Chapter 30: Evenly divided

Lin'er couldn't hold back a smile and praised: "Yes, yes, as long as my young lady doesn't use force, she is the most gentle and well-behaved girl in the world!" ”

Mu Qinxue raised her eyebrows, Lin'er's words obviously made her very useful.

Lin'er said again: "It's just that the slave doesn't understand, with Miss's conditions, and confess his heart to him, he will definitely accept it, why should Miss ......"

Mu Qinxue said proudly: "You don't understand this, the best hunter should appear in front of the target in the form of prey~"

Lin'er was stunned.

Mu Qinxue thought for a while and said, "Actually, my grandfather instructed me to do this!" Not only do I have to pretend to be weak, but I also have to please his sister Cher, who is not related by blood, and I am foolproof! ”

"It's worthy of an old lady......" Lin'er exclaimed.

Mu Qinxue looked at the flame of the candle on the table and muttered to herself: "Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao, wait for the old lady to trick you, get to know each other, you are my husband, if you don't know each other, you are the lady of the village~"

The more Lin'er listened, the more frightened she became.

In the Liang Mansion, Jiang Fuxue stayed by Liang Xiao's side, watching Liang Xiao draw some strange drawings.

"Cher, you're not sleeping yet?" Liang Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Xue'er accompanies her brother and is not sleepy." Jiang Fuxue responded obediently, but her eyes did not leave Liang Xiao's drawings, and her eyes were full of doubts.

"Xue'er is only ten years old, she is still growing her body, she needs enough sleep, and she can't stay up late." Liang Xiao sighed.

Jiang Fuxue hurriedly changed the topic.

"Brother, Xue'er heard that people who read have two dreams, in addition to the title of the gold list, there is also red sleeves to add fragrance."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Red sleeves add fragrance, and beauties read with you?" That's what Xue'er's future sister-in-law does, you are still a child, you have to study hard, don't think about these things. ”

"Wow~ Xue'er misunderstood! Cher will go to sleep and not let her brother worry......"

Jiang Fuxue looked well-behaved and took her grandmother back to her room.

"Grandma, look at my performance just now, compared to that Miss Mu, who looks more well-behaved!" Jiang Fuxue said proudly.

"Evenly divided......" Grandma said smugly.

"Can you be equal to the well-behaved me? Then she is indeed worthy of my brother, I will help my brother trick her through the door~" Jiang Fuxue snorted.

Early the next morning, the vendors guarding the market looked at Liang Xiao's empty stalls and were dumbfounded.

"What do you say? White sugar is not sold today?? ”

"Our boss said that it will not be available today and tomorrow, but it will be available after tomorrow." The stall owner nodded.

"The day after tomorrow!"

The vendors looked at each other, and their bowels were repentant.

Originally, they just waited and saw if the sugar was worth the price of 400 yuan per catty.

As a result, it was out of stock!

This meant that several other large pastry shops did not have the opportunity to develop new pastries, nor did they have the opportunity to use white sugar to supply the dignitaries.

The sweetness of caramel is not obvious, and the color of stone honey is indescribable, so it is not suitable for pastries.

Honey is ridiculously expensive, and when the harvest fails, it is even a tribute to the court!

Only white sugar, which was born out of nowhere, perfectly solves almost all the problems faced by pastries.

The sweetness is enough, the taste is colorless and clean, and it is definitely good and cheap compared to honey!

It's such a white sugar, out of stock......

When the vendors came to their senses, they roared at their men.

"How the hell is this thing made! Hurry up and study it for Lao Tzu! ”

On this day, the output of white sugar reached 1,200 catties, which was already the limit of reasonable work for fifty workers.

But Liang Xiao did not intend to let go of this excellent opportunity to make a fortune.

"Although the Dingguo Marquis Mansion behaves decently, only if I rely on sugar to play a first-mover advantage and occupy the market, can I gain a foothold in the sugar industry."

With this thought, Liang Xiao took people to the back and forth dart bureau and the refugee camp.

The Liang Mansion had increased the number of guards to fifty, and they were dedicated to guarding the workers and preventing them from running around and leaking secrets.

The number of refugee families has also been expanded to 100, and each family has 100 workers working for one person.

Liang Xiao went to Bai He and ordered five compounds near his home, totaling five hundred taels, which were specially used to house workers and guards.

The second group of workers, like the first batch, learned that they could not only eat enough but also get paid, and they were simply grateful to Liang Xiao, and they did not hesitate to draw a pledge in the face of the contract of personal freedom in exchange for job opportunities, and even promised that each family would supervise each other to reduce Liang Xiao's pressure.

Liang Xiao has become accustomed to the customs of Da Zhou, no longer making a fuss, but giving enough treatment, and selected a person who can speak well from each process in the first batch of workers, and is responsible for bringing new workers to understand the production process.

Because of Liang Xiao's arrangement of meat, these guards, who were originally worried about his bankruptcy, were also impressed by Liang Xiao, and even reduced the number of times they returned to the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion to report.

Liang Xiao was not dissatisfied with this, after all, this was the terms of the contract between the two parties, and the guards had the right to repay their masters.

All Liang Xiao needs is to ensure that the workers do not leak secrets, and it is impossible for the guards to leak secrets if they do not participate in the specific process of sugar production.

"Tell Liang Xiao that our Gongsun family will bid 500 wen per catty to buy 1,000 catties of white sugar in the same condition as before!"

In the bazaar, a group of wealthy merchants shouted in front of the stall that Liang Xiao had arranged for someone to take care of, and slapped a stack of silver tickets on the stall owner's table.

"Even the Bashu Gongsun family can't sit still, want to try it?" The surrounding vendors were shocked.

The Gongsun family is a well-known speculative merchant in the capital.

For a while, the price of white sugar unexpectedly rose again.

After consultation, the vendors reached a consensus: "Four hundred and fifty pounds of sugar, we can accept it!" ”

The businessmen of the Gongsun family, who had a lot of money in their pockets on weekdays, returned to the house with a puffy face, but they looked depressed.

"Grandma Jiang brought the news over there, if you don't buy some sugar, Miss is going to get angry, and we won't be able to eat and go around! This damn Dingguo Marquis Mansion and Duanmu family dare to rob the goods of our Bashu giant merchants! ”

Only Liang Xiao runs at home and in the workshop every day, and he is very busy.

In the imperial study, Empress Duan Yunyi looked at the white pastries that Duan Yunsleeve fed to her mouth, her throat moved, and she took a bite gently.

"The taste is really good, and with a little improvement, it may be used as a court pastry in the future."

Duan Yunsleeve had already blossomed with joy and was full of energy.

"Sister~ You believe in your sister's vision more now!"

Seeing that his sister was coquettish again, Duan Yunyi's eyes were full of love, and he couldn't help pinching her little face and sighing.

"Sister has always believed in you, but ......"

Duan Yunsleeve said in frustration: "Sister always seems to be dissatisfied with him? But he has already proven himself to be a qualified imperial merchant! ”

Duan Yunyi explained: "Of course my sister will promise you about the matter of the imperial businessman. It's just that you forget that your acquaintance with him stems from his talent. You are impressed by his talent and think that there will definitely be a poet immortal in the future Great Zhou. But now, he is just a businessman, and with such an identity, how can he talk about Shixian......"
