Chapter 311 Want to Open a Sugar Shop
Xu Minghan thought about it carefully, and then said to Lin Shuran: "Mom, should we open a caramel shop? There are very few such shops in the capital, and the price of good caramel is high. There are many wealthy families who buy it. There will be sugar shortages, if we open a sugar shop, it should be very profitable."

Xu Minghan's proposal caught Lin Shuran's eyes. Opening a sugar shop is really a good idea, and she also knows how to turn brown sugar into white sugar, and knows how to make all kinds of candies, but the raw materials are a bit troublesome.

So, she expressed her worries to Xu Minghan, but Xu Minghan smiled confidently and said to her: "Mother, don't worry about raw materials. I know there are merchants selling sugar from other places in the capital. I can buy them from them." To sugar!"

"In this case, I will leave this shop to you. From today onwards, you will be the owner of this new shop!" Lin Shuran smiled and pushed the deed to Xu Minghan, since Xu Minghan was born to do business , then don’t bury his talent, let him start exercising now, which will also help him revitalize the Ren family in the future.

"Me?" Xu Minghan was surprised and pleasantly surprised. Lin Shuran nodded to him, and gave him another 500 taels of silver, saying that these were start-up funds. , asked, "Mom, do you really believe me?"

The matter of opening a shop can be big or small, isn't Lin Shuran afraid that he is young and inexperienced and ruins the shop?Their General's Mansion is different from other wealthy families, the family's available money is actually not rich, at the end of the year Xu Junze will take away a large amount of money from the family, leaving them only for a year's spending.

"Of course I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have decided to hand over the new shop to you. Just do it, and I'll help you. You don't have to worry about money, we still have some wealth!" Lin Shuran said with a very generous smile.

family property?This made Xu Minghan think of Lin Shuran's dowry. The money for shopping and opening the store could not be Lin Shuran's dowry money?This silver cannot be moved.

"Mother, I'd better take some money from the public for temporary use. I can't use your own money. I will definitely make money and return the money." Xu Minghan also wanted to take this opportunity to test his ability, and he was very serious about himself. I am very confident that I will never let the money go to waste.

"This is the money of the public!" Lin Shuran said in order to dispel Xu Minghan's worries, "Don't think about whether you can make money by opening a shop, just treat it as a very common thing, and don't put too much pressure on yourself , and remember one sentence, a businessman has no virtue and no wealth, but you can’t lose the fundamentals of being a human being just to make money in business.”

Facing Lin Shuran's exhortation, Xu Minghan kept it in mind, and then Lin Shuran asked him to go to the shop first, and after he separated from Xu Minghan, Lin Shuran came to the back kitchen of the mansion.

As soon as the servants in the back kitchen saw her coming, they asked her if she was thirsty or hungry, or if she wanted to eat something.

"Ma'am, just ask someone to tell you what you need, and you don't have to go there yourself!" Everyone carefully protected Lin Shuran. Now that General Xu Junze is not at home, they must take good care of Lin Shuran and the child in her belly. If she made a mistake, when the general came back, ten lives would not be enough for them to pay.

Lin Shuran walked to the cupboard where the sugar bowl was placed, and reached out to get the sugar bowl. The clever little maid Ping'er immediately handed the sugar bowl to her with both hands, and said with a serious face: "Ma'am, don't do it yourself, what do you need?" Just tell the servant, and the servant will bring it to you!"

"I'm not a useless person, I can do anything!" Lin Shuran opened the sugar bowl, inside was the most common brown sugar cubes in this time and space. Generally, the brown sugar used by rich families is relatively fine, but in Lin Shuran's opinion, compared with the current craftsmanship The brown sugar that comes out is still worse, and there is no white sugar or toffee in this time and space, but some candies with nuts and flowers added, but it is more like a small snack, which is different from the ones she ate in modern times. All kinds of candies with various flavors and bright colors are very different.

"Ping'er, go find some charcoal for me, and find me a piece of clean gauze. Everyone else can go about their own affairs, as long as Ping'er can help me!" Lin Shuran told the cooks not to surround her Wandering around, she planned to experiment with turning brown sugar into white sugar first.

Lin Shuran is the master, and everyone can only obey her orders. Ping'er quickly found what Lin Shuran needed, and then Lin Shuran asked her to help light the fire, and began to boil brown sugar in the pot, and added the charcoal into it , stirring constantly.

Seeing a can of brown sugar boiled by Lin Shuran into brown sugar water and adding charcoal, everyone just sighed helplessly, wondering if Lin Shuran's behavior was different from usual because of her pregnancy, but seeing her face With a smile on her face, the woman in charge of the purchase decided to go out later and buy two more cans of brown sugar, just in case Lin Shuran wanted to boil brown sugar with added ingredients on a whim!

Now all the staff in the General's Mansion just want to make Lin Shuran happy and comfortable, not to mention boiling brown sugar for fun, even if she wants to dismantle the back kitchen, as long as she is happy, anything is fine.

"Ma'am, what are you going to do next, tell this servant, let this servant do it!" Lingqin was worried that the heat in the pot would hurt Lin Shuran, and after she told Ping'er to stop the fire, it seemed that the next step was to use gauze to filter those The color of the sugar water has changed a little, the strange thing is that the color of the brown sugar water has become much lighter, but because it is boiling water, Lingqin is also worried that it will burn Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran didn't insist on doing it by herself, so she directed Lingqin to filter the charcoal-added brown sugar water into a bowl with gauze. After a while, everyone found that the filtered sugar water turned colorless. What's going on, everyone looked at Lin Shuran in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuran asked Ping'er to heat the pot again, put the bowl of colorless sugar water in the steamer, and after a while, take out the bowl with only a quarter of the sugar water left and let it cool, and let it cool down naturally Suddenly, a crystal white substance appeared at the bottom of the bowl, which looked like refined salt from a distance.

"Ma'am, what is this?" Ping'er looked at the small white particles at the bottom of the bowl like a curious baby and asked, this is made of sugar, it can't be salt, right? !
Lin Shuran dipped a little white granule with his hand and put it on the tip of his tongue for a while, showing a smile on his face, but everyone in the kitchen was shocked. It was sugar water and charcoal, can it be eaten?
