As the song was sung on both sides of the Bianhe River, the rock sugar gourd immediately became a hot item. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I have to say that the curiosity and desire to taste Dasong consumers are still quite strong, and naturally the supply exceeds demand.

That night, Guozi Liu and his wife brought a few baskets of hawthorn to Xue's house, and asked Xue Zong to make rock sugar gourds again, and they prepared all the materials they needed.

Xue Zong was not polite, and immediately calculated the demand, and asked them to buy sugar and honey, but this rock sugar...... It doesn't seem to be there yet, but it seems to be another good business opportunity.

After the materials were prepared, the Xue family picked up the lights overnight, and the two people, Liu and Bing Ge'er, were responsible for cleaning the hawthorns and stringing them into strings, while Aunt Liu followed Xue Zong to learn how to wrap sugar and dry them.

It's not a secret, the process is not complicated, and Xue Zong didn't plan to hide it, so he taught it all the way. Aunt Liu is a clever woman, and she quickly learned to get started, and after a while, strings of rock sugar gourds were freshly baked.

According to Xue Zong's statement, Liu found straw and tied it into a small bundle, and inserted the finished product on it, Yun'er clapped her hands when she saw this: "Rock sugar gourd tree!" ”

The backlog of unsalable hawthorn finally has a market, and it can be sold at a good price and make a profit, Aunt Liu is naturally smiling.

"Brother Zong'er, where did you know this method?"

With this question, the eyes of several other people all fell on Xue Zong, especially the old grandmother Xue Meng. She has been staring at it for a long time, and she has been watching it quietly for a long time.

I went out at noon, and when I came back, the situation at home had completely changed. In other words, since yesterday's fall into the water, there seems to be some indescribable changes in the grandson.

The person is still the same person, his temperament has changed a little, he is more enthusiastic, and his brain seems to be much smarter, and he actually came up with the whimsical idea of this so-called rock sugar gourd.

Xue Zong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said gloomily: "This... I...... I used to sit on the wharf by the river, and I heard from a man who claimed to be a wise man of the West and knew many strange things. ”

"The Zephani?" Guozi Liu was surprised: "There are indeed some Western people in the city of Tokyo, and it is not surprising that there are one or two wise men among them, such as those who are very shrewd and especially good at settling accounts. ”

A happy person? Xue Zong read this slightly awkward statement before he reacted, it turned out to be a Jew who had been exiled to the Great Song Dynasty!

Needless to say, the Jews' talent in commerce was obvious to later generations, but they were indeed ill-fated, and they actually fell from Jerusalem thousands of miles away to the Great Song Dynasty......

But fortunately, Guo Zi Liu was able to happily think of them, making his somewhat lame remarks seem less absurd, but it made Xue Zong a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "I didn't care when I heard the Western people say in the past, but I choked on water yesterday, and this mind seems to have opened up, and it is much brighter." ”

"Let's just say, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, no wonder Brother Zong is becoming more and more intelligent and lively." Aunt Liu subconsciously agreed, and completely confirmed the matter.

Although Xue Mengshi still has a little doubt in his heart, he doesn't care very much, who doesn't want his grandson to be safe and smart? It's too late to rejoice!

Hundreds of strings of sugar gourds were ready, it was already late, and everyone was tired, so they all hurriedly washed and fell asleep.

When Xue Zong woke up, it was already the third pole of the sun, probably because he was distressed that his grandson fell into the water and was frightened, and Xue Mengshi was reluctant to wake up his grandson.

When Xue Zong came to the market after eating, he saw the fruit Liu from a distance with a happy face, and the rock sugar gourds on a few bundles of straw were almost sold out, and the aunt and Brother Bing were temporarily gone.

After Guozi Liu saw Xue Zong, he smiled and said: "Brother Zong'er, you are here, tell you, this rock sugar gourd sells very well, Bing'er and his mother have already gone home to hurry up the production." ”

Xue Zong said: "That's good, it's just ...... This rock sugar gourd can actually be sold while making it, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome. ”

"How's that going to work?" Hearing Xue Zong's words, Guozi Liu immediately said righteously: "This is our secret recipe, how can we let others learn it in public?"

Don't you know the Tao, there are a lot of people in the fruit shops around us, and they are all thinking of ways to find out the situation of the rock sugar gourd! ”

Xue Zong smiled in his heart, the rock sugar gourd has no technical content, where is there any secret? Presumably, it won't be long before you can see many vendors walking the streets and alleys carrying rock sugar gourds.

Seeing that Xue Zong didn't speak, Guozi Liu hurriedly said: "Brother Zong, don't worry, you made this secret recipe, so you will get half of the income from selling rock candy gourds this time." ”

"Uncle Liu is polite, the kid thinks this method is also to repay you for your help to my family over the years." Xue Zong didn't expect Guozi Liu to be so polite, so simple and honest.

Guozi Liu smiled: "Where is it?" The folks in our alleys and townships should help each other. One yard to one yard, and that's it.

Don't you know that after being made into a rock sugar gourd, this hawthorn makes several times more money, and it is natural to share it with you. Your grandmother is old, and the family is not easy, but fortunately, Brother Zong's son has grown up. ”

"Well, since Uncle Liu said so, the kid won't shirk." Xue Zong smiled: "But this rock sugar gourd is nothing unusual, after a few days, the merchants next to it are easy to draw gourds, and we can't help it!" ”

"It's... But how is it good? "Guozi Liu knows that the production method of rock sugar gourd, the materials and methods are very simple, it is indeed easy to imitate, and it is impossible to prevent it.

"So we've got to make something that no one else can copy!"

"Oh, what wonderful thing is there about Brother Zong'er?" Guozi Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not bad!" Xue Zong smiled: "Uncle Liu, do you know why I call this thing a rock sugar gourd?" If we think that the surface of the layer resembles ice crystals, then if we make a rock candy, we can ......"

"Rock candy?"

"That's right, it's like crystallized Xiaoice cubes, but sweet sugar cubes." Xue Zong said: "Children have always liked sweets, the sugar is loose and easy to sprinkle, and although the honey fruit is sweet, it is not as good as pure candy after all, so the market of this rock candy must not be worried." ”

"So how do you make this rock candy? Brother Zong'er understands? Guozi Liu is in this business, so he naturally quickly thought of the business opportunities.

"That's natural, although the process is a little more troublesome, but it can be done." Xue Zong smiled and didn't forget to add: "This method was also taught to me by the wise man of the West. ”

"Oh, what raw materials and utensils do you need, just say, I'll prepare these, Brother Zong'er, you just need to find a way to make them." Guozi Liu said happily: "If this thing sells well, we will talk about the account sharing when the time comes." ”

"Fifty percent, or fifty-five accounts." Xue Zong was very generous, showed an attitude of not taking advantage, and generously took out his patented technology to get rich together with the neighbors of Wuliu Lane.

"That's okay, there's Brother Lao Zong." The smile on Guozi Liu's face is very bright, and Xue Zong's appearance has undoubtedly greatly improved his business, and the prospects are broad.

"Uncle Liu is polite, please buy some sugar and other things, by the way, where can I buy milk? By the way, I tried to make toffee! ”

"Rock candy? Toffee? Guozi Liu's eyes widened, there are so many types of this sugar?
