Chapter 364: Sugar is successfully produced
Qin An did as he said.
First, Qin An boiled all the sugar and turned it into syrup.
Ying Zheng, Li Si and others all said that Qin An was wasting his natural resources. This candy is a scarce commodity and it is difficult for ordinary small nobles to afford it.
However, no matter what they asked or said, Qin An always smiled and told everyone to just watch.
So everyone endured the heartache and watched the sugar turn into syrup again.
Soon, Ying Zheng and the others were not calm again.
I saw Qin An put the loess in the bucket and poured water into it, and a full bucket of loess water was formed.
Later, Ying Zheng and the others saw an incredible scene. Qin An actually poured loess water on the syrup.
"Qin An, what are you doing? Can you still eat this candy?" Ying Zheng asked loudly. 33
Qin An smiled and said: "Okay, okay, sugar will appear in a moment."
"Village chief, let Qing'an do it first. Maybe there will be unexpected results." Li Si comforted him.
In fact, he was very unsure, but because of his understanding of Qin An, Li Si planned to believe Qin An.
Qin An smiled and said nothing more.
Instead, he took the funnel and began to pour water into the sugar bowl in the funnel.
In this way, everyone watched quietly as Qin An continued to water the loess.
After more than an hour, I finally saw white crystals.
Ying Zheng and the others haven't noticed it yet, but Qin An has already noticed it.
Qin An showed a smile: "Succeeded."
"What? Success?" Ying Zheng and others were shocked.
For more than an hour, they no longer paid attention to Qin An, but sat aside and looked at the books they had just taken out of Qin An's study.
Upon hearing Qin An's words, they all put down their books and ran behind Qin An.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the sugar as white as snowflakes that Qin An poured into the bowl.
Ying Zheng even pinched a little sugar with his hands and put it in his mouth. The sweetness made him 100% sure it was sugar.
"Shocked, I'm so shocked." Ying Zheng said, "Just using loess water, you can wash the yellowed sugar so cleanly. How did Qin An do this?"
Li Si and Feng Quji both looked at Qin An.
Qin An smiled and said: "It's very simple, because the loess water has an adsorption effect. The loess water absorbs all the impurities in the sugar, and what is left is clean white sugar."
Qin An handed the sugar to Li Si and said, "My father-in-law, do you want this business?"
"Yes, I want it." Li Si blurted out without even thinking about Ying Zheng standing by.
After he came to his senses, he immediately added: "I definitely can't handle such a big business by myself. The village chief and Lao Feng should be involved together."
"Then you can arrange it yourself. You have also seen the method. You can have as much sugar as you want, provided you have sugar.
The current method of making sugar is really wasteful, and the sugar yield is too low. It is best to get sugar cane, which is the fruit with the highest sugar yield in the world. "Qin An said.
"I've asked people to inquire about it. Maybe there are plantings in all the villages and towns across the country." Ying Zheng said.
"That's really great. This way you can make more white sugar, and you can also make brown sugar." Qin An said.
"Don't worry, I will give you the answer as soon as possible. Also, do you want more rice?"
"We need seeds." Qin An replied, "Without the grain seeds, we can grow them ourselves without asking outsiders to buy them."
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded.
Qin An suddenly thought of something and said: "Father-in-law, now the village has achieved some success, and the only thing left is to expand the industry.
For example, cement workshops, which now require ten times more cement than current production, and paper-making workshops, should also start to separate industries.
Having been producing paper for writing, now we can start making other papers. "
"Other paper?" Ying Zheng looked at Qin An very curiously, "What paper? Is there any other paper besides writing?"
Qin An said: "Yes, I have mentioned it before, there is wrapping paper, toilet paper, paper towels and so on.
In the past, there was no production because it was not necessary. The village had a small population, and an additional industry was of little use.
So I have been making some toilet paper myself for home use.
Things are different now. There are a lot more people in the population. The toilet paper coming out of here can be sold for money. At the same time, everyone can say goodbye to toilet paper. That thing rubs the buttocks and is very uncomfortable. No, it is very uncomfortable.
There is also wrapping paper. Without the wrapping paper, tea and other valuable items can be packaged in the future, and the price will increase as a result. "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He had never heard of these things, so he said: "You can arrange things in the village yourself. If you are short of money, ask the village."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Qin An said with a smile.
"By the way, father-in-law, the pigs in the farm can be killed again. Is there anyone in need of pork outside the village? I can kill them for them. And clean them and dispose of all the internal organs for them." Ying Zheng said again.
"Do you have a lot of pigs?" Ying Zheng asked, "Aren't the people in the village not enough for you to handle?"
"That's true? No." Qin An said, "I just plan to open up sales outside and expand the scale of breeding."
"Zhao Lu, what do you think about this matter?" Ying Zheng looked at Jiang Lu.
He is the only one who has been busy with business at the moment. So you can ask him about business matters.
Jiang Lu looked confused. He didn't come to me for a good business like sugar, but he came to him for selling pork.
Unfortunately, he is the youngest among the four.
Jiang Lu came to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, pork is now popular, especially the delicacies made by Qin An, which makes pork in short supply and can be sold at a good price.
However, it is not feasible to directly kill the pigs and sell them, because sending them to other villages may cause the pork to spoil.
It is better to transport live pigs, which is more appropriate. "
"I can install a lot of ice blocks for you to prevent the pork from spoiling. If you really need live pigs, I can also arrange for the slaughtering personnel to follow you." Qin An said.
"The service is so good?" Jiang Lu looked at Qin An with some doubts.
Qin An smiled and said: "Of course it's better, you bought me a lot of pigs, at least a hundred.
According to the outside price, a pig is worth 2,500 yuan, and a hundred pigs can be sold for 250,000 yuan, which can be exchanged for 50 or 60 taels of gold. "
"Is that many?" Ying Zheng looked at Jiang Lu and asked.
"More." Jiang Lu said, "Nowadays, a pig can be sold for ten gold, which is one tael of gold. One hundred pigs are one hundred taels of gold."
"It's so expensive?" This time it was Qin An's turn to be shocked.
"There's no way, why is there not so much pork now? Everyone is waiting for pig head meat in the vegetable market." Jiang Lu said, "A piece of your braised pork can cost a hundred gold."
Some people died, but not completely...
