Chapter 107: White Sugar Completed
(I got a real estate certificate for the resettlement housing... I went there at 3 am today and arrived at home at 15 pm. I only got an online sign... It's very troublesome, very troublesome!)
"Your Highness...the white sugar is finished..."
One day after the plowing, Zhen Gen presented the white sugar. Ang Lee excitedly held the white sugar in his palm. He saw that the particles were crystalline, even, white in color, pure sweetness. He licked it slightly, and the sweetness was slightly lower than that of brown sugar.
Ang Lee smiled and patted happily, "Good candy..."
"It's good sugar, it's really good sugar. When these white sugars, like snowflakes, appeared, Your Highness... You don't know that everyone present was stunned.
Because it looks so beautiful." Zhen Geng looked at Ang Lee with a smile.
Ang Lee nodded clearly. This sweet taste... is a taste that can make people happy. Although maltose is good, maltose sticks to teeth and is not suitable for the elderly. However, sucrose is different. Not only does it not stick to teeth, sucrose has many effects.
Moisturizes the lungs and produces fluid, relieves cough, and nourishes the lungs, soothes liver qi, nourishes yin, seasons, eliminates bad breath, and relieves salt and brine poison... Ang Lee will add all these together and promote them to improve the style of his white sugar.
If you have never been to ancient times, you will not feel how luxurious this white sugar is.
Hehe... Actually, we were fine in ancient times, with maltose... Although ordinary people could not eat it frequently, it was possible to eat it a few times a year. In ancient times, our neighboring countries and Western countries in the Middle Ages were a very luxurious seasoning.
Especially the island countries, in their ancient history, and even in modern history, all kinds of sweet foods belong to the ranks of luxury goods.
For example, in the Heian era of the island country, some noble women would particularly emphasize how many sugar-fried chestnuts were in their dowry when they were married, and a sweet food became a luxury for the island country nobles to compete with each other.
Also, ancient Europeans also had no good fortune. For a long time, the only thing they could use as dessert was honey. They did not develop their own sugar making technology and did not form a complete beekeeping technology. Just by collecting wild honey, you can imagine how rare the number of honey in Europe was and how expensive it was at that time.
Therefore, when medieval Europeans wrote their wills, they even wrote out how many buckets of honey were in their wills to prove their wealth.
Even in the 15th century, Westerners were still superstitious about the medicinal function of sugar. This was because the Black Death epidemic in Europe was at that time, and sugar was used to treat fever and cough, and occupied a significant position in the European medical community.
Unfortunately, Ang Lee doesn’t have a boat. If he has a boat, Ang Lee will sell the sugar to the island country. You must know that the island country has a lot of gold, one pound of sugar and one pound of gold, Ang Lee can make a lot of money.
Alas...but there is still a chance.
"Your Highness... the candy has been made. Please give your name to him..."
Zhen Geng's words made Ang Lee sway his head: "Hey... you said that you are good at giving a name, it's a good idea. This way... I'll put two pounds of candy in the palace and ask my grandmother to give me a name.
Hehe...and then we sell it in my grandmother's name, and it will definitely sell it."
"Okay...good..." Ang Lee's words made everyone show a positive expression, and soon, Zhang Hu, Xue Ding... the candy candy, the candy candy candy, the cart candy candy candy.
After a while, Ang Lee went out in a carriage and headed straight for the palace.
Now that Ang Lee enters the palace, basically the guards guarding the palace gate will let go when they see it is Ang Lee's carriage. Ang Lee doesn't need to walk out of the carriage. The road is unobstructed. Why is this happening? It is mainly because once, when Ang Lee enters the palace, he was stopped by a guard and makes it difficult to check.
He was then beheaded... This is true. Wu Zetian is indeed very nice to Ang Lee, but Wu Zetian is not very friendly to others. Ang Lee did not make any mistakes. If you deliberately make things difficult for you, you will be implicated.
So now no one dares to stop Ang Lee's carriage.
Get off the carriage... Ang Lee walked into the Wanxiang Palace. After seeing Ang Lee, the palace maids in the Wanxiang Palace were eunuchs. They came up one by one and bowed to greet each other, and all shouted: "See Your Highness..."
Of course, you can also choose to ignore Ang Lee, but if you ignore Ang Lee, you are likely to disappear into the Vientiane Palace.
"Grandma...!" Stepping into the Wanxiang Palace, Ang Lee shouted happily immediately.
"Oh...! An'er is here..." As soon as Ang Lee's voice sounded, Wu Zetian put down the watch in his hand and smiled. However, Ang Lee approached but saw that Wu Zetian's eyes were covered with bloodshot.
This made Ang Lee ask with some distress: "Grandma... Sometimes you have to rest more, look at your eyes..."
"Oh..." With a sigh, Wu Zetian held Ang Lee's hand and asked Ang Lee to sit down and said, "Grandma wants to rest too, but there are too many things in the court, and your grandmother's eyes are getting worse and worse. If it gets dark, she will not be able to see the words clearly. She can only take advantage of the present. Fortunately, you sister Wan'er is here..."
Wu Zetian rarely tells people about his physical problems, and only when Ang Lee is there will be some feelings.
Ang Lee nodded slightly. This is presbyopia. Basically, people will have problems when they get old. If it were in modern times, a pair of reading glasses would be solved. However, this is ancient, Ang Lee could only sigh in his heart.
Just as Wu Zetian sighed, Ang Lee immediately took out the small cloth bag containing candy and smiled and said, "Grandma, see what good things I brought to you."
"What... the small cloth bag is full of bulging..." Wu Zetian also asked curiously.
"Hehe...!" After saying that, Ang Lee opened the empty teacup on one side and poured out the white sugar in the cloth bag.
Wu Zetian looked at the white sugar in the snow and said in surprise: "What is this?"
Even Shangguan Wan'er on the side showed a look of surprise and said, "This is a bit like sugar, but isn't sugar white?"
"Haha..." Ang Lee smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er really knows everything. Yes, this is sugar. However, it is my specially made white sugar. I plan to open a store in Taipei City, Luoyang...well...!"
After saying that, Ang Lee smiled and looked at Wu Zetian and said, "Grandma... Today I will give my grandma candy, and the other is to ask my grandma to invest. Like bean sprouts, half of the white sugar belongs to my grandma."
Wu Zetian was about to say no, but at this time, Ang Lee hurriedly said: "I know my grandmother doesn't like my little money, but I need my grandmother's big Buddha to support me. Knowing that you are in it, others won't touch me, and I will be much better."
He was not artificial at all, and he said whatever he wanted. Shangguan Wan'er admired Ang Lee's openness very much. There were too few people who were open to Wu Zetian, which was also the main reason why Wu Zetian preferred Ang Lee.
"Okay..." Wu Zetian finally agreed with a smile.
Then, Ang Lee laughed and said, "It's great. Since grandma is my partner, there is one thing now that I need grandma's help."
"What's the matter..." Wu Zetian looked at Ang Lee and asked.
"Hmm...!" Ang Lee pointed to the white sugar in his hand and said, "It doesn't have a name yet. Grandma gives one, and then our store name is also called the name given by Grandma."
"Name..." Wu Zetian smiled slightly, showing an interesting expression.
