After running around for a few days, except for the consent of a few families that Luo Hua knew well, nothing was found.Li Jianzhong had nothing to do, so he had the cheek to come to Luo Hua again.

"No one wants to plant?" Luo Hua frowned.

Li Shi, who was worried about Li Jianzhong and followed him, snorted coldly: "If you don't plant them, why don't you ask them to plant them?"

Li Jianzhong immediately waved his hands when he heard the words: "No, no, no." He hesitated for a while, and said embarrassedly, "Well, everyone is, just not sure, this sugar production..."

Luo Hua understood: "Do you not believe that these things can make sugar?"

Li Jianzhong smiled wryly: "I think so." He paused, and quickly explained, "I believe in you, I heard that you were the one who made the rice noodle recipe, so it's not too difficult to think about making another sugar recipe. ..."

"Then it's—"

Luo Hua grabbed Li Shi and waved to Li Jianzhong: "It's okay, I understand what you mean." After thinking about it for a while, he could also understand the reason.They are all people who rely on the fields for food, so they must be more conservative.He lowered his head and thought for a while, "How about I make a batch of sugar and show it to everyone?"

Li Jianzhong rubbed his hands, not in a good mood: "If it is possible, it is naturally the best."

Li Shi said with a straight face: "I have no choice but to coax them into doing it for them."

Luo Hua turned his body sideways and quickly squeezed his palm: "It's something to do, and it's worth doing once and for all."

Li Shi didn't speak.

Luo Hua turned around and said to Li Jianzhong: "In two days, when the malt sprouts on my side, I'll ask you to watch it together."

Li Jianzhong was overjoyed: "Then I will trouble you!"

Luo Hua shook his head: "It's okay, I just happen to have to do it too. I'll give you another copy when it's done."

"Cheng Chengcheng." Li Jianzhong glanced into the room, saw a guest inside, and waved his hands to let him go. "When you are ready, come to me directly. You can go to work first."

Luo Hua nodded.

After sending Li Jianzhong away, the two returned to the house.

The guest in the hall was none other than Wu Yingfeng.

When he came back this time, Luo Hua asked Li Shi to send him a message, inviting him to come.

Wu Yingfeng was talking to Qin Zheng and the others about the rice noodles at the moment: "...I just vacated a village on the outskirts of Gaozhou Prefecture and asked people to make rice noodles day and night, so that they would sell enough." Seeing Luo Hua After coming back to sit down, he turned to Luo Hua, "Xiaohua's prescription has made me a lot of money." Otherwise, how could he have heard that he has other prescriptions, so he came here from Gaozhou in a hurry?

Luo Hua hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't, I'm just providing the prescription. Uncle Feng's management is right." But he was also curious, "Which ways of eating are selling more?"

Wu Yingfeng smiled: "As you expected, cold rice noodles are very popular."

Luo Hua felt a little embarrassed: "Well, the weather is hot now, and it's normal to like to eat cold salad. In winter, it will definitely become the most popular soup rice noodle."

Wu Yingfeng cupped his hands: "Thank you for your suggestion."

"Uncle Feng is very polite."

The topic of rice noodles is over for now, Wu Yingfeng turned to ask about the message: "I heard that you have something new to sell to me?"

Luo Hua looked at Li Shi, saw Li Shi nodded, and then turned back: "Yes, I didn't understand it in the letter, so I just had the cheek to ask you to come here again."

"Based on my friendship with your family, there is no need to worry about such trivial matters. If I really can't get away, I won't be polite to you." Wu Yingfeng smiled.

Luo Hua smiled: "Then I'll just say it straight, it's like this, our corn is harvested."

Wu Yingfeng nodded: "Good thing." Then asked, "Can you cook some corn-related food?" After all, it is a new species, if it is not normal, he can provide one or two.

"That's not true." Luo Hua shook his head, "I also know a little about how to eat corn. I'm here to discuss a long-term cooperation deal with Uncle Feng, which is about corn cobs and corn stalks."

"Corn cobs? Straw?" Aren't these just used as firewood?

"Yes, I have a way to use these corn cobs and corn stalks to refine caramel, and," Luo Hua looked at him and smiled, "making wine."

"Caramel and wine?" Wu Yingfeng wondered.Do you want to sell him the recipe or sell him the finished product?Whichever it is, always ask first.Thinking of this, he raised his head again, "Let's talk about the appearance first. If you are making caramel, how much sugar can be produced from these things produced per mu? How sweet is it? If you are making wine, how much is it? How is the wine?"

"Sugar, if you add cornmeal, it will be better than the caramel produced from malt. If you don't add it, the quality is only slightly inferior, and it won't be too big. As for the sugar, it is between 200% and [-]%. And wine , about [-] catties to [-] catties, slightly stronger than ordinary widow wine, but milder than burning knives and the like."

Surprise flashed across Wu Yingfeng's eyes.

A businessman is a businessman, and he doesn't need to talk to Li Jianzhong at all, and he has to explain everything one by one, and he can understand the profit with a little mention.

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "If you are interested, I will give you both of these prescriptions."

Both sugar and wine are easy to sell. In the past, they could only be made from solid grains such as wheat and rice. If they can be made from these leftover waste after harvest, the profit will be more than a hundred times during the period.

Wu Yingfeng is not stupid, he is even a shrewd businessman.

Even if these leftover materials are bought, they are not worth a few dollars.Not to mention the appearance of the product mentioned by Luo Hua, the profit from this output alone is already considerable.

If the quality is worse, it’s a big deal to sell it cheaper. Compared with the money that needs to be paid, the profit is not a little bit.

What if the quality is really as Luo Hua said?

Luo Hua only gave a few simple introductions, and he already saw the huge business opportunities in it.

He stared at Luo Hua with burning eyes: "Really? Do you really know the exact prescription? Is it feasible?"

Luo Hua nodded: "Sure. Tang, I have prepared a batch of ingredients here. If you are not in a hurry, I can make a batch of caramel in the next two days, and I will give you a taste."

"Alright." Wu Yingfeng couldn't wait any longer.

Luo Hua continued: "I don't have any wine-making equipment here, so I won't try brewing. I'll give you the recipe later, and you can find someone to test it."

Wu Yingfeng laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'll deny Fangzi after I take Fangzi away?"

"Didn't you say that based on the friendship between our two families, there is no need to be polite? Don't you still need a piece of money from me?" Luo Hua's attitude was frank this time.With Li Shi, I am not afraid that he will renege on his debts.

This is not the same as the last time when I intentionally or unintentionally drew a line with Li Shi.Wu Yingfeng glanced at Li Shi in surprise—it seems that General Li got someone?

Li Shi smiled smugly, reached out to the side with the hand under the table, grabbed Luo Hua's hand and held it tightly.

Luo Hua coughed a little shyly, but did not refuse.

Qin Zheng was shown another face, and immediately rolled his eyes.

Wu Yingfeng smiled.

Luo Hua resisted the heat on his face, and changed the subject: "Uncle Feng, before I hand over the prescription to you, I want to discuss a few issues with you first."

"Please say."

"I will teach the people in the village the recipe for making sugar, so I will give it to you without charging any fees." He looked at Wu Yingfeng and said solemnly, "I think, from this year onwards, our village should be able to Many people grow corn. At that time, they will either make their own sugar or sell the straw directly. I hope you can come to our village to buy it.”

Wu Yingfeng thought for a while: "Can you let us decide the price?"

"This is natural. Especially caramel, the finished product may not always be good in appearance, which needs to be estimated by you. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether they will sell it to you." He paused, "I just want to find a way out for the folks."

Wu Yingfeng looked at him strangely for a while, then cupped his hands: "Okay, I agree to this matter. In the future, when purchasing these materials, Hexi Village must be the first choice."

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and returned a salute: "Uncle Xie Feng."

"It's just a matter of little effort." Wu Yingfeng shook his head, "Heroes come out of youth. At such a young age, he never forgets to help his neighbors when doing things. Wu admires him."

Luo Hua scratched his head: "Uncle Feng, don't praise me, these are just a matter of little effort to me."

Wu Yingfeng shook his head.Whether it is a matter of little effort or not, he has made his own judgment after traveling all over the world for many years.

"Let's talk about wine recipes." Luo Hua changed the topic, and smiled slyly at Wu Yingfeng, "I don't know what price Uncle Feng plans to make?"

"Exclusive sale?" Wu Yingfeng asked.This word was mentioned by Luo Hua in the rice noodle recipe last time.

Luo Hua nodded: "Naturally."

Wu Yingfeng pondered for a moment, raised his hand, stretched out his five fingers, and turned the front and back of each other: "1000 taels of silver, how about it?"

Luo Hua was overjoyed: "Uncle Feng is straightforward, let's make a deal!" Fearing that Wu Yingfeng would regret it, he couldn't wait to stand up, "Wait a moment, I'll go and get the prescription for you." He bowed and saluted, and he jumped in. into the room.

Wu Yingfeng waited for him to enter the house, turned around and asked Li Shi: "You daughter-in-law, you played beautifully." He made money in a low-key manner, and pointed the way to the village.In a few years, this Hexi Village must be able to change its appearance.

Li Shi looked proud: "That's natural."

"This kind of knowledge does not look like someone who grew up in a small village..." Wu Yingfeng had a deep meaning.

Li Shi raised his eyebrows: "No matter who he is or where he comes from, you just need to remember that she is my Li Shi's wife!" After speaking, he glanced at Qin Zheng meaningfully.

Qin Zheng quickly waved his hand, signaling that he would not get involved.

Wu Yingfeng squinted his eyes: "Miscellaneous studies, understands business, treats people with a degree of advance and retreat, and is generous..." He sighed, "I don't know where the big family taught the children." Knowing a lot, when we first met, I looked down on this country boy...

He turned to Li Shi and said solemnly: "Master Li, this son is good, I hope you will cherish him."

Li Shi smiled and nodded.

Qin Zheng rubbed his chin—could it be that he had a prejudice against Luo Hua?

It just so happened that Luo Hua walked out with the prescription, and everyone just kept silent.

After discussing the details here, and making an appointment to come over in a few days, Wu Yingfeng hurried back with the sugar and wine prescription.

The malt that Luo Hua soaked in advance is already good.He called Li Jianzhong, Li Dong, Luo Changan and others, and started making sugar.

A batch of corncobs and straws reserved in advance are ground, soaked, washed and drained, steamed in the upper drawer, mixed with malt milk when it is slightly cooled, and then saccharified in the lower vat.

Saccharification should maintain heat.Luo Hua had already thought about this problem when he was building the house.

There is a warm wall in the main room of the new house, so he simply put the saccharification there, and by the way, he can dry out the moisture in the new house.

Li Shi was asked to build a high-shelf cage, and the saccharification vat was stuffed directly into the cage, and placed on the stove against the flue of the stove, and then the fire started underneath.

The burning didn't end until midnight.

Then release the sugar solution and filter it, and immediately boil the sugar in a pot to concentrate it to make maltose.

When the sky brightened, the big pot of yellow-brown caramel was finally ready.

The three of Li Jianzhong who stayed up all night were very excited.

Hearing what Luo Hua said, Li Shi put down the stirring spoon and looked up at him: "Then can you go back and rest?"

"Wait a minute, this candy has to be put away." Luo Hua looked at the yellow-brown caramel and smiled happily.There is no thermometer, no hygrometer, and all kinds of modern tools. I didn't expect the color to be better than expected.

"I won't lose it here." Li Shi grabbed the sweat towel around his neck and wiped his sweat, and said angrily, "Just put it here, and anyone who doesn't believe it can come and have a look."

Luo Hua blinked: "Looks like, okay?"

Li Shi glanced at the few people who were huddled in front of the stove, took his hand and pulled it out: "Is it okay to say another thing, you stayed up all night, now go back to rest right away!" He gritted his teeth, "I will take good care of you This is not how my daughter-in-law works for irrelevant people."

Being dragged out, Luo Hua looked back, thinking that there was nothing to do, so he let him go.Hearing this, he immediately retorted: "I'm not stupid. I'm so tired, it's enough to do it once. When I do it, I call Brother Dongzi and the others." He smiled slyly, "I just want to be a shopkeeper in the future. If anyone doesn't Go find them if you will.”

Li Shi's face looks better now.

Luo Hua squinted at him: "Don't worry now?"

Li Shi rubbed the top of his hair: "Well, it would be better if you can go back and rest quickly."

"Why don't you rest!" Luo Hua picked up his clothes and sniffed them. "It's a hot day, I've been bored in front of the stove for a day and a night, and my whole body is sour! You have to wash before you can sleep—hmm!"

Li Shi seized the opportunity and tweeted at him: "I don't dislike it."

Luo Hua, who was almost used to being kissed, wrinkled his nose: "I despise you!" He pressed Li Shi's chest and pushed it out, warning, "You are not allowed to go to bed without washing and changing!"

Li Shi: ...

The two returned to the old house after a fight.Qin Zheng got up as usual and went up to the mountain to practice martial arts.The two of them took turns to take a shower and change their clothes, then went into the room and hugged each other to catch up on sleep.

I didn't get up until noon.

After hastily eating lunch, Li Shi went to the new house to help, and Luo Hua, who was still a little sleepy, wondered if he should rest for a while, when there was a sudden noise outside.

He walked out of the door strangely, and through the open courtyard door, he saw two carriages approaching their house from far and near, with a group of urchins chasing after them.The excited cheers were caused by these kids.

The dusty carriage looked simple, and it didn't look like it belonged to Wu Yingfeng's family.Besides, if he comes here, he won't take two carriages——

Wait, could it be...?

He suddenly remembered the family that Li Shi had mentioned.

Hurriedly jumping down the steps, Luo Hua took a few steps to the door, opened the courtyard door further, and waited for the carriage to come.

After a while, the carriage came close.

The strong man driving the carriage tightened the reins, and the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the courtyard, followed by the one behind it.

The burly man scanned the surroundings and confirmed that there was only this dilapidated house nearby, beside the half-built outer wall, he could vaguely see busy figures inside.After sweeping around, he turned his head and shouted into the car: "Uncle Zhang, we're here." After that, he jumped out of the carriage.

Only then did Luo Hua realize that his right foot was lame.

An old man got out of the carriage. He looked only five or sixty years old, but he had a refined demeanor.

He took a few glances at Luo Hua, and then got out of the carriage.

Two men came down from the carriage behind.One has a white left eye and looks like he can't see, and the hideous scar is very scary; the other looks quite gentle, but his left sleeve is tied tightly, exposing his empty left forearm.

The four of them walked to the gate of the courtyard.

The strong man at the head cupped his hands towards Luo Hua: "Brother, is this Li Shi's family?"

Although these people looked a little scary, Luo Hua was naturally not afraid when he thought that they might be Li Shi's family members.He smiled and nodded, as if he hadn't noticed the disabilities of several people: "Yes, how many of them are the family members who came from the capital as Li Shi said?"

The strong man nodded, and the people behind him also heaved a sigh of relief.

The one-eyed man immediately yelled, "Why does the general live in such a crappy house!"

Luo Hua, who was full of smiles, froze immediately.
