"So, a total of three hundred and fifty taels were sold." Mother Zhong clapped her hands and smiled: "Amazing, father, this is really a lot, but you can buy more than 30 acres of land." ”

"Well, the money is coming from." Lao Zhong nodded, and was also very satisfied with his daughter-in-law's contentment and praise, "Apricot kernels can also be sold to pharmacies, a total of six hundred and fifty catties, three cents per catty, but it can also be sold for two taels of silver." ”

Zhong Xiaohe originally wanted to say that almonds can also be fried and sold for money, but then he thought about it, it is said that almonds are not good and poisonous, so in a certain palace fighting drama, didn't someone eat almonds and die.

I shuddered and quickly pressed my mind.

Lao Zhong took a sip of wine and said slowly: "In a few days, I will go to Zhoucheng again to see the situation of dried apricots." ”

Zhong Xiaohe smiled and said: "If you are popular, you will become bigger and stronger?" ”

"Well, if you really want to sell well, you have to seize the opportunity. It just so happens that the peaches can be connected, so we naturally have to make a big deal, and we can also increase the pen every year in the future. ”

"His father, I didn't say you, business is important, your own body is also important, you see how much weight you have lost these days? It won't last long if it goes on like this. ”

Lao Zhong touched his face, touched his stomach, thought about it and nodded, Hua'er is right, he can call himself an old man after two years at this age, his children are still young, and he has to take care of his body.

"You're right, we can't do it too much, and it's not a long-term solution to always do it at home."

"The two neighbors next door knocked on the door a while ago and asked, and they disliked our family's production and smelled smoky."

"Dad, if you really want to do a big job, then just build a workshop and invite a few more people."

"What the girl said is right, on the way back, my father also pondered this."

Mother Zhong's eyelids jumped, her old Zhong really wanted to make a big move.

"The cost we invest per catty is still too high, it would be nice if we saved a little."

"That's difficult, we don't have an orchard, you can't buy sugar, you have to hire people in the future, buy a venue, the cost will only be more, not less."

"Then you are wrong, the orchard also has to invest a lot of capital and manpower, and sugar is expensive, but we are fortunate to be in the middle, not the most expensive. Besides, if we buy more in the future, it will still be cheaper. ”

Speaking of sugar, Zhong Xiaohe really has an idea, but he is not sure whether it will work or not.

She said tentatively: "Dad, I heard that brown sugar can be refined into white sugar in some ways, I don't know if it will be more cost-effective." ”

"Do you want to make brown sugar?" Zhong Mu's eyes lit up and she said busily.

"It can't be estimated, the brown sugar is bitter."

"Wait, girl, you said you can use brown sugar to make white sugar?"

"Ah, actually, I'm not sure, whether it's really possible, even if it can, I don't know how many percent it can be refined, after all, brown sugar is not cheap."

"Sure, I've heard people say before that the white sugar of our Da Zhou is refined from brown sugar, but everyone doesn't know how to operate it, and it is said that the method is in the hands of the emperor."

Zhong Xiaohe was stunned, and the method in his memory seemed to have been discovered in the Ming Dynasty, as if it was recorded in Tiangong Kaiwu. Now it is there, and it is still in the hands of the imperial family, I am afraid that it is the masterpiece of that predecessor.

Lao Zhong didn't notice his daughter's expression for a moment, and he didn't know what words to use to describe his psychological feelings now.

First, I was excited, and secondly, I was very curious about the world where my daughter had been.

The girl has been stupid for many years, but she doesn't know whether it's good or bad, and she has mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

"I know this, too?"

"Uh~" Zhong Xiaohe didn't actually know how to operate it, but just saw it, "It seems to be some kind of yellow mud water drenching sugar method." ”

"Yellow muddy water? That brown sugar can't be wasted? Mother Zhong chuckled.

Zhong Xiaohe nodded, "It's yellow muddy water, but I can't say how to do it now, I have to go back and think about it carefully." ”

With yellow muddy water, Lao Zhong was also very surprised, but what the girl said was decent, so she had to nod, but she was skeptical.

This was not mentioned in advance, Lao Zhong was also tired, he had to rest early, and Zhong Xiaohe also left with ideas.

When the girl left, the two continued to chatter.

"The girl carries the memories of that side, and I don't know if it's good or bad." Old Zhong was a little worried.

"It's naturally good to look at it now, if you really start learning to speak, it will be troublesome to find your mother-in-law's family when you reach the age of finding it. Let's not worry too much, it's useless to worry. With the girl of our family, there is no blessing, even Gong Blind said that he is blessed. "Mother Zhong is quite optimistic.

Lao Zhong nodded, and it could only be like this.

"How about you say that you will marry the girl in the future and have an orchard?"

"Okay, I want to do the same too," Lao Zhong nodded, and the girl said earlier that she wanted to have an orchard, "It's just that don't go later, you have to Zhang Luo now, and when the girl gets married, there will be results, and it is best to be a dowry." Out of the fruit, if you want to sell fresh fruit or make preserved fruit, it is always an input.

Mother Zhong clapped her hands and said: "No, she will have income in the future, and I will have less heart disease." ”

"Heh, you thought about it early," and then whispered: "You, don't worry, you see that our daughter has a secret, and her brain is also bright, and if we look at it, it will be almost the same in the future." ”

"I hope so."

The thought that the girl would become someone else's family in a few more years, the two of them felt sour in their hearts.

Lao Zhong changed the topic, and told Zhong's mother about the new servant, and then washed and rested.

When she got up early the next morning, as soon as Zhong's mother opened the door, she saw a person at the door, which startled her, and she looked at it when she saw that it was the new servant Jiang.

The Jiang family didn't think about it, and the housemother was startled on the first morning, and hurriedly confessed.

According to the rules of the original master's house, she served in the master's mother's room, and the master's family had to wait outside before getting up.

Originally, he couldn't get in, because the second door would be inserted into the door from the inside, but Lao Zhong was more excited, opened the second door early in the morning, went out for a walk, and let Jiang in.

Because she came from a "big place", Li and Jixiang consciously taught others that they were weak-minded, but they didn't talk about anything except being familiar with Zhong Zhai, just waiting for the master to explain how to divide labor.

Jiang is also a diligent person, he didn't get guidance, and he had to actively show it to the master's family, no, he stayed outside the master's house early in the morning, waiting inside to shout and serve, who knew it would be self-defeating.

"Alright, it's okay, you didn't mean to."

The housewife was kind, Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was busy fetching water from a basin under the guidance of Zhong's mother, waiting for washing.

Mother Zhong is still a little uncomfortable, usually these things, she does it herself, she used to have to serve her daughter, but now it's good, what you can do with your hand has to be served, and the girl is also auspicious and responsible.

When I think of this, it's a little floating.

Looking at the new hairstyle in the mirror, Yang was immediately satisfied with Jiang's one hundred and twenty hairstyles, and said with a smile: "Your skills are really good." ”

Jiang Shi saw that he was happy with the housewife, so he was naturally happy, and he relaxed a lot, and said: "Before the slave maid used to match people, she just pulled the hair of the former housewife. ”

"Just comb your hair?" If this is the case, the family is small, but it can't afford it.

"The slave is an old man, and she will bring a few last girls."
