Chapter 159: Gratitude

There are more and more horses in the family.

Now in the summer, there is a lot of rain, and the simple hut on the mountain is no longer able to live.

After Tang Jingyun came back, he built a stable under the small north mountain in the village and let them all live there.

There is no place in the village for them to get a runway.

In order not to let their physical fitness be wasted, Tang Jingyun would let them run on several flat roads in the village for a while every morning and evening.

Anyway, under the teaching of the second uncle, this group of horses will not harm the crops in the field, and the second uncle will take them to play at other times.

Speaking of this group of horses, Tang Jingyun felt that it was very interesting, as if he had become a jing.

The last batch of green jade houses on the mountain are ripe, and the villagers have picked them up and transported them down the mountain to the warehouse by manpower.

Later, Tang Jingyun led a few horses over and asked them to help carry them down, and then rewarded them with some alfalfa to eat.

I don't know how the horses that took the lead in the work went back and communicated with their companions.

Every time I had to go out to work to carry the green jade house of the green gate, those horses were very happy.

After waiting for the mountain, he still fought to step forward, in order to eat more alfalfa, he would rather be a coolie.

This time, Cao San and the others came back, just in time for the ripening of the condensation red frost fruit, and this time there was one more kind of goods that needed to be transported.

When Tang Jingyun chose to plant, combined with Dayuan's environmental location, he paid attention to the preservation time.

The green jade room can be stored for a month at room temperature.

If you leave a piece of fruit vine, it can be extended for half a month.

And the preservation time limit of the condensation red frost fruit and the green gate green jade room is about the same.

In order to condense the red frost fruit, Tang Jingyun specially ordered a batch of pottery from the kiln mouth Boss Shen to put the red frost fruit in the condensation.

The plucked gel fruit is carefully placed in the pottery, and when it is full, the lid is sealed.

This extends the storage time.

It also avoids collision damage like the green jade house of Qingmen.

Cao San, they are transported to settle wages once.

After they came back this time, they went to Zhao Da Spear to get it.

They made a trip, one hundred silver per person, and the first step to get the money was to ask Zhang Shumo if they could buy five Qingmen green jade houses to eat for themselves.

"Absolutely." Zhao Damao said that he asked someone to take five Qingmen green jade houses and weighed them, "a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”

Cao San and the others thought they had misheard.

"Steward Zhao, did you miscalculate, isn't this fruit ten taels of silver a catty?"

Zhao Damao said with a smile: "This is the selling price in Shangjing, which is the county seat, and it is only eight taels of silver a catty." ”

Cao San calculated, these five fruits are one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and they are only four taels of silver a catty, which is cheaper than those in the county seat.

"Wouldn't this be too cheap...... Cao San said with some hesitation, "or ask the owner?" ”

Zhao Damao pushed the green jade house of Qingmen to them and let them take it away.

"Don't ask, this is what Miss Tang explained, as long as you are a worker working in the Tang family, you want to buy a green jade house at this price."

So Cao San held the fruit with a bewildered expression of pie falling from the sky.

They don't have much money though.

But it was precisely because of the benefits of the Qingmen Green Jade House that they gritted their teeth and took out more than 1,000 taels to buy five, preparing to eat equally among the thirty brothers.

I didn't expect that in the end, I didn't even spend a fraction.

Contacting the kind of vegetables that tasted particularly good before, and then looking at the few particularly cheap Qingmen green jade houses in his hands, Cao San's throat couldn't help choking.

He understood that Tang Jingyun deliberately helped them.

The Condensation Red Frost Fruit is a second-level plant with a health effect from the ancient martial plane, and the price is naturally more expensive than the Qingmen Green Jade Room.

Moreover, it is still limited, Tang Jingyun didn't think about how much to buy.

Most of the heads are to be kept for their own people to eat.

Even if the workers of the Tang family bought it, the price given by Tang Jingyun was sixty taels of silver a catty.

If you sell it to Shangjing, you will get a hundred taels of silver a catty.

Although the people in the village have made some money now, they are reluctant to buy the green jade house of Qingmen for four taels of silver and one catty, let alone the condensation red frost fruit of sixty taels of silver and one catty.

They also don't dare to have the idea of stealing something during the picking process.

Because there is an overseer in the field at all times.

If you steal one, you will be fined ten taels of silver and will be included in the blacklist of village recruitment.

How much can't you think about it, so that you will lose face, lose your money, and have a job for such a bite of food?

The fruit itself is slightly acidic.

However, because of the sweet red frosting on the skin, the sourness is neutralized, and it feels sweet and sour.

Before eating, Tang Jingyun likes to use well water to calm down, which is particularly delicious.

"This layer of red frosting sugar is like stone honey."

Zhao Xiaozhou, who ate the red frost fruit for the first time, said.

In the Great Yuan Dynasty, its most native sugar was caramel, or maltose.

And then there's honey.

The stone honey in Zhao Xiaozhou's mouth is sucrose.

Sugar cane is squeezed into juice and dried into syrup, and then boiled into brown sugar cubes, which are as hard as stones.

In the historical countries of the world where Tang Jingyun was located in the previous life, the emergence of cane sugar was introduced to China from India through the Silk Road.

At first, it was all brown and clumpy.

Later, India's sugar technology improved, and the sugar cubes could be refined into pale yellow sand sugar.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese invented the brown sugar decolorization technology, produced white sugar, and transmitted the white sugar sugar technology back to India.

The Great Yuan Dynasty also established mutual markets with other countries at the border gates, and the sea channels have always been open.

The appearance of sucrose in the Great Yuan Dynasty was the same as in Tang Jingyun's previous historical world.

It was also introduced from other countries through maritime trade during this period.

It's just that because of the turbulence between the DPRK and China in the past few years, the mutual market was closed, leaving only the sea lane.

But because of the unpredictable crisis of the sea, whether or not you can come back alive depends on luck.

Although there is one less trading market, there is not much increase in the number of merchants who dare to venture out to sea.

Whether the sugar technology of the countries where the sucrose technology was introduced has been improved, no one has yet explored and known.

There was only one kind of sugarcane here in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and that was thatch cane.

Thatch cane is wild sugar cane that has been domesticated.

Green skin, the rhizome is as thin as a thumb and has little juice, but the nutritional value is very high.

The yield of thatch cane is very low and the soil requirements are also very high.

Moreover, it is easy to be affected by the weather, the wind is slightly stronger, and most of the cane will be tilted and bent, which is not conducive to harvesting.

In short, thatch cane is a delicate plant that is not easy to grow, has a very low sugar yield, but has a good taste and edible nutritional value.

When cane sugar was first introduced to the Great Yuan Dynasty, it was only enjoyed by the royal family or the nobles of the family.

Nowadays, although it can be produced by itself, due to the low production, it is scarce and expensive.

Therefore, those who can eat cane sugar, or even gnaw on sugar cane, at most, add a rich person with power.

Ordinary people can still only eat caramel occasionally.
