The strongest plug-in to be reborn as a male protagonist

For Chu Ci, summer is a good time to sell handicrafts - you have to put in some effort to make money.

Making ice with saltpeter is the easiest way, but Yuanxu's domestic production capacity is backward, and no one has discovered that saltpeter can make ice at this time. Chu Ci is collecting a large amount of saltpeter, and needs a lot of money to do some troublesome research? I made the best use of everything and came up with a way to make ice and sell ice.

It was a scorching summer day, and in just a few days, Chu Ci earned back the principal of renting a shop in the capital by selling ice cubes and ice mirrors alone.

Chu Ci rolled up his sleeves and walked to the back hall. Zhong Lixuan was busy, seeing Chu Ci subconsciously lower his eyes.

Chuci is so busy these days with opening a store and preparing everything, and Zhonglixuan is studying with Zhou Zhichuan again, so Chuci didn’t notice Zhonglixuan’s subtle evasion? He just smiled and said, “Zhongli, it’s too early for you to finish your homework today. ,? If you are tired, go and rest first, I will use watermelon to make you watermelon shaved ice to relieve the heat."

"No need, studying is not as tiring as you doing business." Zhong Lixuan didn't look at Chu Ci, lowered his head and moved the basin away, thinking that Chu Ci originally called him Xiaoxuan, but now he actually called him Zhongli. As unfamiliar as he was, sure enough he had an impure thought that day and annoyed Chu Ci.

Thinking about it, Chu Ci didn't want to embarrass himself so he didn't point it out, but he didn't let him help these days? He just stuffed him in Zhou Zhichuan's place to study? If he didn't come to see Chu Ci on his own initiative, Chu Ci might still hide on purpose What about him?

Even though he knew that Chu Ci didn't want to see him, Zhong Lixuan still couldn't help but look at him.

He hoped in his heart that as long as Chu Ci didn't criticize him or directly reject him, he still had a chance.

Who would have thought that when he came back, he would see Chu Ci smiling at a strange girl.

Zhong Lixuan felt his heart tighten when he thought of Chu Ci's amiable appearance towards the young girl just now, and his mind kept lingering on that young girl's elegant face. You met recently? I think you treat her very kindly, and even that young lady's elder brother is very polite to you."

"Miss? That one is Princess Qingwu, and the sick girl is He Xuanji, the chief assistant of the court. They are all nobles, so I will go out and take care of one or two." The old acquaintances before rebirth were more or less friendly, so Chu Ci led the two of them to have a look.

With He Xuanji's turbulent temperament, if he finds out that Chu Ci, a foreigner, has piled up a lot of saltpeter, the astute chief assistant will inevitably send someone to monitor Chu Ci, so it is better to just open up the saltpeter. Come out and let him have a look, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

Zhong Lixuan raised his head and looked at Chu Ci in a daze after hearing the words, and then murmured after a while: "Really."

Chu Bingxuan had a lot of customers, and a busy day passed quickly. In the evening, when the heat subsided and the customers dispersed, when Chu Ci was about to close the store, he saw a black figure standing silently in the corner and staring at Chu Bingxuan.

The man was still wearing a black robe during the dog days, and covered himself tightly as if he couldn't feel the heat. The lower half of his face was covered by a black scarf, and the upper half of his face was tattooed with hideous patterns. His eyes stared at Chu Ci coldly, his expression full of bitterness and hatred.

The man stood there for an unknown how long, and the passers-by saw him dressed strangely, and all avoided him in fear, but the man stood there like a puppet, without blinking his eyes, until Chu Ci raised his eyes and looked over. Blinking his eyes, he moved his gaze stuck on the plaque to Chu Ci's face.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and after a long time, the man nodded to Chu Ci dully, then turned and left quickly.

This person's behavior is really weird. The little guy stared at the back of the other person for a moment, and suddenly shuddered when he thought of something: "Shopkeeper, does that person want to steal something, and he stepped on the spot early now? Shall I go and hire a nursing home?" , find a few more bulldogs?"

"No need." Chu Ci shook his head, "That person is just dull, if he comes again in the future, just pretend you didn't see it."

"...Is this also an acquaintance of the shopkeeper?" The young man was stunned.

There are indeed quite a few old acquaintances in Chu Ci in the capital, but the man with green eyes was not among them, but Chu Ci did not guard against the other party, allowing the other party to stand at the entrance of the lane with a strange expression every day, Chu Ci pretended that the person did not exist, and only concentrated on of selling things.

The black shadow stood there for several days, his expression became more and more bitter and bitter, his eyes wished to stare at the two holes on the plaque of Chu Bingxuan. At first, the boy was afraid that he would do something, but after more than ten days in a row, the boy I'm used to it, and I thought that maybe that person is just a poor ghost who can't afford the things in his own store and is greedy.

Chu Ci’s main source of money is Bingjian, which is an ancient simple refrigerator. In this era, Bingjian is a luxury that only the nobles can afford. It is mostly made of bronze, and most of them are divided into two layers. Fine wine and rare ingredients are placed in the central cabinet, which can ensure that the food will not rot for three or four days.

Bingjian’s refrigeration depends entirely on ice cubes. In the hot dog days, the ice inside the Bingjian has to be replaced every half an hour. The price of ice consumed in a day is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year. Therefore, Bingjian Only wealthy families can afford it.

The ice mirrors sold by Chu Bingxuan are different from those used by nobles. Chuci spent some effort to create an ancient version of recyclable refrigeration ice mirrors. The materials are not limited, including wood, copper and iron. He improved on the basis of the existing ice mirrors. The craftsmanship was added, and a thermal insulation material was added - a layer of saltpeter solution soaked in a saturated concentration, and a small mechanism of circulation was made.

Put ice cubes in the inner layer of the ice mirror. After the ice cubes melt, the water will condense into ice again under the action of the saltpeter solution. In this way, the ice put in the ice mirror can be recycled for nearly a day. After one day, sprinkle some saltpeter powder on the cotton , put ice cubes and cycle refrigeration.

This kind of ice mirror greatly saves ice cubes. Both saltpeter powder and ice cubes can be provided by Chu Bingxuan at a low price. The reason why most people in the capital do not buy ice mirrors is because ice cubes cannot be consumed. Now Chu Bingxuan sells this improvement. Bingjian perfectly solves the defect of insufficient ice cubes.

Bronze ware is rare in this era, and copper products are mostly controlled by the government. The bronze ice mirror has to be made by Chu Ci by smelting copper ware and casting molds. Only two sets are made in a month, and the price is ridiculously high—one bronze ice mirror is Get 500 taels of silver.

Wooden ice mirrors are much more friendly to the people. Chu Ci hired two carpenters to make accessories, and he was responsible for assembling and selling them. Such mass production has no pressure, and the price is much cheaper. It only costs one-tenth of the price of bronze ice mirrors—50 two silver.

People in the capital are used to enjoying it. Ever since Chu Ci opened the Bing Chuan, rich people who can afford ice mirrors almost must have a wooden ice mirror, but no one cares about the expensive handmade bronze ice mirror.

500 taels of silver can buy a shop in a luxurious area of ​​the capital, and the average rich person is really reluctant to buy an ice mirror with the money of buying a house.

The two bronze ice mirrors handcrafted by Chuci have been placed in the store all the time. The young man is worried that this rare item will not be sold, and he asks Chuci to reduce the price, but he did not expect that he was really taken advantage of. I bought all the ice mirrors.

The bully He Xuanji sitting in the carriage: "Ahem——"

He Xuanji was born in a famous family with a strong family background, so spending 1000 taels of silver to buy ice mirrors was a pleasure for him.There are not many famous families in the capital with several dynasties. They don’t buy bronze ice mirrors at Chu Bingxuan because they have them in their homes. Although ice is wasted, most of the aristocratic families have ice cellars and store a lot of ice. Not afraid to waste that ice.

After He Xuanji left, Chu Ci realized that the money of these rich and famous families was the best to earn, so he decided to expand the types of luxury goods - glass products and silver-plated mirrors are the best choices.

Chu resigned to look for suitable sand and soil for glass burning. After going out early and returning late to investigate for several days, he selected a location. He also found a few craftsmen to wash the sand and soil, and built a special kiln for burning glass. passed.

After the glass was successfully fired, Chu Ci simply replaced all the utensils in Chu Bingxuan with shiny glasses. A row of glasses were placed on the counter, and the sun shone on the walls of the glasses, almost dazzling the eyes of passers-by.

Chu Bingxuan was so inhumane that the nobles in the capital were shocked.

He Xuanji and Princess Qingwu got the news, and they came to Chu Bingxuan again today. When they saw the glassware of different shapes, Princess Qingwu immediately couldn't put it down and said, "What is this? It's as transparent as ice but it won't melt. It feels like jade but is softer, where did Shopkeeper Chu find this treasure?"

Chu Ci knocked on the glass at hand, and the glass made a crisp sound. He Xuanji's eyes lit up. Chu Ci saw that the two loved glassware very much, so he said with a smile: "This is a vessel I made myself, named Liuli The glass cup is highly ornamental but brittle, it will leave scratches if it is scratched, and it will become shattered when it falls to the ground, and the fragments are easy to hurt people, please be careful, miss."

"Glass cup? I think it's quite suitable as a gift." He Xuanji pondered for a while, then took out a stack of bank notes, "Boss Chu, please wrap up all kinds of glazed cups."

"Okay." Chu Ci called the buddy, and the buddy neatly put the glassware in the wooden box filled with cotton, and soon the wooden box was moved to He Xuanji's carriage.

The boss selling curio calligraphy and paintings on the opposite side poked his head to look at Chu Bingxuan, and the more he looked at him, the more jealous he became: "I don't know where this strange method of the stranger is, it's ice mirror and glazed cup, and the things sell better than the curios in my shop." Expensive! How come such a good shop that is making money every day does not belong to our master, what a pity, what a pity!"

Another boss who had been jealous for a long time came over and said with a smile: "There is a secret recipe for making money every day, we don't have a way to turn water into ice, how can we make a lot of money like Boss Xiao Chu. My master said earlier that this kid doesn't know the rules, he ruined the market in the capital, and even affected our business."

"Your master is far-sighted, and he is right!"

The two looked at each other for a while, seeing the customers coming and going from Chu Bingxuan opposite, and the traffic in front of a small shop, the two couldn't suppress their jealousy more and more, they looked at each other, and they both saw the greed in each other's eyes.

"It's a waste of a foreigner, or a country bumpkin with no relatives and no family, to get such a good idea."

"Who says it's not? Your master has checked the identity of this person. The blue-eyed outsider, if you don't keep it all, it's just a spy."

"Please remind me, I'm going to report to the master right now, I have to investigate the details of these countrymen. If it's really Donghu's secret work, then maybe they stole the secret recipes for making ice and glazed cups from somewhere!"

"Hey, hey, of course it's better to return the stolen things."

The author has something to say: A cutie said that she couldn't understand the copy, so she revised the copy, which should be much better.

The picture of the finished cover has been uploaded. I have to say that the painter is really a fairy!
