Zeng Hao has been back in Yanggu County for almost a week, and this week he has been doing one thing, if he can succeed, his wealth will grow wildly, and he will become the richest man in the entire Liaocheng, oh no, it may not take long to become the richest man in the entire Hedong Road!

And this incident was inspired by the fact that he was invited to Li Zhixian Mansion a few days ago.

A few nights ago, Zeng Hao returned to the door of his house after dealing with the affairs of the tailor shop and found that Li Zhixian was waiting for him.

"Da Lang, come to my house, I will show you a valuable treasure!" Li Zhixian said mysteriously.

So Zeng Hao went over with him curiously.

When he came to the house, Li Zhixian carefully took out a delicate small wooden box, and then solemnly reminded Zeng Hao: "Are you mentally prepared?" When you see you, don't let your eyes widen! ”

Zeng Hao saw that he was so mysterious, he unconsciously held his breath and nodded slightly.

"Then it's time to witness the miracle!" Li Zhixian said as he slowly opened the wooden box.

Zeng Hao: "......"

Li Zhixian probably wants to perform a magic trick......

The wooden box was slowly opened, revealing something white inside.

"Bell, bell! What do you think?! Have you ever been surprised?!! Li Zhixian looked at Zeng Hao with a flaunting expression, but found that Zeng Hao was not only not surprised, but had a disappointed expression.

"Seeing that you said so well earlier, I thought you would come up with something, but you ended up bringing me a box of sugar, what's so surprising about that?" Zeng Hao said speechlessly.

"Sugar?" Li Zhixian apparently heard this kind of title for the first time, "This is called frosting." ”

"So the priceless treasure you just told me about is this little box...... Frosting? ”

"Or else?!" Li Zhixian's eyes widened.

"No, I wondered, how expensive can this ordinary spice be?" Zeng Hao said that he wanted to reach out and taste some.

Li Zhixian slammed the box shut, almost pinching Zeng Hao's fingers.

"How expensive can it be??" Li Zhixian looked at Zeng Hao like an idiot, "This kind of frosting is a unique product of Fujian, and the manufacturing process is extremely difficult, it produces more than 100 catties a year, all of which must be supplied to the royal family as tribute, and the people can't buy it if they have money, do you say it's a treasure with no price?"

This time, it was because of a friend of mine who worked in a sugar factory in Fujian that I secretly brought out such a little bit, otherwise I would never have seen this kind of treasure in my life! ”

Zeng Hao didn't hear Li Zhixian's words clearly, because his heart was now full of excitement and excitement - he could make sugar, and he would make this kind of white sugar!

Since seeing the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, especially the prosperity of the catering industry, Zeng Hao subconsciously thought that home-cooked seasonings like white sugar must also be common.

Actually, this is wrong, and it is very wrong.

There is indeed no shortage of sugar in this era, but the vast majority of them are sucrose, brown sugar, sand sugar, brown sugar, etc., as for the white sugar like later generations, although it has also appeared, but as Li Zhixian said, only Fujian, which has a developed sugar industry, has mastered the technology of producing white sugar, but this technology is still very underdeveloped, and the output is very low.

But Zeng Hao will make this kind of white sugar, and the technology is not complicated, it is recorded in the Ming Dynasty's masterpiece "Tiangong Kaiwu" - yellow mud water drenching decolorization method.

Zeng Hao was glad that he had watched "Heavenly Creations" and remembered this method, otherwise he would have missed an opportunity to make money quickly and easily!

Originally, his original business idea was to rely on his first-hand cooking technology to open restaurants throughout the Great Song Dynasty, until he monopolized the restaurant industry, completed the original capital accumulation, and then slowly set foot in other industries, becoming bigger and bigger, and finally became the richest man in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Since these trips to see a lot of the world, Zeng Hao looked back and thought about this initial business idea, only to realize how naïve and ridiculous it was.

Let's talk about the craft of stir-frying, it is true that stir-fry has not yet become popular in this era, but among the top chefs in the capital city of Tokyo, this craft has long been played.

All kinds of stir-fried dishes, Zeng Hao, as a foodie traveler, has never seen a few in later generations.

It is said that Zeng Hao accompanied Pan Jinlian to one of the more high-end restaurants in Tokyo to eat before returning to Yanggu County, and one of the dishes is called "crab stuffed orange", how to do it?

Cut off the top of the yellow ripe orange with branches, hollow out the middle flesh, leave a little orange juice, and then put the crab roe, crab oil, and crab meat into this big orange, use the top cover of the orange with branches that were originally cut off back to the original place, and then steam it with wine and water, put in a little refined salt and vinegar, and then serve it.

The "crab stuffed orange" served is still a big orange, and if you don't look closely, you can't see that there are traces of being cut.

The bottom and surroundings of the big orange are also set off with chrysanthemum petals, roses and orchid leaves, not to mention the taste, Zeng Hao will give a full score for this appearance alone.

After reading this dish, you will understand what it means to never get tired of eating and not getting tired of cooking.

Then he tasted it, and it was so delicious that it almost made him cry!

There are also many dishes on the back, such as fried quail with three fresh bamboo shoots, honey melon fish, crispy qiong leaves, sheep tongue sticks and so on.

Every dish is full of color and flavor, and Zeng Hao is hit once every time he eats a dish.

By the end of the meal, the confidence brought to him by stir-frying had been completely shattered.

This restaurant is not the top restaurant in Tokyo, and the food has been made so delicious, Zeng Hao can't imagine that the top restaurant like Fan Lou will make the dishes exquisite and delicious!

Therefore, it is a fool's dream to say that Zeng Hao wants to dominate the restaurant industry of the Song Dynasty just by relying on his stir-fry skills.

Speaking of monopoly, although there was no "anti-monopoly law" in the Song Dynasty, the water of commerce in the Song Dynasty was too deep, especially in the era of Song Huizong, when traitors were in power, businessmen without background did not talk about monopoly, as long as the business did a little better, they would immediately be gradually swallowed up by those "leaders" in the same industry.

In this era, the top "leaders" of each industry are definitely not businessmen, but the bureaucrats behind them.

Zeng Hao, who has no background, may not even be able to go out of Liaocheng in business, let alone compete with industry leaders and engage in a business empire.

But if Zeng Hao can make the white sugar that is in short supply in this era, not to mention anything else, the accumulation of original capital will definitely be very fast.

Just do it!

Zeng Hao went to the sugar shop and bought a hundred catties of brown sugar directly, after all, he only has rich theoretical knowledge, and he has not actually operated it, and there is a high probability that he will make a few mistakes in the process of doing it.

The owner of the sugar shop knew Zeng Hao, and when he saw that he bought so much brown sugar, he intimately asked the guys in the shop to personally deliver the brown sugar to Zeng Hao's house.

After buying brown sugar, Zeng Hao rushed to the grocery store non-stop and bought a large wooden funnel for winemaking.

After buying all this, he went home in high spirits.
