Chastity Layman

Qin Lang looked at Xu Jingzong's estimated price of Tianzhu frosted sugar at three hundred yuan a catty, and couldn't help feeling that it was a big pit. And when he saw the Tianzhu tribute frosting sugar in stock, he shook his head.

The so-called frosting sugar sounds like white granulated sugar that is as white as frost. In fact, the frosting grain is loessy in color, and the particles are not as well-proportioned as fine sand. The first half of the relationship.

But even such a thing is estimated to be worth three hundred yuan a catty, and according to what Xu Jingzong said, this thing is actually very popular, there is no market for the price, and if you eat more and resell it, you can make a fortune of.

Compared with the stone honey produced by Datang itself, that is, the locally produced sucrose, it is indeed much stronger. You must know that many of the stone honey sucrose produced in Datang still use the drying method. , The sugar produced by sun exposure is the same as the sun salt. The sugar produced by this rough method is naturally no better than the frosted sugar obtained by the three buddies decocting sugar and filtering.

Tang people like sugar, and sugar is even a luxury product. The sugar that ordinary people can eat is caramel, that is, maltose, and honey, but the amount of this is even less.

Maltose is naturally inferior to sucrose, especially sucrose, which is crystalline and granular, which is easier to preserve and easy to add in food production.

Even now, many doctors are using caramel as a medicinal material, saying that it can nourish qi and blood and so on.

But three hundred yuan a catty is really expensive, but it is just ordinary sugar made from sugarcane, and it sells for three hundred yuan a catty?

But Xu Jingzong also said that they are not expensive. After all, the Tianzhu people have exclusive technology for this thing, and their candy is naturally more sought after in the market, and everyone is willing to buy it.

Just like pepper, that thing is even more expensive than gold and silver, but aren't noble families rushing to buy it?

The Jiaozhi and Lingnan areas in Datang were also sugarcane growing areas, especially Jiaozhi, which has been a sugarcane producing area since the Han Dynasty, but the sugar production technology has been lagging behind.

But even the backward gray sugar produced by Jiaozhi in the Tang Dynasty sells for fifty yuan a catty, and the slightly better rough sugar can also sell for hundreds of yuan a catty, and Tianzhu's frosted sugar sells for three hundred yuan a catty , it’s not surprising, after all, other people’s sugar is better.

Qin Lang was thinking, this Tianzhu man is stealing money.

I also thought, is this sugar cane sugar method difficult? He used to have a girlfriend from Guangxi. At that time, his girlfriend was selling some ancient brown sugar from her hometown on WeChat. He also saw it in the local family sugarcane brown sugar workshops. Speaking of the techniques in these handicraft workshops at that time, It has long been an extremely backward technology, but people put the words "ancient handmade" on it, and it was immediately sought after by big girls and young wives in the circle of friends.

This so-called ancient method is actually very simple, and you will be able to read it a few times.

Even with that set of equipment and that set of technology, it can produce not only brown sugar, but also brown sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, and even flower sugar such as rose sugar and rock sugar, which is quite simple.

Some things are actually like this, separated by a layer of window paper.

For example, the so-called black, red and white sugar is just a different decolorization process, and the oldest decolorization process is actually the method of drenching white sugar with yellow mud and water in the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Lang recalled those small brown sugar workshops in Guangxi that he had visited before, and thought that he is now fully capable of purifying this frosting sugar into real frosting sugar.

The only question now is whether he wants to contribute this secret recipe, or keep it as the secret method of the Qin family?

Why don't you buy these Tianzhu frosted sugar yourself, then process and refine it into real white sugar, and then sell it to Tianzhu people?

"Give me a hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar."

Xu Jingzong immediately said, "Okay."

Seeing him like this, Qin Lang seemed to be planning to revise the account book and erase the hundred jin, so he had no choice but to say, "I'll get someone to send fifty thousand money to the account later."

"No need."

"Do I need to be greedy for this small gain?"

"That doesn't need five hundred and one catties."

"The candy transshipment company is going to sell it soon, so it's impossible to buy it at the purchase price." However, Qin Lang still said, "You should enter the 50,000 yuan in the account first, but don't be in a hurry to estimate and trade this batch of candy."

"Okay." Xu Jingzong didn't ask the reason.

Qin Lang sent someone to bring a hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar back to the Pingkangfang house, and immediately asked Ah Huang to find some reliable servants to help.

A hundred catties of sugar were poured into several pots in batches, and water was added to boil.

Ah Huang looked a little surprised, "Is this 50,000 worth of things ruined like this?"

Of course, Qin Lang couldn't waste these candies, he just wanted to make these candies reborn, and then double their worth. Tianzhu Frosted Sugar is remade in the pot, boiled into syrup, then poured into a bucket to condense, and then a jar is taken, and a tile funnel is placed on it, and the funnel is plugged with straw, and the condensed black and yellow sugar is poured into the funnel, etc. The sugar is coagulated into lumps, and the straw is removed, and the adjusted yellow mud water is poured on the black and yellow sugar in the funnel.

"oops!"

The servants patted their thighs in distress. Qin Lang poured a ladle of yellow muddy water on such expensive sugar, making it completely unrecognizable.

"Don't worry, the time to witness the miracle has come!" Qin Lang chuckled.

The black slag flowed from the funnel into the tank below, and the black and yellow sugar in the funnel turned into hoarfrost. The top layer was about five inches long, very white, really deceiving Frost Saixue!

"See, this is the real frosting!" Qin Lang wiped off his sweat when he saw it was successful.

Ah Huang and the others were already stunned and couldn't believe it.

Why did Tianzhu icing sugar turn into snow-white icing sugar after being drenched in yellow mud?

"How can this be?"

"Amazing!"

"Sanlang, are you using blindfolds?"

After the Tianzhu frosting sugar is decolorized, it turns into real frosting sugar. Even the black residue that has been washed away is actually not wasted. After re-operation, the black residue becomes brown sugar.

Qin Lang asked someone to add some ginger grains to the brown sugar, so it became ginger brown sugar.

The square and large pieces of ginger and brown sugar are placed on the plate, stacked like a mountain, and next to it is a bowl of crystal white white sugar.

Qin Lang tried each, the white granulated sugar was very sweet, and without impurities, it was very pleasing to the eye. However, from a scientific point of view, although such white sugar is pure, it is not as nutritious as brown sugar. As for the brown sugar, it is actually the leftovers after purification. This kind of brown sugar is actually worse than the directly made brown sugar. After all, the real brown sugar has not been refined and has all the nutrients, and this ginger brown sugar is refined by Qin Lang. The product after white sugar is less sweet and has impurities, but after adding ginger, it has another flavor.

"Fire!"

"?" Ah Huang and the others didn't understand why they had to start a fire, and the five hundred catties of frosting sugar had already been processed.

Qin Lang poured a pot of high-quality white sugar into the pot again.

Redissolve, clean, recrystallize...

After several trials, Qin Lang finally got what he wanted, large granules of rock candy.

Ah Huang touched the rock sugar that seemed to be magnified countless times, and wondered, "How did this change?"

Five hundred catties of Tianzhu Frosted Sugar, after three days of tinkering with Qin Lang, finally turned into one hundred catties of white rock sugar, two hundred catties of white granulated sugar, and three hundred catties of old ginger and brown sugar, and there was an extra one hundred catties .

This is of course due to the addition of a lot of ginger, and the purification itself will not reduce anything.

"Pack each one catty, give me ten boxes each."

Qin Lang brought these things back to the Transshipment Department, Xu Jingzong reported that he had almost reached an agreement with the Hu people on the matter of giving back, and now Tianzhu's frosting sugar was temporarily put on hold because of Qin Lang's order.

"Those Tianzhu people are already a little dissatisfied, and urged us to estimate the price earlier, so that they can choose a reward."

Most of these Tianzhu merchants have already selected the rewards, but because the transshipment department has not yet evaluated their frosting sugar, so this reward cannot complete the transaction, and they are a little anxious.

"Mr. Xu can ask them to come over, I want to talk to them about this in person."

After the Tianzhu envoys were brought, Qin Lang directly took out his new product and placed it in front of these people.

In fact, the Tianzhu continent has never been a unified country in history. This continent has always been in constant disputes, and the flames of war are difficult to settle. Even in the Gupta Dynasty, which was wiped out by the White Huns, it actually only occupied most of the northern part of the Tianzhu continent.

Later, after the Yanda Dynasty established by the White Huns was wiped out by the Western Turks and Persian Sasanians, Tianzhu was split into dozens of forces, and finally fought for many years, forming four kingdoms and forming two major military alliances. There are many small countries scattered around, vassals of the four countries.

During the years when the Sui Dynasty collapsed and the Tang Dynasty was established, the four kingdoms of the two northern alliances of the Tianzhu Continent also launched an annexation war. In the end, King Tanisha later succeeded King Mukri, and the two countries merged to form the Kingdom of Jieri. .

Since then, King Jieri established his capital in Qunu City, and wiped out countless small countries in the north. The two countries of Gundam and Bramo in the east are at a disadvantage. Jieri Kingdom has become the strongest kingdom in the north of Tianzhu.

But at this time, there are still more than a dozen kingdoms on the continent of Tianzhu, not to mention, the Jieri Kingdom is actually just an alliance. The enfeoffment system he implemented has enabled dozens of princes in the Jieri Kingdom to have a high degree of autonomy Therefore, although the Jieri Kingdom is powerful, it is not a real centralized dynasty.

These understandings of Qin Lang were actually told by Xu Jingzong.

This news helped him a bit, because in this way, Tianzhu Frost Sugar would not be owned by one family, but by multiple countries, and the business would be easier to negotiate.

"Everyone can take a look, this is real frosting sugar. This is the latest frosting sugar developed by my Tang Dynasty. It is as white as frost. In addition, this is even better rock sugar, as crystal clear as ice!"

Qin Lang showed his new product to Ah San buddies.

When these people saw Qin Lang's new product, they were all shocked.

He was even astonished. This time the Tianzhu countries came to pay tribute, and the most valuable commodity among them was this Tianzhu frosted sugar. Unexpectedly, Datang actually had better sugar.

"Everyone might as well try it!"

Qin Lang saw their shock and suspicion, smiled and pushed Tang in front of them.
