Chapter 5 Finding a Way of Making Money
After walking for a while, Li Hao followed Li Yi into the sewing shop. Li Yi went to buy things with the merchants to negotiate prices. Li Hao then walked around the shop and saw that the sewing shop looked like a grocery store in later generations.
Same thing. In addition to sewing tools such as needles, threads, and thimbles, they also sell bronze mirrors, combs, spinning machines, and woven cloth.
But looking at Li Hao, he felt heartbroken. Why? Because he discovered that there are many things that can actually make money. For example, glass, such as Jenny spinning machine, these can make huge profits, but he
No. Glass is okay. He at least knows how to use quartz sand, soda ash, and high-temperature firing. Although he doesn’t know the specific proportions, he can always give it a try in the future. But as for the Jenny spinning machine, it’s really difficult.
What you have never seen before can only be missed.
With the attitude that if they didn't pick it up, they would lose it, they waited with a grimace for Li Yi to come out after shopping. Li Yi was shocked. He thought someone was bullying Li Hao, so he asked anxiously what was going on.
What could Li Hao say? It couldn't be said that he didn't have enough time travel skills. He had to say it was okay, and then he took Li Yi and hurriedly came out to stay away from the pain.
After coming out, I just walked a few steps forward when I smelled the aroma of delicious food. I looked up and saw a big restaurant in front of me, with the three characters "Food is the Sky" written on it.
At this time, Li Yi saw Li Hao stopped and looked at Shiweitian, so he asked: "Are you hungry? Let's go buy something to eat. This restaurant is too expensive and we can't afford it."
."
After hearing this, Li Hao wanted to make money more quickly, otherwise the people who eat would not be free. At this time, he saw a donkey cart pulling water behind the restaurant. Li Hao's heart was moved, and he remembered that he had seen gutter oil used to make soap in his previous life.
He was curious about the news at the time and went to find out how to make it. He was so excited that he walked over to the water tanker.
After all, with his current money, he can't afford good oil. Even if he asks Wei and Li Jian for it, if they say they can make a lot of money with this thing, he knows they won't believe it, and it's more likely that they will be
Take a beating. At this time, I happened to be looking at this bucket. If I could take out the gutter oil in it, it would be a huge profit.
However, this behavior made Li Yi stunned for a moment. Before Li Yi could react, Li Hao had already run to the water truck, jumped on it and opened the lid of the water bucket. Suddenly, a rotten smell swept over him.
Come on, Li Yi took one look at it, quickly closed the lid, and jumped in.
After just a few operations, the man who was pulling the water cart, Shi Weitian, didn't even react. He saw a man jumping up and down repeatedly, which really shocked him.
Then after seeing it clearly, he directly scolded: "Which kid do you belong to? Why are you so unreasonable?" Then when he saw Li Yi standing behind Li Hao, he said to Li Yi: "Why don't you take good care of this kid and run around everywhere?
If you don’t discipline and discipline them well.”
When Li Yi saw this, he could only apologize hurriedly. But Li Hao fell into a sluggish state. This was because of the pungent smell, and secondly, the water he was pouring looked clear and watery, and there were no oily flowers in sight.
, naturally he couldn’t make gutter oil, and even if he could make it, he wouldn’t want to practice it anymore, it’s too smelly.
After slowing down for a while, Li Hao pretended to be cute and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I just want to see what is served in such a big restaurant, but this restaurant doesn't look very good. There is no fishy taste, not even the oil."
Can’t even see it.”
After hearing this, the Shiweitian clerk said: "What do you know? There are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas in the building every day. To talk about this oil, you need two tanks at noon alone. I guess your family won't be able to use it for a year."
After hearing this, Li Hao felt happy and asked pretending to be curious: "How do you deal with so much oil?"
"Of course it's going to fall over. If you fry it for a long time, it's easy to have problems." After saying that, the waiter reacted and said impatiently: "Go, go, go to the side, I'm still going to fry it."
I have to work."
At this time, Li Hao counted out four cents from his pocket, handed it to the clerk directly, and said: "I've never seen so much oil before. I'm curious and want to take a look. Can you help me? I'll be outside then. Can you help me?"
Show me and I'll help you empty it."
The waiter looked suspicious at this time and said: "It really can't be used after frying. Not only does the oil turn extremely dark, but it will also cause problems when people eat it. I can't be held responsible for that."
After hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly explained: "I really just want to see what I can gain, and no one is stupid enough to harm himself."
The waiter was right after thinking about it and took the money. Then he said: "Okay, if you want to pay here, we will wait until lunch is over. You can come over here and wait for me at about three o'clock." After that,
He pulled the water tanker and drove away.
Here Li Yi looked at Li Hao with a confused look on his face and asked: "Why do you want that oil? Didn't I tell you that it can't be used? Why don't you waste this money and wait until you go back to see how your mother will deal with you?"
After hearing this, Li Hao said nonchalantly: "No, my mother will praise me when I finish the things." After saying that, he pulled Li Yi, who looked unbelieving, and walked out, saying: "Let's go quickly.
Just buy steamed buns, and then you have to buy something that can hold oil."
Li Yi followed, but he was really helpless in his heart. He felt that he was a prodigal, and he couldn't help but feel worried for brother Li Jian.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the Shiwei Tianhou Gate. After loading the oil in the oil baskets they bought, they got up and headed to the gathering place at the city gate.
On the other side, after Li Jian separated, he first went to the city to find out where Qingtan Academy was. When he found out that it was ten miles south of the city, he hurried over.
Arriving next to the academy, one can see a cluster of pavilions and gardens among towering ancient trees, perhaps where sages wrote poems and calligraphy. The palaces and pavilions are also imbued with a quiet and elegant charm.
The vermilion door is open, and the winding corridors form a huge complex of buildings that are well-proportioned and complement each other with the Sacrament Hall as the center.
There are more than 80 halls in the academy, including Yushu Pavilion, Minglun Hall, Zongru Ci, Pantheon, Zhongjie Temple, etc.
The Sacred Ceremony Hall is a hall used by students to pay homage to Confucius. The two plaques above the door have the words "Learn from Heaven" and "Teacher to All Ages" written on them.
Li Jian had never seen such a grand and majestic courtyard. He was shocked for a while and then hurriedly walked inside. At this time, the academy had not started yet and there were few people. Li Jian had to find someone along the way to ask, who knew?
Regarding the admission of new students, those who were ignorant went to the academy principal.
When he saw the person, Li Jian hurriedly saluted and said hello. At this time, the mountain chief returned the salute and asked Li Jian to get up, and then asked, "I don't know who you are, and what brings you here today."
Li Jian replied: "My surname is Li, and I am from Dashu Village, Jiangdu County. My son is now seven years old and can read and read, so I want him to go to the academy to study theory. So I came to disturb the old gentleman and want to ask you, how do you do it?"
Only then can you enter school.”
After hearing this, the mountain chief was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dashu Village, there used to be a Wei Ying and Wei Xiucai there."
After hearing this, Li Jian said with confusion: "That is my father-in-law. He passed away from illness a few years ago. The old gentleman also knew him."
The mountain leader nodded and said, "Wei Ying, he originally studied under me, but it's a pity that he died young." The mountain leader felt sad for a while, and then said, "If you want to enter school, you still have to pass the exam.
That's right, he can memorize hundreds of surnames and a thousand-character essay now."
Li Jian said at this time: "I didn't know this. I can't write. My wife taught him to read and write at home. But a few days ago, he was able to learn the Analects of Confucius and memorized it quite well."
After hearing this, the mountain director was surprised: "Well, let's do it. The academy will not start classes for ten days. You can bring your children over two days in advance and take the exam in person. If there are no problems, they can be admitted to the academy.
."
After hearing this, Li Jian immediately replied: "Okay, I will bring the child over on time."
