Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 16 Do you know where these house deeds and land deeds are placed?
"Yinger, did Xiedao make this himself in the kitchen just now?"

In the backyard of the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Zhang looked at the two bowls of Shuangpi Nai that Yinger brought over, her face was full of surprise.

The dissatisfaction with Qin Xiedao in my heart just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Yes, I couldn't help even if I wanted to. The most amazing thing is that this double-skin milk has been processed in ice cubes. It must be very comfortable to eat in this weather."

While talking, Yinger personally brought a bowl of Shuangpi Nai to Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as she touched the bowl, Mrs. Zhang felt a chill coming from her fingers.

At this time, it is not the time to be particular about being gentle.

Anyway, there were no outsiders, so she picked up the spoon and ate a mouthful.

"It's so sweet! It's smooth and tender. I've never eaten such a delicious snack. The most important thing is that it's ice-cold. One bite immediately reduces the heat from my whole body."

As Zhang said, he quickly ate a bowl of Shuangpi Nai.

"Well, if Langjun said something delicious, I can make some every day from now on. He has already taught me how to do it, and I can go to the kitchen to make it for everyone tomorrow."

After saying this, Ying Er couldn't wait to go back to Qin Xiedao's room.

There is also a bowl of Shuangpi Nai that belongs to her.

"This double-skin milk is so sweet, is there a lot of icing sugar added? It's delicious, but the price of icing sugar is too expensive, and we can only eat it occasionally in the future. By the way, it's so hot God, where did Xie Dao get the ice?"

After eating, Mrs. Zhang realized where did the ice cubes come from for the iced double-skin milk she just ate?
"This is even more miraculous. Ma'am, didn't Mr. Lang ask me to buy dozens of catties of saltpeter and come back? At that time, I was still curious what he wanted so much saltpeter for, but now I know that adding water to the saltpetre can Make ice cubes."

Speaking of the magic of ice making, Yinger's interest also rose.

It seems that this kind of bragging opportunity is more attractive than Shuangpi Nai.

"Can saltpeter make ice?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly imagined the appearance of saltpeter in her mind, but she couldn't connect it with ice making.

Isn't that medicine?
"Yes, and Mr. Lang also said that the added saltpeter can be reused as long as it is dried in the sun. Although it is not that convenient, it also reduces the amount of saltpeter used."

"Green leaf, go to that bit of saltpeter. I want to see how it makes ice. It would be amazing if it can make a large amount of ice in this summer. Maybe we can find business opportunities from it."

Although Qin Qiong doesn't have any business acumen, he also likes businessmen and is unwilling to open any shops.

But Mrs. Zhang is different. She knows very well that life is rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

And these things are closely related to money.

You can't fall into the eyes of money, but you can't be without money.

"Ma'am, just add water directly to the saltpeter, it's very simple. I'll go back to serve you, sir?"

At this time, Yinger obviously thought of the double skin milk waiting for her luck again.

"Go ahead, come and find me if you need anything."

……

"Lang Jun, this double-skin milk is so delicious, it would be great if I could eat it every day. But today I spent a lot of money, and I may not even have the money to buy meat in the future, and I may not be able to eat eggs. get up."

Ying Er was very happy to kill a bowl of Shuangpi Nai, feeling that the whole person has become more transparent.

"Is the family so short of money now?"

If it was Qin Xiedao's own feeling before, then now it is Ying Er's very straightforward statement.

Even the money to buy meat is gone, the severity is beyond Qin Xiedao's imagination.

"Very short of money, very short of money! Sir, I haven't received all the regular money for several months, and now my wife gives you a symbolic pocket money of [-] Wen every month, saying it's for other things in the future. Fill.

In fact, I know that the money for this case cannot be made up.The entire Qin family now lives on Alang's annual salary of a hundred thousand dollars, and it is simply beyond their means.If it weren't for the madam who took out some dowry jewelry every year to pawn, there would be no way to maintain it.

Now what Madam is most afraid of every day is to hear the news of someone's child getting married, or a noble family's housewarming, because that means that gifts need to be given. "

Yinger's words moved Qin Xiedao quite a bit.

It seems that I need to find a way to make money.

"How much is the frosting I bought today?"

When he was just making double skin milk, facing the dark icing sugar, Qin Xiedao thought of a way to make money.

"Two pennies cost one catty. I only dared to buy half a catty. Today I used up a little half of it at once, which is equivalent to losing all the money."

Speaking of this, Ying'er's painful expression made Qin Xiedao very speechless.

"Why is the icing in Chang'an City so expensive? Who can afford it?"

These days, the purchasing power of Yiguanqian is about as high as 5000 yuan in later generations. With these two kinds of money per catty, wouldn’t it be said that icing sugar costs 1 yuan per catty?
What is this concept?
Where is the sugar to eat.

Shark fin bird's nest is not so expensive.

"I heard that the icing in Chang'an City is all transported from Tianzhu. Because the journey is very long, and no one in Tang Dynasty knows how to make icing, and they don't know how to make icing, so the price is very expensive."

"Such an expensive icing, do many people buy it?"

"Although it is very expensive, many noble and wealthy merchants prefer to eat sweets, and some wealthy people even use sugar water to entertain guests, so there are actually quite a few people who buy it."

It seems that no matter what era it is, there is no shortage of rich people.

No matter how expensive things are, people will buy them.

Like the later generations, there are often people queuing up to buy in the specialty stores of various famous brand bags.

And those houses that cost 1000 million to 2000 million yuan can only be bought by lottery.

I also want to experience the world of the rich.

"What is the most valuable thing in our family?"

No matter how good an idea is, there is always money to start.

Right now, Qin Xiedao doesn't even have a whole lot of money in his arms, so he can't get rich by buying half a catty of icing sugar there, right?
"There is nothing very valuable in the house anymore, if I have to say anything before, it is that this big courtyard is still relatively valuable.

This was rewarded to A Lang by His Royal Highness King Qin back then.In addition, there are hundreds of acres of paddy fields outside Chang'an City, which can be regarded as worth two thousand guan. "

Yinger thought that Qin Xiedao just wanted to know about the situation at home, so she told him everything she knew.

"Do you know where these house deeds and land deeds are?"

"Of course I know, Madam won't hide anything from me... Sir, you... what do you want to do?"

Inexplicably, Yinger felt something was wrong.

　Maids in the Tang Dynasty usually address their hostesses as Niangzi, but they always feel a little weird, so let’s call them “Madame” in this book.
