Chapter 176: That Serious?

The wheat spread out, and a cloth was used to cover the sieve to prevent light from coming in.

Finally, she placed the sieve covered with a cloth in a cool and ventilated place, sprinkled water two or three times a day, and waited for the seeds to germinate.

Xue Sifu watched without blinking the entire time.

Xue Wufu was also curious about Sifu’s reaction. He ran over like a monkey and bent over as he watched Jiang Yue and Xue Yan carry on with the business as usual.

“Sifu, what’s there to see?” Xue Wufu asked after reading it.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also looked at Xue Sifu. To be honest, they didn’t expect Sifu to follow them around. Was he trying to learn the steps and open up a business with this?

Xue Sifu looked at the sieve that had been placed in a cool and ventilated place before smiling, “I’m not going to be a waiter anymore. Of course, that means I’ll just have to find something to do. Since Jiang Yue can make caramel candy, I was thinking if I should open a business for that.”

“Alright!” Xue Wufu agreed without thinking, thinking that he could make money if he helped.

Jiang Yue didn’t mind. If Xue Sifu really wanted to make caramel candy to sell, she would also support it.

“Sifu, there’s a limit to opening this business,” Xue Yan said.

“What?”

“Because there are still many people in the Imperial Court who are greedy, the use of grain is very strict. For those who have land, at least half of their fields are used to grow grain, and they are not allowed to grow anything else. Making this requires a lot of grain, just like making wine. The government will control your production. If you want to do this business, it won’t be a problem to buy glutinous rice to make caramel candy, but if you buy more than sixty kilograms, without the permission of the government, they will arrest you, beat you up, exile you, or kill you.”

He had been part of the regent in his previous life and was in charge of the entire Da Ling, so he knew all this like the back of his hand.

Even in troubled times, when people would go hungry and food was even more scarce. The Imperial Court intervened in these matters to reduce the waste of food and to maintain the stability of Da Ling.

Jiang Yue felt that the Imperial Court’s intervention was not unreasonable. After all, one would not starve to death even if one did not eat or drink wine. However, one would starve to death if they did not have grain.

Moreover, in this world, the production of food was not particularly high, so food was scarce.

It was just that some people didn’t care and still wanted more.

If there was a year of disaster, there would definitely come a time of famine and people would starve.

Xue Wufu was not as calm as Jiang Yue, and he was immediately shocked. “Is it really that serious? Then Sifu, it’s better if you don’t go into this business. Our family hasn’t gotten permission from the government.”

Xue Sifu was much braver than Xue Wufu and didn’t mind at all. “What are you afraid of? Didn’t Xue Yan say that only the government would only care if its sixty kilograms or more? Then I’ll just buy fifty-nine kilograms of glutinous rice to make caramels. Including the amount of wheat and rice flour used, it won’t exceed sixty kilograms. I’ll just earn whatever I can. I don’t know what to do now either. I just want to earn some money and do something. I’ll just treat it as practice.”

Xue Yan had known Sifu for so many years in his previous life, so he knew him very well. He expected this reaction, so he was not surprised.

Jiang Yue was not surprised. A quick-witted and opinionated person would usually have the courage to try even if there were difficulties.

However, to be able to make such a decisive decision without being affected by others was not only his own opinion and courage, but also a kind of courage that could make or break someone.
