It turns out that there was no sugar in the Ming Empire at this time. It is not just history that has changed the world, but also technology.
Brown sugar is mainly obtained from sugar cane or some beet leaves through simple extrusion. Because it contains too many impurities, it is reddish-brown, so it is called brown sugar. And even if this is just a simple technique of turning brown sugar into white sugar, it has taken thousands of years. It was not until 600 years ago that someone used bone charcoal to obtain white sugar. It is said that a sugar workshop caught fire and the charcoal fell into it. In the bucket, I got the white sugar. Of course, this period of history is from the era of Wang Busui's previous life. There seems to be no sugar factory fire in this era. The fire protection measures are so good, I must give them praise.
It is very simple to turn brown sugar into white sugar. Wang Busheng knows this. After all, they are all eaten. He is a professional counterpart. Just put the bone charcoal into the brown sugar water, stir it, and then filter it, and it will become a colorless and clear solution, and then continue to heat it. , until the water is completely evaporated, and the diluted sugar is white sugar. Because there are fewer impurities, the taste is much better.
Is this a business opportunity? Is he going to make a fortune? Wang Bushu wants to laugh out loud. Of course, making a fortune silently is the way to go. The first thing he has to solve is his own food problem. Of course, his stomach has been solved for the time being. However, there are still variables. It is also possible to go to the Japanese pirates to sell sugar. The next step is to reserve capital in the early stage. Just when Wang Busui was inexplicably happy and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, just when Guan Chajia thought that Wang Busui was hallucinating due to food poisoning, after all, no one has ever drank milk with brown sugar added, and some chemical reactions occurred, producing some poisons. It's not impossible. At this moment, a shrill scream interrupted the two people's thinking. They ignored Wang Busheng and the official family hurriedly ran to check. They saw the two colleagues guarding the door slowly helping Li Li. Li Xingzuo, who is Li Xingzuo? This is his immediate boss. If he doesn’t flatter him now, then he will do it. We don’t care how the leader falls, but we still have to grasp the result well.
"Stop!" Guan Cha A shouted. As the old man of Songjiang Mansion Prison, Guan Cha A still had a certain power. As soon as the voice came out, the two jailers were stunned on the spot, at a loss.
"What are you two doing? You are in charge of guarding. You left your post without permission. You are unorganized and undisciplined. Is this what a court employee should do? As guards, you have a heavy responsibility. The entire Songjiang Mansion Prison Up and down, dozens of prisoners, more than 20 staff members, including our wise and all-powerful chief bookkeeper Mr. Li, everyone’s safety depends on you. If something happens, you can take on the responsibility. Responsibility. You are worthy of the Ming Empire. You are worthy of the people of the Ming Empire. You are worthy of Mr. Li who treats us like his own sons. You have committed serious crimes. Even if you die, you cannot escape the blame. Hmm, I have decided to cancel your commission this month. ". Officer A was very angry and dared to steal a horse's butt from him. A person who steals someone's butt is like a murderer. How can his parents be spared lightly?
"Hey, don't, Brother A, we know we are wrong, we know we are wrong, I have an old man and a young man, and I have no money. Isn't this letting our whole family die? Just be generous and spare us this time. I I swear this is the last time, and there will never be a second time." The two jailers hurriedly prayed. After all, this month's commission is not a small number, and their family is still enjoying hot and spicy food with this month's commission, so they don't need to be embarrassed. , but money doesn’t work.
The effect is achieved, and the official has no real intention to deduct commission from others. After all, it is not easy for everyone to make some money. It not only relies on physical strength, but also uses the brain. It is very hard every day. No, there is already something on his head. the trend of hair loss.
"Well, seeing that we are all colleagues and serving the people, I will spare you this time. If there is a next time, I will never let you off lightly," said Officer A. People, it's better to have an official status. It doesn't matter if you are a junior official, as long as you have some power in your hands, well, two words - comfortable.
Although Officer A is just a small cell leader, unfortunately, he happens to be the boss of the two of them. For that little income, if the cell leader doesn't let him go, he will kneel down. Fortunately, Officer A is not unreasonable. People who are unforgiving are still very reasonable and understand the hard work of these grassroots court workers.
"Yes, yes, thank you Brother A for being so generous. There will never be a next time. If we do it again, we will take the initiative to hand over the commission." Now that I have spared myself, will I give some gifts to the prison boss after get off work? The boss will worry about the feeling of wearing small shoes. That’s great, whether it’s holding a few jars of wine, carrying a few kilograms of mutton, or sending the daughter-in-law to serve her for a few days. After all, wine and mutton cost money, and the daughter-in-law can serve her for a few days without any financial loss, and she can still eat it. Their rice for a few days.
The two government officials left with the feeling of surviving a disaster. They ran back to their jobs and stood upright. They had regained their confidence. They had a heavy responsibility. The safety of the Songjiang Mansion Prison must be protected by themselves. .
We have been listening to the conversation of several people just now, and we have overlooked one thing, that is, our beloved Master Li Li Zuozuo. The situation was still very urgent at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a critical moment. Therefore, some people or things are easily ignored, such as Mr. Li being injured again.
"Zhou Li" records that there are three types of bows: Tu Yi, Shi Yi, Tian Yi, Te Yi, Lu Yi and three Yi beside each other. Tu Yi is to cup your hands and stretch them forward, while Shi Yi is to cup your hands and stretch them forward flatly. Tian Yi is to cup your hands and stretch your hands slightly forward. To hold high, the special bow is performed one by one, the brigade bow is performed according to rank, the next three bows are performed to everyone at once, and there is also the long bow, which is to hold the hands high and concentrate from top to bottom. "Shi Yi has a different surname, but Tian Yi has the same surname."
The two Yamen servants used the most common Tian Yi, with the right hand forming a fist and the left hand forming a palm. The right fist was either wrapped or covered. Of course, if you exchanged the two hands, the other party might not be very happy. After all, it was a mourning ceremony. the only way to use it;
No matter what kind of bowing method, we can all find something in common, that is, both hands are used. Unfortunately, Li Xingzuo, who was being supported by two hands, became sad and fell to the ground again. Well, it was a second injury. , so weak that I couldn't even make a sound of pain.
Seeing the two people leaving, Guan Cha Jia was happy. It was the time for him to show off his talents. Usually Mr. Li rarely came to the prison, and it was difficult to get close contact with the leader. Today the opportunity came, and Guan Cha Jia planned to take advantage of it.
"Hey, Mr. Li, look at how careless those boys are at doing things. How did you fall and where does it hurt?" Even after the two of them left, Officer A did not forget to organize them and wanted to help Li Suzuo up.
As a result, well, the first attempt failed. The first reason was that Li was too fat. Although Mrs. Li always found it difficult to fill the gap and wanted to squeeze Li Xing dry, she couldn't bear it. The food in Li's family was good and the ginseng was Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and horns are all staple foods in the Li family, and the deficiencies have been replenished. There is also a tendency to overdo the replenishment. The second point is that Guan Chajia is too thin. Although he eats very well and has various seasonal vegetables, why? There is no shortage of breeding beef and mutton, but they just don’t grow meat. For this reason, Guan Chajia is very distressed. Many people who are not familiar with him think that he is a pariah who climbed out of some ravine. Of course, Guan Chajia is willing to eat but not fat. His special physique is still very enviable by everyone, such as many female spectators.
Fat people are very unpopular as objects of support, and thin people have much less strength. After all, Guan Chajia has never been in shape.
Guan Cha A did not give up and tried again. Finally, Li Dang Zuo changed significantly and lifted his body by more than 20 centimeters. Then Guan Cha A was exhausted and Li Dang Zuo kissed the ground again.
Men can't say no, women can't say casually. Officials don't believe in evil. How can a tall and dignified man be knocked down by the difficulties in front of him? If you face difficulties and face them, you will be a man.
Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and your calves and thighs at a 120-degree angle. This is the angle that experts have found to be the most supportive. Then he bent down, stretched out his hands, and grabbed Li Fangshou's shoulders. He used Qi Luck Dantian to collect all the hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in his body into his hands. He took a full breath, and then Guan Chajia started to exert force. Uh, okay, Guan Chai Jia's internal strength is a bit weak, not enough, not afraid, persistence, persistence is victory, persistence is the basis for overcoming some difficulties. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the rainbow you see without going through wind and rain is also fake, no Abandoning and not giving up, Li Xingzuo finally reacted and his body was slowly lifted up. Guan Cha Jia also saw hope.
"Pfft", okay, Guan Cha A is not discouraged on his lips, but is discouraged on his butt. As the saying goes, once he gets angry, he will weaken again, and then he will be exhausted. The first time he is discouraged, Guan Cha A is doomed to fail. Li Suzuo, who was just lifted up Lying on the ground again, he fell deeply in love with this land, absolutely true love.
Officer A sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "Damn it, you can eat whatever you want to gain weight, it's so difficult to flatter me."
Finally, Li Jingzuo couldn't bear it anymore. He was afraid that if he was tormented by the official a few more times, he would basically say goodbye to his married life in the future.
"You can find someone to help." Li Jingzuo was so angry that he was worried that he would die before he could catch a breath. Everything must be done in moderation. A regular married life can increase the relationship between husband and wife, but if it is full, it will be lost. Things must be reversed when they are extreme. More does not necessarily mean that good.
Official Chai A has thought of this method for a long time, but if there are too many flatterers, the flattery will no longer smell good, it will still hurt, and the effect will be reduced.
No way, the big leader had already spoken, and he could not complete the arduous task of helping Mr. Li up alone. He called the two jailers at the door, and the three of them worked together to move Mr. Li to his office. In order to facilitate Mr. Li to work overtime, there was also a room inside. There was a bed, and Mr. Li was laid flat on the bed. In fact, he was still comfortable lying on his stomach. There was so much flesh pressing on his heart, how could his heart bear it, but the most seriously injured part was his crotch.
After sending the two jailers away, Officer A poured a glass of water. Li drank it pretentiously. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the cup, and hurriedly ordered: "Check quickly, is it broken?"
Officer A was confused, "Sir, something is broken."
"Stop talking nonsense and take off your pants quickly."
Officer A's face instantly turned pale, and he hugged his waistband tightly, with persistence and determination that he had never had before; "I would rather die than obey."
"From your uncle, I'm talking about my pants." Time was running out, and Li Xingzuo didn't care about the dignified and gentle manners of literati, so he cursed loudly.
Officer A compromised. As long as he didn't do anything to him, he could accept it even if he used his mouth. He untied Mr. Li's pants tremblingly. It turned out that Mr. Li also had the habit of not liking to wear pants. Just like him, this didn't count. It can be said that they are like-minded and have a clear understanding of each other.
Officer A was hesitating whether he needed a sip of tea to rinse his mouth. He had just finished eating and his blood was a little spicy, when he heard Li Xingzuo shout: "What are you still doing? Come and see if it's broken." "?
So it turned out that he was overthinking it. Guan Chajia couldn't help but laugh, but there was always a sense of loss in his heart.
I looked at it according to the master's instructions. Well, okay, Master Li's weapon is not big. It is smaller than my own. It is small and capable. It contains the essence. "The master is heroic and majestic. Even the little master is tall His beautiful features are very pleasing to the eye."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Li pretended to be impatient. He kicked others mercilessly when they flattered him.
Fat people always have a trouble. With a bulging belly, they can’t see not only their own toes, but also their brothers. Therefore, it is extremely important to eat properly and exercise.
"Yes, yes, sir"
Continuing to look at it, this thing is twisted in an incredible state. There is an obvious dividing point in the middle, and the two ends form a ninety-degree angle.
Guan Chajia's admiration was beyond words. This kind of difficult skill is not something that ordinary people can accomplish. He couldn't help but give two thumbs up. "Sir, I admire you. I admire you like a torrent of rivers. The flooding of the Yellow River is out of control, another example..."
"It's like a fart, tell me what's going on." The pain in his lower body gave Li a very bad premonition.
"The top is a little curved."
"Ah" Li pretended to sit up and put his hands on his stomach to look. Sure enough, sadness quickly came to his heart, "Mom and dad, I'm sorry for you."
