"A tael of silver and a tael of sugar?!" Zhao Hao was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"Of course!" The shopkeeper and the guys in the store all looked at Zhao Hao with idiotic eyes, obviously this is common sense.

Zhao Hao was stunned, remembering that Xiao Zhao Hao drank white sugar water and ate white sugar buns all day long, and then he had a deeper understanding of the previous rich life.

'Hate can't it be my ......' Zhao Hao rubbed his chest distressedly, and then asked in a lost voice: "Why is it so expensive?" ”

At this time, a middle-aged fat man wearing a navy blue satin straight jacket and a black silk six-fold hat with a smile on his lips came out of the curtain and smiled at Zhao Hao:

"This son. Nanjing is the capital of the first good, rich in the world, only one or two hundred catties of sugar a year into the market, do you say expensive? ”

"It's only two or three thousand taels of silver after buying it all, there are so many rich people in Nanjing City, how can they not afford to eat it?" Zhao Hao still couldn't understand.

"It's not that I can't afford to eat, but I can't buy it even if I have money." The fat man should be the owner of this shop, I saw him hand the teapot in his hand to the guy, and took the wooden box with his hand. Reopened it and showed it to Zhao Hao: "Look carefully." What does this frosting look like? ”

"Frosting, of course like frost." Zhao Hao was powerless to complain about this idiotic problem.

"Not bad. This substance is a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of brown sugar after it has been boiled and cooled. Then gently scrape it off with a special bamboo strip, and a thousand catties of brown sugar can produce this tael. The fat owner smiled and said: "In the entire Ming Dynasty, less than 500 catties a year are produced, and 100 catties of tribute have to be paid to the palace." So money can't buy ......"

The fat owner was chattering on the side, but Zhao Hao couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This time, it wasn't fear, but great excitement!

Looking at the frosting that was cherished and held in the palm of his hand, and then looking at the brown sugar that was randomly piled up at the door of the store, Zhao Hao shouted wildly in his heart:

'That's it! ’

。

Zhao Hao finally thought of a simple and fast way to make money!

I thought that the people of this era had mastered this simple method. After all, there is a clear record in the great scientific book published 70 years later. But through the conversation in the South Goods Store, he was pleasantly surprised to find that at least at the moment, no one knew about it!

Then God will reward me! ’

Zhao Hao excitedly thanked the other party for his explanation, resisted the urge to buy brown sugar on the spot, and stumbled out of the southern store.

The fat owner handed over the sugar box to the guy to put it away, looked at Zhao Hao's back strangely, and muttered in a low voice: "What is this kid excited about?" ”

Zhao Hao deliberately walked a few more miles, came to a sugar shop on Baotai Street, took out two taels of silver that he regarded as his life, and bought five catties of brown sugar. I went to the grocery store next door, talked to the shopkeeper, and used the remaining copper plate on my body to buy a huge wooden funnel for brewing, and rushed home.

By the time he got home, it was already dark, and all he could hear was the tinkling of the yard.

Zhao Hao entered the door and saw that Gao Wu was reinstalling the fallen door back to the door frame with the cooperation of Zhao Shouzheng.

Seeing his son come in, Zhao Shouzheng said with a smile: "Fanglin has his own high morality, Gao Zhuangshi came to help repair the doors, windows, tables and chairs after noon, and also helped repair the broken bed in the east room." ”

"Brother Gao, thank you so much." Zhao Hao almost burst into tears when he heard this, and now he finally didn't have to squeeze on the same bed with Zhao Shouzheng and listen to him snoring.

Gao Wu drove the last few nails into the door frame. Only then did he say slowly: "The strength is inexhaustible, don't tighten." ”

"It's dark and I can't see clearly, let's fix the roof tomorrow." Gao Wu packed up his belongings and was about to go home.

Zhao Hao has the heart to keep the meal, but the father and son can't cook, so there is really nothing to entertain others. He took out two large pieces of brown sugar from the paper bag and stuffed them into Gao Wu's hand.

"It's not a valuable thing, give your dad water to drink, and you can make do with your body."

Gao Wu refused, Zhao Hao chased him until the door, and he reluctantly accepted it.

When Zhao Hao sent Gao Wu away, he turned around and entered the house, and saw that Zhao Shouzheng had already soaked two bowls of brown sugar water......

"Alas, it's a little astringent, not too pure." Zhao Shou tasted the product, shook his head critically, and drank a bowl with his head raised after speaking.

"If it's delicious, you'll eat the bowl." Zhao Hao looked at him helplessly, and held the remaining brown sugar firmly in his arms.

Zhao Shouzheng finished drinking his own bowl, looked at Zhao Hao strangely and said, "Your mouth is so high?" Drink some brown sugar water to get rid of the fire in your heart. ”

"This is not bought to drink...... Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said: "This is used to make a fortune!" ”

"Son, it's not for your father's sake." Zhao Shouzheng was puzzled and asked: "This thing, we didn't eat it before, how can it be used to make a fortune?" ”

Zhao Hao considered that he would have more amazing moves in the future, and he always had to have an excuse to perfunctory his father. He coughed lightly and said, "I've been dreaming a lot lately, and it seems that someone is talking to me in my dreams, telling me all kinds of things, including how to make a fortune with brown sugar." ”

Zhao Shouzheng became nervous and reached out to touch Zhao Hao's forehead. "Son, you're afraid you're getting hysteria? Gotta see the doctor quickly! ”

Zhao Hao slapped Zhao Shouzheng's hand away, walked straight towards the room and said, "Hurry up, we'll know if it's hysteria later!" ”

。

Zhao Shouzheng also followed into the room, although he didn't know what Zhao Hao was going to do. But he has always been obedient to his son, so he naturally does whatever he wants.

In the room, the stove is booming. It was Gao Wu who helped him give birth before leaving, and he also specially taught Zhao Shouzheng how to make a fire.

This solved one of Zhao Hao's major problems. What he has to do tonight is inseparable from the stove!

The heavy responsibility of taking care of the stove fire fell on Zhao Shouzheng. While adding firewood to the stove, he looked at Zhao Hao curiously, and poured the brown sugar into the cauldron.

"Son, I understand, do you want to make and sell it for money?"

"Hmm......" Zhao Hao replied, all his attention was on this pot of sugar. If this is a mess, he won't have the money to buy another copy and redo it.

"Pingming wind and rain brew spring cold, try to eat rice and apricot cheese." Zhao Shouzheng chanted, and was intoxicated by the beautiful artistic conception in the poem. "Son, when you are ready, you will go out with you for your father."

"Watch your fire!" Zhao Hao almost fell into the pot.

Seeing that Zhao Hao rarely showed such a serious expression, Zhao Shouzheng was extremely relieved, and immediately shut up obediently and concentrated on taking care of the stove fire.

After a while, the brown sugar in the pot turned into a paste under Zhao Hao's constant stirring. Before it could continue to melt, he hurriedly used a wooden scoop and spatula to scoop all the sugar paste from the cauldron into the funnel.

The funnel had been tightly plugged with grass in advance and placed on top of the bucket.

Zhao Hao told Zhao Shouzheng that he must take care of the only three catties of polysaccharide paste left in the funnel, and don't let cats, dogs, or anyone spoil it.

"Wu'er is afraid that I will steal food, so I will say it directly, why should I be so tactful." Zhao Shouzheng muttered, then squatted beside the bucket, staring at the funnel without a moment's notice.

Zhao Hao went out for a while before coming back from outside with a wooden basin.

He rested the wooden basin on the stove and walked over to Zhao Shouzheng to observe the solidification of the sugar paste in the funnel.

Zhao Shouzheng realized that his son's clothes were full of yellow mud, and he couldn't help asking, "Have you gone to play with mud?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Hao squatted next to the bucket and reached out to press into the funnel.

"Don't ......" Seeing his son touching the basically solidified sugar paste with his hand dipped in mud, Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but scream.

Zhao Hao turned a deaf ear, pressed the sugar cream, and his fingers suddenly sank in.

"It seems to be almost ......hot," Zhao Hao muttered in a low voice, but in fact, he didn't count how hard it should be. As he spoke, he tentatively pulled out the grass that blocked the mouth of the funnel, but no sugar paste came down. "It's time for the fire, right?"

"It's better to let me eat it." Zhao Shouzheng sighed helplessly, his eyes glanced at the wooden basin on the stove, and his eyes almost stared.

"You're really going to play with the mud?!"

In that wooden basin, there was a basin full of yellow mud water!

"Forget it, no matter." Zhao Hao had already entered the realm of forgetting things and me, and just said to himself: "It's not bad, it shouldn't be so particular!" ”

After saying this, he took the basin of yellow mud water and poured it on the funnel.

"Wait!" Zhao Shouzheng suddenly shouted to stop.

Zhao Hao looked at him puzzled, only to see Zhao Shouzheng stretch out his finger and dig a piece in the funnel.

Zhao Shouzheng sucked on the sugar paste while signaling his son to continue.

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, and the sense of sacredness that had sprung up in his heart just now was gone at this moment.

With a tilt of his hands, he slowly poured the yellow muddy water in the basin on the sugar paste.
