Chapter 555 (1/2)
Dayan stands in the sugar shop, his eyes scanning.
There are rows of small open wooden jars on the stone platform outside the sugar house. There are thick amber honey in them. Bees come from time to time and wind around the wooden cans.
On the other side of the platform, there are all kinds of tree syrup in the wooden jar, as well as pieces of sweet gum.
He had seen all of them before. He was not surprised. He just glanced at them.
Looking inside, he found that there were many square wooden baskets on the stone shelf beside the wall. Inside were linen bags, which contained fine particles as white as snow.
Big Yan's eyes brightened: ”is this salt? What a clean fine salt! It's a bit whiter than the salt of the Jiugong tribe
Shopkeeper: ”this is not salt, this is white granulated sugar.”
Dayan didn't believe it. He grabbed a pinch of white granulated sugar with his rough hands and smashed it in his mouth. He said strangely, ”it's really sweet! How do you make this kind of sugar? ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: ”this was invented by our Lord Xiwu a few days ago. As for how to make it We ordinary people really don't know. ”
Dayan has a psychological shadow on the four characters of ”Xiwu Lord” these days. When he heard this, he looked unnatural, and immediately turned his eyes to other commodities.
He saw many pieces of dark red things in the wooden basket on the other row of stone shelves, and rudely took one piece and threw it into his mouth.
”So sweet!”
The shopkeeper said with a smile, ”this is brown sugar. It was invented by master Xiwu.”
Hearing these four words, Dayan was stiff. He took a breath and looked at the maltose in the wood crevice.
Shopkeeper: ”your good eyesight, this is also Xi...”
”Wait!” ”Don't say it, I know it!” he said
He covered his forehead in pain.
On the other side, Hongmo stops in front of a stone jar, reaches out and twists a piece of translucent rock sugar inside, stares at it for a long time, and finally puts it into his mouth.
”Captain, this is sugar too!”
The color of surprise flashed in his burning eyes. He also took a crystal sugar and put it into the import: ”how can this sugar look like a transparent ore? Where can they find a sugar mine?”
”I've heard of salt mines, but will there be sugar mines?” he asked
The shopkeeper came over and said with a smile, ”it's not natural. It's our Xi...”
”Stop it!”
”Shut up!”
”Shut up!”
Their faces changed slightly and they cried out in one voice.
The shopkeeper stopped talking and said nothing. The three people from the super big tribe couldn't be provoked by the whole Xicheng. He didn't dare to export to cause trouble for Xicheng.
As a matter of fact, this shopkeeper has already performed quite well. When ordinary tribesmen see the Liyang soldiers, they are all trembling. They are afraid to offend others, and they can not be as humble and arrogant as he is.
It's not that the shopkeeper himself is excellent, but Xicheng has cultivated his self-confidence that he can not show his timidity in front of the super big tribe.
Burning consciously lost his temper, grabbed his hair impatiently and went out.
Red desert looks to big inflammation: ”go!”
Dayan: ”wait a minute.”
He said to the shopkeeper, ”I want all the sugar you have except honey and tree syrup.”
Before waiting for the shopkeeper to reply, red desert looked at Dayan strangely: ”you don't like to eat sugar, why do you buy so much sugar?”
Big Yan's eyes flashed with love and explained, ”it's for the children, and my little granddaughter, Li Bao, likes sugar very much. Give her some fresh food.”
