Shen Shushan and Shen Shulan's enlightenment went smoothly. Shen Shuyi went home with Chu Yi in the afternoon, carrying a lot of rice dumplings in his hands when he went back.
It is a gray water rice dumpling, which usually has no fillings inside, but Zhuang Mei added red dates, which makes it taste slightly sweet.
She said to Chu Yi: "This will taste better with sugar."
In fact, she prefers to eat big meat dumplings! It’s a pity that in this era, who can afford to eat rice dumplings?
"White sugar?" Chu Yi was puzzled. He had never heard of this name.
Chen Shuyi thought about it and realized that there was indeed no such thing as white sugar in the original owner's memory. She thought that the original owner had rarely been to the county town and didn't know about white sugar.
“It’s just white sugar.”
Chu Yi had never seen white sugar before, but he was happy to help his wife find it. "I'll go with you to the county town to have a look tomorrow."
They did what they said and went to the street early the next morning.
Chu Yi often went to the county town to sell prey, and he knew the county town better than Shen Shuyi. Soon the two came to a shop called "Lin's Goods Shop" that sold dry goods.
Shen Shuyi walked in and saw that on the shelves inside the store, there were a dozen porcelain basins with wide mouths neatly arranged, filled with black-brown and reddish-brown pastes.
Chu Yi pointed and said, "Madam, this is candy."
Shen Shuyi had never seen white sugar, and this paste-like sugar was different from the sugar she had seen before. The brown sugar and black sugar she had seen before were all in blocks.
The waiter came over and said with a smile, "Black sugar is 25 cents a bowl, and red sugar is 1 white cent."
"Would you two like some?"
Chu Yi asked, "Do you sell sugar here?"
"White sugar?" The shop assistants were stunned.
Shen Shuyi added, “It’s white sugar.”
"Oh, you mean frosting."
Shen Shuyi’s eyes lit up, “Let’s take a look.”
The waiter carefully took out a small, exquisite ceramic jar from a tall cabinet and opened the lid. "Is this it?"
"That's right!" Shen Shuyi looked at the frosted white sugar and nodded. It looked so delicate and small, it couldn't be expensive...
That brown sugar costs one hundred coins.
"Do you want it? This icing sugar will cost one tael of silver." This is the treasure left by their young master in this shop.
Shen Shuyi smacked his lips, this was comparable to silk.
Chu Yi thought she wanted it, so he bought it without saying anything.
Shen Shuyi pulled him away and only bought ten kilograms of brown sugar.
"Shuyi, I can buy it if you want." Chu Yi didn't feel bad at all. At worst, he could just go up the mountain to hunt more often.
Shen Shuyi pinched his arm, “Don’t buy it, I can do it!”
Chu Yi did not discourage his wife's enthusiasm, but the frosting was so expensive and must be extremely rare. How could she make the frosting?
Shen Shuyi communicated with the system, “66, how is the frosting made in this era?”
[Replying to the host, the Chu State's icing sugar is a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of brown sugar after it is boiled and cooled. Only one or two ounces of icing sugar can be produced from a thousand kilograms of brown sugar. Most of it goes into the imperial palace, and only a small amount remains among the people. ]
In Shen Shuyi's previous small world mission, she still remembered that after becoming the queen, she proposed many practical policies for the development of the Qin State, ranging from movable type printing to the "yellow mud water sugar method" in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature".
Excitement flashed in her eyes. Although she could harvest a lot of mountain products with the blessing of koi, there were not many rare products like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the whole mountain. It would be difficult for her to make a fortune in business by doing this in the long run.
It's better to make money by making sugar...
It just so happened that the business had expanded to the county town, so I brought my parents over. Shushan and Shulan were also studying in the county town! If it develops well, it would be better to go directly to Beijing. After all, the purchasing power of Beijing is not comparable to that of small counties!
Shen Shuyi held Chu Yi's hand tightly, "Let's go buy the tools for making sugar!"
Tile funnel...
Chu Yi followed, carrying ten kilograms of brown sugar.
Shen Shuyi was full of confidence. With the blessing of Koi luck, she could use the fine particles in the yellow mud water to absorb the impurities in the brown sugar, thereby achieving a decolorization effect and obtaining purer white sugar.
After buying all the tools, Chu Yi bought a bag of rice and held it in his hand. At this time, he heard the hawking of candied haws.
Shen Shuyi also heard it and held Chu Yi’s hand tightly, “I want to eat!”
"Okay, let's go buy it now." Chu Yi's tone was unconsciously doting, and he held her hand and walked forward.
Suddenly there was the sound of a crowd making noise ahead.
"Oh, this little girl got her tanghulu stuck in her throat!"
"Send it to the doctor quickly."
"It's impossible to save her. Look, her lips are turning purple and her eyes are rolling."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi hurried forward and said, “Let me see her.”
The little girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she was accompanied by two maids and a guard. The guard carried the girl on his back and ran towards the clinic.
"Don't make trouble, stop me. Do you know who my young lady is?!" The guards were angry and anxious. They were also responsible for the death of their master. The clinic was still a long way away, and it might be difficult to send her there...
"If we delay any longer, he will really be unable to be saved!" Shen Shuyi said coldly.
Chu Yi snatched the person from the guard and sent him to Shen Shuyi, and the guard was stopped by him when he moved forward.
He is tall and strong, so others dare not fight him.
Shen Shuyi took the little girl in front of him, her face was pale, her eyes were wide open, her hands instinctively pinched her neck, her throat made a faint "cluck" sound, her body was shaking and her legs were kicking.
She put her arms around her waist and made her lean forward slightly. Then, she clenched her right fist and placed her thumb precisely two fingers above the girl's navel. She clenched her right fist with her left hand and gathered all her strength, and struck the girl quickly and powerfully with both hands.
