My whole family is dancing

Chapter 355 The Back Door Went to the Emperor

Baifuer doesn't care what's going on with the two houses of the Wei family, as long as it's the Wei family who do business with them, and they can get their money back after the candy is shipped, then everything will be fine.

"I'm coming."

There was a commotion in the arena, Wei Yunjing led Bai Fuer to the back of the line, and soon five officials in court uniforms came to the door, and Bai Fuer could not judge the rank of these officials from their clothes. I can only follow the bow of the crowd.

The eyes of the five officials swept over the crowd, "The imperial court purchased a total of 50 catties of brown sugar and rock sugar. Today's selection of sugar depends on each family's ability. The winner needs to deliver enough sugar before June next year."

"If you feel that you can't bear it, you can leave now."

50 catties, which is a bit more than what was originally said, everyone discussed with their own people one after another, and one family chose to withdraw on its own.

The father and son of the Wei family looked at Baifuer, and Baifuer nodded. Baijia's sugar workshop has been expanded over the past few years. There are [-] direct-air stoves, which are non-stop from morning to night for eight hours a day. With the start of work, a stove can make [-] catties of brown sugar a day.

With enough sugar cane, 50 catties of brown sugar is naturally not a problem for them.

The father and son smiled and continued to listen to the officials.

"Today's selection of sugar depends on one's ability. Those who are selected should prepare well. Those who are not selected will wait for the next year. The next time the court will ask for 50 catties of sugar, which is only a lot more."

"Now, follow along."

The five adults turned around, and the merchants behind them hurriedly followed them. They passed through two doors and came to a large courtyard. There were already two rows of long tables in the courtyard, and there were openings for running errands. "Sentimental merchants, bring your Sugar stands in front of the first row of tables and puts the box of sugar on the table."

Wei Yunjing stepped forward to put down the sugar, and soon a handyman came forward with a plate, and each handed out a plate and a number plate, saying: "There is a number on the bottom of the plate, which is the same as the number in your hands. Now, please put your brown sugar and rock sugar for election on the plate, and take a step back after setting it up."

"The five adults, please turn around."

Everyone still did the same. On the long table on the other side, a handyman had already placed many small dishes, and there was a stove at one foot in the yard with water, which seemed to be brewing.

Bai Fuer, Wei Erye and others stood behind, and many people around them were also whispering, some were very relaxed, some were very annoyed, and some were saying that the selection this time was very fair.

There was only one person between Wei Yunkun and Wei Yunjing, and it was almost obvious at a glance that the rock candy that Erfang was running for this time was different. It was much smaller than theirs, and it was cleaner and more thorough. His eyes flickered and he continued to arrange himself. of sugar.

The crowd quickly set it up, and the handymen signaled everyone to back off, and then exchanged the order a few times with the trays. It is possible that the person who placed the candy didn't know which tray was their own candy.

There were two small bowls in front of each plate of sugar, and the handymen took brown sugar and rock sugar from the plates and put them into small bowls, and then brewed them with water, and waited until everything was ready before shouting, "Sentient sugar!" The five adults turned around."

The five of them were polite to each other, and then began to choose candy, looking at it, smelling it, and kneading it with their hands. The five of them looked at it very seriously.

There is no way if you are not serious. Yesterday, the higher-ups gave an explanation. Some people went to the emperor with their hands and eyes, and the higher-ups asked them to choose sugar carefully, and choose good sugar carefully.
