Xu Hanliang could see the value of these two round pearls at a glance.
Unlike modern pearls that can be cultivated and manufactured artificially, the pearls of this era are all naturally formed from the real seabed.
If fishermen are lucky, they can remove pearls from the body of sea clams. Most products will not be cured like this.
The price of these two pearls alone is no less than five hundred taels of silver.
"What a beautiful pearl."
When the young mother saw the pearl for the first time, she was amazed.
Even Xu Hanliang was a little surprised.
"These two pearls are the reward for this poetry meeting."
Master Li looked at the two of them and explained.
If you can invite a well-known courtesan in the capital, the price will definitely not be too low.
You must know that Master Li at this time was only twenty-eight years old, that is, he was somewhat famous in the capital.
After a few years, Li Shishi's name will be spread all over the world and she will become one of the most famous prostitutes in history.
When the time comes, if you want to ask Mr. Li to go on a tour, it won't be measured by money.
"You'd better keep the two pearls carefully. Don't reveal your wealth in vain. Remember this principle when you are away from home."
Xu Hanliang looked at the somewhat cute Li Shishi and said helplessly.
Although Li Shishi grew up in the dust since she was a child, her mother did a good job of protecting her.
Of course, this is not because the mother in the brothel is so kind, but because she wants to cultivate her value so that she can sell it for a lot of money.
Master Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"If there is something to do at home, let me do it."
She seemed a little uneasy and then said.
"You're not going back?"
Xu Hanliang looked at Master Li and asked.
Li Shishi naturally understood where Xu Hanliang was referring to.
He nodded firmly: "I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back anymore."
Looking at Master Li's resolute expression, Xu Hanliang smiled softly: "Well, if you are willing, there is still a room in the humble house. You can live with my mother-in-law on weekdays."
"What about you?"
Master Li was slightly startled.
"Me? I've always lived in the study room."
Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled.
When Master Li heard this, his face turned red and he spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Aren't you sleeping with a young girl?"
"Here," Xu Hanliang smiled helplessly: "You should take a rest first, I will go out to buy some new year's goods first."
The Spring Festival in the Song Dynasty was particularly lively, and even the people on the street had smiles on their faces.
No matter how hard their daily lives are, the arrival of the New Year seems to be a reward for them.
There are hawker stalls like a long queue, starting from the street and ending at the end of the street.
Some juggling performers on the roadside received waves of cheers from onlookers.
For example, the Spring Festival is approaching this year, so the money they can earn is also a lot more.
These street jugglers are all strong and muscular. From the first glance, they often travel around. They probably also have martial arts skills.
Xu Hanliang is somewhat interested in these things.
In fact, when he first came to this era, Xu Hanliang went out of his way to find out if he really had any kind of chivalrous skills or the ability to fly over walls and fly over walls.
In the end, he was a little disappointed. This world was no different from the world in history.
There may be people who are highly skilled in martial arts, but they have no so-called internal strength.
As for flying over eaves and walking over walls, they are just some tricks played by gentlemen in Liang Shang at most, and are not as powerful as the martial arts novels in Xu Hanliang's memory.
Although Xu Hanliang was a little disappointed when he heard this, he didn't think much about it.
A chivalrous person uses martial arts to break the law. Even if he has martial arts skills, there is nothing he can do in front of the state machine.
Xu Hanliang didn't purchase many things. He just rented a carriage and loaded all the goods into it.
With one more person in the family, Xu Hanliang naturally had to buy more things.
But before going home, Xu Hanliang still had to take a trip to the Red Mansion.
The secret recipe Xu Hanliang has not yet been handed over to Sun Chengde, but this time it can be handed over to him easily.
The agreement had already been drafted by the other party, and Xu Hanliang only needed to sign his name.
I still believe in Xu Hanliang in Red Mansions, and it is unlikely that he will harm himself.
After all, a big business like this cherishes its reputation very much.
Making money is only one of the purposes of the Red House. Another purpose is that the Red House also accepts many dignitaries who come to Pingjiang Mansion.
In addition, Xu Hanliang had also met the owner of the Red Mansion before, and I felt that the old man was quite reliable.
As soon as he arrived at the Red Mansion, Sun Chengde greeted him warmly.
Xu Hanliang took advantage of the situation and handed the secret recipe he had written before to Sun Chengde from his pocket.
The process of manufacturing MSG itself is not that troublesome, but there are many steps.
These processes can be handed over to different craftsmen to conceal how MSG is manufactured.
Although MSG is unlikely to be as popular as salt.
But if the quantity is large, it will also be a shocking profit.
Others don't know it, but Sun Chengde has a clear plan.
During this period of time, the passenger flow of their Red Building has more than doubled or tripled.
Part of this is because the New Year is approaching, so many people come to perform toothpaste rituals.
But the bigger reason is still because of the use of MSG.
In addition to MSG, Xu Hanliang also talked to Sun Chengde about the production method of chicken essence.
Chicken essence itself is a mixture of MSG and chicken powder, and the taste is more delicious.
This also made Sun Chengde feel like he had found a treasure, and his eyes almost disappeared from laughter.
Xu Hanliang also set the settlement method as half a month, and the account books will also be sent to Xu Hanliang's home.
In fact, with the money Xu Hanliang now has, he can also buy a more spacious house.
But Xu Hanliang doesn't have such an idea yet, and the old house is quite suitable.
There are only three people in his family. If they had moved to a large and spacious house, it would have been deserted.
Xu Hanliang never really liked being served by others, so it was enough to have his young mother alone.
After finishing these things, Xu Hanliang returned home.
But halfway through, Xu Hanliang saw the notice posted in the Yamen.
After Xu Hanliang took a casual glance, he discovered that there was actually a portrait of Li Shishi on the notice.
The text below the portrait shows that this is the escaped Qinghuan.
In the Song Dynasty at this time, the status of promiscuous women was extremely low.
Since Master Li has sold himself to a brothel, he is actually considered a member of the brothel.
For such slaves who have escaped, even in the Song Dynasty, they still need to be captured.
Looking at the notice in front of him, Xu Hanliang's expression gradually became serious.
