Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 19 The Whitest Sugar

After finally sending the county lieutenant away, Wang Cheng coldly pleaded guilty to Widow Li and went back to the room first. His body and bones could not last too long.Mrs. Xie and Wang Qingzhu came out, and they finally made it through. Widow Li didn't say anything more, she glared at Wang Xiu with her beautiful eyes, scolded Youqin without saying a word, and dragged her back.

Wang Xiu curled her lips and muttered in a very low voice: "What are you staring at! Don't care about me, it's showing your big eyes, isn't it?"

Xie asked with concern: "Brother, what's going on? Look at your father's complexion is even worse."

Thinking of Widow Li's murderous gaze, and Qin Moyan's aggrieved face, Wang Xiu shrugged, raised her brows, and said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on."

"Miss Li has always been nice to you, why is she turning her eyes away suddenly." Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu.The tone is a little crazy.

Wang Qingzhu also rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, stop making trouble, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Wang Xiuzhen was speechless and admired this mother and daughter. If they were to be entangled by them, they would have to be interrogated by their mothers for a night. If they were not sick, they would be made sick. He had no choice but to play sloppy eyes, spread his hands, and said with a smile: " It's okay, it's okay, I want to go out, mother will go and ask daddy." As he spoke, he had already run back to the hut.

"This child." Xie shook his head helplessly for a while.

Wang Qingzhu smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Mother, you can rest assured that Brother Xiu will be fine like that."

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at Wang Qingzhu, and said worriedly: "I hope!"

After Wang Qingzhu left, Mrs. Xie went into the house to see her husband. Wang Cheng hesitated and said softly, "My lady, how much money do you have at home?"

Xie's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "There is still some money, which can support the expenses for a month or two."

Wang Cheng couldn't help turning pale, and shook his head.

Mrs. Xie slowly walked in front of her, looked at her husband softly, and said softly: "Officials, don't be depressed, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

"If I had known it earlier, I would have agreed to Zhang Wenshan. It would be better than today." Wang Cheng smiled wryly.

Xie frowned slightly, and said resolutely: "Why should the officials speak in frustration, his Zhang family is too deceitful, we can't save the shop, but the officials have tried their best."

Wang Cheng couldn't help being a little bit shocked. His wife was usually well-educated, gentle and graceful, but she didn't expect to say such strong words, she was by no means inferior to a man.

Thinking of Wang Xiu and He Laodao talking about wealth and all kinds of amazing remarks, he regretted so much, he punched his leg, and said fiercely: "It's just that I am incompetent and self-willed. If I could listen to my brother one day sooner, I wouldn't be in the same place today." .”

"Officer."
.
"Stop making trouble, Xiaobao, if you make trouble again, I won't bring you fruit to eat next time." Youqin Mo Yan stared at a little fat boy with his hands pinched on his waist, angrily.

The little chubby boy blinked, as if he was reluctant but still nostalgic, his small eyes glistened with tears.

"Okay, Xiaobao, go back obediently, and I'll come see you again in a few days." Youqin Moyan couldn't bear it, and he always smiled charmingly, knelt down and patted the little fat boy's head, and said softly: "Yes!" Be obedient!"

The little fat boy pouted, and said in a soft voice: "Sister, what you say is what you say!"

"Pull the hook." Youqin Mo Yan's smile was very bright, and the two dimples were especially charming.

"If you hang yourself with a hook, it won't change for 100 years. Whoever changes is a puppy."

"Don't play tricks!"

"Sister Mo Yan, I'm going back first." The little fat boy smiled happily, turned around and jumped into the door.

At the gate of the nursing home, Wang Xiu stared at Youqin Moyan's most beautiful profile for a long time, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, feeling the stern look from the little fat boy before going back, as if she shouldn't be with their beautiful elder sister , as if taking their eldest sister away, he felt a little wronged.

"The eldest sister of the Youqin family is really a good person who is one in a million." The old man looked at Wang Xiu thoughtfully.

It's the third time to accompany Youqin Moyan. He and the old Cangtou are gradually getting acquainted, and he knows more about Youqin Moyan. The throbbing in his heart gradually increases in frequency, and his eyes become softer. guilty conscience.

I'll rub it, just say what you say, why are you staring at me with such squinting eyes?
On the way back, they were silent halfway, and Wang Xiucai had nothing to say: "It seems that the nursing home is not bad, at least these children can eat."

Youqin Mo Yan seemed a little sad, peeking at Wang Xiu, but found that Wang Xiu was tilting his head to look at her, suddenly his pretty face moved, and he said in a low voice, "Brother, what's going on at home?"

"What's the matter, let's just say that." Wang Xiu chuckled, he didn't want to talk about the embarrassment at home.

"It will get better, I believe brother." Youqin Moyan covered her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes glanced at Wang Xiu's cheeks from the corner of her eyes, with a playful look on her face.

Wang Xiu fell into anxiety about the future, but didn't pay attention to Youqin Moyan's coquettish attitude, and said casually: "These days are very busy."

"Busy, what is brother busy?"

"Restraint." Wang Xiu said, but she smiled, shook her head and said, "Okay, go back quickly, or the aunt will scold people if it's too late."

"Bah, my mother won't." Youqin Mo Yan gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes, but his face turned red.
.
"It's been 25 times!" In the small room, Wang Xiu looked at the funnel with a tired expression, but his eyes were full of challenge.

It is impossible for him to buy brown sugar in large quantities, and he cannot conduct extravagant experiments. Everything has to rely on vague memory, using a small amount of brown sugar each time, failing again and again, and then groping a little bit.At the beginning, he used a mouthful to place a tile tank, plugged the leak with straw, and poured the yellow muddy water down the brown sugar in the funnel, but he failed every time. The sugar was not particularly white, no different from frost sugar. .

This time, he simply boiled the black sugar and poured it into a tile that was blocked with straw. After the brown sugar was solidified, the straw was removed, and then the brown sugar in the funnel was poured down with yellow muddy water. The black residue flowed from the funnel into the tank below. There is hoarfrost left in the middle, and the top layer is about three inches, very, very white.

"White sugar." After No.20's five experiments, staring at the crystalized sugar, Wang Xiu's eyes gradually showed ecstasy of surprise. He could hardly suppress the joy deep in his heart, and almost jumped up, so excited trembling.

It worked, I finally made it!It is definitely white sugar. Compared with the frosting sugar on the market, it is not at the same level in terms of purity and whiteness.

After being ecstatic, he closed his eyes and meditated. He thought a lot, and finally took the first step. It was not too late, but what he considered the most was the classic theory of later generations, how to maximize the benefits and save the fallen. The home of the abyss.

After a while, he woke up from his contemplation, smiled nervously, and said, "Damn it, that's how the sugar was made, not with mud or to block the tiles."

He licked out the crystallized white sugar and formed a whole piece of sugar. He couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to himself: "No way! Can you directly put the brown sugar..."

He didn't speak any more, and immediately sat on the ground, staring closely at the infinitely transparent white sugar, frowning, and sat for half an hour without moving.

Just as Wang Qingzhu came in quietly, Wang Xiu suddenly slapped her thigh and said loudly: "That's right! I'm such a pig brain, why didn't I think about it." Then he punched the head, jumped up, and laughed loudly: "Use a coarse cotton cloth and pierce the eyes with a needle."

Wang Qingzhu was frightened by his younger brother's actions, and asked cautiously: "Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you, isn't it?"

Wang Xiu didn't seem to hear her sister's words, she was still thinking about the details, she stood there motionless like a dementia.

"Brother Xiu." This frightened Wang Qingzhu, after all, she was a woman, and she was anxious for a moment, so she reached out to touch Wang Xiu's forehead.

In fact, Wang Xiu's question was very simple. When Wang Qingzhu stretched out her hand, he had already thought about the details. He looked at his sister helplessly and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Wang Qingzhu was taken aback, stepped back hastily, looked at Wang Xiu in panic, and said, "Brother Xiu, what kind of epilepsy are you having?"

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes at her sister, and said angrily: "Eldest sister, you are only epileptic, does your brother look like an epileptic?"

"It seems a bit..." Wang Qingzhu looked at Wang Xiu seriously and blinked.

"Eldest sister, you seem to have instant pot ashes on your face." Wang Xiu laughed playfully.

Women always love beauty, and they always care about their own appearance the most. Although Wang Qingzhu is not a peerless beauty, let alone an overwhelming beauty, she is also a beautiful woman. Of course, she is very concerned about her appearance, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it. The residence asked, "Where, where?"

What she waited for was a burst of hearty laughter, and she immediately knew that she was being tricked by her younger brother, so she couldn't help but hit him angrily, shouting: "I let you make fun of people, let you make fun of people."

Wang Xiu begged for mercy while hiding: "Sister, don't hit me, I'm wrong."

"No, you bastard, I must teach you a lesson." Wang Qingzhu twisted Wang Xiu's ear.

"Oh, take it easy." Wang Xiu was in pain, but she didn't dare to resist. She could only look at Wang Qingzhu pitifully. The elder sister is really a woman when she is aggressive!
"Do you dare next time?" Wang Qingzhu said viciously with a 'stern' complexion.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I swear to God." Wang Xiu finally understood that for women, especially beautiful women, you must never make fun of her flaws, and honest people will get mad.

"Sister, look, look quickly, what is this?" Wang Xiu took advantage of Wang Qingzhu's hand to let go, and hurried over to pick up a small plate.

"That's it." Wang Qingzhu was taken aback, and said, "Frost sugar, no, it's whiter than frost sugar, and it's not sea salt."

"Taste." Wang Xiu held the plate and handed it over.

Wang Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, stretched out her jade finger and touched it, and put it on her red lips, her eyes lit up immediately, she stared at Wang Xiu and said: "Brother, this is sugar, it's frosting sugar." Passed the plate, tasted some more, and said in surprise: "How did you make it so white? Don't tell me you've been tinkering with this stuff for so many days?"

Satisfied, Wang Xiu grinned and said, "How about it, eldest sister, your brother is quite capable, right?"

Wang Qingzhu rolled her eyes, gave a 'chi' sound, and said again: "How did you do it?"

"Fang Zi keeps it secret."

"Cut, I don't want to listen to what you want to say." Wang Qingzhu understands the value of the recipe, how can the secret recipe be thrown out at will, the less people who know it, the better.

Wang Xiu smiled flatteringly and said, "Sister is not an outsider, let me tell you a little bit."

Wang Qingzhu blinked her eyes. Although she knew something was wrong, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, brother, sister will never reveal a word."

Wang Xiu couldn't reveal her identity as a time traveler to outsiders. She was lonely in her heart and subconsciously wanted to find someone to share the joy of success.The first thing he thought of was Youqin Moyan. When he was in a daze just now, the sweet little dimple flashed in front of his eyes, but he shook his head and denied it. He can't afford to offend Widow Li, and his family is still under the fence. Stop looking for trouble.

Only the elder sister Wang Qingzhu, through these days of contact, he knows this elder sister better, she is a gentle woman, but she is very strong in her bones, otherwise she would not have returned to her mother's house without shedding a single tear before entering the door. Tian adjusted his mood.Although there were reasons for being extremely disappointed in that man, the arrogance in her bones made the elder sister innately proud.

"Sister, I discovered this thing by accident. It's actually very simple, just use yellow mud water to decolorize brown sugar." Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and said mysteriously: "Although there are a lot of frosting sugar nowadays, their transparency They are not very high, and the price is five layers more expensive than brown sugar. My method is extremely simple, the investment cost is small, and the sugar can be produced quickly, and as much sugar as there is a large tank."

At this point, Wang Qingzhu's expression changed, and she stopped Wang Xiu's words with a gesture.
