Chapter Fifty-Three: Miscanthus Salt Making Ice
"Today, unless you show me how to make ice, I will never believe you!"
Bai Zhi glared at Xiao Chen, as if she was intimidating Xiao Chen, and told him, with me, you don't want to deceive my sister!
Concubine Jing didn't say a word, and let her sister do it, and she was also a little uneasy about whether she could make ice.
"It seems that the mother still doesn't believe me."
Xiao Chen sighed and pretended to look at Concubine Jing with a look of grievance, "You and I know the bottom line, it's really sad that Niangniang is like this." ”
Knowing the four words, he specially accentuated his tone.
Concubine Jing blushed and said, "Shut up!" Who knows you the bottom line? Sister Bai Zhi is right, if you can't make ice, we will never cooperate with you! ”
Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Chen, and then at the sister next to her, she was a little puzzled, these two people ...... Why does it seem to be flirting?
As soon as this absurd idea arose, it was immediately forgotten by Bai Zhi.
Impossible.
How is this possible? She must have thought too much!
"Niangniang, please prepare two basins, one large and one small, as well as a bucket of water, and I will show you how to make ice now!"
Xiao Chen smiled and said.
Concubine Jing's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand a little impatiently, asking people to get back what Xiao Chen needed.
In a short time, the basin and the water were brought up.
Concubine Jing and Bai Zhi watched Xiao Chen's every move intently, wanting to see if he was talking big!
I saw Xiao Chen put the small basin in the big basin, and after filling it with water at the same time, he opened the package in his hand and poured all the contents into the large basin.
"It's ...... Mirabilite? ”
Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes, her family is in the Chinese herbal medicine business, and she is naturally no stranger to miscanthus salt.
Then he sneered, "This is your ice-making method?" Manganese is just a medicinal herb, how can it have such a miraculous effect, you are really deceiving my sister! ”
Xiao Chen raised his head and said with a smile: "It's too early to draw conclusions at this time, right?" ”
"I've been studying medicinal herbs for so many years, can you be a eunuch, and you can understand better than me?"
Bai Zhi pursed her lips disdainfully, her eyes full of arrogance.
"Girl, just wait."
Xiao Chen is also a bamboo in his chest.
In terms of medicinal herbs, I am indeed inferior to you, but in terms of basic chemistry, I am more than a thousand years ahead of you!
For the rest of the day, the three of them focused all their attention on the tub, waiting for the ice cube to appear.
A stick of incense.
Two sticks of incense.
Three incense sticks......
The water in the basin still did not change, and Bai Zhi sneered: "Sister, I think I can find someone to give this dog slave ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Concubine Jing with a look of surprise, "It's frozen!" It's really frozen! ”
"What?"
Bai Zhi's heart jumped, and she immediately looked towards the wooden basin, and then ...... Beautiful eyes widen suddenly!
Poured into the large pot of miscanthus salt, a layer of ice has begun to condense, very thin, but still unbelievable!
"W-How is this possible? Is it really out of the ice? ”
Bai Zhi stared at the ice cubes that were still condensing in the wooden basin, and her heart was turbulent.
Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes are even more brilliant, in her eyes, this is not an ice cube, but a piece of gold, "Sister!" We want to ...... Get rich! ”
The scorching heat of Dachu is abnormally hot, and if there is ice to relieve the heat, it will definitely be very popular!
Concubine Jing substituted herself for a while, if she could buy ice cubes to relieve the heat, even if it was a piece of ice, she would be willing to do it!
Poof.
Xiao Chen suddenly laughed, they were really two great beauties, making such a shocked look, people couldn't help it.
How big is that?
"Niangniang, this time you have confidence in cooperation?"
Xiao Chen glanced at the two of them and asked.
"Yes, of course!"
Concubine Jing walked down barefoot from the collapse and came to Xiao Chen's side, with a hint of charm in her eyes.
With this ice cube, she will definitely be able to amass a huge amount of wealth, and when the time comes, whether it is used to make connections or entrap her own power, it will be extremely easy.
their own status in the palace...... It's not the same as now!
"Sister, you can't refuse your sister this time, right?"
Concubine Jing pulled Bai Zhi with a happy face.
"Do I have any reason to say no now?"
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Chen, "If we want to make money, we have to buy all the miscanthus in the city in advance, otherwise this method of making ice will soon be discovered, and at that time, even if we can make money, we won't be able to make much." ”
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, this girl is a business talent, and she can think about her next move so quickly.
With such a partner, it is easy to worry.
He nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that my money is only enough to buy 10,000 catties of manganese, and I want to buy the whole city, but I have no heart." ”
Bai Zhi smiled, "Isn't there a rich man here?" ”
As they spoke, the two looked at Concubine Jing at the same time.
"What are you doing here?"
Concubine Jing's heart jumped slightly.
Bai Zhi smiled, "Sister, you want my help, can't you do nothing?" I heard that you were very favored by the emperor before, so you must have saved a lot of money. ”
"How much do you want?" Concubine Jing's face was bitter.
Xiao Chen held up a finger, "Ten thousand taels ......"
10,000 taels of silver? It's not much, but it's acceptable...... Concubine Jing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then I heard Xiao Chen spit out two words, "Gold!" ”
"Gold?!"
Concubine Jing was so frightened that she almost jumped to her feet, 10,000 taels of gold, that is almost all of her net worth now!
After struggling in her heart for a long time, Concubine Jing actually looked at Xiao Chen with some pleading, "Can't ...... Can't be less? ”
Looking at her painful appearance, Xiao Chenle was happy, I didn't see it, the dignified concubine, she still has the attribute of a wealth fan, which is surprising.
Bai Zhi obviously knew her sister's temperament, rolled her eyes and said, "This money must be drawn, and not a single cent is missing!" I just estimated that the cost of 100 wen can make these two pieces of ice. ”
"If we count a piece of ice for one tael of silver, that's ten times the profit! At that time, what will return to you will be 100,000 taels of gold! ”
Concubine Jing's eyes lit up, "One hundred thousand taels of gold? ”
"That's still a conservative estimate, after all, this ice is not sold like this, and the edible ice in the small pot is several times more expensive than the inedible ice outside...... At that time, the money earned was more than 150,000 taels. ”
Xiao Chen smiled and added a handful of ingredients.
Bai Zhi glanced at him in surprise, this little eunuch is quite a businessman!
And with such a rich return, Concubine Jing's eyes turned red suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, 10,000 taels of gold, this palace will give it to you in a while!" ”
"Thank you, sister."
Bai Zhi smiled lightly, and then said another sentence that made the hall instantly silent, "Then, it's the most important thing." ”
"How do you divide the money you earn?"
