Chapter 19: The Whitest Sugar

Finally sent the county lieutenant away, Wang Cheng coldly confessed to Widow Li and went back to the room first, his body bones couldn't last too long. Xie Shi and Wang Qingjiao came out, so that they finally came to the end, and Widow Li didn't say anything more, her beautiful eyes glared at Wang Xiu fiercely, scolded Youqin Mo Yan, and pulled her back.

Wang Xiu pursed his lips and muttered in a very low voice: "What a stare!" Mind my birds, show your big eyes, don't you? ”

Xie Shi asked with concern, "Big brother, what's going on?" Look at your father's complexion, it's even worse. ”

Thinking about Widow Li's murderous gaze, with Qin Moyan's aggrieved face, Wang Xiu shrugged, raised her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on." ”

"Mrs. Li is usually good to you, why did you suddenly leave your eyes." Xie Shi rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu. The tone is a little crazy.

Wang Qingmao also rolled her eyes at Wang Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, don't make trouble, what's going on?" Hurry up!"

Wang Xiu was really speechless and admired this mother and daughter, if he wanted to be entangled by them, he had to be interrogated by his mother and his mother all night, and he was sick if he was not sick, he had to be sloppy, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to go out, my mother is going to ask my father." As he spoke, the man ran back to the hut.

"This kid." Xie Shi was helpless for a moment and shook his head.

Wang Qingyan smiled and said softly: "Mother, it's okay to see Brother Xiu'er, you can rest assured." ”

Xie Shi rolled his eyes at Wang Qingjiao, and said worriedly: "I hope so!" ”

After Wang Qingjiao went, Xie Shi entered the house to see her husband, Wang Cheng hesitated again and again, and said softly: "Lady, how much money is there at home?" ”

Xie Shi's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "There are still a few pieces of money, which can support a month or two." ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but turn pale and shook his head.

Xie Shi slowly walked in front of him, looked at her husband softly, and said softly: "Don't be depressed, officials, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"I knew that I promised Zhang Wenshan to forget it, and it would be better than today." Wang Cheng smiled bitterly.

Xie frowned lightly, and said resolutely: "Why should the official say frustrating words, his Zhang family deceives people too much, we can't keep the shop, but the officials did their best." ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but be a little stunned, his wife was knowledgeable, gentle and graceful, but she didn't want to say such strong words, which was by no means inferior to a man with eyebrows.

Thinking of Wang Xiu and He Laodao talking about money, all kinds of amazing remarks made him remorseful, smashed his fist on his leg, and said fiercely: "It's just that I have no ability and am stubborn, if I can listen to my eldest brother one day earlier, I won't fall into today." ”

"Official.".

"Don't make trouble, Xiaobao, if you make trouble again, I won't bring you fruit to eat next time." Youqin Mo Yan stared at his eyes, pinched his waist with both hands, and glared at a little fat boy angrily.

The little chubby child blinked, seemingly reluctant but very nostalgic, and a pair of small eyes flashed with tears.

"Okay, Xiaobao, go back obediently, and I'll come to see you in a few days." Youqin Mo Yan's face couldn't bear it, he always smiled charmingly, squatted down and patted the little fat boy's head, and said softly: "Be obedient!" ”

The little chubby boy pouted and said softly, "Sister, what you say!" ”

"Retractor." Youqin Mo Yan's smile is very bright, and the two small dimples are especially charming.

"Hang on the hook, it will not change for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy."

"Don't cheat!"

"Sister Mo Yan, I'll go back first." The little chubby boy smiled happily, turned around and jumped into the door.

At the gate of the nursing home, Wang Xiu stared at Youqin Mo Yan's most beautiful side for a long time, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, feeling the little fat child's fierce eyes at him before he went back, as if he shouldn't be with their beautiful eldest sister, as if he had taken away their eldest sister, which made him a little wronged.

"The eldest sister of the pianist is really a good person in a million." The old man looked at Wang Xiu thoughtfully.

It has been the third time to accompany Youqin Mo Yan, he and the old man gradually became familiar, learned more about Youqin Mo Yan, the throbbing in his heart gradually increased in frequency, and his eyes became softer and softer, and the ambiguous eyes of the old man made him feel weak for a while.

I'll rub it, just say it, why are you staring at me with this kind of squinting eyes?

On the way back, they were silent for a while, and Wang Xiucai said without words: "It seems that the nursing home is not bad, at least these children can eat." ”

Youqin Mo Yan seemed to be a little sad, peeking at Wang Xiu, but found that Wang Xiu was tilting his head to look at her, and suddenly his pretty face moved, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on at home?" ”

"What's going on, that's it." Wang Xiu smiled, he didn't want to talk about the embarrassment at home.

"It's going to be fine, I'm sure brother." Youqin Mo Yan covered her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes swept over Wang Xiu's cheeks, and her expression was a little playful.

Wang Xiu fell into anxiety about the prospects, but he didn't pay attention to Youqin Moyan's delicate attitude, and said casually: "It's been a busy few days. ”

"Busy, what is my brother busy with?"

"System." Wang Xiu's words came to his lips, but he smiled, shook his head and said, "Okay, go back quickly, if it's too late, the eldest lady will curse." ”

"Bah, my mother won't." Youqin Mo Yan glanced at Wang Xiu, but his face was flushed.

"Twenty-five times!" In the hut, Wang Xiu looked at the funnel with a tired expression, but his eyes were full of challenges**.

It is impossible for him to buy brown sugar in large quantities, and he can't do it extravagantly, and he has to rely on vague memory, using a small amount of brown sugar every time, failing again and again, and then groping little by little. At the beginning, he used a tile to put a tile in a tank, plugged the leak of the tile with straw, and poured yellow mud water on the black sugar in the funnel, but the result was that it failed every time, and the sugar was not particularly white, no different from frosted sugar.

This time, he simply boiled the brown sugar black, poured in the tile clogged with straw, waited for the brown sugar to settle, removed the straw, and then poured the black sugar in the funnel with yellow muddy water, and the black slag flowed into the tank below from the funnel, leaving hoarfrost in the funnel, and the top layer was about three inches, very, very white.

"Sugar." The twenty-fifth time, staring at the sugar that had crystals, Wang Xiu's eyes gradually flowed with surprise, he could hardly suppress the joy in his heart, and almost jumped up, so that he trembled with excitement.

It worked, I finally made it! It is definitely white sugar, and compared with the frosted sugar on the market, whether it is pure or white, it is not on the same level.

After being ecstatic, he closed his eyes and pondered, he thought a lot, and the first step finally stepped out, and it was not too late, but what he thought about the most was the classic theory of later generations, how to maximize the benefits and save the family that had fallen into the abyss.

Halfway through, he woke up from his contemplation, smiled nervously, and said, "Damn, it turns out that white sugar is done like this, not with mud, nor with blocking the tiles." ”

He snorted out the crystallized white sugar, forming a whole piece of sugar, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to himself: "No! Can you just ...... brown sugar?"

He didn't speak again, and immediately sat on the ground, staring at the infinitely transparent white sugar, frowning, and sitting for most of the hour, not even moving.

Just as Wang Qingjiao came in quietly, Wang Xiu suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "That's right! I'm really a pig brain, how come I haven't thought about it. Then he punched his head, jumped up, and laughed: "Wouldn't it be enough to use coarse cotton cloth and prick your eyes with a needle." ”

Wang Qingjiao was frightened by her younger brother's actions, and asked cautiously, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you, isn't it?" ”

Wang Xiu didn't seem to hear her sister speak, still thinking about the details, and the whole person was like dementia, standing motionless.

"Brother Xiu." This frightened Wang Qingjiao, who was a woman's family in the end, and was in a hurry for a while, so she reached out and touched Wang Xiu's forehead.

In fact, Wang Xiu's question was very simple, when Wang Qingjiao's hand stretched out, he had already thought about the details, looked at his sister helplessly, and said, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

Wang Qingjiao was taken aback, hurriedly took a step back, looked at Wang Xiu in horror, and said, "Brother Xiu, what kind of epilepsy are you doing?" ”

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Eldest sister, you just became epileptic, do you think your brother looks like he is epilepsy?" ”

"It seems to be a little ......" Wang Qingjiao looked at Wang Xiu seriously and blinked.

"Eldest sister, you seem to have a quick pot ash on your face." Wang Xiu laughed playfully.

Women always love beauty, always care most about their appearance, although Wang Qingchang is not a peerless beauty, let alone a country and a city, but also a beautiful beauty, of course, she cares about her appearance, hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and kept asking: "Where is it, where is it?" ”

What she waited for was a burst of hearty laughter, and suddenly knew that she was being tricked by her brother, so she couldn't help but hit her hand angrily, shouting: "Let you play tricks, let you play tricks." ”

Wang Xiu begged for mercy while hiding: "Sister, don't fight, I'm wrong." ”

"No, you bad thing, my mother can't teach you a good lesson." Wang Qing twisted Wang Xiu's ears for a moment.

"Oops. Tap. Wang Xiu was in pain, but she didn't dare to resist, she could only look at Wang Qingjiao pitifully, the eldest sister was really a woman!

"Do you dare next time?" Wang Qingjiao's face was a little 'hideous', and she said viciously.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I swear to God." Wang Xiu understands that for women, especially beauties, she must not joke about her flawed appearance, and honest people will be mad.

"Eldest sister, look, look, what is this?" Wang Xiu took advantage of Wang Qing's hand to let go, and hurriedly ran over and picked up a small saucer.

"It is." Wang Qingjiao was stunned for a moment and said: "Frosted sugar, no, it's whiter than frosted sugar, and it's not sea salt." ”

"Taste it." Wang Xiu held the plate and handed it over.

Wang Qingqian hesitated, stretched out her Qianqian jade finger and touched it, put it in her red lips, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she glared at Wang Xiu and said, "Big brother, this is sugar, it's frosted sugar." As he spoke, he snatched the plate, tasted it again, and said in surprise: "How did you do it so white?" Could it be that for so many days, you're just tinkering with this thing? ”

Wang Xiu was triumphant and grinned: "How is it, eldest sister, your brother's ability is not small, right?" ”

Wang Qingjiao rolled her eyes, snorted, and said, "How did you do it?" ”

"Fang Zi is confidential."

"Cut, you're trying to say I don't want to hear it yet." Wang Qingjiao understands the value of the recipe, how can the secret recipe be thrown out at will, and the fewer people who know, the better.

Wang Xiu smiled flatteringly: "Sister is not an outsider, let me reveal a little to you." ”

Wang Qingjiao blinked, although she knew that it was inappropriate, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, eldest brother, my sister will never reveal a word to the outside world." ”

Wang Xiu couldn't reveal his identity as a traverser to outsiders, he was lonely deep down, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to share the joy of success. The first thing he thought of was Youqin Mo Yan, just when he was stunned just now, the sweet little dimple shook in front of him, but he shook his head and denied it, Widow Li, he can't afford to mess with him, his family is still under the fence, don't have anything to do.

Only the eldest sister Wang Qingjiao, through the contact of Guò these days, he knows this eldest sister better, she is a gentle woman, but she is very strong in her bones, otherwise she would not have returned to her mother's house without shedding a single tear before entering the door, and she adjusted her mood in a few days. Of course, there are reasons for being extremely disappointed in that husband, but the arrogance in her bones makes the eldest sister have natural pride.

"Eldest sister, I found this thing by accident, it's actually very simple, it's to use yellow muddy water to decolor brown sugar." Wang Xiu groaned slightly, and said mysteriously: "Although there are a lot of frosted sugars nowadays, their transparency is not very high, and the price is five layers more expensive than brown sugar. ”

At this point, Wang Qingmao's face changed, and a gesture stopped Wang Xiu's words. xh118
