Chapter 31 Borrowing the Momentum of Others

Hearing these brothers and sisters felt speechless, at that time they heard those coachmen say that the city was very safe, and they really believed it, it seems that those coachmen are used to it.

But they still have a question: "So if you have money, you can do whatever you want?"

The shopkeeper's expression froze when he heard this question, and he quickly explained: "Of course not, only those who are counted as fights and brawls will be sentenced like this, such as insulting women and stealing and abducting pits, there are various punishments. ”

"Forcibly marrying and abducting children is a serious crime, and after it is verified, no matter which family it is, they will be taken to explore all kinds of dangerous places, and very few can come back alive, and those who are secretly abducted are generally fined or assigned to do hard labor. ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, the brother and sister let out a long breath, but they still didn't want to be a person to be slaughtered, so after thanking the shopkeeper and saying goodbye, the three of them went back first.

After shopping for a long time, the items purchased by the brother and sister when they arrived home had been delivered, and they were being moved to the kitchen and stable under the command of the two cooks, and the living materials were all moved to the empty hall of the small building, with rice, oil, salt, various spices, and some equipment suitable for simple experiments.

After arranging everything, the siblings planned to use the small building as a laboratory, and the two discussed for a long time before finally finalizing a way to make money, which was to sell technology.

The two of them researched and sorted out what they knew in their brains, made a recipe for information, and sold it to the right people, such as the City Lord's Mansion, the Council Palace, or the auction house.

Yang Xin'an felt that it would be too troublesome to sell the products by himself, so it was better to sell the technology directly, and as for how to expand production, it was someone else's business.

The brother and sister also inquired about the research and development of new things, and the council and the city lord's mansion have issued policy support, as long as it is a new technology application, although the council and the city lord's mansion are not allowed to monopolize, they will give the developer a very generous compensation.

Due to the hot weather, the brother and sister decided to make some folding fans to sell, and called all the servants in the house, a total of eleven people, and the eight-character Hu coachman had already sent his eldest son Liu Er over.

Because it was just an employment relationship, Yang Xin'an did not go to the government office to witness the record, and arranged for three boys to cut bamboo skewers according to the samples that had been made, a cook drilled holes, three little girls polished burrs, a cook brushed paint to dry bamboo skewers, and Yang Xiaoxin and the elf drew patterns on white paper.

Yang Xin'an, who was idle, was studying how to make ice, because he didn't care when he went to school, and now he used it too little, he remembered that it was relying on saltpeter, but what kind of saltpeter was?

Saltpeter is also known as flame nitrate, potassium saltpeter, etc. Colorless, white or gray crystalline with a vitreous luster. It can be used to prepare malachite green glaze. It can also be used as a pigment for multicolor and pastel. One of the raw materials for the manufacture of gunpowder.

White powder, soluble in water.

Yang Xin'an looked at the large pile of ores on the table in front of him, sorted them first, scraped a little of each one, made a mark and began to try.

An hour later, he successfully made ice cubes, made a glass of ice juice for each of the busy people, and Yang Xin'an, who was busy making ice, began to make some toffee again.

This is simpler, from the beginning of the experiment in a small pot to the end of the big pot and cauldron, it took ten catties of sugar and four or five hundred catties of milk to make more than 5,000 finger-sized toffee.

The brother and sister calculated that the cost was less than five gold coins, one was priced at fifty copper plates, and five thousand were only sold for twenty gold coins, and they only earned more than ten gold coins after deducting possible booth fees and taxes, which was not cost-effective when they thought about it.

The elf ate a toffee and said, "It's so fragrant, aren't our fans going to be sold in Flower Street?" There are so many rich children there, the toffee will definitely sell very well, and those young ladies will definitely like it." ”

When the brother and sister heard this, they immediately understood that the price of toffee was low, so the two were ready to sell a silver coin, and they were ready to make a little more.

Yang Xin'an, who was about to continue making toffee, suddenly patted his head and said: "Toffee can't be stored for a long time in summer, and it will melt." ”

Yang Xiaoxin, who understood what her brother meant, also spread her hands, and said with a smile: "You are such a good mallet, you actually did so much before you remembered." ”

In the next three days, the brothers and sisters did not leave home a step, and have been making folding fans, from small folding fans to large folding fans totaling more than 6,000 pieces, packed in a box one by one, it looks like the workmanship is very exquisite, the fan surface is painted with simple landscape paintings, cartoon beast paintings, and some also mention one or two sentences in the second, very emotional poetry.

The brothers and sisters priced these folding fans at eight to fifteen gold coins, including incense fans specially made for women, larger than a palm, all made of wood, using a sturdy incense wood, and the pattern and hollow are carved by the brother and sister and the elves.

The worst thing about Yang Xin'an's carving is that it is completely indiscriminate carving, Yang Xiaoxin and the elves are amazing, in addition to the first ten or so particularly poor, the hundreds of fans carved in the back are all a picture scroll when they are opened.

Seeing the fragrance of the fragrant wood, Yang Xiaoxin remembered to make perfume again, and was going to start making it, but found that there was no alcohol, so she started making soap, and she only knew why the soap was so, or it was made under the reminder of the elf, and the production method was completely recorded by her.

Today is the fourth day of custom-made furniture, and the furniture maker has finally delivered the siblings' custom-made rocking chairs, chaise longues, sling chairs and cool beds.

Due to the increase in the number of family members, Yang Xiaoxin asked for a few more sets of customization, but when he wanted to pay, the businessman shirked it, and took out a small bag to Yang Xiaoxin and said: "These sets of furniture are new samples, if they are manufactured, they will definitely sell well, especially now that it is summer, this is a compensation of 10,000 gold coins." ”

"There will be dividends after we sell, because these things are easier to imitate, dividends will be sold by us until other merchants start selling, but you can rest assured, we will never cheat in terms of dividends. ”

The brother and sister really didn't expect such a good thing to happen suddenly, Yang Xiaoxin's hands trembled a little and took the money bag handed over, and said with a smile: "We believe that you will not cheat, Grandpa Changsun also told us about the promotion of new items and the trade will compensate the creators, Grandpa Changsun! It is the chief of construction who is in office this year, the cabinet elder who retired from the former parliamentarian, and the elder of the Changsun Pavilion." ”

The steward also suddenly realized, and laughed: "It turns out to be Mr. Elder Sun, and the two little friends are the juniors of the elder Ge? No wonder they are so heroic and intelligent, you two look at the manufacture of these new types of seats and benches..."

The two brothers and sisters looked at the great change in the attitude of the steward, and saw his spitting appearance, and said boldly: "You can do it without worry, Grandpa Eldest Sun will not care about this little business." ”

The steward gasped, and his face quickly turned into a big smile and said happily: "The two are bold, the eldest grandson pavilion is old, since you have already said that you will leave first, so as not to miss the opportunity for the night long dream." ”

After saying that, he bowed, turned around and strode away.

When Yang Xiaoxin just opened the money bag and was about to take a look at the Yuanshi inside, the horseman Liu Er ran in in a panic and said, "Miss Young Master, there is a construction convoy outside, saying that it was an appointment with the two masters." ”

The brother and sister stood up and looked at each other, laughed, and hurriedly strode out to greet them.
