On the return trip, Xiao Fan did not walk.

In order to show his love for talent, Lin Xi deliberately used his own carriage to send Xiao Fan home.

After rewarding the coachman, Xiao Fan asked people to go back.

As soon as I came back, I saw Zhang Zongbao, who was boiling sugar in the courtyard.

It is not difficult to make white sugar, and Zhang Zongbao, who has been handed down by Xiao Fan, can already operate it by himself.

"Brother."

"Have you eaten?" Xiao Fan asked.

"My sister-in-law is doing it."

Xiao Fan raised his hand and opened the food box: "No need to do it, go and call your sister-in-law to eat." ”

Zhang Zongbao leaned over and took a look: "Brother, it's too expensive, can we afford this specification now?" ”

Even if it's packed, but it's so rich, Zhang Zongbao recognizes how expensive these things are.

"Piaoxianglou's dishes, this costs a few taels of silver, right?"

Zhang Zongbao asked: "Is it a good day today, why are you so willing to spend money?" ”

"I didn't buy it, Lin County Ling invited me to dinner, this is packed." Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Packing?"

Zhang Zongbao muttered: "The packaging is so expensive, so the whole table of wine and food can't be more than a dozen taels?" ”

Immediately, Zhang Zongbao sneered:

"Lin Xi has a seven-grade county order, and the annual salary is only eighty stones, and now the market price is about two stone meters of silver, which is about forty taels."

"If he invites you to a meal, you dare to spend a dozen taels?"

Zhang Zongbao said: "Isn't this obviously a corrupt official? ”

"Huh."

Xiao Fan couldn't help laughing.

patted Zhang Zongbao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zongbao...... Our wages are all, but other people's wages are just cover...... Do you understand? ”

The official who has been an official this year is still the head of a county, if such an official can't make some money, then who wants to be an official?

Those who read, what are they doing to gain fame?

There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.

"All...... Cover ......"

The corners of Zhang Zongbao's mouth twitched, and he nodded a little sadly.

"I'm going to call my sister-in-law for dinner." Zhang Zongbao felt that he had been hit, and he didn't scold Lin Xi anymore, so he ran towards the kitchen.

"The fire is still burning!"

Xiao Fan hurriedly pulled out the firewood at the bottom of the pot, otherwise the pot would be mushy with sugar.

……

At the dinner table, Xiao Fan watched the two eat.

He came back after eating his throat.

What Xiao Fan said to Lin Xi also told the two of them.

"So, brother, you want to invest and take the opportunity to build a few shops?" Zhang Zongbao nodded, "Can this work?" ”

Yu Yourong was radiant, she stared at Xiao Fan, and her eyes were even more adoring.

She didn't expect that Xiao Fan not only understood technology and people's hearts, but also knew a little about economics and administration.

Such an excellent man has a limitless future.

"As long as Lin Xi is not a fool, he will take my advice, after all, the kind of business in Xiaohushan can't be on the table."

Xiao Fan said: "It's just that our current money is not qualified to participate in such a level of investment." ”

"We also have dozens of taels, and we can't afford a few shops?" Zhang Zongbao felt that was enough.

Yu Yourong understands Xiao Fan better: "What does Lang Jun mean, do you want to take the opportunity to change more shops?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded.

Zhang Zongbao was puzzled: "In our white sugar business, one or two shops are enough, right?" ”

"Anyway, there are only three of us, we can't recruit workers, this technology is too simple, once we are stolen, we will lose blood!"

Yu Yourong hurriedly agreed: "Brother Zongbao is right! ”

In these days, the reason why many things are expensive is because they are controlled by private individuals, which is called secret recipes.

If it leaks out, white sugar will inevitably become popular in the market, and the price will plummet.

At that time, let alone 500 wen a catty, I am afraid that 50 wen a catty can be bought.

Xiao Fan also agreed with Zhang Zongbao's statement, the secret of white sugar, he could not leak it for the time being, this thing was too profitable.

"Who said that there is only white sugar?" Xiao Fan smiled meaningfully.

"Huh?" Zhang Zongbao leaned forward and said happily, "Brother, is there any secret recipe!?" ”

Zhang Zongbao was a little excited: "I know, brother, you definitely have the ability to press the bottom of the box!" ”

When he looked at Xiao Fan now, he felt like he was looking at a huge gold ingot.

No, it's supposed to be a cornucopia!

Just a white sugar, the money comes so quickly, and then individual businesses, they can't take off?

I'm afraid it's not delusional!

Xiao Fan pretended to be mysterious: "Eat, let's talk about it after eating." ”

Zhang Zongbao immediately divided the rice in the bowl by two, and swallowed it forcibly without chewing much.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeves and pulled Xiao Fan: "Brother, say it quickly!" ”

……

What is the fastest way to make a fortune?

Relying on all kinds of technology traders?

Wrong.

On the premise of predicting history, hug your thighs in advance, and when all the dust falls, you will be rich and noble to the top.

However, Xiao Fan didn't know how the history of this world would develop.

Therefore, he can only rely on all kinds of manipulations in his head.

It has been said before that salt is the lowest cost and the easiest to make money.

But this is the business of the imperial court, unless Xiao Fan becomes an official in the future, he will really die if he participates in this area of interests privately.

Even the current King of Qi can't keep him.

Therefore, Xiao Fan did not flutter and hit his mind on this.

And high alcohol and alcohol, Xiao Fan doesn't plan to take it out now, these things don't have any technical barriers, and if they are taken out, they are easy to be copied.

"Zongbao, you go to the West Market to see if there are any pigs killed, buy a cage of lard and come back."

"Lard?"

Yu Yourong and Zhang Zongbao were stunned.

Zhang Zongbao suddenly lacked interest: "Brother, anyone can squeeze oil, and you can't sell it at a high price." ”

"Who said I want to squeeze oil?"

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes: "Just go and buy it quickly." ”

"Brother, don't fool me, if you really boil oil to sell, I won't help you do this business?"

Zhang Zongbao said, then turned around and stretched out his hand towards Yu Yourong.

Yu Yourong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that now the family's money is kept with her.

"I'll go get the money."

Yu Yourong left, and Zhang Zongbao asked again: "Brother, do you only need lard?" ”

Xiao Fan heard what he meant, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat meat, buy some." ”

"I want to eat fat sausages and let my sister-in-law make them, her craftsmanship is so good!"

Xiao Fan: "Then let the pig killer wash it first and then take it back, otherwise you can handle it yourself, and you can't bother your sister-in-law to do such a disgusting thing." ”

"By the way, buy a cauldron when you come back."

"Okay!"

Yu Yourong came out, and when he heard Xiao Fan's words, the whole person walked a little briskly.

After getting the money, Zhang Zongbao rushed out of the door, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

"Xiao Lang, what business are you going to do this time?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said nothing: "You haven't lost the ashes you have been cooking for the past few days, have you?" ”

Yu Yourong nodded: "Xiao Lang specially instructed it, so naturally it is still there, and it is piled up in the firewood room." ”

About half an hour passed.

Xiao Fan set up a new stove, shoveled the ashes of the plants and trees and piled them up quite high, and picked some fragrant flowers and plants from the barren backyard.

The Xiao family used to be a big family, and they also had their own small garden, planting a lot of flowers and plants.

It's just that in the past few years, no one cares about it, and the backyard has grown wildly, and now it can be regarded as a hundred flowers.

There is also a pot of ash water on the side, which has filtered away large particles of impurities with gauze.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Zhang Zongbao carried a black pot on his back, carrying a cage of lard and a cage of pork and large intestine in his left and right hands.

"Give me the lard, and put those things in the kitchen." Xiao Fan said.

"I'll do it." Yu Yourong stepped forward sensibly and took the pork and large intestine from Zhang Zongbao's hands.

Zhang Zongbao said with a smile: "Hehe, sister-in-law has worked hard, eat fat sausages at night." ”

"Okay." Yu Yourong is also smiling, as long as there are ingredients, she is not embarrassed.

Xiao Fan took the fat to the side and cut it into small pieces on the vegetable mound that had already been prepared.

Then it was washed again.

It's not about making it to eat, but it doesn't have to be too clean, just get by.

"Zongbao, burn the pot." Xiao Fan said.

After speaking, pour half a basin of grass and wood ash water into the newly bought pot.

You have to try the ratio first, you can't use it all at once, and you can do a few less samples first.

"Brother, you haven't boiled the pot yet, so you'll use it?"

"It's not food anyway." Xiao Fan didn't care.

"That's ......"

Zhang Zongbao didn't ask what these things are used for this time.

Anyway, it must be useful, and when I asked and was scolded, it seemed that I didn't understand anything, and I lost face.

Pulling the low bench on the side, Zhang Zongbao began the pot burning link that he was best at.

I have to say that he burned very well, and Xiao Fan was very satisfied with this guy's control of firepower.
