306 Distributing Sugarcane
Early the next morning, those who wanted to buy the Wang Family’s grain seeds arrived one after another.
At this moment, Wang Dalang had already transported everything to the courtyard under Old Madam Wang’s arrangements.
Even Wang Chuanfu was stunned when he woke up and saw the pile of things.
In just one night, what exactly happened?
It seemed like something great had happened while he was sleeping.
Facing the villagers who had come in the past, Old Madam Wang said, “I’ve already briefed my eldest grandson on the method of distribution and sales. You can collect and buy according to your family’s situation. I still have something on, so I won’t stay here to accompany everyone.”
The people who came were either on the same level as Old Madam Wang or were simply juniors. Of course, they did not dare to say anything to Old Madam Wang.
“Auntie Wang, go ahead. We know what to do.”
Old Madam Wang had already told Wang Dalang last night about the approximate price of those things, the name of each one, and their uses.
Wang Dalang was already sleepy at that time and only remembered some things in a daze. However, as long as he made one mistake, Old Madam Wang asked him to memorize it again.
Wang Dalang actually remembered everything as he worked and dealt with Old Madam Wang’s inspection.
Old Madam Wang greeted the crowd casually and brought Little Ah Yu to Great River Village.
Only Wang Chuanfu and his wife were left, as well as the even more confused villagers.
Fortunately, Wang Dalang had already been devilishly trained by Old Madam Wang. He immediately braced himself and walked past the places where different types of crops were piled up. As he walked, he introduced, “This thing is called red beans. We don’t produce much here. There’s a variety in the eastern neighboring county. This kind of bean is usually used...”
After a while, he finished introducing all 19 types.
Finally, there were just the sugarcane sprouts left. Someone could not help but ask, “Dalang, what is this?”
Wang Dalang did not answer their question. Instead, he moved out another basket from the granary.
There was sugarcane inside, which was edible.
Wang Dalang distributed one to each person, and Wang Chuanfu and his wife also took one.
Wang Chuanfu’s head was filled with question marks. “???”
When did their granary have these things?
No, what exactly happened in one night?
Why did he not understand?
Wang Dalang answered everyone’s doubts, “This was sent by a distant relative of our family. He said that you can use this to make sugar. You can try it and see how it tastes.”
When everyone heard that it could be made into sugar, they couldn’t care less about Wang Dalang’s words and hurriedly took a bite.
Someone bit through it and chewed, thinking of swallowing it.
“This thing is so sweet! It’s just a little too tough, and I don’t think I can swallow it.”
Wang Dalang: “...”
You bit the entire thing and even chewed on the bark. It was impossible not to exhaust your teeth.
He did not expect someone to be even more dumb than him.
Wang Dalang looked embarrassed and demonstrated to them how to remove the sugarcane skin.
Then, he bit down and spat out the little dregs in his mouth.
Only then did he say, “This thing needs to be skinned. You also can’t swallow the dregs inside. You have to spit them out.”
Everyone mimicked his actions. As soon as they bit down, their eyes widened.
“This thing is really sweet!”
“It’s even sweeter than sugar water!”
“It’s like the mature fruits I usually eat.”
“You don’t say. After taking two bites of this thing, I feel like I’ve drunk two big bowls of sugar water. I didn’t eat when I came just now and my stomach was growling. I feel much better now.”
“Could this be some kind of medicinal herb?”
Wang Dalang smiled and said, “This thing is called sugarcane. It’s very good for making sugar. My Grandma said that if everyone grows this thing well in the future, she will teach everyone how to make it into sugar.”
Everyone was shocked. Making sugar? Wouldn’t they be able to sell that for money?
Wang Chuanfu was more shocked than everyone else.
Sugar making? Their family even knew this kind of craft?!!
