Chapter 54: Give Your Name
Both of them were overjoyed and knelt down again: "Yang Shi, Yang Miao pays homage to the young master."
"Get up." Seeing Qinghouer showing envy, Yang Tian said: "Qinghouer, do you have a great name."
Qinghouer was stunned. He had a name. His family was pretty good before. His parents even asked him to study in a private school for two years. However, Qinghouer had been disobedient since he was a child. He often sneaked outside and fought and angered his parents to death. He felt that he had no shame to report his previous name, so he gave Qinghouer a pseudonym. As a result, he had been in trouble for so many years, and even he was about to forget his name.
This is when I heard Yang Tian ask, Qinghouer was blessed to the heart: "I would like to give my name to you."
"Well, there is a monkey in your name, so you will be named Yang Qinghou. I hope you can easily become the Marquis in the future."
Qinghouer suddenly smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and said, "Horse Yang Qinghou, Hou Yang Qing." The more she thought about it, the more she became happy. She was undoubtedly a thing she could never dream of in her dreams before. Following Yang Tian, she might have a chance. Of course, the opportunity is still very slim now.
There was only Yang Tian, a guest in the tavern. While talking, the waiter had already brought up a plate of fried dishes. The meat dishes were nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, etc., and the vegetarian dishes were only ordinary side dishes. Yang Shi and Yang Miao were hungry and were drooling. They just looked at Yang Tian, but they didn't dare to move their chopsticks first.
Yang Tian picked up a little of each dish and put it in his bowl. After a moment, the two of them dared to start. They started eating in small bites, but after a while, they didn't care and started to eat voraciously.
There is no MSG, no chili, no star anise, and the tavern is not good at cooking. The dishes are all cooked in water. Yang Tian just made them the same thing and had no appetite at all. Yang Qinghou, Yang Shi, and Yang Miao ate them with essence and taste.
Looking at the dishes on the table and sighing that he couldn't eat, Yang Tian suddenly felt a sense of his heart and remembered a good idea to make money, that is, sugar. In this era of lack of seasonings, if sugar can be made and sold, it will definitely cause Chang'an wealthy people to buy it wildly.
Yang Tian happened to know how to make sugar sugar from sugar cane. He pressed the sugar cane out of juice, filtered out impurities, and then added an appropriate amount of lime water to the filtrate to neutralize the acid contained therein, filtered, remove the precipitate, and passed carbon dioxide into the filtrate to precipitate the lime water into calcium carbonate. Repeat the filtrate. The obtained filtrate is a sucrose solution. The sucrose solution is evaporated in the airtight container, concentrated, and cooled, and the final result is brown sugar. Then dissolve the brown sugar in water, add an appropriate amount of activated carbon, adsorb the colored substances in the brown sugar, filter it again, and repeat the heating, concentration, and cooling the filtrate. The final result is white sugar.
There are already sugarcane planting near Chang'an, lime water, carbon dioxide, activated carbon, and airtight containers, which are all easy to obtain. Today's sugar is not even brown sugar, because I don't know how to filter it with lime water, and it contains a lot of impurities, which can only be considered gray sugar. As long as I know the method, I can actually make white sugar easily.
The most important thing is that this method of making money has little investment and quick results. It is most suitable for Yang Tian to accumulate a large amount of funds now. As long as the method of making sugar can be kept confidential, he can become one of the top rich people in the country with sugar.
Of course, Yang Tian’s purpose is not to become a rich man. He wants to use this money to form a secret team. In the future, whether it is to help his father usurp the Great Zhou dynasty or prevent other brothers from usurping the throne, it will be of great use.
When Yang Shi and Yang Miao and the others were full, most of the dishes on the table had gone. Looking at the two of them satisfied, Yang Tian asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to eat a little more?"
The two of them shook their heads at the same time, and their stomachs were about to be full if they ate: "Young master, we are full."
"Do you want to eat such dishes every day?"
The two of them opened their eyes wide at the same time. Even if they were in the Duke's house, they would not be able to give their servants such a sumptuous meal every day. In their hearts, they could eat it once a month. No, they would be satisfied if they ate it once a month in March.
Qinghouer lives in the Duke's Mansion for about a month. Of course, he knows that although the servants of the Duke's Mansion can have enough food, they are just so big and big. It only takes ten days, and only once every once in half a month, and they basically have to be on a festive day.
"Why, don't believe it, don't worry, as long as you follow me to do things, in about half a month, you can live a life of eating big fish and meat every day."
Yang Shi said stutteringly: "Young Master, we don't require big fish and meat every day, as long as we can eat a full meal."
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Yang Tian didn't force it. When the sugar was made, they would naturally know: "Okay, wrap the remaining dishes and let's go and see the injured brothers."
The few of them breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yang Tian was just joking, Yang Shi and Yang Miao borrowed a blue piece from the store and put the dishes in several large bowls, without even letting go of the soup.
This meal cost less than 200 yuan. Yang Tian thought that he still had more than 20 yuan in copper coins, so he felt relieved that he should be enough to last until the moment the sugar was on the market.
The place where several wounded people lived was Qinghouer's former home. This yard was quite large. The walled open space was at least 300 square meters. On the front was a main hall covering an area of dozens of square meters. There were two rooms on both sides, and there were five green brick and tile houses.
If you can live in such a house, you should be considered a middle-class family in Dazhou. Only after entering it did you realize that this family was completely defeated. The courtyard was full of weeds, and the house was barely covered in the room. In the hall, the sunlight on your head shone in, and there were many holes on the tiled house above.
"Young Master, the wet house is simple, please don't be surprised." Qing Houer looked up at Yang Tian and looked at the hole on it, with a little embarrassed. What's more, there was no table or stool in the hall, and he sold all the things that could be sold at home. Although this yard was broken, the location was good. If it was sold, it would actually get a lot of money. However, Qing Houer still had the last bit of backbone, guarding the yard left by his ancestors, he would rather be hungry than sell it.
This yard is usually a place for Qinghouer to gather with his subordinates. This is also the capital for Qinghouer to be the boss. If it is sold, the gangsters around Qinghouer might disband. This is also the reason why Qinghouer doesn't sell the yard. Qinghouer is not in a month, so he can easily find Yang Shi and Yang Miao, and it is also relying on this yard.
