Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 61

After buying things, Chu Chan didn't do any busy work, but went to the gate of the city to wait for her elder brother. Chu Yu didn't come back until it was dark, and the brother and sister went back to Chu's house together.

Rested in Chuli for one night, early the next morning, Chu Chan found that Chu Yu had left, and asked Mrs. Sun only to learn that Chu Yu left before dawn, saying that she had some way to make money with her friends, maybe in the past few days Neither will return.

Chu Chan was silent for a while, and said, "Mother, I got ten gold from Mr. Su before, and I plan to use the ten gold as capital to follow the caravan. Maybe I won't come back in a few days."

Sun was very worried, "You child, how can I rest assured, you are a girl..."

Chu Chan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, am I not dressed like a boy now? I am afraid that Mother will not be able to see that I am a daughter. And the caravan is very reputable."

Sun was still worried, and said that if Chu Hong should come back and go with her, Chu Chan would naturally not agree, and how could other people know what she was doing now.

In any case, Sun Shi was persuaded, and before Sun Shi could repent, Chu Chan left with a burden on his back.

After arriving in Yecheng, Chu Chan bought some food and used it and got busy in the house.

She crushed ground frost and boiled it in water, and boiled the water solution to dry up to obtain potassium nitrate. She also made a lot of plant ash and stirred it, and crushed sulfur. , stuffed one end into an iron container, sealed it, and made several simple explosives in this way before the medicine stopped.

Potassium nitrate can also be extracted from other ores, but it is the most abundant in saltpeter, and it is easier to extract.

It took Chu Chan almost a whole day to do this. Early the next morning, she locked the room where these things were placed before going out.

She heard a lot of news in the wine shop these days, and knew that the biggest salt merchant and jade merchant in Yecheng were both alone, but no one knew who it was.She plans to use the ten gold to do jade business.

Although the jade business is a bit difficult, she has already learned some news from the chats of the people before, and she just waits to come to find that person.

In fact, Chu Chan doesn't care if it's selling salt or jade, it doesn't make any difference to her, as long as it can make money, but one of the jade is the most suitable candidate.

She had heard about this person from many people, and everyone in the world knew him a little bit. He valued love and righteousness, and had a good character. The people under his command could be regarded as quite a few jade dealers in Yecheng.

Nowadays, these small jade vendors don’t make as much money as the person who is about to monopolize the jade and private salt business in Yecheng. What they can earn is only a little bit that shows through the cracks of that person’s fingers. Although the profit of jade is huge, But others have gold and connections, and they don't need her principal, she must have other capital to succeed.

The explosives are her cost, and it is precisely because this thing is shameful that she needs to find someone who values ​​love, righteousness and conduct.
