Chen Erniu and Chen Sandan looked at the odd way Chen Jianshe was acting, but they didn't say much and obediently left.
Once there were no "outsiders" left in the courtyard, Chen Jianshe finally spoke excitedly, "Brother Leng, are you saying Sister-in-law is making brown sugar?"
Leng Yuan nodded.
Chen Jianshe was dumbfounded.
"Th-these corn stalks can be made into brown sugar?"
After saying that, he turned and dashed toward the courtyard gate.
Leng Yuan couldn't help but call out, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy corn stalks."
'This stuff can be made into sugar. If I buy all the corn stalks, we'll have more brown sugar than we can eat.'
The more he thought about it, the happier he became.
Leng Yuan looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Not all corn stalks can be used to make brown sugar. The ones that can are pretty much all here."
According to Gu Jiaojiao's instructions, the corn stalks needed to be thick and juicy, otherwise the sugar yield would be too low.
