Seeing that the ink would not fade after drying, Ye Muyu smiled faintly. “It seems that I succeeded time. However, there are still some flaws. I can pay more attention to some details.”
“Congratulations, Madam.” Madam Hu said with a smile. Although she did not know much, she knew that if she could make her own ink, not to mention making money, they would have less money to spend on their studies in the future.
Ye Muyu was also in a good mood. She had a good memory, so she could remember some of the things she had seen in her previous life. However, what she had seen was theoretical knowledge. When she really did it, there would always be errors due to operational errors.
Who knew that she would actually succeed this time? It seemed that her luck was not bad.
Although there were still some flaws, it was still a good start.
In the afternoon, Ye Muyu brought Madam Hu to make Oil Smoke Ink.
Every time she did it, she recorded the data.
The ones that she had made earlier were placed in a small wooden box and were well preserved.
In the afternoon, Chu Heng came back with Lu Chuan.
As soon as Lu Chuan returned, he went straight to Ye Muyu to report the situation.
Chu Heng entered the courtyard and swept his gaze across the courtyard. He then saw the ink block. A look of understanding flashed across his eyes as he looked at Madam Hu who was walking out of the kitchen.
“Come in with me.”
“Yes, Master.” Madam Hu looked at Chu Heng’s calm appearance and could not figure out what he was going to ask. Her heart was racing, but she did not dare to show it on her face. In the end, whatever Chu Heng asked, she would answer.
On Ye Muyu’s side…
Sitting in the central room, Lu Chuan walked in and bowed before taking out the money pouch from his waist.
“Madam, this is the money for selling the honey grapefruit tea.” After Ye Muyu took the money, Lu Chuan began to report in detail.
“I’ll take ten jars of honey grapefruit tea to the county. I’ll give one jar each to
Third Young Master Xie, Young Master Du, and Dean Zhang.”
“As for the rest, I’ll sell them directly in the market. I’m lucky. Coincidentally, there were merchant ships coming to the county today. Many merchants came to the market to buy rare goods.”
“I took out the honey grapefruit tea and it was bought by two rich merchants. According to Madam’s request, each jar was sold for two taels of silver, a total of fourteen taels.”
“You did well. Are the merchants still in the county?” Ye Muyu thought of Zhuge Locks. As long as there was money to be made, these merchants were willing to buy these rare things.
“I heard that they’ll be staying for three days,” Lu Chuan nodded.
“Alright then, go and discuss with Chu Xing later and see if we can sell Zhuge
Locks to these traveling merchants.” Lu Chuan instantly understood. “I think it’s feasible.”
“Then you can go back to your work.”
Ye Muyu did not delay his work. The honey grapefruit tea cost about four taels of silver, mainly because honey was expensive. Now, it was considered a profit.
Ten taels profit was not bad.
Ye Muyu was quite satisfied. This kind of food was most suitable for a long-term business. It was actually quite difficult to make a lot of money in one go, and she was not greedy.
Ye Muyu did not pay attention to the fact that she did not see Madam Hu when she left the central room.
She returned to the east wing and placed the silver back into the wooden box.
“Mother, we’re back.” At this moment, Chu Jin and Ziluo’s joyful voices sounded from outside.
Ye Muyu heard the sound and bent down to put the wooden box away. After locking it, she tidied her clothes and walked out.
It was getting late and the sky was starting to darken..
