Chastity Layman

  Chapter 255 Yellow Mud Turns into Gold

  Qin Lang looked at Xu Jingzong's estimated price of Tianzhu frosted sugar at three hundred yuan a catty, and couldn't help feeling that it was a big pit. And when he saw the Tianzhu tribute frosting sugar in stock, he shook his head.

The so-called frosting sugar sounds like white granulated sugar that is as white as frost. In fact, the frosting grain is loessy in color, and the particles are not as well-proportioned as fine sand. The first half of the relationship.

But it is such a thing, it is estimated to be three hundred yuan a catty, and according to Xu Jingzong, this thing is actually very popular, there is no market for the price, and if you eat more and resell it, you can make a fortune of.

Compared with the stone honey produced by Datang itself, that is, the locally produced sucrose, it is indeed much stronger. You must know that many of the stone honey sucrose produced in Datang still use the drying method. , The sugar produced by sun exposure is the same as the sun salt. The sugar produced by this rough method is naturally no better than the frosted sugar obtained by the three buddies decocting sugar and filtering.

  Tang people like sugar, and sugar is even a luxury product. The sugar that ordinary people can eat is caramel, that is, maltose, and honey, but the amount of this is even less.

  Maltose is naturally inferior to sucrose, especially sucrose, which is crystalline and granular, which is easier to preserve and easy to add in food production.

  Even now, many doctors are using caramel as a medicinal material, saying that it can nourish qi and blood and so on.

   But three hundred yuan a catty is really expensive, but it is just ordinary sugar made from sugarcane, and it sells for three hundred yuan a catty?

   But Xu Jingzong also said that they are not expensive. After all, the Tianzhu people have exclusive technology for this thing, and their candy is naturally more sought after in the market. Everyone is willing to buy it.

   Just like pepper, that thing is even more expensive than gold and silver, but aren’t noble families rushing to buy it?

  The Jiaozhi and Lingnan areas in the Tang Dynasty were also sugarcane planting areas, especially Jiaozhi, which has been a sugarcane producing area since the Han Dynasty, but the sugar production technology has been lagging behind.

But even the backward gray sugar produced by Jiaozhi in the Tang Dynasty sells for fifty yuan a catty, and the slightly better rough sugar can also sell for hundreds of yuan a catty, and Tianzhu's frosted sugar sells for three hundred yuan a catty , it’s not surprising, after all, other people’s sugar is better.

  Qin Lang was thinking, this Tianzhu man is stealing money.

  I thought again, is this sugar cane sugar method difficult? He used to have a girlfriend from Guangxi. At that time, his girlfriend was selling some ancient brown sugar from her hometown on WeChat. He also saw it in the local family sugarcane brown sugar workshops. Speaking of the techniques in these handicraft workshops at that time, It has long been an extremely backward technology, but people put the words "ancient handmade" on it, and it was immediately sought after by big girls and young wives in the circle of friends.

  This so-called ancient method is actually very simple, just read it a few times.

  Even with that set of equipment and that set of technology, it can produce not only brown sugar, but also brown sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, and even flower sugar such as rose sugar and rock sugar, which is quite simple.

  Some things are actually like this, separated by a layer of window paper.

  For example, the so-called black, red and white sugar is just a different decolorization process, and the oldest decolorization process is actually the method of drenching white sugar with yellow mud and water in the Ming Dynasty.

  Qin Lang recalled those small brown sugar workshops in Guangxi that he had visited before, and thought that he is now fully capable of purifying this frosting sugar into real frosting sugar.

  The only question now is whether he wants to contribute this secret recipe, or keep it as the secret method of the Qin family?

   Why don't you buy these Tianzhu frosted sugar yourself, then process and refine it into real white sugar, and then sell it to Tianzhu people?

   "Give me a hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar."

  Xu Jingzong immediately said, "Okay."

  Seeing him like this, Qin Lang seemed to be planning to revise the account book and erase the hundred catties, so he had no choice but to say, "I'll get someone to send fifty thousand yuan to the account later."

   "No need."

   "Do I need to be greedy for this small gain?"

   "That doesn't need five hundred and one catties."

   "This sugar transshipment company will sell it soon, so it is naturally impossible to pay the purchase price." However, Qin Lang still said, "You should enter the account for 50,000 yuan first, but for this batch of sugar, don't be in a hurry to evaluate the transaction."

   "Okay." Xu Jingzong didn't ask why.

  Qin Lang asked someone to bring a hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar back to the Pingkangfang house, and immediately asked Ah Huang to find some reliable servants to help.

   One hundred catties of sugar were poured into several pots in batches, and water was added to boil.

   Ah Huang looked a little surprised, "Is this 50,000 worth of things ruined like this?"

  Of course, Qin Lang can't waste these candies, he just wants to make these candies reborn, and then double their worth. Tianzhu Frosted Sugar is remade in the pot, boiled into syrup, then poured into a bucket to condense, and then a jar is taken, and a tile funnel is placed on it, and the funnel is plugged with straw, and the condensed black and yellow sugar is poured into the funnel, etc. The sugar is coagulated into lumps, and the straw is removed, and the adjusted yellow mud water is poured on the black and yellow sugar in the funnel.

"oops!"

  The servants patted their thighs in distress. Qin Lang poured a ladle of yellow muddy water on such expensive sugar, making it completely unrecognizable.

   "Don't worry, the time to witness the miracle has come!" Qin Lang chuckled.

  The black **** flows from the funnel into the tank below. The black and yellow granulated sugar in the funnel has turned into **** frost. The top layer is about five inches, very white, really deceiving Frost Saixue!

   "See, this is the real frosting sugar!" Qin Lang wiped his sweat when he saw that it was successful.

   Ah Huang and the others were already stunned and couldn't believe it.

  Why did Tianzhu frosting sugar turn into snow-white frosting sugar after being drenched in yellow muddy water?

"How can this be?"

"Amazing!"

   "Sanlang, are you using blindfolds?"

  After bleaching, Tianzhu frosting sugar becomes real frosting sugar. Even the black residue that has been washed away is actually not wasted. After re-operation, the black residue becomes brown sugar.

  Qin Lang asked someone to add some **** grains to the brown sugar, so it became **** brown sugar.

   Square and large pieces of **** and brown sugar are placed on a plate, stacked like a mountain, and next to it is a bowl of crystal white white sugar.

  Qin Lang tried each, the white granulated sugar is very sweet, without impurities, it is very pleasing to the eye. However, from a scientific point of view, although such white sugar is pure, it is not as nutritious as brown sugar. As for the brown sugar, it is actually the leftovers after purification. This kind of brown sugar is actually worse than the directly made brown sugar. After all, the real brown sugar has not been refined and has all the nutrients. And this **** brown sugar was refined by Qin Lang. The product after white sugar is less sweet and has impurities, but after adding ginger, it has another flavor.

   "Burn the fire!"

   "?" Ah Huang and the others didn't understand why they still had to start a fire. The five hundred catties of frosting sugar had already been processed.

  Qin Lang poured a pot of high-quality white sugar into the pot again.

  Redissolve, clean, recrystallize...

  After several trials, Qin Lang finally got what he wanted, large granules of rock candy.

   Ah Huang touched the rock candy, which seemed to be magnified countless times, and wondered, "How did this change?"

Five hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar, after three days of tinkering with Qin Lang, finally turned into one hundred catties of white rock sugar, two hundred catties of white granulated sugar, and three hundred catties of old **** and brown sugar, and there was an extra one hundred catties .

   This is of course because of the addition of a lot of ginger, and the purification itself will not reduce anything.

   "Every kind is packed in a catty, give me ten boxes each."

  Qin Lang brought these things back to the Transshipment Department, Xu Jingzong reported that he had almost reached an agreement with the Hu people on the matter of giving back, and now Tianzhu's frosting sugar was temporarily put on hold because of Qin Lang's order.

   "Those Tianzhu people are already a little dissatisfied, and urge us to estimate the price earlier, so that they can choose a reward."

  Most of these Tianzhu merchants have already selected the rewards, but because the transshipment department has not yet appraised the value of their frosting sugar, so this gift cannot complete the transaction, and they are a little anxious.

   "Mr. Xu can ask them to come over, I want to talk to them about this in person."

  After the envoys from Tianzhu were brought, Qin Lang directly took out his new product and placed it in front of these people.

  In fact, the Tianzhu continent has never been a unified country in history. This continent has always been in constant disputes and wars are difficult to settle. Even in the Gupta Dynasty, which was wiped out by the White Huns, it actually only occupied most of the northern part of the Tianzhu continent.

Later, after the Yanda Dynasty established by the White Huns was wiped out by the Western Turks and Persian Sasanians, Tianzhu was split into dozens of forces, and finally fought for many years, forming four kingdoms and forming two major military alliances. There are many small countries scattered around, vassals of the four countries.

During the years when the Sui Dynasty collapsed and the Tang Dynasty was established, the four kingdoms of the two northern alliances of the Tianzhu Continent also launched an annexation war. In the end, King Tanisha later succeeded King Mukri, and the two countries merged to form the Kingdom of Jieri. .

  Afterwards, King Jieri set up his capital in Qunu City, wiped out countless small countries in the north, and the two countries of Gundam and Pramo in the east were at a disadvantage. Jieri Kingdom has become the strongest kingdom in the north of Tianzhu.

But at this time, there are still more than a dozen kingdoms on the continent of Tianzhu, not to mention, the Jieri Kingdom is actually just an alliance. The enfeoffment system he implemented has enabled dozens of princes in the Jieri Kingdom to have a high degree of autonomy Therefore, although the Jieri Kingdom is powerful, it is not a real centralized dynasty.

   Qin Lang's understanding was actually told to him by Xu Jingzong.

  This news is helpful to him, because in this way, Tianzhu Frost Sugar is not owned by one family, but by multiple countries, which makes it easier to negotiate business.

   "Everyone can take a look, this is the real frosting sugar. This is the latest frosting sugar developed by my Tang Dynasty. It is as white as frost. In addition, this is an even better rock sugar, as crystal clear as ice!"

  Qin Lang showed his new product to his buddies.

  When these people saw Qin Lang's new product, they were all shocked.

   Even paled in horror, this time the Tianzhu countries came to pay tribute, and the most valuable commodity among them was this Tianzhu frosted sugar. Unexpectedly, Datang actually had better sugar.

   "Everyone might as well try it!"

  Qin Lang saw their shock and suspicion, smiled and pushed Tang in front of them.
