After buying the knife, Li Feibai went back to Zheng Haoran's house and played with his little nephew for an afternoon. After dinner, he rolled up the black suitcase in his own mess and returned to his lodgings.

Hou Yanmin had already fallen asleep, Li Feibai opened the door and entered his room, lit candles, took out the things in the black leather box one by one and put them on the table. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything that could be made and sold for money at this time.

It was summer, mosquitoes were rampant, and after a while, several large bags had been bitten out of the body. He took out a box of cool oil from the blanket, which was attacked by mosquitoes in the Yin Hotel a few days ago, and when he returned to Zheng Haoran, he took it out of the suitcase and put it in the blanket for emergencies. He opened the lid and wiped the bite, looked at the cool oil in his hand, and suddenly was stunned: "If you make cool oil to and from takeout, I don't know if you can make money." ”

He was immediately very interested in the question, and took the cool oil and spun it around in his hand.

Such a thin iron sheet should not be available at this time, and even if there is no equipment to press the iron sheet into a small round box, it seems that it is not possible. However, if you can't press it round, you can find some skilled craftsmen to knock it into a square! That's it!

He flipped the cool oil over and looked at the back few lines of small print, which listed the ingredients, functional indications, usage and dosage and other information.

Li Feibai squinted at the ingredients, and it can be seen from the small print on the top that the cool oil is made of menthol, camphor, cinnamon bark oil, eucalyptus oil, and paraffin! But what are these materials? Peppermint is mint, why add a brain? I've heard of camphor, and it seems to be put in the closet to repel insects. I don't know if menthol and camphor are sold in pharmacies? There are also cinnamon bark oil, eucalyptus oil, paraffin, etc., these things are useless if you want to break your head now, just ask at the pharmacy tomorrow.

Li Feibai then went to see the functional indications, and couldn't help but hehe after reading it. In the past, I only knew that cooling oil could relieve itching, but I didn't expect that it could also drive away wind and relieve pain, reduce inflammation and cool. It is also effective for wind heat stroke, external wind chill, burns and scalds. How much can such a good thing sell? It's worth ten cents!

I just don't know if the cost is enough? First of all, how much are these ingredients worth, and secondly, how much does it cost to knock a square tin box, and I have to go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow to ask. If the square iron box is too expensive, it can't be sold for ten cents. But if it is too expensive, I am afraid that it will not be sold.

Alas, the industry is too backward, and even if you think of a way to make money, you don't have the right tools to support it. No matter how you look at this business, it's a bit difficult, it's hard to get into the sky!

He lay down on the bed and thought for a while, then fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up the next morning, I went downstairs to see two dishes, two bowls of porridge, and several steamed buns on the stone table in the courtyard.

Hou Yanmin was holding a wooden board to draw on a cricket on the ground, and when she saw him coming down, she put away the tools and said, "It's really not worth cooking alone, so I made more and eat together!" ”

Li Fei said: "Thank you! "You're welcome, sit down and eat.

Hou Yanmin picked up the bowl and looked at Li Feibai with a smile, and when she saw him finish eating a steamed bun, she asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Li Feibai praised: "The vegetables are fragrant, the steamed buns are fragrant, and the porridge is also fragrant, which is better than the fireman in the Yin Hotel." ”

Hou Yanmin smiled like a flower and said, "Eat more if it's delicious!" As he spoke, he took out a free hand, took a steamed bun and handed it over.

Li Feibai took two bites and said, "Although the food on the street is delicious, it is very tired of eating too much. Why don't we make a deal, I'll give you money, and you cook three meals a day? ”

Hou Yanmin's face changed suddenly, put the bowl on the stone table, and said angrily: "Who do you think of me?" The old mom you hired? Still serve your girl! ”

Li Feibai was inexplicable, and said secretly: "This little girl, no matter how you say it, you will change your face." It's not that I'm afraid that you won't have money to eat, that's why I came up with such a solution! Alas, kindness is not rewarded! Forget it, can't I hide if I can't afford to provoke me? In the future, I will buy some vegetable noodles and put them in the fire room, and when you are hungry, you will cook them yourself, I should go to the street to eat and eat on the street! ”

He stuffed the remaining two mouthfuls of steamed buns into his mouth, and was about to pick up the bowl to drink porridge, when the pavement door panel "snapped" and remembered, the sound was urgent, like a sudden rainstorm in summer.

Hou Yanmin said: "Are the two pranksters here yesterday?" ”

Li Feibai said: "It's okay! The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding! If they dare to break in, I tell them to come in standing and go out sideways. When he got up, he had already put two boning knives in his hands and hidden them in his sleeves, and walked towards the pavement. Hou Yanmin also took a dagger to protect her chest and followed.

Li Feibai walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

Someone outside the door replied, "Brother, open the door quickly, there is something urgent!" ”

Li Feibai said: "It turned out to be Brother Zheng!" He hid the two sharp knives in his sleeve and removed the door panel to open the door. When Hou Yanmin heard that it was not the two people from yesterday, she also hid the dagger behind her waist, and went to see who it was!

Li Feibai took off the door panel, and saw that not only Zheng Haoran but also Li Daning were coming, and said happily: "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Li Daning looked frustrated, and said, "Alas! I'm useless, something went wrong! ”

Li Feibai didn't know what was wrong, so he hurriedly took off the two door panels, couldn't wait to take off all the door panels, and beckoned: "Big brother, Dad, come in and talk!" ”

The two of them entered inside one after the other, and they all saw Hou Yanmin standing at the door of the back door. Originally, the door panel was not taken, and the room was very dim, but after seeing Hou Yanmin, the two of them only felt that their eyes were bright, and even the dim room seemed to be much brighter.

Zheng Haoran smiled evilly and said: "I said that I couldn't keep it yesterday, so I had to come here to sleep, it turned out that the beauty had an appointment!" ”

Li Daning couldn't stop laughing and said, "Son, it's really yours!" Which girl is and how old is she? ”

Hou Yanmin's face flushed, and she turned around and went upstairs. Li Feibai was embarrassed and said, "Dad, big brother, don't talk nonsense, you two don't talk nonsense, this is my tenant!" ”

Zheng Haoran didn't believe it, and said: "You just moved in yesterday, and the door panel hasn't been lowered early in the morning, and there are tenants renting it?" What about liars! ”

Li Feibai didn't want to get entangled in this matter, and said, "Dad, didn't you say something wrong, what the hell is going on!" ”

Li Daning said: "Yes, yes, let's get down to business first!" ”

Li Feibai saw that there was not even a chair in the shop, and it was dim, and it was really not the place to speak, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the backyard to talk." ”

The three of them came to the backyard, each found a small stool to sit down, Li Daning said: "As soon as you leave with the leader of the horse, the villagers will urge me to hire mules and donkeys quickly, and transport the stone lions to the county seat to sell for money." I was also hot-headed, so I rushed to Wangwu Township to hire mules and donkeys, pulled stone lions and other things, and rushed to the city day and night. At midnight this morning, there were only two miles left from the city gate, and the mules were sleepy and lacking, and the big guys asked to rest before walking. I think that when I arrived at the county gate, it was not opened, so I waited for people to rest and rest before leaving. Who knew something was wrong. ”

Li Feibai said secretly: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the goods." "I knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so I didn't rush Li Daning.

Li Daning took a breath and said, "After resting for about half an hour, I saw that at the end of the Yin period and the beginning of the year, the city gate should also be opened. They took one look at my goods, and went on, walking, talking to each other, then turning around and asking where I was from? I said that he was from Pancun in the countryside of Wangwu. They asked me where I was going to pull the goods. I said go to the county seat. They said that the goods going to the county town would be put into storage before dawn. I said that it was time and that the sky was clear. They didn't want to, so they had to ask me to pull the goods to the warehouse. I don't want to argue with them. ”

The so-called West Warehouse is the merchants who come and go from the south to the north, as long as the economic source is on the way, they have to transport the goods to a site for temporary storage. Because this site is in the west of the county, it is commonly known as the West Library. Each county has a large treasury, which is managed by the households in each county. First, it is convenient for businessmen to go to the city to stay. The second and most important thing is to facilitate the check whether the goods are taxed, if not, the tax will be paid, and then the invoice will be released. Of course, regardless of whether you pay taxes or not, you have to pay a certain venue fee for storing goods overnight.

Local vendors, on the other hand, do not need to store their goods in the West Warehouse, let alone hand over their taxes to the West Warehouse, and their taxes are collected by the Tax Bureau. So the two men must put the local goods in the Xida warehouse, just to extort two money.
