Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

"It's done!"

The Cao family's production workshop is very comprehensive. Although there is no special sugar-pressing machinery, there are many similar ones.

Shen Wuming did a little assembly, and the workers successfully squeezed out sweet water from beets, and then refined it.

Seeing the syrup condensing in the pot, Cao Juyu, who was stirring hard, suddenly exclaimed.

She had also seen a sugar pressing workshop at home before, but they all used sugar cane instead of cowhide.

No one would have thought that the braised cabbage, which has only a faint sweetness, can actually be used to extract sugar?

"This is amazing. The price of this vegetable is much lower than that of sugar cane. If we produce it on a large scale..."

As the daughter of the richest man, Cao Zhuyu immediately sensed the business opportunities, and her eyes began to look forward to it.

She suddenly realized that Shen Wuming shouldn't have gone to the Mo family at all, but should have gone to their business.

Whether it is the mechanical car concept just proposed or the current beet sugar pressing, there is huge profit margin.

"Don't get too excited yet. Let's see how the final product turns out. Whether the sweetness is enough or not is the key."

In Shen Wuming's impression, although beet-pressed sugar is widely used, the finished product is inferior to sugarcane-pressed sugar.

There will be some differences in color and crystal particle size.

Now he is not pursuing perfection like sugar cane extraction, as long as it can be used.

In the feudal era, the price of sugar was not low.

As long as the price of these sugar candies can exceed the price of direct sales, he will have solved Pei Yuan's problem.

After a while, the sugar syrup has reached an extremely viscous level, so transfer it to a basin to air-dry.

With the help of the Mohist magic power, the sugar paste quickly took shape and turned into a hardened candy block.

"Cut it and try it."

Shen Wuming gave instructions to the operator next to him, but Cao Juyu had already broken off a piece.

Put it in your mouth, and the sweet feeling spreads throughout your mouth and goes straight down your throat.

It made her whole mood feel much better, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her bright eyes curled up with a smile.

"Not bad...the flavor is a bit different from that of sucrose. It's not as fine, but it's not that greasy either."

"If you use it for cooking, it might be a little worse, but if you use it for snacks, it won't have a special flavor."

Cao Juyu's comments are naturally very valuable. She said so, so it's not much different.

[You used beets to squeeze sugar for the first time, setting a precedent for gourmets, and your gourmet cultivation level broke through to the second level]

[You have developed a way to extract sugar and served people’s lives, and your Mohist cultivation has improved]

Shen Wuming raised his eyebrows. Cultivation in this world is really simple.

However, he did not expect that the cultivation levels of the Mo family and the food family would improve at the same time.

Shen Wuming raised his eyebrows, but didn't care, but picked up a piece of beet candy and tasted it.

The taste is indeed similar to what Cao Juyu said.

"Then the next step is mass production and promotion..."

Shen Wuming thought carefully.

Cao Juyu quickly raised her hand, "You can leave the production to me, and I don't charge processing fees. I only have a small request."

"What?"

"When selling this candy, add the name of our Cao Family Workshop, okay? Free processing."

Shen Wuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Juyu in surprise. This girl was a piece of business material.

Even if it is large-scale production, there is no pressure on the Cao family workshop, since the machinery is available anyway.

On the contrary, when this beet-pressed sugar first came out, it was named after their Cao Family Workshop.

It's like free advertising!

However, considering how busy Cao Zhuyu was, Shen Wuming did not refuse.

"Then it's settled."

…

The production was left to Cao Juyu, so the promotion had to be done by Shen Wuming himself.

His name... is of course of no use. After all, he is quite well-known in the Mo family.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't know that the article he published in the imperial palace newspaper has been publicized everywhere by Chu Pingshan's conspicuous bag.

After thinking for a moment, he thought of his wife, Chu Youyi.

This is the most talented woman in Zhongshan, especially in the aristocratic circle, she is very valuable.

And I often participate in poetry gatherings, and I just recommend it by the way...

Shen Wuming told Chu Youyi his thoughts, but Chu Youyi did not refuse.

"But I have no inspiration recently. Husband, you have to help me write some more poems."

Chu Youyi hugged Shen Wuming's arm and said coquettishly.

Recently, she participated in poetry gatherings. In addition to presenting her own works, she also shared Shen Wuming's poems with the little sisters.

Feeling the admiration and envy in the eyes of those little sisters, Chu Youyi was extremely satisfied.

Even if they knew that they were just shocked by Shen Wuming's talent, in other words...

Aren’t you also envious of having such a powerful husband?

"You are negotiating terms with me." Shen Wuming glanced at her.

"Then don't talk about conditions." Chu Youyi crossed her arms and squeezed out a fiery arc.

"I won't help you with what you just said. Now you can help me write a few poems. This doesn't count as negotiating terms, right?"

Shen Wuming was silent. Why didn't he realize before that this dignified and elegant lady of his was still very smart?

"You just want to tell me whether to write or not? Husband~" Although Chu Youyi was furious, her voice was as hoarse as ever.

Tactful and gentle, people can't help themselves.

Shen Wuming finally succumbed to her gentle attack and wrote several poems about beauty.

Especially the last one, which was written by the poet Li Bai, which immediately made Chu Youyi bow down and offer her sweet lips.

Chu Youyi's cherry lips were bright red, she closed her beautiful eyes, biting Shen Wuming's lips tightly, almost biting them to bleed.

She was like this every time.

On the surface, she was a dignified lady, but in fact, she was extremely crazy. She hugged Shen Wuming tightly with both hands, almost rubbing him into her body.

Shen Wuming also enjoyed it, gently stroking her exaggerated waist and hip curves.

…

The autumn examination is coming soon, and the whole Zhongshan County is decorated with lights and colors, and the number of people is increasing.

The inns in the city are almost full.

Many brothels, Chuguan, carved boats and painted boats are crowded with people.

The autumn examination is just a folk name. The official name is called the provincial examination. Each state holds the examination at the same time, and the state ranking is based on the state.

There are examination halls in every county town, with a large number of people. Those who pass the exam are usually called Juren.

The reason why I say usually is because this is the name of the Jinshi exam.

If it is Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingsuan, etc., but the scale of these is far less than that of the Jinshi exam.

After passing the provincial exam, that is, Juren, even if you do not continue to participate in the provincial exam and the palace exam, you can still serve as an official.

So for this reason, during the autumn exam, many young ladies from noble families began to look for candidates.

Making a marriage contract when they did not pass the exam is equivalent to an alternative investment.

But after all, they are literati and scholars, and they will not openly offer a price.

Instead, they hold various literary gatherings and poetry gatherings, inviting young ladies from noble families and candidates for the autumn exam to recite poems and write essays together.

There are also candidates of the same year who take this opportunity to get to know each other.

In the future, they will be officials, and they can help each other.

As the first talented woman in Zhongshan, Chu Youyi is naturally qualified to hold such a poetry gathering. After handing out the invitation, many people came to hear the news.
