Because it is expensive and the preparation method is complicated, even if the sweetness is higher, not many people use light and high sugar. More ordinary people still like to eat candy.

The reason why light high sugar was not widely popularized in the Tang Dynasty was that it was not easy to preserve.

It is easy to melt, stain, and infest insects. Therefore, in this era, this kind of white and soft sugar is still a high-end food and is rarely used by ordinary families.

"Can you sell me a bag of this?"

"You want to buy light high sugar?" The boss was surprised.

This thing is expensive and impractical. If he didn't need to make high-end bilo, he wouldn't buy it. The young man looked polite and asked what was the use of this thing.

"Yeah, what do you think? Let's make a price."

"This..." The boss looked back and saw that this light sugar was only a little more than a bucketful.

"I've never sold anything before."

"Okay, how much did you spend on this pack?"

"One hundred articles."

"Then I'll give you fifty cents, and you'll see if you like it or not."

Furong pulled his sleeve, but he ignored it. Compared with the money he would earn in the future, this investment was nothing.

"Okay, I'll give it all to you!"

The boss happily tied up the cloth bag and handed it to Shen An. In fact, there was not even half of the candy left. He made a lot of money from this transaction.

Shen An's actions also successfully attracted the attention of customers. Everyone was whispering to each other, and they were all talking about what this young man was planning to do after buying so much light high sugar at one time.

The two of them came out, and Fleur hugged Biro, her mouth pouting so much that she could hang a kettle on it.

"Don't worry, I can make this money back in the future."

"Fu Rong doesn't mean to complain about you, but she just doesn't understand why you bought so much light high sugar?"

"Even if you want to cook, you won't need so much!"

"I didn't buy it for cooking, but for making rock sugar." Shen An said calmly.

What is rock candy?

What is research and development?

These words were extremely unfamiliar to Furong, so she could only follow Shen An step by step, not daring to make any mistakes.

They visited a jewelry store and bought a silver hairpin for Furong. Furong resisted at first and said she didn't want it, but in the end, she stuck it in her head obediently.

Seeing that she was satisfied, Shen An felt relieved.

This little girl will accompany him through life and death. As long as it makes her happy, it doesn't matter if he spends a few more dollars.

"Does it look good?" Furong shook her head, looking cute and cute. "It looks good." Shen An said truthfully.

In front of her was a small shop specializing in gold and stone raw materials. Furong walked to the door and poked her head curiously.

What is Lang Jun doing in a place like this?

Can these things also make money?

The owner of the Jinshi Store was a tall and thin old man with a fairy-like appearance and a long beard hanging down. He walked towards Shen An with squinted eyes.

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

The goods in the store are very complete. The so-called gold and stone materials are all kinds of mineral raw materials needed for Taoist alchemy.

For example, cinnabar, lead, sulfur, etc.

The goods here are very complete. Basically, you can find all the raw materials you can think of. There are some samples on the counter, and each one is placed on a small ceramic plate and displayed one by one.

This boss is quite knowledgeable, Shen An sneered.

Many ore raw materials are flammable, and ceramics are good materials for heat insulation and fire protection. Shen An approached a small light green plate and picked up a handful of white powder.

"Sir, do you want alum?" The boss came over.

"yes."

"I want three taels."

Shen An is not sure whether the experiment will be successful. One pound of white sugar solution and about fifty grams of alum solution can make rock sugar.

Three taels is enough, but he is not yet sure whether the experiment will be successful. When the technology matures, he can buy large amounts of raw materials.

Finally, he bought another liter of sesame oil from the condiment store. Fu Rong was even more confused as she carried these unrelated things.

I want to see what strange things Shen An can conjure up.

In order to make money while also making the court speechless, Shen An has put a lot of thought into it. He has already thought of a perfect strategy, which should be able to successfully break through.

The two of them rushed back to Shanhefang with large and small bags. Before they could put down their things, the door opened from the inside.

A young face appeared: "Lang Jun, you are back!"

"Ada!"

Ah Da took the packages and put them into the house one by one. Shen An saw that there were five people gathered in the yard, all about twenty years old.

They were all familiar faces, probably some of the helpers who had been released before.

"We heard that Lang Jun has recovered, so we wanted to come back and help."

"Although the head of the family has released us, we have all worked in the Shen Mansion for many years. We are really not used to it and feel uncomfortable when we go out."

"If Mr. Lang doesn't mind, we are willing to come back and work." Under the leadership of A Da, several other people also expressed their stance.

Shen An didn't say anything about their actions. He was short of helpers here. Last night he was discussing with Furong to get them all back, but today they came back first.

News spreads fast enough.

The five people plus the young man Ada are almost enough. There is no need to find others. Shen An faced everyone and said generously: "My father let you go. I don't want to go against my father's wishes. From now on, you can join the government to help. I will no longer let you become slaves. You will be free later and I will pay you monthly."

Several people agreed at once, and those who cleaned and chopped firewood all went to work on their own.

They were slaves here, and they were more familiar with the affairs of the family than Shen An, so Shen An stopped caring about them and started making syrup.

The quality of the white sugar produced in this era was naturally not as good as the industrial products of later generations. You can see a lot of impurities with just the naked eye.

The color was also yellowish. Shen An washed his hands and carefully picked out the impurities.

Next, Shen An poured about a pound of sugar into a small jar. Furong fetched well water and timidly placed the bucket next to him.

Fu Rong still had a mental obstacle to using the water from the royal well without permission. Shen An ignored her and just took it for granted. She would get used to it when she used it more often.

He scooped up a ladle of water and slowly added it to the sugar. Furong felt terribly distressed. This was all money. How could Lang Jun waste it like this?

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Shen An was still adding water, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I won't waste any of it."

"After a few days, I promise to return all these candies to you."

Furong pursed her lips and didn't believe it at all. Shen An stirred the sugar water in his hand and said to her: "Go, light up the stove."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he prepared some more saturated alum solution.

Although the software in the kitchen is lacking, the hardware is still very complete.

There is a double-layered steamer for steamed buns and sesame oil.
