Splendid little maid

Chapter 70 Salt Price
Nothing compares to his help to her.

Zhang Hansan saw that Chen Xi hadn't touched the refreshments yet, so he asked her to have a taste again.

Chen Xi saw that he couldn't refuse, so he thanked him with a smile, and picked up a piece of pastry to eat.

The pastry is loose in the mouth and has a sweet taste, which should be liked by people here.

Chen Xi felt that her teeth were a little too sweet, so she could only take small bites and eat slowly.

Stop by to listen to the chat.

Perhaps because of his little girl, Zhang Hansan often talked to himself at home, so he developed a habit of nagging, and he was still talking about things in the city.

Chen Xi finally figured out the boundaries of Lijiang City, and the Huang Mansion happened to be stuck on the edge.

Not far from the pit where she fell, there was a stone pier dividing the boundary. Zhang Hansan's home was considered outside the city, but she clearly remembered that the places she passed before entering the Huang's Mansion were all downtown.

From this we can see how big Huang's Mansion is, with various courtyards overlapping and various gardens for entertainment. She guessed that there are at least a few thousand square meters in it.

It occupies such a large area.

Rich indeed.

Chen Xi heard from other people that the Chen family's ancestral business seems to have made a fortune in cloth trading. There are many farms planting mulberry leaves and raising silkworms, and there are many cloth dyeing workshops.

Later, I opened a cloth shop by myself, and later opened other shops. After transporting the cloth, I picked up many other bits and pieces of goods along the way.

This is how it grows.

Now that the cloth is exported overseas, it is not because of the son-in-law that the son-in-law is able to pass the customs so smoothly. It can be said that the Huang family has been able to grow from a small wealthy family to the state of today's rich man, mostly because of the old man. The relationship between man and son-in-law.

It's no wonder that everyone coaxes the old lady so much, and it's no wonder that the eldest wife is so taboo about the second wife. After all, who doesn't care about such a big family business?
In the past, when the Second Household fell, the Third Young Master became the only seedling of the Second Household's direct descendant, and the old lady might be spoiled by heaven, so she acted preemptively and completely blocked the situation.

Chen Xi lamented her kindness, but she had lost her defenses over the years, and felt that the third young master could only let her play with her now, who would have known that Cheng Yaojin would kill her.

Chen Xi didn't want to be a slave forever. If the salt mine was real, then he would have to encourage the third young master to take down this mountain forest in the future. This would be a cash cow.

Thinking of this, she pretended to be unintentional and asked again: "Hey, Uncle, you said last time that the salt here has to be bought with a salt ticket, so where do you get the salt here? The price on the market is expensive What is the price in the ghost market?"

Zhang Hansan was originally talking about the recent skyrocketing prices, and things are getting more and more expensive.

Hearing Chen Xi's question, he didn't think it was strange, so he answered directly: "The price on the market is pretty good. A bucket of salt is twenty renminbi. Official salt is expensive, but it's not expensive. Common people can afford it, but the quantity is small. A little bit."

When Chen Xi heard that the calculation unit of Yidou was out of order, after all, even in her previous life, the measurement was different for each dynasty, so she was not ashamed to ask.

Zhang Hansan just smiled when he heard it, and then said: "What's the matter? I just came back from the city and brought back half a year's worth of salt. It's just a fight. I'll go and get it for you to see."

Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "This is the best, and I can also estimate it."

Zhang Hansan went in and took the bag of salt out, the amount didn't look too big.

Chen Xiguang looked at it, and she felt that it was about the same as a five-jin bag of rice.

She often buys so much rice by herself, so she is very familiar with the size.

Seeing this, Chen Xi asked if he could weigh it. Zhang Hansan handed it to her readily, and she confirmed it when she got it. It was definitely about five catties.

Let's assume it's five catties a bucket, so it's only four pennies a catty, which is really not expensive.

Seeing this, Chen Xi passed the things to him again, and Zhang Hansan took them and hid them again.

"This official salt is really not expensive, right? But it's bad because it's limited in quantity, and you can buy it with your household registration. My daughter and I only need a bucket of salt for half a year."

After Zhang Hansan came out, he sat down again, Song Tao was already there by himself and continued to chat, and he didn't bother her, but just greeted Chen Xi to continue drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Girl, you also know what we do. There are so many prey to deal with. How can we have less salt? The salt is usually barely enough. Sometimes the body feels weak when there is too little salt, and there is no taste in the mouth. There is a lot of life. What does that mean?"

That's why Zhang Hansan took the risk to go to the ghost market to try his luck, but he didn't expect him to find a way. Although the price was ten times that of the official salt, at least there was salt to eat.

Both father and daughter have strong tastes, and eating anything without salt taste is tasteless.

How not to buy.

Zhang Hansan drank a bowl of tea, and then sighed: "Don't talk about people like us, ordinary people don't have enough salt, so we have to find ways to get some."

After all, there are always a few months in a year when we can't continue to eat vegetables because of growing crops.

The goods on the mountain are limited.

People dare not enter the deep mountains to try their luck.

So it can only be eaten when there are more vegetables in the sun or pickled.

This is also a problem without salt.

Of course, everyone can only think of their own ideas.

Chen Xi recalled that in Huang's mansion, her food at that time was almost the same as that in her previous life, it was delicious, and the edible salt was fine and white.

Zhang Hansan's food actually tasted a little bit bitter. At first, she thought her mouth was bitter, but the next day she still felt the taste was weird.

Chen Xi guessed that the salt he used might be coarser. The good ones are probably in the hands of rich and powerful people, and it is not the turn of ordinary people to use them.

Class ah class.

Ugh.

Chen Xi thought of the salt mine he had discovered, if it was real, he would publish it.

A catty of salt costs four Wen, ten times that is forty Wen a catty, then ten catties is four hundred Wen, and one hundred catties is four thousand Wen, which is equal to four taels of silver.

As for the prices here, I heard that the worst kind of miscellaneous grain noodles is only three or four yuan a catty, and the worst kind of rice is also six to seven yuan a catty.

And a penny can also buy a large piece of steamed bread made of miscellaneous grains, and a small piece of steamed bread made of white flour.

Chen Xi felt that the price was okay, and the money here was quite valuable.

Compared with the price in her last life, the price is really much better. When she wore it in her last life, she couldn't buy much for 100 yuan. That's really scary.

If you only rely on a salary of a few thousand yuan, you really can only live a hard life.

Fortunately, she has a craft.

Chen Xi put aside the messy thoughts, thinking that the way to make money now is to refine the salt soil first, and if the salt can be produced, there will be a source of income.

Zhang Hansan almost couldn't say enough to Chen Xi, he told everything he could tell.

Although Chen Xi was very grateful, he did not intend to tell the story of the salt mine.

One is that the crime of selling illegal salt is very serious. Zhang Hansan relies on hunting and making some handmade weapons to sell, and his daughter usually makes money to support the family.
