Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

In the house, Su Yu leaned on the railing, watching Xiao Si chasing butterflies with a fan.

The yard is full of flowers and trees, and Xiao Si is wearing a long-sleeved dress, shuttling among the flowers, like a fairy.

After chasing butterflies for a while, Xiao Sizi was sweating profusely.

Back in the pavilion, the little sis pestered Su Yu and said, "Brother Su, I can't catch butterflies, so you invent a butterfly catcher for me."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Butterflies are transformed from caterpillars. How about I give you a nest of caterpillars?"

Xiao Sizi got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Damn. Butterflies are not caterpillars."

Xiao Si got up, ignored Su Yu, and continued chasing the butterfly.

Li Shimin walked into the pavilion, sat on the railing, and took out his folding fan to enjoy the shade.

"My dear brother, the production of rock sugar is getting bigger and bigger now, but the supply of sugar cane is a bit short."

Rock sugar has been produced for some time, and a lot of sugar cane has been harvested.

"It doesn't matter, charge more if you have it, and charge less if you don't have it. Anyway, our goal is not to make money from rock candy."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin asked: "My dear brother, I don't understand."

"We do make a lot of money ourselves by making rock candy."

"But several of their big families are also rich, especially the Xie family. They have made a lot of money by relying on distribution rights."

"How does this weaken them?"

Li Shimin has been thinking about this question recently.

With the production of rock sugar, Changle, Miss Long, gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou City, and several major families recognized her status.

Because Changle harvested sugar cane, which gave them benefits.

Especially the Xie family of Chen Jun strongly supported Changle's business.

However, this is of no use in weakening the top ten families.

"Old Li, you have to be patient when fishing."

"After a while, I will start the next plan."

Su Yu smiled slightly.

"Your brother already has a plan?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Of course, these are the preludes."

Su Yu laughed.

While the two were chatting, Lao Chen brought out a round object.

There is a wheel on the bottom and a round bucket on top.

"My lord, what you want is ready."

Old Chen said.

Little Si was chasing butterflies. Seeing that Lao Chen had brought a new gadget over, he quickly dropped the butterflies and stopped playing.

"Hey, Old Chen, what is this?"

Little Si went around in a circle, but didn't see any tricks.

"I don't know either, the young master asked me to do it."

Old Chen patted the sawdust on his body.

Two days ago, Su Yu drew a blueprint and asked Lao Chen to follow it.

What it was used for, Lao Chen didn't know.

Su Yu came out of the pavilion, shook the wheel, and the plate underneath turned around.

"Old Chen, you are a good crafter. Later, I will ask Li Er to give you a seat as a servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin followed behind, and said with a smile: "My dear brother, it is not easy to make Lao Chen an official."

"I'll send a message to Li Er, Lao Chen can say whatever he wants."

Old Chen said: "I don't want any official position, it's good for me to follow the young master."

Li Shimin had just started to feel complacent, but was poured a bucket of cold water by Old Chen, just to make fun of himself.

Others begged me to be an official, just you few, I begged you to be an official
"Sir, what is this all about?"

Old Chen asked.

Su Yu smiled and said, "I'll make cotton candy for you today."

"Go and get some crushed rock sugar, and make it for you now."

Lao Chen immediately went into the house to fetch crushed rock sugar.

When Xiao Si heard that there was something delicious, he immediately squatted beside him.

Lao Chen came out with rock candy and met the queen and Changle.

"Old Chen, what are you doing with these crushed rock candies?"

Chang Le asked.

"Aren't there good ones out there? What do you do with the broken ones?"

The queen thought that Lao Chen took it to eat by himself.

Old Chen said with a smile: "Madam, if you want to eat delicious food, please use crushed rock sugar."

delicious?
The mother and daughter's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Wait, let's go together."

The queen and Changle "carried" Lao Chen into the yard.

"Young master, crushed rock sugar is here."

Old Chen packed a big box.

Su Yu started to light a little charcoal fire to heat up, put the bamboo sticks away, and then added crushed rock sugar.

"Old Chen, shake that wheel, the sooner the better."

Su Yu ordered.

Old Chen squatted down and shook the wheels vigorously.

The machine rotated rapidly, and thin sugar strands began to appear in the barrel.

"Hey, has the silkworm spun silk?"

Li Shimin said in surprise.

"This is sugar silk, what kind of silk."

Su Yu said with contempt.

Li Shimin didn't mind at all, and the others were used to Li Shimin being reprimanded by Su Yu, so it was not surprising.

Su Yu picked up the bamboo stick and slowly wound it, a marshmallow would be ready.

"Okay, Datang's first marshmallow came out."

Su Yu laughed.

This marshmallow is pure white and fluffy like a cloud.

The little si snatched it away and started eating.

Chang Le didn't snatch it, so he was immediately unhappy, and said coquettishly: "Brother Su, she snatched it from me."

Xiao Sizi smiled triumphantly, "I was the one who arrived first."

"Don't worry, there are all of them."

Su Yu immediately made the second marshmallow and handed it to Changle.

After taking a bite, it tastes better than rock candy.

"My dear brother, give one to my sister-in-law."

The queen was hungry.

Su Yu made one for the queen.

After doing three in a row, Su Yu got tired.

"Come on, old Chen, that's how it is anyway."

Su Yu doesn't eat it herself.

Marshmallows are so common, they're just made for fun.

Lie on the rocking chair and continue your day of salted fish.

After Su Yu left, Li Shimin immediately stood over.

"Old Chen, hurry up, I'm going to make cotton candy."

Li Shimin laughed.

Old Chen said with disgust: "Lao Li, what are you messing around with, the young master asked me to do it."

Li Shimin didn't dare to hate Su Yu, but he was not afraid of others.

"Hey, you old Chen, I betrothed Shangguan Yun to you, and you can't shake the wheel?"

"Shake it for me, or I'll let Xiaoyun beat you up."

Li Shimin reprimanded.

Old Chen didn't dare to talk back, so he shook obediently.

Li Shimin thought to himself: I can't deal with Su Yu, and I can't deal with you?
When everyone heard that Su Yu had released something new, they all ran over.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui ran the fastest.

Li Shimin had the most fun and made a marshmallow for everyone in the house.

The Queen and Chang Le laughed secretly beside them.

"Does the emperor handing out marshmallows look like an official to a minister?"

Changle laughed softly.

"Well, kind of like that."

The queen laughed.

Old Chen shook for most of the day, half dead from exhaustion.

"Old Li, it's almost done, I'm exhausted."

Old Chen complained.

"Old Chen, your physical strength is not good enough, so you have the nerve to say that you used to be a captain."

Li Shimin said.

"Lao Li, squat down and try."

Lao Chen shook his arms and went to rest in the pavilion.

"Master, your stuff is good, it's too tiring."

Old Chen said.

"It has nothing to do with my machine, this bastard, Lao Li, is having so much fun."

Su Yu laughed.

"That's right, just like a child."

Old Chen complained.

Li Shimin finally made two for himself, holding one in each hand.

Bite it down and stick it on the beard.

"My dear brother, if you sell this cotton candy on the street, children will definitely like it."

Li Shimin found another business opportunity.

"This is fine. Put it at the gate of Zuimenglou, and you can earn a little money to spend."

Su Yu laughed.

Chen Yuan came back from the outside, entered the pavilion, and said: "My lord, the land you want has been bought."

Su Yu nodded and smiled, "Okay."
