"Hey, since the advent of white sugar, our old rock sugar's status has plummeted."

"No, it has become a cheap product. Brown sugar only costs five cents. Even the poor people in the village can afford it."

"This brown sugar and brown sugar are worthless at all. Those of us who make old rock sugar have a hard time. In just a few days, the red and yellow old rock sugar can no longer be sold. It piles up like a mountain. The rich people begin to dislike its color. It’s not pure, I think it’s dirty and expensive.”

This is a workshop for making old rock sugar and is affiliated with the sugar factory.

It used to be a hot cake, and the sugar-making masters who could work here were all first-class existences. Their wages used to be three times that of the workers who made brown sugar in Tutangliao!

Now, the situation has completely reversed.

The popularity of white sugar has almost overwhelmed the poor-looking luxury rock sugar.

Old rock sugar was originally bought by the richest upper class people in Yundu, but now they all buy white sugar, and the tawny old rock sugar has become abandoned.The sugar-making masters stopped working. Anyway, they couldn't sell the sugar if they made too much. It was a waste. They squatted in the sugar-making sheds and complained with sighs.

Exactly at this time!

A large group of migrant workers carrying large vats of soy milk poured in.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

"Where did you come from? Get out. This is the sugar factory of Her Royal Highness the Princess. No one can enter!"

The master who cooked Lao Bingtang was already angry and scolded him harshly.

I thought that if I climbed the high branch of the eldest princess at my workplace, I would be able to rise rapidly, and technicians like them would also be able to raise their wages accordingly, but I never thought that I would be in such a desperate situation that I would lose my job.

"We are from the Imperial City Mill, and this soy milk was sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

A strong man carrying a big vat with one hand smiled honestly, "Don't be upset, fellow fellow, we are all one family, don't hurt the harmony."

This is both a benefit to the brand.

When the masters of Lao Bingtang heard the golden sign of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, they immediately restrained their hostility and became friendly: "Hey, brothers, thank you for your hard work. Your Highness, the eldest princess, still remembers our shabby place? You sent soy milk to us. for drink?"

"It's not for drinking. Your Highness said it's for making rock candy."

Jiujiu Minzhuang put down the vat and scratched his head in embarrassment, "As for how to do it, we don't know."

The masters who made old rock candy gave a few cans of unsold old rock candy as a token of their gratitude to the people who worked in the Imperial City mill.

After half an hour.

Mu Tingxue arrived at the old rock candy workshop.

She glanced around and found that the sanitary environment here was quite good.It is worthy of being the luxury goods department of a sugar company.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose..."

"Everyone, please get up. We are here to talk about business. All pretense is waived."

Mu Tingxue waved her hand, "Who is in charge here?"

"The villain Tang Xian is the steward here."

A man of about 30 years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and caramel-colored skin came out and bowed respectfully, "This little guy has been making rock candy here for generations."

Mu Tingxue took a closer look and saw that he had a small V face and was quite handsome. Maybe he had boiled too much sugar, and his skin color became the color of old rock candy, which made his appearance drop by two points.

The Tang family, like other aristocratic families, has many branches within the family, each of which is in charge of a different family industry department.

"I heard that the old rock candy you sell here is not selling well."

"I beg Your Highness to have mercy and not to abolish the old rock candy workshop!" Tang Xian suddenly became anxious, kneeling down and begging for mercy, "If the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors is abandoned like this... I have no face to face my ancestors... Zong!"

"Go to the back mountain and chop some bamboo pieces and clean them."

Mu Tingxue reassured them, "Don't worry, new white rock sugar will be made, and the old yellow-brown rock sugar will not be eliminated. It has medicinal value, can reduce phlegm and relieve cough, clear away heat and detoxify, and replenish qi and blood."

The old rock sugar contains more nutritional value than white rock sugar.

The appearance is just not pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, the ancients did not have the concept of nutritional value. They had just received the impact of white sugar, so naturally they looked down on old rock sugar.

"Yes!"

Tang Xian was so happy that he quickly ordered the workers in the workshop to cut down the bamboo with him.

Soon.

Cleaned and thin bamboo slices were delivered.

"Dissolve ten pounds of white sugar in a clay pot and stir."

Mu Tingxue began to teach them how to make single crystal white rock candy.

Sweet cooks, please follow the instructions immediately.

After a while, the sugar water was mixed.

"The second step is to add the soy milk to the boiled sugar for clarification."

The masters who made rock candy all looked surprised.

Soy milk?

Isn't it the egg white?There are also a lot of eggs stored in the workshop, all of which are purchased from farms and specially used to make rock sugar.

The eldest princess's method is too weird.

Although the old masters murmured in their hearts, they still followed the instructions without daring to question them.

"The third step is to put clean thin bamboo slices into the boiled clarified sugar solution instead of cotton threads." Mu Tingxue also felt that the cotton threads in the rock sugar were really unsightly and made users feel dirty. "The sugar liquid will use the bamboo slices as the core of the condensation, and gradually condense into large pieces of rock sugar around the bamboo slices."

Most of the day passed.

These rock sugars, surrounding the bamboo slices, have condensed into white crystal blocks.

The sugar-cooking masters looked at it and couldn't help but admire it.

"It's much prettier than the old earth-yellow rock candy we made before!"

"It's really as white as snow. If this kind of white rock candy were sold on the market, wouldn't it immediately become a rare and in-demand item?"

"Great! Our rock candy workshop is saved again."

Everyone saw new hope.

When the rock sugar was almost solidified, Mu Tingxue returned with her children and fiancé after shopping for most of the day, and said, "Crush the rock sugar into small pieces and can them. Just pull out the bamboo slices inside." "

The sugar-cooking masters hammered and banged.

The rock sugar is broken into exquisite porcelain jars and sealed.

"Mom, this white rock candy is so beautiful, crystal clear, without any dirty and unappetizing cotton threads."

Zebao's grape-like eyes shone brightly.

This child has never eaten old rock candy because it was too dirty. Now, he couldn't control the greed in his stomach. He picked up a small piece, put it in his mouth and ate it, "It's so sweet!"

Mu Tingxue took a piece and stuffed it into Yan Yang's mouth: "Do you like it?"

Yan Yang's heart was pounding, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I like it very much."

Mu Tingxue smiled and said, "I'll make you Sichuan scallops and rock sugar stewed snow pears when I get home."

"Mom, I want to eat too."

"Okay, I'll make you some ketchup with sugar."
