Chapter 162 Sugarcane Raw Materials
The days passed quickly like flying swords, and within a few days, it was the day when Ye Zhen's sugar workshop opened.
In the past few days, Ye Zhen has suppressed the excitement in his heart, and has repeatedly told the people around him to be more cautious about the opening of this workshop.
There is no precedent for anyone to make sugar in Qingcheng, if it is known by others, and someone knows this technology, I am afraid it will cause big trouble.
Xie Yunshu looked at Ye Zhen's busy appearance, and couldn't help but worry about her in his heart.
But he never thought that Ye Zhen would talk to him excitedly every day.
"Yunshu, I just feel that I have been very busy these days."
Ye Zhen's happy appearance made Xie Yunshu's heart also satisfied.
"I'm just afraid you're too tired, and now the things in the workshop have been almost arranged, but ......."
Xie Yunshu changed his words, and inexplicably thought of something, so he looked up at Ye Zhen.
"Now the sugar production process has been perfected, but I have consulted in the past few days, and there is not much sugar cane here."
Xie Yunshu raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhen, and after noticing the clear expression on Ye Zhen's face, he couldn't help but speak.
"Did you already know about this?"
Ye Zhen didn't plan to tell him these things, but now she is extremely busy, and most of the things about the inn and the renovation of the new residence on weekdays are Xie Yunshu is busy.
She felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she didn't want Xie Yunshu to work so hard.
"I knew it before, but I had something in mind."
Ye Zhen thought for a moment, and originally planned to talk to Xie Yunshu in a few days, but after thinking about it carefully, he was afraid that Xie Yunshu would be too busy, so he delayed it until today.
"Why is it that I am becoming more and more restrained now, why don't I talk about everything?"
Xie Yunshu stretched out his hand to hold Ye Zhen's hand, his heart was full of pampering, and his tone was very gentle.
"There are very few sugar cane here in Qingcheng, and there are only two ways to get it."
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, Xie Yunshu paused and slowly spoke.
"But you want to bring some sugar cane from the county town of Barbarian?"
Ye Zhen sensed the temptation in Xie Yunshu's tone, and just shook his head.
"The county town of Barbarian is too far away from here, if it is lucky, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate."
Ye Zhen frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and then continued to speak.
"And there are still workshops in Manyi County that need to be dotted, I'm afraid this road is not very good......
"And the county seat of Barbarian is too far away from here, so if you want to transport it, I'm afraid it's not convenient."
Xie Yunshu stretched out his hand and stroked the tips of Ye Zhen's hair, revealing a bit of indifference in his words.
"And what do you think?"
Ye Zhen thought about it for a while, and a thought flashed in his heart.
"Why don't we look around Qingcheng?"
Sugarcane is not food, Qingcheng is rich in land, but there are few sugarcane, sugarcane is a rare thing, I am afraid it is not easy to find.
However, Xie Yunshu was reluctant to brush Ye Zhen's thoughts, he reached out and hugged Ye Zhen and spoke softly.
"If you want, I'll look for it with you."
Ye Zhen stood on tiptoe and kissed Xie Yunshu.
On the second day, Ye Zhen cleaned up early in the morning, and as soon as she went out, she saw Xie Yunshu holding a bowl of sweet soup.
"How do you make such a delicious thing in the morning?"
Ye Zhen took it and took a sip, the sweetness was excellent, which made her feel crispy and comfortable.
"I'm going to be running outside for a day today, so you might as well drink more."
Zhao Yi rubbed his worried eyes and followed Lin Bin out, he tilted his head and looked at Ye Zhen who was standing there, a little curious.
"Auntie, why did you get up so early today?"
Ye Zhen touched Zhao Yi's head, and his voice was soft.
"Xiao Yi, we are going out today, you obediently follow Lin Bin to eat here, and when your aunt comes back, can you make something to eat?"
Zhao Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the delicious food.
"Really?"
Ye Zhen's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled lightly.
"Of course."
Zhao Yi smiled and hurriedly spoke.
"Then aunt, you have to come back early, remember to bring me something to eat, and you should also pay attention to safety."
After Ye Zhen heard Zhao Yi say this, he couldn't help but smile and spoke.
"Then you have to be obedient."
Ye Zhen simply ate something, and then went to several surrounding villages with Xie Yunshu.
They made a brief plan and went to the nearest village first.
Ye Zhen searched around, but he could be regarded as finding someone who had a warehouse at home.
"Can I buy some sugar cane?"
When the farmer heard this, he frowned.
"What is sugar cane?"
Ye Zhen was stunned, obviously he didn't expect to say this.
"It's just a kind of fruit, do you have it here?"
The farmer shook his head, busied himself with his things, and then spoke.
"No, no, there is a locust plague during this time, and there is not much food, how can there be such a thing as sugar cane."
Ye Zhen was a little helpless, so he looked at Xie Yunshu on the side.
Xie Yunshu just shook his head, and didn't say anything, just pulled Ye Zhen out.
"How could there be?"
Ye Zhen was melancholy in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
"Let's go to a few more."
After hearing Xie Yunshu say this, Ye Zhen could only nod helplessly.
In the next few villages, some people knew about sugarcane, but there was not much stock.
It seems that the people of Qingcheng rarely eat this crop.
"I've been running for a while, and that's all I can get."
Ye Zhen looked at the sugar cane being dragged in the distance, and felt inexplicably melancholy in his heart.
Xie Yunshu also felt a little helpless, these people didn't even have such a thing as sugarcane at home.
"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way when I go back first, I've been running for a long time today."
Xie Yunshu handed the handbag to Ye Zhen, and his voice was gentle.
Ye Zhen had no choice but to nod and settle the calculations in his heart.
By the time they went back, it was already late, and Zhao Yi had fallen asleep.
Ye Zhen lifted the curtain and glanced at Zhao Yi who was asleep, so he had to sigh helplessly.
"Tomorrow my aunt will make you something delicious."
Besides, when Fu Ru'an sent the county guard away, he saw Fu Heng.
He originally planned to wait until he was done with these few days to find Fu Heng.
But now that the county keeper is gone, his heart is inexplicably empty.
hurriedly met Fu Heng.
After Fu Heng learned about it, he waited outside the door early.
Just waiting for Fu Ru'an to send someone to call him, he came in.
"Young Master."
Fu Ru'an nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
"How's the matter in Barbarian County?"
Fu Ru'an's bony hand knocked on the wooden table again and again, and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
"Back to the young master, it has been dealt with almost completely, and now the county orders over there have given up the arrangement of the sugar business, and the sugar business in the entire barbarian county belongs to our Fu family."
Fu Ru'an's eyes opened slightly, looked at the person in front of him, and nodded after a while.
"That's good."
Fu Heng hurriedly stood up and handed over his hand.
"It's the young master's plan, but the little one has been staying in the county seat according to the young master's orders."
Fu Ruan didn't say anything, just gestured to the tea on the side.
"Now I have something new to tell you."
Fu Heng knew Fu Ru'an's habits, drinking a bowl of tea and taking on a task.
"Young Master, please speak."
Fu Heng finished the tea and hurriedly spoke.
"Now that the Xie family and his wife have come to Qingcheng, you must know about this."
After listening to Fu Ru'an's words, Fu Heng nodded.
If he hadn't helped Ye Zhen this time, I'm afraid that for a while, the young master wouldn't have thought of promoting him to be a steward.
"You don't have to go to the county seat of Barbarian anymore, the position of the steward of the Fu Mansion in Qingcheng has always been left to you, you do things properly, and now helping the Xie family and his wife to set up a sugar workshop in Qingcheng is the most important thing you have to do."
Fu Ru'an gave a few simple instructions, mainly to help Ye Zhen with things like their sugar workshop.
Fu Heng knew it in his heart, and he could also guess that Ye Zhen and the others would be able to make the sugar workshop bigger, and it would also be of great help to the Fu family's sugar business at that time.
Few people in Qingcheng have ever tasted sweets, but how can anyone not love such delicious food.
"The young master's affairs, the little one will definitely do it for you."
Fu Ru'an nodded, then waved his hand to let Fu Heng leave first.
Now that Fu Heng can return to the Qingcheng Lord's house again, he is even happier in his heart.
He was already not very comfortable staying in the barbarian county, and now he felt that he could not give full play to his ability to do things there.
Being able to return to the Fu family's house again also shows Fu Ru'an's affirmation of his ability to do things.
After thinking about it, he only felt that he had to thank Ye Zhen and them for this matter.
If it weren't for the mistake, I'm afraid that he wouldn't be able to return to the Fu family for a while.
Fu Heng, who was thinking like this, went to the inn where Ye Zhen was with some gifts after a few days.
Because of the renovation of the new residence, the inn has now been taken over by Xie Yunshu, and there is no one else except for their family.
Fu Heng inquired, and then walked straight to the place where Xie Yunshu and Ye Zhen were.
But before he could enter, he heard the sound of the two talking.
Out of politeness, Fu Heng did not go in immediately.
I just waited at the door for a while, but I didn't want to hear the sound of the two people talking inside.
"Recently, I have really run a lot of places, but the income of this sugarcane is too small, if this is the case, I am afraid it will cause big trouble, now the tools are ready, but the main raw materials are missing."
Ye Zhen was melancholy in his heart, and his expression revealed a little helplessness.
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while, and I've arranged someone for the Barbarian County."
Xie Yunshu saw that Ye Zhen was so angry and anxious, and poured a cup of tea.
Ye Zhen just glanced at the tea, but he didn't drink it, but said helplessly.
"Yunshu, in a few days, it will be open for business, and the small materials made now can't last long at all, and those orders are too much."
Xie Yunshu said something later, Fu Heng didn't hear it, but he knew that this time it was not enough sugarcane raw materials.
Thinking of this, Fu Heng returned to the Fu Mansion as quickly as possible, intending to report these things to Fu Ru'an.
"What you say is true?"
Fu Ru'an frowned, as if he hadn't thought of this.
"That's right, I heard what Mrs. Xie said with my own ears, I'm afraid that sugarcane raw materials are not easy to obtain."
Fu Heng opened his mouth in one hundred and fifty ten.
"This matter is related to the sugar business, you go and invite the Xie family and his wife to the Fu Mansion."
Fu Ru'an commanded, with some urgency in his voice.
Fu Heng knew that his young master should want to solve these problems, so he nodded hurriedly.
On the second day, the Xie family and his wife came to the Fu house.
Fu Ru'an knew that this matter was urgent, and he didn't talk to them, so he asked directly.
"Now that the sugar workshop is ready, why is this sugar not in circulation, I don't know what happened to the two of you who need help."
Ye Zhen was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect Fu Ru'an to be
will know what worries the two of them most.
Xie Yunshu was also stunned, and then spoke.
"There is indeed one thing that needs to trouble Young Master Fu."
