PWDLAW Chapter 424: Silver to You, Reputation to Me

 Chapter 424: Silver to You, Reputation to Me

"This is the first batch of ink I made. The quality is average, but it's enough for Xiao Jin and Ziluo to use. The cost is only three hundred wen much cheaper than the ink bought in the county, which costs over one or two taels for the lowest quality."


Otherwise, how could they say that reading is expensive? Writing materials such as brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones are all expensive. Ink and paper are consumables that need to be purchased multiple times over a short period.


Now that Chu Heng can make brushes and with the addition of ink the expenses for the two children's education can be saved.


For a family to develop, it's necessary to both increase income and reduce expenditures.


The current situation is very good.


"Let me take a look." After Chu Heng took the ink block and looked at it for a while, he slowly ground it. After squeezing out the ink, he used a new brush, dipped it in the ink and wrote the four large characters 'Cautious Speech and Action' on the paper.


Blowing dry the ink on the paper, Chu Heng looked at the shiny black characters with a trace of interest in his eyes.


"Ah Yu, very capable."


Hearing this praise, Ye Muyu modestly attributed it to Mr. Xu's good ideas. If Mr. Xu hadn't come up with the idea of using oil soot ink, she wouldn't have known how to do it.


"Maybe it's because I didn't do it well, so it's not very delicate and there are some fractures. The taste is a bit strong. I'll continue to refine it and try to make ink that doesn't have a smell even without adding spices."


Chu Heng nodded, took the paper, and encouraged her, "I believe you can do it. Just this ink block has surprised Mr. Xu. I'm afraid he won't believe that you made it."


"I've already figured it out. It's said to be made by you to the outside world. I just learned from you." Ye Muyu didn't want to be famous. She was a married woman, and no matter how famous she became, she needed to rely on Chu Heng.


If Chu Heng wasn't outstanding enough, others would look down on her. Moreover, knowing that she could make ink might even arouse greed in others.


With such a reputation, it wouldn't bring much benefit to life. Instead, it would cause trouble. Naturally, she didn't want to carry that burden.


Chu Heng, on the other hand, was already a scholar. If he could also make ink and develop with the advancement of oil soot ink, Chu Heng's name would be remembered for generations. Moreover, because of this reputation, if he caught the attention of a high-ranking official, his official career would be smoother.


Ye Muyu knew that Chu Heng was good to her, so she was willing to be good to him.


"How about this?" Ye Muyu earnestly consulted his opinion.


Chu Heng was slightly stunned and understood Ye Muyu's meaning. He nodded and said, "Silver to you, reputation to me."


"Good." Ye Muyu smiled beautifully, her eyes curved like fireworks.


Chu Heng's lips curled up in a shallow smile. Seeing her happy, his mood also relaxed.


Thinking about the news he received this afternoon, his fingers curled up slightly, clearly deep in thought.


Outside.


Hu Shi waited for a while. Seeing that the food was getting cold, she could only pluck up the courage to knock on the door and remind the two.


Ye Muyu turned around and looked back, not noticing the fleeting change in Chu Heng's mood.


"Let's go, let's have dinner. If there's anything, we can talk after eating." Ye Muyu said.


Chu Heng responded with an 'en' and followed Ye Muyu into the main hall.


After finishing dinner.


The sky was completely dark.


Ye Muyu brought the wooden box with silver back to the east wing, where she kept accounts on it.


After sorting it out, there were a total of 1,152 taels, plus over three hundred copper coins.


This sum of silver instantly made Ye Muyu realize that Chu Heng's business in running a business was indeed very profitable.
