Chapter 6: Seventeen Niang

I wanted to eat meat, but I was afraid of being beaten, so I didn't eat it in the end.

Fortunately, Zhu Butcher is not a native hat who doesn't know anything, although the profit of six cents a pound is less than half, but he does not take any risks, such a steady profit and no loss is naturally a matter of interest for him.

After negotiating the conditions, and then writing the documents in the dental store to ensure the terms of the transaction between the two parties, Zhang Yi went to the pharmacy with anticipation.

However, before leaving, Zhang Yi kindly reminded Zhu Butcher, and he felt that it was still necessary to ask Zhu Butcher and several other butchers to sign a paperwork.

With the thought of the alarm clock, a textbook-like book stood in front of Zhang Yi's eyes.

Click on the first page, it is the first point of the production guide that Zhang Yi got after crossing the Great Zhou - the braised vegetable production book.

The book of braised vegetables is a recipe for braised vegetables.

On the pages of the book, there are 23 kinds of spices such as ginger, pepper, licorice, grass fruit, and pine, which not only record the amount of each spice in detail, but also the method of boiling the brine is recorded in great detail.

According to Zhang Yi's memory, there are many recipes for braised vegetables in later generations, and all kinds of recipes can be described as dazzling, whether it is a ready-made marinade package sold in the supermarket, or a secret recipe for small paths.

It's just that these marinades are strictly speaking some conventional marinades, and the taste is also of the public type, which is 108,000 miles worse than those marinated vegetables from a century-old marinated vegetable family.

Think about it, people's ancestral secret recipes are hidden like treasures, how can they be taken out and sold all over the world?

After crossing two streets, Zhang Yi soon came to Wude Hall on Deshun Street.

Wudetang is a very famous pharmacy in Jiangning City, in addition to the fair price of medicine, there are poor people who see a doctor and the shopkeeper will also let the doctor help with free consultation, although it still has to charge a little drug fee but only charge the cost price, so it has always been very loved by the ordinary people in Jiangning.

The main reason why Zhang Yi chose Wudetang is because Wudetang has a complete range of medicinal materials and low prices, so it is always good for him to spend less for his whole belongings with only eighteen taels of silver.

He took out one of the marinade recipes written in two parts by pen and ink in the tooth shop and handed it to the guy, with the man's accurate and accurate method of grasping the medicine, the first batch of marinade was all grabbed after a while, and when he was about to hand over the second recipe, Zhang Yi paused or dispelled this idea.

Even though the recipe has been divided into two parts, in fact, it is not safe at all, the braised vegetable recipe is undoubtedly a matter of life and death for today's Chunfanglou, so Zhang Yi can't be cautious, so he decided to take the other prescription to other prescriptions to grab, even if some of them are expensive and can be kept secret, it is understandable.

However, when the shopkeeper's abacus crackled, he actually quoted the price of six taels of silver, which scared Zhang Yi and almost fart. The strand sat on the ground.

Six taels of silver, in exchange for the next generation, it will be 6,000 yuan!

And the most important thing is that 6,000 yuan actually only caught half of the marinade recipe, if the whole set is caught, it will not cost more than 10,000 yuan, and what do you say is good and cheap, I went 6 times, and my heart, liver and lungs are black.

"Chenghui, a total of six taels and three coins of silver!" The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Yi with a smile on his face, the medicine bag in his hand swayed, if Zhang Yi didn't pay, he would definitely not hand over the medicine bag.

"Shopkeeper, look, did you miscalculate?"

It took a long time for Zhang Yi to come back to his senses, and then immediately began to question the level of the shopkeeper's accounting.

More than 10,000 yuan of marinade, wouldn't the marinated dishes come out and eat to ascend to heaven? Ordinary people, who can eat!

As soon as the words came out, the face of the old shopkeeper, who was still pleasant, immediately became gloomy.

Miscalculated?

Will the shopkeeper Li, who is known as the iron abacus, miscalculate? Isn't this a door-to-door slap in the face?

However, although his face was not very good-looking, Shopkeeper Li still barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said with some disdain: "This little brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." I, Li Lao Wu, have been the shopkeeper of this Wude Hall for thirty-two years, and I haven't missed an account until now.

You see, your recipe is almost all precious spices except cinnamon, licorice, and cloves....."

While speaking, the shopkeeper Li also opened the medicine bag, sorted out several ingredients from it, pointed to one of them and said: "For example, this cumin, also known as fennel seeds, cumin, fennel, and Huaixiang, is produced in the north, and the output is small, and then transported from the north to Jiangning, these thousands of miles of people eat horses and chew just the freight is expensive, if it is not in my Wude Hall, if it is not in other places, I have to charge you three taels of silver and a penny!" ”

The more Shopkeeper Li spoke, the more angry he became, and his mouth full of spittle Xingzi called a snowfall, spraying Zhang Yi's face.

Fortunately, although the old shopkeeper was angry, he was just talking about it, obviously a reasonable person would not do it, Zhang Yi hurriedly took out the silver from his pocket to pay the bill, if he let this master spray down, he would have to let the full house of sick people be torn up today.

Coming out of Wude Hall, Zhang Yi finally understood one thing.

That is, spices were really not something that ordinary people could play with in ancient times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were luxuries.

Thinking about it, he originally thought that eighteen taels of silver would be used for two taels at most, but now it seems that even if it is all on board, it is estimated that it is far from his plan.

Out of Wudetang, and then went to Tongrenfang, and then.... Then in the morning, the eighteen taels of silver that he was still majestic and high-spirited shrank to two taels, and Zhang Yi finally returned to Chunfang Building with two large bags of marinade, a pair of pig ears, and a few sticks tied by a few ropes.

As I expected, because I didn't do business in the morning, several young ladies in the building disappeared after assisting in cleaning, and I didn't believe it if I didn't go back to the room to sleep and sleep and kill Zhang Yi.

However, there is an exception, and that is Eighteen Niang.

Eighteen Niang's surname is Li Mingkexin, as her name suggests, goose egg face, willow waist, eighteen years old is quite talented in poetry and calligraphy, and the pipa in one hand can be described as superb, even the eldest mother Li Chunfang has to give a thumbs up, and she is a lovely person who is still pitiful.

Unlike other little girls, Li Kexin was standing in front of the window on the second floor at this time, looking down at the street below, and it was not until Zhang Yi entered the door that he came back to his senses.

"Eighteen Niang, why didn't you sleep longer?" Zhang Yi said hello to Li Kexin, but the corner of his eyes secretly couldn't help but look at Li Kexin's appearance today, through the light in front of the window, the evenly slender legs of the eighteen niang immediately appeared in the skirt, and as the breeze blew, it was like the lotus leaves in the lotus pond constantly undulating, and Zhang Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw it.

"Can't sleep!" Li Kexin didn't notice Zhang Yi's small movements, and when he saw Zhang Yi's pig ears walking towards the kitchen, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and muttered: "I've been suffering you and my eldest sister recently!" ”
