Lucky First Daughter: After crossing, she will fly the whole family with her mouth

Chapter 33 Supply
Xiao Jinyue took the two kinds of sugar she had made and headed towards the main courtyard, and entered the flower hall, where she saw Mrs. Xue sitting at the head, listening to the second steward's reply.

Seeing her little daughter coming, Mrs. Xue waved to her. Xiao Jinyue walked over and sat down beside her.

When the maid served tea, Mrs. Xue said to Xiao Jinyue, "Yue'er, come here, but do you want to ask about sucrose?"

"yes".Xiao Jinyue nodded to her mother.

Then he asked Xiao Hai, the second manager next to him, "Uncle Hai, did you find out about the source of sucrose?"

The second steward, Xiao Hai, is usually in charge of all the purchases in the mansion. He heard from the chief steward that the second girl plans to start a sugar business, and asked him to find out which shops in Beijing have sucrose. , but also knew that it was not up to him, a servant, to comment on the master's decision.

Therefore, although he didn't care about it in his heart, he still accepted the errand.

After leaving the mansion, he prepared the things he was going to buy, and asked the boy to send them back to the mansion. Then he invited a business manager who usually had a lot of dealings with him to the restaurant for dinner. He poured a lot of wine at the dinner table, and said After a lot of flattery, I inquired about the matter clearly and returned home.

Because he often dealt with all kinds of people, Xiao Hai developed a gentle temperament. He smiled and said, "Back to the second girl, I found out that there are two companies in Beijing that have sucrose. One is the largest Taishenglong company, and the second is It’s Jinyuanzheng Company. I heard that the shops selling sugar in the city and the small stall owners all get their goods from those two companies.”

"However, it is said that most of Tai Shenglong's sugar is offered to the palace, and only a small part is sold in their store in Beijing. It is said that the supply is still in short supply, and some noble families often cannot buy it."

Xiao Jinyue looked puzzled, "Is Tai Shenglong's sucrose so scarce?"

The second steward nodded, "That's true. I heard that Tai Shenglong's sugar cane production is only about one hundred stones a year. Sometimes the year is not good, and the sugar cane production is poor, and there is not even one white stone. Tai Shenglong's sugar is more expensive than Jin Yuanzheng's impurities. It’s less, so big families like to go to Taishenglong to buy.”

"However, most of Taishenglong's cane sugar is sent to the tribute palace, and the amount left behind is very small, so it is very sought-after, and some people often cannot buy it."

Xiao Jinyue frowned slightly, she didn't expect the supply of sucrose to be so scarce in this era, "What about Jin Yuanzheng?"

"Jin Yuanzheng's sucrose has more impurities, and the quantity is not large, about [-] to [-] shi a year. Those honorable families think there are too many impurities, and they would rather lack it than go to Jin Yuanzheng to buy it."

"The sugar shops in the city got their goods from Jinyuanzheng, and the small stall owners got their goods from those sugar shops."

Xiao Jinyue suddenly realized that it turned out to be the case, presumably the Heji Sugar Store got the goods from Jin Yuanzheng.

Because they don't have to worry about selling, the shopkeeper and the waiters are arrogant, and they don't answer when they see customers coming.

Xue didn't expect such trouble, "Yue'er, why don't you stop selling candy and change it to something else?"

Xiao Jinyue didn't answer this question, and asked Fennel to bring over the food box, brought out the blue and white porcelain dish, and placed it on the table next to it.

Seeing what was on the plate, Mrs. Xue looked suspicious, "What is this?"

"Mother, these are two kinds of sugar that I extracted. The grainy one is frost sugar, and the lumpy one is rock sugar."

The second steward stared at the candy on the plate, his eyes lit up, he couldn't help but stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

He originally thought that the second girl was going to open a shop to sell cane sugar, but he didn't expect it to be two new types of sugar that he had never seen before.Looking at the frosted sugar, it is not only white as snow, but also free of impurities. Although the rock sugar is a bit worse in color than frosted sugar, in his opinion, it is already very good.I don't know how many times better than the dull sucrose, and it is pleasing to the eye.And there are no impurities on the rock sugar.

He just didn't know how it tasted, so after thinking about it, he said cheekily, "Second Miss, can I give the little one a taste?"

Xiao Jinyue naturally wouldn't object, white sand sugar and rock sugar are expensive in this era, but in her opinion, they are really nothing.

"Okay, mother, try it too."

Fennel brought two small plates, filled one portion of both types of sugar, and first gave one to Xue Shi, and then the other to the second steward.

After Mrs. Xue and the second steward tasted it, Xiao Jinyue asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Mrs. Xue nodded, "That's right. I didn't expect you to really figure it out. These two kinds of sugar are beautiful in color, and there are no impurities. Moreover, mother tastes them, and they are sweeter than sucrose, caramel, and cane syrup."

The second steward also nodded repeatedly, "Indeed."

Xiao Jinyue smiled and asked the second manager, "Uncle Hai, in your opinion, can the business of these two new sugars be done?"

More than done!

The second steward's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Second girl, if these two candies are sold, they will be very popular. It's not a small boast, these two candies will definitely become tributes in the future."

The second steward even saw countless gold and silver waving at him.

Xiao Jinyue sighed, "It's a pity that the amount of sucrose is too small."

Hearing this, Xue Shi and Xiao Hai both calmed down.

Yes, the amount of sucrose used as a source of supply is small, how can this business be done?
Are you going to give up?
Er Guan couldn't bear the facts, seeing a lot of opportunities to make money, how could he miss it?
If there was such a business, their general would not have to worry about money.

Although the general went to Beijing to serve and was promoted to be the deputy commander in front of the palace, he knew that the general always cared about his comrades in the army.

But even so, it's just a drop in the bucket.

There are countless comrades in the army, and it is not uncommon for military pay to be delayed or only partially paid.Those comrades not only have to take care of their own food and clothing, but also save money to help the old, young, women and children at home.

The general couldn't bear to see his soldiers not having enough food and clothing, and he often helped them out of his own pocket.

And those comrades who died on the battlefield, the general could not turn a blind eye to their orphans.

In addition, there are those soldiers who have been injured and have to withdraw from the field.

The general's salary is not enough for him at all.

Thinking of this, the second manager couldn't help but said, "Madam, if this business can be started, the general won't have to worry..."

Xue Shi glanced over and interrupted his unfinished words.

How could she not know that with this business, the financial constraints of the mansion would be alleviated.

Xiao Pingyuan's salary was spent, but he never kept it from Xue Shi.

Xue Shi was born in the general family, and she knew how difficult it is to be a prestigious general since she was a child.In addition to being capable, he should also be kind to his colleagues in the army.

They couldn't turn a blind eye to their difficulties, but she also knew it was a bottomless pit.But so what if she knows, she can't let her husband ignore it, she can only carefully manage the property in the mansion, and try to maintain the expenses of a mansion as much as possible.

It's a pity that she doesn't have any talent for business, and she tried her best to take care of it, and the property in the mansion is just barely enough for expenses.When the times are bad, she may even be unable to make ends meet. She often secretly worries about money.

Especially after entering Beijing, the expenses will be even greater.

Now that she has a profitable business, she is naturally happy.But in the final analysis, these two candies were made by the youngest daughter, so she couldn't have the cheek to take this business from her daughter, could she?
