Chapter 40: Sugar Production

The slimming boss saw Zhang Luo come in with the child.

found that Zhang Luo was dressed plainly.

But tall in stature.

A smile greeted him.

"This Lang Jun, our store has the best powdered sugar in Fujian."

"And red powder, sugar pills."

"How many pounds do you want?"

Zhang Luo thought of the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The sugarcane industry in Fujian and Guangzhou is on the rise.

It slowly became the base of the country's sugar industry.

See what the various types look like on the wooden shelves.

Zhang Luojue didn't have much appetite.

But the two little babies on the side want to eat.

Zhang Luo thought about it for a moment.

I sensed a business opportunity.

He asked his boss:

"Can you sell hawthorn candy and white sugar?"

The shopkeeper heard Zhang Luo ask for hawthorn candy and white sugar.

felt that Zhang Luo must have an extraordinary family background.

Take out a small jar from the wooden shelf inside.

Opened the jar lightly and said:

"This is the best hawthorn candy made from Fuzhou hawthorn."

"Xiao Langjun, if you sell too much."

"I'll be cheaper, and I'll sell you 300 wen a catty."

Zhang Wangsheng and Zhang Xiaowu listened to the price.

I exhaled a cool breath.

Hawthorn candy is so expensive!

The method of making hawthorn into sugar has appeared in the Song Dynasty.

For example, rock sugar gourd is also made of hawthorn.

"Is there any sugar for sale?"

White sugar is refined sugar.

The sugar shop owner shook his head and said:

"The price of refined sugar is too high."

"Not many people in the county buy it."

"Xiao Langjun wants to buy refined sugar, you can go to Fuzhou Mansion to have a look."

White sugar was considered a luxury in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Luo remembers the French sugar making process.

It should have been slowly popularized in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as there are corresponding facilities.

It is not difficult to make brown sugar into white sugar.

In the past, Zhang Wangsheng and his uncle entered the county seat.

Almost always buy a small brown sugar pill and try it.

looked at the two living treasures and couldn't stop their saliva.

Zhang Luo plans to buy some.

Then he asked the boss:

"Boss, is there a place to make sugar in the county?"

Zhang Luo naturally didn't want to go to the sugar mill to buy sugar.

Just want to unlock the sugar making location for your system.

So that the sugar making skill can be unlocked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Luo suspiciously.

Said:

"In the west of the county, there is also a big sugar shop."

"But that one thinks very highly of itself and won't sell people alone."

The shopkeeper continued:

"If Xiao Langjun buys more, I still have some brown sugar from Luocheng."

"I can sell it to you at fifty percent."

Eighty percent of the goods from Luocheng were smuggled from which ghost market.

Zhang Luo sighed deeply in his heart.

The southeastern provinces are full of smuggling!

"You take it out and take a look at it first."

"It's so cheap, I'm afraid I'll spoil my family's body."

I saw the boss walk to the depths of the store.

Bring out a wooden box.

A brown sugar pill was taken out of it.

At first glance, it is no different from the local sugar pills in Fujian.

The boss waited for Zhang Luo to look at it for a while and said:

"Xiao Langjun is a horse to buy and eat by himself."

"Naturally, it's better to have local brown sugar pills."

"If you want to buy it, sell it."

"This Luocheng's black sugar pill is easy to use."

Luocheng, located in Vietnam.

In the Ming Dynasty, it should be called Cochin.

During the Yongle period, Jiaozhi was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, during the Xuande period, he rebelled in the territory.

In addition, the cost of managing Cochins was too high and it was abandoned.

People in the southern provinces know this place.

The Cochin area is more suitable for sugarcane growth.

Its sugars have always been exported.

Zhang Luo looked at this Luocheng sugar pill.

I saw that one of them still had some dirt on it.

Zhang Luo, who watched it, was disgusted.

The boss hurriedly reached out to remove the mud.

said to Zhang Luo:

"How many sugar pills does Xiao Langjun plan to buy?"

Zhang Luo glanced at the sugar pill in front of him a few times and said:

"I'd better buy local sugar pills."

"Just give me two pieces, the child loves to eat."

There has been no change in the attitude of the shopkeepers.

Show Zhang Luoche two black sugar pills.

Wrapped it in leaves and gave it to Zhang Luo.

Then he sent Zhang Luo and his party away with a smiling face.

Divide the two sugar pills among the babies.

Zhang Changwei asked puzzledly:

"Why is the brown sugar in this Cochine City so cheap?"

Zhang Luo said disdainfully:

"Luocheng has a lot of cheap origins, and it is located in a rainy place."

"It is suitable for growing sugarcane, and it is not as good as us compared to eating."

"But it's better to produce more."

Zhang Changwei understood.

He looked at Zhang Luo and asked:

"Could it be that Brother Zhang Luo still understands the sugar industry?"

Zhang Luo said casually:

"I just know a little bit about it."

If only someone else had spoken like that.

Zhang Changwei only felt that he was bragging.

But Zhang Luo's words, Zhang Changwei was convinced.

"Scholars are really capable!"

Bought the sugar pills.

The group found the Zhenhaiwei people mentioned by Zhang Changwei.

There are many inns in the county.

Some of them are also luxurious.

It's comparable to Fuzhou Mansion.

But obviously, Zhenhaiwei almost couldn't afford to pay the fine.

Naturally, there is no extra money to go to the guest house.

Zhang Luo was thinking about how to make white sugar on the road.

Although the quality of Luocheng's brown sugar is not good.

But it can be used as a sugar lead.

Just know more about the sugar production process.

Zhang Luo is confident that he can make white sugar in the same way as salt.

The people of the guard received them very warmly,

But because the place where the relatives live is not large.

Zhang Luo could only squeeze into a thatched hut with two dolls.

Zhang Luo tickled until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep uncomfortably.

By the next morning.

Zhang Changwei was called up by Zhang Xiaowu.

And Zhang Luo had already gotten up.

Ran a few laps outside.

Holding a piece of grass in his hand and.

Last night, Zhang Luo was bitten by the insects in the house.

The back was bitten red and swollen.

Staggered to sleep until the early morning.

I heard a noise outside the house.

The people in the county got up earlier than Zhang Luo thought.

When the sky is still blue-gray.

There are already people selling breakfast outside.

Zhang Luo didn't expect that a county town would also have such a scene.

It's almost comparable to the county seat of the 21st century.

The streets were full of cloth people.

Zhang Luo saw that they were dressed shabby.

After a hurried breakfast, I walked out of the city.

Zhang Luo found a stall selling straw cakes.

I bought two coins of grass cakes and returned to the courtyard where I stayed overnight.

Zhang Changwei was embarrassed to take the straw cake.

I took a bite, and it was much more delicious than the white porridge in the upper guard.

Zhang Luo stopped, walked to Zhang Changwei's side and asked:

"Long viagra, why do the people in the county get up so early?"

Zhang Changwei said while nibbling on the grass cake:

"Those are the masons from outside the city, who get up in the morning to catch up."

Stonemason? Why does a county still have to dig mountains?

张长伟 says:

"There are many iron mines and small stone mountains on the edge of Jinjiang County."

"There are some government governments in these places."

"There are also a few of the gentry."

"Masons have to go out and mine every day."

Zhang Luozhen didn't expect that Fujian's ore industry was already so developed.

Finish the straw cake.

Zhang Changwei handed over the two babies to the clansmen to take care of.

Zhang Changwei hid the silver on his body.

and Zhang Changluo walked out quickly.

Zhang Luo's children's test documents need to be approved by the county government.

Zhang Changwei decided to take Zhang Luo to the county school first.

Find a student and sign a letter of guarantee for Zhang Luo.

After that, we will go to the county government together.
