Volume 1 Chapter 15 Partners

Xie Fuzi before social studies was a tried-and-true talent.

But the new master was an old boy.

……

It's not that Xu He looks down on Tongsheng, this matter is the same as going to school in the previous life, if you use the class system in the previous life compared with the present, Xu's genealogy is equivalent to the "experimental class" and "fast class", and the social science that originally had Xie Fuzi is equivalent to the "ordinary class", but now it has changed to the teaching of old children......

What a proper "errand shift"!

Although Xu He studied scriptures in his previous life, it was just a modern person's study out of professionalism and interest, and it was okay to cope with the county and government examinations, but it was a bit insufficient to go to the Taoist examination, let alone the township examination and the meeting examination in the future.

Before Li County ordered the question "Learn and Learn", the reason why Xu He was able to answer so perfectly was because he had seen others solve the question of this sentence in his previous life, so he could complete the county exam so easily.

There are thousands of exam questions, and the next time he encounters a perverted examiner, he will really be blind.

In this era when everything is inferior, only reading is high, and only reading can get ahead, Xu He made up his mind to learn something with real knives and guns.

But at this juncture, the teaching staff has been adjusted, which is really not good news.

went out of the city with Chu Yuan, and soon the two separated and went back to their respective homes.

When he arrived at home, Xie said to his son with a happy face: "He'er, I just went to the clan to get the five taels of silver back!" ”

After speaking, he looked around vigilantly, for fear that others would hear it, and told Xu He: "Tomorrow my mother will buy a few chickens to raise, and you will have chicken eggs to replenish your body every day after the crane!" ”

Xu He smiled and said: "Mother, you can use this silver boldly and boldly, my son earned another ten taels today!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Shi was shocked: "Ten ...... Ten taels, He'er, where did you get so much money? ”

Xu He didn't hide it, so he told Xie about today's recipe.

Of course, he only deduced that he had seen this recipe written in a miscellaneous book in the bookstore, so he sold it to the Qian family.

Even so, Xie Shi was also worried and said: "Xiaohe, Brother Yu and you have always been good, you sell a recipe at such a high price, don't spoil your friendship!" ”

Xu Hexin said that this is where it is, it is too late for the Qian family to be grateful, and they will send silver over in a few days, I don't know how my mother will feel when she arrives.

At this moment, Xu Peng, who was suddenly from the old Jia's family next door, came over.

"Brother He, my father saw that you had a wound on your head, so he asked me to go to the river today to catch some fish to make up for you!"

Seeing this, Xie Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Peng, you can't see any meat at home for a year, hurry up and take it back!" ”

Xu He suddenly thought about it at this time and said to the Xie family: "Mother, since it is the kindness of Uncle Jia, let's accept it." ”

Xu Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, and took the first two steps to hang the straw rope under the eaves of the grass house, and then turned around to leave, as if he was afraid that Xu He's mother and son would regret it.

Xu He grabbed Xu Peng at this time and said with a smile: "Brother Peng, fortunately Uncle A and you have helped take care of it in the past two days, so come to my house for dinner tonight!" ”

Although Xie Shi felt sorry for the money, he thought about the care of the Jiachang family in the past two days, so he also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, come to eat at night!" ”

Xu Peng didn't squirm, and said with a smile: "Okay, auntie, Xiaohe, I'll go back and tell my father!" ”

After sending Xu Peng away, Xu He read a book at home for a while in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that it was not too late, Xu He went out to the west of the village to buy some wine, and cut some cooked meat and went home.

After a while, the old captain brought the family to dinner.

Xu Peng's mother went to the kitchen to help Xie cook on the fire, and several old men set the table in the hall and drank wine.

Xu He was still young, so he naturally took a bowl and poured some boiling water to accompany him.

The old armor leader took a sip of his wine glass and sighed: "I haven't drunk for a long time, Xiaohe, you have broken the bank!" Don't spend money in the future. ”

Xu He said with a smile: "In the past two days, if it weren't for Uncle and Brother Peng, my family wouldn't know what the chaos would be!" A meal of water and wine, uncle, don't dislike it! ”

Xu Peng said with a smile: "What is this, we are brothers of the same clan, and we live close to each other, and we should share everything that should be taken care of." ”

Lao Jiachang and Xu He's father Xu Wei are cousins, and the relationship between the two families is indeed very close.

In addition, the distance between the two families is not far away, and since Xu Wei was there, the two families have supported each other and have always had a good relationship.

Xu He thought for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly asked the old chief: "Uncle, I am a person who concentrates on business, and has never been involved in production, I read the book and said that our Hailing County is famous in Yangzhou Mansion for being rich in things and rich in people, but why are we still so poor?" ”

Hearing this, the old chief sighed, raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup and sighed: "Xiaohe, what is said in the book is true, our Hailing County is longitudinal and horizontal, and it is important to rush by land and water, and the salt products of Huaiyang are shipped to all provinces through the Baoba Salt Pass on the Cao River not far away. ”

"It stands to reason that this place is also a land of abundance."

"But ......"

Hearing this, Xu He and Xu Peng both put down their chopsticks and listened.

"However, Hailing is divided into upper countryside and lower countryside, and most of the fields are concentrated in the lower countryside in the north of the city. In recent years, floods have been frequent, the Huai River has flooded repeatedly, washed away the Gaojiayan on Hongze Lake, the flood burst the embankment, poured for thousands of miles, and our rural fields were all soaked in water, and there was no harvest throughout the year. ”

"But the imperial court still thinks that our Hailing County has the benefits of water and land salt merchants, and the tax is a lot!"

Xu He nodded, looked at Xu Peng, who was eating vegetables on the side, and said, "Brother Peng, what are you doing now?" ”

"Hey! He's not going to be able to hit a fart with a stick, so he can only do some farm work, and he goes down to the river to touch the fish or something on weekdays, and he has no interest! The old captain grabbed the words and really damaged his son.

Xu Peng was probably used to being beaten, and he smiled, revealing two rows of bright teeth.

Xu He smiled: "I have a protΓ©gΓ©, I don't know if Brother Peng is interested?" ”

Xu Peng was stunned when he heard this, he pointed to himself and said, "Me? ”

Xu He nodded, and then told what he saw and heard when cooking in Huibin Building today.

The old man frowned and said: "I know this thing of white sugar, it is sold in the north and south stores in the city, I heard that it is a layer of frosting on the surface when boiling brown sugar, and it takes a thousand catties of brown sugar to produce one or two white sugar, that thing is very valuable!" ”

Xu He smiled and said, "Uncle, if I say that I have a way to make a large amount of that white sugar, are you willing to ask Brother Peng to help me?" ”

Lao Jia was shocked: "You, you will ...... Will you boil sugar? ”

Xu He nodded.

The old chief's eyes widened, he stood up and walked to the door to look outside, and asked uneasily, "How did you know this thing?" ”

Xu He smiled: "On the book! ”

The old leader is not the Xie family, he has been walking outside all the year round, and he belongs to the people who have seen the world, only to see him half-believe and say: "How can a saint teach people to make sugar?" ”

Xu He didn't answer, he didn't lie to the father and son, in fact, the method of white sugar is very simple, it is recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" that you can get white sugar by filtering brown sugar water with yellow mud water.

It's just that at this time, "Heavenly Creation" has not yet come out, and even whether Song Yingxing will appear in this time and space in the future is still a matter of words, Xu He read this book in his previous life, and from the time he saw Qian Jizu so nervous about sugar in Huibin Building, he made up his mind to use this thing to grab his first pot of gold.

And confined to the study of people can't do business, so the father and son of the old Jiachang, who have always been good to his family, are the partners he found.

Xu He didn't speak yet, but Xu Peng spoke first: "Xiaohe, if you can boil brown sugar, the little white sugar scraped out is not a big deal, and we don't have so much cost to buy and boil sugar, this business can't be done." ”

Xu He knew that he had misunderstood, so he smiled mysteriously and said, "My method is not to collect the icing on the surface when boiling brown sugar, but to make white sugar!" ”

At this moment, the father and son were completely stunned.

You must know that this is not the era of drinking sugar with water, white sugar is a precious thing, and it has to be paid tribute to the palace every year.

The sugar production in Xu He's mouth is obviously not a petty collection of frosting, but ...... Make sugar.

This suddenly subverted the cognition of father and son.

The old armor chief lowered his voice and said, "Really? ”

Xu He nodded, took out the bag of broken silver that had not yet been covered from his arms and handed it to Xu Peng: "Brother Peng, tomorrow you go to the city and use the silver in this bag to buy more brown sugar and come back, okay, let's try it!" ”

Xu Peng checked the weight of the bag, and estimated that there were about ten taels of silver in it, and then he felt that Xu He was serious.

The old man snatched the bag from his son and put it into his arms: "The young man is frizzy, I will go in person, tomorrow our father and son will go into the city together, and we will buy it separately!" ”

Xu He was convinced, ginger is still old and spicy, and his wealth is not exposed, in case the sugar is listed in the future, this move will not attract attention, and he knows the origin of the sugar.
