As a low-level commoner who is afraid of poverty and hunger, whenever he sees money, Lao Fang can't help but want to convert it into food.
This has become his instinctive reaction.
But this time, seeing the fist-sized silver ingots on the ground, Lao Fang felt that his brain was not enough.
How much food these silver can buy is obviously beyond the comprehension of Lao Fang whose IQ is limited to addition and subtraction within ten.
"Grandpa, you, what did you do last night?"
Forcing his gaze away from those tempting silver ingots, Lao Fang swallowed hard, looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi glared at the fluffy little maid, leaned over and picked up the silver ingots on the ground one by one, put them in the bag, and then raised his head and said, "I picked it up on the road when I lost my way last night."
"Pick it up, pick it up..." Lao Fang's voice trembled a little.
This is about a hundred taels of silver. He can't make so much money in his life, and was picked up so casually by my uncle
Even if his daily net profit from selling candied haws is 100 Wen, and he can share half of it, it will take several years to save so much money without eating or drinking!
As for the little maid, little stars flashed in her big beautiful eyes.
Uncle's luck has always been very good. Every time he goes out, he can always pick up something. Although he hasn't picked up a pheasant for a long time, but this time he picked up so much money, even God is so helpful to uncle. Woolen cloth!
The girl's mood experienced ups and downs overnight, and at this moment her heart was full of joy, she secretly looked at Li Yi, unwilling to look away no matter what.
Seeing Li Yi and others walk into the yard, Wu stood there blankly, as if struck by lightning. Until now, she still couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes just now.
That's white money!
She was afraid that she would never see that much money in her next life.
For those poor families who are still living to fill their stomachs, all the expenses for a year add up to about one tael of silver, which is enough for them to spend a lifetime...
I don't know how long it took before Wu came back from the trance, picked up the copper basin from the ground, and walked into the door with an unknown expression on his face, a little distraught.
One hundred taels of silver is not a small sum, how to spend it is still a problem.
Naturally, Li Yi would not be like Lao Fang and the others. The first thing he thought of when he had money was to buy food.
As the family is not short of food, what he needs to consider is, of course, how to maximize the value of the money and how to use the one hundred taels of silver to make more money. After all, no one can guarantee that he can Meeting local tyrants like Prince Ning and his son...
Money is often available, but local tyrants do not often have it. If you want to earn enough money to enjoy your old age, you have to rely on yourself.
Originally, he wanted to slowly accumulate enough funds by relying on candied haws, but changes often came faster than planned. At this time, he already had a small amount of money, so he could obviously skip this step.
However, the business of candied haws still needs to continue. At least in a short period of time, when there is no market competition, candied haws can still be very profitable.
Of course, another important reason is that although the money is nothing to me, it is enough to change their future lives for Lao Fang and others.
Li Yi didn't think about leading the entire village out of poverty and becoming rich, but Lao Fang and the others are their own people, so they can't eat hot and spicy food by themselves, and watch them eat dirt...
Li Yi's only ideal at this stage is to make money, a lot of money, at least enough for the rest of his life to support him.
As for the exact number of this number, Li Yi doesn't have a number in his mind yet, in short - the more the better!
With the start-up capital of one hundred taels, according to Li Yi's previous plan, he can now consider purifying high-concentration alcohol or making soap to make money.
Before the distillation purification method was invented, the alcohol content in this world was actually pitifully low. Most of them were rice wine with less than 10% alcohol, and the highest was no more than 20%. Possibly, if it was replaced with liquor of 50 or 60 degrees in the later generations, those so-called heroes in the wine would probably not know how many times they died of alcohol poisoning before they drank a thousand cups.
The wine that the shopkeeper brought out last night should not have a very high alcohol content. However, when encountering Li Yi, who would faint when he smelled a little wine, he would be knocked down in one gulp if he poured it heavily.
The wine culture is also very prosperous in this world, and they are more in pursuit of wine with higher alcohol content, presumably this will also be an unimpeded way of making money.
The sterilization and disinfection of wounds is also inseparable from high-concentration alcohol. Li Yi still cherishes his own life. If a modern person dies from wound infection in the future, it will be a shame.
In addition to distilling alcohol, the production of soap must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
The legendary soap used for bathing is also a rare commodity in this world.
Li Yi once looked for it in the square market of Fucheng, but he didn't see anyone selling it.
After asking, I found out that the production method of pancreas is very complicated, and the secret recipe is only in the hands of a very small number of people such as the royal family. It is a luxury that only a few people can use. It was quickly bought at a high price.
Things that are so common in later generations will immediately become luxury goods in this world, which is of course a good thing for Li Yi.
In the past, he also had a playful attitude and DIYed handmade soap with his own hands. The materials needed are not many, and the procedure is not complicated. He still remembers the making method.
Water, vegetable oil, and sodium hydroxide make the simplest handmade soap.
The soap made by this method does not contain any additives, has strong decontamination ability, and does not cause any harm to human skin.
Although sodium hydroxide is not readily available, it can be easily prepared with slaked lime and soda ash without any difficulty.
After thinking about it in his heart, Li Yi still planned to start with making handmade soap.
He's really had enough of the days when the shower is completely rubbed by hand.
Planning how to implement this plan in his heart, he walked into the inner courtyard unknowingly, and suddenly there was a strange noise in his ears, Li Yi raised his head, and saw a graceful figure tossing and turning in the courtyard, with a cold light shining Li Yi's long sword is as light as a spirit snake. Seeing Liu Ruyi holding a beautiful sword flower, which is a few feet away with a light leap, Li Yi is extremely envious in his heart.
If he can also have such skills, is he afraid of being bullied
If he encounters that scarred face again, he can easily solve it by himself.
At that time, with his extraordinary skills and this handsome boy, wouldn't he be able to become a handsome man with both civil and military skills, gain a large group of female fans easily, and reach the pinnacle of life casually
Seeing that smile on Li Yi's face from a distance, Liu Ruyi put away her long sword and resisted the idea of killing him with a sword...
