A memory jumped out, and Zhao Guoer remembered that she was not lightly ill two months ago, and Liu Rong's old pious woman still insisted on not asking for a doctor for the silver.

In desperation, my mother had to take myself to the Taoist temple to "pray for blessings", but in fact, she asked for help from a Taoist who knew a little bit about the art of Qihuang.

When she has the money, she doesn't forget that she has to go to the temple to add more sesame oil money.

Well, the money for this sesame oil can't be missing. After all, in his previous life, the Taoist master of the Taoist temple really helped himself and his mother to cure several diseases.

In addition to their mothers and daughters, there are still many poor people in the neighborhood who have been blessed by them and who cannot afford to see a doctor.

Such a real conscience Taoist temple and Taoist leader, when she has money to repay, how can she be stingy?

Thinking about Zhao Guo'er, she smiled bitterly again, she didn't have much money in her hand, and it was not a decimal amount to spend on it. It's really hard to make money and never be able to keep up with the speed at which you spend it.

……

"If you don't say it, I'll almost forget. But it's still a long way off. ”

Here, Zhao Guoer's fugue is far away. At that end, Tian Funiang reacted, and immediately grabbed the duck eggs in Zhao Guoer's hand, and stuffed them back to Lin Xiu with her own.

Tian Funiang smiled a little fake and said: "There is a second brother and two sisters-in-law, but we can't eat this duck egg for a while." We can only understand your heart. ”

"You can't eat something as good as duck eggs? The Taoist didn't say why? ”

Hearing that the two of them couldn't eat it, Lin Xiu didn't force it again after receiving the duck eggs this time. I was inevitably a little secretly happy in my heart, and I felt that I had made a profit if I had shown good and had not lost, so I asked with a smile.

"I said it was a collision. I also said a lot of things, and I didn't remember them in detail. ”

Tian Funiang prevaricated indiscriminately, and rejected Lin Xiu's duck eggs, but did not refuse Wan Caiyue's wild vegetable porridge.

After thanking Wan Caiyue, she and Zhao Guo'er hurriedly finished eating porridge, and there was the movement of the mule cart outside, and Tian Changxing heard the sound of Tian Yougen talking.

"You guys hurry up, I'll clean up this bowl of chopsticks."

Wan Caiyue hurriedly pushed Tian Funiang and Zhao Guo'er out of the stove room, her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and she specially raised her voice and said, "Originally, I was going to boil two more eggs for you." It's not the second sister-in-law, but she has duck eggs for you, who knows that you are taboo duck eggs. It's okay, I'll make up the eggs for you when you get back. ”

"Then thank you third sister-in-law."

didn't take Wan Caiyue too seriously, obviously she was fighting in the ring with Lin Xiu. Without any extra thoughts, Tian Funiang took the big back basket borrowed from the big house, pulled Zhao Guoer out of the door, and went straight to the door.

Don't go past Tian Yougen and the others, Tian Funiang and Zhao Guoer sat down firmly on the board cart pulled by the mule, and Tian Changxing shouted, "Sit down, go." ”

With a wave of the whip, the mule neighed and trotted, and the wind blew in his ears. Naturally, the speed was not comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage. But Zhao Guoer obviously felt that it was much faster than the ox cart, and compared to the donkey cart, it should be considered fast.

"Grandpa the patriarch, how long does it take to take this mule cart from our village to the county government?"

It was still dark, but there was a lantern hanging in front of the car, and the visibility was okay with a shake.

Zhao Guo'er was also in a good mood and asked curiously.

"It'll be there in an hour and a half."

Tian Changxing was obviously in a good mood, turned back with a smile, and pointed to a bamboo basket covered with a cloth in front of the two: "Prepared sugar." Open it and take a look. ”

"Why did you still have brown sugar and didn't bake it all into white sugar?"

Yi Yan lifted the cloth lid on the bamboo basket and found twelve eggs and two small clay pots with lids inside.

casually opened a crockpot, and Zhao Guoer found that there was a whole jar of diced brown sugar inside.

In the other crockpot is white sugar, only half a jar.

Thinking of the difference between the two, Zhao Guoer stroked her forehead. Then they sensitively found that the amount of sugar produced did not match the amount of sugar cane they brought back yesterday.

Somewhat puzzled, Zhao Guoer glanced at the two crockpots a few more times.

"I just wanted to see yesterday, how much of each sugar can be produced with the same syrup? I was afraid that the syrup would be too little, so I added some sugar cane. ”

Tian Changxing didn't look back, as if he saw Zhao Guo'er's doubts, and laughed while driving: "I thought, it's true that white sugar is rare and expensive, but after all, noble people are rare, and if it can't be sold at a high price for a while, then let's let it go first." Sugar is not easy to obtain, so we can't sell it cheaply. It's better to sell brown sugar first. That's easier to get, and it's a lot more profitable to sell. ”

"That's right, it's still the patriarch grandpa's thoughtfulness."

Zhao Guoer agreed with a smile: "How to sell this sugar depends on you, my mother and I are just waiting for the dividends." ”

Seeing that Tian Changxing is carrying sugar, he must be going to the seller today.

This Zhao Guoer didn't want to get involved.

She then smiled again: "If we don't go to the county government first, you will put me and my mother at the door of the grain store first, and let's make an appointment to meet at the gate of the county government when we go back." In addition to buying rice, flour and oil, my mother and I also had to buy a few more pieces of cloth and cotton to make clothes and bedding. ”

"Done. An hour should be enough for you to buy things. If you buy good things and don't take them, you can leave them in the shop first, and then go and pick them up when we come out of the county office. ”

Zhao Guoer's attitude of believing in herself and letting herself decide how to sell brown sugar and white sugar made Tian Changxing very useful.

He patiently reminded: "Don't forget, you have to go to the blacksmith again." In addition to buying iron pots, kitchen knives and scissors, don't forget to buy a few more animal clips. If there is no ready-made animal clip in the iron shop, it is difficult to say that there is no one in the grocery store. Go there and ask. ”

"Uh-huh."

"We remember."

Zhao Guoer and Tian Funiang both nodded and agreed. Then Tian Funiang asked Tian Changxing again: "Patriarch, have you tried this brown sugar?" How do I feel so much sweeter than what I sell outside? ”

As early as when the cloth lid on the basket was lifted, Tian Funiang also probed over to look at the brown sugar and white sugar in the two crockpots with Zhao Guoer.

She also reached out and pinched a small pinch of both candies in the palm of her hand, and raised it to her eyes to look closely. Then I tasted it, and I was afraid that I was mistaken, so I tasted it again and asked in surprise.

"That's right."

Tian Changxing nodded affirmatively, and his words revealed a bit of self-satisfaction: "We don't know what other people's brown sugar is used to boil, but it really doesn't taste as good as the brown sugar that our family boils with sugar cane, and it is sweeter." ”

“…… It's sweeter indeed. ”

Zhao Guo'er also tasted the sugar in the two jars separately when she heard this, and then couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Well, this is about the same sweetness as the sugar cane grown in your own space.

An instantaneous collision like lightning and flint also solved Zhao Guoer's previous doubts.

Isn't the wild sugar cane the same as the sugar cane in her space?
