The father-in-law's business is divided into two types: a business deal and a business without a business. A business deal revolves around food, clothing, housing and transportation. A single word of food is divided into food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, etc. The business is big and small. Some people take orders and go to the streets to be business, some people open shops and are also business, some people specialize in designated merchants or business, and some people go to the Western Regions desert to exchange for the same business. These businesses are large and the profit margin is linked to cost risks. There are exceptions. Some businesses do not open for half a year and eat for half a year, such as selling treasure jewelry and buying and selling famous calligraphy and paintings.

Li Laihe said: "This business that has a solid business requires a rich business. Poor families can deal with two copper coins when they have a meal. Rich people have nowhere to move their chopsticks. Fortunately, they only buy expensive ones, are rich and do not care."

Jiang Anyi nodded repeatedly, worthy of being an old businessman, and he was clear-headed. He poured a glass of wine and clinked a glass. Li Laihe was energetic. He didn't talk much on weekdays, and he could talk like Yuan Huajiang at critical moments.

If you have no business, you will work hard with a shoulder pole, helping people watch shops and be a shopkeeper, and teach children in private schools. This is the hardest thing in business without money. Then you will open a brothel and set up a casino, which is the most powerful thing; or you will be lucky enough to dig a treasure mine and mine quietly; finally you will burn, kill, loot, and do everything evil. In short, the more powerful the business you violate the "Da Zheng Law", the richer you will be.

The working people's eyes are bright, and Jiang Anyi admires his father-in-law's analysis so well that these principles cannot be seen from books.

"What is the biggest no-price deal? An Yi, do you know?" Li Laihe asked with a little drunkenness.

Jiang Anyi shook his head, Li Laihe smiled and said, "Just become an official. After three years of Qing Dynasty magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes. Is there any faster money than becoming an official business?"

"Old man, are you drunk, what are you talking about?" Seeing that Jiang Anyi was a little embarrassed, Li Wu hurriedly stopped Li Laihe.

"Don't stop me, what are your son-in-law afraid of?" Li Laihe didn't care at all while drinking.

Li Wu had to smile at Jiang Anyi and said, "You don't know if you drink some wine. Son-in-law, don't be surprised."

"The family doesn't speak two families, and what my father-in-law said is right." Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "The son-in-law has benefited a lot. Come on, I wish you a cup."

Watching her daughter and son-in-law leave, Li Laihe suddenly sighed: "This son-in-law is not bad."

Li Wushi smiled and said, "Who said no, you don't have the airs of being an official at all. She treats us as a family member. Dong'er is the right girl, and Shicheng's child is doing well. By the way, why can't you go home if you're so late? You won't talk about your son, let him study at home with peace of mind, don't always run out without any trouble. Learn from your son-in-law, pass the Jinshi early, and marry a wife. I said, why are you leaving alone? Wait for me."

When he got home, Dong'er moved the things he bought from the carriage into the house and sorted them out one by one. Jiang Anyi sat at the desk, thinking about his father-in-law's words, and he couldn't think of a way to make money for a while.

Dong'er drifted into Jiang Anyi's arms with a scent of fragrance, held a small sachet in his hand and approached Jiang Anyi's nose, and asked coquettishly: "Jiang Lang, does it smell good?"

The sachet emitted a strong smell. The original alcoholic feeling was irritated by the fragrance, which awakened the mind and was very comfortable. Jiang Anyi pinched the sachet with his hand, and the "rustling" sound inside was like dry powder, and he smiled and said, "Yes, what's the fragrance?"

The Dazheng Buddhist temple uses various spices such as dragon brain and sandalwood to mix them in water and worship them in front of the Buddha; rich families grind the incense flowers and herbs into powder, make sachets and hang them on their waists, place them in the wardrobe, and burn them in an incense burner. Today's Boshan stove and the gold and silver ball-type incense burner in the Dawei period are all stoves for incense. Spices are not cheap, and ordinary women will also mash the flowers and plants and make pollen and rouge.

Dong'er leaned in Jiang Anyi's arms and said softly: "This is a herb from the Western Regions. I heard from the shopkeeper that in addition to wearing it around him, it can be used for incense and deworming, and also for sedation and hypnosis. This small bag costs 500 cents."

Of course, Wubaiwen would not be in Jiang Anyi's eyes, but he was worried about money and muttered casually: "No wonder your father said that money is easy to make for rich people, and money is easier to make for rich women."

Dong'er gently twisted Jiang Anyi's arm and complained, "Don't the book say 'Women to please themselves'? I'm not for you. Besides, I only spent a few taels of silver for a month of pollen money. In the jade store I often go to, some rich ladies and ladies took hundreds of taels of silver. This kind of sachet that came from the Western Regions was very popular. Fortunately, I went early and would be sold out in two days."

Jiang Anyi had a flash of inspiration. The demon master entered the jungle to avoid mosquitoes, and often mixed with the alcohol he carried with him and applied it to his body. In the demon master's memory, it seemed that this method could be used to make perfume, and he already had the main material needed to make perfume - high concentration of alcohol.

A small bag of spices costs half a tael of silver. If it can be made into perfume, what price should it be? One ounce of perfume and ten taels of silver, I am afraid that those petite ladies will still flock to it. Jiang Anyi closed his eyes and tried to resist the dizziness caused by the downward pressure of Kingsoft.

Jiang Anyi kissed Dong'er happily and said with a smile: "My wife complains that tomorrow it will be the jade store to buy all the powder and rouge you like. However, for your husband to learn to make a perfume in the countryside, do you want to try it?"

"Perfume?" Dong'er looked at Jiang Anyi in confusion. Dong'er had also pounded the petals with rouge powder, but had never heard of perfume, but he had never heard of such things in the powder shop. Seeing Dong'er confused, Jiang Anyi laughed and picked Dong'er up and went to bed.

The next day, Jiang Anyi wrote the steps for making perfume according to his memory: first take the fragrant petals or bay leaves, crush them, soak them in alcohol for two to three days, filter the residue, and get the perfume. As for the ratio of flowers to alcohol, it needs to be debugged. It seems that some spices can be added to the soaked water, which is also done at home. It is particularly emphasized that the thicker the alcohol, the better the effect, and let the home steam the burning knife twice.

After thinking about it, I remembered a recipe for making wine in Wuliang, 40% sorghum, 20% rice, 20% glutinous rice, 10% buckwheat, and 20% yellow rice. This combination has a strong aroma and a sweet taste. It is rare in the memory of the demon master. The more ways to make money, the better. If it is OK, let the home try it first.

When he went home for the New Year, he became empty again. Jiang Anyi bought a lot of food and food, and together with two letters, he asked the people from the escort business to send them home. The official position was not free and he had to wait until once every three years before he had the opportunity to go home to reunite.

During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Anyi found that there were much more social engagements than last year. At several banquets held by officials of "Ze Party", Jiang Anyi saw Li Shicheng. This brother-in-law was much more active than himself. During the New Year's Eve at his father-in-law's house, Li Shicheng grabbed Jiang Anyi and muttered, conveyed the voices of Deng Huaisu and Yu Mingyang, and made Jiang Anyi speak out for Zechang Academy.

In the twelfth year of Fengle in Dazheng, the emperor sat in the court for a whole century, and the new year was new. At the strong request of Queen Wang, the emperor issued an order to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the Shangyuan, and the whole world was celebrated together. The emperor always kept his ties, and there were few celebrations in the twelve years. The Lantern Festival in the Shangyuan was generally spontaneously organized by the people. This time, the emperor had an order to open the imperial city Hanguang, Zhuque, Anshang, Shunyi, Jingfeng Five Gates, Jinwu couldn't help but enjoy the people.

This is a major event in the imperial capital. Since the decree was delivered on the ninth day of the first lunar month, every household began to hang colorful lanterns, with figures, flowers, plants, birds and beasts painted on them. At night, the lights were bright and the fireworks shone in the sky, and the entire imperial capital became a sky that never night. There were many people dancing dragons, lions, juggling, drums and music that were noisy. There were countless people who were playing and watching the lanterns, and they were full of joy and lively.

Of course, rich families will not do it themselves. Lamp makers have become popular and their status is a hundred times for a time. Officials and wealthy families have tried their best to make colorful lanterns, which are brilliant and luxurious, and are competing for beauty. They all want to show their differences in front of others, hoping to surpass the heroes.

Even the business of the powder shop became popular. The young master made a white powder and dressed up beautifully. He held a folding fan in his hand. The young lady was even more fragrant and beautiful, and she wanted to overwhelm the beauty. Dong'er dressed herself up like a fragrant doll, holding a small lantern in her hand, and took Jiang Anyi to accompany her to watch the lanterns and watch juggling. She was so happy that she was smiling in her dreams.

On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor will personally visit Qinzheng Building to watch the lanterns, and the square in front of the building will become an open-air stage. If the juggling group that can enter the show can be rewarded by the emperor, they will definitely become famous in one fell swoop and become a favorite of all people.

Stands are set up around Qinzheng Building, which not everyone can enter. Officials with a fifth rank or above can take their families to watch the lights alone. Others can only listen to the sound outside, or wait until the performance is over, and the juggling group will be feasted when they leave the city and perform.

Dong'er was so envious, but Jiang Anyi was just a sixth-rank official and was not qualified to enter the inner lantern. Fan Qiao was also very jealous. The two women gathered together and muttered for a long time. Finally, Dong'er said to Jiang Anyi: "Jianglang, the prince is kind to you, can you find the prince to ask for two more cards?"

Mr. Fan himself was well-informed in the Censorate. I heard that in addition to officials above the fifth rank, hundreds of entrance cards were released from the palace to the princes and nobles to facilitate their rewards. The prince has now moved to the Eastern Palace. As a direct scholar, the prince will leave him a piece. A card can be used for two people to enter. The key is that Fan Qiao also wants to watch the fun, and Shi Tou and Fan Changhua are of course looking at the master eagerly.

Carrying a heavy responsibility, Jiang Anyi went to the Eastern Palace. An eunuch led him to Lihua Garden. The prince was watching craftsmen in the garden to manage lanterns. It was the first month of the year, and the emperor granted the prince's continued study after the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Anyi couldn't speak out a little, and he looked around and said for a long time. After gritting his teeth, he said aloofly: "Your Highness, I want to ask you to reward me with a few lantern viewing signs in front of Qinzheng Building."

The prince smiled and said, "Master Jiang, I thought you had something big. My father gave me forty yuan in the entrance card. Apart from the twelve masters, I am going to reward those who accompany you to study. There are two more yuan, so I will give you to Master Jiang."
