delicious little cook

Chapter 218

"How can I carry you behind my back! It's just that Aunt Rong praised a few words, and I'm happy."

"Aunt Rong is being polite, don't take it as a blessing."

"Aunt Rong said that the handmaid's soap is a unique business."

"you two……"

"Aunt Rong also said that the business of the soap craftsman's family workshop does not make any money, but if they can monopolize the soap business in Tianshuifang, the monthly net profit can be at least a dozen taels of silver."

"There are so many? Is it true or not?"

"That's what Aunt Rong said, she can count much faster than the servant girl."

"Impossible, where do you plan to get the main ingredients for making soap, the animal offal? The raw materials are limited and can only be produced and sold in a family workshop style. Don't think about the beauty of the workshop to the factory."

"My lord, this maid never said that these pancreas are made from animal offal."

"What do you use if you don't have offal?"

"The craftsmen use internal organs mainly to extract the oil inside. The servant girl can just use the oil directly. Animal oil, vegetable oil, there are too many raw materials."

"Ready-made oil? There are millions of people in the capital. Do you know how many catties of oil you eat in a day?"

"Then don't use cooking oil."

"Speak clearly."

"Actually, these household soaps are made from frying waste oil in the kitchen."

"Hey?!"

"So Aunt Rong said that this is a unique business, turning waste into treasure, the cost is low, it is made into four squares, and it costs a few pennies, and the profit in the middle is there. It doesn't take much time to squeeze out the original pancreas in the workshop. The sub-workshops are all closed."

"Where is your hand washing? It's also waste oil?"

"It was just a trial sample. Who knew those two girls were so fast."

"If they don't take it out, I don't know that you actually used strong alkali in the courtyard behind my back."

"There are several kitchens in the house, and the amount of frying waste oil is considerable. Especially when the end of the year is approaching, most of the traditional dim sum and snacks on New Year's Day are deep-fried. Western kitchens can have dozens of catties of waste oil a day. The prince is not happy. The servant girl does it herself, so she finds a craftsman outside to do it, but she must annex it and control it in her own hands to ensure the safety of the craftsmanship and recipes."

"How did you dispose of waste oil at home?"

"When the swill is sold, a large bucket costs five renminbi, but buying caustic soda for five renminbi can make a lot of pancreas, and one piece of pancreas can last a month for one person.

"I've underestimated you, you are a budget-conscious person, and you will live a good life."

Bai Kou looked at Gu Yun expectantly.

"It's easy to annex a workshop for my own use. It's just a matter of a few taels of silver. But if you want to use this to start a business, let's not talk about sales, first of all, how to ensure a continuous supply of raw materials? This matter has to be discussed in the long run."

This was tantamount to being dismissed again, Bai Kou pouted with some displeasure, pinning all her hopes on Aunt Rong.

The two walked while talking, and returned to the Zhongming Court without knowing it. The maids were all waiting in the bedroom, and there was no one in the corridor. At this point, Gu Yun finally let go of Bai Kou's hand, and Bai Kou went through the main hall to cover the building behind. After washing his hands, Gu Yun stepped outside the bedroom.

When the maids saw the young master coming back, they immediately gathered around to wait on him, washed their hands, changed clothes, drank tea, and brought out the new clothes that the young master had prepared for school tomorrow for the young master to choose.

Gu Yun was sitting on the couch in the outer room, holding a tea bowl, looking at the four new clothes hesitating, while Bai Kou finished his personal affairs in the back building, walked in and asked what he would like for supper tonight.

Thinking that the family had just finished the family banquet, Gu Yun had no appetite for supper at all, so he just ordered a fruit plate and asked Bai Kou to pick out a new dress for him to wear tomorrow.

Bai Kou pointed casually, Gu Yun nodded, the girls tidied up their clothes, and then split up their work, some went to the back to prepare hot water for washing, some went to the small kitchen to prepare a fruit plate, Bai Kou didn't need to do such small things as the fruit plate, but She didn't stay indoors, anyway, there were people waiting for her, and she didn't eat supper, so she went back to her room to read.

At the time of the second watch, Gu Yun was about to rest. After everyone was busy, they helped the young master to go to bed and lie down. Except for those who were on duty at night, everyone else left.

The dense bed curtain completely blocked the bed, Gu Yun opened his eyes, sat up quietly, picked up the pillow, took out a looper from the interlayer, and carefully threaded the two bed curtains together, calling People can't easily open it from the outside, so as not to sleep in the middle of the night and have someone climb into the bed.

Ever since Wang Chun'er's incident happened, Gu Yun was very concerned about his innocence. He didn't want to be taken away by a girl in his dream for the first time.

Think about it, I am a man who can make a woman pregnant, but I have to be careful not to have a girl rape, no matter how I deal with it, it can only be regarded as an after-the-fact remedy, it cannot be called proper, and it will also affect my reputation in the eyes of servants reputation.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Gu Yun got up late, all the maids had arrived, and he still hadn't moved, so Mei Lun went to pull the bed curtain, and found that something was hanging from the inside, and she woke up while fiddling with it. Gu Yun.

Everyone calmly ignored this little embarrassment, and waited on Gu Yun to practice martial arts in the morning and eat breakfast step by step, wiped his body and changed his clothes. Go to the government school and recognize the way.

So he had no choice but to quickly inform the stables to get Zao Ni ready, Bai Kou changed her clothes, carried her book bag, and followed Gu Yun out.

Outside the second door, in Babu Lane, Xiao Panzi, the boy who went to school with him, was already waiting there. When he saw someone coming out, he hurriedly saluted, raised his head and hurriedly greeted Bai Kou, took the book bag from her, and left. Behind the two, they walked out of the gate together.

Outside the gate, the horses and guards were all in place. Gu Xu and Gu Jing’s people were all there. After entering the government school, he happened to be leaving with his two younger brothers today, so he had an extra identity as a senior brother of the same school.

Everyone got on their horses one by one, left Tianshuifang, and headed west along the south bank of the Moat River to Jianhefang where the government school was located.

After entering Jianhefang, there are more cars and horses for students on the street. The alley where the Fuxue is located is called Magi Alley. The buildings of the Fuxue occupy half of the alley, while the other half of the alley belongs to three rooms. The founders of private academies are all great Confucian scholars in the academic world, and they only compete with the government schools for students, but the best students still have the primary goal of entering the government schools.

As long as you pass the boy's test, you can enter the government school to study. Thanks to the funds allocated by the Ministry of Rites, the government school has money, and there will be an extra monthly allowance to supplement the living according to each person's merit. For the poor students, entering the government school is a scholar. The only choice is that private academies are still too expensive. If poor students have no financial support, even if they enter the gate of private academies, it will be difficult to persist.

Gu Yun and his party walked to the entrance of the Alley of Magi, and they met several cousins ​​of the He family. He Jiali was also on the list this autumn. Naturally, he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his elders in the family and go to school. The cousins ​​studied together. , I also know that it will definitely be much more interesting than when they were studying ethnology separately.

Before the boys had finished exchanging pleasantries, He Jiali saw Bai Kou from the crowd. Naturally, the He family knew about what happened in Jicheng Hall after the luncheon yesterday. For He Jiali, Bai Kou, as Gu Yun's manager, naturally Can be included in the circle of cronies.

Bai Kou noticed He Jiali's gaze, smiled at him, rode his horse and followed the team, and sent the men to the gate of the school.

There is a rule in the government school that the children of the rich and powerful are only allowed to bring one servant to go to school, so except for Xiao Panzi who followed Gu Yun in with a book bag, the guards and Bai Kou were not even allowed to step on the steps in front of the gate. First dismount and watch the gentlemen enter the gate, and then they get back on their horses and head back home.

A large group of people mighty, just to send the men to school.
