Xu Chen'an, who was about to walk out of the small courtyard, was stunned for a moment after listening to Qiu Yue's words.

"What is rock candy? Qiu Yue, don't you know rock candy? Xu Chenan turned around and asked with a frown.

Qiu Yue also looked ignorant, and then said: "Young master, sugar is a precious thing, but rock sugar Qiu Yue really hasn't heard of it." Qiu Yue only heard the nobles in the mansion talk about frosting..."

"The frosting is expensive, it is said to be a tael of silver and a tael of frost."

Listening to Qiu Yue's words, Xu Chenan was stunned again.

"Are you talking about frosting sugar?"

"The powdered sugar is as white as frost... It's not an exaggeration to call it sugar, but it's not as elegant as frosting. Qiu Yue scratched her little head and said.

"That is to say..."Xu Chen'an was silent halfway through his words, but there was a monstrous wave in his heart.

This world is very similar to the Han Dynasty before the Tang and Song dynasties on the earth, so although there is such a thing as talent here for people to cultivate, there is no way to refine white sugar.

Although those great Confucians can fly to the sky, they can't refine sugar.

"A tael of silver, a tael of frost... A tael of silver is a jar of money, and a jar of money is a thousand dollars! And in this world, you can buy a bun for three cents. Xu Chen'an's heart was on fire.

The Tang poems and Song poems in your mind can gain talent and be used for your own cultivation.

And the knowledge in your mind other than Tang poems and Song lyrics can help you make a fortune.

"Let's go out and have a look." Xu Chenan pulled Qiu Yue and hurriedly walked out.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Yue was keenly aware that something was wrong with Xu Chen'an's current state.

"Qiuyue, don't worry, I just suddenly thought of a way, so that we don't have to live a poor life in the future, even if I get into the Ji family, even if the Ji family doesn't give us food, we can have no worries about food and clothing." At this time, the haze in Xu Chen's peace of mind was swept away, and some were just yearning for a better life in the future.

If the white sugar in this world is really precious, and he has mastered the method of refining white sugar, then he naturally does not need to be depressed for a long time.

"Really, young master?" Qiu Yue was also very excited when she heard this. After all, Qiu Yue unconditionally believed what Xu Chenan said.

The Xu family did not restrict Xu Chen'an from going out, so Xu Chen'an and Qiu Yue easily slipped out of the Xu Mansion through the small door in the backyard.

The two came to the street, and Xu Chen'an at this time felt the luxury of this Guangtai Mansion up close.

The streets are wide, with enough space in the middle for four horses to gallop side by side.

The streets are lined with a variety of shops.

Xu Chen'an even saw a few blond, blue-eyed, turban-wearing foreigners coming here to do business.

"Young Master, I heard from my sister in the mansion that these blonde and blue-eyed people are from the Western Regions, even farther than the Western Regions." Qiu Yue timidly pulled Xu Chen'an's shirt and walked behind Xu Chen'an.

"The Western Regions?" Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, Xu Chenan also sighed with emotion, this world is too similar to the Han Dynasty on the earth.

In the Great Han Dynasty on Earth, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the Silk Road.

And Xu Chenan looked at the pedestrians on the street, but found that there was no sound of selling sugar gourds along the street.

On the street, there are people who sell paste, mutton soup, wonton stalls, noodle stalls, and even roast mutton.

But Xu Chenan just didn't find a sugar gourd to sell.

"Qiuyue, do you know where to sell the kind of frosting you said?" Xu Chenan turned to Qiu Yue behind him and asked.

"Well, it seems that a few hundred steps further on, there is a house called Sweet House."

"There are dim sum sellers, and the dim sum inside is mixed with brown sugar. It also sells brown sugar and frosting, frosting costs 1,000 yuan a tael, and brown sugar is cheaper, but it also costs 100 yuan a tael. Qiu Yue boldly grabbed Xu Chen'an's sleeve, and the two walked forward as they spoke.

"Let's go, let's take a look, after visiting the sweet house, let's eat something outside." Xu Chenan pulled Qiuyue and walked forward a little impatiently.

Finally, Xu Chenan saw an antique wooden building in front of him from a distance, and the big plaque on it said the words "Sweet Taste".

"Is it there? Autumn Moon. Xu Chenan pointed to the wooden building and asked.

"Yes, that's it, young master." Qiu Yue also nodded her little head.

Soon the two came to the door of the sweet house.

Originally, Qiu Yue was a little stunned, but when she thought of the huge amount of fifty taels of silver in her young master's arms, she was not so nervous, and followed Xu Chen'an into the Sweet Taste Residence.

In this world, sweetness is a luxury.

Everything that has to do with sugar is premium.

For example, the sweet Curie snacks mixed with brown sugar, as well as brown sugar and icing, are high-end luxuries that ordinary people dare not think of.

The customers here are all dignitaries or famous families.

Although Xu Chen'an did not have jade pendants and sachets hanging on his waist, the momentum and clothes of his body were obviously the young masters of the big family.

And Qiu Yue looks even more beautiful, and at first glance she is a maid from the mansion.

The shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurried out.

"Dare to ask what Childe is here to buy?"

The shopkeeper of this sweet house has read countless people, and it is natural to see that Xu Chenan is not an ordinary person, so his attitude is very humble and enthusiastic.

Xu Chenan sat down on the Taishi chair on the side without being stunned, while Qiu Yue stood behind Xu Chenan obediently.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that you sell brown sugar and even have frosting here?"

"Back to this young master, the small shop does sell brown sugar, but the icing... There were only two taels left in the store. ”

Xu Chen'an's heart was also happy when he heard it, and now Xu Chen'an is almost sure that white sugar is indeed a luxury in this world.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how we sell this brown sugar, and how do we sell the frosting?" Xu Chenan continued to ask indifferently.

The tone seemed to not take the high-priced brown sugar and the frosting of a tael of silver and a tael of frosting in his eyes at all.

You must know that Xu Chen'an's current monthly silver is only five taels, which means that if you don't eat or drink for a month, you can only get five taels of frosting.

But Xu Chenan did not show the slightest timidity on the surface.

When the shopkeeper saw Xu Chen'an's appearance, he immediately understood that he had a big customer here, so his attitude became more and more respectful.

"Back to this son's words, the small shop has a pound of brown sugar for 100 yuan, and the icing... Because it is too precious, a thousand catties of brown sugar can produce a few taels of frosting. So frosting is one or two thousand wen. ”

Xu Chenan nodded when he heard this, this market is the same as what Qiu Yue said.

Now Xu Chenan's heart has begun to get excited, if this frosting is really white sugar, then he will be rich.

Now it's just a matter of making sure that the icing is white sugar.

So Xu Chen'an continued, and Dama Jindao sat there and said to the shopkeeper: "Take out the frosting, let this son take a look, and see how it is done." If the color is good, this son will want it, if the color is average..."

Hearing Xu Chen'an say this, the shopkeeper also hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, yes, the villain is going to take out the icing for you to see." The shopkeeper ran behind the counter and saw the guy kicking him.

"What are you doing? Why don't you make tea for your guests! ”

The shopkeeper ran to the back of the counter, and then climbed up to the second floor with a slump, and at this time the guy had already put the tea on Xu Chen'an's table.

Xu Chenan took the tea cup to skim off the foam on it and took a sip of tea, and then the shopkeeper went downstairs again, holding a delicate small box in his hand.

Soon, the panting shopkeeper stood next to Xu Chen'an with this delicate small box and bowed.

"Look, this boy, this is the frosting in the shop." The shopkeeper opened the small box as he spoke.

At this time, Xu Chenan was both excited and nervous, as long as there was sugar in this small box, his good days were coming.

Xu Chen'an pretended to be calm on his face, but his eyes stared at the box without blinking.

I saw a small copper bowl in the box, and a small pile of white powdered icing was placed in the copper bowl.
