Chapter Ninety-Nine: Seven Thousand in One Day

Li Tai asked, "Just rely on your mung bean soup?" You still want to sell mung bean soup for sky-high prices. ”

Of course, mung bean soup can't be sold at a sky-high price, and even a bowl of chilled mung bean soup may not be bought by anyone at a sky-high price.

In one day, Jingyang recruited more than 7,000 people, and almost the entire Chang'an territory was drained of labor.

Li Zheng came to the rear of Jingyang, and a cart of saltpeter was pulled to the village, and saltpeter is also called saltpeter, bitter salt, flame nitrate, fire nitrate, and ground frost.

There is less woodland around Chang'an, and saltpeter mining is easy.

Before saltpeter was used, there were quite a lot of them.

In this era, saltpeter is probably the Taoist priest who alchemist.

Break up all the saltpeter and pour it into buckets.

Look at some of the thin ice that has condensed in the water.

Just looking at the saltpeter that can turn water into ice is like a magic spell.

But this kind of thing just appeared in front of him.

Even an ordinary person can do it.

The villagers asked Li Daxiong, "This is also what your son learned in the book?" ”

Li Daxiong nodded suspiciously, "Maybe." ”

In fact, Li Daxiong is also very suspicious, where did this kid learn his skills.

It's okay to do it once or twice, that kid has grown too much in the past six months.

It's true that you can learn from reading.

Can you still learn this by reading a book? It's really suspicious.

Li Daxiong looked at the blue sky and whispered: "Child, mother, could it be that you have a spirit in the sky?" ”

Sun Simiao was busy for a day, and many people who suffered from heat stroke were lying in the hospital.

After finishing his work, Sun Simiao took a sip of mung bean soup.

I have to say that it is a great pleasure to drink a sip of cold mung bean soup in the summer.

Seeing that some villagers went out with bags of ice, Sun Simiao asked, "What are you doing when you go out with ice?" ”

The villagers stopped and explained: "Doctor Sun, the county marquis said to take these ice and sell them for money, thirty wen a catty, and the money sold will be divided into five and a half with the county marquis." ”

"Split the account in five-five?"

"Actually, this is all ice that the county marquis taught us to make, we just need to earn some money for running errands."

Sun Simiao nodded and affirmed Li Zheng's personality a little.

I have a way to earn money, and I don't forget to take care of the township.

A good boy indeed.

Sun Simiao sighed: "It's a pity that such a child doesn't be his own disciple. ”

The villager said: "Zheng'er is indeed a good boy who has been sensible since he was a child, but he said that this ice can't be eaten." ”

Sun Simiao returned to Li Zheng's house, saw Li Zheng counting the money and asked, "How did you make ice?" ”

Li Zheng counted one article after another and said: "Secret recipe." ”

Looking at Li Zheng suspiciously, Sun Simiao said again: "I heard that Poor Dao heard that you let the villagers transport a lot of saltpeter? ”

Li Zheng nodded, "Saltpeter is indeed one of the secret recipes. ”

Sun Simiao said: "It is recorded in the medical scriptures that saltpeter is hard, bitter, warm, non-toxic, and can even be used as medicine. ”

Saltpeter is indeed non-toxic, but it is easy to get sick to the stomach if you eat too much.

After packing up the money, Li Zheng put away the account book and said to Sun Simiao: "Doctor Sun, in fact, the children in the lower village are also very good, do you want to accept Da Niu as an apprentice." ”

"If you agree to be a disciple of the poor Dao, it doesn't hurt that the big cow will accept it."

It seems that Sun Simiao is determined to accept himself as a disciple.

Li Zheng said again: "The melon twisted by Doctor Sun is not sweet. ”

Sun Simiao said melancholy: "Although you have a little melon, you are still young and can learn slowly." ”

The old man is stubborn when he is old.

The heat is unbearable, and there are many fewer passers-by on the streets of Chang'an City.

Villagers in Jingyang entered Chang'an with ice.

broke the tranquility of Chang'an.

Immediately, the people of Chang'an came to coax to buy ice.

Thirty pounds of ice is really rare at this time.

On weekdays, the price of ice is always high.

It's always very rare to be able to buy a piece of ice.

Now you can buy a pound for 30 wen!?

When did ice become so cheap?

To survive this scorching heat, you can't do without ice.

Many wealthy people in Chang'an even went to some mountains and forests to escape the heat.

But I can't eat a bite of ice.

Cheng Yanjin sat at home, also sweating profusely, wearing a single coat to listen to his son.

"Thirty pounds of ice? Is there such a good thing? Cheng Yanjin was a little impatient with the heat.

Cheng Chumo put a package of ice in front of Cheng Yanjin and said: "Old goods, you hurry up and soak in wine and drink a sip to cool it down, if you turn the money into money, it will be spent in vain." ”

Cheng Yanjin grabbed a handful of ice and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Quack...... Quack...... Quack......

"It's ice!"

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin picked up a handful and put it in his mouth and said: "Thirty wen a catty, right, go buy an eight hundred catties first." ”

Li Shimin sweated like rain to review the chapters, and the eunuchs with fans on the side had changed several times.

The palace maid of the Lizheng Hall said: "Your Majesty, the queen said that there is not much ice left, should you save a little." ”

Li Shimin hesitated for a while and said, "Then save a little." ”

The palace maid said again: "Now there are ice sellers in Chang'an, and the queen said that she wants to buy some." ”

Of course, there are people who hide ice, but ice is too expensive at this time.

Li Shimin said again: "I'm afraid the price is not low." ”

The eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty, General Cheng sent a hundred catties of ice over, saying that it was to relieve Your Majesty's heat." ”

Li Shimin wiped his forehead and said, "Really? Then send it to the Lizheng Palace. ”

Another eunuch came to report and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yiguo also sent a hundred catties of ice." ”

Li Shimin was puzzled, and it would be okay to bite the gold.

Everyone knows that the Cheng family has made a lot of money by opening a spirits workshop.

Qin Qiong's life was not rich, where did he get a hundred catties of ice.

Could it be that Qin Qiong also has hidden ice?

Jingyang

Li Zheng dug a pond by the Jingyang River, filled it with water, and poured buckets of saltpeter into the pool.

Li Tai soaked in the pool and said happily: "It's so comfortable, Li Zheng, you can really enjoy it." ”

Feeling the cold water, Li Zheng took a sip of mung bean soup.

Cheng Chumo came on horseback, "Li Zheng! I knew it was you. ”

After speaking, Cheng Chumo saw a pool of ice water, picked up his own essence and jumped into the pool.

After splashing in the ice water for a while, Cheng Chumo said: "Cool! ”

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng and said, "Say, just selling ice on this day, how much do you earn." ”

"No more, no less, just over 7,000."

Cheng Chu was so surprised that he stammered a little, "You Li Zheng earns seven thousand a day!" ”

As the weather gets hotter, spirits don't sell well.

Even in the peak season, you can earn a hundred times a day, and a thousand times is a good market.

Li Zheng earned 7,000 yuan just by selling ice in one day.
