Chapter 231: General's Mansion Buys Out the Luminous Powder Formula

Wang Xiaohu took the plate and went in first, followed by General Wang An. As soon as Wang Xiaohu entered, he exclaimed: "It's amazing, is this the powder made from the night-shining pearl?"

General Wang An was also surprised where the powder came from and saw that they brought a lot of it.

They returned to the study, and the general asked Feng Dayuan to talk about this matter. Feng Dayuan said seriously: "This is the luminous powder made by Miss Su herself. As long as there is Guanyin clay, it can be made. And if she can find porcelain clay, she can make a better luminous powder."

General Wang An was very excited. This means that this luminous powder can be made at any time. When the team needs light for missions and night operations, it is very convenient to have this luminous powder. In addition, if ordinary people have this powder, they can save a lot of money on lamp oil. This powder has too many uses. It is really a good thing. I guess I can't keep it myself, and I need to report it to the court in the end.

General Wang An asked Feng Dayuan to go back and make more luminous powder with Su He. Then he asked Wang Xiaohu to go with him to see what kind of soil was used, so they could go and look for it.

Also, bring another 800 silver coins, which are for the luminous powder recipe. It would be best if he could buy out the Su family and not do it himself. This business is dangerous for their family. He didn't want to report it to the Su family, as it would not be of any benefit to them.

Wang Xiaohu certainly understood this truth. This business was too big, and given the current situation of the Su family, they could not protect the formula at all. If someone targeted it, it would be stolen, and even the lives of the whole family would be in danger.

Wang Xiaohu followed Feng Dayuan back to the Su family in Shili Village. He still brought Wang Cheng with him. Feng Dayuan and the others would not come back and would continue to stay at the Su family. This time they also needed to bring back some noodles and do a good job in business with the Su family.

Wang Xiaohu was already very familiar with the villagers, so he came directly to the Su family after saying hello. Su He saw Wang Xiaohu coming and happily went up to say hello.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Xiao Suhe, we haven't seen each other for a few days, but you gave us a big surprise!"

Wang Xiaohu knew that this girl was a child prodigy. Because they had been doing business for a long time, Su He's parents told him that their daughter became extremely smart after she fell ill, and many of her ideas came from reading books.

People of this era worship Taoism and Buddhism, and know that there are some mysterious things that ordinary people cannot possess. There are also several child prodigies in their country who can write poems and recite books at the age of five and read a lot of books. There are also some who are born with supernatural powers and can lift things that are several times their own weight at a young age. There are many children like this who are different from ordinary people, so it is not surprising that Su He is smart.

Wang Xiaohu had not told anyone else about this except the general. He just needed to use talented people for his own benefit, and there was no need to let others know. The less outsiders knew about the Su family's affairs, the better. The general also told him this.

After Wang Xiaohu and Su He's parents came over, he handed the two thousand taels of silver notes to Su He's father and said seriously: "Eight hundred taels of this is for buying out the formula of the luminous powder, the other one thousand taels is for buying military books, and two hundred taels is for buying two bags of luminous powder."

He went on to say, "Our general said that you'd better not make glow-in-the-dark powder anymore. It's easy to cause trouble. What do you think?"

When Su He's father heard this, he thought about it carefully. Every family needs luminous powder. How much is needed? Their Su family can't do this big business. So they should sell it to the general. Their family can't do this business. In fact, they didn't think about doing this. The reason was that Su He thought it was convenient for his family to use.

Ansheng's noodle business is doing well, making a lot of money without attracting other people's attention. Now it is suitable for their family to make money quietly, and they don't have the ability to accept the huge fortune that they can't handle.

Wang Xiaohu reached an agreement with Su He's father and bought out the rest of the luminous powder, including the one for the Su family, at the original price, and also took away the noodles made from it.

Before leaving, he followed Feng Dayuan to see the soil and took some away. Seeing the limestone, he had to admire the Su family. They can make a lot of things, but they make them for their own use and never think of selling them. This shows how wise this family is. They earn what they can and never touch the interests of others.
