In this remote courtyard in the northwest of Xu's mansion, Xu Chenan and Qiu Yue were boiling brown sugar in the courtyard together.

Seeing that the brown sugar had begun to dissolve into brown sugar water, Xu Chenan also began to make yellow muddy water.

Xu Chenan added water to the bucket filled with yellow mud and stirred.

Then he brought a wooden basin and put the wooden funnel into the basin.

"Qiuyue, pay attention to the heat, don't be too hot, don't burn all the sugar."

At this time, Xu Chenan used a spoon to pour the melted brown sugar water evenly into the funnel.

The melted brown sugar quickly stuck to the wooden funnel.

At this time, Xu Chenan hurriedly scooped up the yellow mud with a scoop of water and poured it down from the funnel.

This method of making white sugar from yellow mud water is to take advantage of the fact that the yellow muddy water can adsorb the pigments and impurities in the brown sugar.

Soon the yellow muddy water, stained with impurities and pigments, flowed down the funnel, leaving only the white icing in the large funnel.

Qiu Yue on the side also widened her eyes in surprise when she saw Xu Chen'an's operation.

But soon, when Xu Chenan picked up a bowl and poured all the frosting in the funnel into the bowl, looking at the white sugar cubes in the bowl, Qiu Yue jumped up excitedly.

"Young master, you really made frosting!"

Qiu Yue exclaimed.

Fortunately, this small courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, so naturally I don't have to worry about being listened to by others.

"Be careful with the heat, if this pot of sugar is mushy... We're going to die. Xu Chenan said with a smile.

Xu Chenan didn't expect that he would succeed the first time.

"Oh, good young master." Qiu Yue hurriedly squatted down and continued to carefully watch the heat under the stove.

But Qiu Yue's big eyes still skimmed into the bowl in Xu Chen'an's hand from time to time.

"The young master is so powerful, the young master actually made frosting!" Qiu Yue's heart was very excited.

Xu Chenan listened to the voice of this little girl, and he was also relieved in his heart.

With this handmade sugar-making technique, there is no need to worry about the money for meals in the future.

Even if he joined the Ji family, the Ji family didn't give him food, and he and Qiuyue couldn't go hungry.

Although Xu Chenan is very confident in his own ability, or perhaps he is very confident in the Tang poems and Song lyrics in his mind, Xu Chenan believes that he will definitely get ahead in the future.

But one more way is always good, and one more way out is also more secure.

And the craft of making white sugar and the craft of making wine is his last retreat.

If I don't become a Confucian saint, I'll be a rich man... Xu Chen'an thought so in his heart.

With the full cooperation of Xu Chenan and Qiu Yue, all five catties of brown sugar have turned into white sugar.

That is, the so-called frosting, which is very high-end and very expensive.

Even the white sugar created by Xu Chenan is sweeter than those so-called frostings.

You must know that although ordinary frosting is also white, the sweetness is obviously a little worse than brown sugar.

And the white sugar that Xu Chenan just refined was completely refined from brown sugar after removing impurities and pigments.

So due to the removal of impurities, the sweetness is even a grade higher than that of ordinary brown sugar.

Xu Chen'an asked Qiu Yue to go to the kitchen and bring a rolling pin, and then smashed the clumps of sugar.

This pot of refined sugar filled two large porcelain bowls.

After removing the loss, about four catties of white sugar were refined.

"How's it going? The young master is amazing, right? Xu Chenan looked at the two large porcelain bowls full of sugar in front of him, and his heart was full of a sense of achievement.

"Mmmm, the young master is the most powerful, the young master can be so magical!"

"You see your saliva is dripping, taste it and see how it tastes."

"Uh-huh, thank you, young master!"

After Qiu Ye finished speaking, he couldn't wait to dip a little sugar in his finger and then put it in his mouth, as soon as the white sugar entered his mouth, Qiu Yue's two eyes instantly widened.

"Sweet! It's so sweet, young master! ”

Looking at Qiu Yue's shocking appearance, Xu Chenan was also amused, and then he also dipped his fingers in some sugar and tasted it.

"Well, it tastes good, at least it's much sweeter than the frosting we bought." Xu Chenan commented very pertinently.

"Qiuyue, do you know what these two big bowls are?" Xu Chenan put the two large bowls of sugar on the table in the room, and then asked.

Qiu Yue said with some uncertainty: "Aren't these two bowls of frosting, young master?" ”

Xu Chenan shook his head.

"Qiuyue, this is not only two bowls of frosting, but also the silver of white flowers! The frosting in front of you is sweeter and whiter than ordinary frosting, even if it is a tael of silver and a tael of frosting, the two bowls of frosting in front of you are almost four catties, so how much do you calculate? ”

Xu Chenan looked at Qiu Yue with a smile.

And Qiu Yue was also obviously stunned, obviously, Qiu Yue was too, and now she realized it.

"Yes, such two big bowls full of icing, I'm afraid even the ladies of this Xu Mansion don't dare to be so extravagant... The young master is really amazing. Qiu Yue said in her heart.

"A tael of silver and a tael of icing, this is four catties, and now a catty is ten taels... Four catties is forty taels! That's 40,000 yuan..."Qiu Yue continued to pinch her fingers, frowning and began to calculate.

"This time, I used up a total of five catties of brown sugar, which is five hundred dollars. In less than an hour, it turned into 40,000 yuan... This profit is almost 100 times over!? Qiu Yue stared at the young master next to him with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Young master, you only used a bucket of yellow mud to increase the value of this brown sugar by a hundredfold? You're so amazing, Qiu Yue has never seen someone as powerful as you! At this time, Qiuyue's eyes were full of small stars, and her big eyes looked at Xu Chenan without blinking.

After Qiu Yue spoke, Xu Chenan did not hear Qiu Yue's heart, which means that what Qiu Yue said now is what Qiu Yue thinks in her heart.

Xu Chenan was also relieved, fortunately, Qiuyue didn't have any strange out-of-the-ordinary thoughts...

After all, wealth is moving, if Qiu Yue has any ideas that shouldn't be had, Xu Chenan still has to find a way to deal with it......

Let Qiuyue fully participate in the matter of turning brown sugar into white sugar, and then let Qiuyue understand how much benefit this matter can bring, isn't this a test for Xu Chen'an to Qiuyue?

As a traverser, it is almost impossible for Xu Chenan to make him completely believe in a person, and Xu Chenan does not want to always carry a person with a second heart with him.

After all, this is a business with a hundredfold profit, and if Qiu Yue has any different intentions, it is actually normal, but fortunately, in the end, Qiu Yue completely passed the test.

may be because Qiuyue is used to seeing people's warmth and coldness, and Xu Chenan is one of the few people in the world who cares about her and treats her well.

Therefore, Qiu Yue's loyalty to Xu Chen'an is impeccable, and she has no other ideas.

This night, Xu Chenan and Qiu Yue finally drank white sugar water.

Xu Chen'an was in a good mood this night and slept very peacefully, not only because he successfully made white sugar, at least he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, but also because Qiuyue passed her own test, Xu Chen'an understood that this little girl really took herself to heart.

Early the next morning, when Xu Chenan instructed Qiu Yue to go out and sell the four catties of sugar, an uninvited guest knocked on the courtyard door.

A somewhat impatient, loud woman's voice sounded outside the door:

"Young Master Xu, the second young master is invited! Come with me! ”
