Chapter 37: Boiling an Eagle to Play (Third Update, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
"We haven't negotiated business yet, have we?"
After saying this, Wu Cai didn't see it, he took the chopsticks to pick up the dishes and drink by himself, looking at the appearance, he really regarded himself as polite.
This guy is kind of interesting!
Idle and bored, Shi Yiwen doesn't mind passing the time.
"Okay, then you say, what business is there between us?"
After taking a sip of wine, Wu Cai took another sip of food, then looked up at Shi Yiwen and said.
"Childe, at the beginning, I really didn't know that this soap factory is yours, since it is yours, then I will give you a reminder, as far as the usage of your factory is now, as long as you have the heart, you will definitely be able to get your soap recipe out!"
Facing Shi Yiwen's gaze, Wu Cai wanted to see surprise in his eyes, but what disappointed him was that there was not the slightest wave in the other party's eyes, obviously he didn't care at all.
Not care?
Impossible, who isn't afraid that their secret recipe will be stolen by someone else?
"Well, that's a possibility."
Shi Yiwen smiled and nodded in agreement.
He knows better than anyone how "secret" the "secret recipe" of soap is, and he can't talk about any secrets at all, as long as he has the heart, he will definitely be able to find out, even if he has taken precautions in advance.
"Uh......"
Shi Yiwen's seemingly casual answer made Wu Cai feel angry for a while, and he asked in surprise.
"You don't care?"
"Do you care?"
Shi Yiwen asked with a smile.
"What do you care about? Recipe for soap? Sooner or later, the formula of soap will be passed out, and it will be kept secret for a while, but it will not be kept for a lifetime, and there will be no secret in itself. For Shi, even if someone else steals the soap formula, Shi can make other better things, it's not a big deal. ”
Such an answer made Wu Cai stunned, he stared at the other party and wanted to see his true thoughts, but in Shi Yiwen's eyes, all he saw was indifferent calmness.
"You really don't care?"
"It's just soap, soap is good for the people's lives, and if it spreads out and spreads throughout the country, it will only be beneficial to the people, so why does Shi care?"
Edwin still had a smile on his face.
Why care?
As long as he wants, he can make many products that do not belong to this era at any time, and those products can bring him huge wealth without exception. As for the soap...... It's not worth mentioning at all.
Looking at Shi Yiwen's full smile, Wu Cai looked at him repeatedly, and suddenly, as if he had figured out something, he said urgently.
"If that's the case, why do you bring lime and soda into the house, and every few days, workers come to the house to pull the vat full of lye?"
Wu Cai's rhetorical question made Shi Yiwen stunned, in order to keep it secret, he deliberately put the process of producing sodium hydroxide from lime and soda ash at home, and every few days, the workers in the factory would go to the house to get sodium hydroxide, so as to avoid leakage.
Now, this arrangement has been seen through?
Shi Yiwen's reaction fell in Wu Cai's eyes, and he said proudly.
"If it is not bad as expected, the lye that makes the soap is the key, and the alkali and lime must be used in the lye, is it right to guess?"
Wu Caiquan looked quite proud when he spoke, this was a secret that he had worked hard to figure out, originally he wanted to steal the formula for making soap, and then make a fortune from it. But I never thought about it, but I met the right master, and naturally I gave birth to other thoughts.
"Since you think it is, why don't you give it a try?"
Shi Yiwen asked rhetorically.
"How do you know I didn't try, but, it's just ......"
Wu Cai, who was about to explain, saw the smile on Shi Yiwen's face, changed his words, and said with a smile.
"It's just that this kind of thing is by no means done under the circumstances, no, when I met Shi Gongzi today, I took the initiative to remind you."
Wu Cai put on a look of concern,
"Shi Gongzi, think about it, since Xu can know how much lime and how much alkali is transported to your house every time through the guys in the Song family's shop, as long as the people on the side have the heart, they can also find out, in fact, it is not difficult to find out, you see that the guys in the factory say that the lye is important, but the lye is specially transported from outside, where is it transported? If you want to know these things, you don't even have to spend any money, just talk to the workers in the factory, and you can talk about it. ”
As he spoke, Wu Cai casually unfolded the folding fan, and then looked at Shi Yiwen and said.
"Shi Gongzi, do you think I'm awake to this?"
Looking at Wu Cai, who was shaking a paper fan and looking proud, Shi Yiwen looked at him thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Little mercy."
"Young Master, what do you command?"
Xiao Lian, who was standing behind the young master, asked.
"Take the silver."
"Silver? How much? ”
Xiao Lian was puzzled.
"How much did you bring?"
"I only brought a dozen taels."
Xiao Lian's answer made Shi Yiwen embarrassed for a while, silver is worth a lot of money these days, no one will bring a few hundred taels of silver when they go out, not to mention it, and they can't use it, just the wine and food on the table are worth a penny of silver at most.
"Take ten taels of silver first."
Taking the silver ingot from Xiao Lian's hand, Shi Yiwen looked at Wu Cai, who didn't know why, and put the silver on the table.
"This is ten taels of silver, and when you come to my house tomorrow, I will give you another ninety taels or one hundred taels of silver, how about it?"
Shi Yiwen didn't say why he gave him silver, but both Xiao Pian and Wu Cai were stunned by his actions.
"Young Master (you...... )”
Wu Cai, who was surprised, said in a lost voice.
"You, what do you mean?"
After a moment, his face turned red and white, and he said in annoyance.
"Do you think Wu is blackmailing you?"
"Blackmail?"
Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen smiled,
"If it was blackmail, I would never give out this silver, since you have the heart to investigate these, and you can find so many things, it is really not easy, this hundred taels of silver......"
Looking at Wu Cai, Shi Yiwen stood up.
"Leave it to you as the capital, don't you want to do business with Shi, how about this silver, as the capital I invested in you?"
Wu Cai's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Shi Yiwen in confusion and said.
"This, this...... You, aren't you afraid that I will make soap? ”
At this time, Wu Cai was really confused, he looked at Yinzi, and then looked at Shi Yiwen, who had already stood up.
"Just go to my place tomorrow and get the money directly, as for what to buy, I don't care!"
Dropping such a sentence, ignoring Wu Cai's shout, Shi Yiwen went straight downstairs, and Xiao Lian, who was following the young master, said incomprehensibly and dissatisfied.
"Young master, one hundred taels, that's one hundred taels of silver...... You, you're just, just give that liar......"
"Little mercy, you don't understand ......"
Walking around the street, Shi Yiwen smiled.
"Ever heard of the Boiling Eagle? Young master, I want to boil an eagle to play......"
