Chapter 21: Shocked
"I'm the shopkeeper here."
Cheng Shuyi took two steps forward and bowed to the man with extraordinary bearing.
"you?"
Sheng Hong showed a surprised expression on his face.
This shop is actually opened by her?
"So, you recognize all these things?"
Cheng Shuyi nodded but did not step forward.
After getting the man's permission, she dared to step forward and speak, "Then tell me quickly, what kind of rice is this!"
Sheng Hong excitedly called her forward.
When Cheng Shuyi traveled through time six years ago, he had some understanding of the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
After all, what she wanted to do at that time was to kill her entire clan.
At that time, Sheng Hong had been on the throne for less than three years.
He is highly regarded by the public.
Say he is kind.
Treat the people with all your heart.
Regarding the flood in Lingnan, he also advocated saving the people first and sending all supplies to Lingnan.
Unfortunately, the national treasury is in a tight spot now.
So when his eyes outside the palace brought him back a flyer from Darun Wanjia.
Without saying a word, he changed his clothes and left the palace.
When he got here, Sheng Hong discovered that there were far more goods in the store than what was on paper.
There are only three common types of rice on the paper: japonica rice, indica rice, and yellow rice.
Nothing else is written about black rice or red rice.
Even the noodles are like this!
Sheng Hong looked at the shelf on his left. There was not only white flour, but also glutinous rice flour, soybean flour, corn flour, potato starch...
Not only that, flour is also finely divided into low-gluten, medium-gluten and high-gluten flour.
It seems that the white flour used to make fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and pastries is different.
As the emperor of a dynasty and the ruler of all people, Sheng Hong has a good understanding of the products of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
He didn't know that white flour could be divided into such fine categories.
It really refreshed his cognition.
Cheng Shuyi pretended not to recognize the man in front of him and treated him as an ordinary VIP customer.
She walked to the food area, keeping a distance of about three steps from Sheng Hong.
"These are also types of rice. They are not as sweet and soft as white rice and are considered a type of coarse grain."
“Coarse grains…”
When Sheng Hong heard these two words, he thought it was food for livestock.
There's a bit of regret in his expression.
Cheng Shuyi quickly defended the reputation of coarse grains, "Sir, coarse grains are food. Eating more coarse grains is good for your stomach."
"Really?" The gloom in Sheng Hong's heart suddenly dissipated.
He reached out and touched the black rice and red rice.
He was very down-to-earth and picked up a grain of rice, put it to his mouth and bit it to feel it.
This is indeed a custom that has remained unchanged for five thousand years.
"What about those on the other side? Are they all soybeans?" Sheng Hong asked.
The shelf opposite the rice also contains granular things, but the grains are larger than rice grains.
Sheng Hong still didn't recognize many of them.
The two of them turned to the opposite side, and he felt it again.
I couldn't help but sigh when I spread it in my palm: It looks so good!
The particles are large, round and uniform!
Why don’t the beans presented by the Ministry of Revenue look as good as those here?
Cheng Shuyi followed beside him.
Because each product has a corresponding tag with the name and price of the product on it, it would be meaningless for her to introduce it again.
So let’s start by introducing how they do it.
"This is soybeans. They can be used to make tofu and soy milk. They can also be made into tofu skin, bean curd sticks, tofu pudding, dried tofu, and so on."
"Oh, right." Cheng Shuyi pointed to the vegetable section further inside. "There are still unripe soybean pods in the vegetable section, commonly known as edamame."
Yun City is a small city in the south by the sea.
Soybeans are planted in spring and can be harvested in mid-July.
Now is the time to eat edamame, and Cheng Shuyi bought some edamame when he returned to modern times to purchase supplies.
Shenghong had eaten edamame before, but he didn't know that beans could be made into so many different things.
Seeing that he was listening attentively, Cheng Shuyi continued to introduce.
"I won't say much about mung beans. Here are red beans, black beans, kidney beans, sword beans, and Job's tears. These can be cooked with black rice and red rice to make eight-treasure porridge."
"Eight Treasure Porridge?" Sheng Hong found it interesting. "It sounds nice, but I don't know if it tastes good."
"You can try it, sir."
Cheng Shuyi walked to the shelf of eight-treasure porridge and said, "We have prepared the eight-treasure porridge for customers who need it."
Sheng Hong looked at the colorful beans and rice in the wooden barrel rack.
He suddenly realized something.
He turned around and glanced at the two rows of shelves he had seen before and said, "So, these are all food!"
When entering the store, everyone is first attracted by the cool air in the shop.
Next comes the dopamine-filled products.
Only at this moment did Sheng Hong realize that behind these rich colors was food!
"Yeah." Cheng Shuyi found it a little funny. "And the noodles over there are also food."
Coming in from the main gate, the grain area is on the right and the pasta area is on the left.
Further in are the non-staple food area and daily necessities area, and the area closest to the backyard is the fresh fruit and vegetable area.
Although the first floor is divided into several areas, Cheng Shuyi did not build high shelves.
All items are stored on waist-high shelves, and the view from above is very wide, allowing you to see the entire first floor.
Sheng Hong seemed to have some plans in mind.
He didn't show it. "Let's look further ahead."
"The second area is the supplementary food area." Cheng Shuyi led the three people forward. "As you can see, this side is eggs, and this side is sugar."
Due to packaging issues, there are not many types of supplementary foods.
Only eggs, tea, soy products, condiments and sugar.
Eggs are stacked in paper trays and are a major category in the supplementary food section, occupying a corner of their own.
It looks spectacular.
How many chickens would it take to produce so many eggs?
Cheng Shuyi picked up an egg and said, "In addition to chicken eggs, we also sell duck eggs and preserved eggs."
Sheng Hong has accepted the fact that everything in the world exists.
He would not ask questions easily even if he was curious or confused, unless it was something very important.
For example... sugar.
“Is this candy?”
Something like salt, is it sugar?
"This is white sugar, which is extracted from sugar cane and sugar beets."
Cheng Shuyi didn't want to be asked how the sugar was extracted, so she quickly diverted Sheng Hong's attention.
He picked up a piece of coconut candy from the shelf and said, "This is a small snack, coconut candy. Would you like to try it, sir?"
Yun City is close to the sea and has many coconut trees.
There are a lot of handmade coconut candies and bulk coconut candies.
The packaging of handmade coconut candy is simple, just a piece of transparent white paper.
Cheng Shuyi took it to the ancient city to sell, and was also able to help the neighbors near the former B&B earn some pocket money.
"Master..."
The feminine, fair-faced man stepped forward and took the candy from Cheng Shuyi's hand.
Sheng Hong didn't take it. He picked up a candy from the shelf, tore it open and put it in his mouth.
The rich flavor of coconut sugar and the perfect sweetness melt in your mouth instantly.
It was a taste he had never experienced before.
Sheng Hong saw the paper bags hanging on the shelf, took one, and started filling them with candy on the spot.
Cheng Shuyi did not sell salt.
The control over salt in the Dasheng Dynasty was very strict, and her slave status prevented her from applying for salt selling qualifications from the government.
Sheng Hong seemed to be addicted to shopping. "Come on, let's go ahead and take a look."
"I want to see if there is anything in your Darun Wan family that I don't know!"
