Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 23 The only way to relieve worries is to get rich!
"Xiedao, is this really icing sugar?"

Looking at the basin of snow-white granules in front of her, Mrs. Zhang's expression of shock was no less than that of Ying Er just now.

"No, it's not icing!"

"I'll just say it!"

"I call it white sugar!"

Zhang: ...

"Dark icing sugar can basically be sold for two pennies a catty in Chang'an City, but if it is replaced with this kind of snow-white white sugar, it can be sold for five pennies a catty, isn't it too much?"

Obviously, Qin Xiedao's way to make a fortune is to make white sugar.

"Most of those who like to eat icing are the female relatives of the Xungui family. They have a high pursuit of appearance. Such icing that looks like snowflakes is definitely more popular than dark icing."

Although Mrs. Zhang felt that icing sugar at five pennies per catty was too expensive.

But objectively speaking, she felt that it was not an exaggeration to sell this thing for five pennies a catty.

In the entire Chang'an City, there is no icing shop that sells such icing.

"Lang Jun, this icing is good. It is too expensive for five pennies a catty. In fact, we can make money as long as we sell it for three pennies a catty."

Yinger has recovered from the shock just now, and began to calculate with great interest how much money the Qin family can earn this time.

"White sugar, let me say it again, we call it white sugar, and it can't be mixed with the dark icing, or it will be too cheap.

As for the price issue you mentioned, do people who can afford icing sugar for two pennies a catty still care that white sugar is sold for five pennies a catty? "

As soon as Qin Xiedao said this, everyone fell silent.

Although they want to say it, they care.

But I have to admit that in Chang'an City, there are really many people who don't care.

It can only be said that the Qin Mansion is too poor now.

"Xiedao, is it troublesome to make this white sugar?"

Mrs. Zhang is responsible for the food and drink of the whole family of the Qin family. Now selling white sugar seems to bring a lot of benefits to the Qin family, so it is natural to consider the next step.

"It's not troublesome, and it can even be said to be very simple. But because it is very simple, this method needs to be kept highly confidential, otherwise if others learn it, our unique business will not be able to continue."

Qin Xiedao really hates the ethos of this era of cherishing oneself with a broom, but when it comes to making sugar, he has become a person who cherishes himself with a broom.

No way, who let the icing be monopolized by the Tianzhu people now?

Before there was a large amount of sugarcane planted in Lingnan, or before Datang's own icing was refined, he didn't have the idea of ​​opening up the white sugar craft.

"The mansion is full of trustworthy people, and there are no outsiders. However, from today on, the secret recipe for making sugar will be kept by you two, Xiedao and Yinger, and no one else will be allowed to know.

Even if Shubao and I ask you, don't say it, so that we can keep it secret to the greatest extent.Especially you, Aye, you can't hide things in your heart. Once he knows how sugar is made, he might be tricked out by someone's routine. "

Zhang's arrangement should be considered very safe.

"No problem! But it will take some time to refine all the icing I bought today into white sugar. In order to speed up, I also need to purchase some iron pots and other materials."

"Luye, take out all the money in the box. If Dalang wants to buy something, you can arrange someone to buy it. Then you ask Qin Fu to go to the West Market to find a shop. It doesn't need to be very big, but the location is better.

After we have made a certain amount of white sugar, we will start selling it there. "

Zhang's work can be regarded as vigorous and resolute.

There is no way, the Qin family is really short of money right now.

How to solve the worries, only get rich.

……

Yang Shidao is in a good mood these days.

Li Shimin adopted his suggestion, and issued several imperial edicts one after another, directly expressing the meaning of punishing the leader and not punishing the followers.

And also specially arranged for Wei Zheng to go to various places in Hebei to appease officials.

Hongnong Yang's family was immediately dispelled of the cloud that had been hanging over the family because of Yang Gongren's dismissal.

"Mr. Lang, in the past two days, there are more than ten times the number of people who want to see you who have sent invitations to see you. Especially those who have passed the Jinshi examination, but the court has not yet arranged a suitable position, and the people who come here are even more diligent. "

In the Yang Mansion, the butler Yang Ze happily reported the changes in the mansion to Master Yang.

The previous Yang Mansion was also full of people.

But in the last half month, it has been a bit cold.

Now, however, the excitement has quickly recovered, even worse than that.

"Your Majesty asked me to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials because he believed in my character. I would never agree to someone who wants to hold an important position by flattery. If someone who has nothing to do with me comes to visit me in the future, you You can directly help me refuse."

Yang Shidao was born in a wealthy family, so he didn't understand his feelings.

When he was in charge of the selection of officials in the Ministry of Officials, he suppressed the powerful, relatives and friends to avoid suspicion.

That's why Li Shimin continued to let him serve as the servant of the Ministry of officials.

"Okay, I have already refused. It's just that some people are too enthusiastic, leaving gifts and leaving. I want to refuse and it's too late to refuse."

"Has Yan'er come back? Doesn't she go to the temple several times a month to donate some sesame oil money, or go to some places outside the city where refugees gather to open porridge sheds?

You give Qingxia the property that cannot be pushed away, and use it where it should be used. "

Although Yang Shidao looked upright outside, it was difficult for him to speak.

But when he returned home, in front of his daughter, he acted like a daughter slave.

This situation is relatively rare in Chang'an City.

"Lang Jun, speaking of the eldest lady, I just heard a piece of news, and you may need to check with her."

Yang Ze struggled for a few seconds, and finally decided to tell Yang Shidao the gossip he had heard.

"what news?"

When Yang Shidao saw Yang Ze's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"I heard... Mr. Lang, I just heard that when the eldest lady went out a few days ago, she was treated lightly by someone!"

"what???!!!"

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Ze's words fell, Yang Shidao's face changed drastically.

"Why haven't I heard from Yan'er? Have you heard any rumors?"

"Lang Jun, a few days ago, the eldest lady and Qingxia went to the release pool in the west market, but they accidentally fell into the water. Someone rescued them at that time.

But it is said that during the process of saving them, the man acted frivolously and took advantage of the eldest lady. Many people around the release pool have witnessed it with their own eyes, and the rumors outside are even more vivid! "

Hearing what Yang Ze said, Yang Shidao felt a rush of blood rushing to his head!

Then he immediately turned around and headed towards the backyard.
