Chapter 186： Noble people buy paper

Yang Erdan gave him the letter in a funny way, pointing to the boxes next to him, "See for yourself!"

Yang Santie rubbed his hands and opened the box at once, and the room was suddenly filled with a strong aroma of tea.

“Second brother, are you sure what A-niang sent me is rice paper?” Yang Santie held out the small box inside suspiciously.

Yang Erdan followed and walked over to take a look.

I saw that the small box contained rice paper, and the aroma of tea was even stronger than before.

The two unfolded the rice paper and took a look. They could clearly see the leaves on it. Yang Santie exclaimed: "What a special paper!"

After reading it, he quickly put away the rice paper and closed the box, fearing that the smell of tea would disappear.

Then he opened the second box, which contained floral rice paper with dried petals on it. It was indeed tailor-made for women.

The boxes in the back are light pink rice paper, light green rice paper, and lavender rice paper.

As long as you are a lady, there will be no one you don’t like.

Yang Santie took the same one and wrote a letter instructing Zhu San to send it to Zhongfu.

Then the old **** asked Yang Erdan: "Second brother, how much do you think this paper can be sold for?"

Yang Erdan really thought about it seriously this time, "Last time, a roll of paper sold for two and a half. With Mianmian's ability, how can I sell it for two and a half?"

Yang Santie shook his head repeatedly, "This is really the only one. Let's see if we can sell it for three taels of silver."

"You really dare to think about it!" Yang Erdan shook his head repeatedly, took a sip, and continued to go out and do his own business.

 The workshop is now in use and is larger than the one back home. In addition to the earthen kiln for firing oysters, there is also a brick kiln for firing bricks. The harvested oysters cost thirty cents per cart, which was cheaper than back home. With the output, the servants of Zhuangzi began to pound adobes day and night.

It happens to be summer right now, so the adobe is almost ready after being exposed to the sun for two days. It is then fired in a brick kiln for two days and two nights, and it becomes a new type of masonry that is larger than green bricks and has about the same hardness as green bricks. At present, After being fired, you can start building the inn.

Yang Erdan went to see Butler Zhu, and the next day Butler Zhu brought several masters over to work.

Everyone was in full swing to open up wasteland, and a carriage entered Zhuangzi.

“Is this Mrs. Muyi’s Zhuangzi?” A maid asked as she stuck her head out.

Yang Erdan put down what he was doing and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mianmian directly opened the car curtain and said, "Brother Erdan!"

“Mianmian! Why are you here!” Yang Erdan quickly greeted them into the mansion.

Mianmian exchanged pleasantries and immediately asked: "Where is brother Santie? Is he there?"

“Yes, I’ll call you.”

“I’m with you!” Mianmian looked eager.

Yang Erdan had no choice but to lead her over.

Mianmian became excited when she saw Yang Santie, "Brother Santie, quickly, tell me how much paper you gave me?"

"What do you mean? Someone is interested in it?" Yang Santie's eyes lit up.

Mianmian's eyes widened, "Why is someone interested? It's obvious that someone noble is interested in me! I'm not short of money. I asked for as much as I want. Hurry up and hand it all over to me! Let's split the money we get this time in half." "

"Drink! You girl, you are so evil! You want to split it in half!" Yang Santie's body ached so much at that moment. Mianmian sneered and said: "You can only sell it for two or three taels by yourself, maybe not even two or three taels. Leave it to me, and I can sell it for you at a sky-high price. Do you believe it?"

Yang Santie gritted his teeth and stared at her, "Can it really be sold at a sky-high price?"

“Forget it if you don’t believe me!” Mianmian made a move to leave.

Yang Santie hurriedly stopped the person, "Trust, trust, trust! I can't believe you! I'll give it to you, give it to you!"

Yang Santie hurriedly took her to see the papers.

Mian Mian came prepared and immediately asked the servants to help carry the things out.

Yang Erdan went out again only to find that there was an ox cart following the carriage, and he gained a deeper understanding of these two like-minded money lovers.

Yang Santie gave the things to Mianmian and didn't take care of them anymore, let alone asking who this noble man was. Three days later, Mianmian came to Zhuangzi again and directly brought up a small box.

Yang Erdan opened it and his eyes widened, "How much are these?"

“One thousand taels.” The old **** Mianmian is here.

Yang Santie fell down from the stool with a thump, "Who did you find to take advantage of you? You actually cheated someone of a thousand taels!"

"Bah, bah, bah! You're just looking for someone to take advantage of! That's the princess. Princess, do you understand? If you talk nonsense, be careful of the head on your neck moving!" Mianmian made a scratching motion on his neck, which scared Yang Santie's neck and hurriedly Protect it with your hands.

"No, no, why did you sell the paper to the princess? This and this are too much fun!" Yang Santie still couldn't regain his composure. He just wanted to make money, but he never thought about making money like this!

Mianmian rolled her eyes cutely, "You think I am willing! Isn't it just a coincidence? Last year, the emperor paid a private visit to our Quzhou Mansion incognito, and it caused such a big stir. Although the emperor rearranged the appointment of the prefect and other officials, But I still feel uneasy, especially this college exam.

The emperor specially ordered his confidants to go to Quzhou Prefecture to invigilate the exam, and the princess came with him. My father asked us young ladies to accompany the princess. It happened that the princess came to my house to sit for a while. You asked Zhu San to bring the paper, what new things are you talking about? , I guarantee that I have never seen it before. The princess became curious immediately. When she saw the paper, she just kept holding it, so I gave it to her knowingly.

Unexpectedly, she asked someone to come to me to inquire about it that night, and said that she would spend a lot of money to buy it. When I asked you to get the paper, I didn't expect that the princess would be so generous. Since you gave it to me, I have to accept it with gratitude. You and my aunt will do it later. Let me tell you, let my aunt make more of this kind of paper, it will definitely be popular! "

The Yang Erdan brothers looked at each other, and it took them a long time to digest this information.

Yang Santie bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you very much, sister Mianmian. I will write a letter to my mother-in-law immediately and ask her to leave a copy for you."

Mianmian nodded with satisfaction and left with her own five hundred taels.

Yang Santie was fascinated by the five hundred taels. He reacted and gave one hundred taels directly to Yang Erdan, "I know that second brother needs money to build an inn. You can take this and tell me if you don't have enough."

Yang Erdan shook his head, "This is your business. You tell my mother-in-law. I made some money by selling fish. I don't need the money for the time being. If I really need it, I won't be polite to you."

Yang Santie then gave up and turned back to write a letter.

September has arrived in the blink of an eye, and Fucheng is flooded with scholars rushing to take exams, and it is even harder to find a room in an inn.

Yang Erdan's inn has not been completely completed, but it already looks like an inn. He is busy painting the walls of the guest rooms, and someone hurried in to report: "Second Young Master, there are a few people outside asking if our inn has any guest rooms. "

Yang Erdan went out to take a look. There were three people coming, all of whom were scholars rushing to take exams.

The scholar in white at the head was polite and polite, bowed very politely and said, "Do you have any guest rooms in your inn?"

Yang Erdan frowned, "We are an inn here, but it has not officially opened yet. It will take another half a month to accept guests."

The three of them all fell down.
