Chapter 358: Candy
Heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce have not yet begun in this era.
Everyone understands the importance of farming, and the value of merchants has not yet been highlighted.
Therefore, the Empire is now supportive of business practices.
Moreover, the tax revenue for commerce is much less than the tax for agriculture, and even many places are encouraging business.
Because of the problem of land reclamation, many people may not have their own land.
Some people do not need land to support themselves in business, and the imperial court is happy to see them.
The development of Qingshan Town has entered the eyes of the imperial court.
Now that the Quyuan plough has been sent to promote the nose ring, I believe that this year's autumn ploughing will be much easier.
Through the water transport wharf, it is directly connected to the counties along the road in Beijing, which can indeed greatly facilitate the communication between Qingshan Town and the outside world.
Of course, Han Che is a strong supporter of this kind of thing.
"Lord Zhixian has a heart, I am now an idle farmer, since this kind of thing is a policy of the imperial court, I should strongly support it.
What to do, you just follow the rules, I don't like to care about this. ”
"Yes, yes, the villain will definitely convey Guogong's words."
In fact, it is a process of going through the motions.
I know that this great god doesn't care about things, but you should worship the dock, you have to come, otherwise you are ignorant.
The official article is more or less like this.
So Han Che was very impatient with this set of the court.
After the reception, I arrived at the wine shop alone.
Instead of talking nonsense with these people, it is better to find a few people to drink freely.
Lin Xiaohe was busy with the things at hand, thought about it and decided to go to the sugar factory.
Nowadays, it is also a big part of the profits.
Unfortunately, there is no glass, no greenhouses, and no natural hot springs.
Otherwise, plant vegetables, wait until winter, and let those people show their blind eyes.
Who says you can't get rich growing vegetables?
Now I can only think about it, Lin Xiaohe is still worried about it.
Fortunately, the farm has now begun to be built near the oil mill, which can be regarded as part of the preliminary project.
Lin Xiaohe still hasn't found sugar beets, it stands to reason that the climate here should be more northern, but sugar cane can be grown here, but there are no sugar beets.
This is a very mysterious thing.
Now that sugarcane is about to go off the market, sugar production can only rely on malt.
Zhao Qingshan, a man in his forties, joined the army in his early years and injured one eye.
Therefore, no girl has been able to take a fancy to him until now.
Han Che brought him in charge of the sugar factory, because this man has a very special sensitivity to sweetness.
He could even taste how to get the candy out of the sweet-tasting items.
This kind of ability really shocked Lin Xiaohe.
Under his leadership, the sugar workshop has now made rock sugar and white sugar.
This is white sugar, and it is filtered and decolorized in the process of making brown sugar.
Lin Xiaohe just knew that there was such a process to produce white sugar, but she didn't know how to decolorize it.
After all, she can't do everything.
However, Zhao Qingshan took a few people, and it took only half a month to get it out.
The sugar is like snow, and it is gratifying to look at.
It's just that now it's still mainly brown sugar, and white sugar hasn't been on the market yet.
Fortunately, they followed Lin Xiaohe's advice and had already made fruit candy, but now the packaging is a problem.
So Lin Xiaohe just came over today to see if you have found a way.
At this time, there was no such thing as waterproof candy wrapper, and she had thought about coating the paper with gum.
It's just that paper is more expensive these days, and if you do that, it will greatly increase the cost, and the price of selling it will also increase.
This is contrary to the original intention, Lin Xiaohe's main thing is to be affordable, so that ordinary people's lives can be improved.
Approaching the workshop, there was a sweet smell in the air, which was the smell of happiness.
In the sugar factory, everyone is very hygienic.
Wash your hands and rinse your mouth before entering, and then tuck all your hair into a special hat.
The apron sleeves must be prepared, and then the wicker mugwort leaves must be sprayed with water before entering.
This is the oldest disinfection process that should be.
Zhao Qingshan heard that Lin Xiaohe had arrived, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Boss, why do you have time to come over today?"
Lin Xiaohe, a girl, used her charm to conquer everyone, and everyone respected her.
After all, being able to make a lot of things out of thin air that didn't exist before is the darling of heaven for these people.
"Listen to what this means, Uncle Zhao, I am not welcome here!" Lin Xiaohe made a naughty joke.
Zhao Qingshan is older than her father, and it is not an exaggeration to call her uncle.
Zhao Qingshan smiled: "Oh, the owner, you are making fun of my old Zhao again, you know that I don't mean that." ”
Zhao Qingshan looks very fierce, but his temper is excellent.
"Hurry up, don't stand outside, we've got some fruit candy out the next few days.
It's just that the gummies mentioned by the owner before, we can't do it for a while.
However, when maltose is paired with fruit juice, the fruit candy produced has a variety of flavors and tastes good.
It's not just those gluttonous mothers-in-law, but also us men who like it. ”
Lin Xiaohe knew that this was normal.
These days, the sweetness is much more expensive than salt.
Otherwise, those brown sugar wouldn't have brought her that much benefit.
This kind of thing has a fatal attraction to girls, children and the elderly, and after eating it once, it will be unforgettable.
"By the way, Uncle Zhao, it's not that I don't let you eat sugar, it's just that I want to say something here.
Candy is good, but you can't eat too much.
If you eat too much, you will easily rot your teeth, and if you eat too much sugar, you will easily get a kind of diabetes.
It may also be called thirst-quenching disorder.
In short, there is no cure for that disease.
So don't forget to remind everyone that maybe you should come up with a charter. ”
Zhao Qingshan wrote it down seriously and nodded.
He didn't suspect that Lin Xiaohe was stingy or anything.
Even if it is a small worker in the workshop, there is no shortage of sugar at home.
And Lin Xiaohe knows a lot, since she said so, it must be for everyone's sake.
"So that's the case, Li Dachuan was still shouting about a toothache two days ago, and it is estimated that he has eaten too much sugar.
I went back and issued a ban, and no one was allowed to steal food during work.
It may be better to look back and set a reward measure according to the length of service and merit. ”
Lin Xiaohe nodded: "Uncle Zhao is thoughtful. As a reminder, brushing your teeth frequently in the morning and evening can prevent bad teeth. ”
He has to do this kind of thing, and Lin Xiaohe is also relieved.
In fact, now they have begun to explore all kinds of talents, and it is much easier to put them in the right positions than Lin Xiaohe.
And the strengths of these people have developed, and they are much stronger than Lin Xiaohe's half-ass.
"Boss, you taste these made from the juice of the red forest fruit. Now we are experimenting with how long these candies can be stored under normal conditions. ”
