Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the three children left, Qin Wenzheng said, “There’s a reply from the capital. The Emperor has agreed to your conditions. Moreover, the Emperor has also instructed that Lady Gu can create and sell as much as she wants. No one will come looking for trouble with you.”
Of course, the people here referred to those high-ranking officials and nobles who wanted a share on the surface, including people like the Tao family in the county.
However, Gu Yundong still had to pay attention to those despicable people. Qin Wenzheng would try his best to help.
This couldn’t be helped. Since he wanted to do business, he couldn’t avoid these troublesome things.
Not to mention Gu Yundong, even if it was someone like the Liu family, there would also be someone secretly causing trouble. They would even plant spies to disrupt the family’s business.
Gu Yundong knew that he was bringing her good news. She immediately nodded. “Then I’m relieved. Since it’s confirmed, do you want to see the process of making sugar?”
“Of course.” Qin Wenzheng was a little excited. He had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Gu Yundong brought them to the backyard. The place where sugar was made was in the backyard.
Shao Qingyuan was tidying up the sugarcane. When he saw them coming, he washed his hands and walked over.
Qin Wenzheng sized him up. Who was this person? What was his relationship with Gu Yundong? He looked tall and mighty, and his eyes were very cold. Just looking at him made people perk up for no reason.
Shao Qingyuan had never seen Qin Wenzheng before. When he accompanied Liu Wei to school, he only followed the butler to help bring the roe deers to the kitchen and then went out.
However, he knew about Qin Wenzheng. When Gu Yundong returned that day, she did not hide the conversation between him and Qin Wenzheng.
Gu Yundong introduced, “This is Shao Qingyuan. He’s my sugar business partner.”
“Partner?”
Gu Yundong nodded. “That’s right. Didn’t I tell you? In order to build this house, I spent all my money. Look, I can only find someone to partner with. I’m really poor.”
Qin Wenzheng:I don’t believe you.
He stopped dwelling on this matter. After nodding at Shao Qingyuan, he looked at the things in the courtyard.
Because it had not been refined in large quantities, there were only two sets of tools, and they were a little simple.
Qin Wenzheng went forward and touched it. Indeed, he felt a little white sugar and brown sugar. His hand was sticky, but it made him very excited.
“Quick, quickly refine it for me to see.” Qin Wenzheng looked a little impatient.
Gu Yundong went to take the apron, but just as she was about to put it on, she was stopped by Shao Qingyuan.
He took the apron from Gu Yundong’s hands. “I’ll do it. I’m very familiar with it anyway. Watch from the side and explain it to Master Qin.”
Gu Yundong thought about it and nodded. “Alright.”
Qin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly and did not say anything.
Shao Qingyuan quickly took the cane juice that he had squeezed previously and placed it in the vat to boil. When it turned into yellowish-black syrup, he poured it into the bucket and condensed it into black sugar.
Then, he placed a tile funnel on a vat and plugged the funnel with straw. He poured the black sugar into the funnel and waited for the black sugar to form a block before removing the straw. Then, he poured the black sugar in the funnel with yellow mud water. The black slag flowed from the funnel into the vat below. The black sugar in the funnel turned into white frost. The top layer was about five inches and was very white.
Qin Wenzheng did not speak from the beginning to the end. He watched everything as Shao Qingyuan refined the white sugar bit by bit, as if she was casting a spell. The originally black and red sugar actually became so fair after this process.
His expression became more and more excited..
