My whole family is dancing

The rock sugar boiled into bubbles is wrapped with bright red hawthorns. There are only two hawthorns in a bunch. After wrapping them up, put them on the haystack to cool. After a while, more than 20 bunches were inserted on the haystack. I'm almost drooling.

In the end, Baifuer used the sugar from the bottom of the pot to skewer a big one, six hawthorns, "Look at it, this skewer is yours, and you can eat it when the sugar on top is cold."

"Don't just eat sugar when eating, but bite with hawthorn, or your teeth will be sour."

Bai Yegen nodded again and again, just guarding his hawthorn eagerly.

County magistrate Yu and others arrived earlier than Baifuer expected. A dozen or so people headed by the county magistrate got out of the car at the gate of Baijia, and Baifuer's old acquaintance, Mr. Liu, was inside.

"Mr. Liu, when did you come?"

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "I arrived yesterday, Miss Fu'er seems to have grown a lot taller."

What Baifuer likes to hear the most now is when people say that she is tall, and she smiles with crooked eyebrows, "It is tall."

"Mr. Liu." She looked up and down, "Well, it looks better than last year."

It's not that obscene anymore.

Mr. Liu.
Does it mean that he was ugly last year?

"Everyone please come inside."

Although Zhang Xianyu was mainly responsible for the conversation, the whole family was here today, and they all wanted to see how much the new rock candy at home could sell for.

Waiting for everyone to enter the door, Bai Changqing closed the door, not wanting people from the village to watch the fun.

County magistrate Yu and the merchants who came sat down around the square table. After exchanging pleasantries, they got to the point. The magistrate Yu spoke last, "The matter of brown sugar that can be made by hundreds of families is very important. As long as it involves brown sugar Open the door of convenience."

As soon as these words came out, the three Chang'an brothers thanked them again and again, and said a couple of words of gratitude.

Magistrate Yu was very satisfied, and then introduced a middle-aged man in royal blue satin clothes, "This is the magistrate of Wenshui County, Magistrate Wang."

Immediately afterwards, he introduced the two people next to him, "This is County Magistrate Wu of Bailu County."

"This is County Magistrate Wei of Songxi County."

All the families stood up to salute, and the Bai Chang'an brothers were a little excited. They never thought that four county magistrates would come to the house at once, which somewhat meant that the ancestors were smoking green smoke.

Yu County Magistrate said, "The county magistrates are all here to help the people in the county sell sugar cane."

It turned out that under the lobbying of the county magistrate, several county magistrates called on the people under their rule to plant sugar cane, and they also patted their chests and said that they would sell them all.

Of course, it was County Magistrate Yu who patted his chest in the first place. Now that the sugar cane has been planted, he must ask County Magistrate Yu to talk about the future, which is why today's trip came about.

Zhang Xianyu spoke confidently, "Baijia's brown sugar workshop has expanded, more than three times the size of last year, so it can naturally eat more sugar cane."

As soon as she said this, several county magistrates were relieved, and the county where several county magistrates were located was not rich, the county government was poor, and the people in the county were even poorer. The sugarcane in the hands of the people is purchased, and then the county government organizes people to deliver it by water. It is hoped that Baijia can purchase sugarcane at last year's sugarcane purchase price.

This is to make the middleman earn the price difference, but it saves a lot of trouble.

Bai Changqing explained in detail Baijia's classification of sugarcane grades and prices, and several county magistrates accepted it, so everyone was happy.

After talking about the sugar cane, the county magistrate introduced the merchants who came to buy brown sugar.

The merchants were very eager to buy brown sugar, and the county magistrate Yu said, "This year, the imperial court wants [-] catties of brown sugar, and they can only pay at last year's price. I don't know what the remaining brown sugar will be priced this year."

There are sugar cane in so few counties, [-] catties is not a big problem, and the magistrate Yu has done a lot of things in it, and an appropriate profit should be given, but before talking about the price, Zhang Xianyu smiled, "The price is not for the time being. Busy, today I will show you the new rock candy from Baijia."

Baijia released new candy?

Master Wei and the others were shocked, and the county magistrate Yu was the most surprised, he didn't hear any news.

Small bamboo baskets, white gauze, and yellow rock sugar came out from one end. Everyone stretched their necks to look carefully. Seeing that the rock sugar was clean and pure, Baifuer smiled and had crooked eyebrows. Although some of it melted away after washing with boiling water, it still looked good. It looks better.

Zhang Xianyu said, "You can taste it as you like. This sugar also comes from sugar cane. It is more complicated and takes longer to make than brown sugar. It is not easy for us to get such a little bit. It has been carefully preserved for nearly a year."

"According to our understanding in the past year, this sugar is harder than brown sugar and easier to preserve. According to its appearance like ice, we roughly call it rock sugar."

"This candy is hard. As long as it is not crushed in your mouth, it can be sweet for a long time. You can drink it with warm water or make pastries. It should be more versatile than rock sugar."

"The bad thing is that it tends to melt when it's too hot, but it won't disappear completely. It's just that the outside will become sticky, but it doesn't affect its taste."

Everyone is tasting, and there are constant voices of wonder.

At this time, Baifuer came with her haystack, and told everyone with a smile, "This is boiled with rock sugar and wrapped in hawthorn. It's sweet and sour. Does anyone want to taste it?"

Magistrate Yu smiled, "Miss Fu'er, give me a bunch."

"Fu'er, bring me a bunch too."

"I'll have a bunch too."

The red hawthorn is sour just looking at it, and I heard that it was wrapped in rock sugar, and everyone became interested again. There are about forty bunches, which can almost guarantee that everyone has it. I made a demonstration, "Bite a bit bigger, and the sweet and sour blend, the taste is the best."

Why not come in person?

Because her front teeth fell out in the past two months, and they haven't grown out yet, she couldn't speak at first, but now she doesn't dare to laugh out loud, so angry.

Bai Yegen bit off half of the hawthorn in front of everyone, and then narrowed his eyes happily, "It's delicious."

The people in the yard also started to taste with a smile. Of course not all of them took a sip like him, but no matter how they ate it, they all nodded repeatedly, and they were more interested in the rock sugar.

Magistrate Yu looked at the remaining hawthorn in his hand, "When was this made?"

Bai Fuer told her, "When I made brown sugar at the beginning of the year, why did I try to get new sugar, but I spent a lot of thought and wasted a lot of brown sugar. My father was distressed for a long time, and finally got this rock sugar."

"No one has seen Bingtang before, and we dare not say it rashly. In case there is any problem, we have only launched it after so long of verification."

This also explained why the matter should be kept secret, and the county magistrate was relieved to be a little unhappy.

Naturally, it is better to be cautious about the things that are imported.

"This rock candy, isn't it cheap?"
