Chapter Twenty-Eight: Will You Ever Invent?

How can I make money?

Whether it is the vast number of sentient beings in Chen Yun's previous life, or the common people in the current ancient society, they have more or less considered this issue.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is crowded, all for profit.

Money is a good thing for the vast majority of people.

However, money is hard to earn, is hard to eat, and some things can be done without thinking.

It's easy to make small money, but it's hard to make big money.

If it were in modern society, Chen Yunxing might not have thought of any legal way to make a lot of money.

But this is an ancient society!

Chen Yun has at least a thousand years of experience ahead of the current social figures, and it is not too difficult to make a lot of money, not to mention that it is not too difficult.

I think that if it weren't for the Great Black Mountain and the restrictions of family conditions, he would have made that family rich a long time ago, where would he be sold cheaply?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he was in that situation.

When he was lying in bed at night, Chen Yun was thinking about this in his head.

In ancient times, if a traveler wanted to make a fortune, in addition to the normal career, business was often the first choice.

It's just that doing business requires goods, and it is difficult to make a lot of money from ordinary goods, and only rare things are valuable.

Chen Yun remembered several things that were more valuable in ancient society.

For example, glass, cement, distilled spirits, and many more.

"Distilled liquor is not good, the ancients preferred to drink rice wine, and the taste of distilled liquor is hot and rough, so it is not very popular."

Chen Yun closed his eyes and thought.

In addition, the glass production process is cumbersome, and the cement is also in a similar situation.

So what is better to make?

Suddenly, Chen Yun's eyes opened, and a smile appeared on his face, there is!

……

The next day, dawn.

Chen Yun practiced boxing and had breakfast as always.

It's just that he didn't leave the cafeteria as usual after breakfast.

Inside, between the stoves and houses, Senior Brother Ning looked at Chen Yun with a puzzled expression, "What do you want grass ashes for?" ”

Chen Yun blinked, "It's inconvenient to tell you for the time being." ”

Senior Brother Ning thought that the cultivation of medicinal materials in the medicine garden would use plant ash.

He didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Okay, I'll put the ashes in a bag for you later, and you can come and get it later." ”

Chen Yun said again: "Senior Brother Ning, do you want to go down the mountain to buy vegetables later?" ”

"There are basically vegetables in the view, and you have to go down the mountain to buy some fish." Senior Brother Ning bowed slightly, and said, "There is not much oil, salt, sauce and vinegar left, so I need to buy some." ”

Chen Yun showed his fox tail, "When you come down the mountain, can you help me bring back some salt, honey, lard, vegetable oil, fragrant flowers and spirits?" ”

Senior Brother Ning is quite kind, "Okay, how much does it cost?" ”

Chen Yun had already calculated before, and said casually: "Thirty catties of lard, seventy catties of vegetable oil, ten catties of salt, one or two catties of honey, and spirits...... A hundred catties, as for the more flowers, the better. ”

Senior Brother Ning was taken aback, "There are so many things, how can I bring them back for you?" Otherwise, give me the money, and I'll talk to you and the shopkeepers for you, and let them deliver the things later? ”

Chen Yun hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Ning, how much does it cost?" ”

Senior Brother Ning calculated, "Vegetable oil is forty-seven wen per catty, lard is one hundred and fifty wen, honey is two hundred wen, spirits are three hundred wen per bucket, and one bucket of salt is five hundred wen, and the two are converted into about twenty-five wen per catty. ”

Well, the ancients were average in arithmetic.

Senior Brother Ning is still calculating.

Chen Yun said: "Eleven thousand six hundred and fifty wen." ”

Senior Brother Ning raised his head and said with a smile: "You can do this arithmetic." ”

"Occasionally." Chen Yun took out a gold ingot from his pocket, "This is two taels of gold ingots, in addition to my purchases, there are eight taels and three cents of silver left, and three taels and three cents and five cents should be given to Senior Brother Ning for your help, and the remaining five taels are left, you see if anyone is willing to help me go to the mountains to pick more flowers, then give the silver to these people." ”

If you want others to do things for you, how can you do it without giving some benefits?

Especially the fact that going to the mountains to pick flowers is too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and things that can be solved with money, Chen Yun doesn't want to do it himself.

Senior Brother Ning's eyes straightened when he saw the two taels of gold ingots, and while his face was instantly full of smiles, he stammered, "Ouch, what's so embarrassing?" Senior Brother Chen, are you ...... Alas, okay, I promise to help you get things done. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly took the gold ingot and put it in his arms.

……

Leave the cafeteria.

Chen Yun did not immediately go to work in the medicine garden, but found the magic hall.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Zhang Qian squatting on the ground and fiddling with the peach wood.

Wang Tsaixi stood aside and watched.

Chen Yun took the initiative to greet and said, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhang." ”

"Senior Brother Chen." Zhang Qian didn't raise his head, "You wait a minute, I'm a little busy here." ”

Chen Yun said: "You are busy first. ”

Wang Zaixi looked at him, his face was paralyzed as always, "Why don't you come here without going to the medicine garden?" ”

For Wang Zaixi, Chen Yun was grateful and respectful in his heart, and said honestly: "Senior Brother Wang, I heard that Senior Brother Zhang's porcelain burning and carpenter's working tools are first-class, so I want to ask him to help make something." ”

Wang Zaixi said: "He is not free, just this hundred-year-old peach tree is enough for him to work for three or five days." ”

Yes?

Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself.

Chen Yun was quite disappointed in his heart.

He knew how many pounds and taels he had.

Those few things can't be done well, so I came to Zhang Qian, a professional.

I never thought that the other party was not available.

Just as he was about to retire with a vague sentence, the peak turned around.

I saw Wang Tsaixi go on and said: "I can also burn porcelain and carpenter, what do you want to make?" ”

Chen Yun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "The carpenter's work is relatively simple, you only need to make some patterns and molds, and it is a bit difficult to burn porcelain......

Wang Tsai said expressionlessly: "It's okay, you can come." ”

Chen Yun thought for a while, "I don't understand the specifics, why don't I draw it for you?" ”

Wang Tsaixi pointed to the desk not far away, "There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone over there, and I can see it." ”

Chen Yun said: "Okay. ”

The two of them walked towards the desk.

Zhang Qian also seemed to be quite curious, and secretly looked at it while working.

Come to your desk.

Chen Yun picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, then took a piece of white paper and drew on it.

Soon, a simple still pattern appeared on the white paper.

Wang Zaixi looked a little confused, "What is the purpose of this instrument?" ”

If it were someone else, Chen Yun would definitely not say it, but the other party was Wang Zixi.

He elaborates: "This appliance is used to evaporate my wine to get alcohol. ”

"Alcohol?" Wang Tsaixi wondered: "What is that?" ”

In ancient times, when scientific and technological conditions were limited, the wine people drank was mainly fermented wine, and it was not uncommon to know that alcohol was not known.

Chen Yun roughly explained what alcohol is and what it does.

Wang Tsaixi was amazed after hearing this, "It turns out that alcohol is so magical, it can not only be used as fuel, but also used to disinfect wounds?" ”

Zhang Qian raised his head and smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, you can figure out such things as alcohol, this brain may not be too smart, right?" ”

Wang Tsaixi bowed his head and said: "It is indeed very wise, but I don't know something, what do you want alcohol for?" ”

This time, Chen Yun didn't reveal it, and said mysteriously: "Secret, when I make something, you will know, and when the time comes, I will give you some, I think you will like it." ”

Zhang Qian was the first to thank him: "Although I don't know what you want to make, I will thank you first." ”

Wang Tsaixi didn't say thank you, he didn't seem to be very interested in whether Chen Yun had anything to give, and just asked in detail about the requirements for making utensils.

Chen Yun told them one by one, it was nothing more than the size of the seal.

In the end, Wang Tsaixi promised to make a simple still in the evening, and Chen Yun also took the opportunity to leave.

……

In the afternoon.

Chen Yun, who was reading a book in the talisman hall, was called out by Senior Brother Ning.

Cai Rujin didn't make it difficult this time, but was very curious when he heard that Chen Yun had bought a large amount of edible oil, spirits and other materials.

Chen Yun asked the three or four delivery guys to move the things to the kitchen.

Afterwards, he returned to the talisman hall and continued to read quietly.

Cai Rujin didn't understand what he was buying so many things for, but he couldn't pull back the emotion and took the initiative to ask, so he had to sit there and keep looking.

Around the evening, more than 100 catties of flowers that Senior Brother Ning had found someone to collect were also sent over.

During this period, Chen Yun went out again.

After coming back, Cai Rujin's inward-looking curiosity became even stronger.

Until just before dinner.

Wang Tsaixi personally sent a simple still.

This completely ignited Cai Rujin's curiosity.

The simple still made by Wang Zaixi does not seem to be fired normally.

Because normal firing speed is not that fast, and it can't be natural.

Chen Yun estimated that it was made with spells.

How exactly it was made was that he hadn't practiced the spell yet, so it wasn't known yet.

Cai Rujin couldn't pull his face and asked Chen Yun, but he had a good relationship with Wang Zixi.

He immediately pointed to the improvised still and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, what is this?" ”

Wang Tsaixi sighed, "This is the utensils that Senior Brother Chen is going to use to make alcohol." ”

"Alcohol? What is that? Cai Rujin asked very curiously: "I also like to drink a sip of wine on weekdays, but I have never heard of alcohol." ”

Wang Zaixi probably repeated what Chen Yun had said before.

After that, he said goodbye to Cai Rujin.

As soon as the person left, Cai Rujin was surprised, and took the initiative to talk to Chen Yun for the first time, saying, "Senior Brother Chen, you can actually invent things?" Alcohol? It's kind of interesting. ”

The sun was setting in the west, and Chen Yun closed the book.

He didn't know that Cai Rujin had some doubts about himself, but he was as modest as ever and said: "I was lucky enough to find something like alcohol, it's not an invention." ”

Cai Rujin stroked his goatee and asked, "What is the purpose of making alcohol?" ”

Chen Yun saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he stood up and said, "Go back to Senior Brother's words, make money." ”

After speaking, he and Cai Rujin said goodbye and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Cai Rujin didn't move, just stared at Chen Yun's back in a daze.

Make hay?

Does alcohol make money?

Sounds pretty good.

But Cai Rujin really couldn't imagine how much money Chen Yun could make from alcohol.

However, for the first time, he had a somewhat different opinion of Chen Yun.

This young man seems to have a lot of wisdom.

And you can invent such a thing as alcohol?

This little guy is kind of interesting.

Of course, Cai Rujin knew why Chen Yun wanted to make money, it was nothing more than wanting to buy red snow lychee fruit.

He offered Chen Yun a hundred taels of silver each.

This price is definitely extremely expensive for the average person.

It's just that alcohol sounds amazing, and it doesn't seem to have many uses.

It seems unrealistic to want to earn enough silver for a hundred taels of silver.

Chen Yun was full of confidence just now, as if he was sure that he could make so much money.

This made Cai Rujin interested all of a sudden.

He wanted to see how Chen Yun could make a hundred taels of silver from the alcohol.
