Chapter 73 Sold the recipe
Pomegranate decided to sell it, even if she didn't miss it at all. Without this recipe, she still had many recipes. It would be better to make a wooden box!
Her next plan was originally related to carpentry.

I went through all these things in my mind carefully along the way, and I roughly got the bottom line.

Since they had to discuss the seller's business tomorrow, they didn't have to leave the city to go home today, so as to avoid having to make an extra trip tomorrow. Therefore, they stayed at Li Jili's place that night.

Last time, Pomegranate left two packs of fructose for Hawthorn. Tian Guiying was relieved when she found out later. This time Pomegranate and her daughter came again. Tian Guiying also went out of her way to entertain the dinner that night, prepared several delicious dishes, and served After drinking, brothers Li Ji and Li Jili had a good drinking session.

On the second day, Shiliu and Li Jihe followed Li Jili out of the house first, and then went out for a walk on the street.

It's a rare trip back to the city. Last time I was busy selling sweets and didn't even take a stroll. Now that I had nothing to do, Pomegranate took to the streets.

When the appointed time was approaching, the two of them walked to Jixiang Inn.

After arriving at Jixiang Inn, after waiting for a while, shopkeeper Huang strode in from outside and asked them to sit aside and drink tea.

"I have already asked our boss for permission to buy this house. I will talk to you today."

"Girl Pomegranate, the matter you asked our boss to help investigate has already been found!"

Shiliu, Li Ji and Li Jili all looked at Shopkeeper Huang intently. They all wanted to know how this recipe was leaked out!

Shopkeeper Huang immediately said: "We found out that Hu Ji's fructose recipe was bought by Hu Pingye, the shopkeeper of Dafengji's shop, from a man named Wu Gui for ten taels of silver!"

The recipe he bought should not be detailed. When Hu Pingye got the recipe, he asked his dim sum chef to think about it for a long time before making it. I don’t know what was added. As he ate it, he made more than the ones made by the Li family. A touch of sweetness.

They can find this out, but they don't have to go into detail.

There was no need for him to elaborate. Li Jihe and Li Jili stood up in shock as soon as they heard the word Wu Gui.

"What? Wu Gui?"

"Isn't this the second sister-in-law's eldest brother?"

Only the pomegranate was not surprising, and she knew that it had something to do with the Wu family. It turned out that the Wu family asked her natal brother to sell the recipe.

It was sold for ten taels of silver, but it was really worthless. However, Wu only knew three kinds of raw materials and did not know the specific detailed steps. People had to figure it out by themselves after buying the prescription. For ten taels of silver, it was pretty good.

But Wu's thoughts are really convincing. If you want to make money, why don't you just learn how to make sweets and sell them? He had to do it so brilliantly, directly leaking the recipe to others, and making this one-time sum of money was really easy, and he didn't want others to have an easy time.

For this matter, you will be in the first year of junior high school and I will be in the fifteenth year of junior high school. We can't just forget about it.

No, Li Jihe was already talking to Li Jili about the day when Pomegranate was talking about what fructose was made in the old house, Mrs. Wu was also there, and Mrs. Wu went back to her parents' house for two days in a row and took kudzu powder back to her parents' house.

Li Jili was very angry after hearing this, "Then the second sister-in-law is right! I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to do such a thing! This matter must not be revealed like this. How can the clan allow this kind of thing to happen! You must tell the clan leader, Please ask the clan leader to deal with it!"

He turned around and filed a leave of absence with the shopkeeper, and later returned to the village with his fourth brother to testify and ask the clan leader to handle the matter.

Shopkeeper Huang heard clearly, but he didn't care about the affairs of his clan. He just smiled and didn't mention it, and turned around to talk to Shiliu about selling his son.

"The main raw material for the recipe obtained by Hu Ji is arrowroot powder. It seems that shopkeeper Huang also found out that Hu Ji is harvesting arrowroot powder. Then there are oranges and pears. This kind of fructose candies can be made with fruits. By spring, In summer, all kinds of fruits come out, and there are even more varieties, so it is not difficult to do business." "But arrowroot is made from kudzu. It can only be dug in autumn and winter. Even if it is harvested in large quantities and stored with kudzu, if the business is good, , I am afraid that the supply will not be enough for next winter, so my recipe is that there is another thing that can replace arrowroot powder in summer and autumn, so that the fructose business can continue all year round."

Shiliu also straightened her expression, "So, I wonder how much shopkeeper Huang plans to bid?"

Shopkeeper Huang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Pomegranate's words. He had naturally investigated the matter of kudzu and kudzu powder in detail. His boss even sent several errands to several prefectures in the afternoon yesterday. Go and buy kudzu in large quantities. At the same time, we also want to buy oranges, pears, hawthorns, etc. in large quantities.

I just waited for this recipe to be available.

The owner plans to do this business on a large scale. This fructose is suitable for people of all ages all year round. The ordinary fruits are made for ordinary people, and the exotic fruits have their own market and the price is even higher.

The boss held a meeting all night, and even the shop was under preparation.

If there is another thing that can replace arrowroot powder, and only they know about it, it is of course a double guarantee, which is even better.

A thought flashed through Shopkeeper Huang's mind, and he had a certain conclusion. Businessmen are all about profit. When he works for his employer, he naturally has to do it for his employer.

But considering that Jili has been at the inn for many years, he must give a price that is reasonable and acceptable to both parties.

Turning his eyes, he immediately spoke, "Fifty taels of silver! Pomegranate girl, what do you think?"

When Li Jihe heard the fifty taels of silver, he subconsciously looked at Li Jili. Li Jili didn't say anything and only gave him a secret look.

Shiliu's eyebrows moved, and the amount of fifty taels was within her acceptable range. If she could still give fifty taels to a prescription that was already being sold, this owner was very kind.

Not to mention the raw materials she talked about, as long as they buy it on a large scale, others will be able to get a glimpse of it, and this kind of risk will have to be borne.

Although Fang Zi would have made an unknown amount of fifty taels if he kept them and continued selling candy, it would be troublesome to keep them now.

sold!

Pomegranate nodded decisively, "Deal!"

At that moment, only Pomegranate and Shopkeeper Huang entered the back room together. Pomegranate dictated the details of the sugar making steps, while Shopkeeper Huang wrote down the details. Of course, the most important ingredient was another raw material that could replace arrowroot powder.

That is lotus root powder, and Pomegranate also told me how to make lotus root powder.

At the same time, it was also told that the powder can be dried quickly by drying, which can save the time of obtaining arrowroot powder, make sugar from arrowroot powder immediately, and speed up the production of fructose.

Shopkeeper Huang wrote them down one by one, and secretly admired Pomegranate's meticulous attention to detail. Although he found out the method of drying kudzu powder from Hu Ji, Pomegranate's ability to explain everything in detail was also a sign of sincerity.

After writing down all the recipes, Shopkeeper Huang took out ten fifty-tael silver ingots, wrapped them in a square of oil paper, and gave them to Pomegranate.

Then he added: "The wooden gift box that was ordered before will be delivered on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month as previously agreed. In addition to this, we will also order a document for this wooden box alone. What do you think the price of this wooden box is?"
