Chapter 51 Start the experiment
After a while, Sun Ning'er walked directly to Chen Xiuping with the bill in hand.
"Are you sure how much it will cost to build this wooden tool?"
Chen Xiuping looked at the expenses recorded on the paper and was shocked. He did not expect the amount to be so large, but he was still confident that once this scented tea was released, it would definitely make money, so he nodded and confirmed.
After Su Ning'er confirmed Chen Xiuping's decision, she didn't ask any more questions. Her father said that he was here to help Chen Xiuping, but he was still a little worried in his heart. If the profit from the scented tea was not high by then, and what this business said to the outside world was
The business is in your own hands, and your reputation in the Su family will definitely decline.
Everything was ready, and Chen Xiuping stayed in this workshop. In the morning, he watched the carpenters making wooden tools. If there were any deviations, he would step forward to explain them. In the afternoon, he went to Wang Dao to continue to communicate with Wang Dao.
Liu Jianyuan must have something to do and has already said goodbye to Wang Dao.
As for the scented tea, Chen Xiuping also brought some to Wang Dao. After Wang Dao drank it, Wang Dao also praised it. In his opinion, the scented tea was no longer ordinary. When Wang Dao wanted to ask Chen Xiuping for more scented tea, Chen Xiuping hung up.
A royal appetite.
This is not because Chen Xiuping is unwilling to part with it, but because Chen Xiuping has already thought of how to promote this scented tea to the world. The Jianghuai Poetry Fair in the near future will be a good opportunity, and whether Wang Dao can get the key person for this opportunity, so we have to hang it.
Wang Dao's appetite will be easy to discuss when the time comes.
For several days, Chen Xiuping spent time like this. Looking at the sawdust all over his body, Chen Xiuping smiled bitterly. Throughout the ages, people have to endure hardships if they want to accomplish anything.
Finally, at noon on the sixth day, all the carpenters shouted happily, "It's done. This wooden tool is one of the top three most complicated ones they have made over the years. It's done." They all shouted happily.
Chen Xiuping, who had finished his meal and was taking a nap in a chair, woke up. Finally, the creation was completed, and Suning'er also walked out of the room not far away.
In order to check the progress of the construction at all times, Suning'er lived here like Chen Xiuping. In this place full of men, Suning'er persisted for the sake of business. Of course, Suning'er did not live with Chen Xiuping, but
Living next door to Chen Xiuping, Suning'er definitely has no intention of handing her body over to Chen Xiuping now.
Afterwards, Chen Xiuping quickly asked his servants to move the things to the baking place. As for the place to bake scented tea, Chen Xiuping had already chosen it on the way to Wang Dao's house in the afternoons of the past few days. It was an old house by the Jianghuai River.
, it is close to the river, the water source is convenient, and there are not many residents around, so it is very suitable.
After moving to the old house, a group of carpenters began to assemble it. Even though there were so many small parts, so many carpenters assembled it in no time.
Looking at the baking utensils on the big pit, Chen Xiuping felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time in this new Song Dynasty.
After saying goodbye to the group of carpenters, Sun Ning'er was about to ask what to do next when she heard Chen Xiuping's question.
"That carpenter is really a genius. Madam, can you tell me the old man's name?"
"I don't know his name, but my father once told me that the old man's ancestors were named Gongshu and Ban. Because he was from Shandong, he was also called Lu Ban."
He is actually a descendant of Lu Ban. No wonder he can create such a complicated utensil of his own design. After sighing with emotion, Chen Xiuping asked Suning'er to start ordering his servants to bring over peach blossom petals and tea leaves.
Although he has the utensils, Chen Xiuping doesn't have a specific recipe in mind for how to bake. The last time he baked in a food box, it was because the utensils were small and he could check the heat and the degree of roasting of the scented tea at any time.
For such a large utensil, once baking begins, you definitely cannot open it at will. And for a six-story utensil, it is very difficult to open it even if you want to.
Therefore, his current task is very important, which is to master the heat and the ratio of roasted peach blossom petals and tea leaves within a limited time. This is not difficult for Chen Xiuping, but the premise is that the time is limited,
It's a little difficult.
Chen Xiuping first calculated how many petals and tea leaves could be placed on each layer, and then calculated the ratio of petals and tea leaves in the food box he was using, and then expanded it according to a one to one ratio. Of course, all these calculation methods are the same.
It was a modern calculation method used by Chen Xiuping. Suning'er looked at it in confusion.
"Does Madam find it so interesting?"
Chen Xiuping joked when he saw that Sun Ning'er was fascinated.
Sun Ning'er didn't find it interesting, but she had never seen anything like this before, so she looked a little curious: "It's not interesting, it's just that I've never seen it before."
"Haha, it's just some basic arithmetic. There's no need for Madam to be curious."
Sun Ning'er rolled her eyes at Chen Xiuping and pretended that she really had never learned arithmetic. She was also a trader after all. How could she calculate accounts if she didn't know arithmetic? However, Chen Xiuping started to calculate again. Sun Ning'er did not continue talking for fear of disturbing Chen Xiuping.
Repair.
"Okay, ma'am, I will tell you later how to add petals, how much to add, how to add tea leaves, and how much to add. You must record it. This is very important."
After Chen Xiuping made the calculations, he gave Sun Ning'er some instructions, and then ordered his servants to start adding petals and tea leaves layer by layer.
Chapter completed!
