"What's this?" Cao Ding was stunned.

"Rock candy."

"Rock candy?"

Xiao Zhang snorted.

During the three days he was in the palace, he used the sucrose at home to refine these rock sugars easily through the heating and refining method.

The main reason is that the technology in this era is too backward, otherwise, it can be refined and white.

"I'm going to sell these as spices, and see how much this thing is worth."

Cao Ding hissed, took a piece of rock candy and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's so sweet."

As soon as the rock candy was in his mouth, Cao Ding's eyes were straight in shock.

"Idiot, where did you get this thing, it tastes so much better than caramel candy."

Xiao Zhang smiled: "Of course I did it myself." You say, can this thing be sold for money? ”

"Yes, I can't guarantee anything else. As far as the princes and nobles in Beijing City have money, and for this small bag, you can sell it for a hundred taels of silver. ”

Xiao Zhang paused for a moment: "One hundred taels of silver?" Wouldn't it be too high? ”

Grandma's, a hundred taels. This is ancient times, and the purchasing power of ancient times goes without saying. This package of rock candy is a total of seven or eight pieces. Even if you count the raw material cane sugar, the cost of this thing does not exceed three cents of silver.

It's a hundredfold in one click, I'm not dreaming.

"I don't read much, don't lie to me."

"Why am I lying to you, how many do you have?"

"I still have four or five bags at home."

"When you go to Guozi School tomorrow, you take it with you, and I can sell it all to you on the spot, believe it or not?"

Xiao Zhang was a little itchy in his heart: "Don't be tomorrow, you can go home with me now." I'll give it all to you. ”

"No, I haven't eaten yet."

Xiao Zhang didn't care about this, pulled Cao Ding and stood up: "What to eat, this thing is the same as pig food." Go, come home with me, and I'll make you something to eat. ”

"You can pull it down, what you make is not as good as pig food."

The two of them went out with their mouths tied, and when they left, Xiao Zhang hadn't forgotten to take the money on the table with him.

came all the way to the palace and saw Xiao Zhang coming back, and the subordinates hurriedly caught him.

"Shizi, you're back."

"Well, is the old man at home?"

"Lord Wang, he went out to run errands."

Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't at home.

Otherwise, this old man knows what he is learning in Guozi today, and he has to smoke himself.

"Follow me."

Xiao Zhang said and led Cao Ding all the way to his bedroom.

"Idiot, your teacup is pretty chic."

Cao Ding saw the water cup that Xiao Zhang used to make a beaker on the table, and immediately opened his mouth to make fun of it.

Xiao Zhang was not in the mood to quarrel with Cao Ding at this time, but went to the pillow and turned out a few packets of rock candy and handed them to Cao Ding.

"Well, it's all here."

Cao Ding picked one up and looked at the window, as if admiring a gem.

"Well, how much can these sell for?"

"There should be about a thousand taels."

"If you can sell it, I'll give you half of it."

Cao Ding immediately returned the rock candy to Xiao Zhang: "Then I won't sell it." ”

Xiao Zhang was anxious: "Isn't it that you have changed your hexagram, you are too little?" ”

Cao Ding looked at Xiao Zhang resentfully: "Idiot, am I, Cao Ding, such a person in your heart?" If I'm greedy for money, I'll tell you that these things are worthless, and then I'll sell them myself. It all went into my pocket. ”

"Uh, then you just said..."

Cao Ding sighed and patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder with his hand: "Idiot, you are different from me." In addition to the monthly money my father gave me every month, my eldest brother also gave me some occasionally. You've managed to come up with such a good thing, how can I divide your money again. ”

Xiao Zhang was moved by Cao Ding's words.

Good man, yes.

One thousand taels was not a small amount in ancient times, but it was enough for an ordinary family for thirty or fifty years.

Even if it is half a cent, it is a lot, such a large amount of money, Cao Ding actually said that he didn't want it. This friendship is closer than brothers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

After a short period of emotion, Xiao Zhang returned to normal and looked at Cao Ding with a serious expression: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't give it to you." The brothers said that this was a bit of an outrage. In this way, when my business starts, how about counting your 30% shares? ”

Cao Ding was a little embarrassed: "This is not good. ”

"That's it, if it's a brother, don't talk about anything else. Otherwise, I'll find someone else to sell it for me. ”

"Don't don't, it's me, it's me."

When he said these words, Cao Ding sighed in his heart.

I don't know how many good things these rock candy have gotten from the nerds, and I don't think there are many.

If such a baby asks others to help, it will be difficult to keep him from having different intentions.

As a brother, if I don't stand up at this time, how can anyone help the nerd?

Thinking like this, Cao Ding agreed to come down.

"Brother, in the near future, when Jing Cheng mentions the two of us, he will think of four words."

Cao Ding asked weakly: "Don't learn and don't have skills?" ”

"Get out, it's a rich country."

After speaking, Xiao Zhang picked up a rock candy, and his face was full of essence.

…

After staying in the Xiangdong Palace, Cao Ding left with rock candy, and left a bold statement when he left, saying that he would return to his life with a thousand taels of silver early tomorrow morning.

After Cao Ding left, Xiao Zhang sat in his bedroom and smiled.

He seemed to have seen the silver beckoning to him.

At all times, money is the most important thing.

Many of his ideas to change the world now suffer from lack of money to put into action.

"In addition to rock candy, you can also try to make other spices. Well, you can also do it if you drink alcohol, which is a huge profit. Since you want to transform, let's start with eating and drinking. Otherwise, there is no motivation not. ”

Muttering in his mouth, Xiao Zhang found a piece of silk cloth, wrote and drew on it, and listed various chemical formulas.

In the palace hall, the king of Xiangdong returned home with a tired face.

The housekeeper Hu San immediately poured a strong cup of tea.

"Did the nerd come back?"

"Back to my lord, it has been more than two hours since His Royal Highness the Prince came back."

"Go, call him."

"Master, what's wrong?"

It's okay not to ask, but this question, the king of Xiangdong will not be angry.

"Just now, His Majesty summoned me to the palace, guess why? This little bastard beat Lu Boming in Guozixue. I'm. I can't quench the fire without smoking him. Go and call him. ”

The housekeeper trembled when he heard this, and his heart was broken, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was in trouble again.

He said yes, but his feet were grinding.

Usually, Xiao Zhang doesn't have much of a fight with them, and the family likes Xiao Zhang.

Now that Xiao Zhang is going to be beaten, can the housekeeper be happy?

Just when the housekeeper hesitated in place, the king of Xiangdong stood up impatiently: "Forget it, I'll go by myself." Can't wait. ”

While speaking, King Xiangdong walked towards Xiao Zhang's bedroom in the backyard, and as he went, he pulled his belt outwards with his hand.

Seeing this, the housekeeper sighed, stomped his feet, and hurriedly chased after him.
