Xue Pan laughed loudly and said, "Mom, you will say this after watching him eat tomorrow!"

This remark evoked infinite associations among the people inside, they all knew that Jia Qiang was the best child in the Jia family, even more handsome than Jia Rong, could it be that he was so miserable when eating?

It's just that Jia Qiang ignored this, and Xue Pan couldn't say any more, so he changed the topic and asked Jia Qiang, "My good brother, 4000 taels of silver is not a small amount. If you cooperate, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future, but where are you going to get the 4000 taels of silver now?" He wanted to show his words to Aunt Xue so that he could ask for the money later.

Jia Qiang thought about it for a while, but didn't hide anything, and said, "I found the secret recipe for meat skewers from ancient books, and there is another secret recipe, which is more than ten times more valuable than the previous one."

Xue Pan was very interested and hurriedly asked: "What secret recipe? What is it baked this time?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's not food, it's a recipe for dyeing cloth."

"Dye cloth?!"

Xue Pan asked in surprise, "The recipe for dyeing cloth?"

Xue Pan, the royal merchant of the Xue family, was in charge of weaving in the past, how could Xue Pan not be surprised!

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Brother Xue, to be honest, I cooperated with the Jinsha Gang, and part of the raw materials I obtained were the raw materials I needed to make this cloth dyeing recipe. I have been debugging for the past half a month. I even tried it." Several times, the effect is not bad. The cloth on the market today is dyed very well, but the color is not bright enough. Compared with the color I made according to the recipe, the blue, red, tea brown, and official green all look black. It’s black. By the way, the Xue Family Royal Merchant was in charge of weaving a piece in Jiangnan, brother Xue, you have a long history, so you should know how much such a recipe is worth.”

The weaving he learned in his previous life, the original dyeing and weaving recipes for monochrome cloth, are all very basic but classic formulas, and he remembers at least seventeen or eight.

And these [-] or [-] classic formulas can complement each other to create a recipe that is almost perfect in every color.

After Xue Pan heard the words, his big bell-like eyeballs almost popped out, and he said loudly: "Grandma! This recipe will not change for a gold mountain! Good brother, if you open a dyeing workshop, you can rely on this recipe." You can exchange for a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​silver!"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not that greedy. There are eight major cloth houses in Shenjing City, and there are more than eight palaces standing behind them. There are also some invisible court ministers, relatives of the emperor, and a few great scholars of the current dynasty. I am not surprised that the prime minister of the military plane came. These big cloth merchants spend a lot of money to give confessions to people every year, in order to prevent people from stealing the bottom. If I raise a big banner in the cloth shop, the offenders will go to sea When your own strength is weak, you must control your greed. Therefore, I can share the benefits and sell two prescriptions first. This is the confidence I want to buy Qiguan's house."

The people in the room were quiet, and I don't know if I heard it in my heart...

Xue Pan still felt that it was a pity, and said: "Such a prescription, 10 taels of silver will not be exchanged."

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled, "Just one color, not so many."

Xue Pan asked strangely, "Why only one color?"

Jia Qiang explained: "Different colors require different recipes. To make a bright color, in addition to the secret ingredients in the recipe itself, there is also a requirement for water temperature. If there is a slight difference, it will be a thousand miles away. Therefore, there is only one formula, and at most one color can be matched.”

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "After that, can't we build a dyeing workshop and make a fortune?"

Jia Qiang smiled wryly and said, "Brother Xue, if one prescription is spread out, the others will probably be hard to keep. But it doesn't matter, I'm from Penghao, who will come back after all the money is gone. Right now, what I need is not the gold mountain. Yinhai."

Monochromatic cloth involves basic people's livelihood, and the benefits involved are absolutely amazing.

After nearly a hundred years of development in Dayan, in the Long'an Dynasty, the interests of all parties were almost solidified.

As the bulk of clothing, food, housing and transportation, cloth is second only to food, and the distribution of benefits has long been determined.

If Jia Qiang wanted to use a few recipes to force her in, overturn the basic plate and eat alone, let alone his relationship with the Jia family, even if he was the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, he would not be able to withstand the pressure from all directions.

Xue Pan sighed when he heard the words, and said, "If I persuade you to keep the prescription and lend you some money, you will definitely not obey me. You can't be circuitous, it's because you are too pure."

Jia Qiang smiled, and said, "The silver I want to use is more than the 4000 taels for Qiguan's house."

Xue Pan laughed loudly and said, "Yes, yes, we still need to buy more official prostitutes from the Jiaofang Division..."

"puff!"

There was more than one sound of spraying rice inside.

"You damn evil!!"

Aunt Xue was obviously in a hurry.

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Auntie, please calm down. Although we are not gentlemen, how can we act like beasts?"

After a pause, he heard that it was quieter inside. He first gave Xue Pan a look, and then explained: "Because the guild hall needs some maidservants, and those who want to be literate, it is best to be able to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Fengya, such maids are hard to find, so I want to recruit some Si Le from the Jiaofang Division. They are all poor people with broken families. We will help as much as we can, but we will never force them to do those shady things Please don’t worry about this. After all, there are countless people staring at us in the guild hall, and if there is a little bit of chaos, I don’t know how to die.”

Hearing what he said, Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Amitabha, if this is the case, then it is justified."

But Daiyu was surprised: "Baoyu also said that this guild hall...isn't it just a place for you to have fun? Why do you need to be able to understand the language and ink of the girl who serves tea and water?"

Jia Qiang was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "Don't dare to lie to Aunt Lin, besides having fun with a few confidants, I also want to use this to invite some false fame so that I can worship a famous teacher and ask for lessons. Right now, I am my parents. I don’t avoid talking about it. My parents left early, and a piece of furniture property has long since disappeared. I can earn it myself. But in my current situation, I have no father to support, no mother to rely on, and no one in my family. My lord is in charge, I want to ask a teacher for my homework, how difficult is it?"

These words do not contain the slightest bit of water. Jia Qiang's qualifications, if he wants to gain something on the road to school, he needs to find a master from the academic field to guide the article and guide him attentively.

It is said that the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy is the best choice, the older the better, the more sophisticated the article.

Moreover, although most of the Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy came from the Jinshi of the Three Tripods, and the nobles belonged to the nobles, they were not very luscious, and there were a lot of poor Hanlins who couldn't afford meat.

It seems easy to find a famous teacher, but it is actually more difficult.

Because all the Hanlin who are raised in the Hanlin Academy have the name of prime minister, most of them are poor, but the more so, the harder it is to let go of their figure, because they are so poor that only their names are left, who dares to lower their status, for the sake of How many taels of gold and silver to be a teacher?

Even ordinary Jinshi rarely condescends.

Jia Yucun was able to be Lin Daiyu's tutor not only because he was short of money, but also because Lin Daiyu's father was from Tanhualang, which did not insult Jia Yucun's status as a Jinshi.

For another local rich man, Jia Yucun would not agree to give him 100 taels of silver in January, otherwise he would destroy his foundation, and he would never be able to lift his head in the officialdom, and there would never be a chance of recovery.

In addition, Jia Qiang won the praise of the Supreme Emperor because of his praise of the Supreme Emperor, so he is no different from a lucky minister in terms of scholars.

In this way, who would dare to accept him as a disciple in leisure time?

So right now, it is really difficult for Jia Qiang to find a famous teacher.

Most of the girls in the window were sentimental about Jia Qiang's misery, especially the phrase "No father to protect, no mother to rely on", which made those who cared more cry.

Because her body has always been weak, in autumn she changed into Daiyu, who was dressed in a light blue flowing cloud jacket, and she lowered her eyes and wept.

Only Xue Pan stared at Jia Qiang across the street, always feeling that something was wrong.

For Jia Qiang's sake, if you want money, you can have money, if you want women, you can have women, if you want brothers and friends, you can have brothers and friends, and you don't have parents to control and restrain you, is this miserable? !

Chapter 61 No Jade

Since the atmosphere is gloomy, the next meal will not be long.

Jia Qiang and Xue Pan retreated first to avoid the girls inside.

The four girls plus the nuns and maids in front of Baoyu, a total of seventeen or eighteen people, left in a big battle.

After they left, Aunt Xue sent Xiangling to the wing room to call Jia Qiang and Xue Pan.

Seeing Xiangling greeting the two, Xue Pan was a little drunk and stabbed: "These few days I let you take care of your second master Qiang, didn't you leave Hun'er with him? Damn, my sister is so pretty, and even more so. Love gold. Brother Qiang was born handsome, but now he has so much gold and silver, you girls all love him!"

Xiang Ling blushed with embarrassment, glared at Xue Pan in embarrassment, turned and left.
