"It's too expensive. It's a waste for Grandma to eat this kind of candy. You should sell it for money instead," the old lady quickly declined.

"Grandma, we set the price of sugar so high, but the actual cost of producing one pound of sugar is not much. You should take it back with you, as long as you don't tell anyone."

After hearing Zhao Xian's words, Old Mrs. Zhao stopped refusing. She put the bag of sugar into her bosom and left.

After the old lady left, Zhao Xian came out to help, only to find that the kimchi was almost ready and there was nothing more for him to do.

Li Chun'e felt uneasy about finishing the task so quickly. She noticed it was getting late and it was time to cook.

Yesterday's vegetables weren't finished, and they bought a lot more today. Li Chun'e felt a little bad seeing that they were eating good food every day. She was used to a hard life, and now that she had white rice and meat every day, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But then I thought, I should eat it anyway. We're making money every day, so this little bit is nothing. Once we start selling our sugar, we'll make even more money.

While Li Chun'e was cooking, Qin Shiyu and Qin Yingying came over to help, wanting to learn how to cook.

The two girls were from wealthy families and had never been to the kitchen before. This time, they were seriously learning how to cook.

They didn't know what their future held, and they needed to learn to do more so that they could better serve their masters.

After lunch, Zhao Xian told everyone to rest for half an hour before making white sugar.

This time, all three of them were careful not to let it happen again like yesterday, where they slept on and on without stopping.

Half an hour later, everyone had rested and began making white sugar.

This time, Zhao Xian didn't do it himself. Instead, he let others make it by hand while he only provided guidance. He wanted everyone to learn how to make white sugar as soon as possible.

Two hours later, all twenty catties of granulated sugar were processed into white sugar, weighing more than eighteen catties. They wrapped the white sugar in oil paper, each package containing one catty, and neatly placed them into a wooden box.

The yield of white sugar produced this way is too low to achieve mass production. A workshop must be built specifically for producing white sugar.

To improve production efficiency, the workshop that produces white sugar needs to make some equipment by hand. He roughly calculated that even making the cheapest adobe house would cost at least twenty taels of silver, and he didn't have that much silver.

Besides, the twenty taels of silver that need to be returned to Master Zhang at the end of the month is only a few days away, and there is still no way to get that silver. Relying on selling pickled vegetables is definitely too late. All our hopes are now pinned on white sugar.

He plans to make more white sugar tomorrow and go to the county town the day after tomorrow to find the sugar merchant.

The next day, after delivering the kimchi, Zhao Xian bought forty catties of sugar, basically spending all the money he had on him.

After returning home, he didn't waste a moment. He pickled vegetables and made sugar at the same time, and it wasn't until dusk that he finished making the sugar.

Zhao Xian calculated that the white sugar he had made in the past three days totaled more than 60 jin (30 kg), and he planned to go to the county town to sell it the next day.

Zhao Xian looked at Qin Shiyu and found that after two days of medication, most of the scars on the sisters' faces had faded and were no longer noticeable. In a few more days, these scars should have little impact on their appearance.

"Zhao Cheng, Shiyu, tomorrow we're going to the county town to sell white sugar. Let's get the preparations done first and bring all sixty catties of white sugar with us."

"Yes, patriarch," the two replied immediately.

In the past two days, Qin Shiyu and Qin Yingying have been paying close attention to the scars on their faces almost every moment. The use of the miraculous medicine has made the scars fade away quickly.

The two sisters were overjoyed; at this rate, they would be fully recovered in just a few days.

For a girl, nothing is more important than face. Zhao Xian is both their head of the family and their benefactor, and they want to repay him.

At this moment, Zhao Xian took out two small silver boxes. These were foundation creams he bought in the system. They could cover up all blemishes when applied to the face and were a beauty secret. Modern girls were all using them, and the price in the system was not expensive.

In that era, cosmetics similar to foundation creams did not exist. Cosmetics were far less diverse than they are today, mainly consisting of rouge, forehead cream, and face powder, which were used by the wealthy.

"This is called foundation cream. It can cover up scars when applied to the face, but it cannot treat them. It's for use when going out, but you don't need to use it at home."

The two were pleasantly surprised to receive the foundation cream, which was contained in a small silver box. It was clearly mass-produced using modern technology and was very exquisite, but the ancients did not know these things.

There were already goldsmiths at that time, and they all made their products by hand. Although the products they made were exquisite, they could not compare with modern craftsmanship.

The small silver box gleamed and was exquisitely crafted, with lifelike carvings of ladies on it, as if they were alive.

The sisters guessed that the two silver boxes must have been made by a master craftsman, and their price must have been high. Cosmetics packaged in silver boxes must be even more expensive.

The head of the family is so good to his two sisters, buying them such good cosmetics.

"Xiao Sheng and Xiao Shan, you two go to town to deliver goods tomorrow. After settling the accounts, go home as soon as possible. Zhao Cheng, Qin Shiyu, and I will go to the county to promote our sugar," Zhao Xian instructed.

"Okay, bro, we got it."

The next morning, the whole family got up early, and by the time Zhao Xiaoshan opened the gate, the oxcart was already parked at the door.

The men loaded the vegetable jars onto the oxcart, and the cart set off. The two brothers were a little nervous, but Zhao Xiaoshan had delivered goods several times before, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Seeing that his two younger brothers had already left on the oxcart, Zhao Xian prepared to go to the county town. He divided the sixty catties of white sugar into two wooden boxes, intending to carry one box each with Zhao Cheng.

Qin Shiyu was also ready. She applied foundation, and there were no visible scars on her face. Moreover, her skin was rosy and radiant, making her even more beautiful than before.

"Sister, you look so beautiful today! It seems the foundation cream the family head gave us is really valuable. Not only can it hide the scars on your face, but it also makes your skin look even better. I'll use this foundation cream next time I go out," Qin Yingying said excitedly.

"Yes, it's a pity there's no mirror, so I can't see what I look like now. When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a mirror."

Zhao Xian was very satisfied with Qin Shiyu's appearance, but she was wearing the coarse cloth clothes he had bought in town last time. This was clearly the attire of a servant, and it was definitely inappropriate to go out to discuss business in such clothes.

He wanted to assess Qin Shiyu's abilities during his business trip to the county town and was determined to cultivate her into his capable assistant.

Zhao Xian searched the system and actually found a classic red dress. It was made of silk and wasn't expensive. Wearing this dress, Qin Shiyu's noble and elegant image should be immediately revealed.
