"Thirty pounds."

Gu Lan said that she had already thought of the price.

"What?" The fat man obviously didn't hold on, and he was about to laugh angrily, "Poisonous arrowroot powder is actually more expensive than fine noodles?" Why don't you grab it? No way! The price is too high! ”

Although he disliked the high price, Wang Lou did not immediately want to drive Gu Lan out of the house, this is the price can still be discussed.

Gu Lan snickered in her heart, now is the time when the seller's market is dominant, as long as Wang Lou wants it, how can he not buy it?

She didn't procrastinate, and said bluntly: "Uncle, this price is really not expensive, you listen to me to be reasonable, first, this is our ancestral secret method, the process of removing the toxicity of kudzu is very difficult, otherwise someone would have eaten kudzu to satisfy their hunger, and secondly, it is not easy to grind flour from wheat, and it is even more difficult to grind kudzu into flour, and it will take seven or eight days to make this 100 catties of arrowroot powder......

What Gu Lan said was the truth, but it was exaggerated.

The process of detoxifying cassava is not difficult, and making it into flour is even simpler.

As long as she makes money by this method, she will definitely not hide it for too long.

Gu Lan was not greedy enough to take all the wild cassava on the mountain for herself, she just wanted to take advantage of this window period to make some capital.

Wang Lou was moved by Gu Lan's words, mainly because Gu Lan looked sincere and didn't look like he was lying.

After talking about her hard work, Gu Lan began to paint cakes for Wang Lou again: "Uncle Wang, you are the owner of the restaurant, you also know how delicious this kudzu cake is, when you take it to the store to sell, it is the only one within a hundred miles, everyone loves to try it, I will give you another idea, this cake should not be sold alone, how much copper money is consumed, the store will send a cake, within half a month, you will definitely make a lot of money, and it is guaranteed to earn more than spending money to buy my arrowroot powder!" ”

In the hunger marketing of the previous life, Gu Lan used it perfectly.

Sure enough, Wang Lou's eyes lit up again after hearing this, his short and fat fingers stroked his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

slapped his palm with his fist and clicked his mouth: "You girl, you're really amazing!" ”

Gu Lan smiled, "Uncle, I'll be honest with you, I feel kind when I see you today, you are a good person, I am a little girl, it is not easy to drag the family with a mouth, and I don't want to make the business bigger, I don't want to make trouble for myself, it would be great to cooperate with you, my family lives in Xiaolongkan, my brother will hunt, find something good in the mountains another day, I guarantee that I will be the first to think of you, maybe, your restaurant can become bigger and bigger, and become famous all over the world!" ”

Her sweet words were good, and Wang Lou was overjoyed when she heard it, and the folds on her face were about to catch up with the bark, haha laughed: "You girl, you have sharp teeth, I look at you, what a ghost, okay, don't say it, I want you two baskets of arrowroot powder, but let's talk about the ugly words first, this is the first, if the arrowroot powder you make is poisonous, and the guests are eaten well, this will be counted on your head."

Second, you are only allowed to sell this arrowroot powder to me alone, and you are not allowed to sell it elsewhere!

Thirdly, when you go outside, don't say it's arrowroot, and I'll do the rest! ”

Wang Lou is chubby, and he looks at people kindly, but the three requirements that can be put forward are simply inches in and out.

Gu Lan's eyes flickered, except for the second one, she could accept it.

It's not that she wants to sell the arrowroot powder to someone else, but she can't hide it for too long.

At the latest, the people of Xiaolongkanli will discover her secret.

Seeing that it was about to be noon, Wang Lou sent a servant at home to invite an old Xiucai to be a witness, and ordered someone to go to Wang's Restaurant to bring back a few dishes, and several people negotiated and made a contract.

With the contract in hand, if something goes wrong in the future, the two of them can go to the government to fight a lawsuit.

After eating, he sent Lao Xiucai away, and Wang Lou paid Gu Lan silver.

A two-tael piece of silver, plus a thousand pennies.

One hundred coins is a copper string, which is heavy in their hands, and the sisters and brothers carry five strings each, and they agree to come to deliver arrowroot powder next time, and Gu Lan and the two of them left the Wang family.

From morning to leaving, Zhu'er listened to Gu Lan's words, talking less and doing more to watch.

Not long after leaving the Wang family, Zhu'er finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he felt that he was fluttering, as if he was stepping on cotton: "Sister, we have made so much money?" ”

Three taels of silver, that's three taels!

How many good things can be bought!

Don't blame Zhu'er for being excited, when my father and mother were still there, their family planted more than 20 acres of land, a few acres of mulberry trees, and worked in the ground day and night.

That's it, or taking into account that the wind and rain are smooth, if God doesn't open his eyes, in the event of drought or flooding, it is common for the grain to be harvested.

Gu Lan's father and mother died, and it cost less than five taels of silver in the family, which was the result of the hard work of more than a dozen members of the family all year round.

The Gu family naturally couldn't stand it, and in the back, even Gu Lan's father himself didn't want to see a doctor and take medicine anymore.

Zhu'er didn't know if he had thought of this.

He grabbed the two taels of silver, put it in his hand lightly, but his heart was heavy, he wiped his tears with his dirty sleeves, "If I had dug up cassava earlier and made it into powder to sell, wouldn't my father and mother have to die?" ”

In a word, Gu Lan was sad.

She took her brother in her arms and stroked his head, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

If that's the case, maybe she won't be the Gu Lan she is now, so where will she be!

Children's sadness comes and goes quickly.

Zhu'er cried for a while, and then began to get excited again: "Sister, what are we going to buy today?" ”

Thinking of shopping, Gu Lan also had a relaxed smile on her face, which woman doesn't like shopping!

If you make money, of course, you have to spend it to be happy!

But even if you make money, it's a drop in the bucket, and you have to spend it wisely.

First of all, it is necessary to buy cloth, at least one person must have a set of cotton clothes for the winter, right?

Gu Lan walked around the market with great interest, but she couldn't find a store selling ready-to-wear clothes, so she couldn't do it, so she could only ask the owner of the cloth shop, only to find out that most of the women nowadays would spin and make clothes by themselves, and some people would weave more cloth, and they would sell it in the store instead.

Gu Lan couldn't do it, so she had to buy cloth and think about going home and slowly tinkering.

A piece of silk cloth is more than two taels of silver, too.

A horse of broad white cloth costs more than 200 yuan, buy one; A horse of ramie cloth costs 200 yuan, and a pound of cotton costs more than 600 yuan......

It is no wonder that many people on the street wear linen clothes and linen, and those who can wear cotton clothes are either rich or expensive.

It turns out that cotton is so expensive, and it is about to catch up with the price of silk.

Just now, Gu Lan still felt that she had made a lot of money, but after walking around the cloth shop, she wilted in an instant.

After thinking about it, he asked for a wide white cloth and a ramie cloth, and as for cotton, he asked for three catties of cotton, which cost a total of two taels of silver.
