"What are these things you are talking about?"
"I've never heard of it."
In Wang Chengming's room, he frowned, his face turned dark as he listened to what Ji Ping'an said, feeling that this boy was just telling nonsense.
What chemistry or something...
Ji Ping'an said: "Uncle Ming, when we dye cloth among the people now, most of them use many flowers or mineral raw materials."
"However, my method is not only cheaper, but also more effective. Although you haven't heard of it, you can try it."
Wang Chengming looked puzzled and looked at Ji Ping'an very suspiciously.
"How did you get this method you mentioned?"
Wang Chengming did not deny it directly, but asked Ji Ping'an this question.
Ji Ping'an sighed: "In the past few days, I was rummaging through boxes and cabinets for gambling, and I found a letter that my father wrote to me before he died. Every word was heart-breaking, and he spoke from the bottom of his heart. Especially, he asked me to see how things are around me and compare them with how they used to be. I suddenly realized that gambling is a word that cannot be contaminated."
"I have been in the casino for ten years. I will treat the Ji family well. The gambling will not even count the entire family. It can only be described as a ruin."
"I won't touch my virtuous wife at home, but I like to have thousands of people riding in the casino. I really won't change it."
"Dad used various methods to help me get rid of my gambling addiction before he was alive, and he even resorted to praying to God."
"And this dyeing was what he discovered in the process."
As Ji Ping'an spoke, his face was full of guilt and lifelike.
It brought tears to Wang Chengming's eyes, thinking of what good people the master and his wife were in the Ji family back then, but it was a pity that they died in depression.
He looked at Ji Ping'an now, and his heart felt a little sincere. After all, this was the child he had grown up with.
If you truly repent, as an elder, you can help.
Ji Ping'an said: "Uncle Ming, I will sell this method specifically to the Xu family. You can ask the Xu family to declare to the court that if the Xu family can seize the opportunity and become a special dye house for the royal family, it is not impossible."
Hearing this, Wang Chengming was so shocked that he stood up from his stool and exclaimed: "What did you say? Is this method really so powerful?"
Ji Pingan nodded, "Yes, basically there is no problem."
Wang Chengming's expression changed, and then he tore the paper in his hand into pieces.
"Bo Chang, this is what the master left for you. This can bring you countless wealth and revive the Ji family's reputation!"
"If you give it to the Xu family..."
"You can't kill the goose to get the eggs!"
Although he has been in the Xu family for several years, the Xu family still treats him well.
But the Ji family was in such difficulty, and Bo Chang felt remorseful, so he felt that he should help.
"Are you very short of money? I will give you thirty taels of silver, and I will go home and live a good life. Then I will use this to strengthen the Ji family and live a good life with Cuiyun. Then I will be satisfied."
Wang Chengming said with tears.
Ji Pingan refused: "Uncle Ming, I can't ask for this money. I, Ji Pingan, don't want to owe anyone else."
"I just hope to do a good business with the Xu family."
"Besides, there are many dyeing shops now. The Xu family may not dare to take over my stuff. It's too hot!"
Ji Ping'an actually refused him thirty taels of silver?
Has he really changed?
No longer want to get something for nothing?
"Uncle Ming, you can leave this recipe first and let the Xu family try it. If it succeeds, then give me money."
"And now, I do have a merciless request!"
Hearing this, Wang Chengming's face turned solemn: "You say it."
Ji Pingan touched his belly and said with a wry smile: "Can you give me a small amount of money so that I can buy some millet and meat? I have been such a bastard these years and Cuiyun has never had a good life. I want her to have a good meal today." "
Hearing this, Wang Chengming nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll give it to you right now."
Wang Chengming went to the accounting room and took out three coins.
By this time, Ji Ping'an had already written down the detailed steps.
"The above method can dye three different colors."
Ji Ping'an said a few words, took the copper coins and left.
Three hanging copper coins are still very heavy.
There are one hundred pieces of each hanging coin, and each copper coin is equivalent to ten coins.
It is a new copper coin minted in the reign of the emperor after he took office.
Not only does it reduce the number of copper coins, but it is also more convenient to carry.
…
"Ji Ping'an, who suffered a thousand cuts, actually wants to sell you. He should be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts."
In the simple Ji's house, there were voices of cursing.
An old woman with gray hair was angry and gnashing her teeth.
"Cuiyun, you'd better leave quickly. You can't believe what the bad gambler says. He said he wouldn't sell you. That's to stabilize you. I'm afraid he went out today to find a way to sell you to the casino people... "
"Don't be fooled."
"Here are the dishes and noodles that aunt gave you. Although they are not much, they are enough for you to go home."
"Let's go quickly."
Hearing what her neighbor Aunt Zhang said, Li Cuiyun lowered her head and said, "Aunt Zhang, I understand everything you said, but I still want to give my husband another chance..."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang was also anxious: "Girl, why are you so stubborn and stubborn?"
Li Cuiyun smiled sadly: "Aunt Zhang, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. I will be my husband's for the rest of my life. It is also my fate to do whatever I want. If he really insists on selling me, then I will only He could hang himself from a beam."
"you you……"
Aunt Zhang didn't care, forcibly pulled Li Cuiyun up and walked outside.
"I don't care, old lady, I have to pull you out of this pit of fire. Let that bastard Ji Ping'an sell it by himself."
Aunt Zhang is old, but Li Cuiyun has been undernourished for a long time and her body is too delicate. Instead, she is dragged away by Aunt Zhang and is unable to do anything.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Husband, you, are you back?"
Seeing the person coming, Li Cuiyun panicked and hurriedly broke away from Aunt Zhang's hand. If her husband found out that Aunt Zhang was taking her away, I'm afraid Aunt Zhang would have a hard time.
And Aunt Zhang picked up the crutch on the ground and hit Ji Ping'an.
"You bastard, you even want to sell Cuiyun! Anyway, I've had enough of this old lady. I won't miss the next few years. I'll beat you to death, bastard..."
Aunt Zhang is also very fierce.
Ji Pingan quickly flashed past and shouted: "Aunt Zhang, you misunderstood, I didn't sell Cuiyun, I really didn't sell her!"
"You can only lie to Cuiyun. You want to lie to me? You bad gambler!"
Aunt Zhang cursed and waved her crutch.
When Ji Ping'an saw this, he quickly grabbed the crutches and felt pain in his palms. Then he hurriedly said: "Aunt Zhang, I really didn't sell it. I just went to buy meat."
Aunt Zhang was panting.
Ji Ping'an took advantage of this opportunity to bring in the things outside the door.
A big bag of millet and wheat, a piece of pork, two fish, and various dishes.
Aunt Zhang was stunned.
These things are not available for the Chinese New Year.
"Aunt Zhang, come one."
Ji Ping'an knew that Aunt Zhang was a warm-hearted person. If it weren't for her, Li Cuiyun would have been unable to hold on.
So he picked up a pear and handed it to Aunt Zhang.
Then he rolled up his sleeves and took other things into the house.
"Aunt Zhang, I know that I am not a human being. I have been troublesome for your family all these years, so don't leave. Stay to have a meal and talk to Cuiyun."
Ji Ping'an spoke of honorifics and looked very polite, not letting Li Cuiyun do the work and started doing it himself.
Aunt Zhang was stunned at this look.
I feel like I'm dreaming.
How did Ji Ping'an, this beast, change for the better?
At this time, Ji Ping'an walked out of the room and took out a hairpin from his arms.
Standing behind Li Cuiyun, her long hair was tied up, making her look no longer slovenly.
Ji Ping'an walked up to Li Cuiyun, took her hands, and said softly: "Cuiyun, it's all my fault that I have made you suffer all these years."
"Don't worry, I really won't sell you, I will let you live a good life."
"Aunt Zhang, you are an elder, so you should serve as a witness."
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang was stunned for a long time, then nodded and snorted: "You better keep your word."
Li Cuiyun couldn't help sobbing.
She felt like she was alive again. It was just like a dream. If it was a dream, she would rather not wake up for the rest of her life.
When Ji Ping'an saw this, he felt heartbroken.
Then he asked Li Cuiyun and Aunt Zhang to sit down, and he went to work in the kitchen.
Listening to the whispers in the courtyard, Aunt Zhang praised Li Cuiyun's beautiful hairpin.
Ji Ping'an worked harder to restore the kitchen's vitality.
