Chapter 52: It's a sure win



But he doesn't act impulsively.

"I'll have to wait until I taste the tofu you mentioned before I can tell you."

He then asked, "Is there any reason for me to earn money? If it's just tofu, it's not enough."

Even if the tofu is really good, launching tofu dishes is just a first-mover advantage, and other restaurants will soon follow suit.

Of course, getting the upper hand is often an opportunity.

Their family also runs a small restaurant in the capital. If this tofu dish is good, we will see if there is a chance to send it to the capital to try.

Shi Qingluo replied: "Of course."

"I can also grow some rare varieties of precious flowers, such as black chrysanthemum, black peony, a plant of several-color chrysanthemum, a plant of several-color peony, a plant of several-color camellia, etc."

"Just with the chrysanthemum, I can grow many varieties that you have never seen before."

"And I can also cultivate your precious tulips into many different colors."

She is an expert in cultivating and grafting famous flowers.

Not to mention the blessing of the spiritual spring.

Bai Xu didn't quite believe it, "Is it true?"

Shi Qingluo looked at him with a look of disbelief, "If you don't believe it, it means you have no vision and will miss a lot of opportunities."

Bai Xu: “…” To question her is to be short-sighted. This woman is really hard to describe.

Shi Qingluo could see what his expression meant, "If you don't believe me, then just wait for me to slap you in the face."

"When I grow all kinds of rare and precious flowers, I will cooperate with others to sell them. You will be greedy to death!"

If there weren't two largest businessmen in Nanxi County, and the Wu family had a grudge against her, she wouldn't have taken advantage of Bai Xu.

Of course, being picked on by her was actually Bai Xu's luck.

Bai Xu: “…” He wanted to laugh at her.

But he still held back. If this woman really cultivated the rare and famous flower she mentioned, he would be envious.

He asked Shi Qingluo: "How are my flowers?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "It's alive now. You can visit it anytime. It misses you too."

Bai Xu: “…” Why does it sound like he’s going to see his little lover from this woman’s mouth? That’s poisonous.

He raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure it's alive? Will it wither again when I bring it back?"

Shi Qingluo shook his head, "Of course not."

"If you don't trust me, you can ask my husband. You always believe what he says, right?" He brought out Xiao Hanzheng to guarantee it.

Xiao Hanzheng testified: "Your Ziju is indeed alive."

Bai Xu still believed in Xiao Hanzheng, nodded and said to Shi Qingluo: "You seem to be very good at cultivating flowers, I will go to see it tomorrow."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Actually, you can go see it today. I think it really wants to see you."

This way we don't have to take the slow ox cart back.

The main reason was that she had to buy a lot of things, otherwise she would rather walk than ride in a ox cart.

Now that she could take advantage of the carriage, she certainly wouldn't let it go.

Bai Xu: “…” You obviously want to take advantage of my carriage, don’t think I don’t know.

He said with a wry smile, "It will be the same if we go tomorrow."

Shi Qingluo played with the teacup, "Then you will have to wait until tomorrow to taste the tofu, and even later to promote this dish in the restaurant. Time is money."

"You might also miss my homemade candy."

After bringing the beets home yesterday, she took Xiao's mother and a few others to make sugar.

Bai Xu raised his eyebrows, "You also know how to make sugar?"

Why don’t you tell me that you can still go to heaven with your master?

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Shi Qingluo took out a piece of white sugar wrapped in paper from the cloth bag he was carrying.

After opening it, the crystal white sugar inside lies on the paper.

She snorted proudly, "I told you that you were going to be slapped in the face, but you didn't believe it."

"Yes!" Shi Qingluo nodded.

He asked again: "What kind of candy is it?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "It's similar to the brown sugar on the market, but more refined."

The white sugar here is called brown sugar. Since the decolorization process has not yet been invented, the sugar made from sugarcane is reddish brown or yellowish.

Brown sugar is just called brown sugar.

Bai Xu was a little skeptical, "How can brown sugar be so white?"

“Can I have a taste?”

He had never seen sugar so white.

Shi Qingluo knew that the sugar here had not been bleached, so Bai Xu's reaction was within her expectations.

She first grabbed some from the paper bag and put it in her mouth, "Okay, I'll try it for you first."

After all, it is something that is eaten, so it is better for her to try it first as a demonstration.

Bai Xu actually regretted the moment he said he wanted to try it. After all, he was not familiar with these two people. What if this thing was poisonous? Although the possibility was small, it was better to be cautious.

But now that he saw Shi Qingluo tasted it first, he felt relieved and reached out to grab some and put it in his mouth.

The surprise in his eyes became stronger, and his face felt a little painful. "This candy tastes sweeter than the brown sugar sold."

I never thought this woman could make sugar.

He asked curiously, "How did you make it?"

Shi Qingluo habitually passed the buck, "My master taught me that!"

Bai Xu sighed in his heart, your master is really awesome, he knows everything.

He said, "I mean, how do you make this candy?"

He was very curious about how this sugar could be made so white.

The main branch of the Bai family owns a large sugarcane plantation, specializing in making brown sugar and yellow sugar for sale, which brings in huge profits.

It’s a pity that the main branch controls the sugarcane seeds and does not allow people in the branches to share the benefits.

There is nothing they can do if they want to get involved in the sugar market.

He didn't see any sugarcane growing in Nanxi County, so he thought that the woman's candy was probably not made from sugarcane, which made him even more puzzled.

Shi Qingluo glanced at him meaningfully again, "Do you think I would tell you such a secret technique?"

Bai Xu: “…”

That’s right, he definitely wouldn’t say that if it were him.

I was just curious and couldn't help but ask.

"Are you going to sell this candy?" He saw a huge business opportunity.

This candy was better than any other candy he knew in terms of appearance, quality and taste.

If you deliberately package it, raise the quality, and sell it specifically to the powerful and wealthy, the profit should be considerable.

I have to say, this woman is really good at making decisions.

Shi Qingluo looked at him with a look of idiocy, "If I make it and don't sell it, do I keep it for myself to eat? I can't finish so much!"

Bai Xu: “…” He felt like he was being implied.

He decided not to argue with her for the sake of money, "So how much do you have? If I want to buy it, how do I sell it?"

Shi Qingluo said: "However much you want, I have as much as you want."

She can also buy brown sugar from the market and use the yellow mud water method to bleach it and turn it into white sugar.

Bai Xu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You are so arrogant! You can't turn brown sugar into this kind of white sugar, can you?"

Otherwise, how could we have as much as we want? The key point is that there is no sugarcane in Nanxi County.
