Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 29 29. Overjoyed
Thinking of this, Chen Daniu nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoyu, I promise you, I will never let my second brother and his wife know about our cooperation."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Chen Xiaoyu showed joy on his face.

To be honest, if Chen Daniu was more pedantic and refused to agree to Chen Xiaoyu's condition, Chen Xiaoyu would rather sell the prescription than cooperate with Chen Daniu.

Yuanshen hated Chen Wangshi and Jia Yinhua to death.

Chen Xiaoyu's hard planning was not to make Chen Wangshi and Jia Yinhua live a good life.

"Okay, let's say it!" Chen Daniu stretched out his palm and said.

"A four-horse is hard to follow!" Chen Xiaoyu stretched out his palm and patted Chen Daniu, and answered.

After high-fiving the pledge, Chen Xiaoyu and Chen Daniu looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, Chen Daniu asked: "Xiaoyu, can you take Fang Zi with you? Can you let me have a look?"

"Grandpa, Fangzi is with me." Chen Xiaoyu pointed to her own brain and asked, "Wait a moment, I'll write a copy for you right away."

"Ah? Good~! Good~!" Chen Daniu repeatedly praised.

Chen Qingzhu had mentioned Chen Xiaoyu's intelligence to Chen Daniu before.

Chen Daniu thought that Chen Qingzhu was exaggerating.

At this moment, seeing Chen Xiaoyu said that he had memorized the sugar making recipe in his mind, Chen Daniu couldn't help but admire him greatly.

"Grandpa, Xiaoyu would like to borrow your pen and paper. May I?" Chen Xiaoyu pointed to the desk not far away and asked.

"Please." Chen Daniu gave way.

Chen Daniu is a boy, and he is also a Lizheng, so there must be no shortage of pens, ink, paper and inkstones at home.

Taking advantage of the time when Chen Xiaoyu was grinding ink, Chen Daniu said with emotion: "Xiaoyu, to tell you the truth, more than 20 years ago, my grandfather had great ambitions and wanted to make a fortune by making sugar. It's a pity..."

The sugar sold in the Xuanyuan Dynasty is basically sucrose produced in the south.

The raw material of sucrose is sugar cane.

When Chen Daniu was young, he was very aggressive.

Hearing the traveling merchants from the south talking about the vast sugarcane plantations in the south, Chen Daniu was full of longing.

Chen Daniu spent a lot of money and asked a traveler to buy sugarcane seedlings from the south and try planting them in Xinghua Village.

With the raw materials for making sugar, Chen Daniu believed that with his clever mind, he would definitely be able to figure out a recipe for making sugar.

It's a pity that as beautiful as the ideal is, the reality is as skinny as it is.

I don't know if the sugarcane seedling seller deliberately cheated Chen Daniu, or the water and soil in Xinghua Village are not suitable for growing sugarcane.Chen Daniu spent 100 taels of silver to buy sugarcane seedlings, and set aside an acre of good land to plant them.

After a few months, the sugarcane grew sparsely, and most of the seedlings rotted in the field before they grew.When a small part grows, the sugarcane is short and thin, and the taste is not satisfactory, with a salty taste in the sweetness.

Chen Daniu's "dream of making a fortune through innovation" died just like that.

"Xiaoyu! We don't produce sugarcane here, and the raw materials for sugar making have to go to the south to buy goods. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth!" Chen Daniu couldn't help talking about the past.

"Grandpa, the raw material for making sugar in my recipe is not sugarcane, but sugar beet." Chen Xiaoyu said.

"What is a beet?" Chen Daniu was puzzled.

"Grandpa, look." After Chen Xiaoyu finished writing the prescription, she stood up and pointed to a few beets outside the window, and said.

"What? I have beets at home?" Chen Daniu was very surprised.

Chen Daniu has lived for more than 50 years, but he really didn't know that there is such a crop as sugar beet in Xinghua Village?

Seeing Chen Daniu anxiously looking out the window, Chen Xiaoyu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Grandpa, let's go to the backyard to talk."

"Okay, okay." Chen Daniu nodded fiercely, and followed Chen Xiaoyu's footsteps to the backyard.

The backyard of Chen Daniu's house is twice as big as that of his younger brother's.

Looking at the few unremarkable "weeds" in the corner, Chen Daniu was a little suspicious.

"This weed is beet? Xiaoyu, are you sure?" Chen Daniu asked.

It's no wonder Chen Daniu didn't believe it, it was really beyond Chen Daniu's knowledge.

This kind of weed can be seen all over the mountains and plains in Xinghua Village, and the villagers use it to feed pigs.

"Grandpa, look, this is the candy I tried yesterday according to the recipe. Grandpa, please try it." Chen Xiaoyu didn't talk nonsense when she saw this, and took out a few candies from a green purse at her waist. some candy.

Chen Daniu was dumbfounded by the amber candies.

After a long while, Chen Daniu stretched out his trembling hands and picked up a small grain of sugar.

The slightly sweet taste in the mouth made Chen Daniu couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Really~!It turned out to be true!

The mixed vegetables fed to pigs can really make sugar.

Oh, no, this is not a miscellaneous vegetable, this is a proper treasure vegetable!
Chen Daniu was overjoyed.

"Xiaoyu, you haven't told anyone about the beets, have you?" Chen Daniu asked excitedly.

"No." Chen Xiaoyu shook her head.

"Good boy, good." Chen Daniu raised his trembling hand, wanting to touch Chen Xiaoyu's head.

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu's calm gaze, Chen Daniu changed the direction of his hand, patted Chen Xiaoyu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Xiaoyu, after a while, I will record it for you in our family tree. a sum."

Chen Xiaoyu froze for a moment, then smiled.

In this time and space, it is a great honor for a woman to leave a record in her natal family's genealogy.

Chen Xiaoyu didn't care about these false names.However, in order not to discourage Chen Daniu's enthusiasm, Chen Xiaoyu did not object.

"Xiaoyu, after the autumn harvest, I plan to plant all the tens of acres of high-quality fields at home with this kind of beets. What do you think?" Chen Daniu asked.

After the exchange just now, Chen Daniu has already regarded Chen Xiaoyu as a junior who can communicate on an equal footing.

"Not right." Chen Xiaoyu frowned, and said, "Grandpa, this sugar beet can grow well in the field. It is conceivable that even a poor field will not hinder its growth. How about ..."

When Chen Xiaoyu said this, she couldn't help but stop talking.

"Why not?" Chen Daniu asked.

"Grandpa, why don't you find a field of less than ten acres to grow sugar beets, and let the villagers plant some on the wasteland, and then you can just buy them with money." Chen Xiaoyu said.

"Ask the villagers to grow beets? It's not appropriate." Chen Daniu shook his head and said, "If everyone knows that our family buys beets for sugar production, I don't know how jealous we will be!"

"Grandpa, forgive Xiaoyu for saying it bluntly, it's hard to get fat on one's own!" Chen Xiaoyu said bluntly.

Chen Daniu was silent.

The Chen family wanted to build a sugar workshop and sell the finished sugar. The villagers of Xinghua Village couldn't hide such a big news.

Although Chen Daniu is Li Zheng, he can't seal the mouths of the villagers and prevent everyone from talking.

Only when the interests are related, the villagers will wholeheartedly look forward to the well-being of Chen Daniu.

After thinking about the key points, Chen Daniu finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, Xiaoyu, I will follow what you said. When we eat meat, we should let the villagers share a share."
