Chapter 179 Let me come
After all three children left, Qin Wenzheng said, "There is a reply from the capital, the emperor agrees to your conditions, and the emperor also explained that although Miss Gu is selling, no one will come to trouble you."
Of course, the people here are those dignitaries who want a share of the pie, including those in the county town such as the Tao family.
However, those younger generation still have to pay attention to Gu Yundong himself, and help Qin Wenzheng as much as he can.
This is something that can’t be helped. Since you want to do business, you can’t avoid these troubles.
Not to mention Gu Yundong, even if it is like the Liu family, there are people who secretly make trouble, and even arrange spies and the like to interfere with their family business.
Gu Yundong knew that he brought good news to him, and nodded immediately, "Then I can rest assured. Now that it is confirmed, does Master Qin go to see the process of sugar making?"
"Of course." Qin Wenzheng was a little excited, but he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Gu Yundong took them to the backyard, where the sugar-making place is now.
Shao Qingyuan was arranging sugar canes over there at the moment, and when he saw them coming, he washed his hands and walked over.
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him, who is this person? What's the relationship with Gu Yundong? He looks tall and majestic, and his eyes are still very cold, and looking at it makes people feel a little bit of spirit for no reason.
Shao Qingyuan had never met Qin Wenzheng. When he accompanied Liu Wei to the school, he just followed the housekeeper to help the roe deer to the kitchen, and then went out.
But he knew about Qin Wenzheng. When Gu Yundong came back that day, he did not hide the conversation between him and Qin Wenzheng.
Gu Yundong introduced, "This is Shao Qingyuan, and I partnered with him in the sugar business."
"Partnership??"
Gu Yundong nodded, "Yeah, didn't I say it? To build this house, I don't have any money at all. No, I can only find a partner. I'm really poor."
Qin Wenzheng, "..." I believe in your evil.
He no longer bothered about this matter, and after nodding to Shao Qingyuan, he looked at the things in the yard.
Because it has not been refined a lot, there are only two sets of tools, and they are a bit rudimentary.
Qin Wenzheng stepped forward and touched it. He did touch a little white sugar and brown sugar. His hands were sticky, but he was very excited.
"Quick, you can refine it for me to see." Qin Wenzheng seemed impatient.
Gu Yundong went to get the apron, but Shao Qingyuan stopped him when he was about to put it on.
He took the apron from Gu Yundong's hand, "I'll come, anyway, I'm very skilled, you can watch and tell Master Qin."
Gu Yundong thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright."
Qin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.
Shao Qingyuan quickly took the sugarcane juice that had been squeezed before, put it in a vat and boiled it with fire, waited until it turned into a yellow-black syrup, poured it into the vat and condensed it into black sand sugar.
Then place a tile funnel on a vat, plug the leak with straw, pour the brown sugar into the funnel, wait for the brown sugar to form lumps, then remove the straw, and then use the yellow mud water to drench the brown sugar in the funnel. The **** flows from the funnel into the tank below, and the funnel brown sugar turns into hoarfrost. The top layer is about five inches long, very white.
Qin Wenzheng didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and watched Shao Qingyuan extract the white sugar little by little, as if he was changing magic, the black and red black sugar, after such a process, turned out to be so white.
His expression became more and more excited.
The process of refining white sugar is taken from the records of "Tian Gong Kai Wu" in the Ming Dynasty.
