Chapter 278: Meet

If tens of millions of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties, are directly put into the market, the price will inevitably plummet.

Through the Zheng family, it can be promoted to the whole country, and at that time, no matter how much sugar there is, the amount distributed to each place is limited, and the price will naturally be high.

But if there is no Zheng family, not to mention whether the family has the ability to push them out, even if they can push them, then they will not be able to tell the origin of this sugar, but it will invite disaster, and it will only be sold in one place, and it will greatly impact its price.

Therefore, they can only promote and sell through the Zheng family, and they can drink some broth at home.

I think so, but now I have made twenty catties at home, which is worth several taels of silver.

And compared with the sugar bought on the market, they are not only in good condition, but also several levels higher in sweetness than others, the same pound of sugar, their own is definitely more durable, and more sweet, and the price will not be bad at that time.

Of course, this is only the first batch of prototypes they made, and two more batches will be made.

In the evening, everyone studied and improved the problems or deficiencies that occurred this time, and maybe they could make sugar with better color.

Therefore, tonight, Jiang Qianyue and the others were dragged by the Tang family to eat sugar all night, and they had to let them say one, two, three, four, five, six, it was simply a sweet trouble!

In the next two days, the Xue family boiled all the remaining 240 catties of sweet potatoes into various sugars.

After the first two tests, combined with everyone's 'picking', the third time the heat and time were better mastered, and the color of several sugars made was also better, and the yield was improved.

I believe that after the next batch of sweet potatoes comes out, let them try it a few more times, and they will definitely be able to boil better.

The next day, except for one pound of each of the three kinds of sugar, the rest were encapsulated and sent to the Zheng family with twenty pounds of dried sweet potato residue.

Tasting sugar, everyone in the Xue family is naturally not as good as Zheng Linchu, an expert, the quality of this candy is good or bad, how it looks, as long as she tastes it and takes a look, she will naturally know it well.

And the smile in Zheng Linchu's eyes also showed people how satisfied she was with this batch of sugar, especially the final one.

Then she opened the twenty catties of dried sweet potato dregs, grabbed a handful in her hand, looked at it carefully, and then twisted a piece and put it in her mouth to chew.

After eating several bites in a row, she ate up the handful of dry residue in her hand before she reloaded it and put it into the dark compartment with the dozens of catties of sugar.

Out of the dark grid, Zheng Linchu sat down after returning to the bookcase, leaning back on the back of the chair and closing his eyes in contemplation.

Suddenly, I heard her muttering to herself, "Everything is ready, only a gust of east wind is missing..."

And the east wind which she whispered came the next day.

The next day, in the study, Zheng Linchu was writing with a pen.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter" is still the voice as warm as jade.

The man outside the door pushed the door in, came to the bookcase and knelt down on one knee, "See the young master." ”

There seemed to be irrepressible excitement in the voice of the visitor.

"How", the writer writes non-stop, and does not seem to be affected by him.

Then she stood up and put the two letters in her hand on her bookcase.

"There is a severe drought in the north, nearly 20% of the fields have not been harvested, almost the entire grain harvest in the north has failed, it is reported that more than 200,000 people have starved to death, and a large number of refugees are flocking to..."

As the man was talking, he saw that the paper under the pen of his young master was suddenly stained with ink.

The other party's unusual behavior made him stop talking suddenly, and he didn't know whether to continue talking for a while.

Listening to the other party's tone calmly, "Wei Qi, that is more than 200,000 living beings, and it is the duty of being born to be human in reverence for life." ”

"Yes", the man bowed his head and said indignantly, "Heaven is unfair, how innocent the common people are, how difficult the livelihood of the people is now, but they are rampant and looting, but the tax burden has not been reduced at all..."

After Wei Qiyu finished reporting, he heard Zheng Linchu sigh, "No matter what happened above, the people are really innocent, although we are humble and weak, but when we have a little spare strength, we should also do our part for the common people." ”

"The young master has a good heart."

"It seems that the eldest sister is going to have a hard time this time, and as a descendant of the Zheng family, I should also help her."

"What the young master said is extremely true."

Zheng Linchu stopped talking, only opened the letter and looked at it.

After reading, I changed the paper and wrote with a pen.

The pen didn't stop, and he asked, "Yuan Jiarong should go to the capital, right?" ”

"It's coming soon."

"How's this guy?"

"The city is very deep, her subordinates are far from her opponents, and she can't see the slightest shadow of the Wei people on her body, if she didn't know it in advance..."

"Hehe, do you have half a part of the city?" Zheng Linchu smiled and shook his head.

Wei Qi paused, and there was nothing to say in an instant.

The young master is really true, and he unmercilessly exposed his shortcomings.

After a long time, Zheng Linchu put down the pen, dried the ink on the paper, and folded it up and put it in the envelope.

"Go to the dark grid to move things out, and give this letter to Yuan Jiarong together."

"Yes."

Wei Qi took the letter and entered the dark compartment.

Three days later, in the northeast corner of the capital, the Zheng family, the only imperial merchant family in Dachu, was located here, and all the clansmen of the Zheng family lived here.

At this time, on the street, two carriages were slowly coming from one side, and finally stopped outside the gate of Zhengfu.

Then, in the first carriage, the curtain was lifted by the entourage, and a woman in her thirties stepped on a horse stool and got out of the car.

The woman's appearance is soft and gorgeous, her figure is exquisite, and she is wearing a bright red robe.

After standing still, the woman looked up at the luxurious gate in front of her, raised her hand neatly, and followed the attendant who came down from the back carriage and ran to the gate a few steps to hand over the door.

"Yuan Jiarong, a person from Cangling City, wants to visit the person in charge of the Zheng family."

"Wait a minute", Menzi took the post, instructed the other companion to watch the door, turned and entered the mansion.

But in a few moments, a man who seemed to be in charge came out and led the woman in.

At the woman's signal, the two attendants took the things off the carriage and followed them into the house.

The steward led the woman and the group to the main hall, then bowed down and said, "The master of the Yuan Zhuang will sit for a while, and the butler has already sent your greetings to the young patriarch." ”

The woman nodded, "Well said." ”

Only half an hour later, a clear voice was heard.

"Your guest is coming, Yu Xin is late, and I hope that the owner of Yuanzhuang will forgive his sins", the visitor said to her while walking.

"Where, the young patriarch is so busy with affairs, and it is my honor to take the time to meet the shopkeeper of my small grain village", Yuan Jiarong also got up and replied.

Zheng Yuxin said heartily, "The owner of the village laughed, the people who can provide food for my firm at this time are naturally my Zheng benefactors." ”
