Leaving the person here, Jiang Wan hurried back to the medical center to finish things, and then changed her identity to find Song Jiuyuan.
"Qiu Niang will bring someone over later. He knows about jade and jade, and he must be able to help you.
It's just that it's inconvenient for us to show up, just let Song Yi arrange it. "
"good."
Song Jiuyuan expressed his understanding and immediately told Song Yi that when the people arrived, they would be sent directly to the Jieshi Mansion they had prepared temporarily.
"Then you get busy first, I'll go back home and have a meal."
Jiang Wan was about to leave after finishing her business, but was stopped by Song Jiuyuan, "You're already here, just eat here."
"no."
In the past, Jiang Wan could be calm and composed, but now everyone in the Song family knows that she promised to marry Song Jiuyuan again.
She seemed a little thin-skinned and a little embarrassed.
"Then I'll accompany you to eat out."
Song Jiuyuan realized that she might be shy, but he wanted to be with her.
Jiang Wan promised, but Cheng Jin and Uncle Cheng came uninvited.
"I heard that the mirror will be finished soon. I have opened all sales channels now. Do you mind if I go to inspect the goods?"
Uncle Cheng smiled gently, but Jiang Wan knew that he was not at ease.
She and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll just let my second uncle take a look at the goods.
My second uncle has shipped goods from Nanyang before, so he must know how to ensure that the mirror does not break. "
"I know a lot about these things."
Speaking of this, Uncle Cheng became very interested and started talking to Jiang Wankaikai.
The four of them went directly to the restaurant opposite the palace for dinner, and then rode out of the city on horseback.
Considering that they were all men, Jiang Wan also put on men's clothes before setting off and did not do any other disguises.
This secret base was hidden deep in the mountains somewhere in Fucheng. Jiang Wan and the others walked through the mountain road and stopped at the entrance of a cave.
"arrive."
Song Jiuyuan and the others handed their horses to Song Er, who had heard the news a long time ago, and he led Jiang Wan and the others into the cave with great strides.
Uncle Cheng looked around with satisfaction, "This location is well chosen, far away from the hustle and bustle, and safe."
"No, it doesn't matter who chooses it."
Cheng Jin was extremely proud, this was the place chosen by his brother.
Song Jiuyuan glanced at Cheng Jin speechlessly and pressed a mechanism in the cave.
Then...a stone door spun open in front of them, and Cheng Jin spoke weakly.
"Song Jiuyuan, why is it so dark inside?"
Compared to Jiang Wan, he seemed to be the only woman.
"Just follow me."
Song Jiuyuan was afraid that Jiang Wan would be scared, so he gently held her hand and touched her palms, making Jiang Wan feel safe.
Cheng Jin felt sour in his teeth. Just when he was about to say something, Uncle Cheng tugged his sleeve and signaled him not to say anything.
After walking a few dozen steps, the front became brighter. It turned out that there were some kerosene lamps placed on the cave walls.
The process of making a mirror is relatively complicated. In order to prevent the secret recipe from being stolen, Jiang Wan split it into six steps.
Each person can only have access to part of the work, because Song Jiuyuan took them both with him, so Song Jiuyuan took them to bypass the middle procedures.
They came to the last cave, and Jiang Wan suddenly took out several homemade masks from his sleeves.
"Put them all on."
As she spoke, she put one on herself first as a demonstration, and Song Jiuyuan did it without asking.
Although Uncle Cheng and Cheng Jin were confused, they also put on masks obediently.
Opening the last door, there is an aluminum mirror that has been almost cast, but there is still one final step to go.
That is to put them all into the cold storage and feel the coolness coming from the cave inside.
Cheng Jin and Uncle Cheng were confused, and a surprising guess came to their minds.
"What's inside?"
"Ice cubes."
Song Jiuyuan's words were concise and concise, but Cheng Jin and Uncle Cheng were extremely surprised.
Their eyes widened in surprise. It was sunny outside. Where did the ice come from?
Uncle Cheng's reaction speed was faster, "Xiao Jiang, can you still make ice cubes?"
"Yes." Jiang Wan did not deny it. Cheng Jin and Uncle Cheng were stunned on the spot.
Their eyes widened, and Cheng Jin spoke eloquently, "Jiang Wan, what else do you not know?"
"There are so many."
Jiang Wan doesn't have any sense of superiority. After all, living in modern times, she enjoys many more resources than they do.
Cheng Jin held his chin, which almost dropped in shock, "Jiang Wan, this ice business..."
"Stop it!"
Song Jiuyuan interrupted Cheng Jin. This guy only wanted to make money and didn't think about whether he could control it.
Hearing this, Uncle Cheng looked at Jiang Wan warmly, "Cheng Jin can't eat these by himself.
But our entire Cheng family can, Xiao Jiang, you can consider it. "
Ice is a big business. When the weather is hot, who wants to suffer if you can afford the money?
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other, and they remained silent in tacit understanding.
After a while, Song Jiuyuan finally said: "Second uncle, you know that I am now a thorn in the emperor's side."
"You don't have to worry about this. If I do this business, I will definitely not let them know that Jiuzhou is involved."
Second Uncle Cheng didn't know this, but he was really attracted to the ice cube.
"I'll think about this first."
Jiang Wan did not make a decision immediately. She watched as the workers took out the mirror from the cold storage.
"Come and see the effect."
The mirror that had been sent to the cold storage a long time ago was taken out, and it clearly reflected all of them.
Cheng Jin muttered, "Oh my god, why are my clothes wrinkled like this?"
He looked at himself in the mirror, feeling helpless.
Uncle Cheng walked around the mirror with satisfaction, exclaiming, "Xiao Jiang, this is no worse than the Nanyang Mirror.
It seems that the goods will be delivered to the shop soon. Then you can just wait for the cashier! "
"Second uncle, come in and take a look at the icehouse."
This is the first time Jiang Wan has come here since he gave Song Jiuyuan the method of making ice from saltpeter last time.
A group of people walked in. The cave was filled with huge wooden barrels, and each barrel was filled with shaped ice cubes.
So much so that when they walked in, they were shivering from the cold.
Cheng Jin curiously picked up a piece of crushed ice and said, "Jiang Wan, it's really yours!"
"If this thing flows into Kyoto, the palace can make a lot of money just from the supply."
Uncle Cheng was amazed. In previous years, the ice cubes used by the nobles in Kyoto in summer were all stored in the icehouse in winter.
The quantity is not much and it is consumed quickly.
Cheng Jin was holding an ice bucket now, his eyes shining.
"Song Jiuyuan, can I make a floor bunk here when summer comes?"
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan:...
Song Jiuyuan's mouth twitched, "If you need it, I'll just send someone to bring you some ice cubes."
"I need it, I need it so much!"
Cheng Jin reluctantly touched the ice, and the four of them didn't stay long after leaving the secret base.
Uncle Cheng couldn't wait to arrange for the mirrors to be shipped, and Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan happily cooperated.
After all, his people had spent a lot of money looking for raw materials and saltpeter, and it was just when silver was needed.
