Xie Rumo knocked on her head, she forgot, there was no sugar at this time.

The earliest origin of sugar, in the official history, the earliest record is in the period of Taizong, Taizong sent an envoy (to India) to take the method of boiling sugar. That is, sucrose appeared in some parts of China before the Tang Dynasty, that is, between 618 and 917 AD, but due to

The process is insufficient, Emperor Taizong sent to take the method of boiling sugar, according to the Indian method to improve the technology of boiling sugar, the sugar of this period, presented in the lump, purple-red, which is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, "condensation like a stone."

Broken like sand", "this purple sugar also", that is, our lumpy traditional brown sugar.

Returning to the main story, it is only about 578 A.D., that is to say, now brown sugar is only a prototype at most. It is not surprising that Wang's second sister-in-law doesn't know how to make sugar and boil sugar.

The Ayi people will grow so much tiger skin sugarcane because their tribe's land is suitable, and now there is a surplus of production, and this problem must be solved.

Later, Ayifu, who had been specially dressed, came to the house of the princess, but left a little dauntingly not long after.

After lunch, Shen Dongli and the others came back with bad news.

"There's just a road leading to the outside, along a mountain stream, probably less than a foot wide. I went to see it today, and the entire mountain stream was blocked by falling snow, and I couldn't get out. ”

"What then? You don't have to wait until the snow melts to get out, do you? "Xie Rumo is in a hurry, if the snow really melts, then it's March, right? Don't talk about Shen Dongli, just talk about her, how can she wait until then.

"Don't worry, let's look again and see if there is any other way out." Shen Dongli also frowned, although he was willing to live a life-free life with Xie Rumo, there were too many people and things to worry about outside. I've been trapped here for two or three months, and there's no turning over outside.

Just when Xie Rumo and Shen Dongli were racking their brains to find a way, the news that she and Shen Dongli both had accidents had been secretly transmitted back to the Xie Yan family.

And before that, something happened to the Wang family, the affiliated family of the Xie family, and it has not been dealt with yet. Wang Suo's grandson Queen Xingyue had an accident, she was taken away by gangsters when she was watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and people were ruined, and when she got it back, everyone collapsed.

The Lantern Festival has accidents every year, because there are too many people traveling that night, the streets and alleys are overcrowded, and it has always been the best time to shoot flowers to commit crimes.

But there is always a mistake in Baimi, and some premeditated abduction is even more difficult to prevent, compared to the huge crowd of travelers on the day of the Lantern Festival, Jing Zhaoyin can dispatch too few officers and soldiers. Coupled with the intricacies of the forces behind these criminal gangs, pinning their hopes on others is far less secure than being more careful themselves.

At this point, nearly ten days have passed. Wang Xingyue attempted to cut herself several times, and after Wang Xingyue's accident, the Wang family watched it very closely.

When something like that happened, Xingyue's girl was now in a trance, except for her loved ones, everyone who approached her would collapse and shout, and the whole person was also very thin.

In the study, Old Man Xie's master and servant were dealing with all the important things of the Xie family.

Xie Li couldn't help but shake his head when he remembered the recent events. It's a pity, quite a good girl.

When the girl of the Wang family had an accident, his mother-in-law went to the Wang family at that time, and wanted to ask if there was anything that could help, and she saw the daughter of the Wang family once, and now everyone is not a ghost. Even his old wife, a woman who was usually kind, came back and told him that the thief who had ruined the daughter of the Wang family should be killed.

At that time, he felt that this matter was not simple, not like an ordinary thief committing a crime.

Later events also vaguely proved his guess, otherwise, with Wang Suo's ability and the help of the Xie family's power, would he not be able to find out the thief?

But after all these days, I only caught a few small fish and shrimp, and the people behind the scenes are still a fog.

"By the way, the Yan family has made a request to look at the Heavenly Stone Order."

"Okay, you can have it sent over secretly."

Old Man Xie sneered, the Yan family finally found out this step, Emperor Wu Cheng, with so many shady means, I am afraid that the soldiers will not have to die, it is really too suspicious.

At this time, the Xie family's guard, who had a vague and ordinary face, came in from the unique secret passage and handed Xie Li a secret letter.

After seeing it, a trace of disgust flashed on Old Man Xie's face, and he handed the secret letter to Xie Li, "The person who spoiled the daughter of the Wang family has been found." ”

"Is it him?" Seeing the information in the letter, Xie Li was also quite surprised.

"This family is used to being willful—" Old Man Xie said coldly.

"It's him, no wonder Wang Sue hasn't found out after so long." Then he said, "He must be about to know." ”

Isn't that right? Seeking a career is a matter of putting the whole family's head on the belt of their trousers, in fact, since Old Man Xie had this idea, the entire Xie family and the affiliated retainer families have already stepped in with half a foot. If the Xie family is liquidated in the end, these people will not escape responsibility. This is also the reason why his old master echoed him as soon as he told him that he had almost no struggle and entanglement.

But for such a big thing as seeking a career, there must be a process for people to accept it. And also to prevent the people who join in from selling them out of fear or for other reasons.

"Just let him get on board."

As the think tank of the Xie family, Wang Sue has its own merits, and the Xie family is about to start some layouts, and some things are not as good as his. Now because Wang Xingyue has a gap with the Yuwen family, it is time to absorb him.

There is also Wang Jiran, who is in charge of the general ledger of the Xie family, and the flow of money cannot be hidden from Wang Jiran, and he even needs his help to hide from the world.

In the matter of seeking a career, it is not enough to rely on the old man, him and the young master. The Xie family must work together, which requires the leaders of the entire Xie family group to work together.

But how to get them on board requires some timing and skill. No, the time has come to contain the king.

Of course, they will not design their own retainers, if they do, what is the difference between them and Emperor Wucheng.

They are guided by the situation, and let them do it as if it was their own will, not an idea imposed on them by the master.

Dingguo Mansion

Recently, Old Man Yan has been reported to be unwell, and the atmosphere in the entire mansion is very gloomy.

At this time, in the courtyard of the old Guogong, his henchmen were reporting the progress of the matter to him, "Grandpa Guo, what Xie Daoist said before is true. For this reason, the Xie family specially built a research base to experiment with the Heavenly Stone Order. ”

General Yan asked, "Can you find out where he got this?" ”
