Ten sets of tools, along with cauldrons for boiling, were transported to Liang Xiao's workshop.

Liang Xiao went to the nearest market to buy tens of thousands of catties of firewood.

Together with tens of thousands of catties of sugar cane, the central square of this workshop is almost full of firewood and sugar cane.

Seeing Liang Xiao spending so much, even the guards couldn't stand it anymore, and told the workers: "Don't steal food!" ”

Liang Xiao originally invited them to eat sugarcane, but they were from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and had a very high level of professionalism, so they declined Liang Xiao's kindness.

And how many losers Liang Xiao has had in the past two years, they have only heard of it before, but now they really understand it.

Tens of thousands of catties of sugarcane, isn't that a few hundred taels of silver!

The sugar water pressed from sugarcane will eventually be made into "stone honey", and a pound of refined stone honey costs 200 yuan, which is specially supplied to dignitaries.

Even so, the stone honey is only a small profit but quick turnover, and the inferior stone honey is even a loss-making one, and ordinary people do not do this kind of business.

Liang Xiao bought tens of thousands of catties of sugarcane at a time, you can imagine what the result is!

The guards cast sympathetic glances at Liang Xiao.

In their opinion, Liang Xiao is a loser, and the salary he gives them is sufficient, and he has a meal of meat soup every day, which is a rare good boss.

"Why doesn't Xue'er eat it?"

Liang Xiao took a washed peeled sugarcane and handed it to Jiang Fuxue.

Jiang Fuxue shook her head: "Xue'er doesn't eat, wait for my brother to make money, and then let go of eating!" ”

Liang Xiao understood Jiang Fuxue's mood, just smiled and stroked her little head, and said, "Soon Xue'er will be able to let go and eat." ”

Jiang Fuxue looked comfortable, nodded obediently, and followed behind Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao and the workers entered the workshop and looked at the orderly placement of bottles and cans and various tools.

"Guys, I'm going to show you one by one."

……

"Liang Xiao, he, he really bought tens of thousands of catties of sugarcane??"

In the boudoir of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Mu Qinxue was taken aback when she heard about the situation.

"Yes, Miss, and this year's sugarcane doesn't seem to taste very good, so it stands to reason that we should reduce the price......" Yahuan replied.

Duan Yunsleeve on the side looked worried.

After Yahuan left, Mu Qinxue comforted: "Sister Yunsleeve doesn't have to worry, if he loses his capital, I will pay you back for you." ”

Duan Yunchong hurriedly shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is not that he is losing money, but that he is disappointing my imperial sister." You also know that my imperial sister likes people who can do practical things, poetry and songs, no matter how well they write, they can't drive away the barbarians. After I handed over his coping strategy to the imperial sister, the imperial sister actually wanted to see his ability to do practical things, but she couldn't bear to tell me her true thoughts, but I am her sister, and I know her best! ”

"I'll take care of Liang Xiao's business quietly, Your Majesty will know, right?" Mu Qinxue said depressedly.

Duan Yunsleeve looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "Sister Qin Xue doesn't know, in fact, since Liang Xiao, the son of the Marquis of Lanling, appeared in the capital, my imperial sister has been sending people to pay attention to his situation......

"Why?" Mu Qinxue looked curious.

Duan Yunchong explained: "I don't know, after he is a criminal minister, even if the Marquis of Lanling was really wronged back then, it would be enough to compensate him for thousands of taels and tens of thousands of taels, and send guards to pay attention to others for two years, I don't understand!" ”

"And how do you know?" Mu Qinxue asked again.

Duan Yunsleeve snorted: "I accidentally found out that the soft grinding hard bubble asked her!" The reason why I looked for him was to compensate the Liang family for the imperial court, and secondly, to know why my imperial sister sent someone to pay attention to him for two years. As a result, the reports my imperial sister received were all negative comments such as Liang Xiao's lack of learning and unskilled, thanks to me personally visiting Liang Xiao for her! ”

"What about the other sinners? There were many soldiers who were wronged with my father-in-law back then, and a few of them also had marquises! Mu Qinxue said curiously.

"Your father-in-law?"

Duan Yunsleeve looked at Mu Qinxue, whose face was not red and out of breath, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, and replied, "Yes, there are still a few, but their heirs are nowhere to be found." ”

"Oh, it may just be that Your Majesty wants to send someone to take care of these wronged soldiers." Mu Qinxue suddenly realized, and said, "Back to the point, the people in the workshop told me that they couldn't understand what Liang Xiao's utensils were going to be used for, they only knew that there was a sugar cart to squeeze juice!" ”

Duan Yunsleeve's eyes rolled and he smiled: "I'll find an excuse to take a look?" After all, he said he wanted to get rich with me? ”

Mu Qinxue happily agreed.

When he came to the Liang Mansion, Duan Yunchong pretended not to know, and did not go to the workshop, but just let Feiyun knock on the door of the Liang Mansion.

The guards immediately went to the workshop to inform, and Liang Xiao came half an hour later, his face full of excitement.

Duan Yunsleeve asked tentatively: "I heard that Liang Gongzi bought tens of thousands of catties of firewood, tens of thousands of catties of sugarcane, and hired dozens of workers, how is the progress of sugar production?" ”

"Come and see!"

Liang Xiao excitedly took Duan Yunsleeve's hand and walked straight to the door of the workshop.

Duan Yunsleeve glanced at his holding hand, his little face turned red, and he couldn't bear to shake it off, so he had to let it go and follow him to the workshop.

After entering the door, Duan Yunsleeve withdrew his hand, looked at the dense fine white sugar placed inside, and looked puzzled: "What is this?" ”

"The powdered form is called frosting, and the granular form is called white sugar."

Liang Xiao said as he took a bowl of sugar, put a spoon, handed it to Duan Yunsleeve, and said, "Taste it, don't eat too much, it will make you miserable." ”

Duan Yunsleeve took the small bowl, a little hesitant.

When she went out, she only ate at Mu Qinxue's place, even when she invited Liang Xiao, it was made with palace ingredients by the palace kitchen who was temporarily called!

"It's sweet." Liang Xiao reminded.

"Sweet?" Duan Yun's sleeves suddenly lit up, and despite Feiyun's dissuasion, he scooped up a spoon and put it in his mouth, and was stunned for a moment.

"Your Excellency!" Feiyun was in a hurry.

Duan Yunsleeve realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly put down the spoon, blushed, and said, "It's really sweet, it's very beautiful and delicious, Feiyun, do you want to try it......"

Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again and again: "The little ones don't dare." ”

Only then did the master and servant look at Liang Xiao's so-called white sugar and frosting.

The white sugar is somewhat crystal clear, and the frosting is a white powder.

"The same taste?" Duan Yunsleeve looked at Liang Xiao curiously, and when he saw him nodding, he still couldn't help but scoop up a spoonful and taste it.

Seems to be melt-in-your-mouth sweet?

This is the feeling of Duan Yunsleeve.

"It's almost better than honey, but stone honey and caramel are much better!" Duan Yunsleeve's face was full of amazement.

"That's nature, the color and quality of this white sugar are not comparable to stone honey." Liang Xiao said with a smile.

Duan Yunsleeve looked around and saw a few bags of sugar here, and said in surprise: "These are what you made from sugar cane?" That's great! How can you make it out of sugar cane! ”
