155. Chapter 155
With the silver given by Ning Guang, Su Liu was down-to-earth, although the two of them had privately agreed on family affairs, but because they didn't get married, she was always scruples, but she still couldn't help but take out some of the silver to buy land.
She is not that unkind, the title deed is written in Ning Guang's name, but she is just going to farm, anyway, it will be everyone's in the future, and it can be regarded as a pre-marital investment.
After two days, the ejiao hanging in the well finally solidified, and it was truly glued.
Taking out the whole basin and carefully cutting off the round ejiao from the basin, Su Liu carefully cut a finger-long piece with a knife and looked at the sunlight repeatedly.
Ejiao is amber, the color is uniform and smooth, the smell is fragrant, I picked a little with a knife and tasted it, the taste is sweet and salty, and it is very different from what she saw in her previous life, but the formula seems to be a little biased, and it can be adjusted slightly.
"It's done." Su Liu said excitedly.
Ning Guang took it and took a look, tasted it too, and said, "It's really the taste of Ejiao." As he spoke, he also glanced at Su Liu deeply, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, but Su Liu was in a state of excitement and didn't notice it.
Chen and Su Xiao couldn't hide their excitement when they heard this, and said, "Is it really done?" ”
Seeing Su Liu nodding, they all showed a relieved smile.
"Sister, then this will be sent to Baicaotang?" Su Xiao asked happily.
"There's no hurry, take advantage of the cool weather now, and dry it first."
Su Liu shook his head and said, took another big knife, turned it according to the Ejiao he saw in his previous life, cut it into small pieces about ten centimeters long and four centimeters wide and about one centimeter thick, and put them in a dry wooden box specially made by a carpenter, flattened and dried.
After another three days, when the ejiao was completely dried, he took a white handkerchief and went to the town's Baicaotang.
The guys in Baicaotang already recognized her, so they directly invited her into the inner hall, and after drinking half a cup of tea, the shopkeeper Fu came.
"Shopkeeper Fu, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your body is healthy?" Su Liu got up and saluted him.
"Thanks to the girl, the old body is still strong." Shopkeeper Fu smiled, the so-called etiquette is not strange, Su Liu understands etiquette like this, Shopkeeper Fu naturally said that he was happy in his heart, especially an elderly person like him, so he asked: "Why did the girl come 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. ”
Shopkeeper Fu was a little surprised, oh.
Su Liu took out the handkerchief from the basket on the side, opened the things wrapped in it, walked to the shopkeeper Fu, and said with a smile: "I want the shopkeeper to show me the authenticity of this ejiao, if it is like such a big piece, how much silver is it worth?" ”
Shopkeeper Fu took it and looked down, his face changed slightly, he stood up, pinched the corner of Ejiao with the handkerchief and looked at the light, picked a little bit to taste, his eyes were surprised, and said, "If the girl is not in a hurry, I will ask Dr. Cai to help take a look." ”
Su Liu was naturally not in a hurry, and after saying casually, the shopkeeper Fu hurriedly walked out.
Su Liu himself also knew that the color of Ejiao was not particularly sharp, but in the end, it was a real material, and there would always be some medicinal use, so he also sat down in an orderly manner and drank tea and waited.
Another time for tea passed, and the shopkeeper Fu came back, and behind him, he followed Song Fei.
Su Liu was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to greet each other with a busy smile.
"I don't know where the girl got this ejiao?" The shopkeeper asked again.
Su Liu hurriedly asked, "But what's the problem?" "It's not that she's afraid that people will change her ejiao, but it's the first time she has done it, and she doesn't understand medical science, so I'm afraid that something will be wrong.
"Ejiao is a real Ejiao, but it looks like it has just been made, and the technique is not particularly mature, so I asked the girl where did she get it?" Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile.
Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but answered the question: "Then according to the shopkeeper, what is the condition of this piece of ejiao, and how is it compared to the one that Baicaotang recovered?" How much silver is it worth if it is sold in Baicaotang? ”
Shopkeeper Fu glanced at Song Fei, saw him nodded, and said: "The fineness is good, but it is a little worse than that of Renjitang, but it does not affect the medicinal use. ”
Su Liu listened, took a breath, obediently, no wonder they all say that Ejiao is a precious thing, whether it is ancient or modern, it is the same, such a small piece is only about three taels, and it costs a few taels of silver, which is the cost of a family living in a farm for a year.
However, Su Liu was very happy after being surprised, and quickly calculated a number in his heart, excluding the cost, plus other rice wine and ice tang, and other miscellaneous medicinal materials, such a pot of ejiao, but it can earn hundreds of taels, how can you not be happy?
Song Fei saw Su Liu's face full of joy, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Su is so happy, this Ejiao ......"
There was an inquiry in his words, and Su Liu also concealed it at this time, so he said: "Don't hide it, this ejiao is just made by me these days, and the glue that came out two days ago is now dried and sent to the shopkeeper to help me look at it." ”
"What? This ejiao is made by a girl? Shopkeeper Fu stood up in shock, and even Song Fei was full of consternation.
This Su Liu is too unexpected, how could she, a little peasant girl, make something as precious as Ejiao?
Su Liu had already thought of his words, and said: "I had no intention of getting an ancient recipe, I made it according to the formula mentioned above, as for where to get it, I really have a hard time, and I hope that Third Brother Song and Shopkeeper Fu will not embarrass me." ”
Shopkeeper Fu heard the ancient recipe, his eyes glanced at him, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Song Fei glanced at him, so he had to press it.
"I don't know how much Ejiao Sister Su made?" Song Fei asked with a smile.
"It's not much, there are more than a dozen pieces at home, almost five catties, I just tried to do it, and the technique is also very rusty, if I try to improve it next time, the color purity should slowly keep up." Su Liudao said that the donkey skin she bought was about four kilograms, and the ejiao she made was nearly five kilograms.
Song Fei nodded and said, "Then Sister Su, is this Ejiao sold?" ”
Su Liu was a little embarrassed, but he still said generously: "I want to sell it." She pursed her lips before she asked worriedly, "I don't know if Third Brother Song will accept this Baicaotang?" ”
"Now is the time when there is a shortage of ejiao, and Baicaotang is also in short supply, Sister Su's ejiao can be regarded as dozing off and touching the pillow." Song Fei smiled and said, "How much Ejiao does Sister Su have, Baicaotang has collected it all, how about three taels of silver for the time being?" In the future, if you make a better color purity, then count it separately. ”
Su Liu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Then I will send Ejiao from home tomorrow." ”
Song Fei nodded, waved his hand, and the shopkeeper Fu personally sent it out, and it didn't take long to turn back.
"Sent away?"
"Hmm." Shopkeeper Fu scratched his head anxiously and said, "Third master, Miss Su's Ejiao recipe ......"
If Baicaotang buys that recipe, will you still worry about not having Ejiao in the future, this is a precious thing, but it will make a lot of money.
Song Fei waved his hand, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Shopkeeper Fu, if your family has such a money-making recipe, will you easily let it out?" ”
The shopkeeper choked and couldn't speak.
This must be unwilling, take Renjitang as an example, people made a fortune by selling ejiao, can you let Renjitang take it out?
Song Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, that girl is so smart, and she knows the truth that she is guilty." ”
Shopkeeper Fu choked again, looked at his master, and suddenly relaxed, it seems that Baicaotang will not lack Ejiao in the future.
Su Liu's whole person walked flutteringly, she knew that Ejiao was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be like this, it was really unexpected.
When she got home, Su Liu was still in a state of confusion, but Su Xiao gently patted her arm, and then she came to her senses.
"What's wrong?"
"I just asked you what's wrong, you shouldn't be called." Su Xiao sighed and said, "Sister, what happened to Ejiao." ”
"Sold for a good price." Su Liu looked at the Chen family, and they smiled and said a number.
"What, so expensive?" Chen was so shocked that the embroidery shed in his hand fell, and he didn't care to pick it up, and said in disbelief: "I have only heard of one or two ejiao and one or two gold in the past, and this is really the case." ”
Su Liu pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother, this is still the original price!" ”
"What's the original price?"
Su Liu explained, from her is the first hand, and Baicaotang is the second hand, so the price will naturally increase, if there is a third hand, it will definitely continue to rise.
Chen was speechless when he heard it, and Su Xiao called out to the ancestor.
"This thing, that's it?"
"Okay, let's try it." Su Liu smiled and said, "Anyway, when we cut the pieces, there are a lot of corners left, let's keep the stewed soup ourselves, it's a good thing." ”
Since he has earned money, Su Liu naturally will not treat himself badly, otherwise what would he do so hard, what is the meaning of being a miser? She won't be that kind of person, she has to spend the money when she earns it, and that's the meaning of making money.
"Sister, since this ejiao is so precious, let's make it again, let's just make this ejiao." Su Xiao's eyes lit up, and he could almost see the silver swaying in front of him.
"This ejiao is to be made, and the baodian shop is our first business, so we can't just lose it." Su Liu pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, wait for me to come up with a detailed plan." ”
Now that there is a big business income, the stall may be able to become a bun shop, and learn from those big stores, and also make a brand of a century-old store, so Su Liu does not plan to give up.
In fact, they are only engaged in Ejiao business, and of course they can maintain their lives now, but Su Liu's eyes are not limited to this, and Huaibi is guilty, if she has no backing, she doesn't know how long this Ejiao can do, it seems that she has to plan carefully!
