Chapter 7: The Day of Making Money (3)

The next day, after breakfast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Yuan Ying and his wife, Yuan He, Yuan Qi and Qingfeng came to the small courtyard where Yuan Qi usually practiced.

Yuan Ying looked at the hundreds of small cigarette rolls that Qingfeng took out, and was even more surprised in his heart, and asked Yuan Qi: "Yuan Qi, can this thing really have the effect of incense?"

Yuan Qi nodded undoubtedly and replied: "Yes, it's just that there is still one last process that has not been completed." Yuan Ying nodded and said, "Then let's start." ā€

Yuan Qi waved to Qingfeng, who stepped forward with a brazier. Yuan Qi took the brazier and put it on the ground, then picked up an iron plate, covered it with the brazier, and then put the spices on the iron plate. After a while, the iron plate was heated by the brazier, and the spices placed on the iron plate began to melt, and a burst of aroma emerged. Yuan Qi took a cigarette roll, placed it on top of the melted spices, smoked it repeatedly, and tossed back and forth more than ten times before it was finished.

According to the above method, Yuan Qi smoked hundreds of cigarette rolls one by one, and then wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then smiled: "Okay, it's done, this is the flue-cured tobacco type, well, golden silk leaf, its name is golden silk leaf." Yuan Ying was very interested, reached out and picked up a golden silk leaf, flipped it in his hand a few times, and asked, "How to use this golden silk leaf?"

Yuan Qi stepped forward and picked up the flint and lit one end of the golden silk leaf, then handed it to Yuan Ying and said, "Just put the unlit end in your mouth and suck it." Yuan Ying put the golden silk leaf in his mouth and took a slight sip. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised it repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful! At first, the taste was slightly bitter, but later it was bitter and sweet, which made people feel refreshed and happy." Hearing his father's admiration, Yuan He couldn't help but step forward, picked up a golden silk leaf, lit it according to Yuan Ying's appearance, and sucked it up. After a while, Yuan He also opened his mouth and praised: "It's really wonderful!"

Yuan Qi was praised by his father and eldest brother, and he was also very happy in his heart. Although the materials of this period are limited, and the technology is not developed, it is impossible to make tobacco similar to that of later generations, but the benefits are not impossible, so that the tobacco produced by Yuan Qi can be described as pure natural, without adding any industrial raw materials, and there is no harm to the human body.

Glancing at Qingfeng, Yuan Qi said: "Father, the child usually has to practice swordsmanship and halberd techniques, and he doesn't have much time to make tobacco, so the child plans to leave this matter to Sister Qingfeng to do, so that he can not only make tobacco to sell for money, but also not leak the method of making tobacco." ā€

Yuan Ying turned his head to look at Qingfeng, and said with a smile: "Very good." Qingfeng hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you, master." Yuan Ying waved his hand and said: "Speaking of which, Qingfeng has been a maid in my Yuan family since the year Yuan Qi was born, in the blink of an eye, in the past eight years, my wife and I have not treated you as an outsider, this matter is handed over to you, I can rest assured." ā€

Yuan Qi picked up the rest of the golden silk leaves, thought about it, took out more than thirty of them, divided them into three parts, handed them to Yuan Ying, Yuan He and his mother, and said, "The child and Sister Qingfeng went to the market to peddle these golden silk leaves, and these three copies were reserved for my father, eldest brother and grandfather." ā€

And in the bazaar, Yuan Qi and Qingfeng stood side by side, with a bag of golden silk leaves in front of them. The breeze shouted crisply: "Sell golden silk leaves, good incense, don't pay if it's not fragrant, don't miss it when you pass by." Then he turned around and asked Yuan Qi a little nervously: "I shouted right?" Yuan Qi nodded with a smile, and said with encouragement: "That's right, just shout!" In fact, Yuan Qi had never seen merchants sell things in his life, but he taught Qingfeng such a set of selling methods according to the memories of his previous life.

After a while, a richly dressed merchant walked over, heard the sound of the breeze, and couldn't help but stop. Glancing at the golden silk leaves placed on the ground, Shengsheng asked, "How to sell this thing?" Qingfeng was about to answer, but Yuan Qi preemptively said: "This guest officer, this is the first time that our sister and brother have gone to the market to sell things, and we will give you a bargain, each golden silk leaf is only a hundred yuan." ā€

"A hundred dollars, why don't you rob it?" the merchant rebuked. His angry rebuke immediately attracted many onlookers.

Yuan Qi picked up a golden silk leaf unhurriedly, handed it to the merchant, and said, "Why don't you taste it first?" The merchant took the golden silk leaf handed by Yuan Qi in disbelief, put it in his mouth and sucked it up, and then immediately showed a look of enjoyment. After sucking up the whole golden silk leaf, he said, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." A hundred dollars is indeed worth the money, give me ten. ā€

Qingfeng was shocked by Yuan Qi's sky-high asking price, and what shocked her even more was that the gorgeously dressed merchant did not hesitate to buy ten. She was in a daze, Yuan Qi was not in a daze, she picked up ten golden silk leaves, then wrapped them in a small ball with cloth, handed them to the merchants, and said: "This is ten, you take it, it is a total of 1,000 yuan, and the one you tasted just now is not your money." ā€

The merchant took the cloth bag and said with a smile: "You kid, you are very good at business." After speaking, he took out a large amount of money from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Qi.

The onlookers saw the businessmen happily paying for the golden silk leaves, and they were curious, so they came forward and asked Yuan Qi: "Boy, we also want to buy it, but we don't know what the golden silk leaves taste, can we also taste them first?" Yuan Qi did not hesitate to grab a handful of golden silk leaves, about seven or eight, handed them to the people in front of him, and said: "Rely on your parents at home, rely on your friends when you go out, and the small business of our sisters and brothers depends on all the nobles."

Seeing that Yuan Qi was cheerful and generous, everyone took the golden silk leaf one after another, and after lighting it, they sucked it up. Those who have not finished sucking want to come forward to grab, but with the lit golden silk leaf, it is inconvenient to move, and they want to throw away the remaining golden silk leaf, but they are reluctant, and they are in a dilemma for a while, which is very difficult.

It didn't take much effort, and the golden silk leaves brought out by Yuan Qi were sold for seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and there were less than ten left. Qingfeng happily counted the big money in his hand, and while counting, he happily said to Yuan Qi: "Second Gong.... Uh, Yuan Qi, we made more than 4,000 dollars today, a lot of money, I've never seen so much money. ā€

Yuan Qi also raised his head happily, and was about to talk to Qingfeng, but his face suddenly changed, and he looked at the corner of the street with a solemn expression.

Around the corner, a figure walked slowly. Qingfeng saw the change in the expression on Yuan Qi's face, followed Yuan Qi's gaze, and saw a young man in his twenties, walking slowly, this young man was tall and burly, and his face was handsome. Although he is only wearing an ordinary power suit, he gives people a feeling that is not ordinary.

Of course, it's just the feeling of the breeze. At this moment, Yuan Qi's heart was in turmoil. He felt that since this young man appeared, there seemed to be an invisible momentum centered on him, constantly radiating around. It seems that between heaven and earth, there are five words floating "Brother also wants to smoke". What surprised Yuan Qi even more was that this young man was carrying a weapon behind his back, a weapon that made Yuan Qi feel pressure-a halberd!

The young man walked up to Yuan Qi and the others, glanced down at the golden silk leaf, and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?" The language was short, concise, and pointed directly to what was in mind. Qingfeng was asked by this young man, and suddenly felt as if an invisible long sword was pointed at him, and he was speechless for a while.

Yuan Qi used the peerless finger Xuanqian obtained in his previous life, resisted the momentum of this young man, and then replied: "This thing is called Golden Silk Leaf, a hundred coins." The young man glanced at Yuan Qi in a little surprise, and said in a deep voice again: "You, not bad." Five. ā€

Yuan Qi picked up five golden silk leaves and handed them to the young man, the young man stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at Yuan Qi seriously, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Zhengyang Valley in the suburbs and get the money." After saying that, he didn't stop, but turned away.

It wasn't until the young man disappeared from sight that Qingfeng gasped and said, "This person is so domineering, why don't you take things and not give money?" Yuan Qi didn't respond to Qingfeng's words, but stared thoughtfully at the direction where the young man's figure was gone, and muttered to himself: "By the way, Sister Qingfeng, we have almost sold the golden silk leaf today, so why don't we go back." ā€

Speaking of the golden silk leaves, Qingfeng's interest was raised again, and he said with a smile: "Okay, the master will be very happy to see that we sold four hangings for a lot of money in half a day." ā€

The two cleaned up, took the day's harvest, and returned to the state pastor's mansion satisfied.

In the lobby, Yuan Ying and his mother sat in the middle hall, looking at Yuan Qi and Qingfeng, who came back in half a day, Yuan Ying said: "Come back so soon? Are those golden silk leaves not easy to sell? It doesn't matter, the family is not short of food and clothing, and if you can't sell it, you can't sell it, to be honest, I still want to enjoy the taste of golden silk leaves every day, so it's better to leave it to me." ā€

Yuan Qi was stunned, glanced back at Qingfeng, and couldn't help but smile at Qingfeng. Dare to love, my father thought that the two of them had hit a wall and returned. Qingfeng chuckled lightly and said, "Master, madam, today the slave maid and son-in-law have sold out the golden silk leaves, and a total of four hangings have been sold. ā€

Yuan Ying responded nonchalantly: "Well, no matter how much it sells, it's good to have this experience, don't care..... "Looking back at his mother, he saw that his mother was also covering her mouth in surprise at the moment, looking incredulous. Yuan Ying asked again: "Qingfeng, how much did you say it was sold?" Qingfeng simply put the package in his arms on the ground, and then opened the package, revealing the four big coins inside.

"Profiteering, this is profiteering. Yuan Ying covered his forehead, looking like he had been defeated by big money. Yu Guang was looking at Yuan Qi, and the corners of his mouth had a slight invisible curvature.
