17. Chapter 17

The shopkeeper thought, if it is according to what Mrs. Qin said, then one thousand taels is not enough to buy this recipe. If the materials are enough, one thousand yuan of soap a day, five hundred taels a month, that year...

The shopkeeper was shocked: "Then according to what Mrs. Qin said, how much are you willing to sell this recipe for?"

Yang Haiyan: "Five hundred taels of gold."

Shopkeeper: "You want gold?" Five hundred taels of gold is equal to five thousand taels of silver, but gold is rare, so most of the circulation on the market is silver. Even if the number is large, it is basically silver. Mrs. Qin is interesting, she actually wants gold.

Yang Haiyan: "I like shiny things." Actually, it's not. One gram of gold = ten grams of silver. The price of one gram of gold on the platform is three hundred and forty platform coins, and three hundred and forty platform coins can buy sixty-eight grams of silver, which is more cost-effective than ten grams of silver in this era.

Yes, Yang Haiyan wanted to sell the gold on the platform, and then keep the money on the platform. She could buy silver when she needed it. Otherwise, it would not be safe to hide five hundred taels of gold or five thousand taels of silver, even if it was a silver note.

The shopkeeper thought that Mrs. Qin's preferences were quite special, but: "Mrs. Qin, I can't make the decision on this deal. I have to ask my master's opinion. I will ask him later. If Qin Baifu is here later, I will go to see Mrs. Qin. Is that okay?"

Yang Haiyan: "Okay."

After leaving Yongji, Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang went home.

On the way, Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan with admiration. His wife was really good at negotiating prices.

Yang Haiyan smiled and took his hand: "When the recipe is sold, let's buy some things for our hometown. What do my parents-in-law, brothers and sisters like?"

Qin Fang felt warm when he heard her ask about her family: "I don't know either." Hearing that she was going to buy things for her family, he was very moved and secretly vowed that he must work hard to make progress. "Thank you." He held her hand.

Yang Haiyan asked with a smile: "Why are you thanking me? Buying things for your family?"

Qin Fang shook his head: "No, but thank you for marrying me."

Yang Haiyan: "Then you have to be good to me. If you always treat me well, I will never let you down and love you until we grow old together."

Qin Fang: "I won't."

When they got home, it was still morning, so Yang Haiyan began to teach Qin Fang how to read and write. The original owner was good at needlework, had read books and could read, but the original owner's handwriting was not good. The rich families would let the maids accompany the young ladies to read and read, but they would not spend money to buy paper and ink for them to practice writing, so the original owner's handwriting was not good.

However, the original owner had never written, so no one knew that the original owner's handwriting was not good.

Yang Haiyan's handwriting was not bad, it could not be said to be very good, but it was indeed good. There are many art classes in modern schools. Yang Haiyan learned calligraphy and pen calligraphy every year from elementary school to university. She didn't learn it herself, but there were special courses in the school. They were available from elementary school, junior high school, high school to university. After more than ten years of study, even the least talented people can write good characters. What's more, she still has some talent.

On this side, Yang Haiyan accepted Qin Fang, an older student. On the other side, the shopkeeper of Yongji went to Yonghe Marquis' Mansion.

Yonghe Marquis' Mansion is in the county town. It's quite fast to take a carriage from the town, just a quarter of an hour.

Yonghe Marquis' Mansion

"If it's true as she said, this recipe is indeed more than five thousand taels." The wife of Yonghe Marquis's son said to the shopkeeper in front of her.

This shopkeeper is her nanny's brother from her mother's family and one of her confidants. If it was an ordinary shop in the town, she would not send the nurse's brother, just because this town is close to the military camp. If there is any situation in the military camp, the town will know it faster than the county town, so the prince's wife sent the nurse's brother.

But she didn't expect that the nurse's brother gave her such a surprise twenty days ago. She used this soap and it was really useful.

Nanny: "Mrs. Qin came from the capital, and she must have seen the market. Logically, she knew the value of the recipe, so why would she open five hundred taels of gold?"

The prince's wife thought for a while: "It should be that Qin put it in the military camp, so..."

Nanny: "Do you want it, young lady?"

The prince's wife: "The court is getting more and more harsh on the Yong family army, and the military pay is always delayed. Now many soldiers are supported by the private property of our marquis's mansion. In the future, when the prince is in charge of the Yong family army, there will be many places where silver can be used. The profit of this soap is really high."

The nurse understood what she meant when she heard it.

The wife of the prince: "Of course, I have to return the favor, but it depends on whether Qin Fang has the ability to do so." There are 50,000 soldiers in the Yongzhou military camp. Although they are soldiers of the court, they are actually no different from the soldiers of Yonghe Marquis. Therefore, the court is very stingy with the military pay here.

But in order not to disappoint the soldiers, Yonghe Marquis basically uses his private property to support these soldiers. Positions like the captain of a thousand men are registered in the court, and their salaries are all issued by the court, and the court cannot delay it. However, the centurions and other soldiers below them are not registered in the court, and the court is stingy about their military pay. It's just that these soldiers don't know.

Shopkeeper: "Then I will talk to Mrs. Qin."

The wife of the prince: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Haiyan naturally didn't know what these people thought. If she knew, she would definitely sigh. She didn't mean to ask the wife of the prince to blow pillow wind to promote Qin Fang. In fact, she felt that it was good that Qin Fang was a centurion. They lived a simple and ordinary life, were a little wealthy, and did not have to worry about life.

As for asking for 500 taels of gold, she felt that in this era, this soap recipe was worth the price, and she was not greedy, so she did not ask for too much. Who knew that in the eyes of those people, this was to fight for opportunities for Qin Fang.

However, when a wife fights for some opportunities for her husband, everyone treats it with a normal mind, and such a wife is a good wife.

Qin Fang is not a child after all, so he remembers faster when he reads. But when it comes to writing, problems arise. Qin Fang is a military general with great strength. When he practices boxing and sword, his strength is strong, but when he writes, this strength is too strong. Therefore, his handwriting is not good.

Qin Fang: "It is often said that reading is difficult, I think it is not difficult to read, but writing."

Yang Haiyan: "Don't be discouraged, my husband, you can recognize words so quickly, and you will definitely write well. I believe in you."

With Yang Haiyan's encouragement, Qin Fang felt better.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "Qin Baifu, Mrs. Qin, are you here?"

Yang Haiyan walked out of the study: "Boss, you are here, come in and sit down."

The shopkeeper walked into the kitchen and saw some papers on the table: "Is Qin Baifu practicing calligraphy?" Qin Fang was holding a pen, and there were papers full of words next to him, so the shopkeeper asked. Moreover, the shopkeeper and Yang Haiyan had signed a contract, so he knew that Yang Haiyan's handwriting was good.

Qin Fang said frankly: "Yes, I didn't go to school before, I only learned a few words in the military camp, and now I have time, so I asked my wife to teach me."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Qin Baifu really married a good wife." He said it sincerely, and he also wanted to say that Qin Fang was very lucky. A rough man who couldn't read a single word was lucky to marry a woman like Mrs. Qin. "Mr. Qin Baifu, Mrs. Qin, regarding the recipe of the soap we discussed this morning, my master has agreed to the price, but there is one question I want to know, the origin of this recipe will not cause other problems, right?"

Yang Haiyan: "I can guarantee this, we can sign the contract, there will be no disputes about this recipe, and I will not sell the recipe to others, and this recipe is very simple, but I suggest that the shopkeeper show the recipe to your master first, because if the recipe is shown to others, it is also easy to learn."

Shopkeeper: "I will keep it in mind."

After that, both parties signed the contract. After signing the contract, the shopkeeper gave 500 taels of gold, and Yang Haiyan gave the recipe. The shopkeeper did not read the recipe after receiving it, but immediately returned to the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion.

As for Yang Haiyan, she teased: "Husband, we made a fortune today, how about we buy an old hen and stew chicken soup for lunch?"

Qin Fang: "...Okay." What can he say.

Yang Haiyan took out a tael of silver and gave it to Qin Fang: "My husband, go buy it. The extra money is your private money. You can hide it. Every month in the future, I will give you 100 taels of money as your private money. Are you happy?"

Qin Fang: "...Happy."

Qin Fang went to buy an old hen. Yang Haiyan put 500 taels of gold into the trading platform. She did not sell it immediately, but marked a higher price to save it first and sell it when needed. However, 500 taels of gold can be sold for more than 10 million platform coins. I am so happy.

The old hen Qin Fang bought was alive. He killed the chicken and bled it very quickly. After the chicken blood was put out, Qin Fang began to pluck the chicken feathers. The water for plucking the chicken feathers was a little hot. He was thick-skinned and not afraid of the heat, but his wife was very afraid.

Qin Fang was plucking the chicken feathers while Yang Haiyan was making a purse. The man's purse was dark blue, and the words Qin Fang were embroidered inside the purse. "My husband, look, do you like it?"

Qin Fang: "I like it." I like it to my heart.

At noon, the couple drank chicken blood noodle soup, with cabbage and bean sprouts in the chicken blood soup, which tasted great. The bean sprouts were the yellow bean sprouts that Yang Haiyan had grown herself a few days ago, but they were only ready today.

Yang Haiyan liked to chat while eating, which is a habit of modern people. "Husband, the secret recipe of the soap has been sold, what should I do next?" Take five hundred taels of gold and become a rich first generation?

Qin Fang: "What do you want to do?"

Yang Haiyan thought for a while: "Do you think the snacks I made are delicious?"

Qin Fang: "Delicious."

Yang Haiyan: "Then can I open a snack shop?" In fact, she wanted to open a weight loss training camp.

Qin Fang: "Yes. You can hire people to open a snack shop. It's too tiring to do it yourself." If it was before, he might think it was too expensive to hire people, but his wife is rich now, and opening a shop is just for her to pass the time, so he suggested hiring people, so that she would be safe.
