Chapter 55 Lan Wanru: I can earn five thousand taels a day by selling Sushan

Feng Xiao smiled slightly and slowly straightened his back, but did not take the money from Lan Wanru's hand.

"Miss Lan, I'm sorry."

Lan Wanru's face suddenly darkened, and she spoke quickly and sternly, with eyes that were murderous: "Feng Xiao, what do you mean?"

"The secret recipe of the pastry is five hundred taels of silver. Everyone knows that the Sushan Mountain in Zhiwei Pavilion is a mountain of gold at this moment. You actually only want to send me away with two hundred taels?" Feng Xiao smiled disdainfully, looking like a complete scoundrel.

.

"When people's hearts are weak, snakes swallow elephants. Do you know how to write the word "death"?" Lan Wanru laughed out loud, "Ever since you accepted my five hundred taels of silver, we are people in the same boat. If Lan Yunyi knew,

You sold the secret recipe, and if she can’t deal with me, can’t she deal with you?”

At this point, she paused, and then threatened: "Do you think seven hundred taels can buy you a few lives? You don't want your child to die in prison for no reason, right?"

"Lan Yunyi doesn't dare to kill me, but if you don't have Sushan's secret recipe, you will be taken advantage of by the people in the gambling shop." Feng Xiao crossed his arms on his chest, as if he was here with an old god.

"My wife and Lan Yunyi have a good relationship. Even if she sold the secret recipe of cakes before, she won't care if she uses Sushan to make money now. But you owe money to the gambling house, and the business of the shop is not good. If you don't get it,

If you find the secret recipe of Sushan, the people from the casino will come to you tomorrow, right?"

"you--!!"

Feng Xiao's words clearly stung Lan Wanru's pain. She ground her back molars, but there was a bit of fear in her eyes.

If people in the capital find out that she has close contacts with people in the casino and owes money, and her reputation is completely ruined, how can she marry into a good family in the future?

Thinking of this, Lan Wanru took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said with a helpless expression: "Tell me, don't you just want money? Just tell me how much money you want."

"One thousand taels." Feng Xiao smiled proudly, stretched out his palm with one broken finger, and made a nondescript "one" sign.

"One thousand taels??" Qiaodie and Lan Wanru took a breath, both shocked by the numbers in front of them.

"Feng Xiao! Why don't you go and grab it!" Qiaodie suddenly raised her voice.

"This is already a small amount. The secret recipe of the pastry was sold for five hundred taels. You don't have to look at how profitable Sushan is. Lan Yunyi's shop made almost two taels on the first night it opened.

There are a thousand taels!" Feng Xiao shrugged and broke the news to the two of them.

"If you buy the secret recipe, how are your appearance, identity, and intelligence worse than Lan Yunyi? Do you think you can't beat her? Can't you make a thousand taels in three days?" Feng Xiao was persuasive.

"If you earn back a thousand taels, you can do whatever you want with the remaining money. By then, our Miss Lan will be as rich as anyone in the country, and we will all be relying on you!"

Lan Wanru listened silently, slowly clenching her fists, already lost in thought.

Feng Xiao's words were very tempting. When she thought about the scenario where she could earn two thousand taels a day in the future, it was undeniable that her heart was moved.

"Okay! I'll sell it!" Lan Wanru responded crisply, with some determination in her eyes.

"Miss..." Qiaodie tugged on her sleeve with some embarrassment, wanting her to think more carefully.

But Lan Wanru put her hand away and said in a deep voice to Feng Xiao: "One thousand taels, that's fine. I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow, but you have to make sure there's nothing wrong with Sushan's secret recipe."

"Okay!" Feng Xiao agreed with a smile, "I like to discuss business with people who are cheerful."

"Lan Yunyi made two thousand taels of silver in one day with Sushan's secret recipe. You are both talented and beautiful, and you come from a noble family. You will definitely be able to do it in the future!" He said a few nice words sweetly.

"You are right. Lan Yunyi is still too stupid. If I were to sell it, I could earn back five thousand taels of silver in one day!"

Lan Wanru nodded helpfully. She narrowed her eyes slightly and could imagine her bright future.

After Feng Xiao left, Qiaodie hurriedly spoke to Lan Wanru: "Miss! He is asking for a thousand taels at once, how can we agree to him! We still owe the gambling house,

Where did the money come from?”

Lan Wanru seemed to have fallen into some kind of fanatical fantasy. She patted Qiaodie's hand and said to her: "Don't we still have access to the gambling house? We first misappropriated Lan Yunyi's dowry, and then asked the gambler

I’ll borrow five hundred taels from the people in the workshop, and I’ll pay them back after I make money.”

"But..." Qiaodie frowned, feeling like she was about to cry.

"Nothing!" Lan Wanru interrupted her.

"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den? This Sushan is obviously a profitable business. You haven't seen the world, and your eyesight is still too shallow. Even if they make compound profits, it doesn't cost much at all. I sell Sushan.

I can earn five thousand taels a day and I can pay it back right away!"

What was echoing in Lan Wanru's mind was Feng Xiao's praise. When she thought that she could earn five thousand taels in one day and be connected to the royal family, she seemed to be possessed.

"As for Feng Xiao - when we get the favor of Concubine Zhen, I will teach him a lesson. I will take back the money and let him live to earn money!"

"Also, doesn't Lan Yunyi want to get in touch with the Duke's government? Qiaodie, starting tomorrow, you will spread the fortune telling for Lan Yunyi by your second brother without leaving a trace. It's best to let everyone in the capital know about it.

, remember not to reveal your identity."

"The old lady of the Duke's Mansion is organizing a birthday banquet. Will she endure an unlucky person with bad luck and low status to plan her birthday banquet? Only I can do it!"

Lan Wanru said with a loud voice.

————————

The next morning when it was dark, Lan Wanru asked Qiaodie to send some money.

I don’t know what she promised the gambling house, but the gambling house actually collected a thousand taels of silver for her.

You must know that the annual salary of officials in Beijing is only one hundred taels. However, ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live in food and clothing for a year.

The two thousand taels that Lan Yunyi earned when she opened her business was just an accident.

After all, I don’t know who took advantage of him, but he bought a hundred copies of Sushan at once and gave him a thousand taels of silver.

Lan Yunyi smiled almost from ear to ear at the stack of thick banknotes. She looked at it, touched it again and again, and couldn't put it down.

She gave two hundred taels of it to Huang Yue'e's family. After all, Feng Xiao had made great contributions there. In the future, she would be busy with the birthday party and asked Huang Yue'e to take care of the business of the shop.

He also gave his uncle a hundred taels of silver to buy wine as a reward for teaching him how to make cakes.

I also gave my senior brother two hundred taels to repair the Taoist temple, and then asked him to hire martial arts men to guard Qingyun Temple day and night.

After all, the ice cave in the back mountain is very popular right now. If someone with ulterior motives discovers it, it will be all over.

The remaining five hundred taels of silver, plus the two thousand taels she earned on the opening day, will be used to buy a village, purchase property, and open a rice shop.

Because according to the memory of her previous life, this winter was an extremely rare winter with frequent floods and food was almost completely destroyed due to lack of proper management.

And after this winter, there will be famine in the spring.

After the famine in the previous life, almost all the people were starved to death. Most of the people in the capital and the refugees in the suburbs almost all starved to death.
