Chapter 176: Okay, the scar forgot the pain
The annex of the Chu Wangfu is outside Chang'an City, covering an area much larger than the Chu Wangfu on Zhuque Street, especially after Li Kuan launched the "buy, buy, buy" mode, the tens of thousands of acres of land from the original courtyard to Weishui are all owned by the Chu Wangfu.
Although it was winter, Li Kuan was sweating on his face, and he commanded several craftsmen to constantly stir up the sticky matter in the iron pot.
It was a mixture of boiled lard and caustic soda, and the spices were left out first.
"Almost, put all the contents of the pot into the mold, then compact, and see how it turns out tomorrow."
Li Kuan didn't bother much, soap is not a very important thing compared to the current family business of the Chu Palace.
The main thing is that it is expensive, and it is used by rich people, and it is sold cheaply, not to mention the limited output, and it can't make too much money.
It's better to toss some things that can make a lot of money from the grassland or overseas, this is what Li Kuan is most interested in, and it is also the most meaningful thing.
……
"Lord Wang, the structure of this device is not too complicated, but the sealing required by you is a bit high, and it may not be completely achieved."
Dai Quan came to the palace early in the morning, but Li Kuan was busy trying soap at that time, so he waited for a while.
"A little leak doesn't matter, but if you leak too much, it doesn't make much sense."
If Li Kuan wants to engage in high-grade liquor, the distillation device is indispensable.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have an idea, can you let the glass workshop burn some accessories? The porcelain workshop also fired some, which ended up being combined with wooden and iron elements? ”
When Li Kuan draws, he just draws a very simple schematic diagram, and then verbally says what he wants to achieve.
Now that I hear Dai Quan mention this, I think I can give it a try.
"You go and arrange it, anyway, the king's ideas have been told to you, you just need to get it out as soon as possible. However, this device must be kept secret and cannot be leaked. ”
Li Kuan was also ready to exchange high wine for supplies from the grassland, so he naturally didn't want this method to be learned by others.
After arranging these things, Li Kuan was idle again, so he simply went to the palace of the king of Chu to give a lecture.
The newly built Mengxue School is located in the northeast corner of the annex near Weishui, and there are already hundreds of students in it.
However, Li Kuan did not give lectures to the students, but to the masters of Mengxue.
Whether it is Arabic numerals, or the "Tang Dictionary", these are all things that have only begun to be applied at Dengzhou Mutual Aid Primary School, and before Xu Jingzong and Shangguanyi came back, only Li Kuan knew these best.
Idle is also idle, just get on the horse yourself.
……
The soap production was very successful, and the success made Li Kuan feel that it was too unchallenging.
However, the soap was successfully made, and how to sell it, Xiang'er felt that it was very challenging.
As the leading female shopkeeper in Chang'an City, Xiang'er felt that the more the prince didn't pay attention to soap, the more she had to use a good score to let him see his ability.
"Miss Xiang'er, these rosewood boxes have already been made."
"Fill it all up and place it at the entrance to the Treasure Pavilion." Xiang'er thought for a moment, "Put a bucket of water and a bar of soap at the door for the guests to try." ”
Soap is a consumable product, whether it is good or not, you can't see it just by looking at it, after all, it doesn't look like a mirror, so Xiang'er feels it is necessary for people to have the opportunity to try it.
In the past, although I also participated in the sales of each store, I did not make my own independent decisions.
This time, Li Kuan gave full authority to Xiang'er to do it, and she naturally responded with a twelve-point spirit.
"Miss Xiang'er, the situation of the pancreas you asked me to investigate has been confirmed. In the entire Chang'an City, Cui's fat powder shop is the largest pancreatic sales store, and other pancreas sellers are basically fat powder shops, with prices ranging from two yuan a piece to five yuan a piece. ”
The main raw material of pancreas is pig pancreas, and the pancreas of a pig is not very big, and it is impossible to make a few pieces of pancreas, plus there are some secret processes in the middle, so don't look at the black ones, but the ones sold are expensive.
Anyway, it's not for ordinary people, selling it for 500 yuan and 500 yuan, it seems that ordinary people can't afford it, so it's no wonder that the price has not come down.
There's no downward momentum.
"Okay, then our soap will be set at three dollars a piece."
Xiang'er thought about it for a moment and chose a price in the middle.
……
Cui's fat powder shop.
Since the incident of fat powder poisoning back then, it can be said that it has hurt its vitality.
Fortunately, Cui's shopkeeper was disgusting enough, and he used the same method to get rid of other fat powder shops in Chang'an City.
My fat powder is poisonous, and so are yours.
Everyone is poisonous, don't sell it.
In this way, the Cui family's fat powder shop finally has the strength to breathe, and as for offending his peers because of this, the shopkeeper Cui no longer cares.
Peers are enemies.
Nowadays, the fat powder in Cui's fat noodle shop is rice flour as raw materials, plus a series of secret techniques, which have slowly regained the acceptance of the women of Chang'an City.
No way, unless you don't use fat powder, otherwise Cui's fat powder shop is still the best choice.
"Shopkeeper Cui, this is a new batch of pancreas, I see that the color is much better than the previous one, so I have entered more."
Shopkeeper Cui picked up a piece of pancreas and looked at it, thinking that it was really good, "This is transported from the south, right?" ”
"Yes, it's all shipped from Jiangnan, and it is said that this time the output that has been in stock for several months has been transported to Chang'an City at one time, so I don't have to worry about having no pancreas to sell."
"This condition is better than before, have other families started to buy goods?"
"Not yet, we are big customers, and we will leave it to choose today."
"Anyway, this pancreas can't be broken, it's rare that Chang'an City has been out of stock recently, and the quality of this pancreas is good, you go and buy all his goods, don't leave it to other families."
Shopkeeper Cui felt that he had waited for a long time, and he had finally waited for a chance to turn over.
"The shopkeeper, nearly 10,000 pancreas, if you buy all of them, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan, is it okay to buy some of them?"
"You don't understand this, pancreas are out of stock in Chang'an City, if only our family sells them, and other families don't, don't say that we don't raise the price, it's the same price as in the past, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
People are very strange, if you can buy pancreas everywhere, then everyone will run out and buy again. If only we can buy it in our shop, then many people will think that they should buy a few more yuan at a time, anyway, they want to use it, don't increase the price next time or can't buy it. So, there's no need to worry about not selling. ”
Shopkeeper Cui is in a good mood today, and his rare appearance has taught the guy a business lesson.
