Chapter 176 Is It So Serious?

The wheat was spread, and the sieve was covered with a cloth to block the light.

Finally, put the cloth-covered sieve in a cool and ventilated place, sprinkle water two or three times a day, and wait for germination.

The whole process, Xue Sihu watched without blinking.

Seeing his fourth brother like this, Xue Wuhu was also curious, ran over like a monkey, and also bent over, watching Jiang Yue and Xue Yan fiddling without blinking.

After reading it, Xue Wuhu said, "Fourth brother, what's so good about this?"

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also looked at Xue Sihu. To be honest, they didn't expect that their fourth brother would stare and look like they were going to learn. Is this to do this business?

Xue Sihu glanced at the sieve that had been placed in a cool and ventilated place, and then smiled: "I'm not a junior, I must be looking for something to do, and Yuebao can toss out candy again, I just thought, I Let's see if you want to fiddle with the caramel business first."

"Okay!" Xue Wuhu agreed without even thinking about it, feeling that he could make money.

Jiang Yue didn't care. If Xue Sihu really wanted to do the caramel business, she would support it.

Only Xue Yan said, "Fourth brother, this business is limited."

Xue Sihu: "What restrictions?"

Xue Yan: "Because there are still many people who can't get enough to eat, the imperial court is very strict about the use of grain. For people who have fields, at least half of the fields must be grown for grain, and nothing else is allowed. To make this kind of sugar requires consumption A lot of food, just like brewing requires a lot of food, the government has to manage it. If you are in this business, it is no problem to buy a few dozen catties of glutinous rice to make caramel, but if it exceeds 100 catties, without the permission of the government, the government will If you are going to be arrested, there are board players, and there are exiles and beheadings, it depends on how the government punishes the crime.”

He had been the regent in his last life and had been in charge of the entire Great Ling, so he knew this better.

When not in troubled times, there are people who are hungry. In troubled times, food is even more scarce. The imperial court intervenes in these matters, one is to reduce the waste of food, and the other is to maintain the stability of Daling.

Jiang Yue heard it and felt that it was not unreasonable for the imperial court to intervene. After all, if you don't eat or drink sugar and wine, you won't starve to death.

What's more, in this world, the output of food is not particularly high, and there is always a shortage of food.

It's just that some people are not lacking.

If there is a disaster year, there will definitely be famine and starvation will die everywhere.

Xue Wuhu was not as calm as Jiang Yue, and was immediately taken aback: "So serious?! The fourth brother, fourth brother, you should stop doing this business, and our family has not received permission from the government."

Xue Sihu was much more courageous than Xue Wuhu, so he didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of, didn't Xiaoyan say that the government only cares about 100 catties, then I will buy 90 catties of glutinous rice and come back to make caramel, plus wheat and rice flour. The dosage is not more than 100 catties, so I can earn as much as I can, and now I don’t know what to do, I only know that I want to do some business, so I should practice my skills.”

Xue Yan has known this fourth brother for so many years in his last life, and he knows his fourth brother very well. Now that his fourth brother is like this, he also expected it, and naturally he is not surprised.

Jiang Yue was not surprised either. A person with a lively and assertive mind generally has some courage.

However, being able to make such a straightforward decision without being influenced at all is not only assertiveness and courage, but also a kind of courage. Xue Sihu is somewhat bold.
