Who would have thought that Yu Niang would react so violently...
But Li Yuanjing quickly calmed down.
This 'yellow mud water drenching method' comes from the magical sugar making method recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu".
Not to mention ancient times, even in the 1980s during the reform and opening up period, some small workshops and sugar factories in the countryside were still using this method to analyze white sugar.
Including Li Yuanjing himself has done experiments.
He has strong confidence in this.
Smiling, he held Yu Niang in his arms and said:
"Girl, why are you crying? How about we make a bet."
"If my trick works later, please promise me one thing. If my trick doesn't work, can I, Li Yuanjing, do whatever you want?"
"this……"
Yuniang was a little confused for a moment. She looked at Li Yuanjing and then into the dirty funnel. She obviously didn't know what to choose.
after all.
Although she felt sorry for Li Yuanjing who had just 'squandered' these expensive brown syrups, Li Yuanjing's behavior these days made her feel faintly...
Her brother is no longer the unreliable person he used to be.
"Tick tock, tick tock."
Just as the two were entangled, the big funnel finally started to operate.
There were sparse black water droplets at the bottom, slowly flowing down into the barrel.
immediately.
The flow rate is obviously accelerating.
This made Li Yuanjing unable to help but let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Yu Niang's delicate red lips greedily and said:
"Girl, how about it? Do you want to make this bet with your brother?"
Yuniang's pretty face couldn't help but blush.
She is a woman after all, and she has already vaguely felt something...
but.
But he still didn't respond to Li Yuanjing. His two little hands were tightly intertwined, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Yuanjing smiled and was not in a hurry. He held Yu Niang's waist and waited patiently.
Not long after.
The water drops in the funnel are getting faster and faster, and they have gradually begun to reveal the shape of the syrup on the upper part of the funnel.
"Brother, this, this, this..."
And this time.
The beautiful girl in Li Yuanjing's arms stiffened instantly. She straightened her back subconsciously and widened her beautiful eyes. It was as if she had seen a miracle. She looked into the funnel in disbelief. She couldn't say anything she wanted to say.
I saw——
In the upper part of the funnel, after the dirty water receded, the originally dark red brown syrup sediment had turned into a snow-white mass.
If it’s not the legendary ‘Snow Sugar’, what is it?
"hey-hey."
Li Yuanjing felt indescribably proud and contented at this time. He took out his ears and said to Yu Niang:
"Girl, just now, who said that I was wasting a good thing?"
"Brother, this, this, this..."
Yu Niang's little face was so red that she was almost dripping with water. She was shy and excited at the same time, and her whole little body became hot.
At this time, Li Yuanjing was not willing to tease her anymore. He took a little warm sugar with a spoon, put it on Yu Niang's delicate red lips and said:
"Come on, girl, have a taste. Is this any different from the snow candy my parents brought back before?"
Yu Niang stuck out her cute little tongue and carefully tasted the fresh sugar. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she said in disbelief:
"Brother, it's so sweet, so sweet. It's even sweeter than what my parents brought back. Mother Yu has never tasted such sweet snow candy in her life."
"Brother, these snow candies weigh a pound. Are they really ours?"
…
The next day.
The first ray of sunlight shone into his eyes, and Li Yuanjing opened his eyes habitually.
In arms.
Yuniang is as sweet as the person in the painting, sleeping soundly.
However.
Feeling Li Yuanjing's movements, her long eyelashes began to flutter uncontrollably, quickly betraying her true state.
This little girl seems to have woken up.
"mua"
Li Yuanjing kissed her pretty face hard and said with a smile:
"Girl, stop pretending, brother won't tease you today. By the way, don't forget what I told you last night. First follow what I taught you and try making some crispy fish."
During the conversation.
Li Yuanjing got up and quickly cleaned up.
Now that the sugar is ready, he must quickly find a channel to cash it in.
He asked Yu Niang last night.
Even if Xue Dashan's usury money will not be repaid until the fifth day of next month, this year's autumn taxes will start to be paid tomorrow.
In the past, it would have been fine if it took two days.
But there were Xue Dashanren, Lao Guadiao, Wang Cuihua, Hou Wu and other lackeys keeping an eye on Quanzi Village. If Li Yuanjing was not prepared, there was a chance that something would happen to them.
"elder brother."
"Why don't you go out to collect dry firewood today? But you have to pay the autumn tax tomorrow. Our family has to pay at least one tael of silver..."
Seeing that Li Yuanjing was about to go out, Yu Niang became a little anxious and ran over wearing a brand new sheepskin coat and said.
"One tael of silver?"
Li Yuanjing suddenly smiled and kissed Yu Niang's pretty face. Then, like a magic trick, he took out at least one, two, two or three coins from his pocket and handed it to Yu Niang's hand:
"Take this first. If you don't have enough, ask for it from me."
"Hey? Brother, this..."
When Mu Ran saw the white and heavy silver fruit appearing in his hand, Yu Niang was completely dumbfounded.
This is silver, not big money.
Could it be that... can my brother really do magic tricks...
…
After bidding farewell to Yu Niang who was still in a dazed state, Li Yuanjing pushed the chicken bus to the door, where Zhang Kun was already waiting.
Looking at this, it was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Li Yuanjing coming out, he quickly shouted respectfully:
"My boss..."
Seeing that Zhang Kun's condition was much better than yesterday, Li Yuanjing put down the chicken bus, smiled and patted his shoulder and said:
"Brother Zhang, is it okay to go on a long trip with me today?"
Zhang Kun was overjoyed and nodded quickly:
"No problem, no problem boss..."
With that said, he rushed to push the chicken bus, but Li Yuanjing actually didn't compete with him.
Then Li Yuanjing came to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
After all, I have always been a weak scholar in the past. Although I have improved in the past few days, this obviously requires a process.
And Zhang Kun, even though he lost an arm, was still a soldier from Liaodong. His skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
"Brother Zhang, please wait a moment."
Seeing Zhang Kun pushing the chicken bus, he could barely maintain his balance, but after losing one of his arms, his balance ability was poor. Even though there were only a few fish in the sack of the chicken bus, he was still struggling.
Li Yuanjing went directly to the yard and came out with some hemp rope after a while.
Turn around.
Li Yuanjing directly tied the hemp rope to the two handles of the chicken bus, then put it around Zhang Kun's neck, and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhang, try again."
"My mother, boss, this is really a magic trick. Why didn't I think of it before..."
Zhang Kun put a hemp rope around his neck when he pushed the chicken bus, and his balance ability naturally improved to a whole new level. He admired Li Yuanjing for a while and really wanted to kowtow to Li Yuanjing.
Li Yuanjing felt secretly happy.
People in ancient times are still simple and honest.
Just such a small trick, I'm afraid it has already established a lot of prestige in Zhang Kun's heart.
After carefully helping Yu Niang lock the courtyard door, Li Yuanjing stopped writing and directly greeted Zhang Kun and set off for Dagou Village!
That's right.
The breakthrough for Li Yuanjing's realization of his first bag of sugar came from Li Laoshi's old friend, Wang Youdao, a foreman who was obviously very energetic. This chapter has been completed!
