The red frost fruit is a secondary plant with health-preserving effects from the ancient Wu plane, and the price is naturally more expensive than the fire honey fruit. Even if the villagers buy it, the price Jiang Fan gives is six taels of silver per catty. Get ten taels of silver a catty.

Although the villagers say they have made some money now, they are reluctant to buy Huomi fruit that costs four renminbi a catty, let alone a red frost fruit that costs six taels of silver a catty. The idea of ​​what to eat, just because there are supervisors in the field at any time, if you steal a piece, you will be fined a tael of silver, and you will be included in the blacklist of the village's recruitment. There is still work after paying the money.

But for such an expensive fruit, Jiang Fan would feed a few handfuls of it to his two dogs every day, and the villagers were still joking about how he would live worse than a dog when he was an adult.Not to mention, Jiang Fan really likes to watch his dogs eat fruit, the crunching sound is more delicious than his own, which makes people particularly fascinated.

The red frost fruit itself is slightly sour, but because of the sweet red frosting sugar on the skin, it neutralizes the sourness, making it sweet and sour. Before eating, Jiang Fan likes to soothe it with well water, it is very delicious.

"This layer of red frost is like stone honey." Guan Xiujin, who ate red frost fruit for the first time, said.

In Dazhou, its most native sugar is caramel, which is maltose, and then honey.The stone honey in Guan Xiujin's mouth is sucrose. Sugarcane is squeezed into juice, sun-dried into syrup, and then boiled into brown sugar cubes, which are as hard as stone.

In the historical countries where Jiang Fan lived in the world in his previous life, sucrose was introduced from India to the country through the Silk Road. At first, it was brown and in pieces. Later, India’s sugar-making technology improved, and the sugar can be refined into light yellow. granulated sugar.In the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese invented brown sugar decolorization technology, produced white sugar, and passed the technology of white sugar sugar production back to India.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had established mutual markets with other countries at the border, and the sea passages had always been open. The appearance of sucrose in the Great Zhou Dynasty, just like Jiang Fan’s previous historical world, was also passed on from other countries through maritime trade during this period. entered.It's just that because of the turbulent seizure of power by the court a few years ago, the mutual market was closed, leaving only the sea channel, but because the crisis of the sea is unpredictable, whether you can come back alive depends on luck. Although there is no trading market, you dare to take risks The number of merchants going to sea has not increased much, and no one has found out whether the sugar-making technology of the country that has introduced sugar technology has improved.

There is only one kind of sugarcane here in Dazhou, that is Maocane.Thatch cane is domesticated wild sugarcane, with green skin, rhizome as thin as a thumb and less juice, but very high nutritional value.The yield of thatch cane is very low, and it has high requirements on the soil, and it is easily affected by the weather. If the wind is slightly stronger, most of the thatch cane will be inclined and bent, which is not conducive to harvesting.

In short, Maocane is a delicate plant that is not easy to grow and has a low sugar yield, but it has a good taste and nutritional value.When sucrose was first introduced into Dazhou, it was only enjoyed by the royal family or aristocrats. Although it can be self-produced nowadays, due to the low output and the rarity, it is expensive, so those who can eat sucrose or even gnaw on sugar cane can add more a rich man.Ordinary people still can only eat caramel occasionally.

Other than sugar, silk, tea, and ceramics from Dazhou are also very rare in countries outside the customs and on the sea. In the past few years when the mutual market has been closed, only a small amount of these kinds of goods have been traded out by sea ships, which has also caused many people in Dazhou to For example, many weaver girls had to be "unemployed and laid off" due to the low demand for silk outside, and returned to their hometowns.

The reason why the mutual market was closed at that time was to prevent the people outside the customs who had changes from time to time when the government was unstable.Now that the government is stable, and because of Guan Xiujin's recovery, those abnormalities are temporarily dormant. Taking advantage of this time, Guan Xiujin's first thing to do is to cooperate with Jiang Fan to plant Biwusi, raise a strong army and horses, and increase the combat effectiveness of Zhou soldiers.

Jiang Fan knew Guan Xiujin, he probably had a dream of strengthening the country.In fact, Jiang Fan is not.

Those who are good at helping the world, Jiang Fan now has a lot of money in his pocket, and a lot of system currency is credited into the account every day. He also hopes that his friends, villagers, and even wherever he passes by can live a prosperous life.And what Jiang Fan hopes is to reopen the mutual market after re-giving enough deterrent force outside the customs, so that the business and culture of various countries can re-exchange and flow, and the superiors can listen to all directions and keep up with or even surpass the entire world. pace of development.

So before, when Jiang Fan was asked by Guan Xiujin why he didn't start an embroidery workshop by himself, the thought in his heart that he hadn't mentioned to Guan Xiujin popped up again when he heard Guan Xiujin mention Shi Mi.

At that time, Jiang Fan rubbed his hands, leaned close to Guan Xiujin, and raised this bold idea to Guan Xiujin.

"Mutual market?" Guan Xiujin smiled rarely at that time, "You are bold."

This is a matter in the court, a businessman in Jiang Fan asked him vehemently to him, the prison prince, it should be said that he is young and ignorant, but he is quite insightful.

Jiang Fan is really not afraid of Guan Xiujin.Guan Xiujin was the kind of person who looked serious but was actually informal.

Jiang Fan still didn't get a clear answer from Guan Xiujin that day, and if he wanted to ask again, he would have to wait for Guan Xiujin to come back.

Because the end of July is the little emperor's birthday, which is the third birthday of the little emperor since he ascended the throne, and this time, on the Longevity Day, the affiliated countries under the Great Zhou Dynasty and countries outside the customs will also send envoys to celebrate.

After thinking about it a little bit, I knew that this was a test for the little emperor and the great Zhou.

At such an important time, Guan Xiujin naturally couldn't continue to stay in a rural place and had to go back.

Jiang Fan was worried, for fear that Guan Xiujin would get married when he returned this time, and on the day he sent Guan Xiujin away, he repeatedly told him: "I will save the wedding gift for you, you must notify me when you get married, otherwise neither of us friends will have to do it. "

Guan Xiujin said: "Don't worry, I will tell you personally when we get married in the future."

Jiang Fan didn't laugh or cry, he was really rushing to be stabbed.

Guan Xiujin left, and Jiang Fan couldn't get any more energy for the first two days. Uncle Zhang must have seen Jiang Fan's lost mood, and made some delicious food for Jiang Fan in different ways in the past few days.For Jiang Fan now, the only solution to his worries is food.It just so happened that the tigress came back with her cubs. After Jiang Fan ate a lot for a few days, and plucked his hair back, after picking the first batch of ripe red frost fruits, Jiang Fan finally returned to normal. some.

That evening, Jiang Fan, who had washed up after dinner, sat under the eaves of the porch.There is a constant temperature tree at home, and we regularly wipe the house with potions to repel beast grass. The temperature in the house is moderate, and there are no mosquitoes. Lying on the familiar recliner, Jiang Fan should be very comfortable, but he looked at the sky filled with stars on a summer night. , looking around at the empty space next to him, and sighed dispiritedly.

"Master, why do you always sigh recently?" Zhang Shumo couldn't help it, and finally asked this question.

Jiang Fan was like a poor guy who lost his love, and said quietly: "You are still young, you don't understand."

Zhang Shumo really didn't understand. Seeing that Jiang Fan was unhappy, he had no choice but to flatter him and push the honey water on the table to Jiang Fan's hand, "Master, drink the honey water."

"It's getting dark, drinking sweets will make you fat." Jiang Fan muttered, but he heard that eating sweets would make his mood better, so he took a sip from the cup, put down the cup, and sipped Mouth, "Red frost fruity."

Now there are more nectar sources at home, not to mention the large snowflakes, which the bees at home can't gather. There are also nectar from several kinds of fruits. Don't waste the honey source, there are many beehives in these places, and now there are hundreds of honey jars in the house.

In the beginning Guan Xiujin drank the honey water that he paid for, but now it is all given by Jiang Fan, and Jiang Fan also drinks it in different ways every day, because others have already had diabetes.

Jiang Fan clasped his hands on his stomach, wiggled his fingertips boredly for a while, and then opened the system panel.

If the mutual market is reopened in the future, sugar, tea, silk and porcelain, porcelain Jiang Fan is not going to touch, and he will get involved in the other three.

Sugar is simple, difficult to grow, and low yield. Jiang Fan is not a problem here, as long as he has land, buys sugarcane seedlings, and recruits workers.As for tea, Jiang Fan doesn't plan to grow all the local tea leaves in this world.

If he only grows local tea leaves, then there will be another demand gap for system currency in his hand, and more and more places will demand system currency in the future. Although he has hundreds of acres of system currency sources in his hand, he cannot sit and eat.

He wandered around the HP plants page provided by the system, and found a tea tree named "Shiyincao" among the second-level life plants in the hierarchical classification.This kind of tea tree looks a bit like a variant of the tea tree that Jiang Fan has seen. All the buds and leaves that can be picked and drunk are slightly white in color, which is very conspicuous in the green.

Jiang Fan finds it interesting that in order to continue to survive, all creatures in the world evolve to be inconspicuous, for fear that others will notice them. This tea tree is for fear that others will not notice it. It is very thoughtful to distinguish the most important part. There is a great love thought of self-sacrifice for others.

Jiang Fan chose such a kind of tea. As a second-level life plant, it needs second-level nutrients and spends more system coins, but it also gives back much more health than the first-level plants. Jiang Fan still makes money without losing money. of.

After choosing the tea to be planted, all you need to do is to find a suitable hilltop in the nearby villages. When the honeydew fruit is picked, you can pull out all the vines, scatter the tea seeds and grow the seedlings, and wait until you can transplant them. , the weather should have cooled down, which is suitable for workers to transplant.
