Watch Zhao Tie egg wash his nose by the well.Zhu Hongsan said to him, “Big cousin, do you know why this is?”

Zhao Tie egg shook his head and said, "I don't know, look like a fairy."

"Yes, this is the fairy Fa, I was taught the fairy law by the fairy, and now I teach you, you can't tell outsiders to know no."

Zhao Tie egg asked, “What will happen when I say it?”

"If you say it, the whole family will die, your father, your brother, your mother will die, you will die, you know no."

The most important thing for Zhao Tie egg is his father and brother, and he nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry about the three children, I won't say."

Zhu Hongsan continued to fool Zhao Tie egg: "You swore a poison oath that you should tell others that your whole family will die."

Zhao Tie egg hesitated and said, “Can’t my father say it?”

“Do you want your father to die?”

“I don’t want to, I swear.I want to say to outsiders that I will die for the whole family, my father, my brother, my mother, my aunt, my cousin are dead."

Zhu Hongsan rolled his eyes: "Your mother, what are you doing with me?"When he came to take the poison oath, he said, "Okay, things come together, go out and play, come to dinner in the evening, uncle, I will tell him."

After waiting for Zhao Tie egg to go out, Zhu Hongsan came to his shop from the back door and saw the old lady sitting behind the counter.The old lady saw Zhu Hongsan come in and said, "My son didn't go out to play today."

"Yes, mother, do you have time, come back and tell me something."

“What’s the matter, can’t you say here?”

Zhu Hongsan took the old lady's hand and said, "Go home, this is my secret."

Shen Chaozi smiled, "Coordinary, go home, my son will kiss you now, and when she grows up, there will be no such thing, and my son and his daughter-in-law almost never talk to me."

Zhao Chunhua smiled, “My three children can’t, that good sister-in-law, you help me see the stall, I’ll go home and see what the secret is.”

Zhu Hongsan pulled the old lady back from the backyard to the front yard.The old lady saw that the fore yard was the stove and the cylinder and said, "My mother, what kind of demon do you do at home."

Zhu Hongsan did not talk to the old lady, opened the sugar paper bag to show the mother: "Mother, you see what this is?"

The old lady took a look and said, “What?Is it salt?What a fine salt.”

“Mother, try it.”

Zhao Chunhua took a little by hand and put it on the tip of his tongue, exclaimed: "It is snow candy, so sweet, son, you got it, this bag has three pounds."

He said, “This is what my son did.”

“Did you do it yourself?How to do it?It won't come out again."

Zhu Hongsan said angrily, “Mother, look, I am doing it to you again.”Mother, bring me ten pounds of sugar in the shop."

The mother brought the brown sugar, and Zhu Hongsan did another side according to the steps just now.This time, due to experience, the sugar rate is relatively high, enough to have five pounds of white sugar.

The mother-in-law Zhao Chunhua looked at the seven or eight pounds of white sugar inside the paper bag and could not speak.Zhu Hongsan was afraid of the old lady and frightened and stupid, and in the past patted the mother's back and asked, "Mother, what happened to you?"

Zhao Chunhua reacted with a good half day and hugged Zhu Hongsan and said, "Son, we are rich."

When Zhao Chunhua was excited to go over and began to ask Zhu Hongsan to learn there, Zhu Hongsan had already thought of the answer, saying that in the dream of a horse-faced grandfather taught him, and carefully described the appearance of the old grandfather of the horse face.Isn't that what Zhu Yuanzhang looks like?I see the portrait of the emperor every year.Zhao Chunhua quickly pulled Zhu Hongsan to his knees and bowed three heads in the direction of the emperor's mausoleum of Nanjing's old Zhu, saying, "Thank you for giving my son's divine skills."

Zhu Hongsan secretly left his mouth and thought: "Old Zhu will still this?"It's not my son, I learned well, and I still remember the craftsmanship of earthy white sugar."

In fact, Zhu Hongsan's handmade white sugar is not very perfect, due to the inevitable pollution in the production process, the finished white sugar is not pure white, with a little milk white.But this is also much stronger than the snow sugar of the Ming Dynasty, the snow sugar in the Ming Dynasty is purely with gauze to filter out the impurities, and then boiled, this sugar appears to be light yellow.

Zhu Hongsan asked the mother, “What should I do with this sugar?”

"Of course, it was sold, and some people in the county could afford it, and it was best to put it in your uncle's shop in the city."

Zhu Hongsan's second uncle, called Zhao Ming, opened a tea house in Wuchang Province.

Zhu Hongsan said, "Mother, it is better not to say that my son did this."

The old woman asked, “Why?”

"Mother, you think, there are so many official dignitaries in Wuchangfu, as well as Chu Wang and county kings, they want to know that their son will make snow candy, can they have a son?"

The old lady nodded, "Yes, the bastards who eat people who don't spit on bones can't let them know what you think, son."

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Now will do sugar is the son and Zhao iron egg, I told him in the morning, anyway, he is not proud of his aunt, mother you better in the name of the poor child to our cousin to live, I and my cousin is still a companion, together to make sugar, this method can not be passed on."My uncle can lead a man there."

The old lady laughed and scolded, "You ghostly spirit, but the iron egg is also really poor, and the head is not very good."Well, I'll go to tell your uncle in a moment, and save your uncle's trouble.“What about this sugar?”

"This is simple, put in the second uncle to sell, but do not tell him that we do it ourselves, it is said that you entered a batch of white sugar want to make some money, but no one in the county can afford to sell, to the second uncle sold it, snow candy twelve silver one or two, we sell fifteen or two, to my uncle two red on the line."

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, the most fierce opposition to your uncles and you and your father were right, this time let them drink some soup."These seven or eight pounds of snow sugar is a little less, can you do more.

"How much does it feel to be appropriate?"

“First a hundred pounds.”

Zhu Hongsan was shocked by the old lady's big hand and asked, "Let's buy thirteen two silver and one or two, this hundred pounds is 13,000 silver ah, is there so much silver in Wuchang?"

The old lady smiled and said, "You are too small to see your prince relatives, Chu Wang, King, Xing Wang, they have no millions of worth, maybe a million two silver can not take out ten thousand two silver is a small meaning."

Zhu Hongsan heard this remembered that after the future, HN Fu Wang found millions of silver in the royal palace after his death, Li Zicheng into BJ from the home of various ministers to get 70 million silver, it seems that there is no money to learn Yongzheng, copy the minister's family is also a good way to money.

When the old lady had finished, she went to my uncle to talk about the Zhao Iron Egg.I was sleepy in my bed, I was only five years old, and this day the high-intensity labor was really tired.

When I woke up, I was about to lighten.Zhu Hongsan rubbed his eyes to see the dog eggs lying on the head of his bed, across the window to see the kitchen lights on, presumably the old lady is cooking.Zhu Hongsan light hands up, try not to disturb the dog eggs.I went out and brought the door, and I smelled it before I went to the kitchen.The old lady saw me enter the house and smiled and asked me, "If you are hungry, it will be good for a while, the red meat that your mother made for you tonight."

Zhu Hongsanxi said, “Great, I’m going to starve to death.”“Mother, you are going to find your uncle.”

"Come on, I'll call him out in the gate."

“What did your uncle say?”

"What can he say, I told him that the dog will live in our house and will starve to death sooner or later."Oh, your uncle is also very poor, your aunt is too good, the money in the family is she is in charge.Your two uncles are all right.

Zhu Hong nodded and said, “What did the uncle say?”

"Your uncle said sorry for this child, let me have more trouble to think, after a few years he tried to find a way."He can do a shitty way."

"That's right, I have a companion."

"Or the most sensible thing to do, don't learn your two uncles."

Zhu Hongsan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, even if you marry your daughter-in-law, you will also let her wash her feet."

Zhao Chunhua said, "Or my family treasure is the most distressing mother."

Zhu Hongsan then asked: "Mother, tomorrow my cousin and I began to make sugar, first do a hundred pounds?"

“How long does it take for my son to do it, and what more do you need?”

"Mainly raw materials, how to say brown sugar is also 200 pounds, lime 100 pounds, charcoal 100 pounds, but also a larger cylinder, but also a large iron pot."On the first day, you can get 15 or 20 pounds, and it will take half a month to complete it all."

Zhao Chunhua said, “Well, tomorrow I will go into the raw materials.”Son, we have a good day.“Let your cousin get up and eat.”

Zhu Hongsan returned to his house to wake up the dog eggs and come to the kitchen.The dog egg looked at the red-hot meat and lighted, but did not dare to move the chopsticks first.Zhao Chunhua sighed, and the child made his stepmother stupid.

Zhao Chunhua gave the two children a meal and said, "Dog eggs, eat it, just like your own home."Zhao dog egg promised to throw away the cyclone chopsticks and tugged after the teeth, Zhu Hong three bowls of rice have not yet eaten, he has eaten the second bowl.Zhao Chunhua said, “Slow down, some people, I bought five pounds of meat today.”“Fuck, I’ll tell you something.”

The dog egg stopped the chopsticks and looked at Zhao Chunhua and said, “Aunt, tell me.”

"I'll go to your father in the afternoon, and you'll be at your aunt's house."My aunt will certainly keep you warm."

"Well, I'll listen to my aunt."

Zhao Chunhua rubbed his eyes and said, "Poor child, rest assured that there is an aunt, your mother-in-law must not dare to bully you, and when your aunt grows up, tell you a daughter-in-law."

The dog said, "Well, my aunt is my mother."

Zhao Chunhua smiled, “Stupid child, I am your aunt, how did I become a mother again?”

Zhao Chunhua said to Zhu Hongsan: "Three children, your cousin is thick, you will not bully your cousin in the future."

"Don't worry, mother, he's my brother."

After eating, Zhao Chunhua took the new bed quilt to Zhao dog eggs and said, "Dog eggs, you squeeze with your brother tonight, and tomorrow your aunt will find a carpenter and then a new bed."

The dog said, "Okay, aunt."

The two of them fell asleep after a while.
