Chapter 709 Detailed planning
Wait for Dong Xue to approach, Huo Xi stepped forward and opened the lid, motioning for Zhang Fu to look.
Zhang Fu leaned over to take a look, and saw something like white sand. Look at another jar, a piece of yellow and white stuff.
What is this?
"Father picked up some to eat."
Seeing that his father was hesitating, Huo Nian picked up some and put it into his mouth, "Father, look, this is sugar, sweet."
"Sweet. Little Yuer wants to eat too."
Closed the door, Xiao Yuer often eats these sweets, don’t children just love these sweet things, so he leaned half his body and asked grandpa for it.
"Okay, give it to our little Yuer."
Seeing that his son was eating well and seemed to be doing well, Zhang Fu picked up a piece of yellow and white ice-like stuff and fed it into Xiao Yuer's mouth.
Xiao Yuer swallowed it in one bite, his mouth was bulging immediately, and he mumbled that it was delicious.
Zhang Fu took a look, picked up some snow-white fine sand, licked it with his tongue, and stared: "Is this candy?"
"Yes, father, this is white sugar."
Huo Nian said beside him, pointing to another jar, "Father, try this rock candy again."
"Bingtang?" Each piece is crystal clear like ice, isn't it just like rock candy?
Zhang Fu took another piece and tried it, and couldn't help nodding: "Sweet."
"Sweet." Xiao Yuer echoed.
The grandfather and grandson were amused for a few words, and Zhang Fu suddenly looked serious. He had never seen these two things before, but he could see the great value in them.
"You made it many years ago? Where do you sell it? Why have you never seen it in Beijing? What is the selling price?"
"It has been quietly produced in Zhuangzi. It has not been sold to Guochao, and it has been shipped to Waifan with the big ship. The selling price is good, and it has been sold for two or three taels of silver per catty."
Zhang Fu almost choked.
Two, two, three taels of silver per catty? If you can make one hundred catties a day, you will have a lot of silver. How much is that month? How much should there be in a year? How about making one thousand catties and ten thousand catties?
Zhang Fu was in a daze. If it was handed over to the royal workshop, how much could it make in a day with the royal production capacity? How much can you make in that year? Is the treasury still worried about money?
He was excited, but soon calmed down again.
"Sugar juice is squeezed from sugar cane, but there are so many sugar canes?"
Huo Xi smiled and nodded: "In addition to the sugar cane in the south, the beets in the north can also produce these white sugar and rock sugar."
She secretly made sugar, and the output was not large, so she never tried beets. But she knows that beets also make sugar.
"Really?"
"Xi'er won't make fun of her grandfather's family. My husband and I also made a decision after some weighing. The profit of this sugar production is huge. If the grandfather's family can't be exonerated, my husband and I will not hand it over. This method."
Mu Yan said with a serious expression.
He is not stupid, if he cannot achieve his goal and hand over this secret method, is it because he thinks too much money is biting his hand?
"Okay, then this matter must be carefully planned, and the emperor must be persuaded with emotion and reason in one fell swoop to help your grandfather's family get rid of the crime."
Weng and his son-in-law found a secluded flower hall to discuss the matter together. I even forgot to eat lunch.
Until the servants came to remind them, the clan elders and the heads of the houses all came, and the second master and the third master called the Duke of the country to discuss the matter.
Zhang Fu stopped talking.
"This matter will be done according to our discussion. When the nannie enters the palace, first talk to the imperial concubine and listen to her opinion. Although your aunt is not very favored, but now she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and she has a better temper with the emperor than we do. learn."
"Okay, this matter needs to be cautious, if you can't get it done overnight, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
"We understand. Thanks father for pointing it out."
"You child, be polite to your father." He patted Xiao Yuer's head, and hurried to meet his clansmen.
Huo Xi chatted with his siblings for a while, seeing his father and aunt were discussing matters with the clansmen, so he didn't bother him anymore, got up and went to Huo's house.
"Ouch, Xiao Yuer, come on, let grandma hug you! Ouch, grandma's little boy!"
Seeing Huo Xi bringing her son-in-law to the door, Yang was so happy that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Seeing Yang Shi hugging Xiao Yuer and kissing and kissing again and again, Huo Erhuai watched greedily and rubbed his hands anxiously. He also wanted to hug his soft and obedient grandson.
"It's good that you are here. Your father went fishing early this morning and caught a lot of shrimps and crabs. When he came back, he was packing up and was about to send them to you."
There is river fresh food to eat!
"Father, don't work hard to get it yourself, just go to the river and collect some from others."
"It's not hard. Your father can't be idle. Whenever he has free time, he wants to run into the river. He said he wants to catch river fresh food for you. Let him go. He is happy to move and take a dip in the river." .”
"And he went with Bao Xia, and Bao Xia was there for the hard work. How could he be tired."
Huo Xi smiled. In the past two years, she helped set up a relationship and told Bao Kang about a maid in the mansion. That maid was an orphan, she was sold several times since she was a child, and later she was sold to the Mu Mansion as a low-ranking maid, so she stopped beating and scolding her.
Bao Kang helped her, and she didn't dislike Bao Kang, and Bao Kang's intelligence stopped at the age of seven or eight, and his ability to take care of himself was the same as that of ordinary people, and he had learned all kinds of skills. Now he is with Nian'er and has become a personal soldier , a monthly salary.
The young couple are living a sweet life now, and they also gave birth to a son, who is about one year old. Happy Zuo Shi and Bao Xia don't know what to do.
When I was free, I went down to the river to fetch fresh food for Huo Xi and Mu Yan.
After hearing Yang's words, Huo Erhuai smiled naively: "Father thought that my son-in-law is taking a rest today, and that Nian'er and An'an are also at home, so I wanted to get you some seafood to eat."
"I'm really lucky. From time to time, I can eat river fish caught by my father-in-law. It's so mouth-watering. I don't even think it tastes good when the servants buy it at the market." Mu Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Huo Erhuai grinned, his mood was agitated, and he was happier than anything else: "If you like food, just love it. If you like it, Dad will fish it for you!"
"Little Yuer also likes to eat!"
He likes to eat the little whitebait the most, which is soft and slippery wrapped in egg liquid, or fried until fragrant and crispy, so delicious! Mother also said that eating fish is smart, and Xiao Yuer will be the smartest child!
Ziliu, couldn't help sucking saliva.
It made everyone laugh.
"Okay, our little fisherman wants to eat, so grandpa will fish it for you!"
Oops, his grandson likes to eat it, Huo Erhuai can't wait to pack up the fishing nets and things right now, and go make a net for his little grandson.
"Where's the little uncle?" The man in the mansion over there is the big uncle, and Uncle An An is the little uncle here.
"Your uncle has gone to the uncle's house next door, and grandma has already sent someone to call him."
Hearing that her sister, brother-in-law and Xiao Yuer came home, An An ran fast, "Xiao Yuer!"
"Little uncle!"
"Haha, Xiao Yuer! Do you miss uncle?" The uncle and nephew played the game of flying high.
"Put it down quickly, don't drop Xiao Yu'er!" Yang followed behind and looked at him, holding his heart high, wishing he could beat his son.
"Grandma, don't fall." "Oh, that's good."
An An is almost ten years old now, the age when cats hate dogs. As soon as he got into trouble with his parents, he packed his bags and ran to find his sister and nephew, so the uncle and nephew had a great time.
Xiao Yuer never lacks playmates. His uncles come to play with him from time to time, and his aunt at home also plays with him. Yang Shi and Qin Huaiyu often bring Yang Fu's two children to play with him.
Vanilla Xiahe and others will also bring their children to play with him. Xiao Yu'er is busier than his father, and has no shortage of playmates to play with every day.
Dinner time, when I heard that Huo Xi was back, Yang Fu's family and Qin Chang's grandparents also came to have dinner together.
