...

What made Li Anran quite funny was that in addition to the more than 2,000 yuan sold char siu and more than 50,000 yuan sold snow sugar, the big man who saved his life by Rendan also presented a very "light" Xie Yi, one hundred coins.

When facing this Xie Yi, Li Anran thought that it seemed that the status of this big man was not very good, only worth 100 cents. However, since the money had been sent, there was no reason to return it. As for why this matter was so coincidental, Rendan was just made and saved the other party's life. Li Anran just smiled, and did not say that he believed it or not, just take it as such.

After figuring out the process of this transaction and counting the copper coins on the table, Li Anran naturally took over the financial power and took out a pen and paper to settle the accounts in front of the Zhao family's fourth wife.

In fact, Li Anran also knew that with his unsupported dominance in this matter, there was no need to calculate the account at all, and it was not up to him to decide how much it should be. But since it was cooperation, he naturally had to settle the account clearly before he could make sense. What's more, Li Anran really didn't take this little money seriously.

After deducting all the costs, including the wild boar and Zhao Da and Zhao Er, the profit of this transaction was about 48 knots. This profit was not full of Xie Yi, who was 100 knots. In order to make the calculations, Li Anran did not care about the fragments, and he calculated it directly at a profit of 50 knots with one stroke.

According to the 37-point score that was agreed upon at the beginning, 30% of the 50-ton stake was 15-ton. After confirming this number with Zhao Dazhao Er and the others, they pushed the 15-ton profit that had been thrown out on the spot. At the beginning, Zhao Dazhao Er and the others were still a little embarrassed to take it. In the end, it was Li Anran who took the lead in putting his own portion back into the basket and put it at his feet, and the two families distributed the 15-ton money.

Originally, Li Anran wanted to directly invest the money into the next plan, but considering that after Zhao Da and Zhao Er followed him, he spent money and effort, he could not have hoped and not seen it. More importantly, he felt that these were just some small money. Hongfulou, Tongfuji, and the big man who had saved his life by Rendan were all waiting to use the money to buy his own formula.

Li Anran knew very well that once these three recipes could be sold, even if they could not be sold to the highest level, the startup capital he needed for the development of the Tang Dynasty would no longer be a problem. Moreover, whether it was roasting char siu or continuing to make snow sugar. With the current manpower and equipment, the output was limited even if it was 24 hours a day. In addition, the reason why rare things were expensive, it would not be so tired.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Zhao Da and Zhao Er each took 7,500 yuan. Looking at the four smiling faces that were already invisible, Li Anxin felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although this amount of money is not much, for the Zhao brothers and brothers who were struggling on the poverty line a few days ago, it is already a huge sum of money that can make them ecstatic, not to mention that this money is still earned every day.

Looking at the basket of copper coins beside his feet, Li Anran shook his head. Fortunately, the big man didn't come to join in the fun and gave him a hundred taels of silver cake instead of copper coins. Otherwise, he would have to worry about where to put so much money so that he would not attract thieves.

Li Anran did not rush to respond to the intention of Hongfulou and Tongfuji to acquire the recipe. After the "dirty" was divided, he opened the door and ordered the meal to start a meal in the expectant eyes of the little guys. This time, there was no wild boar meat again. Except for the remaining large bone soup as the soup base and the soup made with green fish head, tofu and wild vegetables, they were all made with the river food they had harvested in the past two days.

Unfortunately, there is no suitable wok, so these dishes can only be cooked by stewing, boiling, steaming and frying. But even so, so many dishes still make everyone smile.

Loaches and tofu, eels, fried fish, and a pot of drunk shrimp made from good wine they bought before, as well as a simple boiled fish fillet, braised fish paddling, and salivating chickens that also simplified the slices due to incomplete seasonings. Originally, Li Anran was thinking of giving the four pig trotters sauce, but unexpectedly, there were two pregnant women in the village who didn't breastfeed. The four pig trotters were finally replaced by the two families with eggs and the fish and shrimps they caught.

It was the pig head that was left at the beginning, but Li Anran did not rush to eat it. Instead, Zhao Er's wife carefully removed the hair, and then used big bone soup as a recipe to mix the braised water to braised it. When making saliva chicken, in order to make the chicken's mouth feel smoother and more delicate, Li Anran secretly used the alum sent from Changchuntang to make ice in front of Zhao Da and Zhao Er's family, and it was regarded as a "spell" that refers to water turning into ice.

Li Anran did not expose such a misunderstanding. Appropriately revealing some magical abilities can not only maintain his own mystery, but also make people sober and save them from doing anything regretful for their entire life due to huge benefits.

Although there was an etiquette of not saying anything and not saying anything in ancient times, there were not so many rules for the people living at the bottom of society. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of supper, Li Anran said something.

"Zhao Da, Zhao Er, how do these dishes taste?"

"tasty!"

“Yes!”

Listening to the two of them’s words that were so simple that they could not be simple, Li Anran smiled and said, “I plan to open a restaurant in the county town. What do you think?”

"Wine... wine shop?"

Zhao Da and Zhao Er, who heard about this for the first time, looked at each other and didn't know what they should express their opinions on the surface, and they were all stupid.

"Zhao Er, you have a life-saving grace with me. I want to ask you, are you willing to work with me? You don't have to sign a contract to sell your body, just like a hiring store guy."

"Of course, you can refuse too. Don't worry, listen to me first." Having said this, seeing Zhao Er about to speak, Li Anran waved his hand and said:

"The matter of snow sugar is too much to do, and it is difficult to keep this prescription as you. I plan to sell this prescription at a high price and still give you 30% of the profit."

"As for your future life, in addition to barbecue, the smoke, marinate methods you have taught you before, and the ramen method, are enough to make you rich."

"If you are willing to follow me, you will naturally not treat any unfair treatment in terms of wages, but it is not enough to be a shopkeeper with your current ability, so you can only start with low prices."

"And Zhao Da, you are Zhao Er's brother. After contacting each other these days, I also know that you brothers have a very good relationship and I treat you equally."

"This matter is also a big deal for you. Don't rush to answer me. How to choose should you discuss it carefully with your family."

Speaking of this, Li Anran ignored the complicated expression in Zhao Dazhao Er's eyes, but picked up the wine bowl in front of him and tasted the wine of this era happily.

For Li Anran, who has been learning to make wine since childhood, whether it is the rice wine he drinks now or the three-leu pulp used to soak drunk shrimps before, the degree and taste are really average.

Especially these Sanle Juice are already the strongest wine in the Tang Dynasty. However, they only use three fermentation techniques. The alcohol content is good enough to reach more than 30 degrees, which is too far from the strong wine that Li Anran has drunk.

In fact, if you want to talk about time traveling back to ancient novels, one of the most common ways to make money is to make wine. Unfortunately, those authors have forgotten something. In ancient times, salt, iron, tea, and wine were all sensitive materials. I won’t talk about salt and iron. If ordinary people dare to touch it casually, they don’t need the people above to do it. Naturally, there will be more people below who are willing to clean up these "troubles".

As for tea and wine, although the sensitivity is far inferior to salt and iron, tea can resolve greasy, clean the stomach and intestines, and supplement vitamins for herdsmen on the grassland. It is also an indispensable thing in life. It is precisely because of this that many large businesses sell tea to the grassland and then exchange it for a large number of cattle, sheep and even horses. It is not impossible for ordinary people to make a fortune in this industry, but it is difficult to make a big deal.
