Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

After leaving the store, Li Nian was so happy that he almost jumped up.

I didn't expect that brown sugar would be so valuable these days. I'm going to make a fortune!

Finally, I finally found a way to make money!

The method of boiling sugar would not be introduced to the Tang Dynasty for at least ten years. Moreover, the technology was not perfect enough. The boiled sugar was only brown sugar. As for white sugar, the price was doubled.

"I remember that during the Tang Dynasty, there was already sugarcane in the Central Plains!"

After leaving the grocery store, Li Nian deliberately wandered around and made sure that there was no one behind him. Only then did he feel at ease to start looking for the sugarcane he had been thinking about.

After all, he was alone now, and the white sugar was so precious. Who knew if the fat boss would be so cruel as to snatch the white sugar from him.

Fortunately, after walking around for a few times, he didn't find anyone following him, so Li Nian was relieved.

After walking around for most of the time, he finally found the familiar sugarcane in front of a store.

At that moment, Li Nian was so excited that he almost cried.

If there was no sugarcane, he would have only the method of making sugar but no raw materials. Fortunately, my Tang Dynasty also has sugarcane.

When he came to the front of the store, Li Nian asked about the price and 500 Wen He bought a large cart of sugarcane at a price of , and the store owner also thoughtfully gave him a free delivery service, which was delivered directly to his shabby yard.

He gave the driver two cents, and the two worked for an incense stick of time, and finally moved the sugarcane down.

Looking at the sugarcane, Li Nian's heart finally settled down.

The orange setting sun sprinkled in the yard, and it was already evening.

Looking at the empty yard, an inexplicable loneliness surged in his heart.

After sorting out his mood, Li Nian was about to light a fire and cook.

In the afternoon, he did get all the food ready, thanks to the thoughtful delivery service of the boss who sold the sugarcane. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to get so many things back.

""Bang, bang, bang!"

The dilapidated door made a sound.

Li Nian immediately became alert and asked,"Who is it?"

"I am from the Su family in the alley. My grandfather asked me to come here!"

A clear girl's voice sounded outside the door.

Li Nian opened the door and saw a girl in simple but pretty clothes standing in front of the door, holding a bowl in her hand.

"Who are you?"

After looking the girl up and down, I have to admit that the girl in front of me is really beautiful.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her skin is white as snow, and although she is young and dressed simply, she makes people feel amazing.

"My name is Su Tan'er, and my grandfather is Old Man Su who sells things at the street corner!"

Pointing at the street corner, Su Tan'er said,"You paid too much today, and my grandfather told me to bring these to you."

"It turned out to be that old man!"

Li Nian didn't expect that the other party would take his unintentional action so seriously.

Looking at the pretty little girl in front of him, he wanted to say a few more words, so he asked:"How did your grandfather know that I live here?"

Raising her snow-white chin, Su Tan'er smiled lightly, revealing two cute dimples and said:

"People who go to Grandpa's to eat are all from the nearby alleys. My Grandpa asked me to wait at the entrance of the alley. I just saw you come back, so I knew it!"

Li Nian was stunned when he heard it.

Good guy, just for a few coins, he has been waiting for me.

Of course, his heart was also slightly warmed.

In this Tang Dynasty, at least there are people who care about him. This inexplicable feeling made him very moved.

"Thank you very much!"

Li Nian took the bowl of rice, which was filled with snow-white tofu pudding, and thanked him.

"We are all neighbors, you’re welcome!"

Su Tan’er clapped her hands, glanced into the yard with her big eyes, and asked curiously,"Are you the only one in your home?"

"Yes, I am the only one."

Li Nian smiled bitterly and scratched his head.

"What are you burning? It seems to be burnt!"

Su Tan'er frowned and said

""Oh no!"

Li Nian hurried back to the kitchen, only to see smoke rising from the stove and the rice that had just been cooked had turned into a paste.

"You are such a careless person!"

Looking at the flustered Li Nian, Su Tan'er rolled up her sleeves and pulled Li Nian aside. She cleaned the stove skillfully, took out rice from the rice jar and started a fire.

The girl worked in front of the stove for a while, and soon, bursts of fragrance filled the air.

""Alright!"

Clapping her hands, Su Tan'er looked at all this with a smile and said,"Wait a moment, then you can eat!"

Li Nian on the side was stunned.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you live alone, how come you can't even cook!"

Shaking her head, Su Tan'er said,"I'll help you just this once, but don't blame me if you don't have a meal in the future!"

Li Nian said,"I'm just not used to these kitchen utensils!"

""You're so stubborn!"

Su Tan'er rolled her eyes at Li Nian, clapped her hands and left, saying casually:"I'm leaving, don't see me off!"

Li Nian also felt amused when she saw the girl leaving in a hurry.

After a while, the aroma of food came.

Under an oil lamp, Li Nian sat at the table and ate her first meal in this world.

The food was simple, a plate of leeks and a bowl of rice. I don't know if it was because of my stomach or because of Su Tan'er, but

Li Nian ate it very sweetly.

After filling his stomach, it was completely dark.

The three tile houses had been cleaned up and bright, and the lights were lit in the main room. Li Nian rolled up his sleeves and Come on, work hard.

The first step in making sugar is to squeeze the sugar cane into juice.

There was no juicer back then, so it had to be done manually. Fortunately, there was a large grinding plate in the yard.

Li Nian peeled the sugar cane clean, then placed it on the grinding plate, and squeezed it as hard as he could with a wooden stick, and the juice flowed into the wooden barrel along the groove. After working for nearly two hours, 200 kilograms of sugar cane finally became 60 kilograms of juice.

It could have squeezed out more juice, but Li Nian's thin arms and legs were really difficult, so he could only do this.

Li Nian filtered the 60 kilograms of juice several times with gauze, and then put the sugarcane juice into a large earthen pot on the earthen stove to steam and boil.

He learned this method of boiling sugar on a certain audio platform in his previous life. He made ginger candy for his girlfriend, but he never thought that it would come to his mind today.

During the period of boiling sugar, the entire stove was on fire, burning and boiling all the time.

Li Nian continuously added firewood to the stove to ensure stable firepower during the sugar boiling process.

After nearly an hour of boiling, the water in the sugarcane juice was evaporated, and the sugar juice slowly condensed and turned into amber. Amber color, floating in the big pot, and emitting a sweet smell.

Seeing this step, Li Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. When the syrup became thick, he turned off the fire at the bottom of the pot, and then scooped the steaming brown sugar juice into the wooden trough and flowed it into the"sugar plate" to precipitate and cool, forming brown sugar blocks.

After doing all this, three or two chickens were heard outside the yard, and Li Nian woke up and realized that he had been busy all night!

At this moment, Li Nian did not dare to leave, and kept staring with big eyes, waiting for the syrup to condense into blocks, and then carefully put it all away.

60 jin of juice, in the end, only about 6 jin of sugar cubes were obtained.

Li Nian carefully put away the sugar cubes, then found a bamboo basket and hung it on the beam.

After doing all this, he was relieved and crawled back to the bedroom with a tired body.

Lying on the bed, his eyelids were already heavy, but when he thought of 1 liang of brown sugar, which was worth 1 guan of money, 6 jin of brown sugar, which was 60 guan, according to the price of rice, 1 guan of money was equivalent to 4,000 yuan in later generations, so he made a small profit of 20 dabuluo.

Of course, the prices of ancient and modern things cannot be converted in this way, but in general, this wave is not a loss.

500 Wen earns 60 guan, and then he can make sugar with money, and then use sugar to exchange money, and then use the money to buy materials. At that time, he can hire people to do it, and do enterprise, scale, and group.

I want to be the sugar king of the Tang Dynasty!

Under this beautiful dream, Li Nian fell asleep.
