Chapter 489: One Against Ten (Part I)
With the addition of Mu Junyi, tobacco processing and production has become orderly, and each step of Mu Junyi has been recorded in detail, and various formulas have been repeatedly experimented and compared, and the most suitable formula has finally been determined. Not only that, but Junichi Ki also divided the flavors of tobacco into several types, not everyone likes very spicy flavors, and some people like soft flavors.
In the process of processing and production, only those tobacco farmers can do the first step, that is, the step of 'yellowing', because the processing of tobacco is too simple, if it is carried out to 'fix' and 'dry gluten', then it can already be smoked! Even if the taste is poor, but the cost is low, it will definitely affect the sales of normal tobacco!
Moreover, Zhu Xiaobao also gave the nineteenth princess an idea and issued a ban, the production and sale of tobacco can only be operated by the government, just like salt, and it is illegal to produce and sell it privately! A 'Tobacco Management Department' has also been set up, headed by the Chief Administrator of Wu! In fact, this method is effective in a short period of time, because if other princes or other families outside Princess Island also develop tobacco, it will not be able to control it at all!
"What then? When the time comes, we will not have many people here, and we will definitely not be able to compete with those princes! The nineteenth princess asked a little worriedly.
"Huh! You can rest assured, this thing is also the same as wine, in the end, it becomes more and more picky, and only good quality and taste can last forever! The low-end market is not our main market in the first place. Besides, when the development is stable, it is the right way to develop in other directions! Clothing, food, housing, transportation, there are many places to play! Zhu Xiaobao patted the nineteenth princess on the shoulder very firmly, he has now figured out the law, generally as long as it is not too much, if there is no one next to him, the nineteenth princess will not refuse, at most she will stare at him resentfully, more often than noticing!
To the surprise of the nineteenth princess, although Zhu Xiaobao did not smoke, the purse was also hung around her waist, and it was not filled with tobacco, but spices, which smelled fragrant!
Although it was said that it was going to go, it was still delayed for more than ten days, because it was just the beginning, there were too many things to sort out, this time not only the introduction of tobacco, but also led to the development of many other commodities and industries, for example, now there is a workshop specializing in the production of chess, and a workshop specializing in processing and making purses, this workshop is full of women, and there are several talented women responsible for the design and patterning.
Many small merchants have also begun to sell cigarette sticks and purses, although the sales of tobacco are strictly controlled, but these smoking equipment and auxiliary supplies, the nineteenth princess will not interfere! Some are more observant, and even launched ashtrays, which are necessities at home! Let Zhu Xiaobao also sigh a lot, it seems that the brains of these businessmen are also turning very quickly! He's already seen very beautifully made ashtrays that cost a lot of money!
Zhu Xiaobao is most worried about the two sisters Yu Shuang and Yu Xue, although these two goods are a bit willful, but the personnel are still very good, and Zhu Xiaobao doesn't hate them, so he took the time to take a look at the two of them.
Unexpectedly, when I saw the two sisters this time, the two of them didn't swallow the clouds and spit out the fog again, but were desperately scrubbing their teeth with tooth powder, no way, although the two of them could use the luck to discharge the e-cigarette oil in their bodies, but the yellow on the teeth couldn't be removed, which made the two of them a little anxious, and the two of them were still very concerned about their appearance!
"Hehe, in a hurry now? I've told you a long time ago that smoking is bad for your health, but now you know, isn't it ugly to have a mouth full of yellow teeth? Zhu Xiaobao smiled a little gloatingly. There is still a residual smell of smoke in the room of this sister, which is very uncomfortable! A woman's room shouldn't smell like that!
"Can you handle it? I'm not Wu Yue, just don't hate the two of us! Yu Shuang exclaimed angrily.
Although the yellow color can be removed with tooth powder, it can only be a large part, because the fingers around the teeth are too thick, but it can't get out, and now Yu Xue is using a sharpened thin wooden strip to help Yu Shuang remove the yellow between the teeth!
"Hmm...... Xiaobao, can you help us, it's a big deal that we can't smoke less in the future? We promise to help you with anything you can! For Yu Dan's sake, help us! "Yu Xue is still not as tough as Yu Shuang, and both of them have always been dominated by Yu Shuang! Yu Xue has always been attached to Yu Shuang. In fact, between the two of them, Yu Shuang is more like a man's character.
"Hmmm! Okay, then I'll help you once, I can say okay, when I help you solve the problem, you two will also give me an honest return to Lingyue Mountain, and I have been here for more than a month! Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while and said. These two sisters are so nourishing here that they can't get rid of it! That's why Zhu Xiaobao will make this decision!
"Hmmm! Well, go back, go back, what's the big deal! Although Yu Shuang still has a hard mouth, she has to soften, but she is also used to it, every time she fights with Zhu Xiaobao, she has never been cheap!
"Then it's decided!" Zhu Xiaobao nodded with a smile, and then walked out of the room! He thought he should make a toothbrush......
Zhu Xiaobao walked around the street very leisurely, mainly to see the sales of tobacco. It's also a private interview with Weifu, he is dressed very ordinary, and he doesn't attract attention when he walks on the street, who told him to look very ordinary! 77
Now another branch has opened on Princess Island, and the business of both stores is good, and there is an endless stream of people who come to buy tobacco, basically the descendants of large families, to help the owner buy tobacco. It seems that rich people are still more willing to enjoy this thing!
What Zhu Xiaobao didn't expect was that someone on the side of the road had already put up a chess endgame, relying on this to make money! This really surprised Zhu Xiaobao, it's only been a month, and you dare to rely on this to make money? What's even more incredible is that he also saw the old apprentice sitting there challenging the endgame of others.
What's frustrating is that the old apprentice really can't play others, and he has lost several times in a row, and if he picks the red flag and black chess, everyone can win him! The angry old apprentice refused to leave there, and he had to go down again, and he had already lost two hundred copper plates!
Mu Junyi next to him was also a little embarrassed, he finally found time to rest for half a day today, I thought I was going to accompany my senior brother out to play, but I didn't expect this senior brother to be here. Originally, the old apprentice wanted to show off in front of his junior sister, but this time it was good, but it was embarrassing, and the people next to him were talking about it, and some of them were coaxing, saying that the old apprentice's chess skills were not good!
Zhu Xiaobao looked at this endgame, although the first few steps were a little mysterious, but if you go down, it is full of loopholes, and it can be seen that the research is not thorough enough, but it can already bluff people here!
"Who said that? Says who? I taught him chess, don't look down on people, okay? In this way, I'll come to this game, I'll bet one or two silver, and you can bet on the opposite side of me! Zhu Xiaobao separated the crowd and shouted very domineeringly, a tael of silver was thrown on the stall, it was actually able to deter these people, and he took out a tael of silver at once, which was already a big deal!
"Master!" Mu Chunyi shouted in surprise, and the old apprentice also stood up with a frustrated face and followed behind!
"Huh! Red first and black second, which one do you pick? "The stall is set up by a man in his thirties, who looks like a scholar, and he is still holding a cigarette stick in his hand, and he is actually an old god who is taking a puff! Then he asked very calmly, he has earned a lot of money these days, and he won it by this endgame. No, even the cigarette stick and tobacco have been bought, and there is a purse on the cigarette stick, on which the word 'win' is embroidered. This guy seems to be preparing for this profession!
"I'll pick the red one!" Zhu Xiaobao said casually, and then sat down as well. The old apprentice was very attentive to send his golden cigarette stick, but Zhu Xiaobao waved his hand and refused! Just holding his purse and sniffing it non-stop.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Xiaobao made a move, he replaced a small soldier of the other party with a horse, which made everyone present a little surprised and whispered.
The other party was also disrupted by Zhu Xiaobao's move, he has not dismantled this way, he can only temporarily change the trick, but on the surface, he still occupies a huge advantage!
However, after playing less than ten moves, Zhu Xiaobao had already turned passive into active, and the opponent began to sweat!
"Hey, hey! It's not enough to take one step and see three steps, and you dare to come out to make money with this little road, it's too early, right? Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"Well, I lost in the next place! It's a tael of silver! At this time, the other party had already seen that the general trend was gone, and he couldn't help but take out a tael of silver with a disappointed face, and he thought that his endgame could win safely! Unexpectedly, the opponent's chess move was extremely weird, and the sword went sideways, so he couldn't adapt to it at all!
"Haha! Now that it's out, I'm also going to help the big guys, and I'm playing blind chess to the ten of you at the same time, and you do what I say! If you lose, you don't want your money, if you win, see it, a tael of silver! Zhu Xiaobao shouted arrogantly.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the scene was warm, and it was a prostitute! You don't have to pay if you lose, you still have a silver or two to earn if you win, so who doesn't go up, let alone one to ten, can he count it? Suddenly, those who can play chess are desperately squeezing forward, who doesn't want to earn this one or two silver!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao made such a fuss, the whole street was alarmed, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling rushed over and withdrew silently as soon as they saw Zhu Xiaobao, guarding from afar, they just need to maintain order here!
Ten pairs of chess pieces were sent from the flagship store, and the surroundings were already crowded with people, and some of them standing in the back had already begun to climb the trees to watch the game. The old apprentice brought a cup of tea to Zhu Xiaobao with vigor, and then stood behind Zhu Xiaobao to maintain order, his kung fu, it is impossible for others to get close......
