Chapter 77 That's because there wasn't enough stock!
After the name Hui Gan Tang was decided, they started selling brown sugar!
With top-quality brown sugar as a starting point, Chongshan sold out almost effortlessly.
"Such good candy, even a fool could sell it in the county. If you're so capable, sell it in the prefectural city, or somewhere else."
People inside the sugar mill were whispering among themselves.
Cheng Qiqi said, "The sugar mill belongs to everyone, so it's normal for everyone to have their own ideas. I just want to say this: the reason our Jin family can't sell elsewhere right now is because our production capacity is insufficient!"
"There's not enough brown sugar even in the county! How can it be sold in the prefectural city? Or in other prefectures?"
Cheng Qiqi is protective of her own. Since Chongshan works for the Jin family, he is a member of the Jin family.
Is Chongshan not selling well?
That's because they don't have any to sell!
"Lengyu, you guys need to keep it up. The villagers learn how to make sugar very quickly."
Cheng Qiqi smiled as she looked at Leng Yu. The most upset people were the Leng family. The sugar shop originally belonged to the Leng family alone. If they made more money, the master chefs would naturally get more too!
But now, the Jin family sells candy, and they get all the profits from that!
"Don't worry, Mrs. Cheng, we will definitely learn quickly."
Leng Yu looked a little embarrassed. He really hadn't expected that Cheng Qiqi would separate all three processes!
For the juicing, several young and strong villagers were selected.
Jin Sanye joined in the sugar-making process, claiming that he could learn it faster!
It must be admitted that Master Jin is indeed a quick learner and the most hardworking. From knowing nothing at all, he has now become the fastest and best learner among all the sugar-making people!
Master Jin followed Cheng Qiqi's instructions strictly at every step, and even the young men selected from the villages followed Cheng Qiqi's steps meticulously.
The sugar that's boiled down is really good!
However, Leng Yu and the original sugar workshop master, relying on their experience, sometimes started making the sugar according to their own experience, and in the end, the quality of the sugar they produced was not good enough!
Cheng Qiqi glanced at Leng Yu and the other chefs' expressions, but she didn't care. She went straight to check the sugarcane vinegar on the stove!
After soaking the sugarcane in water for a day, she added yeast and had it moved to a spot next to the stove, separated by a wall and covered with gauze to prevent insects and dust.
First, brew the wine, then wait for it to ferment, and it will turn into vinegar.
After confirming that the process was correct, Cheng Qiqi moved on to the final step in the sugar workshop: pouring the sugar into the mold and stirring it. This was the last step and the key to making the sugar crystals fine.
"Mrs. Cheng, we're going to start renovating your house tomorrow. We like to build houses with oyster shells here because they're not afraid of the wind and sun, and they're warm in winter and cool in summer."
"And you're not worried about insects? Do you want to use oyster shells to plaster the walls during this renovation?"
After finishing his work, Zhuang Lizheng approached Cheng Qiqi to discuss building a house.
"Is it even possible to find this many oyster shells?"
Cheng Qiqi still really likes oyster shells. She's heard they're very useful, firstly because they're sturdy and keep things warm, which she really appreciates.
"Just pick them up on the beach, as long as you agree."
Zhuang Li was smiling, appearing exceptionally warm and welcoming.
"Let's go back and discuss it."
When Cheng Qiqi returned home, she told everyone that the villagers would help them repair their houses the next day and asked if they wanted oyster shell houses!
"Yes, I heard from the local villagers that oyster shell houses are great; they're not cold at all!"
When Madam Jin spoke, she said that she had been sickly before, but now she takes medicine every day and eats meat porridge and egg porridge every few days to nourish her body. Her health has obviously improved.
"Mother, it seems you've gotten to know all the older women in the village?"
Marquis Zhongyong knew that his mother would go for a walk in the neighborhood every day while he was at work. He never expected that she would be so familiar with the area.
"Do you think I go out all day for no reason?"
Madam Jin glared at him and said, "I know quite a lot of people, and I've even set my sights on a grove of oak trees. Ah Yi, you'd better find a way to buy those trees for me tomorrow."
"what?"
Marquis Zhongyong, Jin Yi, thought he had misheard.
"Huh?"
Madam Jin said, "If we can't buy the forest, then we'll buy timber, cut it into sections as tall as a person, and find a way to transport it to the back of our house."
"Mom, are you really going to make wood ear and shiitake mushrooms?"
After seeing that his mother had recovered, the Marquis of Zhongyong did not mention the matter of planting shiitake mushrooms and wood ear fungus again. Who knew that his mother had even chosen a piece of wood?
"Grandma, did you get the wood ear mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms out?"
Cheng Qiqi looked at Madam Jin with surprise. Madam Jin didn't do much work on a daily basis. Besides making shoes, she would wander around the village.
"Of course."
Madam Jin said smugly, "Just wait and see, you'll be eating shiitake mushrooms and wood ear fungus!"
"Grandma, I'll wait then."
As Cheng Qiqi and Old Madam Jin, one young and one old, talked, Marquis Zhongyong had no choice but to go and buy oak wood.
Finally, the Jin family unanimously agreed to build a house in oyster shells. When Marquis Zhongyong mentioned wanting oak wood to the village head, the village head said, "Brother Jin, oak wood isn't good. The wood is too hard; it won't even start a fire. If you're short of firewood..."
"My mother wants it, there's nothing I can do."
Marquis Zhongyong didn't mention the mushrooms, he only said that his mother wanted them.
"Alright, once the house is built, I'll take you to find this kind of wood; we have as much as you need."
Zhuang Lizheng now addresses Jin Yi as "brother" and "big brother" repeatedly.
Many hands make light work. After confirming that oyster shells would be used to repair the coat, the villagers got busy and carried back loads of oyster shells from the beach.
"Mom, I want pretty oyster shells."
"Mom, look, this is huge!"
"daughter."
Jin Suian wore a straw hat and carried a small basket filled with oyster shells carefully selected by the little girl. The shells were bigger than her palm, and the basket was quite heavy with just a few.
The little girl's face turned red from straining as she tried to lift the oyster shell, which made Cheng Qiqi happier and happier. She stepped forward and easily lifted the oyster shell.
"Our An'an is so amazing! She managed to collect so many beautiful oyster shells!"
Cheng Qiqi praised her and kissed the little girl on the cheek. "My sweet and soft daughter is so wonderful!"
Back home, the outer shell of the oyster shell had already been cut off more than halfway. When Jin Sui'an saw the two large and one small oyster shells tightly packed together, he exclaimed, "Mom, look, this is Dad, this is Mom, and this is me!"
"We're a family, we won't separate!"
Jin Sui'an spoke crisply, and when she mentioned her father, she looked up and asked, "Mom, when will Dad come back?"
"..."
When Cheng Qiqi heard her daughter's innocent words and saw the two large and one small oyster shells, she fell silent instantly.
"An'an, your father will come back when you grow up a little more."
Marquis Zhongyong offered words of comfort.
Liu Suyi glanced at it; this lie would eventually be exposed!
