However, he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Shao Qingyuan.
Liu Wei widened his eyes. “Shao Qingyuan, what are you doing?” As he spoke, he hid the jar behind his back, as if he was afraid that Shao Qingyuan would snatch it away.
He could defend against Shao Qingyuan, but not against Gu Yundong.
Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief when she immediately took the jar behind him.
Fortunately, Shao Qingyuan moved quickly. This Liu Wei was a fool. Before she could finish speaking, he wanted to shout everywhere. She really wanted to beat him up.
Liu Wei stretched out his hand. “Give it back to me.”
“What do you mean by give it back to you? This is mine!!” Could this person have any self-awareness?
Liu Wei was instantly dejected, but he quickly said energetically, “Then sell it to me. How much is this jar?”
Gu Yundong rolled her eyes. “I refined this candy, but I only have this one can.”
Liu Wei was stunned. “This, is it very difficult to make it?” Yes, it must be very, very difficult. He was considered to be from a knowledgeable family, but he had never seen such clean, sweet, and thin white sugar.
In that case, the Gu girl was simply a genius.
Moreover, there was only one jar of white sugar in this world. How expensive would such a rare thing be? Liu Wei counted his private savings in his heart, not knowing if it was enough.
But before he could calculate it, Gu Yundong shook his head. “It’s not that difficult.”
“Huh?”
Gu Yundong said, “I’ve been perfecting the process of making sugar for more than ten days. Previously, my technique was unstable and I did refine a lot of white sugar, but I was most satisfied with this jar.”
Before the apocalypse, she knew the process and method of making sugar and had tried before. However, at that time, there was a professional mentor guiding her. Moreover, the tools were ready-made.
Now that she was alone, whether it was sugarcane or other things, she had to prepare them from scratch.
It was not until she did it herself that she realized that she had forgotten some subtle steps, so she had to experiment again and again. Some steps were not that simple. If she was not careful, the white sugar refined would be very different from the ones in the jar now.
Fortunately, after more than ten days, she was used to it and there were no major problems.
Liu Wei understood and his eyes began to light up. “Since you said that there’s no problem, can you give me this jar of candy?”
“Not yet.”
“Why not?”
“One jar is too few. Back then, I said 20 catties at the grocery store. Don’t you want to show that Tao guy 20 catties? Secondly, do you think many people will want to get the formula and cause trouble for me if you go out with such white sugar now?”
Liu Wei was stunned. Beside him, Shao Qingyuan also frowned.
This last point was indeed a troublesome matter.
At that time, the Tao family would probably be the first to have ideas.
Liu Wei couldn’t help but pull his hair again. “Then what should we do?”
“I’m looking for a backer.” There was no patent now, but even if there was, it was useless to meet someone with power and influence.
Gu Yundong had learned her lesson from Peng Zhongfei. If he dared to take her blueprint for himself so blatantly, others would also do whatever they could when they saw the huge benefits in the white sugar.
Liu Wei nodded in agreement. Then, his eyes lit up. “With our Liu family as your backer, everyone in the county thinks that you’re mine.”
Shao Qingyuan suddenly looked at him.. What did he mean by “you’re mine”?
