Chapter 106 Great wealth
Wang Ning'an held the charcoal pen and drew a circle, added two eyes and a curved mouth, and wrote two words below: Happy!
A emoticon package literacy card is ready.
Wang Ningze reached out to take it, his little eyes shining, so beautiful that his nose bubbled out.
"I said Xiao Zeze, you know these two words, so I don't have to worry about it, right?" Wang Ning'an teased his younger brother.
"no!"
Wang Ningze shook his head like a rattle, "My brother said that he would do a complete set of things, so he can't cheat! I know him, and I can't write it."
"I've lie, my mother has taught you a long time ago." Wang Luoxiang came over with a plate of snacks and exposed Wang Ningze's lies without hesitation.
"Then, my sister must learn too!"
"Me?" Wang Luoxiang pointed to his nose and shouted strangely: "You are more than half the words you recognize are not as good as me."
Wang Ningze was also anxious and argued: "I, can't I give it to my friends?"
"Of course not, are you willing to give your brother's things to others?"
Wang Ningze was really anxious, so anxious that he was about to cry, "I, I just want my brother to do it."
"But brother is so busy, he will be very tired." Wang Luoxiang suddenly hit Wang Ningze's painful foot. The little guy seemed to have never noticed it before. Yes, brother is also tired, so he shouldn't cause trouble for him...
"I, I don't want it!"
The little guy tried hard to jump up, stretched out his hand to grab the blank cardboard on the table, and the three jumps were not enough, but he was anxious. Wang Ning'an smiled and grabbed his brother's armpit and picked up the little guy up.
"Okay, you feel sorry for your brother. This little thing doesn't matter. On New Year's Eve, your brother will definitely make a good set for you with his own hands, which is better than the old drunkard snatched it away!"
Wang Ningze finally burst into tears and smiled, stretched out his hand to hold his brother's neck.
Wang Luoxiang blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes were very beautiful and eccentric.
"Where are me, what did my brother give me?"
"I'll give you a big pot of candy, but you won't be able to eat your teeth!"
Wang Ning'an shavedly his sister's nose, then hugged Wang Ningze with one hand, pulled Wang Luoxiang with the other, and ran to the kitchen behind.
There is a big pot in the kitchen, with many wooden barrels placed on the ground, and the wooden barrels are filled with slightly yellowed juice.
Wang Ning'an scooped a little and handed it to the two little guys. They took a sip and all showed a surprise expression.
"It's so sweet!"
“There are even sweeter ones!”
Wang Ning'an directed a few people to pour the juice into the iron pot and burn the firewood below. Taking advantage of this skill, Wang Luoxiang asked her to invite her mother over. Wang Ning'an explained the situation to her. After listening for a while, Bai quickly asked someone to patrol outside carefully. Never let outsiders listen.
"Ning'an, listen to me. If you have such a big deal in the future, you are not allowed to be casual, otherwise your mother will be angry."
What is worth mobilizing the Bai family?
It turns out that what Wang Ning'an made was to squeeze sugar!
As we all know, sugarcane and beet are two major sources of sugar. Sugarcane is produced in the south, and Wang Ning'an cannot get it. Even if it is transported, it will deteriorate.
As for beets, that thing was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more unmatched.
However, this is not difficult for Wang Ning'an. There is also a source of sugar, which is licking sorghum! Commonly known as sweet poles, I lived in the countryside in my previous life. I planted a little sweet sorghum at home, which was only the size of a thumb, but the sugar content was no less than sugarcane.
When I grew up, although I often chewed sugarcane, I was not as impressed with sweet poles. It was probably the taste of home...
In spring, when you want to plant sorghum to make wine, Wang Ning'an thought of growing some sweet sorghum.
The last time he suppressed the rebellion, Wang Ning'an lived in Daming Mansion for a while, and finally opened his eyes. There was already white sugar on the market, which was said to be produced in Fujian. A small bag costs two cents of money.
It looks less than two pounds.
Good, one stone of grain is less than the same money as you!
Why is sugar so expensive?
Wang Ning'an was stunned and his mind became active. If he could get candy, it would definitely be a source of wealth!
When I came back, I was busy with the academy. Finally, the entrance exam was over. Wang Ning'an took the time to prepare to squeeze sugar.
The process of squeezing sugar in sweet sorghum is similar to that in sugar cane, they are first crushed, squeezed out the juice, filtered, and then put it in a large pot to boil. After boiling for two hours, the water will be evaporated to dryness.
Lay a mat on the ground, make a frame with wood, pour the boiled syrup into the wooden frame, and place a partition in the middle. When the sugar solidifies, it will turn into pieces of brown sugar.
Just filter it again and you can get the snow-white sucrose...
It's easy to say but hard to do. Until midnight, the sugar finally solidified.
Wang Luoxiang's eyes were red, and they were of the same color as brown sugar, and she couldn't bear to leave. The candy was ready, so she couldn't wait to stretch out her hand, break a piece, and stuff it into her mouth.
Licking, sweet to the heart!
The little girl's eyes narrowed into a slit, and she couldn't help but want to eat. Bai stretched out her hand and patted her.
"It's big night, just eat some, hurry up and go to bed." Bai drove his children out and told them, "Remember to rinse their mouths."
When he returned to the kitchen again, Bai's eyes widened, looking at the pieces of brown sugar on the ground, breathing rapidly, and was so happy that he was about to faint!
Her husband and son have been away from home for several months. She has to take care of the children and deal with business matters. She is very tired, but also fulfilling.
Bai's business talent is becoming more and more obvious. The family's business is booming, and the woman is naturally meticulous, so she does much better than Wang Ning'an.
In my mind, one acre of sweet sorghum can produce 500 kilograms of juice and produce 50 kilograms of sugar. About two acres of sweet sorghum can produce one stone of sugar. One stone of white sugar can be sold for 150 jin in Bianjing, and in Daming Mansion, it is nearly 200 jin. The more north it is, the more expensive it is. If you can get to Liao Kingdom, you can sell for 300 jin!
What a huge profit this is, it is more than a hundred times more than farming!
The unlucky child was too careless and did not plan well. He just took out the candy casually. If the news leaked and the cooked duck flew away, he couldn't even find the right way to cry.
Bai quickly found her husband and asked him to arrange for his most confidant person to keep the secret of the kitchen, and then carefully investigated it to ensure that the secret did not spread.
After a dawn, the family of three got together.
"How many kinds of sweet sorghum are grown?" Wang Liangjing spoke first. The Wang family needed too many places to use money. Not to mention the original Bow and Archery Club, he brought back more than 500 people, including food, clothing, flowers, weapons, equipment, and training, and food. Everything is inseparable from money. Now that he is carrying such a huge burden on the academy, it is absolutely impossible not to get money faster.
Bai's family calmed down, "There can't be much more, just like white sugar. Moreover, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be seen by outsiders. We know that we grow sweet sorghum and we sell white sugar. It is easy to figure out what we do and it is not difficult to learn."
"If you learn, learn. Anyway, a hundred times the huge profit is not much, even ten times!" Wang Liangjing insisted.
Bai did not say much to her husband, but turned to Wang Ning'an.
"You make an idea."
Wang Ning'an grinned, "Mom, you know more about business than me, but I think the key to sugar is sales. We are too small and have no influence after leaving Cangzhou. For such a big business, if you want to eat a piece of fat, you still have to find someone to cooperate with."
"Who?" Wang Liangjing asked with Bai.
"Of course it's uncle Cao Qi." Wang Ning'an smiled.
