Chapter 41: The Secret Behind the Gold Ingots

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the boiling juice in the iron pot, grabbed three large pieces of rock sugar and put them along the edge of the pot, and said, "Soy milk, it must be cooked before it can be eaten." ”

According to the habits of the past, Lin Xiaoyan must make any ingredient that must be the best of the best, but when she travels to this unknown era, let alone select high-quality soybeans, it is good to be able to buy them with silver.

In today's situation, she can only use the water soaked in the red fruit as a secret seasoning to make the ingredients taste as much as possible.

When making pastries, Lin Xiaoyan had a little left over and didn't use it up, and now it was just in use, she soaked it in the scoop with water, and then took out the bowl from the scoop and poured the water into the iron pot.

"Hopefully, it must be delicious."

Lin Xiaoyan prayed in her heart.

At this time, she took out the burning firewood and put it in the ashes under the earthen stove, and boiled it over low heat.

Looking at the businessman eating incense outside the door, Lin Xiaoyan was very relieved.

Cakes have not yet appeared in this era, coupled with her peculiar techniques, and the way of kneading and shaping pastries, it is even more rare, and it is not uncommon to be able to sell ten taels of silver to be full.

You must know that in the new era, she uses "Jingshanqiao rice", which is known as the tribute rice of the Ming Dynasty, the taste is fragrant and glutinous, and the polished flour is also exceptionally refreshing.

It is also common for a palm-sized cake to sell for three or four hundred yuan.

Now, she's making a name for herself and then raising the price.

At this moment, the two businessmen who were eating a large piece of cake suddenly stopped what they were doing, held a large piece of cake in their mouths, and asked with each other: "What do you ask, it's so fragrant." ”

"I bet it tastes even better than our ship's daughter Red."

"Hmm."

Another businessman responded.

"Ten miles of beans, do you want to drink it?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at the two businessmen outside and asked.

"Uh-huh......"

"Ten taels of silver, fill up." Lin Xiaoyan said with a polite smile.

Ahem –

Min Huaiye, who was sitting and eating cake on the side, was almost choked by his own spit, he remembered that Lin Xiaoyan only received ten taels of silver from two businessmen just now, and now he has to charge ten taels of silver for drinking a bowl of soy milk.

Profiteers, stone hammers!

"Ten taels of silver?" The man in the brown merchant's clothes bowed his head and said, "How is it more expensive than my daughter's red." ”

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, walked out with two bowls of soy milk in person, and said: "The two of you also said just now, the fragrance of ten miles of bean fragrance is more fragrant than your daughter red on the ship, so its price is naturally more expensive than your daughter red." ”

"If, I'm not mistaken, the two of you have been sailing at sea for more than three days, and the nutrition in the fragrance of ten miles of beans just makes up for this time, and the nutrition of your voyage...... I think the two are objectively extraordinary, they should be businessmen who do big business, even so, why should they care about ten taels of silver and ten miles of bean incense money? ”

Another merchant frowned slightly, pondered for a while, took out ten taels of silver and said, "Okay, what you said is full......"

After speaking, he picked up the ten miles of bean incense handed by Lin Xiaoyan, and drank it with a "gurgling", and the man sitting opposite him saw him have a bowl of ten miles of bean incense in his stomach, and hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Lin Xiaoyan and said, "I want to drink it too." ”

After that, he also took the bowl, ignored the heat, and drank it with his head held high.

The first merchant who finished drinking shook the empty bowl and said to Lin Xiaoyan, "Ten more bowls." ”

"This guest officer, our family's ten miles of bean fragrance is made of original ecological and pollution-free bean juice, don't look at a bowl to drink nothing, if you drink too much, it will be very supportive, I suggest you drink bowl by bowl, ten bowls I'm afraid you can't drink it."

Lin Xiaoyan explained truthfully.

The ten-mile bean fragrance she made is not an ordinary soybean milk, it is a fusion of Taoist heart and supreme techniques, each bean is fused with the strength of yin and yang, and the grinding of stones, now mixed with rare fairy juice, it is quite a stomach, ordinary people will feel very full when they drink two or three bowls, not to mention sub-healthy people like them, I am afraid that the second bowl has not been drunk, and the cake in front of me will not be able to eat.

"Little girl, I see that you are not tall, and your skills are not bad, this is your mouth...... It's a little underdrawn, didn't you hear what Lao Tzu just said? Go and bring ten bowls, or I'll eat with you." The merchant yelled viciously.

"I'm sorry, I'm not selling the ten mile incense." Lin Xiaoyan put away the silver and turned around and walked inside.

She is a woman known as the god of food, no one has ever dared to threaten her to make food, and the two middle-aged men in front of her dare to speak wildly and order her unashamedly.

There are no doors.

"Little girl, you took our money, but you didn't sell it." The merchant was furious, stood up and said loudly: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu demolished your shop." ”

Lin Xiaoyan stopped, the bangs on her forehead blocked her eyes, no one knew what she was thinking, and suddenly, she said indifferently: "Haven't you sailors heard of it, don't offend the cook whenever you don't want?" ”

"I'd better sit where I am and finish the cake on the plate, otherwise I will ......" Saying this, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head, revealing bloodthirsty eyes, and threatened: "The old lady chopped you dumplings." ”

Syllable!

For some reason, the businessman who was angry just now saw Lin Xiaoyan's eyes, and sat down on the bench, but because he didn't sit on the stool, he fell directly to the ground.

"Stinky girl, I see that you want to make trouble." Wearing the clothes of a brown merchant, he "brushed", twitched the big knife he was wearing at his waist, and slashed at the ground, the table in front of him became halved, and an unfinished cake fell to the ground, dirty!

"You-"

Lin Xiaoyan stared at the pastry that fell on the ground, and her expression became extremely serious.

Wasting food is wasting life.

These two businessmen, who had been on the sea for more than half a month, dared to waste her food.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

"Pick it up." Lin Xiaoyan ordered.

"Hmph, stinky girl, weren't you dragging just now? How can I get angry when I see a pastry falling on the ground? The merchant stepped on the broken cake and said, "I don't." ”

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyan's figure flashed, and when everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyan again, she had already appeared in front of the businessman, and everyone only listened to one sentence: "Pork neck, seventy percent strength!" ”

I saw Lin Xiaoyan jump up in the air, kick the merchant on the neck, and said.

With a "bang", he smashed the table in front of Min Huaiye.

"Table, five taels of silver, two taels, a total of ten taels." Lin Xiaoyan stood firm and said leisurely.

Causing trouble in her yard, she has never seen it in her life.

"You...... You, this profiteer, I just want ten bowls, ten miles of bean fragrance, you actually ...... They beat people and extorted us for money. The merchant man in brown clothes broke out in a cold sweat and said.

"Really? Later, if you can't finish ten bowls of ten miles of bean incense, then you will have to pay me a hundred taels of gold. Lin Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently.

"Drink it." The brown-clad merchant replied.

At this moment, Lin Xiaohua and Lin Zhaodi came out with five bowls of ten-mile bean incense, and the businessman in brown clothes looked at Lin Xiaoyan unconvinced, and picked up the ten-mile bean incense in front of him and drank it.

Unexpectedly, after half a bowl of stomach, he actually found that he couldn't drink anymore.

In order not to let Lin Xiaoyan find out, the businessman in brown clothes held his stomach with one hand and forcibly drank it.

"If you can't drink it, don't drink it, be careful to eat too much and die." Lin Xiaoyan said indifferently.

Unconvinced, the merchant in dark brown took three more sips, then immediately put down his bowl and sat retching.

"How about it, I'm not wrong, ten miles of beans, if you drink too much, you will die." Lin Xiaoyan rolled her eyes and said again.

"Stinky girl, you remember it for me." The businessman in brown clothes picked up the man who was kicked on the ground by Lin Xiaoyan and said.

"Remember that there is a fart, a hundred taels of gold, take it out before you are allowed to leave." Lin Xiaoyan looked at the man and said.

The merchant who had been kicked in the neck took out ten gold ingots from his clothes, put them on the ground, and threatened, "I will come back." ”

With that, the merchant in dark brown clothes helped the injured man to leave, and Lin Xiaoyan strode forward and picked up ten gold ingots with joy.

Suddenly, Min Huaiye saw the bottom of the gold ingots in Lin Xiaoyan's hand, and immediately gasped, and said in his heart: "That's official silver?" ”

Before he could speak, Lin Xiaoyan ordered: "A few of you, go and clean up the place and set up the two tables again." ”

"Haha...... I became rich, and I earned a hundred taels of gold and twenty taels of silver for breakfast. Lin Xiaoyan walked back to the house satisfied.

But Lin Xiaohua was not so happy, her sister's method of making money just now, she was still very scared, so she pulled Lin Xiaoyan and said: "Sister, why don't we close the store and go back to the countryside to hide for a few days, I think those people are very scary, in case they bring someone back to retaliate, then what should we do?" ”

"Sister, won't you go back and take the bundle to Zhao Guang's house in Waterside Village?" Lin Xiaoyan said.

"Madam, I think your sister said a lot, you better close the door and go back to the countryside to hide for a few days." Min Huaiye walked in and said.

Although he didn't see clearly when Lin Xiaoyan made a move just now, those two people were by no means ordinary people, and I am afraid that they would be involved in a big case behind them.

He was worried that when he was not by Lin Xiaoyan's side, something would happen to her.

"Hide?" Lin Xiaoyan turned around and looked at Min Huaiye and said unhappily: "Do you think I look like a person who is afraid of things?" When my wife learned to cook, they didn't know where to play in the mud, and you told me to close the door when I just opened now, and you are really my good partner! ”

"Here, you can receive six taels of silver before tax, and thirty-three taels of gold." Lin Xiaoyan took the silver in her hand and shook it in front of Min Huaiye and said, "Are you sure you don't want it." ”
