Seeing that Cui Wending agreed, Li Zhi Kankan said: "If you take the goods at this price, you have to pay a deposit first." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoYou pay me half of the payment first, and then I can transfer the goods from the south. Otherwise, if I don't want the goods to come, I'm not a big loss? When the goods arrive, you pay the next half of the payment. ”

Cui Wending said lightly: "It's okay to do this, 50,000 pieces of soap are 850 taels, and I will send you a deposit of 425 taels tomorrow!" ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "Cui Xianggong is a refreshing person!" ”

Cui Wending saw that this young man was shrewd and funny, and laughed.

Sending Cui Wending away, Li Zhi looked at the spices on the table and thought about it.

Li Zhi is good at making soap, but he lacks spices. Now that the materials were available, he naturally wanted to give them a try, so he went into the kitchen and made soap. It's also easy to turn soap into soap: while the soap is still soft, Li Zhi adds the small box of wood rhinoceros oil to the soap, stirs and mixes well. When the soap dries, it becomes fragrant and becomes soap. If you use it to wash your hair and body, you will have a lingering fragrance on your body, and I am afraid that it will be very popular with women.

However, in this era, there was no chemical industry, spices were expensive, and there were too few families who could afford soap. Such a product can't sell much, and Li Zhi is not ready to produce it on a large scale. Make some once in a while, and give them as gifts.

Li Zhi put the soap on the kitchen cabinet.

Early the next morning, Cui Wending brought someone to send four hundred and twenty-five taels of silver. A whole box was loaded heavily, and it was carried by two servants together.

When the servants of the Cui family left, Li Zhi moved the silver into the house, called his younger brother and mother to open the box together, and saw ten silver ingots of forty taels and one silver ingot of twenty-five taels.

Seeing so much silver, the family of three let out an exclamation.

Those silver ingots were all privately cast horseshoe silver, large at the top and small at the bottom, shaped like an ingot, and the big one was half the size of a fist. The silver ingots were snow-white and glowed with the metallic luster of silver, and it was evident that it had not been many years since they were minted, and they had not been circulated many times.

A box of silver ingots glittered in the light, as if it had illuminated the dilapidated Li family hall.

Li Zhi picked up a silver ingot of forty taels, and saw that the silver ingot was still engraved with an inscription, clearly written with several big characters "Forty taels", and next to it was written in small characters "Gu Akui, Wuning County, Nanchang Prefecture, the first year of the Apocalypse", which was the time, place and the name of the caster.

Zheng looked at these silver ingots, touched his heart and said, "Zhi'er, my mother has never seen so much silver in my life!" Can you make so much soap this month? With so much deposit, if the goods cannot be delivered by then, it will definitely be difficult for Cui Xianggong to get along. ”

Li Zhi replied lightly: "Don't be afraid, mother, what is 50,000 pieces of soap?" Call the second grandfather tomorrow and recruit a few more helpers in the clan. Anyway, there are a lot of empty houses at home, so take a few wings and south rooms to make a workshop, and make them for him in half a month! ”

When Zheng saw Li Zhi's words, he believed it. Seeing that Li Zhi was so promising, no longer as stupid as before, Zheng was full of joy and sat on the chair and stopped talking.

Li Xing asked, "Big brother, how much can we earn from these 50,000 pieces of soap?" ”

Li Zhi calculated and said: "There are more than five hundred taels of gross profit, and there are also four or five hundred taels of labor after removing the required labor." ”

Li Xing was frightened by the results calculated by Li Zhi, and said, "There are so many? ”

Zheng was also taken aback by Li Zhi's words, stood up and said, "You can earn so much silver? ”

In the middle of the ring, Li Xing reacted, jumped up happily, and said, "Big brother, won't we become rich and noble in the future?" He couldn't help but hug Li Zhi and said loudly: "Big brother, we're going to get rich, we're going to get rich!" In the future, I will live the life of a rich and noble family! ”

Li Zhi scolded with a smile: "Look at your appearance!" Breaking free from Li Xing's embrace, Li Zhi said: "With this silver, let's pay off the debt owed to the Xiao family first!" ”

Li Xing nodded when he heard this, and said loudly: "What the eldest brother said is that if you owe so much money to people, you always feel like you can't raise your head!" ”

When Zheng heard Li Zhi say that he was going to repay the money, he burst into tears with excitement. In the past few months, she has been worried about the debts owed by her family every day, worried that the house will be taken away by the Xiao family, and her family will live on the streets, and her hair has turned a lot gray. Now that she heard Li Zhi say that she was going to pay back the money, how could she not be excited?

Zheng wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and said, "Okay, Zhi'er, you are really good." You go with Xing'er and pay off this debt first! ”

Li Zhi took out two silver ingots from the box, cut off two taels with a knife on one silver ingot and put it aside, and made up seventy-eight taels of silver. After weighing the weight with the scale at home, and after confirming that it was correct, Li Zhi took Li Xing with the silver and walked to Xiao's house.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Li Zhi ran into Aunt Lan next door. Seeing Li Zhi holding the silver, Aunt Lan asked loudly:

"Li Zhi, where did you get such a big two ingots of silver, and you borrowed this silver?"

"I made it by buying and selling soap!"

Aunt Lan was taken aback and said, "Earned so much? So what are you doing with all this silver? ”

What Li Zhi wanted was Aunt Lan's gossip, and replied loudly: "I'll go to Xiao's house to pay back the silver!" ”

Hearing Aunt Lan and Li Zhi talking, several women next to them walked out of their shop and looked at Li Zhi.

When Aunt Lan heard Li Zhi's words, she gasped and said, "It's only been a few days, and you've earned the money to pay off your debts?" ”

Li Zhi didn't answer Aunt Lan's words, and said loudly: "If I repay the Xiao family's silver today, my family will no longer owe anyone else's silver!" ”

After Li Zhi said this, he proudly straightened his waist in front of the neighbors, and raised his eyebrows indescribably.

Aunt Lan looked at Li Zhi, nodded and said, "You kid is really out of the picture, he turned over so quickly, not at all like the stupid look he used to be." Li Cheng has a good son, and he is also happy underground! ”

Li Zhi smiled, didn't answer Aunt Lan's words, and took Li Xing to Xiao's house, only letting the neighbors point fingers at him.

Along the way, Li Zhi was not in a hurry, and walked down the street with his head held high, and from time to time someone asked Li Zhi, Li Zhi explained to others what he was going to do, so that the neighbors knew that he was going to repay the money. Halfway through, Li Zhi saw Cui He coming over with a maid. Cui He saw Li Zhi holding the silver, ran up quickly and asked, "Li Zhi, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Zhi joked a few days ago that Cui He was his sweetheart, and it didn't seem to annoy Cui He, but made the relationship between the two closer. At this time, Li Zhi saw that Cui He was asking innocently, and he was amused, and replied: "I want to return the Xiao family's silver!" ”

When Cui He heard this, he asked in surprise: "It's only been a few days, and you've earned more than seventy taels of silver?" ”
