With the money given by Ning Guang, Su Liu felt at ease. Although the two had agreed to get married in private, she was always wary because they were not married, but she still couldn't help but take out part of the money to buy it.
land.
She is not unkind. Ning Guang's name is written on the land deed, but it is her who will farm it. Anyway, it will belong to everyone in the future, so it can be regarded as a pre-marital investment.
After two days, the donkey-hide gelatin hanging in the well finally solidified, and the gelatin was truly released.
He took out the entire basin and carefully cut the rounded donkey-hide gelatin out of the basin. Su Liu carefully cut a finger-long piece with a knife and looked at it repeatedly against the sun.
The donkey-hide gelatin was amber in color, even and smooth in color, and smelled fragrant. She picked some of it with a knife and tasted it. It tasted sweet and salty, which was very different from what she had seen in her previous life. However, the formula seemed to be a little biased, so she could make some adjustments.
"It's done." Su Liu said excitedly.
Ning Guang took it and took a look, tasted it, and said: "It really tastes like donkey-hide gelatin." As he spoke, he took a deep look at Su Liu, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, but Su Liu was in a state of excitement and did not notice it.
arrive.
Chen and Su Xiao couldn't hide their excitement after hearing this, and said, "Is it really done?"
Seeing Su Liu nod, they all showed a relieved smile.
"Sister, are you going to send it to Baicao Hall now?" Su Xiao asked happily.
"There's no rush, let's dry it first while the weather is nice and sunny."
Su Liu shook his head and said, then took a big knife and cut it into small pieces of about ten centimeters long, four centimeters wide and one centimeter thick according to the instructions he saw in his previous life. He put them in a dry wooden box specially made by a carpenter and pressed them.
Lay flat and dry.
After another three days of this, when the donkey-hide gelatin was completely dry, I wrapped it in a white handkerchief and went to Baicao Hall in the town.
The waiter at Baicaotang already recognized her and invited her directly into the inner hall. After drinking half a cup of tea, shopkeeper Fu came.
"Shopkeeper Fu, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you in good health?" Su Liu stood up and saluted him.
"Thanks to the girl, the old man is still strong." Shopkeeper Fu chuckled. It's not surprising that so many people are polite. Su Liu knows etiquette so well. Shopkeeper Fu naturally said that he was happy, especially for an elderly person like him.
Then he asked, "Why did the girl come here today? The third master went to Qingji."
Su Liu sat down again with a smile and said, "Actually, I'm here to find the shopkeeper Fu."
Shopkeeper Fu was a little surprised and said oh.
Su Liu then took out the handkerchief from the basket on the side, opened the things wrapped inside, walked to Shopkeeper Fu, and said with a smile: "I want Shopkeeper Fu to check the authenticity of this donkey-hide gelatin for me. If
How much money is such a big piece worth?"
Shopkeeper Fu took it and looked down, his face changed slightly, he stood up, held a corner of the donkey-hide gelatin with the handkerchief and looked at the light, then picked a little bit to taste, his eyes showed surprise, and said: "Girl, if you don't
Urgent, let me ask Dr. Cai to take a look at it."
Su Liu was naturally not in a hurry. He said casually, and shopkeeper Fu walked out in a hurry.
Su Liu himself knew that even though the quality of the donkey-hide gelatin was not particularly high-quality, it was still a real material and would always have some medicinal properties, so he sat down and drank tea in an orderly manner while waiting.
After another cup of tea, shopkeeper Fu came back, followed by Song Fei.
Su Liu was stunned, then smiled hurriedly and stepped forward to greet each other.
"I wonder where the donkey-hide gelatin came from, girl?" Shopkeeper Fu asked again.
Su Liu hurriedly asked: "But what's the problem?" She was not afraid that others would replace her donkey-hide gelatin, but it was her first time to do it and she didn't understand medical science, so she was afraid that there was something wrong with it.
"Donkey-hide gelatin is real donkey-hide gelatin, but it looks like it has just been made, and the technique is not particularly mature. So I just asked the girl where she got it from?" Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile.
Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but he answered the question incorrectly: "Shopkeeper Yifu, how is the quality of this piece of donkey-hide gelatin compared to the one taken back by Baicaotang? How much silver can it be worth if sold in Baicaotang?"
Shopkeeper Fu glanced at Song Fei, saw him nodding, and said: "The quality is good, but it is a little worse than that of Renjitang, but it does not affect the medicinal use. If it is such a small piece, I guess
Don't sell it for three taels of silver. If the quality and purity were better, you could get it for five taels of silver."
Su Liu took a breath after hearing this, "Good boy, no wonder they say donkey-hide gelatin is a precious commodity. It is the same no matter in ancient times or modern times. Such a small piece only weighs about three taels and costs several taels of silver. This is worth a lot of money."
It cost a family a year to live on the farm.
However, Su Liu was very happy after being surprised. He quickly made a calculation in his mind. After excluding the cost, plus other rice wine, ice cream and other miscellaneous medicinal materials, such a pot of donkey-hide gelatin can earn hundreds of taels.
How can you not be happy?
Seeing Su Liu's face full of joy, Song Fei couldn't help but ask: "Sister Su is so happy, this donkey-hide gelatin..."
There was an inquiry in his words, but Su Liu concealed it at this time and said: "To be honest, I just made this donkey-hide gelatin these days. The gelatin was only produced two days ago. Now I have dried it and sent it to you."
The shopkeeper is helping me examine it."
"What? Is this donkey-hide gelatin made by a girl?" Shopkeeper Fu stood up in shock. Even Song Fei had a look of astonishment on his face.
This Su Liu is so unexpected. How could she, a little peasant girl, make something as valuable as donkey-hide gelatin?
Su Liu had already thought of his excuse and said: "I accidentally obtained an ancient prescription based on the formula mentioned above. As for where I got it from, I really have difficulties. I hope that Brother Song and Shopkeeper Fu won't embarrass themselves.
I."
Shopkeeper Fu heard the ancient prescription, his eyes immediately glanced, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Song Fei glanced at him slightly and had to hold it back.
"I wonder how much donkey-hide gelatin Sister Su made?" Song Fei asked with a smile.
"It's not much. I still have about ten yuan at home, which is about five pounds. I just tried to make it, and the technique is very unfamiliar. If I try to improve it next time, the color and purity should gradually catch up." Su
Liu Dao, one piece of donkey skin she bought was about four kilograms, and the amount of donkey hide gelatin produced was nearly five kilograms.
Song Fei nodded and said, "Can Sister Su sell this donkey-hide gelatin?"
Su Liu was a little embarrassed, but she still said generously: "Of course I want to sell it." She pursed her lips and then asked anxiously: "I wonder if Brother Song will accept the Baicaotang?"
"Now is the time when there is a shortage of donkey-hide gelatin, and Baicao Hall is also in short supply. Sister Su's donkey-hide gelatin can be regarded as dozing off and bumping into the pillow giver." Song Fei laughed and said: "How much donkey-hide gelatin does sister Su have? Baicao Hall has all the donkey-hide gelatin."
After receiving it, how about we calculate it as three taels of silver and one tael for the time being? If you make something with better color and purity in the future, you can calculate it differently."
Su Liu was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "Then I will send the donkey-hide gelatin from home tomorrow."
Song Fei nodded, waved his hand, and shopkeeper Fu personally sent it out, then turned back after a while.
"Sent away?"
"Yeah." Shopkeeper Fu scratched his head anxiously and said, "Third Master, Miss Su's donkey-hide gelatin recipe..."
If Baicaotang invested in buying that prescription, wouldn't you worry about not having donkey-hide gelatin in the future? This is a precious commodity, but you can make a lot of money.
Song Fei waved his hand, glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Shopkeeper Fu, if your family had such a money-making method, would you give it up easily?"
Shopkeeper Fu choked and was speechless.
No one is willing to do this. Take Renjitang as an example. They made their fortune by selling donkey-hide gelatin. Can you ask Renjitang to provide it?
Song Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, that girl is very smart, and she knows that Huai Bi is guilty."
Shopkeeper Fu choked up again, looked at his master, and suddenly relaxed. It seemed that Baicaotang would not be short of donkey-hide gelatin in the future.
Su Liu's whole body was trembling when she walked. She knew that donkey-hide gelatin was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive. It was really unexpected.
When she got home, Su Liu was still in a daze, but it was Su Xiao who gently patted her arm and she woke up.
"What's wrong?"
"I just asked you what's wrong, but you didn't even respond." Su Xiao tutted and said, "Sister, what's wrong with donkey-hide gelatin?"
"It was sold at a good price." Su Liu looked at Chen and the others and said a number with a smile.
"What, so expensive?" Mrs. Chen was so shocked that the embroidery shed in her hands fell down and she didn't even bother to pick it up. She said in disbelief: "I have only heard of one tael of donkey-hide gelatin and one tael of gold before. Is this really true?"
Su Liu pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Mom, this is still the original factory price!"
"What's the original price?"
Su Liu explained that what came from her was the first hand, and what Baicaotang sold was the second hand. Then the price would naturally increase. If there was a third hand, it would definitely continue to rise.
Mrs. Chen was stunned when she heard this, and Su Xiao called her ancestor.
"Is this thing that good?"
"Okay, let's try it and we'll find out." Su Liu smiled and said: "Anyway, when I cut it into pieces, there were a lot of corners left. Let's keep it for ourselves to make soup. It's still good stuff."
Now that she has earned money, Su Liu will naturally not treat herself badly. Otherwise, why do she work so hard? What's the point of being a miser? She won't be that kind of person. You have to spend the money you earn. That's the meaning of making money.
"Sister, since this donkey-hide gelatin is so precious and we've made it again, let's just make this donkey-hide gelatin." Su Xiao's eyes were bright, and she could almost see the money dazzling in front of her eyes.
"We need to make donkey-hide gelatin, and the bakery shop is our first business, so we can't just throw it away." Su Liu frowned for a moment and said, "It's not urgent, wait until I come up with a more detailed plan.
"
Now that there is a big business to collect interest, the stall may be turned into a bun shop, imitating those big stores, and creating a century-old store brand, so Su Liu does not intend to give up.
In fact, just doing the donkey-hide gelatin business can certainly support their lives now, but Su Liu's vision is not limited to that. Moreover, Huaibi is guilty. If she has no backer, she doesn't know how long the donkey-hide gelatin business can last. It seems that she needs to carefully plan.
