In this world, the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on August 15th every year, is still one of the most important festivals.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which means reunion, is a relatively sensitive day for Li Yi, and it can easily bring back some dusty memories in his heart.
But now, he has learned to hide those emotions deep in his heart and will not be easily seen by others.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival that Xiaohuan has been waiting for for a long time. For a simple-minded girl, she has been looking forward to every festival a long time ago. After Li Yi taught him arithmetic, the little maid would count the days with her fingers.
Lao Fang and the others did not go out to sell candied haws on the street today. It was a festive holiday and they had to take a break to relax.
In the past, when my family's living conditions were poor, during festivals, I would eat porridge with an extra handful of rice grains in it, which was considered a festival.
Now that I have a lot of money coming in every day, I can eat rice and meat every day without any psychological pressure.
The economic foundation determines the superstructure. When the family situation is better, the pursuit will naturally be higher. When Lao Fang and the others came back from outside yesterday, they had already bought wine and meat and other things to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
Li Yi looked at the things they sent yesterday and actually saw moon cakes inside. They said they were moon cakes, but they were actually dough with fillings. After picking one up and tasting it, Li Yi suddenly missed the taste of the five-nut moon cakes in later generations.

Walking with Xiaohuan on the broad streets of Qing'an Fucheng, the little maid blinked her big curious eyes and looked around, feeling that everything she saw was so strange, but Li Yi was thinking about other things in his heart.
In the past few days, he has exhausted various methods to improve the device for distilling alcohol. He has also made great improvements to the formula of toilet water, and it will be officially produced soon.
Toilet water is different from candied haws. Li Yi originally positioned it as a high-end route. After all, the cost of distilling alcohol is not small. It takes several jars of wine to make a small bottle of toilet water. If the price is set at a low price, Li Yi will lose money if he does not sell a few bottles.
died.
And this brings up a new problem.
Since it was decided that toilet water would present a high-class image from the beginning, it naturally could not be like selling candied haws on a stick. Li Yi imagined that Lao Fang was selling two bottles of toilet water on the street, grabbing a random passerby.
He said mysteriously: "Brother, do you need Ruyilu?"
This situation, no matter how you think about it, it feels like selling pornographic movies or Indian magic oil.
Obviously, roadside stalls are far from being able to meet the requirements of professional people. If you want to continue the toilet water business for a long time, you may also need to add spirits, perfumes and soaps in the future. It is essential to have your own shop in the city.
Less.
However, renting a store in the prosperous area of Qing'an City is no less difficult than opening a store in a commercial street in a first-tier city in later generations. The rent for just one year is a sky-high price for some people.
Li Yi specifically inquired about it, and found that even if the shop was not built in the most prosperous place in the city, the annual rent would be seventy or eighty taels of silver. A slight renovation of the shop would cost one hundred taels of silver.
This is a very embarrassing thing for the current Li Yi.
His entire net worth is only one hundred taels of silver. If he rents the shop, he won't have the money to buy wine and materials needed to make toilet water. But if he doesn't rent------without the shop, how will he sell toilet water?
Go down?
Lao Fang and the others would naturally not take these issues into consideration. If Li Yi didn't tell them, he would probably sell toilet water like candied haws. In his eyes, the two are both profitable treasures, and there is no big difference.
I can't rush the money matter right now. I'll figure out a solution after I get back.
Xiao Huan hugged two pieces of cloth that her uncle had bought for her to make new clothes, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and her little face was full of joy.
In the past, the family had no spare money to buy cloth, so most of the clothes Xiao Huan wore were worn by Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi is extremely tall, and the small ring on her clothes cannot be worn at all. Liu Ruyi is a little taller than the small ring, but it is not much different. Her clothes can be worn with a slight modification of the small ring.
Except for those rich families, most ordinary families are like this too. They wear the same clothes in turn. Li Yi also saw that Xiaohuan's clothes were patched, so he specially brought her out today.
At this time, there were still no ready-to-wear shops. If you wanted to make clothes, you had to either buy a few pieces of cloth and make them yourself, or find a tailor to make them. Of course, the price of the latter would be higher. Generally, poor people would choose the second choice to make clothes.
a method.
After learning these things, Li Yi was a little tempted.
If I open a clothing store here, will I make a lot of money?
Of course, he can only think about it now. He has many things to do at the moment and has no energy to take care of more things.
When it was almost noon, Xiaohuan and I randomly found a roadside stall to eat something. Not to mention, although the food on the roadside didn't look that high-end, it actually tasted pretty good and the price was very cheap.
.
Now, unlike in later generations, you don’t have to worry about gutter oil or anything like that when eating at a roadside stall. You can feel absolutely safe when eating. I don’t know if it was because of his appearance, but Li Yi found that the noodles the stall owner gave him were better than those in Xiaohuan’s bowl.
There are many guests nearby.
This made him feel a little relieved. After all, he had never thought that one day he would be able to take advantage of his appearance.
After eating, we walked around the street for a while and bought some things. Because it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many more people on the street than usual.
I have to say that the quality of beauties in ancient times was really good. In this era when double eyelids, noses, and chins cannot be raised, all the beauties were all natural, with minimal make-up. Li Yi saw a lot of them along the way.
If it were placed in future generations, he would be able to support a costume drama on his own without changing clothes.
Of course, our little maid can be considered a little beauty. Although she is a little younger and has a little baby fat on her face, she will definitely be a beauty again after a few years of growth.
Li Yi's resistance to beautiful women is much stronger now than in his previous life.
The three beauties in his family were dazzled in front of his eyes all day long, which directly led to Li Yi's immunity to beauties greatly improved. Even if he met a beautiful one on the street, he would just glance at it with admiration, and then look at...
…Other beauties…
When passing somewhere on the street, he saw a group of people gathered around. They were noisy and didn't know what they were doing. Li Yi had no intention of watching the excitement, but Xiaohuan glanced in that direction curiously, but when he saw Li Yi
He walked straight past, quickly looked away, and followed quickly.
"I'm actually willing to take out one hundred taels of silver..."
"This is a bit too generous..."
…
…
When passing by the edge of the crowd, two voices of conversation reached his ears, causing Li Yi to stop suddenly in his steps.
[PS: After class in the evening, I have been typing until now. There is still some time before twelve o'clock, so why not talk about something else.
First, let’s talk about the update situation. Because the author is an engineering graduate student, he is still a bit busy in class. He doesn’t have much time left for coding, and he wants to ensure the quality of coding, so he can only update as much as possible, of course for the sake of the book’s performance.
, I will still try my best to update more, and try my best to update twice a day under the premise of continuous updates.
In addition, the results of this book are actually very average among the new books of the same period as Qidian. But surprisingly, the results on a certain artifact are far behind Qidian. As the author, I hope those readers can come to Qidian to support
All it takes is one collection...
Although this is my first time writing in the history genre, I have been thinking about this book for a long time before I wrote it. The reason why I chose to make it abstract... As everyone knows about engineering students, they are still very knowledgeable in history, but if the previous
If these dozens of chapters have attracted you, then the rest of it should not be too bad, because this style will continue.
I wanted to say something else, but the lights in the dormitory are about to go out, so let’s stop here...]
