Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang drank all the dozen or so kinds of wine from the same wine glass one after another.

Chu Fuchi watched from the side and had another idea in his mind:

Qi Wushuang never ate with others before. Even when Chu Fuchi ate with him, they ate separately. Unexpectedly, he was willing to share a cup of wine with Ye Wuwei.

Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang both have huge drinking capacity, and they didn't seem drunk at all even after drinking so much.

Qi Wushuang was originally troubled by the money issue, but after drinking so much wine, he felt much better.

“It’s true as you said, each wine is a good wine and has its own merits, but I personally like the first wine the best.”

"So do you think these dozen or so kinds of wine can be sold?"

"can."

“I was worried that high-concentration liquor wouldn’t last long, but I didn’t expect their brewing technology to be so advanced.

This way, we can run the wine business properly."

"According to your."

Ye Wuwei pointed at the monk and the others and said:

"These wines were brewed by them. They deserve the reward for their contribution. Your Highness, please give them the reward as you see fit."

Qi Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "Little Dengzi, give each of them twenty taels of silver."

Although the monks were overjoyed, they didn't think anything was wrong. However, Chu Fuchi and Xiao Dengzi were both shocked.

Qi Wushuang was never so easy to talk to before!

Unless Qi Wushuang takes the initiative to bring it up, few people can get any benefits from Qi Wushuang.

Ye Wuwei repeatedly broke Qi Wushuang's rules.

Ye Wuwei said to the wine shop owner and others:

"When you go back, make wine according to the taste of today's wine, and try to brew a batch of wine before the New Year."

The owner replied, "Here are seven types of sake that can be brewed before the New Year."

"Can you brew two hundred jars of each of these seven types of wine before the New Year?"

"It should be about the same."

"Go back now and prepare to brew the wine. Please give me a budget of how much silver you need."

After the owner of the winery left, Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang, "I'm not good at business. You have to arrange for someone to start the wine business."

Qi Wushuang said to Chu Fuchi, "Assign someone to Ye Wuwei and let Ye Wuwei take him to familiarize himself with the winery."

Chu Fuchi agreed.

Chu Fuchi asked Ye Wuwei, "What did you mean when you said that silver needle poison testing is unreliable?"

“Oh, the blackening of the silver needle is mainly the result of the interaction between silver and sulfide.

Whenever a silver needle encounters a substance containing a lot of sulfur, regardless of whether the substance is toxic or not, it will turn black after being inserted into it.

On the contrary, some highly toxic substances, such as arsenic, potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, etc., do not contain sulfur and will not turn black when tested with a silver needle.

When I have time someday, I'll do an experiment and show it to you."

This time, not only Chu Fuchi didn't understand what Ye Wuwei said, but even Qi Wushuang didn't understand.

However, Qi Wushuang and Chu Fuchi understood one thing: some poisonous silver needles cannot be detected.

Chu Fuchi asked Ye Wuwei: "Can you really taste whether food is poisonous?"

"Of course, I never tell lies."

Qi Wushuang knew that Ye Wuwei's words were true or false, but he believed that what Ye Wuwei said was true.

"Even if you can taste that the food is poisonous, but you've already eaten it, wouldn't it be too late if it's a very strong poison?"

“It is true that some highly toxic substances can cause rapid death after being eaten, and most of them have no effective antidote or the antidote is complicated.

For example, dove poison, arsenic, and heartbreak grass.

But these poisons are fatal only if taken.

If I had tasted it right away, it would have at most poisoned my tongue, but it wouldn't have killed anyone."

Poisons like arsenic and aconite have their own unique smells, and Ye Wuwei can tell them without even taking a bite.

As for the dove poison, Ye Wuwei had never encountered it in modern times. Legend has it that it is colorless and tasteless, and only feels like a burning sensation in the throat when it enters the throat.

If he really encountered Jiu Du, Ye Wuwei could only consider himself unlucky.

Chu Fuchi didn't really believe Ye Wuwei, but he still said:

"You should follow the prince when he goes to a banquet in the future and pay more attention to his diet."

It wasn't that Chu Fuchi insisted on asking Ye Wuwei to test the poison for Qi Wushuang, but Qi Wushuang's life didn't depend on him alone, but on tens of thousands of people.

If Chu Fuchi had the ability to identify poisons, he would not hesitate to volunteer to test the poison for Qi Wushuang.

Ye Wuwei agreed.

Qi Wushuang frowned: "You don't need to test the poison for me."

Ye Wuwei changed the subject: "I haven't asked about the situation in Yingdu. Why is Yingdu so short of silver?"

Chu Fuchi began to introduce Yingdu to Ye Wuwei.

Most of Yingdu is natural grassland, where no other crops, vegetables, or fruits can grow except grass. Therefore, the population is not large and the economy is backward, and people can only make money by raising horses.

After listening to Chu Fuchi's introduction to Yingdu, Ye Wuwei thought of the modern Ruoergai grassland.

The edge of the Ruoergai grassland is rich in precious medicinal materials such as musk, cordyceps, fritillaria, deer antler and snow lotus.

The Zoige grassland is also rich in mineral resources, including peat, coal, iron, copper, uranium, manganese and gold.

I don’t know whether the grassland in Yingdu is the same as the Ruoergai grassland. If so, it would be a great treasure.

However, without an on-site inspection, Ye Wuwei couldn't make any random comments.

……

**

After Ye Wuwei gave the silver to Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling quit her job at Prince Qi's Mansion that day and began to prepare for a new store.

First, he rented a shop and courtyard that he liked, and then bought twenty teenage girls from a pawnbroker, who signed non-redeemable contracts (death deeds) and placed them there.

Then purchase raw materials, production tools, etc. according to the list provided by Ye Wuwei.

After everything was ready, Ye Lingling called Ye Wuwei to the courtyard to teach her how to make soap.

Ye Wuwei was only responsible for imparting technology. After he taught the method of making soap to Ye Lingling and the twenty girls, he left it alone and let Ye Lingling lead the twenty people to start making soap.

On this day, Ye Lingling found Ye Wuwei:

"Brother Ye, I'm worried that someone will cause trouble after the store opens. Can you please bless our store?"

Ye Wuwei felt that what Ye Lingling said made sense, so he took a few bars of soap and went to find Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang was not alone, Chu Fuchi and Qi Cheng were also there.

Ye Wuwei placed the soap he brought on the table in front of Qi Wushuang:

"Your Highness, this is the soap I made. It can be used to wash your hair, face, body, and clothes."

Qi Wushuang glanced at the soaps of various colors on the table and asked, "Another new way to make money?"

Ye Wuwei smiled and said, "I won't show off this little trick in front of His Majesty."

"So you came here today just to bring me some soap?"

"That's not the case, I still have something to ask of you, Your Majesty.

Lingling and I are planning to open a small soap shop, but I'm worried that someone in Changdu might take advantage of their power to bully others, so I want to register the shop under the name of Prince Qi's Mansion.

To express my gratitude, I will provide all the soap your Highness needs from now on."

"You expect me to agree to this? You're really looking down on me."
