The shopkeeper thought, if it is according to what Madam Qin said, then one thousand taels is not enough to buy this recipe. If the materials are enough, one thousand taels of soap a day, 500 taels a month, that year... The
shopkeeper was shocked: "Then according to what Madam Qin said, how much are you willing to sell this recipe for?"
Yang Haiyan: "Five hundred taels of gold."
Shopkeeper: "Want gold?" Five hundred taels of gold is equal to five thousand taels
of silver, but gold is rare, so most of the money circulating in the market is silver. No matter how large the number is, it is basically silver. This Madam Qin is interesting, she actually wants gold. Yang Haiyan: "I like shiny things." Actually not. One gram of gold = 10 grams of silver. The price of one gram of gold on the platform is 340 yuan. 340 yuan can buy 68 grams of silver, which is comparable to 10 grams of silver in this era.
Yes, Yang Haiyan wanted to sell the gold on the platform, and then keep the money on the platform. She could buy silver when she needed it. Otherwise, it would not be safe to hide 500 taels of gold or 5,000 taels of silver, even in banknotes.
The shopkeeper thought that Madam Qin's preferences were quite special, but: "Madam Qin, I can't make the decision on this sale. I have to ask my master's opinion. I will ask him later. If Qin Baifu is here later, I will go to Madam Qin's house. Is that okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "Okay."
After leaving Yongji, Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang went home.
On the way, Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan with admiration. His wife was really good at negotiating prices.
Yang Haiyan smiled and took his hand: "When the recipe is sold, let's buy some things to take back home. What do my parents-in-law, brothers and sisters like?"
Qin Fang heard her ask about her family, and his heart was warm: "I don't know either." Hearing that she was going to buy things for her family, he was very moved and secretly vowed that he must work hard to make progress. "Thank you." He held her hand.
Yang Haiyan asked with a smile: "What are you thanking me for? Buying things for your family?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "No, but thank you for marrying me."
Yang Haiyan: "Then you have to be good to me. If you always treat me well, I will never let you down and love you until we grow old."
Qin Fang: "I won't."
When they got home, it was still morning, so Yang Haiyan began to teach Qin Fang how to read and write. The original owner was good at needlework, had read books and could read, but the original owner's handwriting was not good. Rich families would let the maids accompany the young ladies to read and read, but they would not spend money to buy paper and ink for them to learn to write, so the original owner's handwriting was not good.
But the original owner had never written, so no one knew that the original owner's handwriting was not good.
Yang Haiyan's handwriting is good. I can't say it's great, but it's really good. Modern schools have many art classes. Yang Haiyan learned calligraphy and pen calligraphy every year from elementary school to college. It's not that she studied it on her own, but there are special courses in the school. From elementary school, elementary school, junior high school, high school to college, after more than ten years of study, even a person without talent can write good characters. What's more, she still has some talent.
Here, Yang Haiyan accepted Qin Fang, an older student. On the other hand, Yongji's shopkeeper went to Yonghehou Mansion.
Yonghehou Mansion is in the county town. It's quite fast to take a carriage from the town, no more than a quarter of an hour.
Yonghe Marquis' Mansion
"If it's true what she said, this recipe is indeed worth more than five thousand taels." The wife
of the Yonghe Marquis's son said as she looked at the shopkeeper in front of her. This shopkeeper is her wet nurse's brother, one of her confidants. If it was an ordinary shop in the town, she would not send the wet nurse's brother, but because this town is closer to the military camp, if there is any situation in the military camp, the town will know it faster than the county, so the wife of the son sent the wet nurse's brother.
But she didn't expect that twenty days ago, the wet nurse's brother gave her such a surprise. She used this soap and it was really useful. Wet
nurse: "Mrs. Qin is from the capital, so she must have seen the world. Logically, she knows the value of the recipe, so why would she offer five hundred taels of gold?"
The Crown Prince's wife thought for a while and said: "It must be because Qin is in the military camp, so..." Wet
nurse: "Do you want it, young lady?"
The Crown Prince's wife: "The court is getting more and more harsh on the Yong family army. The military pay is always delayed. Now many soldiers are supported by the private property of our mansion. In the future, the Crown Prince will be in charge of the Yong family army, and he will have a lot of use for money. The profit of this soap is really high."
When the wet nurse heard it, she understood what she meant.
The wife of the prince: "Of course, I have to return the favor, but it depends on whether Qin Fang has the ability to do so." The Yongzhou military camp has a total of 50,000 soldiers. Although they are soldiers of the court, they are actually no different from the soldiers of the Marquis of Yonghe. Therefore, the court is very stingy with the military pay here.
But in order not to disappoint the soldiers, the Marquis of Yonghe basically uses his private property to support these soldiers. Positions like the thousand-man captain are registered in the court, and their salaries are all issued by the court, and the court cannot delay it. However, the lower-ranking centurions and other soldiers are not registered in the court, and the court is stingy with their military pay. It's just that these soldiers don't know.
The shopkeeper: "Then I will go and talk to Madam Qin."
The wife of the prince: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yang Haiyan naturally didn't know what these people were thinking. If she knew, she would definitely sigh. She didn't mean to ask the wife of the prince to promote Qin Fang. In fact, she thought it was good for Qin Fang to be a centurion. They lived a simple and ordinary life, a little wealthy, and didn't have to worry about life.
As for asking for five hundred taels of gold, she also felt that in this era, this soap recipe was worth the price. She was not greedy and didn't ask for a lot. How could she know that in the eyes of those people, this was to fight for opportunities for Qin Fang.
However, when a wife fights for some opportunities for her husband, everyone treats it with a normal mind. Such a wife is a good wife.
Qin Fang is not a child after all, so he remembers faster when he is studying. But when it came to writing, problems arose. Qin Fang was a military general, very strong, and his strength was strong when he practiced boxing and swordplay, but when he wrote, the strength was too strong. Therefore, his handwriting was not good.
Qin Fang: "It is often said that reading is difficult, but I think it is not reading that is difficult, but writing."
Yang Haiyan: "Don't be discouraged, my husband, you can write so fast, you will definitely be able to write well, I believe in you."
With Yang Haiyan's encouragement, Qin Fang felt better.
At this time, a voice came from the door: "Qin Baifu, Madam Qin, are you here?"
Yang Haiyan walked out of the study: "Shopkeeper, you are here, come in and sit down."
The shopkeeper walked into the kitchen and saw some papers on the table: "Is Qin Baifu practicing calligraphy?" Qin Fang was holding a pen and there were papers full of words next to him, so the shopkeeper asked. Moreover, the shopkeeper and Yang Haiyan had signed an agreement, so he knew that Yang Haiyan's handwriting was good.
Qin Fang said frankly: "Yes, I never went to school before, I only learned a few words in the barracks, and now I have time, I will ask my wife to teach me."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Mr. Qin really married a good wife." He said it sincerely, and also wanted to say that Qin Fang was very lucky. A rough man who couldn't read a single word was lucky to marry a woman like Mrs. Qin. "Mr. Qin Baifu, Madam Qin, regarding the recipe for the soap we discussed this morning, my master has agreed to the price, but there is one thing I want to know. Will the origin of this recipe cause other problems?"
Yang Haiyan: "I can guarantee this. We can sign the agreement. There will be no disputes about this recipe, and I will not sell it to anyone else. Moreover, this recipe is very simple, but I suggest that the shopkeeper show the recipe to your master first, because if someone else sees the recipe, it is also easy to learn."
The shopkeeper: "I will remember it."
After that, both parties signed the agreement. After signing the agreement, the shopkeeper gave 500 taels of gold, and Yang Haiyan gave the recipe. The shopkeeper did not read the recipe, but immediately returned to the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion.
As for Yang Haiyan, she teased: "Husband, we got rich today, let's go buy an old hen and make chicken soup for lunch, how about that?"
Qin Fang: "...Okay." What can he say.
Yang Haiyan took out a tael of silver and gave it to Qin Fang: "Husband, go buy it, and the extra money will be your private money, you can keep it. From now on, I will give you 100 coins every month as your private money, are you happy?"
Qin Fang: "...Happy."
Qin Fang went to buy the old hen, and Yang Haiyan put 500 taels of gold into the trading platform. She didn't sell it immediately, but marked a higher price and saved it first, and then sold it when she needed it. However, 500 taels of gold can be sold for 17 million Taiwan dollars, so happy.
The old hen Qin Fang bought was alive. He killed the chicken and bled it very quickly. After bleeding the chicken, Qin Fang began to pluck the chicken's feathers. The water for plucking the chicken's feathers was a little hot. He was thick-skinned and not afraid of the heat, but his wife was very afraid.
Qin Fang was plucking the chicken's feathers while Yang Haiyan was making a money bag. The man's money bag was dark blue, and the words "Qin Fang" were embroidered inside the money bag. "Look, husband, do you like it?"
Qin Fang: "I like it." I liked it to the heart.
At noon, the couple drank chicken blood noodle soup, which was filled with cabbage and bean sprouts. It tasted great. The bean sprouts were soybean sprouts that Yang Haiyan had grown herself a few days ago, but they were only ready today.
Yang Haiyan likes to chat when eating, which is a habit of modern people. "Husband, the secret recipe of soap has been sold, what should I do next?" Become a first-generation rich man with five hundred taels of gold?
Qin Fang: "What do you want to do?"
Yang Haiyan thought for a while: "Do you think the snacks I make are delicious?"
Qin Fang: "Delicious."
Yang Haiyan: "Then can I open a snack shop?" In fact, she wants to open a weight loss training camp.
Qin Fang: "Sure. You can hire someone to open a snack shop. It's too tiring if you do it yourself." If it was before, he might think it was too expensive to hire someone, but his wife is rich now, and opening a shop is just for her to kill time, so he suggested hiring someone, so that she is safe.
