The moment he really saw this frosting with his own eyes, Xu Chen'an already had eighty percent certainty in his heart that this thing was white sugar.

Xu Chenan was about to stretch out his hand to dip a little and taste it, and then thought that since this icing was so precious, the shopkeeper would definitely not be allowed to taste it.

So Xu Chenan waved his hand directly: "It's not bad, although this frosting is a lot worse than my family's, but it is barely okay, this frosting is what my son wants." ”

Qiu Yue behind her looked anxious, the young master just had money, so he came out to squander it to buy frosting.

But Qiu Yue couldn't break Xu Chen'an's face, and she couldn't dissuade Xu Chen'an in this situation, Qiu Yue could only pinch her palm distressedly.

"Okay, this frosting, a little more than two taels, plus the box and the copper bowl will charge you three taels of silver." With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper put the delicate box with frosting on the table next to Xu Chen'an.

"I wonder what other needs Childe has?" The shopkeeper of Sweet House waited beside him with a smile on his face.

And Xu Chenan sat leisurely on the Taishi chair and picked up the teacup, took a sip unhurriedly, and then stretched out his middle finger and dipped it in some frosting and put it in his mouth.

Xu Chenan closed his eyes and savored it.

At this time, although Xu Chenan's face was calm, his heart was already excited.

"That's right, this is white sugar, and it's not even as sweet as white sugar!" Xu Chen'an was determined at the moment, and it seemed that his way to make a fortune was about to be completed.

You must know that this frosting is just a thin layer of white frost condensed on the surface of boiled brown sugar, and if you want to talk about sweetness, it must not be very sweet.

But don't forget, this is a world with talents, Confucianism and Taoism are the first avenues in the world, and the scholars are in control.

In such a world, subservience and elegance are common to all.

And this frosting, which is as white as snow, symbolizes elegance, symbolizes nobility, symbolizes beauty and refinement, and is naturally deeply loved by readers.

In this world, whether it is a dignitary or a wealthy family, they all like such elegant and polite things.

Although the frosting cost Xu Chenan and Qiuyue half a month's living expenses, Xu Chen'an felt that he was earning blood.

It's the little girl Qiuyue, who is suffering, behind Xu Chen'an, pinching her palms in her sleeves in distress.

"The young master is such a loser... The young master and I only have a total of five taels of silver a month, and the young master just went out and spent three taels and exchanged for two taels of frosting, although this frosting is sweet, but it can't be eaten as a meal, and it can't be used as a dress..."

Then Xu Chenan listened to Qiu Yue's heart and said secretly: "Forget it, since the young master likes it, then go with the young master, it's a big deal that I will take over some laundry and sewing clothes in the future, besides, this money belongs to the young master, and the young master can spend it as much as he likes." ”

The little girl Qiuyue persuaded herself in her heart.

Xu Chenan listened to Qiu Yue's heart, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Shopkeeper, give me another twenty catties of brown sugar, and go back to reward the next person." Xu Chenan commanded.

"Alas, all right! The villain is going to give you Sheng! "The shopkeeper's ass and his buddy went to give Xu Chen Ansheng brown sugar.

"You see, this bag is five catties, a total of four paper bags, and the scale is high."

Xu Chenan nodded.

Then he took out a silver ticket of five taels from his bosom and handed it over.

The shopkeeper happily took it, and then took out another bag and put the brown sugar and the delicate box into it.

The little maid Qiuyue carried a burden of twenty catties, followed behind Xu Chen'an with a bitter face, and walked out of the sweet house.

"Childe, welcome to come back next time!" The shopkeeper led the man and said goodbye to Xu Chen'an enthusiastically.

This time, the frosting is actually a little damp, and if you meet an expert, you will definitely not be able to sell it for a high price of three taels of silver.

Fortunately, this time I met a young master who is stupid and has a lot of money.

Xu Chenan left with Qiu Yue.

And the owner and buddy of Sweet House are whispering.

"Whose son is this? Why haven't you seen it before? ”

"I don't know, you can buy five taels of silver candy at your fingertips, this is definitely not a small family."

……

Xu Chenan took care of Qiu Yue and slowed down.

"Sink or not, do you need me to carry it?" Xu Chenan looked at Qiu Yue's pouting expression, which was very funny.

"What's wrong with you're unhappy?" Xu Chenan continued to ask with a smile.

And Qiu Yue pouted, tears swirling in her eyes.

"Young master, bad... We only have five taels a month, and the young master actually spent five taels as soon as he went out, and he bought candy that couldn't fill his stomach..."Qiu Yue said aggrievedly.

Xu Chenan also smiled and whispered in Qiu Yue's ear: "Little girl, you don't understand, this is the way I told you to make money!" ”

Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then pouted again.

"The young master deceives people, what does making money have to do with buying sugar?"

At this time, Xu Chenan saw a stall selling mutton soup on the street, and next to it was a steamed bun.

So Xu Chenan pulled Qiu Yue to sit down on the stall.

"What are you two going to eat?" The stall owner smiled and came over to wipe the table.

"Two large bowls of mutton soup, more meat, then four lamb buns, and a plate of pickles. By the way, another jug of wine. Xu Chenan thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" The stall owner went to prepare.

Qiu Yue's little hand under the table gently shook Xu Chenan's hand.

The big eyes were also constantly signaling to Xu Chen'an.

And Xu Chenan also heard Qiu Yue's heart: "Young master, don't spend it, don't spend it, you can't spend money like this, otherwise the two of us will be hungry in the future." ”

Xu Chenan gently patted Qiu Yue's hand and gave a look to reassure Qiu Yue.

"Don't worry, we won't be short of money in the future." Xu Chenan said to Qiu Yue with a smile.

And Qiu Yue's little face was suspicious.

Xu Chenan helped Qiu Yue put the burden on the stool next to him, and then whispered close to Qiu Yue's ear: "I bought this brown sugar to make money, young master, I have the ability to turn brown sugar into frosting, do you believe it or not?" ”

Listening to Xu Chen'an's words, Qiu Yue's eyes widened in disbelief.

Since the young master said that he can, he will definitely be able to!

Qiu Yue's heart was surprised: "Turn brown sugar into frosting? Could it be that the young master knows how to demons? No, the young master knows magic??? ”

Listening to Qiu Yue's heart, Xu Chenan also smiled.

"Don't worry, young master, I am well-read, and I once saw a way to turn brown sugar into icing sugar in an ancient book. It's simple, but almost no one knows about it. Xu Chenan continued to explain to Qiu Yue.

After listening to Xu Chen'an's words, Qiu Yue was already completely convinced.

"Brown sugar is 100 wen a catty, frosting is 1000 wen a tael... Young master, aren't we getting rich? The little girl Qiuyue looked excited and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Xu Chenan nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, we're rich."

The ancient books that Xu Chenan said are naturally not the ancient books of this world.

The method of converting brown sugar into white sugar was once seen by Xu Chenan in a book called "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the Ming Dynasty, which recorded the method of making white sugar from yellow mud water.
