Chapter 180: Hidden Worries

People are all conformists, and seeing that there are so many people ordering cement, the people who were originally on the sidelines can't help but join in.

It wasn't until Wanquan said that the order had been lined up for three months that the queue for cement had slowed down.

"A good start, a real good start." After Wang Pinxuan learned about the sales of cement, he said with a dance.

Zhang Xucong and Ran Yanbo also kept smiling, looking at this momentum, the profit contained in cement is not smaller than that of a soap workshop.

"Brother Atom, the scale of our workshop is going to expand, right?" Zhang Xucong was happy for a while and asked.

"For the time being, there is only one way to do it, there are not enough people." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said.

There are too many places to be manpower in the cement workshop, and the collection and transportation of raw materials occupy a lot of manpower, and now the transportation of cement has to be added, and there is no ability to expand production capacity for the time being.

"It's a pity, I look like I have money but I can't make it." Zhang Xucong thought about it for a while, and also knew the current situation.

"Don't worry, it will definitely expand in the future." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

The production capacity of the cement workshop, on the one hand, is due to manpower reasons, and another point is that Zhao Yuan knows the next situation, and the stall is too big all of a sudden, afraid that once something happens, the ship will not turn around.

There were Wan Yunjun and several people who greeted the official personnel who came to watch the ceremony and the major bosses of the county, Zhao Yuan didn't worry about it at all, and this trip to the county town could be regarded as coming to an end.

"Let's go, Changyan Changsong, go to my place to eat something delicious." After Wan Yunjun and a large group of people left, Zhao Yuan said to the Changyan Changsong brothers who had been following him.

"Okay, Uncle Atom, but can we call my sister with us?" Chang Song said.

"Of course, let's pick them up first, and then go to the small courtyard." Zhao Yuan nodded at Xiao Qi and the others, who were busy in front of the cart outside the observation tower, and walked towards Wan Yunjun's house with the two brothers.

"By the way, Shao Meng, you go and help Xiao Qi and them." Zhao Yuan took two steps, then turned his head and said to Shao Meng.

"Thank you, sir." After Shao Meng finished speaking, he couldn't wait to run towards the place where Xiaoqi's family bought ice drinks.

"This kid!" Zhao Yuan scolded lightly, and left with the two brothers Changyan and Changsong.

There are a lot of people today, Xiaoqi's family is quite well prepared, and unlike Zhao Yuan's first saltpeter ice, Xiaoqi's family prepared more saltpeter, and the frozen ice is completely frozen.

In just this half a day's work, the box that Xiao Qi prepared to use to collect money was about to be filled.

At this time, the weather was hot, and there were still no fewer people in front of Xiao Qi's cold drink car, and Shao Meng's arrival just helped.

Zhao Yuan took the two brothers of Wan Jiajun to Wan Yunjun's house to pick up Wan Xin and Wan Xiaoxiao, and said hello to Wan Yunjun's wife, and the group returned to the small courtyard.

Lunch time had already arrived, Zhao Yuan made some simple things to fill everyone's stomachs, and Xiao Cui and Xiao Juan, who stayed in the small courtyard, were originally going to help, but Zhao Yuan didn't let them.

Combined with the ingredients in the kitchen, Zhao Yuan was cooking food in the kitchen for the entire cottage, which made the Changyan brothers and sisters, Guo Du, Zhu Mian, Xu Xiang, Xiao Cui, and Xiao Juan's stomachs rise.

"Uncle Atom's cooking is so delicious, my mother and they have also made these foods, but it's not as delicious as Uncle Atom's." Chang Song touched his round belly and said.

"Haha, I'm happy today, but I can't eat like this often, or I'm sure I'll become a big fat man." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

The aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty were different from those of later generations, and although they have changed until now, they are still very likable to have a plump body, but Zhao Yuan knows the disadvantages of obesity, and he can't help but remind a few people.

"Okay, Atom, we're helping you socialize, but you're making good food at home, it's too boring." After the entertainment, Wan Yunjun and several people came to the small courtyard with a lot of alcohol, looking at a large table of various foods on the table under the tree in the courtyard, Wan Yunjun said dissatisfiedly.

"That's it, atom, I should really take you with me, we're okay, our Wan Er Shao can be miserable." Wang Pinxuan picked up a piece of dim sum on the table, stuffed it in his mouth and said.

"Dad, how are you?" Hearing Wang Pinxuan's words, the two brothers Changyan and Changsong held Wan Yunjun and asked.

"It's okay, go make me a cup of tea." Wan Yunjun was helped by his two sons to sit down on the chair, and said with his head down.

A few people sat down on a stool in the courtyard and chatted about the situation at today's cement sales event, Xiaocui and Xiaojuan cleaned up the things on the table, and went down to make tea for a few people.

"I don't want tea, bring me a big glass of your juice and cold drink." Wang Pinxuan said to Xiaojuan.

"By the way, bring me a drink too." Ran Yanbo also said.

There was originally a very large cellar in the small courtyard, which stored the ice cubes that Zhao Yuan had brought everyone to make in the past two days, which was very convenient when he wanted to eat.

"When we came back, we went to the Yuanba Observation Tower to have a look, Brother Atom, do you know how much of our cement has been sold?" Zhang Xucong said excitedly.

"How much?" Zhao Yuan asked with interest.

"There are more than 30,000 barrels, and if you want me to say, the price of our cement is still lower." Wang Pinxuan said.

In the cement firing workshop of Lao Zhutian, Zhao Yuan took the cement rotary furnace developed and built, a furnace of cement can fire almost 200 barrels of cement, and under many experiments, the firing time of each furnace of cement is now greatly shortened, and a furnace can be burned in more than two days.

At present, the monthly output of the cement workshop is about 6,000 barrels, which means that it will take more than five months to fully deliver the cement that is scheduled to be shipped out in one day today, and this is still necessary for the cement workshop to have no problems at all.

"So much?" Zhao Yuan said in shock.

Zhao Yuan began to worry about the transportation pressure of the cement workshop, you must know that a barrel of cement is basically 100 catties, more than 30,000 barrels of cement, that is, more than 3 million catties, to transport so much cement, this is not a small project.

"yes, we're making a lot of money this time." Wang Pinxuan said happily.

"Brother Wang, don't be too happy too early, maybe the money we make is not as much as you think." Zhao Yuan said calmly.

"Why, the cost of our cement is not high, and the cost of raw materials and labor is not much." Wang Pinxuan said suspiciously, but he didn't suspect what Zhao Yuan was doing here.

"Brother Atom, let's talk about it carefully." Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Zhang Xucong also calmed down, and asked after thinking about it.
