Chapter 55: It's Done
The next day, after breakfast, Yang had just seen Huzi and Erdan, who were going to school, and heard Lao Zhong shouting in the back garden:
"Flowers, girls, come on, come on."
When Zhong Xiaohe and Yang heard the sound, they hurriedly ran to the backyard.
"I'll go." The first funnel to put in the yellow mud water has a drop of red-black water dripping from the bottom port every three breaths.
Anyway, although the method was provided by Zhong Xiaohe, she had never done it or seen it, and she was always a little bottomless in her heart, yellow muddy water can filter brown sugar into white sugar, and she couldn't say it coldly, who could believe it?
But now it seems that maybe it will work!
The family gathered around to see the rarity, and Lao Zhong's heart was pounding, he was really looking forward to it and afraid of being hurt.
Over time, the other funnels began to drip as well, and only the earliest ones dripped faster.
In less than half a day, the top layer of all funnel sugar paste was no longer paste, but turned into white crystals.
"Tsk, I really can't imagine that such a filthy thing as yellow muddy water can get such white sugar." Yang's face was pleasantly surprised.
Lao Zhong reached out and pinched a few grains in his mouth, rolled a few times on the tip of his tongue, his expression looked quite indifferent, but he was already crazy in his heart, this is really good.
The two of them also pinched some and tried it.
Zhong Xiaohe's heart was finally steady, and the two fat hands were put back, pretending to be calm: "It's done." ”
Lao Zhong and Yang didn't move their eyes, still staring at a few funnels.
Ignored.
Towards the next night, before Huzi came back, all the funnels were no longer dripping, and six pieces of white paper were spread out on the table, and on each piece of paper, there was a "white sugar" poured out of the funnel. ”
Why is it a slip, this is particular, you can't take the funnel and buckle it directly on the paper, you have to tilt the funnel at an angle, stretch the slip and pour out the sugar sand inside.
Obviously, the sugar sand in the funnel is not the same white from top to bottom, some from white to yellow, and some from white to reddish yellow.
At this time, the yellow mud water is affected by the thinning of the water.
There is also a difference in the amount of white that comes out of each funnel, which is the consistency of the sugar paste.
Lao Zhong looked at the strange table in front of him, and he could see at a glance which was the best match.
"It's definitely not optimal, and if you want the best, you have to try."
Lao Zhong agreed, and after only tasting all the colored ones, his expression was no longer too satisfied.
"According to the standard of white sugar sold on the market, we can get half of the pure white sugar, which is profitable, and the rest is darker, and it will definitely be no problem to cook the preserved fruit."
Whether there is a problem or not, it must be actually tested, but it is not the most important and urgent thing, the most important thing is to find a temporary workshop site.
The taste of boiled preserved fruit is too strong, with Lao Zhong's sense of worry, there is a lot to be done in this regard, but the technique is too simple, so try to keep it secret, which is what to do.
In the past few days, he has taken Liu Wu everywhere, trying to find a piece of land in the suburbs of the county, which can not only build an orchard, but also build a house in it, which is actually a small Zhuangzi.
There are many lands on the outskirts of the county, all of which belong to the owner, but none of them belong to the old bell.
This can only be bought by the dental store, and the problem is that the dental store has no information about resale.
The land plot of the native people is particularly strong, who will sell the land if there is nothing to do? Even Wang Dalan would rather sell his daughter than his field, which can be seen.
Lao Zhong had to ask the tooth man to help pay attention, but he didn't say that he was in a hurry, and what he said was not equivalent to asking for a higher price.
After waiting for a few more days, he didn't see a reply from Yaxing, and the old Zhong was a little deflated, thinking that it was really not good, so he had to go back to Qiaonan Village to build his own land, or go to the old father-in-law to find a way.
But there's really no way around it.
After building a workshop, it is designated to be managed nearby, and the whole country is far away, what should I do with my wife and children? All go with you, what if Huzi goes to school?
Lao Zhong found nothing, but he was often annoyed by renting a car, and in a fit of anger, he bought back a carriage.
Seeing that the peach was coming down, he thought that he couldn't wait any longer, so he packed up a little and took Liu Wu directly to Fucheng.
It had only been about ten days since he returned.
This trip was really worthwhile, just arrived in Dexin was warmly received by the guys, and after a while, Chen Dongjia rushed over and greeted warmly:
"Brother Zhong, I can look forward to you. If I don't come, I'll have to take the liberty of visiting. ”
After a moment of astonishment, Lao Zhong was overjoyed, his own apricots were welcomed to this extent?
"Brother Chen, there are some other things at home, which have been delayed for a few days."
"How much did you make of dried apricots? This has bottomed out, how much you have, how much I want. ”
"There's really no more, I said a while ago, that's all for this year's dried apricots."
Chen Dongjia was very disappointed, "Although there are fewer apricots, there are still them, why don't you continue to do it when you make money?" ”
"The first time I did it, I didn't dare to make a big whole, and now I can't harvest many apricots. However, the peaches came down immediately, and it was estimated that if you touched the moon, you would be able to have preserved peaches. ”
"Preserved peaches? If it's just as delicious, I want it, as much as I want, as much as I want. "Preserved peaches, Chen Dongjia has heard Lao Zhong talk about it before, presumably it must be the same as preserved apricots, there is nothing to worry about.
"It's only been too long for you to be a month, and the peaches ordered in the south are already ripe, so you have to hurry."
After speaking, without waiting for Lao Zhong to reply, he took out a box of 200 taels of deposit.
Lao Zhong didn't take it and said, "Brother Chen, ugly things can be said ahead, and this is the first time I have done this preserved peach." Do you want to make a few catties and taste it first? ”
Chen Dongjia really hesitated, "That's it, as long as your preserved peaches are the same as the dried apricots." Just go down boldly. Not really, that's mine. ”
Hey, Lao Chen is so determined, how urgent this is.
Rich.
"That's okay, just don't order too much, I'm worried that I won't be able to let go, it's the middle of summer."
Chen Dongjia did not hesitate, "Don't worry, I am free to do my best, come with two thousand catties, for my brother can eat." ”
"Two, two thousand pounds?"
The old bell made a thump and missed a beat.
Two thousand pounds? The price of peaches and apricots is about the same, and according to the previous algorithm, you can make a profit of 1,000 taels of silver. He made it up with his own family, and it wasn't much more than that.
What's more, 2,000 catties of preserved peaches means that fresh peaches cost 120,000 catties, and I am afraid that the entire Liuxian County will have to be harvested.
"You don't need to deliver it once, come in parts, and deliver it once every three to seven days, and settle it each time, how about it?"
It works.
"Brother Chen, it's the first time I've made this preserved peach, I have to try it. I don't know how many days it will take, and besides, I still have to prepare places and guys, and the first batch is not so fast.
Chen Dongjia pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just try to be as fast as possible." ”
"Okay, the ugly words are ahead, if the preserved peaches really taste bad, I can't let you suffer, the deposit will be repaid in full, okay? Otherwise, I won't be sure. ”
"If that's the case, just refund me in half, how can you do business without risk."
"That's it." Lao Zhong didn't hesitate this time, accepted the deposit, and wrote a receipt, but the two of them did not make any contract.
Two hundred taels, for Lao Chen, it is really not much, for Lao Zhong, what is it, he can afford to lose.
