After returning home, Li Yuyan angrily packed up the supplies Lin Xiao had purchased.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was raising funds for revenge by making and selling salt.
How could this woman casually tell others how to make salt?!
A woman's sixth sense is extremely strong.
Lin Xiao immediately saw something was wrong with Li Yuyan.
"Yu Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I don't understand, why do you want to tell them how to make salt?"
Li Yuyan was furious and asked straight to the point.
"Hey, you misunderstood me about this."
"Misunderstand?"
"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded and explained with a smile, "I only told them the first step. The salt made with this step is not only bitter and astringent, but also poisonous and cannot be eaten."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Li Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed at the barrel and asked:
"Then what is this bucket used for?"
"Starting from tomorrow, I will collect salt from the whole village, petrify it, and fry it. One pound of salt will cost three copper plates. Then, I will put all the salt into this big wooden barrel. What are you doing in the following process?
knew."
"In this way, the amount of salt we can produce will be more, right?"
Li Yuyan admired the little girl in front of her who was pretending to be a man.
How on earth did she come up with this weird idea?
It may seem like you are making less money, but in fact, if you increase the amount, you will make more money.
"Yu Yan, I just said that you are smart and you can tell with just one point. By the way, what does Brother Zhou say?"
Li Yuyan took out half of the money from the back room: "Here, this is what he asked me to give you."
Lin Xiao glanced at the half-money money and said calmly: "Sure enough, if you want to make money quickly, you still have to expand production first."
Next, Li Yuyan and Lin Xiao started modifying the newly purchased large wooden barrel.
After half an hour of busy work, the big wooden barrel was completely transformed.
When Lin Xiao was about to take out the cotton cloth to wrap the charcoal, she realized that she had forgotten to buy the cloth!
"Damn it, I have to get up early again tomorrow, and I forgot to buy some cloth."
"I'll go shopping tomorrow. I'm a quick walker. I'll be back in less than half a day. You can have a good rest at home."
"Yeah, that's okay, thank you for your hard work!"
After that, Lin Xiao yawned and went to the study to sleep.
She was really tired today.
However, what she didn't know was that when she fell asleep, everyone in the village was busy.
Lin Xiaowu and Mazi felt very sorry for taking so much money from Lin Xiao.
So he volunteered to deliver the maltose and candied haws that Lin Xiao bought to the villagers door to door. Along the way, he also told Lin Xiao about collecting salt.
A pound of petrochemical salt that is inedible can be sold for three copper coins. Isn't this the same as picking it up for free?
Although everyone doesn’t know what Lin Xiao’s use of collecting these inedible salts is.
But they still took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly went to the bottom of the abyss to pick up salt stones and take them home to melt the salt water and fry it.
Afraid of missing out on 100 million due to laziness!
Li Yuyan made breakfast at dawn and went to Jiuzhou Town with a basket.
Without Lin Xiao's company, he walked like the wind. When he arrived in Jiuzhou Town, his genius completely brightened.
He went to the cloth store without stopping to buy a few pieces of cotton cloth that Lin Xiao needed. When he passed by the grain and oil store, he was stopped by the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store.
"Oh, madam, I have found you. Didn't your head come?"
"Is something wrong?"
Li Yuyan looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face warily, wondering what he wanted to do!
"The salt you sent last time was sold out long ago. I don't know your names, let alone where you live. It's really difficult for me to ask you to bring more salt to sell."
It turned out that he was here to ask for goods.
Li Yuyan suddenly understood something in his heart.
He asked calmly: "How much salt do you need?"
The shopkeeper immediately held out five fingers: "Fifty pounds, do you have it?"
Fifty pounds of salt, that's twenty-five taels of silver.
Li Yuyan, who was eager to make money and take revenge, agreed without thinking:
"Okay, I'll deliver it to your door personally in seven days!"
After Li Yuyan left, while the shopkeeper was calculating the price of the newly arrived salt, several soldiers in armor broke in.
"You guys, I wonder if you have any instructions for visiting this store?"
The shopkeeper hurried forward to greet them and bowed to the soldiers cautiously, fearing that he would offend the military masters by being negligent.
That is a serious crime, and if you don’t do it, your life may be at risk!
"Is this salt from your store?"
One of the leading soldiers threw a cloth bag to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper arched his back, carefully opened the cloth bag, took a few grains of salt from the inside, put it into his mouth, tasted it, and said with fear:
"Returning to Master Jun, this salt is indeed from the villain's shop. I wonder if there is something wrong with this salt?"
At this time, the shopkeeper had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan's ancestors in his heart.
He regretted extremely why he accepted the salt made by Lin Xiao in the first place!
Can ordinary people make salt?
It's okay now. There must be something wrong with the salt. Otherwise, how could the military men come to ask questions in person?!
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper immediately knelt down with a plop, hugged the leading soldier's calf and cried with tears and runny nose:
"Master Jun, have mercy on me! This salt is indeed sold from a small shop, but these salts are not made by villains, but by a farmer who looks like a scholar. He sells them to villains at low prices.
, the villain was temporarily blinded by lard, and then... Master, please spare my life!"
When the leading soldier heard the shopkeeper's cry, he knew something in his mind. He pulled the shopkeeper up and said with a smile:
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with the salt. I just thought the salt was good and wanted to come over and buy more!"
"Ah...that's it..."
The shopkeeper was stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"It turns out it was a misunderstanding. This salt, they will send another fifty kilograms of this salt in seven days. At that time, can I give it to you personally, Master Jun?"
"Fifty pounds of salt can be made in seven days?"
The leading soldier muttered to himself.
"Well, that's what the scholar's wife said."
"...Okay, after seven days, you take fifty pounds of salt and the delivery person to Jiuzhou Villa. Your reward will be inevitable!"
"yes!"
As soon as the shopkeeper heard the words "Jiuzhou Bieyuan", his attitude immediately became more respectful and humble.
Jiuzhou Villa, he knew, this was a villa in the suburbs, and its owner was a great general, a real big shot!
After leaving the grain and oil store, the leading soldier immediately walked to a carriage and told the people inside everything he had just learned about.
After a long while, a nice male voice came from inside: "You are not afraid of being late if you have a good meal, so just wait a little longer!"
It was just after noon when Li Yuyan returned home. The table in the back room was filled with inedible salt collected from the villagers.
Lin Xiao was cooking lunch in the kitchen. She couldn't use the stove, and her face was covered in black ash. The kitchen was also so smoky that she couldn't find a place to move!
"Yu Yan, you are finally back!"
The book continues from the previous chapter.
The man did not listen to the advice and had to go out for a walk on a rainy day. Later, something strange happened to him.
He saw a girl in white clothes holding a red umbrella walking back and forth on the roadside alone and barefoot, as if waiting for someone.
The red umbrella covered the girl's face, so the man couldn't see clearly what the girl looked like, but he could vaguely see that the girl's exposed arms and legs were extremely pale.
Yes, pale, so white that there is no blood. A man has never seen a woman with such skin.
However, he still walked over curiously, wanting to see what the girl looked like.
