Chapter Ninety-Seven: Together (Second Watch)

Kyoto's famous teahouse, by the elegant seat by the window on the second floor of the Xianming Pavilion, the two girls are talking happily.

"Jinyue, what is this? You asked me to come to the teahouse, why do you still bring your own things, is it a snack? Lord Minghua looked at Xiao Jinyue's big food box on the tea table with a curious expression.

"It's not a snack." Xiao Jinyue smiled and stretched out her hand to open the food box layer by layer and put it in front of Lord Minghua.

"Hey, it's cane sugar, right?"

Lord Minghua saw the neatly placed things on the first layer of the food box, and recognized that it was her mother's favorite cane sugar, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

These sucrose are neatly placed, consistent in shape and size, uniform in color, and almost no impurities are visible, and you can know that the quality is good at a glance.

But she didn't know what was in the next few layers of food boxes that she opened.

Lord Minghua couldn't help but bow his head curiously, and looked at it carefully. These things may seem to have different shapes, but they all smell sweet.

Xiao Jinyue looked at her with a curious face, and couldn't help but explain to her with a smile.

"Yes, that's cane sugar, but I like to call it brown sugar. This is made by pressing the juice out of the sugar cane and then boiling and filtering it repeatedly. Brown sugar is warm, which can not only replenish blood but also invigorate blood, and women take it when they have menstruation, and it also has the effect of warming the uterus.

This darker color is brown sugar, which is made at a higher temperature than brown sugar, which takes longer to boil and is darker in color.

Both kinds of sugars can promote the discharge of cold qi in the body, and have the symptoms of nourishing qi and blood, and can make qi and blood deficiency.

And this white frost-like can be called frost sugar.

There are also these two irregularly shaped ones, both of which are rock sugar.

The uniform white color is white rock sugar, and the yellow color is yellow rock sugar.

Both kinds of sugars are flat, high purity, translucent, shiny, pure and sweet texture, no peculiar smell, no impurities.

Rock sugar and frosted sugar, except for the difference in shape and taste, the sugar content is the same.

Whether it is rock sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar, or frosted sugar, they are all made from sucrose, and each has its own good.

However, people suffering from thirst-quenching disease should try to eat as little or no sugar as possible. ”

Xiao Jinyue introduced all these kinds of sugar in one go, and her mouth was dry, and she quickly picked up the teacup and drank it.

Lord Minghua looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Jinyue, where did you get so much sugar, I haven't heard of it." Also, how do you know so much? ”

Xiao Jinyue quenched her thirst, and after putting down the teacup, she said with a smile, "Because these sugars are all boiled in the workshop." ”

Hearing that these sugars were all made by Xiao Jinyue, Lord Minghua was even more amazed.

Xiao Jinyue wanted to open a sugar shop, but there was no supply, and after accidentally seeing the production method of these sugars in the book, he tried to tell the lord of Minghua what he had done.

I gave her all kinds of sugar in the food box and tasted it, and saw that the county lord of Minghua was also sweet, so he said, "County lord, I want to invite you to open a sugar shop together, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hearing this, Lord Minghua's eyes lit up even more.

From childhood to adulthood, not only did her father and mother grow up holding her in the palm of her hand, but even her eldest brother Nan'an Shizi also doted on her very much.

She's grown so big, and she's never opened a store to take care of business.

She and her mother both like sweets, but due to the shortage of cane sugar, they often can't buy it in the house.

Xiao Jinyue can refine so many kinds of sugar, if they partner to open a sugar shop together, doesn't it mean that they will not be short of sugar in the future?

Xiao Jinyue's proposal made her very excited.

However, after thinking about it, Lord Minghua still shook his head and refused, "Jinyue, to be honest, I am very moved by your proposal. I can't agree with that, though. ”

Lord Minghua still had doubts in his heart, "Jinyue, you see, you know how to make sugar, you also have a workshop, you can start selling sugar to make money now." And I, I don't know anything, you really don't need to pull me to open a store together. ”

After Xiao Jinyue heard what she said, she said with a smile, "Frankly speaking, I pulled you together to do this business because I wanted to take advantage of the reputation of your Nan'an Palace. ”

"As you know, sucrose is a precious item and has always been in demand. The largest Taishenglong firm in Beijing, his family's cane sugar, except for paying tribute to the palace, the rest is not enough to sell.

Other large and small shops, sugar shops and vendors have even less sugar.

Now the sugar I have made is not only of better quality than the tribute to the palace, but also more abundant than that of the merchants.

On top of that, the price is lower than the existing selling price.

At present, these sugar production methods are only known to me, which is a unique business.

When these sugars start to be on the market, with my family's low status, I can't keep the sugar method in my hand at all.

Therefore, I want to pull you together to open a sugar shop, the purpose is to use the reputation of your Nan'an Royal Mansion to keep the sugar making method in your hand. ”

Among friends, it is important to be honest. Although she didn't have much contact with the county lord of Minghua, since she decided to take the county lord of Minghua as a friend, she didn't want to hide her.

And it's not something that can be hidden. With the status of King Nan'an and Princess Nan'an, as long as you think about it a little, you will know what her purpose is to open a store with Lord Minghua.

Rather than making them feel that she was taking advantage of Lord Minghua, it was better for her to be honest from the beginning.

It can be seen that Lord Minghua was very surprised by her honesty.

But she still wanted to refuse.

said to Xiao Jinyue, the sugar store was five or five points with her, and she even disagreed.

She felt that since Xiao Jinyue treated her as a friend and did not hide it from herself, she could not take advantage of her friend.

She didn't do anything, how could she take fifty percent, what was the difference between that and her robbing Xiao Jinyue's money.

Minghua County also knew that with the status of Xiao Jinyue's family, he would definitely not be able to keep the sugar method in his hand. Seeing that Xiao Jinyue sincerely wanted to partner with her to open a store, Lord Minghua hesitated, but finally nodded and agreed.

However, she didn't agree to five or five points, but planned to spend 10,000 taels of silver to open a store with Xiao Jinyue, but it only accounted for half of the red.

In the heart of the county lord of Minghua, even if it is half of it, she takes advantage of it.

Judging from the shortage of sucrose, this is equivalent to Xiao Jinyue sending her money.

However, half of the county lord of Minghua proposed that Xiao Jinyue disagree.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally reached a seven-point agreement.

Xiao Jinyue seven, the third lord of Minghua County.

The two were discussing enthusiastically, and they didn't notice that two girls dressed in wealth happened to come to the private room next to them.

Thinking that she could also start making money in the future, Lord Minghua was happy in his heart, and said to Xiao Jinyue excitedly, "Jinyue, didn't you say that the store hasn't been bought yet, let's go, I'll pick it up with you." ”

Xiao Jinyue smiled, "Don't worry, we've been out for a long time, we're already hungry, let's eat something first and then go." ”

Lord Minghua knew that he was in a hurry, so he smiled embarrassedly, so he had to eat first according to his patience.

On the other side, the girl in the goose yellow dress heard the familiar voice, her eyes rolled, she stretched out her hand to call the little maid guarding the door, and commanded in a low voice.
