The yellow mud water-drench sugar method has been successfully tested initially.

In just one afternoon, all the work that previously took two or three days was completed.

And the quality of the white sugar produced is better.

This also means that Zhao Ce can now achieve small-scale mass production of white sugar at home.

The problem to be solved now is.

He cannot buy raw sugar in large quantities directly from the grocery store in town.

And this sugar cannot be sold directly in grocery stores in large quantities.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be targeted.

After all, scholars, farmers, and merchants have clear responsibilities.

Zhao Ce is now a farmer and wants to do this kind of business.

It is definitely not safe if someone is watching you.

Not to mention, there are so many of his former classmates in the city.

If this matter was exposed, it would probably not be as simple as being expelled from school.

He may also face jail time.

Entering an ancient prison is no joke.

Your life will be lost in every minute.

So Zhao Ce has been thinking about it these days.

Zhao Wensheng works as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the city.

There are many snacks in restaurants, all of which can use sugar.

I wonder if his restaurant has enough financial resources to purchase its own sugar?

If Zhao Wensheng was there to cover it, it would be much easier for Zhao Ce to keep his own business.

Zhao Ce remembered when he was in modern times.

I have heard of the city where he is.

There is a family who made their fortune by making sugar.

Later he directly became the richest man in that city.

Therefore, the sugar business can definitely last for a long time.

Then wait until he has accumulated more money.

He can just make a small workshop at home.

If you go to study by yourself, you can ask others to help you with the work.

In the future, when he obtains the imperial examination, he can buy slaves to take care of his workshop and business.

Sugar is also tolerant.

This business scope can be expanded a lot.

Zhao Ce had planned it well in his mind.

Now he needs to find a supplier who can temporarily supply him with raw sugar.

Early the next morning.

Had breakfast.

I took out all the sugar I packed up last night and dried it.

Zhao Ce then said to the little girl, "I'm going to my uncle's house."

"Ask anyone in the nearby villages who grows sugar cane and knows how to make raw sugar."

Su Cai'er nodded and said, "Then I'll dig out more yellow mud and bring it back."

The young couple went their separate ways.

Zhao Ce was still holding a small bag of sugar in his hand.

Arrive at Zhao Youcai's house.

Now is the busy time for farming.

Zhao Youcai and Zhao Wenhao went out early and worked in the fields.

Even Zhao Wenhua, who was about to go to school, followed them to work in the fields.

Only Ms. Li and her little daughter were at home.

When Li saw Zhao Ce coming over this time, she didn't know what Zhao Youcai said to her, and her expression was much gentler than last time.

She opened the door for Zhao Ce, and then said directly: "Your uncle and others have gone to work in the fields."

"What happened when you came here today?"

Zhao Ce first handed over the sugar in his hand.

Mrs. Li quickly declined and refused to accept the offer.

"Your farm is gone, so just keep these good things and sell them for money."

Zhao Ce said seriously: "I have received so much help from you, auntie."

"This is a small thank you gift that should be given."

Li still refused to accept it.

She is well aware of the conditions in Zhao Ce's family.

Only the two acres of low-grade farmland were left.

This year we haven't produced any grain at all.

Zhao Ce said directly: "If the aunt doesn't accept it, then I will be embarrassed to ask."

After saying that, he pretended to turn around and leave.

Li had no choice but to say: "You kid, you are always so stubborn."

Seeing Mrs. Li accepting the sugar, Zhao Ce smiled and revealed his purpose.

Zhao Youcai knew a lot of things.

But as a woman, Li's intelligence network was even more powerful.

She probably knows more gossip than Zhao Youcai.

When Li heard that it was about the business in Zhao Ce's hands, she also took it seriously.

She thought about it and realized that their village was upstream of the river.

Walking downstream, perhaps passing a few villages, I heard that there was a person from a well-off family who was indeed skilled in the art of making sugar.

Mrs. Li said: "This aunt has indeed heard of it."

When Zhao Ce heard that there was something going on, he quickly acted like he was all ears.

"Start from our village to the west and keep walking along the road."

"It's about an hour's journey."

"That village seems to be called Xiahe Village. There is a family in it who built a large blue-brick house."

"I heard that my family has sugar-making skills."

Zhao Ce nodded.

This really helped, I quickly thanked Ms. Li.

Li waved her hands, feeling a little uncomfortable at Zhao Ce's sudden courtesy, but also feeling relieved.

Thinking of what she heard yesterday about Zhao Ce's family's fields, Li asked again: "Can we help you with your family's fields?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."

"But it won't be necessary for the time being. My wife will take care of it at home."

Mrs. Li heard him mention the little wife at home so naturally.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect that your relationship is quite good."

"I thought you would only consider getting married after passing the imperial examination."

Recalling the way Zhao Ce had his eyes above his head in the past, Li thought that he would not get married before he obtained the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, he actually brought back a small bean sprout.

He's still so interested in her.

Zhao Ce said with some embarrassment: "It feels different to have someone at home."
