In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 150 You don’t want me anymore?
As the head of Nanshan Village, Wu Baoan's family was naturally well-off.
His two sons were both in the town. The elder son ran a cosmetics shop and the younger son ran an inn, so they could afford brown sugar.
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Uncle Lizheng, you are right. The taste of mulberry sugar and beet sugar is indeed different, and the color is slightly lighter.
However, beet sugar has many advantages.
First of all, beets are relatively easy to grow and are not picky about the land. There are many wastelands in our village where they can be grown.
Unlike the mulberry tree, it has to be found in specific places and is rare.
Furthermore, beets have a particularly high yield, and the same amount of effort and time can produce more sugar.
If it sells well, I plan to open a sugar factory in the village in the future."
Chen Qingqing is not selfish. She has had a plan since she bought these beets.
As long as she could really make sugar, she would ask Zheng Zhong for some beet seeds and mobilize the villagers to plant beets next year.
If she turns Nanshan Village into a sugar production area, her beet brown sugar will be available throughout the Daning Dynasty.
Wu Baoan's eyes lit up, and he was in high spirits. "You mean to let the villagers grow sugar beets, and then you buy them and open a workshop?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Hearing this, Wu Baoan slapped his thigh happily and said, "According to what you said, this beet sugar is really a treasure. Qing girl, you are a great person. Not only do you make money for yourself, but you also think about the villagers. I thank you on their behalf."
"Uncle Village Chief, it's too early to say anything now. Once the workshop is built, I can really help the villagers. It's never too late to thank you."
"Okay, no matter what, you have to give it a try. Uncle supports you."
At this time, Old Lady Chen stretched her neck and looked into the yard.
Seeing Wu Baoan put the candy into his mouth with his eyes closed and an intoxicated look on his face, she was so greedy that she kept swallowing her saliva.
I really want to shamelessly go in and try what the candy tastes like.
But she knew in her heart that even if she was greedy to death, no one would give her even a little bit.
But she couldn't bear it, so she gently nudged Old Man Chen and whispered, "Old man, please go in and get me some candy. I want to try it too."
"You go if you want to go, I'm not looking for trouble."
"It's useless." Old Mrs. Chen had no choice but to sniff and smell the sweet aroma in the air, muttering from time to time, "It smells so good, so sweet, so good."
…
As the sky gradually darkened, Wu Baoan saw that the villagers gathered outside the wall had no intention of leaving, so he shouted outside the courtyard,
"Stop gathering here, there's nothing to see. Go home and make dinner!"
The villagers had been standing for a long time and their backs and legs were sore. After hearing the words from the head of the village, they turned around and left.
Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Ruolan rolled their eyes in disdain and turned away.
Wu Baoan told Chen Zhanshan about preventing thieves and thefts, then changed the subject.
"Qing girl, the man you rescued from the mountains last time hasn't woken up yet. You're so busy now that you don't have time to take care of him. How about I give you a certificate and send him to Futianyuan in town tomorrow?"
Chen Qingqing frowned slightly. She rescued the man but couldn't wait for him to wake up. She always felt a little guilty.
But I really don't have time to take care of him now, it seems that this is the only way,
She nodded and said, "Uncle Lizheng, I was just about to tell you about this. I'll do as you say."
"Okay, I'll bring you the paperwork in a moment."
After sending Wu Baoan away, Chen Qingqing checked the syrup and thought to herself,
Today was the first time we made sugar. The whole family didn’t even have time to rest at noon, and we barely managed to collect 200 kilograms of sugar beets.
Although my parents said they were not tired, they looked exhausted.
If I continue doing this for such a long time, I will definitely not be able to bear it.
It would be better to buy a donkey to pull the mill. This would not only speed up the process, but also save a lot of manpower and greatly improve efficiency...
The next morning, Chen Qingqing got up early, gave some instructions to her parents, and then took a ox cart to Qingshui Town.
She thought of sending the man to Futianyuan first, and then finding a place to sell brown sugar.
After some inquiries, I finally arrived at the main gate of Futianyuan.
After explaining the situation to the gatekeeper, it wasn't long before a middle-aged man in charge came out.
Chen Qingqing handed over the certificate issued by the village, "Sir, this is the document issued by the village, please take a look."
The manager took it and examined it carefully, then glanced towards the car and said, "Miss, this man is motionless. Are you sure he's still alive?"
"Yes, sir. Although this man appears to be asleep, his pulse and heartbeat are normal."
"Okay, since it's clearly written in the document, then let him stay." The manager said, then instructed the people behind him, "Hurry and carry the man in the car into the west wing and find someone to take care of him."
After receiving the order, several people hurried to the ox cart and tried to lift the man down.
At this moment, the unconscious man on the ox cart suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.
The unsuspecting people were so shocked by the sudden change that they were at a loss and took a few steps back.
"Oh, this person is sick. He is so jumpy that he can scare people to death."
The manager was so frightened by this action that he shuddered all over, his face full of astonishment, "Miss, didn't you say this man had cadaveric syncope? How come he's sitting up?"
Chen Qingqing was also shocked and hurried over to the man.
As a doctor, I must always be worthy of my profession. I sent him to Futian Hospital not to let him fend for himself, but to hope that someone would take better care of him.
Now that he was awake, Chen Qingqing was truly happy. She asked calmly, "You're awake now. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
The man was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Qingqing with eyes full of concern, and said aggrievedly, "Where is this?"
"This is Futianyuan."
"Futianyuan?" The man looked at it blankly with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Qingqing was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. She was extremely excited.
I thought he wouldn't wake up in a short time, but I didn't expect him to wake up suddenly. It seems that she did not let him down for taking such good care of him these days.
She hurriedly said to the manager of Futianyuan,
"Sir, this man has suddenly regained consciousness, proving he has completely recovered. In that case, I would like to trouble you to help him find his family and reunite with them as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's best. It also saves the trouble of having someone to look after him. Just tell me where he lives and I'll send someone to verify. If he's homeless, we'll make other arrangements."
The steward waved his hand at his men and said, "Hurry and take him to the East Courtyard, find out his origin, and send him back as soon as possible."
When the man on the oxcart heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't touch me, I'm not going anywhere."
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing couldn't help but find it a little ridiculous, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Don't be afraid, this is Futianyuan, a place that specifically takes in people in distress. They will help you find your family and send you home."
"No, I'm not going to that crappy place. I have a home."
Chen Qingqing looked puzzled, "Where do you live?"
The man's eyes were dazed. He grabbed Chen Qingqing's hand and said shockingly, "My wife, why did you send me to this place? Don't you want me anymore?"
