Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

"Okay, okay, this black gold paste that Nuozi researched is really good."

My great-uncle praised me repeatedly.

The uncle next to him, Chen Shuiwen, also agreed.

Chen Nuoyan smiled at Yan Yan, slightly modestly.

But his eyes were always on the table.

There was a pile of silver and copper coins lying there.

By rough calculation, there were actually ten taels of silver.

Don't underestimate ten taels of silver. These days, ordinary people can only earn about thirty cash a day.

One tael of silver is about ten coins, and one coin is about one hundred wen.

Moreover, Chen Nuo didn't make much black gold paste, so it was pretty good to be able to sell it for so much money.

"But it's not enough."

Chen Nuo said in a deep voice.

Six hundred taels of silver.

The money we got from the Hu family last time, apart from buying grain, was less than one hundred taels.

A portion must be reserved for family emergencies, so the shortfall is at least about 550 taels of silver.

"Let's rent a store and start it in Qinghe Town."

"In addition, the cooling liquid is also on display. If you want to price it..."

"Uncle, what do you think of Qinghe Town's purchasing power?"

"Purchasing power?" Chen Shuiwen was a little surprised by this word, but as the wording meant, he quickly reacted.

"It's okay. When I left, many big families in the town had already sent people to buy it. I calculated that if the black gold paste was priced at fifty taels, it would still sell for at least fifteen taels of silver, or even more. "

"Moreover, this is only for half a month. This thing can be sold continuously. Even if it doesn't sell so much later, it's still a big deal. This time, many people want to ask me about the secret recipe. I'm all No reason.”

Selling secret recipes?

Chen Nuo was stunned.

If you want to raise funds quickly, selling secret recipes is indeed a good way.

"Then how much do you think the coolant should be?"

Hearing this, the uncle hesitated a little.

"Patriarch, um, if the cooling liquid is very effective, should we sell it to the county?"

"Um."

This is natural.

There are only a few people in Qinghe Town, but the population of the county is more than 20,000, or even more.

The big ones there are really big ones.

"Then the cooling liquid can't be sold too cheaply in Qinghe Town."

Hearing this, Chen Nuo nodded in agreement.

He thought so too.

The target group of cooling liquid is those rich ladies and official ladies.

The goods are sold cheaply, and these people may not be willing to buy them.

"Ten taels of silver a share!"

The great-uncle looked at Chen Shuiwen with his eyes widened.

What nonsense is this kid talking about?

Chen Nuo frowned.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Ah? But selling it cheaply is not conducive to our going to the county..."

"This is a mysterious prescription passed down from ancient times. It can nourish the skin, nourish yin and yang. It is a great tonic for women's skin. It is very expensive to use the medicine. It requires an experienced doctor to personally prepare the medicine. This kind of good Something, ten taels of silver?”

"Thank you for being able to speak out."

"ah???"

Chen Shuiwen couldn't close his mouth and looked at Chen Nuo in confusion.

No, are you serious? I thought twelve taels was too much!

Are you darker than me?

The uncle next to him also blinked his eyes, lowered his head and said nothing. Once again, he felt that he was getting old?

"Some of those ordinary rouge gouache still sell for ten taels of silver. The output of mine is very small. It is prepared by an old doctor and has a secret recipe passed down from ancient times. It only costs twenty taels to start!"

Chen Nuo said this expressionlessly.

"Ah, this is good, but there may not be many people in town who will buy it."

"Then we won't sell it."

"oh oh."

Then, Chen Nuo said some more things... trial products... plus some fancy nouns...

When Chen Shuiwen walked out, he was feeling dizzy.

Next, he had to go to the town to rent a store and expand sales in the county.

Moreover, the clan leader also said that if the situation is right, the prescription for black gold ointment must be sold, but as for the cooling liquid, it is not possible, and the most we can do is cooperate.

If everything goes well, the money will be collected in about half a month.

In addition, just in case, Chen Nuo ordered his uncle to take Chen Yong with him when he went to town this time, and told his uncle that if he really sold the secret recipe, he would send someone back to let him know, and he would personally take someone to pick him up. .

…

After the uncle leaves.

The uncle blew in the hot air and took a gentle sip of the hot tea.

"You will squeeze your uncle, and you will have to leave again just one day after you come back."

Chen Nuo sat aside and said with a smile, "This is not oppression. Don't you see that uncle is very happy doing it?"

"Besides, you are not qualified to say this when you are sitting and talking. You still have something to help me with."

"Huh? As an old man, I can just help you with some clan matters. Is there anything else you can do for me to help?"

"After some time, when the clan gets better, I plan to re-establish the clan, absorb clan members into the family business, create some clan property, hire people to teach the clan members how to read, and even, I plan to let the clan members learn medicine and martial arts."

Chen Nuo spoke out one "great family ideal" after another, and the uncle next to him was breathing more and more rapidly.

"Do you think I need you?"

For an old man like my uncle.

Enjoyment is no longer important, family and reputation are what he values ​​most.

What Chen Nuo said perfectly hit his weak spot.

He has absolutely no reason to refuse!

"good!"

Chen Nuo smiled.

All the useful people need to be mobilized!

…

Time passed by.

Another five days passed.

Chen's Rouge Shop opened.

Some firecrackers were set off, some people were invited to show their support, and some gifts were given to people around. A small shop was opened.

Chen Nuo did not go, and everything was done by Chen Shuiwen.

He felt that there was no need to run around for this transitional shop.

This was indeed the case.

Only three days later, news came from Chen Shuiwen that the black gold paste was bought by a wealthy businessman named Xu with a background in the county, and he spent 520 taels of silver.

It is said that the wealthy businessman seems to have some relationship with the largest powder alley in the county.

As for the cooling liquid, the businessman named Xu also bought two, and he bought it without even trying the effect. As he said, a doctor who can make something like black gold paste must be able to make cooling liquid. (Anyway, Chen can't escape)

Highlight a rich and powerful background.

However, the other party did not ask whether the secret recipe of the cooling liquid was for sale. Perhaps it was because of the high price that Chen did not want to sell the secret recipe.

The only question he asked was about which old doctor prepared the secret recipe, and Chen Shuiwen naturally fooled him.

It is worth mentioning that some thieves sneaked into the store that night.

As a result, Chen Shuiwen, who was prepared, ordered Chen Yong to beat them up and throw them out.

However.

Chen Shuiwen did not show any joy on his face.

"Five hundred and twenty taels of silver, no, plus the money from the two cooling liquids, a total of five hundred and sixty taels of silver!"

"I dare not think how many people will be targeting us in the next two days!"
