The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 26 Selling Sugar
Han Qianluo and the two returned home with a wooden bucket full of sugarcane juice, and they didn't dare to delay. First, they talked about the filtration of sugarcane juice, and Han Qingquan also helped.

Li Chunhua next to her saw them carrying sugarcane out and seeing them come back, so she was very curious, ran over and squatted aside to watch, and now she was just filtering out the dross, so Han Qianluo didn't worry about her watching, but She will definitely not let irrelevant people watch the next steps. This is a matter that must be kept secret.

"Qianluo, what are you doing?" Li Chunhua asked curiously from the side.

Han Qianluo smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a secret, I can't tell you now."

When Han said this, Li Chunhua's curiosity was aroused, and he pestered her and asked, "Qianluo, just tell me, I promise not to tell."

"No."

Li Chunhua pestered Han Qianluo for a while, but in the end she still didn't get an answer, and walked away resentfully. Han Qianluo suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and continued to filter the dross.

Soon, all the dregs in the sugarcane juice were filtered, and then some substance inside was washed.With the help of Han Qingquan, Han Qianluo finished it easily.

After that, things were simple. Han Qianluo poured the sugarcane juice into the pot and heated it to boil, then let the water in it evaporate. Han Qingquan no longer needed to help here, so he went out.

Because there is a lot of sugarcane juice, the front pot can't be filled at all, and even the two clay pots at the back are all filled, but they still haven't been filled, so we have to wait until the next time.

Soon the sugar water boiled, Han Qianluo was still on high fire, the water inside evaporated quickly, and it became sticky after a while, at this time Han Qianluo changed to a low fire and dried slowly, finally Finally got slightly brown sugar.

Next, Han Qianluo boiled all the remaining sugarcane juice into sugar. The sugar he got in the end was not much, about 20 catties.Carefully put the granulated sugar into the clay pot and put it away, tightly wrap the mouth of the pot to prevent ants from crawling in, and then find a place to hide it.

After finishing all this, Han Qianluo went to help spin the yarn. After coming here for so long, she also learned that although cloth is not an official currency, sometimes people still use cloth to buy and sell things in private.

Even if there was no such relationship, in such an era, Han Qianluo felt that he had to learn how to spin and weave cloth. This time is not the future, and there are ready-made clothes everywhere, which is very convenient.At once
At this time, everyone is self-sufficient. Although many things can be bought, it is very inconvenient after all, especially sewing clothes and shoes, but she has no time to learn this thing yet.

Han Qianluo was spinning, Han Shui'er was weaving beside him, and Han Qingquan was in the yard, not knowing what to do, jingling at the wood, everything was so peaceful and beautiful, for a moment Han Qianluo felt that such a life It's also very good, there is no need to work so hard to make money.

Knowing that Han Qingquan made things, Han Qianluo realized that he was making stools, so he said casually, "Brother, why did you also make stools?"

"I think this thing is very convenient and comfortable at ordinary times." Han Qingquan said without hesitation.

It so happened that Han Sanwei came back from the outside at this time, and when he saw the stool made by Han Qingquan, he was very pleasantly surprised: "Brother, did you make this?"

Just as Han Qingquan nodded, Han Sanwei excitedly said, "I'm going to show them tomorrow." Han Qianluo listened and said curiously, "Sanwei, why did you show them?"

"They don't have what our family has, and they are envious." Han Sanwei said childishly, very cute.

Han Qianluo just said it casually and didn't pay attention to it. Sure enough, Han Sanwei went out with a small stool the next morning.But these are not important to Han Qianluo. What she is thinking about now is making caramel, vinegar, soy sauce, wine and other things. It is really inconvenient not to have these things.

Things like vinegar and soy sauce are for personal use, and caramel is for sale.Although this item is not cost-effective now, after thinking about it, Han Qianluo still felt that it is necessary to sell caramel candy first. He is just a farmer with no power and power. After the partner, then take this thing out for sale.

The first thing Han Qianluo wanted to do was maltose, which was very simple, but it took a lot of time. It was not until the sun was about to set that Han Qianluo finally made a large jar of maltose.Well, most of the time in the middle is just waiting for fermentation, the actual time is not so long at all.

Han Sanwei, who came back from playing outside, saw the caramel made by Han Qianluo, and said happily, "Sister San, can I have some?"

"Let's eat, but dinner is coming soon, so eat less." Han Qianluo said.

"I only eat a little bit." Han Sanwei stretched out his little finger and gestured what he called a little bit.

Han Qianluo turned around and wanted to cook, but Han Shuier, who was weaving, reprimanded loudly: "Sanwei, you are stealing again."

"Second sister, it doesn't hurt to let him eat at all." Han Qianluo said calmly.

It was just obvious that Han Shui'er had gone crazy for some reason, and said angrily, "It's okay? Is our family rich? How can I let him eat such expensive things? Big brother loves you, so it's still up to you." Get these messy things, but I don't agree, the family doesn't have much money, and it's wasted like this."

Han Qianluo thought in his heart, you also know that the family is poor. Last time, without saying a word, when the Zhang family was obviously blackmailing, why did you send the money to others, and now my brother wants to eat so much? It's inexplicable to be reprimanded for even a little sugar.

But Han Qianluo just thought about these words in her heart. If she really said it, she would inevitably have a quarrel today. She really didn't want to see her family quarreling, so she endured it, but when she looked down, she saw Han Sanwei's face With a timid look, his heart moved. Could it be that Han Sanwei's behavior has something to do with Han Shuier?

"Eat Sanwei quickly." Han Qianluo said.

Han Sanwei took out his chopsticks and took a little bit out of it to eat, and then he refused to eat it anyway, carefully putting away such a jar of caramel.

Han Qianluo had just reconciled. What she saw was this scene, and she didn't say anything. She just decided to treat her younger brother better. She didn't mind raising him into a naughty boy, but it seemed a bit difficult.

In her previous life, Han Qianluo only had one grandma, so she cherished her family very much. For her, they were all rare things, so she cherished her current family very much, especially this sensible brother.

After dinner, Han Qianluo poured out the caramel from the jar, and kept stirring it with chopsticks. The sticky caramel gradually hardened, and finally turned into hard caramel.

"Third sister, why did you make it into such a hard candy?" Han Sanwei asked in bewilderment.

"It's convenient to sell to others in this way." Han Qianluo returned.

Early the next morning, Han Qianluo set off with the caramel. When he came to the market, he found a place at random. Then he took out the caramel and yelled loudly: "Sell caramel, delicious caramel, hurry up!" Come buy it."

Han Qianluo yelled twice, and saw a child pulling his mother towards him, but the child's mother had no choice but to follow.

The child dragged his mother to Han Qianluo's booth, looked at the caramel with a greedy face, and then turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I want to eat this."

"Girl, how do you sell this caramel?" The child's mother finally couldn't stand up to her son, and asked.

"Ten coins a catty." Han Qianluo said.

The child's mother frowned and bargained: "You are too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

"Everyone has this price, but I'm not the only one here." Han Qianluo said.

The kid on the side seemed to be afraid that his mother would not buy it for him, so he kept saying, "Mother, the ones bought by Xiaopang's are the same."

"Weigh a catty for me." The child's mother hesitated and said.

Han Qianluo knocked a piece of caramel from the top and weighed it, then handed the caramel to the child after collecting the money.The kid left contentedly. Han Qianluo didn't expect that the first business could be done so easily. He got off to a good start and was in a good mood.

However, after this little child, no one came to buy it for a long time, and many people just took a quick look and then left.

However, Han Qianluo was still very patient, and still shouted from time to time, and finally someone came to buy it again.Today Han Qianluo just came to try it out, so he didn't bring a lot of caramel candies out, but even so, when Han Qianluo returned, none of the caramel candies he brought out was sold out.

Although Han Qianluo also knew that it might not be easy to sell, she did not expect the situation to be so bad. She has been thinking about this issue since she came back, and finally decided to try for a few more days to see if she could sell it.

The next day, Han Qianluo still took the caramel to the market. Unexpectedly, the situation today was much better than the day before. The caramel he brought was basically sold out, which gave Han Qianluo some relief. confidence.

After that, Han Qianluo went to the market every day to sell caramel, and the business was getting better every day, but there was still one thing that made her feel bad, that is, she never met Liu Xingzhi again.

On this day, Han Qianluo sold out the caramel, so he wanted to go shopping for a while before going back, so he wandered around the market with a basket, looking here and there, but he didn't find anything good.

Just when Han Qianluo was about to go back, she found something that made her unable to look away.
