The evil daughter-in-law of the peasant family in the splendid pastoral

Chapter 43
"You said you want to see how Duanmu's family produces rock sugar with your own eyes?" Duanmu Qingfeng asked in surprise.

Su Qingyao nodded and said, "Seeing what they do, I might remember."

Duanmu Qingfeng looked at her for a long time, and said: "How can I know that you didn't take the opportunity to steal the Duanmu family's secret technique?"

Su Qingyao smiled and said: "It's very simple. Even if I learn it, it's useless. Only your Duanmu family can make it in the whole country. Even if I learn it, it's useless. At most, I can cook a little and eat it myself. If I dare to tell you Duanmu's family stealing business, isn't that a dead end?"

Duanmu Qingfeng nodded, and said again: "Are you sure you can remember it after reading it?"

Su Qingyao said in embarrassment: "I can't promise you this, I can only promise you, I will try my best to think about this matter."

Duanmu Qingfeng looked at her for a long time, and Su Qingyao met her gaze calmly.Finally, Duanmu Qingfeng said: "Follow me." Then, he took the lead and walked towards the door.

Su Qingyao hurriedly followed.Duanmu Qingfeng said as he walked without looking back: "Remember, you'd better not mention the scene you saw later, otherwise, whoever you tell will be harmed."

Su Qingyao nodded after listening, and she said jokingly: "Young Master Duanmu, let me tell Li Changde! I wish their whole family would die."

Duanmu Qingfeng snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I will give you a chance to kill someone with a knife?"

Su Qingyao shut her mouth embarrassingly.

Duanmu Qingfeng took her to a remote yard, which was very large.

Su Qingyao has basically visited all the yards in this villa these days, but she has never seen this yard.This Duanmu Qingfeng was so mysterious in everything he did, Su Qingyao secretly slandered him in her heart.

As far as the eye could see, the courtyard was quite frugally furnished, and Su Qingyao could smell a strong syrupy smell when she was still outside, and when she entered the courtyard, the sweet and greasy smell of syrup became even stronger.She was still looking at it, but Duanmu Qingfeng had already strode forward.

Su Qingyao hurriedly followed and entered the room. It was steaming inside. Su Qingyao didn't want to go in immediately, but Duanmu Qingfeng stepped in without paying attention.Su Qingyao looked at his back, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and followed him in.

The taste of the syrup became stronger and stronger. Unlike Su Qingyao's imagination, there were only two people busy making the so-called crystal sugar.Su Qingyao was stunned. She thought that since Duanmu Qingfeng was the young master of Duanmu's family, and Duanmu's family was the number one imperial merchant in this dynasty, the sugar production place should be at least as big as a basketball court, and there should be no workers. Thousands, it should be hundreds. Unexpectedly, there are only two people, and there is only one sugar-making funnel!
Duanmu Qingfeng kindly explained to Su Qingyao: "A few days ago, I guessed that you might ask to see how we make white sugar, maybe you can think of something wrong. Therefore, I ordered Lao Wu started making crystal sugar here."

Su Qingyao suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this!She walked over, stood aside, and carefully observed how Old Wu and the others made sugar.

Su Qingyao watched with relish. In her last life, she had no chance to see how sugar is produced with her own eyes. Now that she has this opportunity, how could she miss it.But when she came, Lao Wu and the others had already boiled the syrup, and now they are making the last step: pour the boiled syrup into the funnel, and when the funnel is filled with syrup, cover the top with soil and seal it. The water will slowly leak through the small hole at the bottom and drip into the big tank, and the syrup in the funnel will gradually solidify.

After a few days, the sealed soil cover was lifted, and the brown syrup in the funnel solidified and turned into white sugar.

This is a very simple step, and Su Qingyao watched it with relish.

Duanmu Qingfeng said: "How, have you remembered?"

Su Qingyao nodded. After the observation just now, she had already remembered the method of making rock sugar, and she said: "No hurry, let's come again after it solidifies in a few days."

Duanmu Qingfeng took her back the same way.

Sitting in the well-ventilated pavilion, admiring the charming scenery around, the sweet and greasy smell on Su Qingyao's body that had just been contaminated by Lao Wu finally disappeared. "How?" Duanmu Qingfeng said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

Su Qingyao glanced at him and said, "Is the rock sugar here sifted through a funnel and then solidified?"

Duanmu Qingfeng nodded.

Su Qingyao said: "Then, the rock candy I mentioned is different from yours. It is more expensive."

Duanmu Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "Oh? Tell me, why is it more expensive?"

Su Qingyao said: "What you made with the funnel is actually just ordinary white sugar. The rock sugar I'm talking about is based on white sugar, which is melted and crystallized again, and the finished product is in the form of lumps instead of granules. Moreover, It is crystal clear, has a sweet taste, and has the effects of nourishing the lungs, relieving cough, clearing phlegm, and reducing internal heat, and can also be brewed into medicinal wine and stewed as a tonic.”

Duanmu Qingfeng was dumbfounded when he heard that, how could a simple sucrose have such an effect?He looked at Su Qingyao suspiciously, she said so well, is it true or a lie to him?If it is really as good as she said, he must try it first after making it!
He hoped that Su Qingyao would continue talking, but Su Qingyao picked up the teacup and drank slowly without saying a word.

With Duanmu Qingfeng's experienced eyes, how could he fail to see the little Jiujiu in Su Qingyao's stomach?He said clearly: "Miss Su, we negotiated before, so you're not going back on your word, are you?"

Su Qingyao shook her head and said, "Young Master Duanmu, you misunderstood me. I have not regretted it, but things are no longer what they used to be." She paused, and said, "Master Duanmu originally asked me to give you the The bitter crystal sugar is just an improvement, but after I went to see it today, I realized that I don’t know how to do it. Therefore, our previous agreement is invalid. We agreed at the beginning. I will try my best to think about it. If you can’t think of it, you You can't blame me either."

Duanmu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, motioning for Su Qingyao to continue.But Su Qingyao felt that her mouth was very dry. She drank a cup of tea, and then continued: "As for the rock sugar I remembered, although the name is the same as the rock sugar here, the thing is very different, and it is thousands of miles away. I If the so-called rock candy is made, then your Duanmu family will be able to capture all the wealth in the world from now on."

Duanmu Qingfeng frowned and said: "You dare to say such a thing about seizing all the wealth in the world! If others hear about it, it will bring disaster to you and even the Duanmu family!"

After being reminded by Duanmu Qingfeng, Su Qingyao remembered that this was not her era of democracy, this was an imperial society, and all the wealth in the world belonged to the royal family.She said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I will pay attention."
