Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 45 Plaster
Wanting to sell spices, but except for the star anise, the others have not been picked, so Mingyu can only give up this idea.Thinking about the fields at home and the open land on the mountain, there were many insects and ants in ancient times. If the insects and ants were not killed, the food would not be enough for them to eat.

The medicines used in the farmland in the previous life were all chemical ingredients. Although Mingyu knew it, but in the backward ancient times, and with a family like Mingyu, there was no way to conduct experiments at all.Mingyu had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to buy some herbs to kill insects and ants.

"Man, I want to buy some herbs that can kill insects and ants. Here are the blueprints. You can pick them up according to the above quantity." Mingyu took out the herbal medicine blueprints that she had drawn at home and handed them to the counter.

Although you can find some in the mountains, they are not complete after all, and you need to use it on a large scale.These herbs are available in modern times, let alone in ancient times, they just have different names.

During this period of time, Mingyu followed them tomorrow to learn to know the characters here. Because of her own foundation, Mingyu quickly knew all the characters of the Thousand Characters learned tomorrow and tomorrow.

The clerk picked up two piles of herbs, and then calculated the money. The total was 12 taels of silver. Mingyu added 300 Wen, and asked the clerk to help grind the herbs into powder.These herbal medicines are usually boiled into water, but Mingyu grinds the medicinal materials into powder, and then brews them with water in proportion to make insecticides for use.Although it is not as good as the chemical pesticides in the previous life, the effect is still good.

This time, Mingyu, who was sitting and waiting, saw an old man walking in with a basket on his back.The old man walked to the counter, put down the basket, and said in a sad voice to the man inside, "Man, please, just accept these white stones. My old lady is seriously ill, and I only count on this little money." to buy medicine."

Mingyu's eyes lit up when she looked at the things in the basket.It was plaster.When I was young, my grandfather would make tofu every Chinese New Year. After the soy milk was cooked, my grandfather would add something to the soy milk, and then the soy milk would turn into bean curd, and then the bean curd would be poured into molds to squeeze out the water, and it would become tofu.The thing added is gypsum powder, which is calcined in a fire and then ground into powder.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't accept it, but that there are too many white stones in our store. The forty catties you brought back last time are only sold for one or two ounces now, and we really can't accept any more. " said the man in embarrassment
Mingyu stood up and walked towards the old man, "Grandpa, how do you sell this white stone?"

Seeing that it was a little girl, the old man was not well dressed, so he said without hope, "One penny is one catty, here is fifty catties."

Fifty catties is not too much, Mingyu does not plan to make tofu by herself, but wants to sell the method of tofu, and then sell gypsum powder exclusively.Suddenly, the image of Shen Yiyun appeared in his mind, that guy should be able to eat that much.

"Grandpa, I want them all, but I may have to ask you to help me get them to the place where the ox carts are stored at the gate of the town. I will give your family five cents for hard work, how about it?"

The old man didn't expect that this little girl not only wanted it, but also finished it, but when she heard that she was going to pay for her hard work, she waved her hands again and again, "No, little girl, I'm already very grateful to you for buying our white stone, It should help you get it, and there is no need for hard work."

Although the old man said so, Mingyu was still determined to pay for the hard work.
