Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sugar Only

Shen Ningning nodded.

She invited the old village chief into the house to speak.

The rest of the villagers gathered at the door and watched Shen Ningning and the old village chief sitting on the Taishi chair left and right.

The little guy's back is straight, his round little face is smiling, and there are black wolf kings lying at his feet, with a unique momentum.

Everyone felt that the old village chief paid more and more attention to Shen Ningning.

"Ning Ning, you have also seen the loquat trees in the village, they are growing very well, I believe that in two or three months, they will definitely be able to bear the first batch of fruits."

"All rely on your blessings, so that everyone's life can become more and more hopeful."

"It's just that the weather is too hot now, and according to the drought situation in previous years, it will be at least two months hot before autumn, and everyone will have to spend more places on weekdays."

"So, the big guy discussed it, we want to cut some unripe fruits and boil them into loquat candy first, which is also the old business of our village."

"Then take it to the city and sell it, and earn some money for living, you see, do you want your family together?"

The little guy blinked, a little confused.

Loquat sugar, is it expensive?

Her voice was glutinous: "Grandpa the village chief, how much money can you make just selling sugar?" ”

The little guy really doesn't understand.

When the old village chief heard this, he laughed with the villagers outside the house.

"Look at me, I forgot, you still don't understand." The old village chief felt that Shen Ningning was smart and assertive.

So I subconsciously discussed this matter with her, but Shen Ningning was a child in the end, and this matter should be asked to Grandma Qin.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Ning Ning, how expensive sugar is!" One or two loquat candy can be sold for twenty taels! ”

So much!?

Shen Ningning's eyes widened in surprise.

Afraid that she didn't understand, Aunt Liu said patiently: "Think about it, on weekdays, is it easy for you to eat sugar?" Isn't that kind of sweet thing very expensive? ”

The little guy's face was slightly bulging, silently recalling.

Is it expensive? She didn't know.

There was a pile of osmanthus nectar in the fairyland, and she moved it out one by one.

Grandma would make her delicious sugar water.

Including the sour plum soup cooked earlier, brown sugar is also put in it.

This thing is in the kitchen hall of Wonderland, in an inconspicuous corner.

So Shen Ningning naturally didn't pay attention to it.

How do you think that sugar is still a precious product?

The little guy said glutinously, "Well, there are few dim sum shops in the city, and the things sold are expensive." ”

Aunt Liu smiled: "Isn't this it!" Our loquat candy can be used to melt when stir-frying, and it can also be used in medicine, hanging soup, and it has many uses! ”

Is it to use fruit to refine sugar?

Shen Ningning suddenly figured it out.

No wonder Deng Fugui secretly gave her loquat candy to eat, and looked at her with expectant eyes.

It turns out that this thing is very expensive!

Even if it is the village chief's house, there are only a few, and they are all saved.

The little one also remembered.

Last year, Qin Fangmei came back from Du Yuanwai's house and told Shen Ningning very proudly that Du Yuanwai licked a mouthful of white sugar for her.

Qin Fangmei described the sweet taste vividly.

also emphasized: "This is something that only the nobles in the palace can afford!" ”

At that time, Shen Ningning didn't take it seriously.

If you want to talk about white sugar, in her fairyland, it is all in the jar with pickles, and it will overflow soon.

I didn't expect it to be so precious.

Aunt Liu is still introducing: "Ning Ning, you are young, you don't understand, in our Cangyun country, the most expensive are white sugar and brown sugar, which can only be used by the nobles of the prince and grandson and the important ministers of the court." ”

"Most of our people use loquat sugar, cinnamon honey, and more expensive, it is caramel sugar, cane honey, and brown sugar."

Most of those dim sum shops use honey boiled from osmanthus flowers, and brown sugar is used in better shops.

Therefore, before the drought, Xiangyun Village had been making a fortune by selling loquat candy.

Shen Ningning calculated an account in his heart.

She thought for a while and said, "Grandpa the village chief, look at the fruits on my tree, most of them are a little yellow, and they should be sweeter." ”

"If I agree that you will all take it all to boil sugar, how much silver shall I divide in the end?"

The villagers were shocked, and the old village chief was also a little incredulous.

"Ning Ning, do you want to use it all to refine sugar? That's not appropriate, it's best to leave a batch of fruit, and when it's ripe, you can make more sugar. ”

Of course Shen Ningning knew this truth.

But there are too many places where she needs to use silver now.

Fairyland needs to eat jade, and jade is so expensive.

On Grandpa Langzhong's side, it was not good for her to take out too many medicinal materials at once, otherwise her grandmother would attract the covetousness of bad people.

Therefore, she can grow a lot of loquat in her fairyland, but she doesn't care about the little fruit in this field.

It's just that she hasn't mastered the technology of refining sugar, so she still has to rely on the people of Xiangyun Village.

The little one's round eyes were dark, and he said firmly, "I want to earn more money." ”

The old village chief was silent for a long time, chewing on the tea stalk in his mouth.

He also knew that although Grandma Qin and Shen Ningning's ancestors and grandchildren lived in the mountains and did not have to worry about eating and drinking, Shen Ningning was now studying in a private school, and there were many places to use silver!

It's normal for the little guy to think so.

So, the old village chief said: "You are a junior, and grandpa can't take advantage of you." ”

"Our big guy originally agreed that the family would be red, and if you give more, we will give you thirty percent, do you think it is feasible?"

Shen Ningning thought about it and nodded decisively: "Okay!" ”

But she must have rules for everything she does.

"Grandpa the village chief, let's make a deed."

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ning Ning, can grandpa still pit you?" ”

The little guy said sweetly: "Grandma said, all agreements are more secure when they are stamped on the paper." ”

"Not only for me, but also for the village chief's grandfather and the uncles in the village."

"Otherwise, what if one day I don't produce so much fruit, and I still want to get 30% of the income?"

These words made the villagers speechless, and even the old village chief paused.

That's right.

Shen Ningning is now backed by the crown prince, if he really fights because of any contradiction in the future, it is really difficult to say that there is no contract.

Besides, after her reminder, everyone reacted.

What I'm most afraid of is not Shen Ningning's repentance, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, what if the rest of the villagers tear their faces in the end?

The deed is the guarantee for everyone.

Liu's sister-in-law immediately said: "Village chief, we haven't figured it out yet, let's make a deed, let's settle this big happy event!" ”

The old village chief stroked his beard with a smile: "Okay! Auspicious, you go and prepare pen and paper. ”

In black and white, the old village chief personally wrote it, and Shen Ningning tilted his little head next to him to supervise and inspect.

When the contract is fine, the two of them sign and draw the pledge, and the representatives of the rest of the villagers come forward to press their fingerprints.

The contract was completed, and every family had a smile on their faces.

The old village chief was the happiest, and his cheeks were rosy with a smile.

He probably thought of the time when Xiangyun Village sold loquat candy, and it was called a prosperous life.

"Quick, go to the entrance of the village and set off a string of firecrackers, Aunt Liu, you take a few daughters-in-law to prepare a big pot of rice, Ning Ning, you take Grandma Qin next, let's celebrate and have a good time!"

Shen Ningning nodded suddenly: "Okay!" ”

She got on the back of the Black Wolf King and was about to go up the mountain to find her grandmother.

Suddenly, Uncle Liu's son limped over and shouted in an exclamatory tone-

"Oh no! The mad scholar fell into the well! ”
