Liu Haojia said: "This is a good thing, but my father and Uncle Guangyuan should not forget one thing, as the so-called business is talking, we are talking about business with him, how do we know if he will use his brains?" For example, what if they get the secret recipe and kick us out? We have no financial resources, manpower to reopen the market, no his connections, channels, then it will be for others to make wedding clothes! ”

Liu Guangyuan also followed and said: "That's it! Merchants have had a low status since ancient times, because they forgot their righteousness for the sake of profit! So let's be careful! ”

Father Liu nodded his head to show his understanding, and said, "Then Xiao Er, what charter do you have?" ”

Liu Haojia said: "I mean that in the early stage, we must control the secret recipe and production method, even if our family works hard, make a finished product and sell it to him, let him sell it, and the silver sold will be divided proportionally between the two sides!" When the momentum of the family recovers in the future, and then make friends with a few nobles, I am not afraid that he will kick us out! When the time comes, you can give him the secret recipe and let him produce and sell it, and we can sit back and enjoy his achievements! ”

Father Liu and Liu Guangyuan listened to Liu Haojia's words and desperately thought about the loopholes. But I didn't think of anything when I thought about it! As for Liu Haojia, he didn't expect the two of them to come up with any way at all, their heads were already stuffed with muscles!

So in the end, Father Liu stared and thought for a long time, and finally could only say: "Little Er, you can arrange these things, tell me if you need me to come forward!" Also, what should we do now? ”

Liu Haojia said: "Let's do nothing now, what to do, I'll deal with the rest!" ”

Liu Guangyuan said: "Second Young Master, you can't let you do everything!" Anyway, I can do something about it! ”

Liu Haojia said: "Uncle Guangyuan, it's not that I won't let you do it, but I really don't need you now!" Now our biggest problem is to find the best formula ratio, which requires repeated experimentation! You and my father can't do these things, I'll take my brother and Brother Jinbao with me! ”

Father Liu and Liu Guangyuan glanced at each other and wanted to say something, but there was really nothing to say! Because it's okay to let them chop firewood, they really can't do the delicate work of mixing secret recipes! So Father Liu held back for a long time and finally said: "That's okay, if there's anything you want us to do, you can greet it when the time comes!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "There is nothing to do during this time, but I still need some silver to buy some brown candy back!" My mother said that there were less than 100 taels of silver left in the house, and that I might have to use most of it! I'm afraid that the family will be tight! ”

Father Liu said: "It's okay, you just use the flowers!" I know your mother, she said that she has a hundred taels of silver, then she has at least a hundred taels in her hand! So you don't have to worry about the amount of money at home, it's a big deal if you don't practice martial arts during this time! ”

When Liu Haojia heard his father say this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh to himself, this woman is the same in modern times or in ancient times, and she always wants to control the power of the family! Fortunately, this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is still a man who has the final say!

Thinking of this, Liu Haojia discussed some details with them and dispersed. Not to mention Liu's father, he was overjoyed, and returned to Liu's mother to brag. Liu Haojia turned around and locked himself in the house and began to design the matching scheme!

Because a lot of the data in his memory is fuzzy, it takes repeated tests to achieve a truly relatively perfect ratio. So in the following days, Liu Haojia led the three Liu Haonian brothers to start adjusting the formula every day.

Fortunately, those sugars can be dissolved repeatedly and do not cost any money. Only the need to make invert sugar syrup consumes a lot of white sugar and lemons, and the money spent is not particularly large, and it is still within the acceptable range! Moreover, with Liu Haojia's more scientific proportioning experiment, the best ratio and process flow were quickly determined!

When he announced the news at the dinner table, Liu's father and Liu's mother were overjoyed! Liu's father said: "This is really good news! And the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, according to the convention, Zhang Yuanwai will definitely come to the door on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then you can talk to him about cooperation! ”

Liu Haojia said: "Businessmen are very profitable, I think this cooperation should be able to be negotiated, but it depends on how much profit can be gained?" ”

Father Liu said with emotion: "Yes, if the negotiation is completed, there is hope for the revival of our Liu family!" ”

After finishing speaking, he slapped Liu Haonian directly in the back of the head and said, "You also learn more from your brother, don't know how to eat all day long!" ”

Poor Liu Haonian was eating with his head bored, where did he think of being suddenly attacked? So he could only look at his mother with a mouth full of food. Mother Liu stretched out her hand to help him pluck the rice from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't blame your father for talking about you, you should also think more!" You're the elder brother, so you're going to have to help him! ”

Liu Haonian instantly felt that he had been abandoned, but he had no choice but to eat! Fortunately, Liu Haojia interrupted in time and stopped the attacks of Liu's father and Liu's mother, and said: "Mother, you have to work hard these days to make more snacks, just use the sugar and syrup I made!" When the time comes, let that Zhang Yuan taste it outside, and he will know that our white sugar is much better than white sugar, and it will be easier to negotiate this deal! ”

Mother Liu heard that she needed to come out, so she immediately agreed after being happy, and said: "Xiao Er, don't worry, you don't know your mother's skills in making dim sum!" Make sure that Zhang Yuan's tongue can be swallowed when he eats outside! ”

Then the three of them discussed the details at the dinner table, and the dinner ended quickly. During the whole eating process, Liu's father and Liu Haojia were happy, but Liu Haonian was the only one who ate a stomach full of wretchedness!

The time soon came to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Liu family tidied up the courtyard room, waiting for Zhang Yuanwai's arrival, Liu's mother also made more than a dozen kinds of dim sum in one go, waiting for Zhang Yuanwai's tasting! And she still followed Liu Haojia's arrangement, except for a few snacks that used white sugar, the rest were made of invert sugar syrup! This syrup has a higher sweetness and a better taste to eat, which helps to deepen Zhang Yuanwai's impression of snow sugar!

At this time, Liu Haojia was fine, just waiting quietly in his room. When he closed his eyes, he still sighed that the difference in identity levels in the Ming Dynasty was so huge!

Compared with their family and Zhang Shunping's family, the Liu family has declined, and it has even reached the point of renting out Gu Ningbo's mansion! But once they go out, their status is still higher than that of Zhang Yuanwai's family!
