Lin Shuran hurriedly opened the food box, which contained a jar of white sugar and some candies wrapped in colored paper, and explained to the queen mother with a smile: "Your Majesty, these are the white sugar and candies I have newly figured out in the mansion. The third child will also open a small sugar shop, thinking to give some to the queen mother to taste, there are milk candy and crisp candy, you should like it."

As she said that, Lin Shuran first took out a small box of toffee, but she also knew the rules in the palace. Anything brought into the palace from outside, especially food, must first be tested by the servants in the palace to see if it is poisonous. .

Aunt Chang stepped forward to take the toffee box from Lin Shuran's hand, and then looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother nodded with a smile. Aunt Chang opened the box and took out a candy and sent it to the Queen Mother. The trust in Lin Shuran is also extremely strong.

The Queen Mother peeled off the candy wrapper curiously, and a faint milky scent wafted into her nose, and then she saw a white candy in the candy wrapper, which was shorter than the little finger, and there was a layer of transparent paper as thin as a cicada's wing outside, I wanted to peel off this layer of tissue paper, but found that it seemed to be glued to the candy.

"Empress Dowager, this is glutinous rice paper, and it is edible!" Lin Shuran explained at the right time, and then took out a piece of candy from the food box and peeled it off. There was also a candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper. Put it in your mouth.

The queen mother was surprised, she had never eaten anything with paper, glutinous rice paper - this was the first time she had heard of it, but she didn't back away from trying it because she saw something novel, but smiled and Put the candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper into your mouth, not to mention that the paper melts when it meets water, and the sweet feeling fills the whole mouth in an instant, it is delicious.

Then, Lin Shuran introduced white sugar to the queen mother, saying that it is white and clean, and has a high sweetness, which is suitable for making all kinds of snacks. Dish.

How could the Queen Mother let Lin Shuran, who was pregnant, cook for her? Instead, she called the imperial chef and asked Lin Shuran to tell him the method, and then let him do it. And today she wants to keep Lin Shuran in the palace for dinner. .

Concubine Yun also came to the Empress Dowager's palace when she heard the news that Lin Shuran had entered the palace. Princess Jiangyue also followed. Lin Shuran also brought her candy. After eating a piece of toffee, Princess Jiangyue fell in love with candy completely, Lin Shuran warned her not to eat too much candy, as eating too much can be harmful to teeth.

"Auntie, Jiangyue knows!" Little Jiangyue stared anxiously at a box of candies and said in frustration. She is a girl who likes sweets, how can she resist eating so many sweets in the future!It's so hard!

When it was time for lunch, the chef cooked a few dishes according to the recipes and methods mentioned by Lin Shuran, which more or less used some white sugar. Unexpectedly, the food tasted more delicious, especially the shredded sweet potato dish It is also the first time for the imperial chef to try it, but the chef is a chef, and he cooks it well, which is deeply loved by the queen mother and Princess Jiangyue.

"Since the third child of your family wants to open a sugar shop, there should be some white sugar in his hand?" After lunch, the Queen Mother looked at Lin Shuran and asked with a smile.

Lin Shuran nodded, she also knew that she couldn't hide her careful thoughts from the Queen Mother, she entered the palace today to "promote" Xu Minghan's soon-to-open sugar shop in the palace, now that the Queen Mother can eat white sugar and say hello, then others will be happy The scruples and suspicions of a new thing like white sugar will become relatively less.

What Lin Shuran didn't expect was that the queen mother directly said that Xu's family would send sugar to the palace in the future. This was the first big business that Lin Shuran signed for Xu Minghan's sugar shop before the opening, which was really a surprise.

"Mother, the Empress Dowager really said to ask our family to provide sugar to the palace?" With no worries about food and clothing, Xu Minghan was a little dazed all of a sudden.

"That's right, are you scared?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Minghan and asked, and then said, "Don't worry, I will help you!"

Xu Minghan immediately shook his head and replied: "Mother, I'm not afraid. Being able to do business with the palace is what every businessman dreams of. Others can't gossip."

"Whether it's business or work, don't be afraid of other people's gossip. We can't control what people want to say when they open their mouths. We can do our own things well and have a clear conscience. The long-term business is to ensure quality and quantity. As a plan, remember, you can’t be a profiteer. A profiteer will gain a short-term profit, but it will destroy your own foundation, and there will be no good results.” Lin Shuran was only worried that Xu Minghan was young and inexperienced, and that no one would teach him. I am afraid that I will go crooked while walking on this road.

"Mom, I understand!" Xu Minghan assured.

The other children of the Xu family also tried their best to help Xu Minghan's sugar shop "advertise". The fourth child, Xu Mingfan, deliberately brought some candies into the Imperial College for his teachers and classmates to taste. He used his identity to go to various banquets in the city, and took the opportunity to spread the news that the Xu family was going to open a sugar shop.

On the day of the actual opening, the small sugar shop of the Xu family was crowded with people, and soon the jars of sugar were taken away, and all the candies were sold out, even the white sugar and various kinds of sugar sold by the Xu family were sold. The price of candy was not low, but it was quickly sold out, especially when it was heard that white sugar was specially provided for the palace, and more people bought it.

On the first day the Xu family sugar store opened, within half a day, all the items were sold out, and the newly arrived goods were sold out again before they were even placed on the shelves. I thought I couldn’t just do business for one day. , there will be goods opening tomorrow, so Xu Minghan decided to close the business for a long time.

"Third brother, I didn't expect the business of our sugar shop to be so good. I almost lost my candy today!" Xu Minghao hid in the backyard of the sugar shop and peeled off another candy and put it in his mouth. It was hawthorn-flavored candy. The sweet and sour taste is delicious.

"I didn't expect it to be like this!" Xu Minghan said with a wry smile. He was still a little uncomfortable with such a big battle when he was actually doing business for the first time, but his heart was still firm, and everything was beyond his expectations and expected Among them, he can still calm down and deal with it.

"Young master, a few people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce came outside and said they wanted to talk to you about something!" At this moment, the shop boy came to Xu Minghan and said.

Xu Minghan frowned, he had only opened for half a day, and people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce came here. These people have good noses, and they know that Lin Shuran is in charge of the Xu family, but they don't go to her, but to themselves This half-grown child has an impure heart!
