The corners of Chen Lihua's mouth twitched, and she still vaguely remembered her original words: "Building water conservancy costs a lot of money, and you go to buy some cane sugar, I will be of great use." ”

…… There must have been a misinterpretation of the word "a little" between the two of them.

"You buy so much sugar, lonely ...... Did I give you enough money? Chen Lihua couldn't help asking.

The young man became more and more restrained, and said shyly:

"You don't need Your Highness to break the bank, just a few hundred taels of silver, this little money, my Zhao family can still afford it."

Rich dog, then you are really rich. Not to mention Chen Lihua's inner activities, Pei Qingyu saw that the big vat blocked the yard tightly, and there was no place for her to practice swords, so she stepped forward unhappily, looked at the vat full of black sugar, and asked:

"Your Highness has gone to great lengths to get so much brown sugar, why is it going to this point?"

Chen Lihua looked at so much sucrose, was in a good mood, and said:

"Make money."

"Your Highness is shy? If you are short of money, you can whisper that you can fly the pigeon to pass the book to my sect and ask for it. Not to mention 10,000 taels of silver, thousands of taels can still be taken out casually. ”

Pei said lightly.

Su Qingyun's face was ugly for a while, the Drunken Spring Pavilion was in a critical moment at this time, and there was already a shortage of funds, although it was not difficult to take out a thousand taels of silver, but the days after that would undoubtedly be even more difficult. She snorted for a long time before she exhaled angrily: "If Your Highness wants something rare, just tell us that our Drunken Spring Pavilion is all over the world, unlike a certain sword tower in a safe corner, any rare treasures, as long as we know the location, we can take it." ”

Chen Lihua looked at the angry two, and first whispered to Pei:

"Don't say thousands of taels, even if it's tens of thousands of taels? But if I plan to hire someone to build a water conservancy, it may cost a hundred taels of silver a day, and a thousand taels is only ten days' use, after it is exhausted, can your sect take out so much more? ”

Pei whispered and puffed out his cheeks, wanting to say, "No problem! But after thinking about it, the sect was not her alone, and she lowered her head unwillingly.

"The so-called rare treasures are all found in inaccessible places, and every time you get one, it costs a lot of manpower and financial resources. How much can you pay for me? Shouldn't I be paid for it? ”

Su Qingyun turned his head and said no more.

"With your own hands, you can earn your own wealth and support yourself, and this kind of money can only be regarded as having a clear conscience when you spend it, isn't it? I, Chen Lihua, get everything by myself, and never ask for others! ”

Seeing the eyes of the two of them shining and looking thoughtful, Chen Lihua was proud for a while, and said to the system that the two of them were fooled:

"System, bring up the recipe you said."

"Don't you ask for help?"

"Do you have to skin it?"

Pei whispered and couldn't help asking:

"What are you going to do?"

"One of you plugs the bottom of the funnel and props it up on the empty tank, and the other pours the syrup into it." Chen Lihua looked at the manual given by the system and spoke step by step.

After the two girls did so, the little guy on the side poured the reconciled yellow muddy water into it, and the yellow muddy water dripped down the funnel, and a miracle appeared. The sucrose that originally looked dirty became as white as snow, and the impurities that were originally mixed in it disappeared.

"This is ......," the second daughter exclaimed in suppressed exclamation, while the servants on the side exploded.

"It's a miracle ......"

"Incredible......

"How much do you think this sugar can cost?" Seeing that almost everyone around gave out a surprised admiration, the smugness on Chen Lihua's face was about to be uncontrollable.

Pei Qingyu stretched out her little finger and rubbed it lightly, tasted it carefully, and found that the entrance was sweet, and it did not have a strange taste like the previous sucrose, the sugar was sweet and pure, and there was no other peculiar smell, she reached out again and pinched a little, tasted and said:

"This kind of sugar, even if it costs two pieces of silver, I am willing."

Chen Lihua was full of spirits: "Since this is the case, then even if I sell it for one tael of silver for one penny of sugar, a thousand catties here is one hundred thousand taels of silver." You say, is it like this to make money, or will you go back to the sect and plead in a low voice? ”

Zhao Shizhen on the side really couldn't listen to it, none of these three eldest ladies had ever been to the market to buy and sell goods, even if they had been to the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, it was estimated that they were all masters who never asked the price when they saw what they saw, and none of them knew what the prices were now. If you count two dollars of sugar, even if you eat it for a month, you will go bankrupt.

The Song Dynasty's "Food and Goods Chronicles" recorded that "before Xi and Feng, rice and stone were only six or seven hundred", and the "Song Historical Official Chronicles" said that "each bucket (rice) is worth thirty yuan". A tael of silver is less than one and a half stones, and more is three stones of grain. The weight of one stone is generally believed to be around 118 catties.

Although it was the Song Dynasty and this was the Jin Dynasty, the purchasing power of ancient silver can also be known a little bit.

Sisters, you have sold hundreds of catties of rice for a penny of sugar, who can afford it......

Zhao Shizhen stepped forward to explain the prices in the market, Chen Lihua was exposed, and his face remained unchanged and said: "I already knew it." A penny of sugar and a tael of silver, jokingly. ”

Su Qingyun glanced at her, this time she saw that Chen Lihua didn't know anything about business, and after being exposed by Zhao Shizhen, she was purely holding on, and she accidentally became literate even when she spoke. In her heart, she was even more sure of her previous judgment, although the Hidden World Sect was rich and rich, but after all, it was isolated from the world, so Chen Lihua was no longer omnipotent in the face of these current affairs and people's livelihood, because these Hidden World Sects could not teach her.

Chen Lihua, who has always been omnipotent, was embarrassed to hold on any longer after she accidentally showed her embarrassment, and asked Zhao Shizhen directly and humbly. "If Zhao Gongzi goes to sell these white sugars, how should he act, and how much profit will he make?"

Zhao Shizhen pondered and said: "White sugar is delicious, and the price is very expensive, it is not a red and white celebration, and there will not be too many people who will buy it." On the contrary, those restaurants are already making money every day, and the competition is fierce, if they send people to secretly go to secretly dump it, the sugar is precious, and it can not be obtained again, and they will purchase it on a large scale to suppress the opponent. After the restaurant is purchased, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city will taste the taste of white sugar, and it must be difficult to eat ordinary cane sugar. After that, and then secretly contact the housekeepers to sell sugar, at this time adults know its taste, will not be discouraged by high prices, will also compete to buy, when the time comes, the market is open, not to say a thousand catties, even if it is a thousand catties, do not worry about selling. One penny of white sugar, priced at about 20 Wen, is the top of the sky. ”

Chen Lihua exclaimed in her heart, she just asked casually and asked for a step, who knew a set of plans and blurted out. Although some of these places are not mature, they are far better than what I originally envisioned to go to the rally and stand and shout and sell. Pei whispered and counted with his little hands, and only hesitated for a long time before he said:

In this way, this pile of white sugar is only about two thousand taels. Twenty wen is inevitably too cheap. ”

Zhao Shizhen smiled bitterly, "Sister Yu, this kind of condiment is not a finished product, but a raw material, how can the price go up?" ”
