Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"Hahaha, brother, since you like this thing, it's good for my brother to get you some from time to time, but you can't use it too much, this thing is not cheap, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I will give you this car, brother They have been accumulated for a long time!"

That's true, Li Shimin really didn't just get some of these things here casually, he got a whole carriage of these things, and they were all stored in this kind of small jars.

Zhang Nuo couldn't help but cry when he heard this, what is this and what is it, I don't know what to say after talking about it.

"Lao Li, I thank you for your kindness. It's not that I can't afford sugar, but that it's not good to eat too much sugar. I already drink sugar water every day, so I don't need to eat other sugar, otherwise my body will Even if you can hold your teeth, you can't stand it!"

Li Shimin was stunned. Is this the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang he knew?There are still gifts that are delivered to the door?I'm afraid it's not someone pretending to be, right?

You must know that from the first day he met Shopkeeper Xiaozhang, as long as it was valuable, it was as if it had entered the stomach of a Pixiu.

Now it's not just one or two servings, it's a whole carriage of frosting sugar, and this little shopkeeper really refuses?

Chapter 137

Li Shimin is not the kind of person who speaks secretively. Whether it is his hidden emperor status or his own personality, he has never had any scruples in speaking.

So, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly,

"Brother, this cart of frosting sugar is worth a hundred taels of gold, why don't you want it?"

"How many?"

Zhang Nuo spoke rashly, his voice changed, and he looked at Lao Li dumbfounded!

Li Shimin didn't know what the shopkeeper Zhang was excited about. Everyone knew that frosting was precious, so why was he so excited?

But how did he know that Zhang Nuo was lamenting that he wanted to build a big money-making industry, but he forgot that the sugar industry, although inconspicuous in later generations, was really a big money-making industry at this time. How could I forget this!

He was still struggling with what to do in the workshop area before, but now it's over, don't think about it, sugar making is just fine!

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li, seeing his bewildered expression, sighed and explained,

"Old Li, it would be great if you gave me some candy earlier. I forgot that I can still do such a business. Although I don't like eating this very much, if I knew that this thing is so valuable, I could make it and sell it. what!"

Li Shimin almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva, what do these mean?Frosting can also be made?Isn't this something that can only be produced from sugarcane in the south, and the yield is extremely low?

He is not a rich man who doesn't understand anything. When he deals with government affairs on weekdays, he often admits that he doesn't understand, and then asks courtiers who understand or simply looks through the book to find the answer.

Therefore, he knew very early on that this frosting sugar was squeezed out of southern sugar cane.

And sugar cane can't be grown in the north at all, only in the south.

"Brother, stop talking nonsense. How is this frosting sugar produced in the north? Could it be that you want to bring the sugar cane from the south to the north to grow it? Somebody advises you, that thing can't be grown in the north!"

"If you want to buy and sell sugar, you should think about caramel!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li disdainfully,

"You know what a fart, who told you that sugar cane can only be used to make frosting sugar? Could it be that if sugar cane doesn't reach the north, there will be no other plants to replace it? You will know how other things can be made into sugar in the spring of next year!"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this, and then said in surprise,

"Could it be that you have other crops on hand that can produce sugar? Can they be grown in the north?"

Zhang Nuo didn't even bother to talk to him. He didn't know if there were any beets at the moment, but he knew that when he was a child, his grandma's house in the northern countryside grew a lot of beets in the fields.

And he knows very well that sugar production depends on sugar beets, and the process is not complicated.

But Zhang Nuo's failure to answer does not mean that Li Shimin is not excited. If this really creates an industry that can produce a large amount of frosting sugar, it will not only be a matter of making money, but the key is that it can be promoted.

Nowadays, people mainly grow food. At most, they can plant half an acre of land in front of and behind their houses and order vegetables to eat at home.

But according to Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, several kinds of high-yield grains will appear next year. After that, can many lands not be used to grow grains?

Does that mean that this sugar-producing plant can also be grown?

Although Li Shimin didn't know how Zhang Nuo would make sugar, he knew that when frosting sugar was only produced in the south, one mu of sugar cane would not produce much frosting sugar.

This is why frosting sugar is so expensive these days!

And planting this thing that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang has not yet produced, no matter how much you drop it, is better than growing grain and not earning much money all year round!

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Nuo with a smile and said,

"Brother, I don't know what kind of species you plan to plant? Can you save some species for next year, so that if everyone helps to grow them, your sugar workshop will have a steady stream of raw materials?"

Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes angrily,

"Forget it, my little seed is probably enough for myself, let's talk about it in a year or two, let me earn two years of money first."

It's not that Zhang Nuo is reluctant, but he's afraid that if Tie Hanhan gets the seeds, he doesn't know how to refine and produce them after planting them. Wouldn't that be harmful.

And when he thought that the production would only start in the fall and winter next year, Zhang Nuo suddenly became dizzy and bored!

Seeing Zhang Nuo's listless look, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry when he asked why!

Does this shopkeeper, Zhang, plan to earn all the money in the world so that he can feel at ease?

But Zhang Nuo was depressed for a while, and planned to go into the kitchen to cook. Although he looked down on Lao Li, in fact, as long as Lao Li came, he would cook by himself.

Lao Li may have not seen Zhang Nuo for a long time, but this time he went to the kitchen with him, chatting without saying a word while watching Zhang Nuo cooking.

This was the first time he saw Zhang Nuo cooking up close, and he was very curious about everything, especially the various novelties in the whole kitchen.

Then for some reason, he rummaged around and turned to the side of the stove, and then he saw the pile of salt in the small pot.

Li Shimin didn't seem to believe it, and put a little bit of it in his mouth with his finger. Grinning his teeth from the salt, he looked at Zhang Nuo who was busy there and sighed,
