The woman glanced at him warily, "Why do you ask so many questions?"
Brother Mu smiled helplessly, "I'm just curious. After all, sugar is quite expensive. My sister must be from a wealthy family to be able to afford so much sugar."
The woman's expression softened slightly, with a smug look on her face, "I didn't buy this sugar just to eat it."
Brother Mu pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why is that?"
The woman lowered her voice, "Have you heard of Yuzu Candy?"
Brother Mu's heart skipped a beat, "Can you do it?"
"Of course, it's very simple. I figured it out after trying it a few times." The woman was obviously very happy. She named a location, "I plan to set up a stall there tomorrow to sell grapefruit candies. If you want You can come over if you want to buy some, and I’ll give you some more.”
Brother Mu smiled and thanked her. After watching the woman go away, he turned back to meet the shopkeeper's complicated eyes.
He smiled bitterly and said, "She's right, grapefruit candy is really easy to make."
What surprised him was that someone had just made grapefruit candy now.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are quite reasonable."
If other people were robbed of such a good business, they would definitely become angry.
The guy in front of me was quite indifferent.
"Shopkeeper, do you still sell sugar here?" Brother Mu's thoughts changed, "If I want to buy a large amount of sugar from the shopkeeper, can the price be lower?"
The shopkeeper asked: "How much do you want?"
"Two hundred pounds."
"Two hundred and twenty pounds, I'll give you 2 taels of silver, what do you think?"
Brother Mu's eyes brightened slightly, "Of course it's good."
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to take them to the warehouse and carry away two hundred and twenty kilograms of sugar directly from the warehouse.
A bag of sugar weighs twenty pounds. After coming out of the warehouse, there were eleven more bags of sugar in their car.
Ke Chu went to buy three more bags of saltpeter, and then they returned to the village on an ox cart.
After sending the sugar and saltpeter up the mountain and hiding them, they walked hand in hand to Ke's house.
Seeing that they came back while it was still daylight, Min became more and more sure of her suspicions.
They must have sold all the grapefruit candies to the teahouse.
She asked: "How much money did you earn today?"
Ke Chu said: "No more, no less, two taels of silver."
Min's face twisted.
If they can make so much money just by selling to teahouses, how much can they sell if they sell it in bulk?
These two losers really don’t know how to do business! The grapefruit candy recipe was really wasted in their hands.
She lowered her voice and said, "Ke Chu, when will you give me this grapefruit candy recipe?"
Ke Chu's face darkened, "I never said I would give it to you from the beginning to the end."
Min said unwillingly: "Yesterday you..."
"I just said I would think about it." Ke Chu pulled Brother Mu around the Min family, "We are tired and need to take a good rest."
Min's face turned dark.
have a good rest? Don't even think about it! If this family is not separated, she will make trouble and Ke Chu and Brother Mu will not be able to live in peace!
Late at night, Brother Mu and Ke Chu were sleeping soundly when a few soft sounds suddenly came from their ears.
Ke Chu opened his eyes alertly and looked at the door, only to see a slender stick slipping through the crack of the door and flipping the latch, trying to pry it open.
His eyes turned cold, he covered Brother Mu's ears with the quilt, stood up gently, and opened the door silently.
Mr. Min outside the door subconsciously put the stick behind his back and threw it away. The thief shouted to catch the thief: "What are you doing? You want to scare me to death in the middle of the night?"
Ke Chu stared at her expressionlessly, "What do you want to do?"
Min frowned and said, "I feel hungry. Can't you get up and eat something?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ke Chu's eyes, "Do you want to eat or steal?"
Min's face stiffened.
She originally thought about waking up Brother Mu and Ke Chu on purpose, but when she actually started to do it, she suddenly had an idea and thought that there might be a recipe for grapefruit candy in Ke Chu's room.
She took the risk and wanted to try it, but Ke Chu found her before the door could even be opened.
But she is not afraid if she is discovered! After all, she came here with the intention that no one would have a good time.
She turned around to leave, and when Ke Chu wasn't paying attention, she suddenly pushed Ke Chu away and rushed to the bed, raising her hand to slap Brother Mu in the face.
With a muffled sound, Brother Mu was woken up by Min through the quilt. He opened his eyes, his face full of confusion.
Min's expression was ferocious, "Why are you sleeping? I'm hungry, get up and prepare some food for me!"
"Why are you crazy!" Ke Chu pulled Min up and threw him out.
He thought that Min would leave with a guilty conscience if he was caught as a thief, so he took no precautions against Min.
Who knew Mr. Min was so thick-skinned! He didn't even expect that Mr. Min would hit Brother Mu for no reason.
Min was not angry even after she fell to the ground. Her goal was achieved anyway. She patted her clothes and stood up, smiling gently as if nothing had happened. "Ke Chu, he is my son-in-law. I let him What's wrong with making me some food? If you feel sorry for him, I won't let him cook it for me. Why are you so angry? "
Ke Chu's face was gloomy, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Min said innocently, "Ke Chu, you can't misunderstand me like this. I think I'm very good to Brother Mu. If you don't believe me, ask the mother-in-laws in the village. Which one of them is as easy to talk to as me?"
She said meaningfully, "This guy is just like a girl. When she gets married, her life is in the hands of that family."
How could Ke Chu not hear the threat in Min's words? He stared straight at Min's leaving back with dark eyes.
The Min family is using Brother Mu to force him to separate the family.
"Husband..." Brother Mu's depressed voice came from the room. Ke Chu hurriedly walked into the room, closed the door and locked it.
"Where does it hurt?" He lit the candle and looked at Brother Mu's face through the candlelight.
Brother Mu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, it's blocked by the quilt."
He just didn't react and didn't understand how he was woken up while sleeping.
He asked: "What's wrong? What is she doing here?"
Ke Chu suppressed the anger in his heart and said warmly: "It's nothing, just go to sleep."
Brother Mu nestled his face on his chest, stretched out his hand to pat his back twice, and said in a daze: "My husband is not angry, let's go to sleep..."
Although they didn't know what happened, they couldn't put Min in a bad mood to sleep, it wasn't worth it.
The depression in Ke Chu's heart was wiped away by him with a few taps, and he sighed: "Okay."
Because he was woken up in the middle of the night, it was already bright when Brother Mu woke up.
He stared at the light coming in blankly, blinked, and sat up suddenly.
"Husband!"
He put on his clothes and walked out in a hurry, complaining: "Why didn't you call me?"
Ke Chu was cooking in the kitchen, "I'm not in such a hurry."
He urged: "Go and wash up, I made braised pork."
Brother Mu's eyes lit up, and he came close to Ke Chu, staring directly at the pot, "Has someone killed the pig in the village?"
"Yeah." Ke Chu picked up a piece of pork, blew it cool and put it to Brother Mu's mouth. Brother Mu opened his mouth and was about to eat it, but thought of something and closed his mouth again, "I haven't eaten it yet."
He turned around and rushed out. Ke Chu looked at the unnoticed pork hanging in the air, smiled helplessly, and threw the pork into his mouth.
The stewed pork is so tender and delicious that you will be confused by the aroma after one bite.
Ke Tuo smelled the smell and opened the door. He stood firm on the door frame, stretched his neck and looked into the kitchen, "Brother, I have to keep my share of the pork! Otherwise I will tell mother that you and Brother Mu are eating alone."
Ke Chu ignored Ke Tuo. He put a pot of pork on lotus leaves and let it cool, and cooked another pot of rice.
This was the meal he planned to take up the mountain and eat for lunch.
Brother Mu came over after washing up, and Ke Chu put two pieces of pork into his bowl to satisfy his craving. "We've cooked lean meat porridge in the pot. After that, we'll go up the mountain."
Brother Mu held a mouthful of pork and nodded with satisfaction.
Ke Chu rubbed Brother Mu's head with gentle eyes.
After breakfast, they walked up the mountain.
Ke Tuo watched them go away before he dared to limp into the kitchen with a wooden stick. When he saw that there was not even a fleshy person in the kitchen, he cursed angrily.
After Ke Chu and Mu Geer went up the mountain, they stopped making grapefruit candy and focused on making white sugar grapefruit jam.
In one day, they made five jars of white sugar grapefruit jam.
Brother Mu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, "Husband, this should be enough to sell."
Ke Chu sighed, "Brother Mu, you are still too naive."
Brother Mu looked up at him and blinked.
When they were going down the mountain, Brother Mu told Ke Chu about the woman he met while buying sugar yesterday, "Husband, do you think the grapefruit candy she made will taste better than the grapefruit candy we make?"
Ke Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, as long as it's grapefruit candy."
He said: "Tomorrow we will go to the county to inquire about it."
Brother Mu was a little excited, "If they are really selling grapefruit candies, can we separate from Ke Tuo and the others?"
Ke Chu's eyes darkened slightly, "Even if we have to divide it, we can't let them think that the grapefruit candy recipe is too easy to obtain."
