Lu Yingfang said with a smile: "No, the shopkeeper Zeng, time is running out, and the old body needs to cut through the mess quickly." If you don't feel like you can be the master, you can buy recipes, which are much less expensive. "In my memory, this eldest princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp! The emperor was young, and she even personally led the troops to the battle, which can be described as an iron lady! Now she has a lot of industry, and the recipe for ice cubes must be a good profit for her. If the eldest princess wants to buy it forcefully, she can't stop it!

Zeng Zhu's face turned red suddenly, he was the shopkeeper of the No. 1 restaurant in the capital, if even these ordinary businessmen could come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if he didn't come forward, I was afraid that the eldest princess would find out about it later and kill him alive.

This method of ice making will definitely make a lot of money, and the restaurant can use unlimited ice cubes in the future, and it will be extremely cool all summer! And when the eldest princess uses ice in the future, she will think that this is his credit. Maybe the eldest princess will sell the ice to the palace, so won't he show his face in front of the emperor?

The more Zeng Zhu thought about it, the more excited he became, but ......

"Old lady, I'm going to buy an ice-making recipe next!" Zeng Zhu said loudly, his eyes were firm, and he seemed to have obtained the ice-making recipe.

"I'm going to buy it too."

"I'm going to buy it too."

"I'm going to buy it too."

……

Except for Dr. Li, everyone spoke.

Lu Yingfang invited them to move to another side hall, where the furnishings were like a single-seater classroom, and there were pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

Lu Yingfang stood in front and said to them: "Please take a seat, and write on the paper the price of the method of making ice, and the highest price will be won." ”

The wrinkles on Ye Dangjia's forehead were about to kill the mosquito, his white beard trembled, and his hands trembled with it. How much silver should I write? Bei Dinghou only owes Buzhuang 30,000 taels of silver, and with his current financial resources, plus the amount that the clansmen can borrow, I am afraid that he can really only come up with more than 600,000 taels of silver. If he really writes more than 600,000 silver, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the recipe, after all, I am afraid that his financial resources are the weakest here, and the capital turnover is the slowest.

Su Dangjia opened a silver building, and her heart was clear, this ice-making was of little use to her, if she spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, in addition to dedicating it to the powerful, what other good way to make money?

And the biggest creditor is the head of the three merchant houses, because they are merchants, they have a lot of money at hand, plus the arrears, the amount of silver that needs to be taken out at present is not much.

How should I fill in this price? Do you want to ensure that you can get the prescription without being wronged?

Lu Yingfang didn't plan to give them too much time: "Biling lights incense, you should write the price in a quarter of an hour." The minimum cannot exceed 500,000 taels. The old man also has a prescription to give to Renxin Pharmacy, and the person with the highest bid will get 20% of the profit in the first five years. ”

Lu Yingfang gave them enough time to think, and finally let them reveal the answer.

The top four in pricing are, Zeng Zhu 800,000 taels of silver, Luo Dangjia 780,000 silver, Huang Dangjia 760,000 silver, and Peng Dangjia 740,000 taels of silver. Three million and eighty thousand pieces of silver.

At this time, Tian's mother led a man into the door.

The man was dressed in fine clothes and was about thirty years old.

Zeng Zhu was the first to stand up and salute: "General Zhuangwu." ”

Su Dangjia also stood up and saluted suddenly: "It turned out to be General Zeng!" ”

This is Zeng Yong, the son of Zeng Ge Lao. Zeng Yong is now a fourth-rank official, and "Zhuangwu General" is an official position. Zeng Ge is always a civil official, but the youngest son Zeng Yong likes to dance knives and guns, and renamed himself "Zeng Yong", and even secretly followed the army to the battlefield, so he had the opportunity to be rescued by Lan Rongcheng.

The rest of the people stood up and saluted.

Zeng Zhu panicked in his heart, fortunately he didn't force it in the name of the eldest princess just now, otherwise if Zeng Ge Lao sued him, the eldest princess would definitely be furious.

Zeng Yong politely saluted Lu Yingfang: "Old lady." ”

Anyway, Lan Rongcheng, the second master of the Lan Mansion, had saved him on the battlefield, and he couldn't refuse the invitation of the Lan family at this time.

With Zeng Yong as a guarantee, this debt handover was very smooth. When the families sent someone to retrieve the silver ticket, the matter was settled.

An hour later, in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow costume frowned and looked at the silver ticket and two thin pieces of paper on the desk.

Elder Zeng Ge said to him: "Old Lady Lan found the ancient recipe for making ice, sold it for three million and eighty thousand silver, paid off the arrears, and left seven hundred thousand silver. The old lady said, and the silver was handed over to the emperor. ”

Zeng Ge always knew, in fact, the Lan family suddenly repaired the Hou Mansion because the emperor sent someone to be a lobbyist in front of Lan Rongqi to lure him to spend money. Although the emperor had not yet ascended the throne at that time, he had already thought of ways to rectify people. The emperor also gave them three days to leave Beijing, and deliberately let people come to collect debts, just to embarrass them.

Now that the Lan family has packed up their things, they have inexplicably got the recipe for making ice, and they have sold it for a lot of money, and the extra money has been returned to the emperor, which is an inexplicable slap in the face.

The emperor's face was cloudy, and he finally picked up the paper on the table.

Zeng Ge Lao said again: "This is Xiao'er going to Lan Mansion to be a witness, and Mrs. Lan is giving you a way to make soy sauce." The child ate the dish made of soy sauce and thought it tasted good. ”

The emperor patiently looked at the next one, and it was actually a recipe.

Dongpo meat wants to choose the pork that has been increded? How do you make a cake? Whip the egg whites...... What kind of mess is this?

The emperor snorted coldly: "It will take at least half a year for the soy sauce to be made, and the old lady took it out today, so it can be seen that this recipe has long been in her hands." ”

Zeng Ge had the heart to defend it, so he could only say helplessly: "The old lady is willing to offer a recipe and have more delicious food." ”

The method of making ice is a recipe that has just been turned out, this soy sauce must have been made a long time ago, and now it is forcing people to pay tribute, begging to let it go, what do you want to do?

When Lu Yingfang bought soy sauce in the system mall, she thought that the soy sauce recipe could be sacrificed. In the future, when the emperor eats delicious food, he will think of their goodness, hehe! But always brush the sense of presence.

Zeng Ge scolded the old man, and still said respectfully: "This old lady Lan is amazing, she not only found a recipe for making ice, but also found three prescriptions, all of which were given to Renxin Medicine, and one recipe was given for free by throwing stones to ask for directions." A recipe was given to Renxin Pharmacy, but 20% of the profits within five years should be given to Zeng Zhu of Deqing Restaurant. The last recipe was given to Renxin Yaotang, asking them to sell it to the Youzhou army for three years at 30% below the market price. ”

"Deqing Restaurant seems to be my aunt's property." The Emperor whispered, and suddenly, he clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! This old lady Lan is a character! It's a pity that Lan Rongqi's stupid person is not like her. ”

"You say, the old lady wants to sell the ice-making method to the four families, is she afraid that she will be wiped out?" The emperor suddenly said a word, and Zeng Ge Lao's heart froze.

When Zeng Yong came back, he had already discussed it with him.

The father and son also thought that the old lady Lan was afraid of selling to a family, and if she was killed on the way, only the only seller knew about this ice-making method. Now that four families have bought this recipe, there is no need to destroy the Lan family.

The emperor didn't wait for Zeng Ge Lao to answer, and a playful look flashed in his eyes: "This old lady Lan is not a stupid person, what are you going to Youzhou to do this time?" ”

Last night, everyone in the Beiding Houfu knew that the old lady had decided to go to Youzhou, and the news naturally reached the ears of the emperor who was concerned about the Blue Mansion.

The emperor wondered last night, this old lady was so angry, why didn't she go back to the ancestral house in Shuzhou, but ran to find her youngest son?

Now it seems that the old lady has calculated so clearly.

The prescription sent and ten years of free ice attracted the Renxin Pharmacy, the twenty percent profit of the five-year prescription won over his aunt Princess Ruining, and the medicine below the market price of thirty percent attracted the Youzhou army, according to General Song Guan's temper, not only will he take care of Lan Ronghe, but also let them live comfortably in Youzhou.

No matter how comfortable it is, it's better to go back to the ancestral house, there are more than a dozen people in the Lan family, there are many old and young, and it's not easy to go to Youzhou! The cold weather in Youzhou is enough to choke.

What is this old lady Lan doing in Youzhou? Even if a Beijing official goes to Youzhou, he rarely brings his family with him, because the climate there is indeed difficult to adapt.

Forget it, the emperor didn't bother to think about it. Although this method of making ice was not offered, the extra silver tickets were delivered, and the recipe was also delivered. This is afraid that he will not hesitate!

Zeng Ge Lao saw that the emperor's face was no longer gloomy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor was in a good mood: "In this way, they have many female dependents, and I allow them to fall behind the army that sends grain and grass to advance, so as not to make the road unpeaceful." ”

Zeng Ge Lao was completely relieved, and the emperor's words made his heart rise again.

"How many ancient recipes did you say the Lan family had found?"

But the emperor smiled when he thought about it, and shook the silver ticket on the table: "That's it, just let Old Lady Lan toss, come to think of it, she won't forget me if she has good things!" ”

Zeng Ge Lao's heart sank, and he hurriedly responded: "The minister thinks so too." ”

When Lu Yingfang heard the message sent by Zeng Yong, she couldn't cry or laugh. It turned out that the inexplicable prescription in his hand had been remembered by the emperor! Fortunately, the emperor agreed to let them go with the army that was escorting the grain and grass, so that their safety was guaranteed. It's just going to be very slow, very slow.

Sun was so angry that she was about to tear the veil to pieces, and she had just sent someone to hand over the things that Lan Rong had turned, as well as her own land deeds and Zhuangzi's contracts, to the old lady, and in a blink of an eye, she heard that the old lady had sold the method of making ice and offered 700,000 silver to the emperor. What about her land deeds and title deeds?

If the dead old woman can get the money, why do she need three rooms of silver? Her dowry!

Lan Rong was a little scared in his heart, his mother probably had evil them!

Lan Rong turned and wailed, there was no loss in this house, but the third room suffered the biggest loss! He collected unique books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as those precious inkstones.

Sun's eyes rolled, and he looked at Lan Rong sharply: "You say, does my mother have any other recipes in her hand?" "It's time to split up, aren't they losing too much?

Lan Rong suddenly saw hope and pulled Sun: "Quick, let's go and apologize to our mother." ”
