun walking out of the door.

Lin Che relaxed her tense body and suddenly felt relaxed, and murmured:
"I've been married for two lifetimes, but I still feel nervous when I see a beautiful girl."

Just now, Lin Che just pretended to be calm in front of Xu Miaoyun, but he was also panicking in his heart.

Although I feel that I am relaxed and carefree by myself, I still cannot change the habits of my previous life.

……

The work of a cup of tea.

Xu Miaoyun walked into the living room with two packages in her hands.

She placed the brown sugar she bought on the table, and another package containing loess on the ground.

Skillful movements and attention to detail.

Lin Che nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this girl who is as beautiful as a flower is not just a flower vase, but also a good person at work.

"Sir, I will bring you everything you want."

She opened the package on the table first:
"Here's the brown sugar you asked for."

Then he opened the package on the ground and asked uncertainly:

"Sir, I don't know if this loess is what you want?"

Lin Che stood up, knelt down, and looked at the loess. The loess was red in color and was exactly the loess he wanted. His eyes unconsciously noticed Xu Miaoyun's feet.

There was mud stuck to the sides of her shoes, but she didn't leave any footprints when she entered the living room. She must have rubbed the mud off the soles before entering the house.It can be seen that this girl pays great attention to details and is very knowledgeable about general matters.

"The girl is tired!"

Lin Che sighed sincerely, raised her eyes to meet the girl's expectant gaze, her heart froze, and she subconsciously asked:

"Girl, can you make a fire?"

"what?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he realized and said quickly:
"Yes, I will!"

"Then please trouble me, girl, to light the fire in the kitchen and boil the brown sugar you bought."

Lin Che politely handed Xu Miaoyun a cup of tea on the table and asked her to take a breath before going to the kitchen. She did not forget to say:
"The sugar needs to be boiled, stirred while boiling, and finally boiled into a paste. Don't make it mushy."

"Well, otherwise you will have to go to the streets again, girl!"

I heard this.

Xu Miaoyun, who originally took the teacup, was holding the teacup in the air, looking at Lin Che with doubts in her eyes.

Brown sugar boiled into sugarpaste?

Isn't this...a huge waste?
You must know that these six kilograms of brown sugar cost three taels of silver, which can be exchanged for a thousand kilograms of grain, which is enough to feed a family for a year.

But if it is boiled into sugar paste, there will be more than a kilogram left at most.

With such a huge loss, how much sugar water should be brewed?
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but feel distressed!
"Mr. Lin?"

"Why did you do this?"

"Why should this brown sugar be boiled into sugarpaste? You must know that sugarpaste is not easy to preserve and will become moldy if stored for a long time."

"Aren't you doing something that's not worth the gain?"

Although Xu Miaoyun was born in the Duke of Wei's family, she has been the head of the family for these years. The head of the family knows that oil and salt are expensive, and brown sugar was originally a high-end consumer product in the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary families cannot afford it. Even her own house, the Duke of Wei, cannot just buy it and eat it casually. .

"you do not need to worry."

Lin Che smiled indifferently:

"Just do as I ask and don't worry about anything else."

"When I make the stuff, you can take some back to try it."

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyun became even more puzzled and thought to herself, why should I bring this sugarpaste back?This thing is not easy to preserve.

Although there were huge doubts in my heart, I still agreed:
"Yes, sir."

Xu Miaoyun did not continue to ask questions, but went to the kitchen to get busy.

Xu Miaoyun squatted under the stove, lit the fire, added firewood, and then gently fanned it with a cattail leaf fan.

When the fire got strong, Xu Miaoyun poured all the brown sugar he bought into the iron pot, picked up the wooden shovel, and heard stirring in the pot.

Soon.

The brown sugar in the pot gradually becomes sticky.

Gradually boil into sugar paste.

And this time.

Lin Che also came in from outside.

I saw him holding a bucket in one hand, yellow mud in the other, and a funnel-shaped object under his arm, with a happy expression.

"Girl, you have worked hard!"

"Leave it to me to boil the sugar. You can just watch."

Without waiting for Xu Miaoyun to reply, Lin Che took the wooden shovel from her hand, scooped up the sugarpaste in the pot, placed the funnel on the bucket, and poured the sugarpaste into the funnel.
Do some work.

Xu Miaoyun's beautiful eyes were full of doubts, and she stared at Lin Che's operations with wide eyes.

All I saw was the loess that had turned into muddy water. I wondered what on earth Lin Che was going to do?
Isn't it a waste of money to pour the extremely precious brown sugar paste into the yellow soil dug by oneself?

Anyway, this was bought with a few taels of silver.

Isn't it a pity that it's been ruined like this? !
