She sat in the house and calculated an account, according to the price of this dynasty, a pound of fat pork is about more than 20 yuan, can boil out a can of oil, a pot of wine is a little more expensive, it may take more than 100 yuan, a little salt water is considered two yuan, the plant ash is ignored, the total cost is less than 200 yuan, but ten pieces of soap are made...... No, more than ten, because she used a bamboo tube to solidify, replaced with a unique mold, it is estimated that she can produce about thirty pieces of soap.

As far as she knows, the price of ordinary bath beans on the market is at least about three or four hundred yuan, and because bath beans are exclusively for the upper class nobles, spices and herbs are generally added, and the price of a bath bean can be more than one or two silver, and the price of some unique fragrances will rise.

Her decontamination ability is much stronger than that of bath beans, and she will definitely be able to sell it for half a tael of silver, and she will think of adding various fragrances to make the same high-quality soap as in the mall, and the price can be doubled.

There is also a soap precipitate after the extraction, the remaining thing is crude glycerin, which can be used as the most primitive skin care products, and after the market is developed, it is also a profitable business.

Gu Qing silently pondered in his heart.

The reason why she started a new business was that the family really needed this thing, and second, she promised that Li Zheng would lead the whole village to make a fortune.

The business of pastries and lo-mei can only be handed over to a family, not the whole village, and only by opening a workshop and all-round development can the whole village be driven.

"Is Gu Niangzi at home?" Aunt Zhao stood at the door, and when she saw Gu Qing sitting in the courtyard, she hurriedly handed over a bamboo basket.

"It's not dawn yet, the dog egg skin child followed the children in the village to the river to touch the fish, I said a long time ago, the water in the river has just risen, how can there be any fish, this kid has to go, the fish has not been touched, picked up a lot of snails, we will not do this thing, Gu Niangzi, if you can do it, take it all back."

This bamboo basket is full of snails, and it is at least five or six catties to carry.

Gu Qing's eyes lit up: "Then I'm welcome, I'll send you a bowl when the meeting is ready." ”

In the last life, I ate supper in the snack street, and the snail was a must-order, and the snail was really the more I ate it, the more I wanted to eat, and I couldn't stop at all.

She couldn't help but lick her lips.

When he got home, Gu Qing immediately began to deal with the snails.

Gu Yu's head leaned over: "Eldest sister, this thing smells very mudy, do you want to put some mint leaves?" ”

Gu Qing was surprised: "We still have mint here?" ”

She always thought that peppermint was a modern product, but she didn't expect it to exist in ancient times.

Gu Yu nodded: "Last year, Brother Yang came back from touching these snails in the river, and Brother Han just put mint to cover the muddy smell, but it is still not very delicious, but if the eldest sister teaches Brother Han to make it, it should be delicious." ”

Brother Han's cooking is very delicious now, and he relies on the guidance of the eldest sister, if he didn't have the eldest sister to tell him the steps, his cooking skills would not have improved by leaps and bounds.

Gu Qing asked Gu Yu to go to the mountains to pick mint leaves, then clean the snails over and over again, and finally put a drop of oil into them, so that the snails could spit out all the sand and gravel in them as much as possible, and when it was night, they could start to make snails officially.

There are few people at noon, and the meal is relatively simple.

A long bean carob fried meat, a fried greens, a bowl of pickles, a bowl of gruel and a piece of cake for one person.

As soon as a few people finished eating, Yang Pei drove the carriage and Mo Li and the two came in from the door: "Family master, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at him: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Yang Pei is the oldest and most sensible of the four, he has been working in the field, he went to the town with braised meat this morning, and he came back to find her, didn't the deal be done?

"I just heard Aunt Li Zheng say that Zhao Mazi's family wants to sell land." Yang Pei spoke, "There is a piece of land next door to our new home, a total of three acres, and his daughter is short of bride price money for marrying her husband, so she wants to sell this piece of inferior land, and the price is one or two silver per acre, and the people in the village are too expensive to buy it." ”

The best field in the village is two taels of silver per mu, the medium field is one or two halves, and the inferior field is indeed one or two silver, and Zhao Mazi did not shout the price indiscriminately, but who made the village have more wasteland, and Lizheng also lowered the price of wasteland, of course, the villagers would rather spend one or two silver to buy two acres of wasteland.

Gu Qing spoke: "Do you want to buy this land back?" ”

Yang Pei nodded: "The old house we live in now can grow vegetables in the yard, but the newly built yard is paved with floor tiles, not to mention, it is not suitable for growing vegetables, but I have to plant some, I want to buy the land next door, just to grow vegetables." ”

"I think you're a good idea." Gu Qing laughed, "I'll go get you the money." ”

Yang Pei planned and handled these things in farming, and she really didn't have to worry about anything.

She took some more silver from the house: "In addition to the three acres of land next door, you have also bought some land near the wasteland behind our house." ”

Forty acres of wasteland were bought before, and the construction of a house and a chicken coop and duck shed accounted for almost five acres of land, and this time the idea of doing a soap business was born, and another soap workshop had to be built, and this land was completely insufficient.

She said, "Buy another twenty acres." ”

Yang Pei didn't ask what he was doing with so much land, let alone today's braised meat business, so he went to work with the silver.

Buying land is not a big secret in the village, someone sells land, naturally someone buys land, if it is someone else who buys land, the villagers may still talk about it, but I heard that Gu Qing's family bought land, everyone has nothing to say, work hard, and strive not to be thrown too far by Gu Niangzi.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Gu Qing began to prepare to make snails.

Gu Yu helped cut off the hard shell of the tail of the snail.

Yang Pei was making bamboo sticks carefully and carefully, this thing had to be done very carefully, it was a test of his patience and endurance, Mo Li, who had just entered the door, couldn't stand it, and helped to split the bamboo sticks together, and then slowly sharpened the bamboo sticks with a small firewood knife, and made more than 20 bamboo sticks after a while.

At this time, the fire in the stove also burned, Gu Qing poured all the five catties of snails into it, fortunately, the pot was very large, and there was no pressure at all to cook five catties, and the cold water was immediately after cooking, which could make the meat delicious and crispy, and then the pot was heated and oiled, and all the ingredients were thrown down to fry until fragrant, especially to put a lot of peppercorns and chili peppers, Gu Qing put a lot of chopped chili peppers into it and fried it together.

The step of frying ingredients in oil was the most uncontrollable step for Gu Qing, and it was directly handed over to Gu Yu.

Don't look at Gu Yu's young age, but he is diligent, he will be in charge of cooking since he is eight or nine years old, the stir-fry is decent, and after stir-frying for a while, he smells the rich fragrance, Gu Qing poured a large scoop of water into it, covered the pot and simmered.

The whole family crowded into the stove room.

Gu Nuo licked the aroma in the air and sucked his saliva: "It's too fragrant, it's too fragrant!" ”

Zhu Han, who had just arrived at home, said sincerely: "Family master, you are too powerful." ”

He's made this stuff before, and he can't make it taste good by any means, and it seems that he still has a lot to learn from the head of the family.
