Chapter 120: The Fang Zi Can't Be Left Behind
After Yuntao finished eating, she continued to stay in the room and study sugar making.
After being locked up in the house for seven or eight days, Yuntao finally figured out the method of drenching yellow mud with water and sugar.
Take the white sugar you made and put it in a bowl to show it to your parents.
"Mom and dad, look! I finally figured out how to make sugar!" Yuntao said happily.
She filled a bowl with the white sugar she made herself, and another bowl filled with the white sugar from the space.
On weekdays, when cooking or stewing sweet soup, some sugar should be added to enhance the flavor.
Yun Huachun took a look and saw that the color of the white sugar made by his daughter was close to the white sugar at home. The purity was a little worse than that, and it was also a little taller.
The sugar you made yourself clumps into lumps, so you probably need to grind it some more.
"How is it?" Yuntao asked happily.
Yun Huachun twisted it a little with his hands to taste it.
"As expected of my daughter, she is so amazing!" Yun Huachun praised.
Now that the method of making white sugar has been researched, the villagers will not have to worry about selling their crop of sugar cane.
"Have a good rest! You're all tired and thin!" Wan Hongmei said.
What she cares about is not whether her daughter can make sugar, she just wants her daughter to be well.
How bad it is for your health to lock yourself in a room for so long without coming out for air!
"Mom, it's good to lose weight!" Yuntao said with a smile.
Wan Hongmei disagreed with this and glanced at her daughter, but did not lecture her after all.
She knew that some girls considered thinness to be beautiful. She had seen many girls in the hospital who were seriously ill because they were too thin, or who had various problems in order to lose weight.
"Go take a hot bath and go out for a walk!" Wan Hongmei urged.
"I'll boil some water for you."
But he was thinking silently in his heart that he would definitely teach his daughter a lesson later.
Yuntao happily walked out of the yard, and the two puppies followed behind her, running happily.
Yuntao sat down directly on the big stone in the corner of the corridor and started teasing the dog.
When her mother called her to take a bath, she went to the house to pick up some clothes and entered the bathroom specially designed for bathing.
I took Yuntao out after taking a shower, had a meal, and the family sat in a nearby utility room for a meeting.
It is said to be a utility room, but it was actually a place originally built to accommodate guests.
The Yun family built two guest rooms, but they guessed that they wouldn't have guests coming to the house, so they didn't put anything like a bed. They just had a set of cabinets, tables and chairs.
I put some thick winter beddings and several small jars to prepare some pickles and pickles in the future.
The room is small, and it can't be kept warm by just setting up a stove.
It's also convenient to talk while the skylight is still there.
Yuntao pulled her wet hair, and then touched the steamed buns and fried dough sticks hanging around her.
"Tao'er, I don't think our family can keep this recipe for making sugar." Yun Huachun said with a serious face.
Yuntao blinked, not surprised.
"I know dad, I've known it for a long time."
She is still aware of how important sugar has been in history. During the lecture, the teacher even said with a smile that there have been many wars over this sugar.
From the Tang Dynasty to modern times...
Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty conquered an entire country by one man, just for the sugar recipe.
The evil slave trade was to sell black slaves to the Americas to grow cotton and sugar cane.
"...So I plan to let the villagers follow the recipe for a few days. At that time, before going out to sell it, I will go to the city and visit the prefect to donate this recipe." Yun Huachun said.
He had heard many stories about killing people for money and profit.
He knows better than anyone how much money can be earned from sugar.
Even if the entire village escapes, they are still ordinary civilians.
He will take sugar to the streets tomorrow to sell, but he doesn't know if he can get home safely at night.
No matter who you dedicate this sugar cube to, it would be safer to dedicate it to the prefect.
First of all, the prefect is the biggest official in the city, and he is in charge of everything.
Secondly, the development of white sugar can be regarded as a political achievement, and it is a good thing that comes to his door for free. Presumably the prefect will not turn him away.
"Okay, but Dad, don't forget about our preparations?" Yuntao said with a smile.
"What preparations are you doing?"
"You have to let the wall collapse a little, otherwise what will you do if you can't find an excuse?" Yuntao asked back.
The method of making sugar came about because the wall of the house collapsed.
What if the big guys come over and take a look and see that the wall is still fine?
Yun Huachun patted his head and said, "Okay, I'll demolish the wall right now!"
The family rushed outside again, preparing to attack the small earthen house next to the wooden house.
Yun Huachun clenched his fist and patted the loess wall. Good guy, it didn't move at all.
The villagers built it really solidly!
"I'll do it!" Wan Hongmei said consciously.
He made a ready position and pushed the wall with all his strength.
Finally, the wall began to shake.
After shaking for a few times, the wall finally fell.
Yun Huachun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"If we want to take out the candy recipes, our family will suffer a big loss!" Yuntao sighed.
I spent my own money to build an earth house, and now I have demolished it.
Not counting the time she spends studying, she also has to work hard to teach everyone.
Yuntao didn't feel that she had been taken advantage of by the villagers, but she just felt that her efforts were quite useless.
"Don't worry, daughter, just wait. Dad won't let them take advantage of our family in vain. I will definitely make all the money back." Yun Huachun said.
When Yuntao heard this, she thought of something.
"Dad, when will your school open?" Yuntao asked with a smile, and she definitely had no intention of forcing her father to open a school.
……this
This really put Yun Huachun in a bit of a dilemma.
"Don't worry about school matters. Let's wait until next year. There are too many things to do this year." Yun Huachun tried his best to put it off.
He really wants to make money with his own skills and support his children by himself.
"At least once these sweet potatoes are planted, the people in our village will become rich," Yun Huachun said.
The first class of students can only accept people from their own village, and he can't count on them in the city.
He picked up talents for nothing. In terms of knowledge, he felt that he was not knowledgeable enough and could not teach things such as imperial examinations. He could only enlighten others in a careless manner.
"I will teach casually in half an elementary school, kindergarten, etc., and then I will have the nerve to charge them tuition fees when they have money," Yun Huachun said.
"Okay, Dad, you can teach me when the time comes." Yuntao said with a smile.
"Studying for so many years is not enough!"
"It's not enough. I haven't read a few books here, and I'm still illiterate!" Yuntao complained.
"But I think our courtyard is a bit small. Should the school be set up farther out?"
"Xian'er also said that he will come to study then. If Xian'er comes, will one of our rooms have to be empty?"
"...No hurry, no hurry, let's talk tomorrow!" Yun Huachun said.
