Pang Shanmin thought of it, immediately quit Zhuge Liang, and went back to the bamboo forest to ponder the matter of making sugar, Zhuge Liang saw Pang Shanmin coming and going in a hurry, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and secretly said in his heart: Brother this mountain people, it is really hot to do things.

In the bamboo forest house, Pang Shanmin also learned from Diao Chan's mouth that this big man originally had someone to make sugar, but as Pang Shanmin said, the white sugar that was as white as snow and sweet as honey was unheard of even if Diao Chan was well-informed.

In half a month, Pang Shanmin put all his energy into this sugar production, ordered the caravan to purchase sugarcane, and built a house, according to the method written by Pang Shanmin, after several failures, the craftsmen finally made crystal white sugar.

"It's so sweet!"

"It's ...... like snow"

The craftsmen praised the beauty of the sugar, and from time to time there were young craftsmen who secretly pinched a little sugar and tasted it in their mouths, and then the sweetness in their mouths made them smile with satisfaction.

Now that the method of sugar making has been verified, this white sugar can also be mass-produced, the craftsmen are busy for a few days, Pang Shanmin will share some of their powdered sugar as a reward, the happy Pang Shanmin put a bowl of sugar, and rushed to the bamboo house, this gratifying thing, his first thought is to share with Diao Chan.

"This is the white sugar that Childe said earlier?"

In Diao Chan's eyes, the white sugar is beautiful, pure and innocent, and the whole body is snow-white powdered sugar, which easily aroused Diao Chan's favor, Pang Shanmin laughed, twisted a little sugar, put it in his mouth, and smiled at Diao Chan: "You also taste it." ”

Diao Chan nodded, gently twisted a little sugar, looked at it in his hand for a while, the sugar powder became a little sticky, and after licking his fingers a few times, Diao Chan's face also showed a happy smile.

"It's sweet!" After Diao Chan said that, Pang Shanmin also laughed, and said to Diao Chan: "If this thing is sold to those nobles, it should be sold at a high price." ”

Diao Chan nodded, and said to Pang Shanmin: "I'm afraid this thing is not easy to make, if the son sells it to the family, I'm afraid this white sugar will be all the rage." ”

Pang Shanmin sighed when he heard this: "It's just that it's cheaper for everyone in the Kuai family......"

Seeing that Diao Chan was puzzled, Pang Shanmin told her about his previous plan, wanting to teach the Kuai family a method of getting rich, so that Pang Kuai's two families could unite and balance the Cai family in Jingzhou, Diao Chan heard this, pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said: "If the Kuai family, after getting the method of sugar making, is treacherous, what should the son do?" ”

Diao Chan's words made Pang Shanmin stunned there, compared to the political struggle above the court, Pang Shanmin is completely a junior brother, compared to Diao Chan, it is much worse than Diao Chan, and Pang Shanmin's heart, he has always thought that as long as he treats people with sincerity, others will also treat each other sincerely, but Diao Chan's short words have broken the true essence of the family.

"Madame, if I give them the method of making sugar now, will I beat the dog with meat buns?" Pang Shanmin's expression was stunned, Diao Chan was also slightly stunned, Pang Shanmin said that this meat bun beating the dog is an image, thinking of this, Diao Chan nodded, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The son may not know something, the family family, the things that go back on their word are frequent, not all family patriarchs will be as trustworthy as Mr. Pang." ”

Pang Shanmin nodded, put the sugar bowl in his hand on the table, bowed to Diao Chan, and said: "Thank you Madame for your advice, but if you don't cooperate with the Kuai family to make sugar, I'm afraid that I, Jingnan, will have no interests and can impress this Kuai clan. ”

"Me?" When Diao Chan heard this, he smiled and said: "What can be done by the concubine and the girl, why don't you ask Mr. Zhuge to solve your doubts?" ”

Kong Ming......

This guy probably doesn't have much experience with the family.

Pang Shanmin frowned, remembering that it was said in the history books that after Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei to pacify Sichuan and Shu, there were frequent contradictions between him and the family in Xichuan, so Pang Shanmin was not optimistic that Zhuge Liang would be able to give him an effective way in this matter, and people with outstanding wisdom and scheming may not be able to do everything in the officialdom, thinking of this, Pang Shanmin sighed: "The matter of uniting the Kuai family is mentioned by Kong Ming, if he has already how to deal with this Kuai family, how can he not tell me?" ”

Seeing that Pang Shanmin's hard thinking was fruitless, Diao Chan was also anxious, and said to Pang Shanmin: "That's the case...... Why don't you go back to Xiangyang and ask Pang Gong? ”

Diao Chan's words came out, Pang Shanmin suddenly became enlightened, and now that he has been in Jingnan for a long time, it is time to go back and ask his father, and in the eyes of Pang Shanmin, Pang Degong is obviously more sophisticated than him, otherwise the Pang family will not be able to follow Cai and Kuai with only this papermaking skill, and they will be one of the three major families in Xiangyang at present.

Pang Shanmin's heart was full of worries, and he said happily: "After being away from home for a long time, I also miss my father at home, how about my wife going to Xiangyang with me this time?" ”

"The son is on an important business, so the concubine will not go." Diao Chan said, Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart, I am afraid that Diao Chan feels that she is not the daughter-in-law of the Pang family now, and after seeing Pang Degong, she doesn't know how to deal with herself, since she is afraid of being embarrassed at that time, Pang Shanmin will not force each other, and said to Diao Chan: "In this case, I will go by myself, and the two troublesome girls in this family will be taken care of by Mrs. Lao." ”

Seeing that Pang Shanmin was also quite indifferent to Ling'er and Zhu Rong, Diao Chan covered his mouth and chuckled, and said: "If Gongzi's words are heard by them, I am afraid that there will be a dispute." ”

Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, he really has no authority to be an uncle at all, and now after Ling'er and Zhu Rong meet, they have a similar temperament, and they dance guns and sticks in the military village in the valley all day long, and they are getting more and more crazy, I don't know if Ling'er is naturally like this, or is affected by that Zhu Rong.

Pang Shanmin is not very old, and as a traverser, Pang Shanmin does not have much elder majesty, and Ling'er has no fear of Pang Shanmin, which is also reasonable.

Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin said to Diao Chan: "If these two girls dare not listen to Madame's teachings...... I won't give them candy! ”

When Diao Chan heard this, he smiled happily and said to Pang Shanmin: "Sir, isn't it really this sugar, invincible?" ”

"At least it can have some effect on the greedy girl." Pang Shanmin secretly said in his heart: Young women in this era, and there is no such thing as snacks, using sugar to coax the girl to be obedient, it should not be a big problem, thinking of this, Pang Shanmin smiled: "Madame can put away this sugar first, wait for her to fall in love with the taste of this sugar, and then teach well, although Ling'er likes to fight on the battlefield, but her temperament is too crazy, this is not the character of a general, and now she is also good to accept her temperament." ”

Diao Chan bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I hope that as the son thinks, these two girls are willing to be obsessed with this white sugar...... If it can live in peace, the bamboo forest in the mountains can be much quieter. ”
