Old man Xu shook his head and put aside this emotion.
He went over Sun Tzu's words in detail again.
The recipe is important, and of course it cannot be seen by outsiders. They have to do it themselves.
No one in the family is literate, so we can't delay Rokuro's study. Since Siya is literate and can understand prescriptions, it's okay to leave this matter to her.
Another thing is that this recipe was brought out by Liulang, and Siya is Liulang's biological sister, so he can rest assured.
After thinking about it, Mr. Xu nodded, "Okay! Let your fourth sister go to the city tomorrow, and I will go with her."
Si Ya is a little girl, and it is not reassuring to go to the city. The men in the family have to work, so you can't ask for a day off for this matter. Saburo is also young and can't afford the work, so it would be better for him to go with him.
After that, he thought of something again and said: "What do you need to make toothpaste? Is it expensive to buy? If the things you need are expensive, grandpa is not afraid of not having enough money, but if we want to sell this toothpaste, how should we sell it? It can't be done
Why don't we just go to the market and occupy a stall to sell it? Other people's tooth powder is sold in tooth brushing shops. If we just sell it in the market, no one will believe us, right? If it doesn't sell well, it will be a huge loss.
.”
He still has dozens of taels of silver in his hand, which is enough to make the capital. The toothpaste cannot be made from ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but if he doesn't make money by investing in it, he will lose money and he won't be able to wear his clothes.
Old man Xu lifted up the strap of his backpack and turned around to see his granddaughter standing still. Following her line of sight, there was a stall selling wontons over there.
Xu Dajun made a gesture.
You can buy everything in the market, mainly in the bustling streets. Old man Xu was also a little frightened, so he felt more comfortable entering this market full of shouts and cries.
With the excitement of being able to go shopping in the city, Xu Yinyin fell asleep completely in the middle of the night. It felt like she had not slept for long before she had to get up.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Come on, Siya, grandpa will take you to cut some pork. Let's go home and make dumplings to eat at night!"
The coarse salt we usually eat costs 20 cents per catty. This green salt is more expensive, not much different from the fine salt eaten by rich people, which costs 35 cents per catty.
Xu Dajun left the small room, and Xu Yinyin, who was busy setting the table and dishes outside, cast an inquiring look.
When buying something, ask the price first. If you don't buy something, you will suffer a loss, and if you don't buy it, you won't be cheated.
If it weren't for Sunzi Liulang's prescription, Old Man Xu would have almost thought that Si Ya was messing around.
Suddenly, Old Man Xu had an expression on his face: "As expected of my grandson, my grandson is awesome."
Previously, at school in the town, some of his classmates gave him rare things for washing his hair and bathing, as well as prescriptions that could make him money.
Xu Dajun wanted to go to school and had to leave early. They had a ride on the mule cart, so they might as well go early.
But he didn't understand it at first. Liulang's recipe was given to Siya, so he just listened to her and bought it.
The wontons that were just out of the pan were filled with thin skin and the clear soup base, paired with a handful of green chopped green onions, were steaming hot and made people salivate just looking at them.
After buying salt, I went to the grocery store to shop around and bought gypsum.
She reluctantly looked away and responded: "Okay, grandpa."
"I still have to go to the drug store to grab a few medicines and small clay pots."
If you haven’t eaten it before, how can you not feel greedy in your stomach?
They left early and arrived at the city gate. They waited for a short while before the city gate opened. They were at the front of the queue and entered the city quickly.
Xu Yinyin immediately smiled and said, "It's done!"
Oops, she will be able to go to the city tomorrow to take a look!
I immediately found a shop that sold salt.
Early in the morning, people are coming and going in the market, including women carrying baskets to buy vegetables, wealthy people leisurely looking for breakfast, wealthy families buying goods, etc., as well as vendors setting up stalls to sell food.
, it’s really a vivid and lively picture of a market.
The grandfather and grandson continued to buy and buy until the baskets were full.
It hurts.
Old Man Xu swallowed hard and said, "Siya, it's time to go home. It's getting late."
Then I realized, isn’t this using other people’s money as capital? You don’t have to pay a penny of your own money first?
Are my grandson’s classmates stupid and rich?
But Old Man Xu quickly threw this idea out of his head.
Old man Xu looked at the broken silver and wondered how his grandson was so good at making friends!
After asking about the prices of several stores, Mr. Xu had a rough idea. He went back to the second store and had another round of quarrels with the more talkative shopkeeper. In the end, he bought two kilograms and lost two cents.
Xu Dajun hurriedly calmed his grandfather and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, the things you need are not expensive and don't cost much. As for selling, I have more than 20 classmates at the moment! They are all from the city, and several of them have already made reservations with me.
Yeah, making money is no problem!”
Now that I have arrived at the school in Fucheng, it has only been a few days. I have made good friends again, and I didn’t even look at the toothpaste, so I was willing to make a reservation and pay the deposit.
Old man Xu had been to Fucheng a few times and was quite familiar with it, so he took Xu Yinyin straight to the market.
He also thought that he and Rokuro had eaten at the younger sister's house, and the boss had eaten once, but these people in the family had not eaten yet.
Xu Yinyin was fascinated for a moment. This ancient market was so lively. It was more interesting than going to the market as a child in her previous life!
Listening to Old Man Xu's question, she hurriedly came to her senses and reluctantly looked away from the excitement, "Grandpa, I need to buy green salt and raw gypsum first."
Old man Xu has heard of people gargling with salt, but he has never heard of people using gypsum.
Two kilograms of green salt, old man Xu was so embarrassed when he paid.
But Xu Yinyin is not annoyed at all and is eager to go shopping more.
"As for the capital, those of my classmates who have paid deposits for reservations can just use this money as capital first! Grandpa, keep your money and don't touch it."
"Si Ya, what should I buy first?"
…
In addition to utensils, the things in this bag include green salt, gypsum, and medicine for treating illnesses. He just heard about silver balm, honeysuckle, field seven, clove bark, angelica root, asarum, and old man Xu really can't think of the medicine he takes.
Can you make toothpaste? How can these things be made into toothpaste? What exactly is toothpaste?
Hearing the sound, Xu Yinyin came back to her senses and felt that she was getting more and more alive. A bowl of wontons would make her drool, but this original chicken soup wontons was so delicious!
With that said, he gave the broken silver he took from Xu Yinyin to Old Man Xu.
Not to mention Si Ya, he is an adult and he can barely move his legs just by looking at him.
"Siya, what else are you buying?" Old Man Xu carefully carried something that cost a hundred yuan and stood on the crowded street and asked again.
When Old Man Xu saw his granddaughter growing up to such an age, it was the first time he saw her looking so well-behaved. His heart felt inexplicably soft and he couldn't explain how he felt.
After entering the city gate, Old Man Xu and Xu Yinyin got out of the car, and the mule cart continued to the city to see Xu Dajun off to school.
This whole process took a lot of time and a lot of walking.
How can he say that his grandson's classmates are stupid and have too much money? This is not a good thing to say, because his grandson is great and everyone is willing to be friends with him.
It's not like Xu Yinyin is at an age where she can't walk and has to make a fuss when she sees something she wants to eat. Besides, she's not allowed to make a fuss.
But she didn't expect that Old Man Xu would want to cut the meat and make dumplings to eat, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
