Chapter 292 From Vegetables to Sugar Industry

Zhang Yixing looked at the master's smile, and then at the sweet potatoes in the bowl.

With just this smile, he knew that the taste of this sweet potato might be bad.

But things are made by him, and he can't justify it without an oral test.

Forget it, bite the bullet and give it a try.

He swallowed, and picked up the sweet potatoes in the bowl.

It's just that as soon as the sweet potato enters the mouth, the overwhelming sweetness rushes straight to the forehead.

What the hell!

This candied sweet potato is so sweet.

He quickly picked up the water glass at hand and washed away the sweetness in his mouth with water.

"Uh...cough..."

"Now you should know how much damage your dish has." Huang Lei raised an eyebrow while listening to Zhang Yixing clearing his throat.

Zhang Yi nodded frantically, the water glass in his hand never leaving his lips.

No wonder the old man frowned after eating.

It turned out that the sweet one was inedible at all.

"It stands to reason that although this candied sweet potato is sweet, it's not so sweet that it will explode. Did you add something to it?"

"Um...I..."

Zhang Yixing drank a glass of water before alleviating the sweetness in his mouth. While putting down the glass, he watched the old man purse his lips before continuing to answer:

"I saw that the old man likes to eat sugar, so I found that the white sugar was not enough, so I added some honey to it."

When he added it, he never thought that the honey would be so sweet.

Isn't the sweetness of this honey similar to that of white sugar?
He felt that there should be no problem with adding it.

How can I imagine that the damage value of this sweetness is simple.

"hiss……"

Huang Lei took a deep breath when he heard the words, "Yixing, the honey in the kitchen is sweeter than white sugar."

He said that this sweet can sweeten people to death.

It turned out that the child had added honey to it.

I just know how to do it, but I don't know how to ask.

"Old man, I didn't say that I like sweet food, and you even added honey, which is too sweet."

"Didn't you carry candy with you? I don't think people who don't like sweets should carry candy with them."

"Brother Yixing, I actually put that candy in my pocket for grandpa. Judging from the amount of candy, it seems that grandpa hasn't eaten much."

"Huh? I..." Zhang Yixing didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's okay. Fortunately, there are not many sweet potatoes made. If you have a sweet tooth, you can eat it. If no one eats it, throw it away later."

Ye Qing waved his hands and said to the children.

In fact, he has never advocated waste, but today there is really nothing to do with the overly sweet sweet potatoes.

I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it if I distribute it to the children and spit it out.

Just dump it.

"I'll try first."

While speaking, Jin Jing picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

As a native of Shanghai, the taste of her hometown is sweet, and her acceptance of sweet things should not be bad.

After all, Zhang Yixing has been busy all afternoon, if this dish is thrown away, it will be a waste of all Zhang Yixing's heart.

But this time she regretted it.

She understood what the damage value meant.

Jin Jing picked up the water and began to drink vigorously. When she put down the glass, she said apologetically:

"This dish, I can't help it."

"This is not the scarcity of sugar. It is comparable to the era of 'two whites and one black'. Let's throw it away."

Ye Qing made a decision directly.

The era of sugar scarcity is over, and there is nothing reluctant to throw away.

If you want to try it in the past, I am afraid that someone will rinse the sweet potato in water and drink the rinsed water as sugar water.

But now with the development of the sugar industry, people don't think sugar is important.

"What is the era of two whites and one black?"

Hearing a word that the old man uttered that no one knew, they all stopped their chopsticks in confusion.

They have heard of Bai Jiahei.

What the hell are these two white and one black?

"They are grain, cotton, and coal."

Ye Qing chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, then explained to several people, and then continued:

"This sugar was not easily available to everyone before the Huaxia Sugar Industry developed, and the sugar at that time was not as pure as it is now, and the taste was not as good as it is now, so it was still a scarce commodity. , it is a hard currency between countries. Especially during wartime, sugar is a must for those foreign troops.”

"I've only seen it in movies and TV shows. At that time, sugar still had to be bought with food stamps. But I've never heard of hard currency."

"Why is it necessary for foreign troops during the war, don't we have sugar?"

"I remember that Huaxia has a sugar industry, why didn't we prepare it?"

"Most of the sugar now is sucrose, but at that time the sugar was mainly maltose, maltose, and sugar made from grain. Although sucrose was available, it was very little. The reason why it is said to be a hard currency is also from dignitaries. For the human body, 70.00% of the energy required by the human body is absorbed in the form of sugar, sugar represents calories, and sugar intake is the best way to quickly replenish physical strength."

As Ye Qing said, he picked up a piece of sweet potato and preached to the crowd:

"Like such a piece of sweet potato, its heat can maintain a person's energy for a day, and just such a small piece of sweet potato can immediately return a tired soldier to a fighting state. Moreover, sugar is a processed product, and it can also stabilize the economic market. Let planting, sugar production, and sugar sales all make money. It is not only a strategic material, but also aids the army.”

At first, he didn't realize how useful the candy was, but after he went to the battlefield and experienced wars with foreign troops, he realized that the candy was still very important to a country.

Especially when the development of the sugar industry was due to huge fluctuations in sugar output, sugar market, and sugar prices, he found a child to establish a sugar company to revive the development of the sugar industry.

"So this candy is so important."

Everyone couldn't help sighing.

Before listening to the old man, they just think that sugar is nothing important, and it doesn't matter whether they eat it or not.

But then they heard that the sugar at that time had such an effect, why don't they eat the candied sweet potato in front of them.

The audience in the live broadcast room also felt unbelievable when they heard the old man talk about the importance of sugar.

"This candy is so important."

"When I was a child, my grandma told me about that period of history when she bought me candy. At that time, she had to wait until the Chinese New Year or the holidays if she wanted to eat a piece of candy. Sometimes even if she had a candy ticket, she might not be able to buy candy."

"I'm going, the old man's words made me pick up the expired lollipop that was thrown into the trash can unconsciously. If you say that again, I have the idea of ​​eating it."

"Brother, eat it. Although it has expired, think about it, people still want to eat it, but you have to throw it away."

"Haha... Isn't this increasing the guilt of the big brother?"

"It's better not to eat it. The old man didn't say it all. It's not like it was then. The sugar industry has developed. For the sake of your health, it doesn't matter if you throw it away."

"Speaking of the development of the sugar industry, I suddenly wondered whether the old man helped develop the sugar industry after he knew the importance of sugar."

"That's right. I'm also curious. You say that the reason why we can eat such delicious candy now is the old man's reason."

The audience all knew the old man's routine.

Most of the things that the old man can tell are things that the old man has participated in.

After all, their father's achievements in China's development are China's No. 1.
