Chapter 42 Half of the teaching and half of thanks!

The bosses immediately dispatched the servants and went home to collect the money. Shen An started to prepare with a smile. It would have been over this long ago.

After boxes after boxes of copper coins were carried through the door, Shen An's preparations were almost completed. He asked the bosses to gather at the door of the kitchen, while he put on his apron and started a series of operations.

Until the double-layered boiler appeared, some smart people have figured out the way.

It turned out that Shen An's performance that day was a complete lie to them. Real rock candy could not be made using the method that day.

"The method is rather complicated. I advise you to find a piece of paper and write it down so that you can go back and review it again."

After he reminded them, everyone remembered that they couldn't remember these steps without copying or writing. They all found paper and pen and leaned on the wall to write and draw.

Ah Qian and the others also responded in time and set up futons and desks for the bosses. Everyone thanked them quickly and turned to their desks to write pictures.

During production, the bosses diligently asked various questions about the process, and they could be the most serious students if they wanted to.

Shen An was very pleased to see their eagerness to learn. He wanted to make money, and it was also his wish to promote the industrial development of Datang.

The day the experiment was successful, he didn't want to keep the secret recipe secret. Now he had the best of both worlds.

He put the rock candy on the hot bed and wrapped it in a quilt. The fat boss asked in surprise: "Do you still need a quilt?"

"Of course, this is a very important step, everyone must pay attention." The crowd came together, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, trying my best to stretch my head forward.

He counted the time and felt that the temperature had almost dropped, so he asked the fat boss to step forward and test the heat of the syrup.

"Ouch!" Although the fat boss was thick-skinned, he was still badly burned.

"It burned me to death!"

Shen An smiled: "Just boil it. The sugar liquid must be cooked. The next step is the cooling process."

"Everyone, please note that if you have a Tukang at home, you must put the rock sugar plate on the Tukang and cover it with a quilt to keep it warm."

"Every day, we have to ensure that the temperature of the rock sugar drops a little, but does not become completely cold. This is very important. Only by continuing this cycle for seven days can the rock sugar crystallize into blocks."

Several bosses seemed to understand but just nodded.

No matter what, they really learned how to make rock candy today, and their financial resources were opened up.

After the bosses left, Ah Qian counted the copper coins and found that they were indeed ten coins. When the money arrived, he was not happy.

"Lang Jun, how much money did we spend to make rock candy, and now we only make a profit? It's really not cost-effective!"

This kid's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger.

A full ten thousand dollars, and he was still not satisfied.

"Don't worry, money is earned bit by bit. Don't worry, they will come back in two days!"

It's not that easy to master a skill. If you miss it, it's a huge difference. Only a modern person like him can master the secret of cooling rock sugar. When they suffer setbacks one after another, they will come to him again for advice. Then it will not be easy to increase the price. .

Ah Qian snapped his fingers, and then he understood Shen An's foresight. Ever since he escaped from death this time, his master has become more and more clever. If you follow him, you will have trouble in the future.

Furong also came to the courtyard carrying a basket filled with Chinese New Year leeks.

The long green leaves were carefully stroked by an onion hand, and she hummed a little tune while picking vegetables.

Tonight we are going to eat locust leaf soup cakes. Pork and leeks are used as fillings, and the dough is shaped into the shape of a locust leaf. Everyone has seen Shen An's cooking skills these days. It is really exquisite.

Therefore, a young lady like Furong, who used to have her roots in the kitchen, could feel comfortable taking a back seat and could only do odd jobs.

"Lang Jun, there are obviously so many rock candies in the warehouse, why don't we sell them to them?"

"Yes!" She didn't mention it, and Ah Qian almost forgot about it.

"It's been made a long time ago. If you keep it there if you don't use it, it will get moldy!" he reminded.

Looking at their frightened faces, Shen An didn't care.

"What's the rush?"

"When they can't make rock candy and there's no supply, then sell it to them. By then, the price will more than double."

Just because he wanted to lure them into taking the bait step by step, Shen An always said half to keep, half to teach, and half to hide.

So far, it seems that although there are occasional missteps, overall the plan is going very smoothly.

…………

The jingle bells of the horse came and went, and Shen An's work for the day was over, and he could spend the rest of the time as he pleased.

It is almost May, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. The wind on the street is no longer chilly, but blowing gently makes people feel comfortable.

ah!

What a good time!

I took a group of three to five young girls and rode a five-flowered horse on an outing in the mountains and woods.

Shen An stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the crowds of people on the street, and suddenly had this idea.

Before he could lift his legs, this playmate arrived at his door.

He saw a sturdy red horse parked in front of the door. He raised his eyes and realized that he was going to see this every day.

The visitor is naturally Fang Yiai.

Even though Fang Yiai was only one year older than Shen An, he was half a head taller than him. He looked down at Shen An from top to bottom, and was very imposing.

Shen An's mouth froze: "Erlang, you came so early!"

"That's right, we can't do it sooner!" Fang Yiai crossed his legs and jumped off the horse.

He held the riding crop in his hand and had no intention of entering.

"Mr. Shen, the weather is nice today. Let's go to the city to have some fun."

"I know a lot of good places to play. I couldn't take you there because you were weak before. It's better now." He squeezed Shen An's shoulders and looked stronger than before.

"Your body and bones are healed, and we can finally have a good time drinking and talking!"

His invitation made Shen An feel itchy. Fang Er was known as Fang Batian, which showed that he was also a leader in the dandy circles of the capital.

The places he introduced were all places of sensuality and sensuality. Shen An rubbed his hands in great anticipation.

He hasn't had a chance to see the singing in Chongrenfang or the cute little girl in Pingkangfang.

Although the playmate is not a young lady, the second roommate is still okay.

As soon as they left, Shen An rented a dappled horse at the entrance of the square, and the two of them went to Zhuque Street.

One hundred and eight miles of Chang'an City, with Zhuque Street as the dividing line, the east is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and the west is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

The two of them were riding on their horses and were not in a hurry to go inside the inner square. In Chang'an City, except for the east and west cities, all the major squares would open their gates when the drums sounded, and people could walk freely in the city without restrictions.

A camel caravan passed by them, brown camels with big hooves, moving slowly and carrying loads of goods on their backs.

Chang'an City was prosperous and prosperous, and merchants from all over the world gathered here. People were buying and selling, and commerce was prosperous.

The leader of the camel team was a barbarian with red eyebrows and beard. Fang Yiai took one look at it and said: "I heard that it is a mission from the Kushan Kingdom. This business has been started before I meet His Majesty. It’s really fast.”
