Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 385 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (20)

Shen Shushan and Shen Shulan's early education went very smoothly. Shen Shuyi went home with Chu Yi in the afternoon, carrying a lot of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) with her.

It's an ash-water rice dumpling, which usually doesn't have any filling, but Zhuang Mei added red dates, giving it a slightly sweet taste.

She said to Chu Yi, "This will taste better if you dip it in white sugar."

Actually, she prefers big meat-filled rice dumplings! Unfortunately, in this day and age, who could afford to eat meat-filled rice dumplings?

"White sugar?" Chu Yi was puzzled; he had never heard of this term before.

Shen Shuyi thought about it and realized that the original owner did not have any memory of white sugar. She thought it was because the original owner had not been to the county town much and did not know about white sugar.

"It's just white sugar."

Chu Yi had never seen white sugar before, but he was happy to help his wife find it. "I'll go with you to the shops in the county town tomorrow."

Without further ado, the two went to the street early the next morning.

Chu Yi often went to the county town to sell his game, so he knew the county town better than Shen Shuyi. Soon the two of them arrived at a shop called "Lin's Goods Shop" that sold dried goods.

Shen Shuyi walked in and saw a dozen or so wide-mouthed porcelain basins neatly arranged on the shelves inside the store, filled with dark brown and reddish-brown paste-like substances.

Chu Yi pointed and said, "Wife, this is sugar."

Shen Shuyi had never seen white sugar before, and this paste-like sugar was different from the sugar she had seen before. The brown sugar and black sugar she had seen before were all in block form.

The waiter came over with a smile and said, "Brown sugar is 25 coins a bowl, and red sugar is 100 coins."

Would you two like some?

Chu Yi asked, "Do you sell white sugar here?"

"White sugar?" The shop assistant was stunned.

Shen Shuyi added, "It's white sugar."

"Oh, you mean icing."

Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up. "Let's take a look."

The shop assistant carefully took out a delicate little ceramic jar from a tall cabinet, opened the lid, and asked, "Is this it?"

“That’s right!” Shen Shuyi looked at the frosty white sugar and nodded. Seeing how exquisitely packaged it was, and in such a small jar, she wondered if it was incredibly expensive.
That brown sugar cost a hundred coins.

"You want it? This icing costs one tael of silver per tael." This is the prized possession that their young master left behind in this shop.

Shen Shuyi clicked her tongue in amazement; this was comparable to silk.

Chu Yi assumed she wanted it and wanted to buy it without saying a word.

Shen Shuyi pulled him away and only bought ten catties of brown sugar.

"Shuyi, I can buy it if you want." Chu Yi wasn't bothered at all; he could just go hunting in the mountains more often.

Shen Shuyi pinched his arm. "Don't buy it, I can make it!"

Chu Yi didn't want to dampen his wife's enthusiasm, but since the icing was so expensive, it must be extremely rare. How could she possibly make it?

Shen Shuyi communicated with the system, "66, how is icing made in this era?"

[Back to the host, Chu Kingdom's sugar frosting is a thin layer of frost that forms on the surface of boiled and cooled brown sugar. Only one ounce of sugar frosting is produced from a thousand pounds of brown sugar; most of it goes to the imperial palace, leaving only a small amount for the common people.]
In the previous small world missions, Shen Shuyi remembered becoming the empress and proposing many practical policies for the development of the Qin Kingdom, from large-scale movable type printing to small-scale "yellow mud water sugar leaching method" in "Tiangong Kaiwu".

Excitement flashed in her eyes. Although she was blessed with good fortune and could harvest a lot of mountain products, there were very few rare items like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the entire mountain. It would be difficult for her to make a fortune and do business based on this in the long run.

It's more profitable to make sugar.
When the business expands to the county town, we can bring our parents over, and Shushan and Shulan can also study there! If things go well, it would be even better to go directly to the capital, since the purchasing power of the capital is incomparable to that of a small county town!

Shen Shuyi gripped Chu Yi's hand tightly. "Let's go buy the sugar-making tools!"

Earthenware funnel
Chu Yi followed, carrying ten catties of brown sugar.

Full of confidence, and with the blessing of good luck, Shen Shuyi was able to use the fine particles in the muddy water to absorb impurities in the brown sugar, thereby achieving a decolorization effect and obtaining relatively pure white sugar.

Having bought all the tools, Chu Yi also bought a bag of rice and carried it in his hand. Just then, he heard the cry of a vendor selling candied hawthorns. Shen Shuyi heard it too, and squeezed Chu Yi's hand tightly, "I want some!"

"Okay, let's go buy it now." Chu Yi's tone unconsciously carried a hint of doting as he took her hand and walked forward.

Suddenly, there was a commotion of people ahead.

"Oh dear, this little girl has choked on a candied hawthorn!"

"Take it to the doctor quickly."

"There's no way to save her. Look, her lips are turning purple and her eyes are rolling back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me see her."

The young girl was dressed in fine clothes and was accompanied by two maids and a guard. The guard carried her on his back and was about to run towards the clinic.

"Don't cause trouble and stop us! Do you know who my young lady is?!" The guard was both angry and anxious. If their master died, they would be implicated. The clinic was still a long way off, and it would probably be too late to get her there.
"If we delay any longer, he really won't survive!" Shen Shuyi said coldly.

Chu Yi snatched the person from the guard's hands and handed him to Shen Shuyi. He stopped the guard from stepping forward again.

He was tall and strong, and no one dared to fight him head-on.

Shen Shuyi took the little girl in front of her, her face pale, her eyes wide open, her hands instinctively choking her neck, her throat making a weak "gurgling" sound, her body trembling and her legs kicking wildly.

With her hands around her waist, she made her lean forward slightly. Then, she clenched her right fist, precisely pressing the thumb side against the girl's navel two finger-widths above it. With her left hand gripping her right fist, she gathered all her strength and thrust both hands into the girl quickly and powerfully.

Press inward and upward, applying strong pressure to the little girl's abdomen.

Everyone was stunned, wondering why she would do such a thing.

With a violent cough, the hawthorn ball stuck in the little girl's throat was suddenly sprayed out.

The rescued little girl was panting heavily, her complexion gradually regaining its color, and the fear in her eyes gradually subsided.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

"He threw it up!"

"He's alive!"

"Who is this girl? I didn't expect her to know how to save people."

Shen Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing how capable his wife was, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.

His wife is really something.

The little girl, having narrowly escaped death, quickly grabbed Shen Shuyi's hand and said gratefully, "Beautiful sister, thank you for saving me."

"Would you like to come home with me? I'll have my brother thank you."

Shen Shuyi gently stroked her head, "It was nothing, you should go home now, and be more careful about what you eat in the future."

Just then, a clear male voice rang out.

"Suyao!"

Shen Shuyi looked up and saw a handsome young man rushing over. He looked somewhat familiar. As he got closer, she noticed a small mole at the corner of his eye.

Isn't this the young master of Xinglintang?

"Brother, brother, I just got choked on a candied hawthorn, but this beautiful sister saved me."

Lin Xiujin hurriedly pressed down on his sister's shoulders, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. I'm so glad you helped me. I was scared to death."

After checking on his sister, Lin Xiujin turned to her savior, slightly surprised, "Miss Shen?"
