After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant
Chapter 5 Yellow Mud Decolorization
Ye Zhen was not polite, and immediately brought the rice over, handed a bowl to Xie Yunshu, then tore the roasted chicken apart, and the two had a full meal.
After eating, several officials escorted them out of the cell.
Because it was a lynching, the county magistrate could not drag them outside to execute them in a big way, but chose them in the backyard of the county government office.
Seeing the county magistrate, Ye Zhen immediately said: "Sir, before I die, I want to make a deal with you."
As a weak woman, what kind of deal can she make?
The county magistrate looked a little perfunctory and said: "If you have any last words, just say them. Once you have said it, we are on our way!"
Ye Zhen said calmly: "I saw that a large amount of sugar cane is planted here, and those hard laborers are boiling syrup day and night. I guess your land mainly produces brown sugar, right? If I say, I can make these rough brown sugar
Use a method to process it into fine white sugar. I wonder if you can give me a chance to trade?"
As soon as these words came out, the contempt on the magistrate's face instantly froze.
He looked at Ye Zhen in disbelief and said, "Do you really have a way to make white sugar?"
"If you don't believe me, you can let me give it a try. If I can make white sugar, it won't be too late for you to agree to it." Ye Zhen said confidently.
If only this could really turn brown sugar into white sugar!
That’s worth tens of thousands of dollars!
After all, the entire Daxia Kingdom now needs to import sugar from neighboring countries!
If his place could produce sugar! Not only would he be able to make money, but it would also be a great achievement!
The county magistrate was a little excited immediately!
He hurriedly stepped forward and let go of Ye Zhen, saying: "Try! Just try! As long as you make white sugar, I can agree to any deal you want!"
All she asked for was to spare their lives!
Anyway, Yang Aofei has already set off back to the capital! If she can really make sugar, then she will spare their lives!
After getting permission, Ye Zhen asked the county magistrate to take her to the sugar house.
I thought Ye Zhen would need a lot of things to make sugar, but who would have thought that in the end the only materials she used were a funnel and yellow mud water.
I saw Ye Zhen boiling the brown sugar until it became thick, pouring it from the funnel, then sealing the mouth with straw, and then pouring in the yellow mud water.
"You need to wait two or three days before you can refine the crude brown sugar into white sugar. One thousand kilograms of brown sugar can probably make three hundred kilograms of white sugar." Ye Zhen explained.
These officials were dubious.
But two days later, Ye Zhen removed the straw that blocked the hole and used an earthen jar to catch it. Sure enough, white icing came out.
Everyone in the sugar house was excited.
Even the county magistrate was so excited that he could not speak coherently.
He took the sugar from Ye Zhen's hand and tasted it.
"This sugar is so white! And it's sweeter than the white sugar you can buy from neighboring countries! The white sugar from neighboring countries seems to be mixed with red and black, not so white at all!" the county magistrate said with great joy.
Hearing what the county magistrate said, Ye Zhen explained: "It seems that the neighboring countries use the egg white decolorization method. This egg white decolorization method is simpler than the yellow mud decolorization method, but the decolorization is not as thorough as the yellow mud decolorization method, so they
The sugar sold will have some impurities."
Hearing what Ye Zhen said, the magistrate's eyes almost reflected.
"I wonder if Mrs. Xie can teach us this recipe?"
If he learned this method! It would be a great achievement for him!
"Okay! I only have one request, please allow us to be exiled to a nearby mountain village." Ye Zhen stated the conditions that had been discussed with Xie Yunshu before.
One of the masters was also very moved and stepped forward and said: "Sir! There is a village of criminals nearby. Almost all of them are descendants of exiled criminals. Export them there and spare their lives, but you can get something.
A recipe worth tens of thousands of gold is a guaranteed profit!"
Exiling them to that village, they could save their lives, and they could not escape within the jurisdiction of Lingnan. It was really a total loss of both!
The county magistrate almost didn't need to think twice and immediately agreed to Ye Zhen's request.
He ordered people to release Xie Yunshu, who was still in prison, and asked several officials to take them to the village in a carriage.
It was the first time that exiled criminals were sent to each other in horse-drawn carriages!
Because they were riding a carriage, Xie Yunshu and Ye Zhen quickly arrived at a place called Qingshan Village.
"There is a shabby bamboo house here, you can settle down here from now on!" the official said, pointing to a rickety bamboo house in front of him.
Ye Zhen saw that there were a lot of wastelands near the bamboo house. Thinking that she needed to live here, she couldn't help but said: "Master, can you give us some wastelands nearby so that we can grow some food?"
day?"
Seeing that it was all wasteland and of no use, the official said indifferently: "Okay, if you want to plant it, just plant it."
After that, these officials drove away directly in their carriages.
Seeing the carriage going further and further away, Xie Yunshu and Ye Zhen had mixed feelings in their hearts.
This miserable life of exile is finally over.
Although this is a remote place, I can finally settle down.
"Let me help you in." Because Xie Yunshu's crutches were thrown away, it was difficult for him to walk, so Ye Zhen had to step forward to help Xie Yunshu and walked into the bamboo house.
This bamboo house is dilapidated and already somewhat crumbling.
"This bamboo house can't be lived in like this. We need to find someone to help repair it." Ye Zhen moved the luggage in and said in a deep voice.
"We are new here and don't have anything to offer. I'm afraid we can't easily ask others to help." Xie Yunshu frowned and said.
"Who said we have nothing to offer?" Ye Zhen suddenly stepped into the space in front of Xie Yunshu.
She clicked on the system and found that she already had more than 150 points.
There are already a lot of things that can be exchanged for more than one hundred points.
Ye Zhen exchanged fifty pounds of white flour and some modern high-yielding seeds.
The seeds placed in the space have been tempered by countless scientists. They are not only heat and cold resistant, but also very high-yielding and have a fast growth cycle.
She came out with fifty kilograms of white noodles, and Xie Yunshu was dumbfounded.
"You, you still said you don't know magic?" Xie Yunshu's voice trembled with excitement.
Ye Zhen: "This is not a spell. This is a personal space developed by scientists in our world. It contains a lot of supplies, but you need to do good deeds and help others to gain merit points before you can redeem them."
Xie Yunshu was half convinced and half doubtful.
"You rest at home. I'll go to the village to find a few people to help repair the house."
Saying that, Ye Zhen carried the white noodles and walked towards the more concentrated area of the house.
As soon as Ye Zhen came over, she found that many villagers were surrounding her to watch.
These villagers are descendants of exiled criminals, and many of them are Han Chinese from the capital.
At this time, only people in the Central Plains were called Han people, while people in Lingnan were called barbarians.
"Hello everyone, I'm new here. Because my husband has bad legs and feet, I would like to ask a few people to help repair the house. The people who help are willing to pay two pounds of white flour." Ye Zhen said politely.
However, the villagers in this village were more enthusiastic than Ye Zhen expected.
"Girl, you are so polite! Now that we have come to Qingshan Village, we are all fellow villagers. We are just helping to repair the house, so what kind of reward do we need!"
"That's right! We are all from the village, so it's normal to help. No need for any reward!"
"That's right. Let's hurry up and help this girl repair her house before it gets dark."
Hearing everyone's enthusiasm, Ye Zhen was very frightened.
She kept bowing and said: "Thank you everyone! Thank you so much! Since everyone refuses to ask for my reward, I will quickly light the fire and make some interviews for everyone to try."
You can't let others help you in vain.
Several men and women brought their hatchets and tools, went to the bamboo house where Ye Zhen lived, and got busy.
Ye Zhen took the lead in cleaning up the kitchen and started kneading the dough.
Anyway, these villagers didn't know if she had supplies, so she exchanged some eggs from the space and cut a bunch of wild leeks outside the house.
She mixed the dough, chopped the leek and egg fillings, rolled them into buns, and steamed them in a big pot.
Several villagers worked very quickly, not only helping to repair the house, but also helping to make beds for the original cart.
"Come! Let's all eat steamed buns!" Ye Zhen brought out a pot of steamed buns and greeted warmly.
Several villagers also had cheerful personalities. Seeing that all the buns brought out by Ye Zhen were plump and generous, and smelled fragrant, they couldn't help but reach out and grab them.
Break open the soft outer skin, and inside you will find fragrant and oily leek and eggs.
After taking a bite, these villagers immediately praised and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you are so lucky. Your wife's craftsmanship is so good! These steamed buns are so delicious!"
"That's right! Girl, what did you use for the filling? It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious buns!"
"I'll teach you when I have time." Ye Zhen replied without hesitation.
Several villagers had full stomachs after eating, and Ye Zhen generously stuffed them with several steamed buns and asked them to take them home to eat.
By the time these villagers left, it was completely dark.
Ye Zhen was about to close the door when a burst of crying suddenly came from outside the door.
She looked up and saw a couple on their way with a boy about ten years old, walking forward in a hurry.
"Go faster! This is a remote place! There is no place to stay! Hurry up and see if you can find an inn! Otherwise, I will leave you in the wild to feed the wolves!" When the woman saw that the child was walking slowly, she immediately pinched her.
He touched the child's ears and cursed harshly.
"That's right! It's because you're such a stinky boy that you walk so slowly! You can't find the inn after walking for so long!" The man was even more ruthless. He actually raised his hand and slapped the child hard on the face.
The child was slapped and immediately stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Pretend to be dead! Are you pretending to be dead again?" The man suddenly grabbed the little boy and then slapped him several times in the face without any explanation.
The child was beaten so severely that he was already on the verge of death, but during the whole process, he remained silent and did not even cry.
"There is something wrong with this couple! They must be human traffickers!" Ye Zhen immediately concluded.
Xie Yunshu was about to stop her, but Ye Zhen had already rushed out.
