Chapter 63: The Old Lady's Gifts

Before the matter was over, the old lady clapped her hands, and a large group of people followed her walked in at once, each with a plate.

When they put these plates on the table, Li Hang couldn't help but gasp.

"I heard that Li Xiucai is running a private school, and the four treasures of the study room or something, with Li Xiucai's ability, I will definitely be able to buy them myself, but I am afraid that these books are not easy to buy!" As she spoke, the old lady opened one of the books.

"Thirty-six books, which record all the examination papers of the imperial examination scholars since the opening of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty!" The old lady said as she opened the books one by one.

The records here are not only the top three exam papers, but also some other references with good results.

"The old lady has a heart!" Li Hang flipped through these books with a smile and saluted the old lady, this thing is really a good thing, these things can't be bought with money, it can be said that this thing is the best thing for readers, and this thing is also very helpful to Li Hang, who is studying the dispute between the north and the south and has a certain number of signs.

This is equivalent to a high school student's three or five exercises.

As soon as Mrs. Su waved her hand, her crane-haired and childish appearance looked quite kind, and the hat on her head was inlaid with an emerald, which looked very noble, not to mention the gold and silver jewelry on her body.

Li Hang could only see these things clearly when he got closer.

However, Mrs. Su is estimated to be tired enough.

"This is really a great gift!"

Li Hang smiled and asked his apprentice to bring out some ice cubes from the cellar in the house.

As soon as the summer sun was scorching, Mrs. Su was first overjoyed, and then looked at Li Hang in some surprise. "I didn't expect Li Xiucai to have such a skill in hiding ice!"

If large families want to enjoy ice cubes in this hot summer, they can only use ice cubes hidden in winter, which is actually a habit only in large households, hiding ice cubes in cellars or deep wells, and doing a good job of heat preservation measures, so that these ice cubes can still be used in summer.

This may be the authentic deep well ice.

Li Hang smiled and beckoned to Hao Jun, who followed a few other disciples to bring up the delicious food.

"I've long heard that Li Xiucai is proficient in cooking, but I didn't expect to be so proficient, it seems that I, an old woman, really have to have a good taste." As soon as the dishes on this table were served, they made everyone's eyes shine.

Not to mention the crystal clear scraped cold powder, the cold bean skin on the side one by one, and the delicate steamed eggs on the side are all appetizing.

Vegetables such as vinegar-soaked black fungus and boiled bracken have opened the old lady's eyes, and they have really never eaten these dishes on this table, at least even those people in the Su family's mansion have never eaten these dishes.

Li Hang didn't serve those greasy enough dishes, anyway, the main dish must be oily enough, a taro steamed pork and a sauerkraut steamed pork. As long as it is steamed for a long time, the elderly can eat it.

Of course, what's more important?

What's more, the old lady has never eaten this dish.

Su Qiang, the eldest son of the Su family on the side, saw something. "It's all ...... Pork? ”

"Yes! If you have processed it and are not fishy, you can eat it with confidence! ”

As soon as Li Hang finished speaking, Zhao Haikuo on the side ate it, stuffing meat into his mouth, and only this Li Hang.

"You are a bastard, you don't make this kind of delicious food when Lao Tzu is here, you only do it when Mrs. Su comes!"

"It's a big dish! What do you eat on weekdays, not to mention that you eat a lot of dishes these days! ”

Li Hang picked up a piece of taro and put it in his mouth, it was just right!

Old Mrs. Su glanced at Zhao Haikuo on the side, although they despised these martial artists on weekdays and felt that they were rough people, but at this time, they still had to show respect because they wanted to cooperate.

Try to clip a chopstick.

The Su family secretly decided that they would never eat it after taking a bite!

It's good to be polite about this kind of thing!

But just after this bite of taro steamed meat, even the old lady Su, who was old and didn't have a very good appetite, was stunned.

The soft and glutinous taro absorbs the oil of the meat, and the aroma of the taro plus the aroma of the meat, coupled with the powdery feeling of the taro itself, is simply a feeling that has never been felt before.

Try the sauerkraut steamed pork again, the oiliness of the meat is cleverly dissolved by the sauerkraut, and the sauerkraut absorbs the oil and becomes more delicious.

The steamed, melt-in-your-mouth meat is literally enough to swallow their tongues.

Try those scraped cold noodles and cold salad again, and Mrs. Su feels that her own cooks may not be as good as Li Hang's skills. "Li Xiucai, I'm afraid that your skills can't be compared to the chef of Jinling's No. 1 Restaurant!"

Mrs. Su's favorite is steamed eggs.

However, her son and grandchildren prefer cold dishes.

After the old lady ate two bowls of steamed eggs, she looked at Li Hang curiously. "Li Xiucai, I don't know the soap business......"

"The soap business, my idea is to let the Su family in."

Zhao Haikuo coughed dissatisfiedly on the side, and Li Hang sighed at this time, this wax general is small-minded!

"The soap business is very complicated, we need a lot of raw materials, and the production process is also in my hands, in fact, it doesn't matter if the Su family doesn't come, if it's just me cooperating with the Zhao family, it's still okay to make a little money!"

Li Hang glanced at Mrs. Su and saw that she had no unusual expression, so he continued.

"But that's a waste! If you want to make money, all these soaps will be sold to Jinling City, it is easy to cause a large number of goods to the market impact of the entire Jinling City, so that although the soap is two through one, if a large number of enter, it is easy to cause its value is not high! If the people of the Su family join in, this pattern can change! ”

Old Mrs. Su frowned, even if she had been in business all her life, she didn't notice the difference between joining and not joining.

At most, I want to get some cheap raw materials from the Su family!

Li Hang narrowed his eyes and pointed to the north. "Nomads are the best places for us to scrape money!"

"Why? Li Xiucai, you must know that the imperial court has issued a ban now, and no trade is allowed in the north, otherwise it will be a collaborator! Mrs. Su said with a serious face.

In order to prevent these merchants from trading some contraband to the nomads in the north, especially weapons and food, the Da Ying Dynasty has always prohibited the trade with the nomads in the north, so as long as they trade, they will definitely be caught by the border army.

"Huh! That's not what you say, what is soap? I have enough materials to have as much as I want, and if I can exchange these things for horses in their hands, then it's worth it! ”

"Why?" Zhao Haikuo said coldly.

"Are you asking why they bought it, or why did they give us horses?"

"Ask them all!" Zhao Haikuo was stationed at the border during the era, and he had a deep enmity with these nomads, whether it was the Iron Tartar tribe or other tribes, they were in fact their enemies.

If Li Hang wants to make a deal with the enemy, the Zhao family will inevitably not allow it.

It is estimated that Zhao Haikuo did not see this. "The reason why we want to sell them is because we need horses, and the reason why they will buy them is because this thing is used by our dignitaries, and those nomads on the grassland also have class stratification, and their leaders are completely different from the people below, but because of the lack of living materials, the gap between their classes cannot be pulled out, that is to say, I eat boiled meat, and you, as a leader, only eat two bowls at most, can this open the gap? But what if they can use the things used by the dignitaries of Jinling City? ”

Seeing that Zhao Haikuo was still a little confused, Li Hang leaned on the backrest. "From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift!"
