Time flies, and it’s been three years in the blink of an eye.
In the past three years, Li Jie studied in accordance with Mu Nianci's wishes. In fact, according to his academic level, he did not need to study step by step at all. The knowledge of the teachers at the college was far inferior to him. However, in order to make his change less abrupt, he I still honestly chose to go to school.
The purpose of most people's studies is to take the exam and become an official. The purpose of Li Jie's study was firstly not to disappoint Mu Nianci, and secondly to gain a good background. Although he did not intend to get involved in the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty, in this world where everything was low-class, Only in the era of higher education and official status, it will be relatively easier to do other things.
The imperial examination system of the Southern Song Dynasty was inherited from the Northern Song Dynasty, and was quite different from the Northern Song Dynasty in some details. However, overall the changes were not significant, that is, there were slight changes in the time and content of the imperial examinations. The general framework was still that of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the old system of the period, one would first pass the imperial examination to gain the status of a civil servant, and then go to Beijing to take part in the provincial and imperial examinations.
Li Jie plans to take the imperial examination in a few years. The title of child prodigy is harmful rather than helpful to him. He has too much aura and will inevitably attract attention, and some of the things he does should not be known to too many people.
As the saying goes, if you enter the village secretly, you won’t want to shoot anyone!
In addition to school, Li Jie has not been idle in the past three years. First of all, his progress in martial arts has been rapid. In the first world, he has already experienced the realm of a great master. At this time, he can start to advance again at a natural speed. Far beyond ordinary people.
Half a year ago, he opened up all the meridians in his body, including the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. He made a breakthrough along the way and returned to the previous state. Now he has roughly understood Mu Nianci's state, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has been completed. No breakthrough yet.
As for the blacksmith of unknown origin, Li Jie has not yet figured out his specific realm and origin, but it is not without gain after such a long time.
This person is most likely from the north, his identity is unknown, and he is most likely a master-level expert. If he hadn't been clever in gathering breath, he might not have been able to hide it from him.
On this day, the wind was sunny and sunny. Li Jie returned home from school from the private school in a neighboring village with his book box on his back. The villagers in Niujia Village greeted him very warmly along the way. Li Jie responded to everyone's greetings from time to time. Among them A middle-aged man holding a fish basket said with a smile.
"Da Lang! Is it early enough to start school today? A certain family happened to catch a few fish. Come, come, come, take two home to eat!"
"Yes, Mr. Jin has something to do in the afternoon, so he released it early. Oh, this fish is really big, uncle, so I won't be rude."
"You're welcome, you've helped us so much, a few fish are nothing!"
No one in Niujia Village knows that the beautiful widow in the village has given birth to a good son, who is proficient in reading, farming, hunting, and making money. He is a role model for other children.
Studying has always been an expensive thing in ancient times. Ordinary farmers can't afford to support a scholar, but this boy is good. Since he studied, the family has not only not lost money, but has made money.
If Li Jie was the only one who made money, the villagers would be envious of him, but they would never be so enthusiastic about him. The reason why the villagers are so enthusiastic about him is entirely because this man not only makes money himself, but also takes them to make money with him. .
As we all know, the Song people's pursuit of exquisite food far exceeded that of previous dynasties. There are thousands of large restaurants, restaurants, and street shops in Lin'an City. The preserved eggs that Li Jie made the year before last became an instant hit in Lin'an City, and then he Taught the villagers in Niujia Village step by step how to make preserved eggs.
Generally speaking, if someone had such a secret recipe, most people would probably keep it secret for fear of being learned by outsiders, but Songhua Dan is just a casual creation of Li Jie. A method of making money like this is in his mind. I don’t know how many there are, but I don’t mind letting them go.
There are only a few dozen households in Niujia Village. Compared with the huge market demand in Lin'an City, it is obviously unable to be met by just one village. In addition to teaching the villagers how to make it, Li Jie also sells the secret recipe to many companies at a very low price. Not expensive, ranging from dozens to hundreds.
The price was almost free of charge, but Li Jie didn't expect to make a lot of money with this secret recipe. What really made a lot of money was the recipe for making sugar. Although he didn't make sugar on a large scale in the past few years, he only made it occasionally every month. He made a few batches here and there, but even so, he earned nearly 200,000 yuan from sugar production in three years. Of course, he kept this income from Mu Nianci, for fear of scaring her.
The reason why the secret recipe of preserved eggs is sold to many people is mainly to prevent it from being targeted by interested people. The reason why it is a secret is because few people know about it. Once more people know about it, the secret is no longer a secret.
A secret recipe that has been sold to many people is no longer a secret recipe and will spread sooner or later, but there will be a time lag in between. Those who spend money to buy the secret recipe rely on this time lag to make money. Some big restaurants with deep pockets buy this recipe. Fang Zi was not there to make money at all, but to enrich the recipes of his own restaurant. After all, the profit of this thing was not high, and it took a lot of effort. Those big merchants still looked down upon this little profit.
The profit is not high compared to those big merchants. For the people of Niujia Village, the income brought by preserved eggs is already very considerable. They spend fifteen to twenty cash to buy duck eggs from other villages, and then After being made with special techniques, it takes about a month and then is sold to a wine shop in Lin'an Prefecture for about twenty-five cents.
Li Jie's move is tantamount to giving money directly to the villagers. In these days, the country people have a lot of strength, but they have no way to make money. If farmers are more diligent, in the long run, the income from this alone can be comparable to the total income for the whole year in the past.
Who wouldn't be grateful to him? In the past two years, the villagers have been sending all kinds of things to their homes, including rice, pork, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, and eggs. Occasionally, villagers who work part-time as hunters will also send them. His family sent him various kinds of game.
At first, Mu Nianci kept resisting, but she couldn't resist the simple villagers. Gradually, she got used to it. She also knew in her heart that the value of the secret recipe passed down to them by her son far exceeded these things, so she simply ignored it. From then on, the family basically didn't need to go to the market to buy food. The food given by the villagers was enough for the two of them.
"By the way, Dalang, it seems like you have a guest at your house today. You should go back and take a look!"
'guest? What kind of guests can come to the house? Mu Nianci was adopted by Yang Tiexin since she was a child. Since Yang Tiexin and Yang Kang passed away one after another, where did she get her relatives? '
