Chapter Eighty-Seven: How to Make Money

"Now, in front of so many people?" Liang Chuan said with a bitter face at the moment.

"Is it hard for you to sing now? Last time you sang, there weren't more onlookers, and there were more masters than you are working now, are you shy? Zheng Ruoying tilted her head and looked at Liang Chuan with a smile, "You are so talented, showing your talent in public is a glorious thing, how can you still feel that it is a burden?" ”

Zheng Ruoying's face was playful, Liang Chuan's old face was red, and he said: "My five tones are incomplete, and I will only be embarrassed in the public, where can I talk about it?" ”

Zheng Ruoying has personally seen the kind of affection and sincerity when Liang Chuan performs, this is not contrived or moaning without disease, and it is also a kind of ability to moan without illness to moan like this. And in Liang Chuan's own opinion, he actually feels that showing his ability is a kind of loss of points, is it really that the stronger the ability, the more low-key the person?

"Otherwise, would you like to sing it to me in private?" Zheng Ruoying put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and looked at Liang Chuan with a smile, looking forward to his answer.

Liang Chuan thought to himself that I can wipe the girl, you are a generous daughter, sure enough, the more confident women in every era, the more they have no restraints, they dare to love and hate, they will not twist and fabricate, and dare to sing a little song in private, so you are not afraid that Uncle I will come after singing a little song, and play some other tricks?

Liang Chuan said: "Miss Zheng, my wife is in the house, will it be too abrupt for you to ask me to sing like this, my mud legs are meaningless, but when the time comes, I am afraid that the girl's reputation will be stinky by me, so it will not be good for you?" ”

Zheng Ruoying smiled crookedly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so how are you going to sing that song again?" ”

Liang Chuan asked, "Do you think the words are good, or the music is good?" ”

"I think it's good for both!"

Liang Chuan said: "Then let's do it, I'll read the words to you first, you copy them back, and I'll sing to you next time I have a chance, now in front of so many people, singing also needs an occasion, it's not just a place where you can sell it, it will be very disappointing." ”

Zheng Ruoying was overjoyed and said happily: "This is okay, but let's talk about it, you can't regret it in the future!" ”

Regret it later? Where will I be willing to regret it in the future.

Liang Chuan said: "Then it's decided, then do these Luocheng masters' grass houses still have to be demolished? ”

Zheng Ruoying said angrily: "You are really so unreasonable to me, the last time I asked you for a song, as soon as you opened your mouth, it was 5,000 yuan, how can it be so easy to make money, is it really when other people's money falls from the sky?" This time, I finally seized this good opportunity, returned you with your way, and took the opportunity to trap you! Where will I embarrass these hard-working Luocheng masters, besides, these lands have been abandoned for many years, and the taxes paid to the government every year are not a few, and the grain planted is not enough to pay taxes, my father wants to sell these lands, but where can I find someone to take over? ”

In ancient times, the heaviest burden on the peasants was taxes and servitude, and the land could not grow grain, and the peasants were desperate after all.

Zhang looked at these lands, the area is vast, but only a few pieces of land are planted with vegetables, and the others are almost in a state of abandonment, which is really a pity. Hearing Zheng Ruoying say that they all used this land to grow food, Liang Chuan was very puzzled, and asked weakly: "If this land can't grow food, can't you grow something else?" ”

"Huh?" Zheng Ruoying didn't expect Liang Chuan to ask like this, and said: "If you don't grow food, you can only grow a little home-cooked food, and you can only sell it for a few days when you pick it from the ground and sell it in the market on weekdays. Our Fengshan is not as big as Xinghua Qingyuan, there are not many people who eat vegetables, and every household has more or less their own vegetables for their own use, so that the sales of vegetables are extremely limited, so that they don't make much money by planting vegetables. Naturally, people's enthusiasm for growing vegetables is not high. ”

Liang Chuan said: "The climate of our Xinghua is warm in winter and hot in summer, the sunshine is quite abundant throughout the year, and the precipitation is abundant in summer, although this dry land is not as fertile as the paddy field, but it is not very barren, this condition is the most suitable for planting sugarcane, if it is slightly transformed, the harvest of sugarcane is believed to be considerable!" ”

Why did you think of growing sugarcane, because there was a second largest sugar factory in China in Xinghua later generations, and the raw material for sugar production was sugarcane. In the early days of Xinghua, this sugar factory was built to feed countless working people, but it is a pity that these glories no longer exist after Liangchuan arrived in Fengshan, and can only be captured in the memory of the older generation.

"Growing sugar cane?" Zheng Ruoying never had this kind of thought, how much money can I make from planting this thing? Sugarcane is listed in winter, yes, sugarcane is very sweet and thirst-quenching, men, women and children like it, but this kind of thing is not hard currency like rice and wheat, occasionally gnawing a few sugarcane can quench hunger, after all, you can't take dry cane as a meal, and naturally you can't plant sugarcane like rice! Zheng Ruoying felt that Liang Chuan didn't know how to farm at all to say such a thing, and said with a smile: "Zhang Daguan, you must rarely go to Fengshan Market on weekdays, otherwise you will definitely not want to plant sugarcane!" ”

Liang Chuan said: "Usually there are too many things at home, and I really don't have much opportunity to go to the street, otherwise the world is so big, I have to go and see what I say." ”

"It's such a big world, I have to go and see it, Zhang Daguan is really arrogant! It's a pity that I'm just a daughter.,Otherwise.。。 Zheng Ruoying's eyes suddenly appeared a trace of loneliness, Liang Chuan also knew that after all, this era did not have much tolerance for women, Zheng Ruoying continued: "This sugarcane farmer carries a load of sugarcane to the street every day to sell, at most it is to make a living, sugarcane is like a sour jujube cake on the street, it is good to eat occasionally, but it is simply wishful thinking for ordinary people to eat sugarcane every day, so I say that the idea of planting sugarcane is unrealistic." ”

It turned out that Zheng Ruoying mistakenly thought that he just wanted to grow sugarcane to sell, hehe, this is the most primitive and backward means of raw material trading alone, the more processing procedures of the product, the more added value of the product, planting sugarcane to sell on the street, that is not full of support!

"Do you know about sucrose?" Liang Chuan asked Zheng Ruoying.

"Sucrose? Are you talking about the kind of seasoning that is more expensive than silver and chases gold? Zheng Ruoying exclaimed.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about, but I don't see it much on weekdays, I've looked at several kitchens, and no one seems to use it? Most of the landforms in our place are Danxia landforms, and the soil in the dry land is also dominated by red soil, and the rest of this soil is not good, so it is the most suitable to plant sugarcane! ”

Zheng Ruoying heard Liang Chuan talk about this kind of precious object like ordinary oil and salt, as if it had been used, his apricot eyes widened, and said: "Where can ordinary people's homes afford this kind of precious things, don't say that the villagers in your village, even I can't find a few catties of this kind of good thing at home, do you know how to make such rare things?" ”

Liang Chuan raised the corners of his mouth, but he didn't laugh out loud, silence is better than sound at this time, sometimes strength does not have to be proved with his mouth, silence can explain many problems, and at this time, Liang Chuan's approach made Zheng Ruoying even more unpredictable.

Zheng Ruoying looked at Liang Chuan's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest, and he was even more sure that Liang Chuan must know the recipe for making sucrose, there are many tenant farmers in his house, everyone is proficient in farming, but he has never heard anyone mention planting sugarcane, not because they don't know how to grow sugarcane, but because no one can make cane sugar.

Sugar was still quite expensive until the Yuan Dynasty, let alone in the Song Dynasty. Although there are many records of sucrose juice in the history of our country, there is no actual production method. Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty in order to make cane sugar a thing for the people to use, specially ordered people to go to "Mojie other countries" to obtain the sucrose boiling method, and since then sucrose can begin to spread among the people. Even so, to this day, cane sugar is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Scarcity is expensive! Although Zheng Ruoying is a daughter's family, she has been helping her father take care of various businesses in the family on weekdays, and as soon as she heard Liang Chuan's thoughts, she immediately thought that this was a road to wealth with ten thousand taels of gold!

If you can sell cane sugar, how many thousands of gold families in Bianliang, Tokyo are eager for this rare thing, once this business road is opened, why worry about the family's career is not prosperous, my father has always felt that he is a daughter, and he can't help him share the family's business, and it's always bad for the daughter's family to show up!

If you can complete a career independently and complete this cane sugar business, you can also add glory to your father's face! Who's going to say that women are inferior to men?

It's just that Liang Chuan, how can this person tell himself this way of making money so simply. This kind of recipe, but whoever knows it wishes never to be revealed, and he keeps this way of making money alone, how can anyone be so generous and willing to share it with them! That's it, I was too young, and I was almost deceived by this kid again, and in the blink of an eye, Zheng Ruoying had already turned around in her mind several times, and said in a forked voice: "You have to ask me for 5,000 yuan for a song and song, how can you be so generous today and take out this hard-to-buy sugar recipe?" ”

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Girl, you think too much, who said that I would give you this sugar recipe, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!" Zheng Ruoying pouted and said, "I knew there was no such good thing!" Swindler! ”

What a liar!

Liang Chuan said: "You let me say it well, you like lyrics and songs, I have hundreds of thousands of songs here, you want this method of making sugar, this is just a small skill of carving insects, but I don't give you the method, but we can cooperate, isn't it, you plant sugarcane, I produce cane sugar, and divide the account afterwards, isn't it beautiful!" ”
