The sound of horses' hooves on the long street was crisp, Jiang Anyi was lazily undulating with the horse's back, Yan'er's affairs made him very troubled, and he just wanted to be quiet for a while at the moment, ignoring the complicated world affairs.

Guo Huaili held back for a long time, and when he saw that Jiang Anyi didn't answer him, he couldn't help but say: "Xiao Jiang, my brother should tell you, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

"Last year, honey and fruit were sold, and the price of honey rose sharply.

Jiang Anyi said casually: "How much?" ”

"One thousand two hundred wen a pound."

This figure surprised Jiang Anyi, the price of honey before the appearance of honey fruit was only one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan, but now it has risen tenfold, how many honey fruits can be eaten. No one can afford to eat, so shouldn't the hopeful fruit farmer lose everything.

"Brother Guo, what agreement did you say you signed with the fruit farmers just now, what's going on?"

In front of the back door of the mansion, Guo Huaili was talking about it, and said with a smile: "My brother and sister are pregnant now, and I guess I will sleep in a separate room with you, so I will go to your house to borrow a night tonight, and talk to you by the way." ”

Guo Huaili really didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he came to the study and instructed the girl: "Make me a pot of your master's good tea, and light up any incense, by the way, make a charcoal basin, it's cold, what food is there at home, bring it up, and I'm hungry after walking all the way." ”

Jiang Anyi patted Guo Huaili's leg on the chair, and said angrily: "Brother Guo, there is a sitting statue, don't shake your legs." ”

The little girl listened to the order, put on the snacks like flowing water, made tea, and made a charcoal basin, and then left, leaving the study to Jiang Anyi and Guo Huaili.

Guo Huaili took a piece of sesame pancake and took a bite, shook his head and said, "It's tide." He picked up another piece of jujube paste and took a bite, and sighed: "How does the thing of Caiye Zhai seem to have changed its taste when it arrives in Huazhou, and it is still delicious to eat in Xinqi County." Xiao Jiang, do you still remember that when I left school, I liked to take you to pick leaves to buy pastries, and the jujube paste crisp I ate at that time was fragrant, which seemed to be a little bit worse. ”

Jiang Anyi also picked up a piece of jujube paste, tasted it slowly in his mouth, reminisced about the time of the year, and said with a smile: "At that time, I couldn't eat enough, Brother Guo can give me a piece of jujube paste crisp to eat, it is simply a delicacy in the world, I remember to take a small bite into my arms and take it home for An Yong and Yan'er to taste." Alas, Yan'er, this girl, is really sad. ”

Seeing that Jiang Anyi's mood was low again, Guo Huaili hurriedly said: "Xiao Jiang, didn't you ask me where the honey came from, let me tell you, Miao Village in Qianzhou." ”

"Miao Village", Jiang Anyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "I haven't heard that Miao Village produces honey, even if there is a limited amount, Qianzhou is more than 4,000 miles away from here, and the road is not smooth, even if the honey is transported to Huazhou, I am afraid it is sky-high." ”

Guo Huaili shook his feet proudly and motioned for Jiang Anyi to pour him tea. Jiang Anyi knew that this was Brother Guo's gesture of wanting to show his time, so he smiled and reached out to pour the tea, and respectfully handed it to Guo Huaili. Guo Huaili drank his sip of water with satisfaction, shook his head and said, "The son can be taught." ”

"Anyi, cane is produced in Qianzhou, and cane produces caramel sugar, my idea is the sugar produced in Qianzhou."

Jiang Anyi was deflated when he heard this, and several states in the south of Dazheng all produce cane, especially the thick stems from Qianzhou, which are high and sweet. The method of making sugar from cane existed during the Warring States Period, and it has been passed down to this day for more than 600 years. Last year, the honey-made fruit honey was out of stock, and many people mixed brown sugar into the honey, although

It can also be kept from being bad, but the color is black, which is far inferior to the honey fruit made by mixing honey. However, there is a lot of brown sugar, which can be bought for only 40 pounds compared to honey, and is usually used as a tonic for women's confinement.

Guo Huaili squinted at Jiang Anyi and said, "Xiao Jiang, what kind of expression do you have, looking down on sugar?" When I went back to Texas last year to move, I met a sugar merchant in Jiangzhou, and I happened to think about starting a honey fruit business, honey is scarce, can I use sugar instead. I casually asked him if he had any candy without color, and the sugar merchant squeaked for a long time, and when I saw that there was a play, I invited him to drink. The man was half drunk, and showed me a small bag of sugar that he had brought with him, pale yellow in color and shaped like ice crystals, which the sugar merchant called rock candy. ”

"Rock candy", Jiang Anyi asked, "How does it taste after you have tasted?" Can it be colored in water? ”

Guo Huaili smiled: "Sweet, melting in the water can hardly see variegation." ”

"How much does it cost?"

"Eight hundred wen a pound." Guo Huaili said.

The price of 800 wen is not low, but it is 30% cheaper than honey, if you can replace honey with rock sugar, honey fruits can be more than 3 or 400 wen profits, small profits and quick turnover, this business has been done, Huazhou fruit farmers do not have to worry about sales, Jiang Anyi's face showed joy.

Guo Huaili's face was gloomy, he drank all the tea in the cup, slammed the teacup heavily, and said: "Xiao Jiang, don't be happy too early, there is a lot of rock candy, but the preparation method is from Miao Village, if you want to purchase rock sugar in large quantities, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

Miao Village, Jiang Anyi's heart sank. Miao Feng is fierce, and the customs of the Zheng people are not compatible, the successive dynasties have exploited the Miao people very much, and there are often wars between Miao and Zheng, and the Miao people are impermanent in resisting oppression and rebellion, so that the Central Plains court is very wary of Miao Village.

The Zheng Dynasty was established for more than 100 years, continuing the control and isolation of the Great Wei Dynasty, building military villages around the Miao Village, and the Protectorate of Annam sent tens of thousands of heavy troops to guard the military village, trying to trap the Miao people in the deep mountains. Zheng people's materials to enter Miao Village to pass the inventory, and Miao Village's production to enter Zheng Jing is a lot of checkpoints, rock sugar from Miao Village, to see a large-scale transaction is simply impossible.

Guo Huaili said: "I asked the sugar merchant carefully, and he told me that this bag of rock candy was smuggled out of Miao Village by him from the military village, and if he went to the side card of the military village, he would have to pay heavy taxes even if it was not confiscated." ”

Jiang Anyi pondered for a moment and asked: "Can this method of making rock candy bring Miao Village, if you can invite a master and let him make sugar outside Miao Village." ”

Guo Huaili smiled bitterly: "I also thought so at the time, the sugar merchant said that this method of making rock sugar is the secret method of Lingxiang Valley, and the method of making sugar is also highly secret in Lingxiang Valley, and the rock sugar he holds is purchased in the village around Lingxiang Valley." The master of sugar production lives in Lingxiang Valley, and ordinary people can't see it at all, let alone know who it is? ”

Lingxiang Valley, one of the top ten schools in the rivers and lakes, Jiang Anyi heard Xinfei's introduction, Lingxiang Valley's skills are strange and unpredictable, so he should be more careful when he walks the rivers and lakes. The method of rock candy involved Lingxiang Valley, and Jiang Anyi couldn't help but retreat from the valley in his heart.

Sighing, Jiang Anyi said: "Brother Guo, this matter is very difficult, let's think about it in the long run." ”

Guo Huaili was a little anxious, he signed a lot of agreements with fruit farmers during this time, and also ordered 30,000 cans of porcelain jars of honey fruits from the pottery factory in advance.

"Anyi, I heard you say that you have bet a few games with Tian Shaoqiu of Miao Village in Changle Fang in the capital, you don't mean Miao senior

I took care of you a lot, and gave you a wooden sign? Guo Huaili suddenly reminded.

"Yes, I'll keep that wooden sign in the bookcase." Jiang Anyi got up as he spoke, and took out a black wooden sign from the box in the bookcase, the body of the card was engraved with a simple pattern, and there was a word "Tian" on the front.

Guo Huaili took the wooden card and rubbed it in his hand, distinguishing the material, Jiang Anyi looked at him like that, and he couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and take a bite to try.

For a long time, Guo Huaili put the wooden card on the table and said: "Anyi, don't you know that Tian Shaoqiu is quite prestigious in Miao Village, and is known as the Tongjian Spirit Ape by the Miao people, and is the junior brother of Zhuo Can, the owner of Lingxiang Valley. ”

Jiang Anyi was a little strange how Guo Huaili knew so much about martial arts affairs.

Scratching his head, Guo Huaili smiled embarrassedly: "Anyi, to tell you the truth, the sugar merchant found me two days ago and talked to me about the rock sugar business. This sugar merchant represents the Lingxiang Valley of Miao Village, and he told me about the old man Tian, he said that he wanted to see you, and the old man Tian asked him to bring you a few words. ”

"Nonsense", Jiang Anyi reprimanded unceremoniously: "It is a big crime to collude with Miao Zhai in private, Brother Guo, you are too Meng Lang." ”

Guo Huaili pursed his lips and said indifferently: "Xiao Jiang, what are you talking about, I didn't let you betray Da Zheng, but I just let you meet this sugar merchant and see what he said?" In business, if you can learn how to make rock candy, it will be another 'perfume' business. See each other first, and then talk about whether it will work or not. ”

Jiang Anyi shook his head again and again, Guo Huaili was not discouraged, soft grinding and hard bubbles. It happened that Xinfei brought someone over to deliver supper, and Guo Huaili saw the rescuers and asked Xinfei for help.

After hearing this, Xin Fei smiled and said: "Anyi, you are too careful, although the court guards against the Miao people, it does not say that it will not interact with Miao Village." Take the matter of Tian Shaoqiu giving the wooden card as an example, the Son of Heaven must have known about it, didn't he say anything? As long as you are upright and think about the country, the Son of Heaven will definitely want to see the tax growth of Huazhou. ”

Seeing Jiang Anyi nodding, Guo Huaili sighed: "Alas, they all said that you forgot your mother when you married your daughter-in-law, Anyi, you not only forgot your mother, but even your brothers and friends, I said that if you don't agree, you don't agree, and you nod your head when your brother and sister say a word, alas, people's hearts are not bitter, and the world is declining." ”

At the end of the next day, a carriage stopped at the back door of the government, and Guo Huaili took a person out of the carriage and hurriedly walked into the courtyard. In the study, Jiang Anyi saw this sugar merchant from Miaojiang, in his thirties, medium build, good looks, short beard, businessman dress, when he saw Jiang Anyi, he clenched his fists and said: "Lingxiang Valley Sun Li has only seen Lord Jiang." ”

Jiang Anyi invited him to sit down, and Yahuan offered tea. Jiang Anyi asked, "Sun Zhuangshi, is Old Man Tian good?" ”

"There is Lord Lao's concern, Uncle Tian is in good health, this time I came to Huazhou, Uncle Tian asked me to say hello to the adults for him, and invited the adults to go to Miao Village to play." Sun Licai smiled and replied without humility or arrogance.

This Sun Licai's eyes flashed with brilliance, his strength was condensed, he was obviously a master of the inner family, he called Tian Shaoqiu his uncle, I don't know if it was Zhuo Can's personal disciple. Lingxiang Valley is Miao Village's talisman, he obviously didn't come to him simply for rock candy, what is the matter with Miao Village looking for himself?
