a
Wear thick clothes, as the temperature sometimes drops to zero degrees Celsius at night, and it is only about ten degrees Celsius during the day.
The fish meat was gone, the loaches were all eaten, and the villagers’ faces turned rosy.
The remaining pigs are not allowed to be killed. I want to raise them to eat the New Year pigs during the Chinese New Year.
Zhu Wentian saw that the fat and protein were gone. This was not possible. It was too cold to bear the cold.
"Sell rock candy" Zhu Wentian thought of a way.
Today, most of the local sugar in Daming is brown sugar, while white sugar is called foreign sugar. It is now imported through the Shibo Division at the mouth of the Yangtze River and is called tribute.
Officials are not allowed to trade with foreigners, but ordinary people will not be allowed to do so next year.
Then it was said that Shibosi was too close to the capital and was moved to Zhejiang.
The foreigners who came to trade did not give the Ming Dynasty the technology of how to obtain white sugar and rock sugar.
After a few decades, the Ming Dynasty developed the technology of sugar decolorization, began to plant sugar cane crazily, and became a powerful exporter of white sugar.
Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang could not see that day in history, it was too far away.
Zhu Wentian was thinking and began to worry about how to sell sugar. The brown sugar in Xuancheng cost 22 cents per catty and rock sugar 390 cents per catty.
The little girl only bought a few small pieces, otherwise why would she be so angry that she cried after knowing how to make rock candy
She regretted that she had spent too much money and was ignorant.
Thinking of the way the little girl cried miserably, Zhu Wentian laughed heartlessly.
He turned around to find the chief. He had no choice but to ask others.
As I asked along the way, I met the chief at the bamboo craftsman’s house. The chief led a group of people to make buckets out of bamboo for carrying water.
To prepare for the drought in the coming year, some locations will not be able to be flushed directly, so water will have to be carried, or cattle will help carry it to the side.
"Hanhan is here, wait and I will boil an egg for you." When the wife of the bamboo craftsman's family saw Hanhan, she got up and went to boil the egg.
"No, don't eat, hehe." Zhu Wentian waved his hands and shook his head.
The other party ignored it and continued cooking.
Zhu Wentian squatted next to the chief, "Sell sugar, eat meat, hahaha"
The chief looked at him and frowned, "How do you sell rock candy?"
The village chief is also worried. He first buys a lot of brown sugar and goes back to the village to turn it into rock sugar. What excuse can he use to take it out?
Business tax is nothing. Thirty to one tax, just pay it as usual. Can.
The people who worked together to make the barrels all looked over. They all knew that the price difference between brown sugar and rock sugar was more than ten times.
It means that countless people are thinking about it and want to know the method.
If you hand it over, the people in your own village will be reluctant to part with it. If you don't hand it over,
"Li Chief." A villager who was helping suddenly said, "Let's buy brown sugar in Xuancheng and go to Taiping Mansion." If you want to sell it, let’s just say it came from the sea along the Yangtze River and bought it from the Shipping Department.”
“Yes, it’s long, let’s sell it.”once. "Another person followed.
Li Changyi pats his thighs. "Every good family, take out the money, add the money from the village minister, and do it once. "
"Yeah, hey, hey." Zhu Wentian expressed his support, it's more than ten times the price
The village chief gave an order, and the villagers paid for it one after another. Take as much as you can and write it down. , after selling the candy, give the minister 50 cents according to the previous method.
Someone handed over the heirloom jewelry and went to Xuancheng pawn shop to redeem it after making money.
p>
The next day there will be four carts coming out of the village, and extra people will be needed to protect them.
The oxen must also pull the carts, and there is no need to run wildly.
The jewelry will be pawned first. Including the money he collected, the village chief had 55,200 Wen. He negotiated with others and bought 2,600 kilograms of brown sugar.
This was the hope of the whole village, and the rest was left. With a little money, Zhu Wentian bought alum.
There is a loss in turning brown sugar into rock sugar. Make a small amount and eat it yourself without adding alum.
The loss of alum is unbearable. It's not good to eat too much, but Zhu Wentian doesn't worry about others eating it too hard. It's money.
I used to use it when frying fried dough sticks, but later it was banned.
Everyone banned it. Cheer up and rush home.
We didn’t arrive at the village until the second quarter of the year. No one in the village could run out to help carry it.
Those who went there quickly went to bed. Someone was responsible for it at night. We can't stand guard, the whole village depends on these candies to survive.
The next morning, everyone had a full meal and started to work according to Hanhan's instructions.
Nine days were spent in a tense atmosphere, and two thousand kilograms of rock candy and some remnants were produced.
“The rock candy pieces are larger than those sold in Xuancheng, and the rock candy has no strings. ”
A villager who went to Xuancheng to look at rock candy discovered something wrong and his eyes brightened.
Zhu Wentian looked at it without saying anything. God knows how people make rock candy nowadays.
p>
Tiangong Kaiwu has records that bamboo slices are put in to help crystallize.
The rock sugar that comes out is divided into five categories: Shishan, Tuanzhi, Wengjian, Xiaoke and Shajiao. /p>
The five levels are from best to worst, as you can tell by looking at the names, the bigger the better.
“You have to pay more for rock candy in our village. "The eldest son here thinks it's not cost-effective to pay the same price as Xuancheng."
"Go to the local area to see the situation and price of local rock candy. Sleep today and get up early tomorrow to go on the road." "The village leader took a deep breath.
When Zhu Wentian saw it, he hurriedly said, "More, more cars, more, shovels, shovels, sacks, eh."
"There are cattle in the village. I didn’t have a cart, so I didn’t have time to build it, so I had to borrow an empty cart. I sent the leftovers from making sugar to other villages, and drove the cattle to a place to harness the cart back. ”
The village chief continued to trust the village guard, and Hanhan asked him to bring many cars, shovels, and sacks.
The villagers took the cattle and scattered to borrow cars. There is no need to give them. Money is not renting cattle.
On November 22, there will be another eight days.moon.
Xiaqiu Village dispatched 20 vehicles and 100 people with tools and headed north.
Originally, it should have gone west, directly to Wuhu.
If there is a boat, the transportation volume will be greater by taking the Huangchi River by boat.
Just go west, which is close to the village, for fear of others knowing. Go north and then turn west, which is Dangtu County, the seat of Taiping Prefecture.
There are many cars now, and it’s just a good time to load the cars with everyone’s food and drink, as well as fodder for mules and cattle.
After driving for an hour and a half, Zhu Wentian shouted, "Ah, stop, uh uh uh"
"What's wrong, Hanhan?" The resident turned around and looked over.
Zhu Wentian jumped out of the car with a shovel and dug on the ground. After digging a few times, he squatted down to grab a handful, looked at it, and smelled "Hey hey hey dirt."
He laughed so hard Happy, I finally found it.
This place was called Zanghan Village at that time, a small village.
He asked people to bring carts and shovel sacks over for the current soil, which is called peat, also called peat.
Peat can be burned, but he is not planning to burn it. Another use is to cultivate seedlings, which is rich in nutrients.
He wanted to use the peat to cultivate seedlings. This time he came to pull some first. Seeing that the distance was not very far, he would send more trucks to load them in the future.
The village chief followed him and squatted down to grab a handful. "We can't find the good soil in our village. Let's go ahead and come back."
"Okay, hey hey hey." Zhu Wentian had already I'm getting used to role-playing, and I'm becoming more and more proficient at it.
Others will follow and check it out, it’s so rubbish.
The team got back on the road and arrived at Dangtu County, the seat of Taiping Prefecture, at 3:00 noon.
Everyone didn’t care about eating. They were thinking about rock candy and asked about the price.
When we came back and looked at each other, someone whispered, "Four hundred and twenty cents per pound, the bigger one is four hundred and fifty cents, the biggest one is not as good as ours."
