My life skills in Daming Liver

I saw the boss moving the candy from the back. At first glance, it is no different from Minguang black sugar.

The boss just shook his head and smiled silently. He said to Su Ze:

"If you eat it at home, our Minguang black sugar is the best. If you want to sell it, it's natural that this cochin sugar is the best deal."

Jiaozhi is Vietnam. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di once conquered northern Vietnam, but he gave up because of the high cost of governance. People in the southern provinces know Jiaozhi.

Thinking about it, I know that this cochin candy must have been smuggled.

Vietnam's climate is more suitable for the growth of sugar cane, and sugar has always been exported.

Su Ze looked at the cochin candy, there were many impurities in it, and Su Ze even saw a "cochin bee" wrapped in syrup, which almost made Su Ze spit it out.

The owner of the sugar store hurriedly broke off the piece of candy wrapped in the "cochin bee", and he said to Su Ze:

"How many catties does the young gentleman want?"

Su Ze quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's buy local brown sugar. Let's buy two taels for the children to taste."

The boss still had a good attitude. He cut off a piece of Fujian-Guangzhou black granulated sugar, wrapped it in dried lotus leaves, and handed it to Su Ze to send them out of the shop.

After distributing the sugar to the two radish heads, Lin Xianyang asked suspiciously, "Why is this cochin candy so cheap?"

Su Ze endured his nausea and said, "Cochin is cheap. Hot and rainy weather is the most suitable for the growth of sugarcane. Although the quality is not as good as my Ming Dynasty, it is worse than the quantity."

Lin Xianyang suddenly realized, he looked at Su Ze and asked, "Could it be that Brother Ze still knows how to make sugar?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "Know a thing or two."

If someone else said that, Lin Xianyang would definitely think it was bragging, but when Su Ze said that, Lin Xianyang immediately believed it, and he sighed again: "Scholars are really amazing."

The group bought candy and found the relative Lin Xianyang mentioned. Naturally, there are inns in Nanping city, but the guards in Changning are too poor to pay the fine for fighting, so Lin Xianyang is naturally reluctant to stay in inns.

Su Ze recalled the method of making white granulated sugar along the way. Although this cochin sugar is crude, it can be bought as an original for purification.

The method of refining white sugar is an improvement on the original sugar making method. As long as he has sugar making skills and understands the general process, Su Ze is confident in making white sugar.

Although the relatives were enthusiastic, they only lived on thatched beds. Su Ze caught the lice for a long time before falling asleep drowsily.

Candles were brightly lit in the back room of the Town God's Temple, and the newly arrived magistrate said to the accountant master who brought him;

"Hurry up and take over the warehouse of Liufang, check the accounts of the previous years overnight, circle out any irregularities, and leave it to the government to check it out."

"Respect the government order!"

Sure enough, as Su Ze said, as soon as the new magistrate temporarily settled down, he immediately asked his accompanying bookkeeper to go to the government office to check the accounts, and then sent his cronies to take over the government office experience department and Zhaomo office.

The Department of Experience is in charge of official documents going up and down in the magistrate's yamen, and Zhaomo is in charge of the investigation (resume files) of all registered officials in Yanping Prefecture, which is the first-class key department of the entire magistrate's yamen.

Because the new magistrate arrived suddenly, it really caught the magistrate's office by surprise. Some accounts that were originally planned to be destroyed today were sealed by the new magistrate's subordinates. I don't know how many people in Yanping Prefecture can't sleep well tonight.

After finishing his work, Xin Zhifu walked to the back room, but saw that the candle was still on in a side room, he sighed and walked to the door, coughed and said:

"Lan'er, why don't you go to bed? Candlelight hurts your eyes. Why do you have a daughter who lights up the lamp every night to read?"

"Daddy, go rest yourself. My daughter will go to sleep after reading this volume."

The new magistrate, who was majestic in front of his subordinates, showed a helpless look in front of his daughter.

But he quickly said: "Lan'er, the "New Official Rituals" you recommended is really useful! I'm terrified of these subordinates who my father killed right after he took office! Hahahaha!"

The girl named Lan'er had a flat tone, her voice was melodious and clear, like an orchid in an empty valley, and she said in a flat tone:

"There are many key points in the book, so father should study it carefully."

The new magistrate suddenly felt that the conversation had changed a bit, why did he feel that he was the one who was being trained instead.

He sighed and said:

"Lan'er, with your temperament, how can you serve your husband and in-laws after you get married! It's all your uncle's fault for insisting on taking you to study since childhood!"

Unexpectedly, just after Xin Zhifu finished speaking, he heard the voice of a middle-aged woman:

"The new official took office today, the master has gained a lot of prestige. Why are you blaming my brother again? Don't forget, the master, that "New Official Rituals" was sent by brother Zhi."

The one who spoke was Mrs. Li, the wife of the magistrate. Originally, Mrs. Li was sending some sweet soup to her daughter, but when she heard her husband complaining about her brother-in-law, she immediately turned pale.

Although Mrs. Li was not from a big family, she and the magistrate were married when they were still poor scholars, and they were heartbroken to support her husband's education.

Later, her husband became a Jinshi, and was promoted to the magistrate of Yanping. Li's back house was able to keep the peace, and he was a rare and virtuous housemate.

It's just that Li's personality is straightforward, and he has the demeanor of a Hedong lion. The magistrate has a son and a daughter, and only one maid who is the housekeeper.

Li continued her yin and yang husband and said: "Who says women can't study? I heard my brother Zhi once said, 'Birth of a boy can pass on the family business, and giving birth to a daughter can last forever'. My son can pass on the family business, but Lan'er can. For generations to come!"

The magistrate only felt that his head was big. Although his wife hadn't read many books, she had a younger brother who was a famous man, who was eloquent and always had deviant remarks.

My wife and younger brother no longer took part in the imperial examination after winning the Juren. Instead, they were keen to spread his theory, and my wife and daughter were the most "poisoned".

It's a pity that this magistrate who was born as a Jinshi couldn't say anything about that Juren's wife and brother when he was debating the scriptures.

After eating at his wife's side, the magistrate gave up on himself and said:

"You're used to it! Lan'er is already eighteen, and she hasn't married a suitable family yet!"

Mrs. Li immediately retorted and said: "What are your students and nephews? Are they a good match for Lan'er? You can't find a good son-in-law, so you still have to blame Lan'er for not being successful?"

The magistrate's face flushed red, but he has always doted on his daughter, and he also knew that the previous ones were really not good enough for her.

"This doesn't work either! That doesn't work either! Do I want to recruit the number one scholar to be my son-in-law?"

Mrs. Li even said: "If you're not Sanding Jia, how can you match my daughter!"

"San Ding Jia! You dare to say it! Your husband is only a second-class Jinshi!"

The door of the wing opened with a creak, and a girl appeared at the door wearing a long gown with a vertical collar, a horse-face skirt with flower and bird patterns, and a cloak with a hundred patterns.

The young girl's face was bright and clean, with the hair bun of an unmarried lady, she expressed her wish to the magistrate and his wife with a blank face, and then said:

"Father, mother, my daughter has finished reading the book, and it's time to wash up and go to bed. You two should go back to your room and rest. Isn't father going to sacrifice to the city god tomorrow? Is it an auspicious time?"

The new magistrate slapped his head and said, "How did I forget to count the auspicious time! For my father, I will call the yin and yang students!"

Looking at the noisy parents who left together, the girl let out a slight sigh. What her father said was right. As a woman born in the Ming Dynasty, what good is it to read well?

(Useless cold knowledge: Yin and Yang Sheng, the official establishment of the county government office, who is responsible for counting days and looking at Fengshui.

After the middle and late Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to take the imperial examination system, and yin and yang students could also participate in the imperial examination. During the Jiajing period, there was a record of yin and yang students becoming Jinshi. )
