Chapter 396: Boiling White Sugar
Nanshan Village.
The news that Liang Fugui bought 10,000 kilograms of beets caused a sensation in the village.
"Did you hear that Liang Dazui also brought back 10,000 kilograms of beets today? Judging from the situation, he really is going to make brown sugar!"
"I didn't realize this Liang Fugui is such a jerk. I originally thought he was just a big girl, enjoying himself and satisfying his desire to talk, but I didn't expect him to be like an old cow farting, shaking the world."
"He's not earth-shattering, he's fucking ungrateful. Our village used to be so poor we couldn't even afford underwear, let alone clothes. If it weren't for Qingya opening the sugar mill and giving every household a job and getting paid, people like us would have had to flee famine and beg for food."
"That's right. Liang Fugui did go a bit too far. But then again, this couple is quite good at making money. They actually bought 10,000 kilograms of beets in one go. That's no small amount of money!"
"Oh my silly sister-in-law, are those two really that capable? It's not that I look down on them, but no matter how frugal or profitable they are, even if they eat shit as sauce, they don't have the kidneys to come up with this kind of money."
"Did Liang Fugui buy that on credit?"
"What's on credit? Who does he think he is just a sworn brother? You don't know, but I can't hide this from you. Liang Fugui has a cousin who runs a business in town, so he must have made the money from that."
"Really? There's also this matter. It seems that Liang Fugui had planned this all along!"
"Doing business is not something that everyone can do. In my opinion, the couple just went to congratulate in mourning clothes, which is pure nonsense. If they really lose money, how will they live in the future?"
"You're right. Those two are so stingy that they wish every penny was bigger than the moon. Even if they want to make candy, they have to see if there's anyone willing to work for them."
"That's right. As the saying goes, 'It takes three to make a fence, and it takes three to make a hero.' Even though red flowers are beautiful, they still need green leaves to support them. Given the rubbish they did, I guess no one would bother to talk about it."
"Yes, let them dance alone and see how they perform!"
.......
Dozens of villagers gathered under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and spoke up for Chen Qingqing.
Sugar factory.
After putting 10,000 kilograms of beets into a specific cellar, Zheng Zhong left with the hired caravan.
Only the Chen family members were left in the yard.
Chen Qingqing was very calm and did not feel anxious about Liang Fugui's solo activities.
It is human nature to pursue profit; it is unstoppable.
Now that we have competitors, it's time to put new products on the agenda.
She remembered that lime was sold in the Space Mall. With this, she could easily separate the sugar.
Seeing Chen Qingqing lowering her head, as if thinking about something, Lin thought she was worried about the sugar factory.
I wanted to give him some advice, but I didn't know what to say.
I could only shake my head and sigh, and continue washing the beets in my hands.
Chen Zhanshan was also busy. He picked out the newly delivered beets that were bruised and moldy one by one.
The bruised ones can be processed and used to make sugar tomorrow, but the moldy ones must be thrown away, otherwise they will accelerate the rotting of other beets.
Although he appeared relaxed about Liang Fugui's purchase of sugar beets, he was actually in turmoil.
Dabao couldn't sit still anymore and paced around the yard feeling irritated.
They had originally planned to lay the foundation and build a house in the fall, but if someone else took over their business, I'm afraid their life would be thrown back to square one...
Seeing that no one spoke, Sun couldn't hold it in any longer and stood up angrily.
"Why don't you all say something? Are we just going to let some ungrateful bastard bully us like this? I say we should fight them to the death with pickaxes in hand, or else he'll think we're easy to bully!"
"Wife, you're right. Let's go settle the score with them. Liang, that heartless woman, I told you she was running into the sugar-making room every day. It turns out she's trying to learn from them. We can't let them succeed."
Chen Zhanliang threw the beets in his hand into the basin, splashing water.
"I'm going to find them right now. If they really don't respect me, I'll fight them to the death!"
"You're such a man! I'll go with you." Sun said as she was about to follow Chen Zhanliang out.
Seeing this, Chen Zhanshan frowned and shouted, "Stop messing around, Lao Er! Come back quickly!"
Chen Zhanliang frowned and stamped his feet. "Brother, I'm not kidding. That damn Liang Fugui is such a bully. He secretly learned how to make sugar in our house, and now he wants to go it alone. There's no such good thing in the world. I can't swallow this humiliation!"
"That's right. Miss Qing gave them a job to make a living, and it's fine if they don't know how to be grateful, but they actually want to destroy the bridge after crossing it and cause trouble for us. Isn't this repaying kindness with evil? Such villains deserve a beating!" Sun pinched her waist with both hands, looking furious.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing quickly said, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don't get excited. This matter is not as serious as you say. They can do whatever they want and do it however they want. This is their freedom, and we have no right to interfere."
Sun was completely unwilling to listen and snorted disdainfully, "That won't do either. That ungrateful bastard surnamed Liang, I won't feel good if I don't scratch her into a bloody gourd."
"Yes, let's do it. That's what I thought too. Beat that heartless bastard to death." Chen Zhanliang also clenched his fists tightly, his eyes wide open.
Chen Zhanshan waved his hand and said, "Alright, Zhanliang, stop causing trouble. Qing girl is right. They can do whatever they want. We have no right to interfere. If they really cause any trouble, we will not be in the right at all."
Chen Zhanliang shook his head helplessly and sighed, muttering softly, "What should I do now? Am I supposed to just sit there and watch Liang make candy?"
Seeing that they all hung their heads in silence, Chen Qingqing curled her lips and smiled, then said indifferently,
"You don't have to worry about this. After all, making brown sugar from beets is not that difficult. Anyone who works in our Tangfang can learn it with a little effort.
Even if it's not Liang Fugui, it could be Zhang Fugui, Li Fugui...
This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, and we can't stop it. Since we can't stop it, let's not worry about it.
Besides, even if they can make brown sugar, they need to find a market. The town and Anyang are basically monopolized by us, so it is not easy for them to do it.
Moreover, I recently developed a new sugar-making process, which makes the sugar as white as snow and even sweeter.
As long as this kind of white sugar is successfully produced, it will surely become popular in the Daning Dynasty."
After hearing this, Dabao's eyes suddenly lit up. No wonder Sister Qingqing was not anxious at all. It turned out that she had already thought of a way out.
He hurriedly asked, "Sister Qingqing, is there any sugar that looks like snow?"
The others also looked curious.
"Yeah, I've never heard of white sugar. How can it still taste sweet?"
"Is white sugar easy to make? If you can make it, will anyone buy it?"
