[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Chen Ronggui thought for a while, and felt that Jia She was in a hurry because of the breaking of the monthly schedule. Although he came from a merchant family, he was not as intriguing as his family. Silver, why don't I lend you some, and I can pay you back later when you have more money."

Chen Ronggui didn't want Jia She to pay back the money at all, but he was afraid that Jia She would not accept his money in vain, so he made this statement.

As for making Xuan paper, Chen Ronggui didn't take it seriously, because ordinary people have this kind of technology, which one doesn't hide it, treat it like a family heirloom, how can anyone take it out and do business with others?

Jia Amnesty's heart warmed, and they all said that a friend in adversity is a friend, and the ancients never deceived me. Compared with those cronies and friends who are scattered when the tree falls, Chen Ronggui is the real friend.

"I know you don't believe me, but I don't want your money either," Jia She said while squinting his eyes slightly, "This recipe for making rice paper was passed down to me by my grandmother, and it's an absolutely good thing. Besides, I am not empty talk, you look at this thing."

After Jia Amnesty said this, he took out a knife of rice paper from his book bag and pushed it in front of Chen Ronggui.

Fortunately, in the past few days, he had already ordered Lin Wen and Lin Wu to buy some materials to make by himself, and got a lot of results, otherwise it would be really tricky at this time.

Chen Ronggui took it over, and stretched out his hand to caress it carefully, with a look of surprise on his brows and eyes, the feeling of the hand——

"Brother Chen, why don't you try writing with a pen to know whether the paper is good or not?" Jia Amnesty smiled and laid out the four treasures of the study, and personally handed over the brush dipped in ink.

Chen Ronggui held the brush, but couldn't bear to do it.

This rice paper is really good, it looks like snow, feels like jade, and feels smooth in the hands, compared with the rice paper he used in the past, it is a world of difference.

"This, this..." Chen Ronggui felt sacrilege even when he picked up a pen and wrote on it. Such a fine paper should be bathed and burnt incense, and then write after meditation.

"Brother Chen, write it, there will be plenty of paper in the future." Jia She said with a smile.

Only then did Chen Ronggui dare to start writing. He hung his elbow in the air, thought for a while, and wrote the word "one". He saw that the lines were neat and there was no ink left. The black and white characters made Chen Ronggui's hand only neat The handwriting actually has a bit more lean and elegant feeling.

"Okay, this paper is really good!" Chen Ronggui is a person who understands goods. Their Chen family is a big merchant. They have never seen any kind of paper in the world, but today, this paper made him admire.

"Brother Chen, have you ever seen rice paper like this?" Jia She asked.

Chen Ronggui shook his head, "No, it's just that the rice paper is expensive, right?"

Jia She smiled and said nothing, he made a gesture.

Chen Ronggui took a deep breath, then nodded thoughtfully, "The cost of 30 taels is enough."

"No." Jia Amnesty shook his head, with a half-smile on his face.

"Three taels?" Chen Ronggui was taken aback, and then his eyes were full of joy. If the cost was three taels, then they could sell these rice papers for [-] taels. Thinking about it, there are still a lot of people waving silver tickets to buy them. It can be deducted, only the four treasures of the study are the most willing to spend money.

"No, it's Sanwen." Jia Amnesty said casually after taking a sip of tea.

"What?!" Chen Ronggui stood up from the chair, he couldn't believe it, "This, this paper costs only [-] yuan."

"Yes. If we mass-produce, the cost will be lower then." Jia Amnesty tapped the table with his fingertips, and he lowered his voice, "Brother Chen, just imagine, this business, How much money can we make?"

Following his words, Chen Ronggui fell into deep thought. A knife of such good rice paper would cost at least [-] taels of silver a knife, and such a low cost, plus some hiring costs, would not exceed one tael at best. That is to say, for every dollar sold, they earn at least [-] taels.

After he figured it out, Chen Ronggui's face flushed red, his lips trembled excitedly, and he didn't know what to say.

Their Chen family relied on going south and north, selling goods from the north to the south, and selling goods from the south to the north, hoarding and hoarding to grow the family business, but no matter what kind of business, there is no huge profit from this business.

If it wasn't for the fear that Jia She would be disgusted, Chen Ronggui would have wanted to hug Jia She.

"This, this..." Chen Ronggui paced back and forth in the room excitedly, while Jia Amnesty drank tea and waited for him to calm down.

After Chen Ronggui finally calmed down, he stood in front of Jia Amnesty and took a deep breath, "Brother Jia, this is a serious matter. I want to go back and discuss it with my family. Wait for my reply."

Jia Amnesty nodded, Chen Ronggui's reaction was not beyond his expectation, it was Chen Ronggui's reaction that really valued the deal.

Chen Ronggui quickly went downstairs and left.

When Jia Amnesty went downstairs to pay the bill, after learning that he had already paid the bill, he couldn't laugh or cry, but his heart was filled with warmth.

This guy is really careful, but he doesn't think I'm so poor that I can't even afford a meal, right?While thinking about it, Jia She shook his head helplessly and left.
