Chapter 356 Heartbeat

"Sister, come on! Take a look!" Xiao Tao had been thinking about this mystery for several days, and the answer was finally revealed.

The village elders, the Yang family, and Wang Sanlang all came to witness the miracle.

Su Ying opened the room and removed the gauze covering it.

There is a thin layer of sugar crystals on the surface, and pieces of crystals on the twine.

"Oh my God!" Everyone covered their mouths in shock as they looked at the crystal-like candy.

Even though I'm used to seeing rare treasures, I was still shocked at this moment. How could there be such rare treasures in this world?

Take out the thin layer of sugar crystals on the surface and gently crush it on the chopping board to turn it into small particles. This is white sugar.

After shaking the twine, the large crystals on it fell off, leaving a small amount of residue on the twine. These large crystals are polycrystalline rock sugar.

"Try it!" Su Ying knocked the rock sugar off the twine and asked everyone to taste it.

When you put it in your mouth, it has a pure and delicate taste and is very sweet, much sweeter than brown sugar.

It cannot be chewed and can only be dissolved slowly.

"Crunch, crunch!" Atang chewed it with a loud crunching sound and finished it in a few bites. The child has good teeth.

"This candy..." The village elders all knew what a sensation it would cause if this thing was sent to Chang'an!

"Only this much is produced in a year. Scarcity makes things valuable!" Su Ying said.

"Yes, Ah Ying is right!" Old Man Yang agreed.

It would be most appropriate for Lu Zhaoshi to present this thing to the emperor in person. It would be an honor for the governor, and Wu County, Huanggou Village, and Jinfengzhai would all benefit from it.

If His Majesty is pleased, perhaps he can even grant the children a chance to take the entrance exam! No need to resort to connections everywhere.

A white porcelain jar had been prepared long ago, filled with rock sugar and white sugar. It was a small jar, weighing only three or four taels, and was extremely valuable.

All of them were used as tributes and were not circulated on the market. They could not be bought even if you had money.

The rock sugar on the twine was kept and each family was given one or two pieces.

The villagers were so shocked that their eyes almost dropped to the ground. When did it come out? There was no movement at all!

The Qin family took their share of candy and couldn't bear to eat it.

What kind of luck did I have? I can see all kinds of weird things here. It really opened my eyes!

Even the nobles and the emperor have not eaten this rock sugar yet, and I, a lowly commoner, actually ate it first!

"Okay, tomorrow my mother and I will go to the county government office!" Su Ying saw that there were a lot of things to pack at home, and wondered if her brother could carry them easily?

The sour jujube cakes were also packaged in white porcelain jars, with white sugar, rock sugar, walnut and sesame powder for my brother's fast food on the road, winter clothes, boots, money,

The last season has a lot of colorful silk fabrics and so on.

The next day, one ox cart could not hold all the food, so another was borrowed. The two Yang brothers helped drive the cart to the county government office.

"Mother, Ying, Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, why are you here?" Su Boyan was handing over matters to Fuxi.

After the colorful silk brocade in Baimao Village was finished and inspected, Fuxi paid all the wages and sent them all to the provincial capital. Then he returned to Wu County to take over Su Boyan's business.

I have agreed with County Magistrate Hu that I will only help him when I am free, and I will no longer be involved once the spring comes and he is busy. I told County Magistrate Hu to find a suitable staff member.

"There are a lot of things. My mother and I will deliver them to you so you don't have to run back and forth!" Su Ying smiled.

"What are these and why are there so many?"

Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang carefully carried a few boxes in. Su Boyan was shocked. Did they empty the house?

"Good stuff!" Su Ying smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, Ah Ying is here!" Upon hearing the news, County Magistrate Hu and Mrs. Hu put down their work and came over, along with Xie Qingyun, Su Lu, Pei Yuzhen, and Wang Furu.

"The master is here, this is yours." Su Ying pointed to an unsealed box and took out a white porcelain jar.

"Oh, what's Ah Ying doing now..." Mrs. Hu suddenly stopped, "Oh my God, this is..."

What is that crystal clear thing? There is no crystal in Wuxian!

Magistrate Hu, Fuxi, and Su Boyan came over to take a look, their expressions shocked. "Ah Ying, what is this made of? It's so exquisite, like ice crystals?"

"You will know after trying it, sir!" Su Ying picked up the white porcelain jar and distributed it to everyone present.

"Oh, sir, what is this? Such a treasure, how could I miss it!" Xie Qingyun put it in her mouth, it tasted so sweet.

"Rock sugar! How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Ying looked at the four beautiful girls and became more and more outstanding.

"Delicious!" The girls nodded in unison.

"What's new in Jinfengzhai this year?" After tasting it, County Magistrate Hu took a sip of hot tea to relieve the greasiness.

"No! We will launch it after Jinfengzhai withdraws from the sugar factories in all counties in five years." Su Ying shook her head.

"Good, in this way, our Wu County will be invincible!" County Magistrate Hu was very surprised.

Mrs. Hu originally wanted to make a fortune for herself and didn't want to wait until five years later. She felt a little regretful, but brown sugar was also a scarce commodity, so her family would not lose money.

"Brother, you have come all the way here with great difficulty. These are tributes: one box of white sugar, one box of rock sugar, one box of sour jujube cakes, and four boxes of colorful brocade. Please go to the provincial capital and give them to Lord Lu. Here is the list.

This box is a gift for Lord Lu, this one is for Grandpa, and the rest are warm clothes for my brother, food for the journey, etc."

Su Ying explained everything one by one.

"Aying, our family is so lucky to have you!" Su Boyan felt guilty holding the list.

"Brother, rest assured. Next year, after everything is arranged, I will bring grandmother and the others back to Chang'an, and our family will be reunited."

Mrs. Hu, who was drinking tea, paused and looked at her husband. Their eyes met, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Boyan did not dare to stay long, so he packed his bags and said goodbye. County Magistrate Hu arranged for Niu Er to lead a group of yamen runners to escort him to the provincial capital.

"Sister, can we really go back to Chang'an next year?" After saying goodbye to her cousin, Su Lu finally had the chance to talk to her cousin.

"Yes! Do you want to go back?" Su Ying looked at her cousin with a smile.

In just a few months, she transformed into a cheerful, confident, lively and playful girl.

"I want to!" Su Lu said simply.

Xie Qingyun, Pei Yuzhen and Wang Furu looked at Su Lu enviously. It was great to go to Chang'an!

"Do you want to go?" Su Ying asked.

"We?" Xie Qingyun couldn't believe it. "We can go too?"

"Of course, do you want to?" Su Ying teased.

"Yes! Sir, can we really go?" Xie Qingyun, Pei Yuzhen and Wang Furu were very happy.

"Next year, the second group of children will go on a study tour, and the girls will go too. If you want to go, come along and look after the younger students."

"We want to go, we want to go, sir, we want to go!" The girls were so happy that they wanted to jump up.

"What do you think, Madam Hu? Take your four stewards away at once." Su Ying looked at Madam Hu.

"What Ah Ying said is true. If I weren't older, I would want to go too! Go ahead! While you're still young, go out more!

"They've come and helped me a lot. Now the shopkeeper, the steward, and the accountant have all learned how to use an abacus, and it's much easier than before," Mrs. Hu said generously.

"Madam! Why don't we go to Chang'an together? My mother and the others will have company, and you can go and see Mr. Hu Da and Mr. Hu Er?" Su Ying suggested.

"Huh!" Mrs. Hu didn't expect Su Ying to say that, but she was very tempted by the suggestion.
