Volume 1 Chapter 17
In the end, the three people collected the sugar and got a total of one catty and two taels.
About one-third of the loss, which is acceptable in Xu He's opinion, but these are great things in the eyes of the old Jiachang's father and son.
There is so much white sugar, and Xu Peng has never seen it even if he has seen it.
"Little crane, is this really sugar?" At this time, Xu Peng was in a dream, and he still couldn't believe it.
"Jane wine, pillow for the sac, more residual flavor than frosting, Brother Peng, such as fake! You taste it! Xu He was in a good mood and laughed.
Xu Peng carefully pinched up a little white sugar like sand and snow and put it in his mouth, and for a moment, the happiness brought by the sweetness to his body and mind instantly sublimated this guy who rarely eats sweet.
"This is the taste of sugar...... "Xu Peng, an Angzang man, his eyes were red.
The experiment was successful, and the three of them were busy until midnight before making all the remaining brown sugar into white sugar.
Looking at the amount of about five catties in the basin, the three guys with bright eyes were all so excited that they couldn't speak.
After a long time, Xu He found a bamboo tube, filled it with about a pound of white sugar for his own use, and handed over the rest to the old Jiachang father and son.
The old armor chief only came to his senses at this time, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, Xiaohe, this thing is too valuable." Or do you ...... it yourself?"
Xu He smiled and said: "Uncle, we are all a family, I didn't avoid your father and son when I made it, would I be afraid that you will take the sugar and never return?" ”
The old man became even more nervous when he heard this: "Ah, the old man forgot about this stubble, Brother He'er, don't worry, our father and son will rot in the stomach in this matter, if anyone uses your method to make a profit, he will cut off his children and grandchildren." ”
No matter what era, people attach great importance to the craftsmanship of the heirloom, and they have never shown outsiders, and the old armor chief is afraid that Xu He will think too much, so he swears a heavy oath!
Xu Peng also hurriedly followed his father to swear a poisonous oath.
Xu He sighed, and pulled the father and son to sit down by the stove: "Uncle, Brother Peng, we are all relatives and neighbors, the two families have always had a very good relationship, after my father died, thanks to you for taking care of my family!" ”
"Little skill, I wasn't going to hide it from you!"
"But!" Xu Jiachang's face was full of embarrassment, "We didn't do anything either!" ”
Xu He shook his head and said earnestly: "So far, my family still owes you the three coins of silver, although I study, but I also know that everyone is having a hard time, you can help our mother and son, it is really not easy, Xu He remembers it in his heart!" ”
"Say it again!" He continued: "I'm a scholar, and it's inconvenient to do business, and I just happened to see that Brother Peng had nothing to do when he was free, so I wanted to cooperate with the two families and do this business together!" ”
At this point, the old commander was so moved that he sighed again and again: "This, this, this ......"
But Xu Peng thought about it: "Xiaohe, since this is the case, we will do the things, you can study with peace of mind, and when the time comes, you can give our father and son a little leg money!" ”
Xu He shook his head: "No, we will split the account fifty-fifty!" ”
"What? It's not going to work, it's not going to work! The old commander and Xu Peng, father and son, waved their hands one after another.
Although the father and son refused to agree, Xu He still insisted, and finally, the two agreed, and discussed selling the white sugar separately in Hailing County first, and then using the money from the sale to buy back the brown sugar and charcoal, and then mass produce it at that time.
At that time, the little Hailing will definitely not be able to eat so much sugar, but fortunately, Yangzhou, Jinling, Nantong Prefecture, and Gaoyou Prefecture around Hailing are all rich places where rich businessmen gather, and the market is not worried.
This is also the reason why Xu He pulled the two fathers and sons into this business, how can he have time to take care of these trivial things?
Without a sincere and caring person, no matter how good the business is, it will not be able to carry out.
Waiting to send away the old Jiachang father and son, he pushed the door and went out, and the willow tops on the moon.
Xu He suddenly thought of the county test tomorrow.
Hurriedly ate a few bites, then fell asleep and rested.
The next day, Xu He and Chu Yuan came to the county office early.
The face is more casual, and Li County's order is arranged in the back hall of the county ya.
In this exam, the test is not a ranking, but just to see if there are any people who are indiscriminate, and most of the time the county order will not change the results of the previous three rounds of exams.
The back hall of the county ya, although there is a tradition of not repairing the government for officials, the courtyard houses are very dilapidated, but the small courtyard covers a wide area.
Rockery strange stones, a pool of clear water, is cute.
Just when Xu He and a group of candidates were standing under the eaves of the porch and admiring the private garden of Zhixian, suddenly Li Xianling hurriedly walked out.
When everyone saw that his face was pale, their hearts all chuckled.
Li Xian Ling first looked around, and then his eyes fell on Xu He.
He beckoned to Xu He.
Xu He didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Teacher! ”
Li Xianling nodded and explained: "Don't leave after the exam for a while, go to the second hall, I have something to ask you!" ”
Hearing that Li Xianling summoned Xu He alone for questioning, all the people around him cast envious glances at him.
Xu He hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yes!" ”
Li Xianling nodded, and then turned to look at the candidates: "Today's face-to-face recovery, you will wait...... Well! Try to make a poem with the theme of "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet"! ”
It is also common for people to compose poems in person, and everyone is not surprised, and they all think hard for a while.
Xu He thought about it for a long time, but there was no good sentence, the county tried to face up, and he was scheduled to be the head of the case, if he couldn't make a poem for a while, it would not only be his own face, but also the county order would not look good!
Thinking of this, he was a little anxious.
At this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at the pool under the garden rockery, and suddenly felt something in his heart.
Li County Ling has been observing the head of the case in his county trial.
At the beginning, Xu He's brows frowned slightly, and his heart was also tight, at this critical time, if he can't make poems, or if he doesn't write poems well, where will his face go?
But in the next second, Xu He's face showed excitement, and Li Xianling also became happy.
"Even if it's my own son, I've never been so worried!"
At this moment, Xu He bowed and saluted: "Teacher, I have obtained the poem, please try it!" ”
The people around all looked up at Xu He with a look of surprise.
In just a few moments, the poem was made?
Li Xianling nodded and motioned for Xu He to start.
"Try to make Su Shi and Hui Chong's poem "Spring River Xiaojing", three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river"
"Duck head new plumbing, warm duck prophet,
Looking for spring on the river, when the column is stacked.
Pingyin floats early, and the flower letter contest is late,
The green shampoo is dipped in the heart, and the sun follows the rudder tail play.
Sleeping with chicks, the side wings are drying (sound: leaving the teacher, the fluff on the body of the little waterfowl).
Across the pu reed bamboo shoots, cross-bridge willow empty silk.
The furnace is divided into knots, and the foil is displayed in the glass.
If you can say it skillfully, the chicken window will be in the same period. ”
After reciting a poem, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, looking at each other, and they didn't know what Xu He's poem was.
I heard every word in it, but I didn't seem to understand every word.
Only Li Xianling smiled with a hint of approval and nodded again and again.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the back hall, and said loudly: "Good poetry, good poetry!" ”
