Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 67
Sure enough, when Mu Ying came back, Shen Qiancheng brought Zhu Biao several big boxes and a letter.

The general meaning of the letter is that the method of white sugar is very precious, and he will use this method to make sugar, but like the distillery, he will help Zhu Biao to manage it.

Shen Qiancheng is very smart and knows the importance of building a good relationship with the imperial court. He sent 3 taels of silver.

……

Shen House.

"His Royal Highness just sent someone to send this white sugar method, take a look."

Shen Qiancheng took the sugar method Zhu Biao gave him and handed it to Shen Zhiwu.

"Father, Your Highness gave this to you?" Shen Zhiwa was very surprised.

For a long time, wherever there is any white sugar like snow, it is all black.Even though their Shen family has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas.I have seen many strange things.

But snow white sugar...

The father and daughter looked at Fang Fang, their eyes widened involuntarily.

This His Royal Highness, the prince, seems to be different from ordinary princes and princes.

"Yellow mud water drenching sugar method, Gu thinks that the sugarcane is squeezed and then boiled, firstly make black sugar according to the conventional method, then put the prepared black sugar into the tile funnel to agglomerate, and then pour the yellow mud water into the funnel to produce reaction, you can get snow-white sugar...Did Your Highness joke?"

Shen Qiancheng immediately asked the housekeeper to take them to the Shen family's shop selling brown sugar and icing sugar to boil a pot of sugar.

After a few sticks of incense.

Did Shen know that the sugar on the top was as white as frost and snow, with a sweet taste, different from the usual boiled sugar, the sugar in the middle was yellow, and the bottom was brown sugar. "

The sugar cooker in the Shen family was surprised that the little maid was secretly dipping her finger in it, and this was the first time she had seen such white sugar in the Shen family.

"This...how is this possible, it has turned white." Steward Shen pointed at Tang and the workers around him, unable to speak.

"Xiaolian...Xiaolian." Shen Zhishi called her twice.

The little girl is indulging in the white sugar on her finger at this moment, which is the whitest she has ever seen in her life.

Hearing Shen Zhiwu calling her, he raised his head abruptly and said, "That's...so white, Miss, Your Highness is really amazing."

The people around raised their heads sharply, all looking at Xiao Lian.

"Ahem..." Shen Qiancheng said after coughing dryly twice, staring at Xiao Lian who was making a fuss without any trace, and said: "Continue to follow this method, and send it to me when it's done."

Shen knew that there was a strange color on her face, she hadn't digested this matter, and she was already turned upside down when the sugar became so white.

"Your Highness is really amazing." Shen Zhifu murmured to himself.

The weather was sweltering, so Shen Zhishi glanced in the direction of the imperial city, straightened his clothes, picked up the account book and left.

Seeing that her young lady was happy, Xiao Lian propped her head and felt that today was another good day.

She caught up with Shen Zhiwei and said with a smile: "Do you know it, it should be green, fat, red and thin, what a good name."

"Xiao Lian... If you are talking nonsense, I will marry you..." Shen Zhishi squeezed Xiao Lian's face and said, "Marry you off."

"Miss, it's okay if I don't dare... Your Highness is really amazing."

"Of course, he is unique in this world."

The sun was setting and the weather was muggy.

Shen Zhishi held the account books and forgot to eat and sleep to check them. The servant behind him brought a few more stacks of account books and said, "Miss, these are some accounts from the south of the city."

"Well, let's put it down." Shen knew whether he buried himself in the account books.

After a while, another cloth worker brought a sample of the cloth shop: "Miss, this is a new cloth, take a look."

"Why is it such a color? If there is another problem with this piece of cloth, you have to take full responsibility. Let Steward Shen prepare the carriage. I will go to Yangzhou to see the newly opened shop."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servant left and went to inform Butler Shen to prepare the carriage.

When Shen Zhifu and Xiaolian walked to the gate, they heard the servants talking.

"The place in Yangzhou is poor, and the lady still insists on opening a shop. I really don't understand."

"Yeah, those people in the chamber of commerce have made sarcastic remarks a lot."

Xiao Lian wanted to teach them a lesson, but Shen Zhiwei stopped her and said, "No need."

When the two of them left the gate of Shen's house, the gossiping servant immediately obeyed like a mouse meeting a cat.

"Do your own thing well, and you don't have to worry about other things." Shen Zhishi turned his head and said coldly to the driver when he was carrying the account book into the carriage.

When leaving Nanjing, several officials ran quickly on the street and passed by the carriage.

Shen Zhi raised the curtain of the carriage, glanced outside, and continued to look at the account books.

……

……

Yangzhou City.

Whether Shen Zhi checked the account books of the shop and found that the business was still deserted, much better than the previous few months.

Yangzhou City is much more popular than it was at the beginning of the year, and the attics on both sides are almost completed.

Xiao Lian followed behind Shen Zhifu, and the two walked along the market.

There are small stalls on the street. Although it is not as prosperous as Nanjing City, it is no longer deserted and miserable.

The willow slivers on the river embankment are sprouting in summer, and they are extremely luxuriant. The scholar with the bookcase on his back.

Farmers carrying burdens to sell in the streets and alleys, and occasionally a few businessmen walked by with their servants.

On the road not far from the canal, several children were playing and making noise at the edge of the field, and were accidentally pushed into the field by other children.

The crops in the field were trampled, and a woman not far away ran over with a stick to frighten them, and shouted curses at the river with her hands in her waist.

Shen Zhishi looked at this scene with a smile on her lips. She has seen the ruined Yangzhou, and today's recovery is really rare.

The recovery was slow but not easy.

These are all his people. Your Highness will be very happy to see Yangzhou recover.

Not far away, a bunch of common people were surrounded by water, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Xiao Lian leaned forward, and because she was too short to reach inside, she pulled the woman next to her and asked, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, little girl, you don't know that Mr. Yang, the magistrate, is here to bid farewell to his friend today."

"A friend of the prefect of Yang?" Shen Zhifu repeated standing in the distance.

Could it be that Yang Xian? She heard His Highness say that when they were chatting, they talked about Yangzhou.

The magistrate of Yangzhou is called Yang Shen, and the other one who has no official position and stays in Yangzhou is called Yang Xian.

From what it looked like, she was going back to Nanjing City, but these had nothing to do with her.

Then he pulled Xiaolian and continued to walk forward.

There are few roadside restaurants, but there are many stalls selling food, steaming soup, cold and delicious melons and fruits.

Xiao Lian looked here and there, and ate the melons and fruits as she walked, "Miss, try this, it's really delicious."

A woman by the side of the road was busy there wearing a headscarf, and Xiao Lian ate a mouthful of duck blood soup softly.

Shen knew whether he was sitting at a street stall and eating. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes today, he still couldn't conceal his proud figure and extraordinary temperament.

The elegant and beautiful face attracted many passers-by to look back, and many people came to the woman's stall.

The woman smiled and said, "Miss is not an ordinary person, she is so beautiful, and it has brought a lot of business to my stall."

Shen Zhifu smiled slightly, paid the money and took Xiaolian away.

She felt that although the shop was deserted, there must always be someone in Yangzhou to take the lead, and the business would be fine if it persisted.

Yangzhou has also been prosperous. I believe His Highness will restore Yangzhou to its former prosperity. He is the son of God.
