Chapter 70: Bai Yushu

Wu Gen and Chu Ji lived in Guanxi City, the place where the two lived was located on the south side of the palace, but not far from the city gate, out of the palace gate, turn a street.

This place is not for the two of them to live alone, there are already some strange people recruited by the palace, all of them chattering, and there is very little contact with each other.

Wu Gan divided a small courtyard, the location is not bad, next to a small pond, the pond is still there, and there are herring fish sliding across the water from time to time.

Finally have a place to live, and the next thing is to quickly buy a bunch of clothes and food for Chu Ji. The little girl suddenly came here from a desolate place like Starfall Plain, and she felt new about everything, and wanted to taste everything.

Wu Gan, who picks and searches on weekdays, can be said to give and ask for Chuji, no matter how expensive or low, one word, buy. In the end, the little girl was a little embarrassed to stop the crazy street sweeping trip.

It wasn't until the evening that the two reluctantly walked back. Wu Jian carried a large bag of clothes in his left hand, all kinds of snacks in his right hand, a paper bag with peach crisp in his mouth, and Chu Ji sitting on his neck was still adding a sugar gourd with relish.

In the evening, when the pleasure of squandering passed, Wu Yan sat in the room, looked at the deflated silver bag, and hugged his head and fell into deep thought.

Poor.

Since entering Dingyuan City, Wu Jian has had no extra money, and can only live on his meager income. Along the way, there was no progress, and it was purely empty.

We are not like what is mentioned in the book, the shot is millions of taels of silver, and an ordinary person naturally has to think about his livelihood.

In the past, when one person was full, the whole family was not hungry, so there was no need to worry. But now there is Chu Ji to raise, just like every new parent, I suddenly found that raising a child is so expensive.

After moving in, Wu Gen had already inquired that as a guest, he could have a subsidy of thirty taels per month, and the rest would have additional income when there were tasks.

Originally, I hoped that Chu Ji would become a noble person and be able to fill in some income for the poor life, but this is not something that can be canonized in the short term.

Chu Ji looked at Wu Gen cautiously, although she didn't have the concept of money yet, but when she watched Wu Gen exchange so many things for small hard bumps during the day, she knew that this place was not as good as a barren tomb, and she could get it by going out to hunt.

Chu Ji was very sensitive to changes in people's hearts, and pointed to the silver bag and asked timidly: "Brother, this thing is gone, is it that we can't eat, if not, let's go hunting." ”

Wu Yan pressed the sorrow in his heart and touched his head, "Don't worry, my brother has his own way." ”

At night, after Chu Ji fell asleep, Wu Yan sat at the table and thought about ways to make money. Since I was a child, I only robbed this method, so it's hard to go out and block the road tonight.

It's difficult, this is the palace, I'm afraid I have to be taken down before I make a move. As the so-called penny is difficult to defeat the hero, hesitating, Wu Qian suddenly saw a small piece of copper slip, which was given by Zhao Ling on the edge of the pond that day, saying what is the method of making tofu.

I took it and looked at it, and the words on it were mottled and incomplete, although they were ancient texts, they were vaguely recognizable. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Yan suddenly slapped his head, he could sell tofu, this kind of thing had not come out here, and he thought it would sell well.

The next day, Wu Gan said that he would do it, and according to the copper Jane, he went out to find a two-foot square stone mill, which can grind millet, and it should not be a problem to grind beans.

I bought a few catties of beans and soaked them in water overnight, and the beans swelled. Spoonfuls were poured into the stone eye in the grinding disc, and grabbing the handle on the grinding disc, Wu Yan turned it vigorously. Soon, milky white juice flowed out of the grinding discs.

Collect the juice and pour it into an iron pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. After boiling, according to the copper Jane, point in the brine. Wu Gan didn't know how to prepare this brine, so he just said roughly "take the white stone and grind the powder water to adjust it."

For the sake of this broken Laoshizi brine, Wu Gen traveled all over the city, picked up large and small stones and came back, and smashed them into powder little by little.

After trying it many times, only a stone in the valley in Yangshan outside the city could be used, and the bean juice slowly solidified.

Waiting to press the stone and taste it, Wu Gan's face turned a little blue, what the hell is this, and asked Tianzong if the food was lacking salt and vinegar, eating this obscure and sticky thing.

It's Chu Ji, eat this bowl of green and yellow things cleanly, this stupid child, it is estimated that he has never eaten anything good since he was a child, but anything that can be eaten can be eaten.

After reading the copper slip carefully, I finally understood that the slurry needed to be filtered. In desperation, Wu Gen had to tear off a thin mosquito net, carefully filter the slurry twice, and finally, the white and delicate tofu appeared in front of him.

Savor a piece carefully, and the fragrance of the beans has a hint of sweetness. Beautiful, very beautiful, ask Tianzong Cheng not to deceive me.

The made tofu was sent to the neighbors to taste, these warlocks and strangers who are quite high on weekdays, although they disdain this new guest, but when they saw the first glow of the water spirit, their big eyes flashed and were full of pleading, and after barely eating a bite, they actually moved their index fingers, and they were all delicious.

What's more, when he asked about the origin of his name, he thought that the copper slip was found in the Danfang of Wentianzong, and the old god Wu Yan said: "The name of this thing is Bai Yushu, which is an occasional result of my alchemy, and it is not easy to make it." You see that he is as white as jade, soft as fat, and as good as a belly, which can be broken by blowing, and can moisten the body by eating, prolong life, greatly increase his strength, and not invade ...... poisons."

After boasting, the tofu in his hand is almost a treasure in the world.

When these people heard this, they were skeptical, but it was indeed delicious, and the world had never seen it, so some people tried to ask for it. Wu Gan's face was unfathomable, "This benevolent brother, at first glance, is a person who knows the goods, this thing is extremely complicated, like alchemy, it is not 7749 days, it is really rare......"

"How much can I sell." Someone said impatiently.

Wu Yan gritted his teeth, his face ached, "For the sake of fellow customers, five taels of silver is a tael, but you can't buy ten taels of silver outside." ”

It's still okay to taste this delicacy for five taels of silver, these people bought it one after another, and soon, after a few yards, the tofu was swept away.

At night, looking at the silver in vain, Wu Yan smirked and hugged Chu Ji, "We have money." "This money comes faster than selling smuggled salt, and the key is to operate exclusively.

Early the next morning, Wu Gen went out early and rented a storefront by the lake not far from the palace. I also thought about it for a long time here, although the rent is a little more expensive, but most of the nobles in the city live here. What he sells is unique in the world, and what he earns is the money of these nobles, where can ordinary people eat such delicious.

Do you do business, pay attention to quality, price, mounting, Wu Gan has spilled all the silver in his pocket these days, and has decorated the storefront.

An alchemy furnace is placed inside, implying the origin of the things sold. There is incense against the wall, and the house is full of fragrant fragrance. Several delicate square tables are placed in the middle of the room, and delicate and small plain white jade embryo blue and white porcelain dishes are placed on them. Flowers and plants such as calamus, bamboo, orchid, bowl lotus and so on are placed all around, which is full of ancient meaning.

In order to render the atmosphere, he even picked two singers, one stroked Yaoqin, all the tofu is fair-skinned, quite pleasing to the eye.

After all this was done, Wu Gen sat in the store with a whisk in his hand, looking like a master. and let the mascot of Chu Ji sit at the door to attract visitors.

A gong sounds, and a new store opens.

The sound of the faint piano surrounds the beam, and the fragrance is refreshing, and it is a good and elegant atmosphere.

Wu Yan sat in the store, looking at the old god, but in fact, he was panicked. This is all the belongings, if no one cares, then he and Chu Ji will have to borrow money to live.

After a morning, no one came to the door, and there was an endless stream of gorgeously dressed nobles at the door, and they left with a little probe. White jade? What kind of thing, putting such a shelf, is not a liar.

Near noon, Wu Yan had already drunk the seventh pot of tea, and finally a person walked in, holding a folding fan, in a leisurely manner, glanced at Chu Ji who was napping, and said, "Bai Yushu? What is this, take it and see it. Although the tone is light, it is quite neutral, and it is obviously a person who has been in a high position for a long time.

Finally came to live, Wu Gen almost wanted to cry, and gently waved the dust, "This adult, what is Bai Yushu, I have a thousand words, it is better to give it a try than an adult." Come on, hand it over. ”

The singer, who specializes in cutting tofu, took out a small dish, cut a finger-wide slice of tofu, and gently sliced it with a hosta. Poured some sesame oil, sprinkled a few grains of salt on his fingers, and garnished with a few herbs, and presented it with trembling hands.

The man took a silver spoon, scooped up a piece and tasted it, and after tasting it for a long time, Fang let out a sigh, "This thing is extraordinary, let's have some more." ”

Wu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, Bai Yushu is not easy to come by, and it can't be achieved without refining it in seventy-seven or forty days." The output is very small, so the rules of the small shop are that each person can only eat one plate. Today, the adults have to praise it, and the small ones have the courage to break the rules once, such as jade, and then serve a plate, and only charge one piece of money. ”

"Oh, there is such a saying, dare to ask how much is a plate." The man asked interestingly.

"Ten taels of silver, just a small profit." Wu Yan let out a long sigh, and kept looking at the other party out of the corner of his eyes, for fear that the other party would be too expensive.

"Ten taels of silver, well, it's a little less. In this way, I will not take advantage of you, two plates of one hundred taels of silver, and the right to congratulate the opening of a new store. The man finished eating two plates, still unsatisfied, and glanced at the porcelain plate where the tofu was placed.

Soon a servant handed over a hundred taels of silver, and when he took the silver, Wu Gan's forehead was bruised, and it was developed, and a plate of tofu rose five times in the future, fifty taels of silver.

Sure enough, his taste is still lower, and these nobles can't use common sense. What is a nobleman, a nobleman is to eat the most expensive everything and not the best.

Wu Gen deeply reflected on himself, and sure enough, what came out of the bandit village was that the pattern was too small, and he decided that the business purpose of the small shop in the future was not to seek the best but the most expensive.

Someone starts, and the business behind is naturally booming, and customers enter from time to time. Such delicious, coupled with the service of beautiful women, the sound of the piano, and the naΓ―ve early glow of jade, in less than an hour, today's inventory was swept away.

With this beginning, Bai Yushu's name quickly started in Guanxi City.

If you don't eat white jade, even if you are a nobleman, it is in vain. Soon, such nursery rhymes also spread in the city of sunset viewing. Needless to say, this is another Wu Gan's method, an old routine.

On this day, Wu Yan was busy in the store, and a few people came outside the door, and the leader was Zhao Ling.

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him, waving his hand behind his back, signaling the singer named Ruyu to hurriedly hand over a plate of tofu, "I don't know if the master Weng has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please try the white jade in our store." ”

Zhao Ling's face was a little ugly, "Wu Gan, you are my personal minister, can't the palace support you, why do you do such a cheap thing." ”

The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense, and several customers who were sitting at the table shaking their heads hurriedly walked out of the store when they saw that the situation was wrong.

"Don't go, you haven't paid yet." Wu Gen chased out like a vicious tiger.

"Wu Gan, you get back for me."
