Chapter 25 Let Cao Cao See the World (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Seeing Cao Cao asking himself, Xun Yu did not remain silent.
He looked at Chen Jue and said:
"Chen Zhaizhu's idea alone is actually beneficial to all parties, but it is not easy to implement.
You must know that in today's troubled world, it is still difficult for people to survive, how can they take care of such enjoyment? ”
Cao Cao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, his identity was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he was inexplicably a little ashamed and uneasy.
On the contrary, Chen Jue suddenly shook his head with a smile and said:
"What Mr. Xun said is not unreasonable, but after all, it is one-sided, and the owner of this village has already considered it thoroughly."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise:
"If it is really as Chen Zhai said, the effect of chicken essence is so magical, I am afraid that the cost is not low.
Even if it is a loss to make money, I am afraid it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it will also damage the interests of Qingyunzhai. ”
Chen Jue shrugged his shoulders and said:
"The prime minister thinks too much, will the owner of the village do a loss-making business? Nature is among the profitable. ”
Cao Cao was silent, and Chen Jue continued:
"In fact, the cost of chicken essence is not as high as you think, and the key lies in the process."
Having said so much, Cao Cao still didn't figure it out.
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and asked loudly:
"Since the owner of Chen Zhai is so determined, I don't know what the raw materials of chicken essence are?"
Chen Jue spread his hands and replied indifferently:
"This condiment is called chicken essence, and the raw material is naturally chicken, otherwise how can it enhance the umami?"
Xun Yu felt a little confused, and he was puzzled:
"Chen Zhai uses chicken as raw material, how can the cost be low, is there another mystery in it?"
Chen Jue touched his nose and said:
"Anyway, the prime minister can rest assured that the price of this chicken essence is not high, and most people can accept it.
Even if it is an ordinary civilian, it will not be ruined for it, at most it will be painful. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao probably had the bottom.
In fact, Chen Jue wants to sell chicken essence, he doesn't want to disallow it completely, but he is just thinking about the gains and losses.
What are the benefits of doing so for Qingyunzhai?
What's in it for you?
After thinking about it, Xun Yu asked again:
"In this way, it seems that the target of Lord Chen Zhai is not the rich, but more people in the Han Dynasty?"
Chen Jue waved his hand and replied:
"If you can, sell the chicken essence at a high price outside the territory, and the owner of the village has no opinion."
Xun Yu twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.
Just as Cao Cao was thinking about it, Chen Jue spoke again:
"Actually, the prime minister doesn't have to worry, in addition to this chicken essence today, the owner of this village has two things."
As soon as the words fell, the villagers came in with two porcelain bottles.
These two porcelain vases are different from each other, and they are different from the porcelain vases of chicken essence, and it is impossible to see what is in them.
Just when Cao Cao and the three were puzzled, Chen Jue explained:
"In these two bottles, one is filled with refined salt and the other is filled with sugar, and the three of them can taste it."
Cao Cao read softly:
"Refined salt, sugar?"
Without hesitation, Cao Cao took the two bottles in front of him, opened the sealed stoppers and took a look.
"How is that possible?"
Cao Cao said incredulously.
Xun Yu and Xu Chu were a little surprised, and they also showed different colors.
Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Could this be refined from mineral salt, it is also amazing, such quality is really rare."
Xun Yu echoed beside him:
"Such refined salt is not only rare, but with today's salt-making technology, the gap is simply incalculable."
Cao Cao poured the refined salt in his hand and tasted it carefully, the light in his eyes was great.
This feeling is so good, and there is no peculiar smell at all, it is really the best of refined salt.
The color is snow-white and the grains are distinct.
Xun Yu had nothing to say at the moment.
When he saw Chen Jue using minerals to make salt, he hadn't thought too much about it, and he was really shocked at the moment.
Xu Chu didn't panic, he looked at Chen Jue and asked:
"Dare to ask Master Chen, what is the price of this salt?"
Chen Jue replied with a smile:
"General Xu, don't worry, this salt is cheaper than the outside."
Another hammer.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu were speechless.
Qingyunzhai makes salt so well, and the price is even lower than the outside, which is really unimaginable.
Aside from the refined salt, another porcelain bottle contains white sugar.
"How does this sugar look like salt?"
Cao Cao asked puzzled.
Most of what is eaten today is sucrose, maltose and the like, more or less with their original color.
But Chen Jue's white sugar is very strange, it is actually the same as salt, and the snow-white fine particles are eye-catching.
It was Cao Cao who tasted it again, which was really incredible:
"What is this sugar made of?"
Cao Cao was a little stunned at this moment, similar to last time.
I thought I had seen the world before, and I could be calmer when I came to the cottage again, but it was still the same as before.
Qingyun Village is so amazing, it always surprises people, even Cao Cao is no different.
Chen Jue casually explained:
"White sugar is also made from sugarcane, and with a few more processes, it will become what you see."
Xun Yu and Xu Chu also tasted it, and they said in unison:
"What a sweet sugar."
Different from ordinary sucrose and maltose, white sugar removes impurities, and the overall sweetness is naturally improved.
You must know that in ancient times, no matter what kind of sugar was a luxury.
It was Cao Cao who asked suspiciously:
"How does this sugar Chen Zhai owner want to price?"
Fang Cai felt that Cao Cao had already been captured, so he almost went back with a few bottles of prostitution.
Chen Jue shook his head slightly and replied:
"The price of sugar will be higher, but it will still be acceptable."
For his own pricing, Chen Jue is very confident.
Because he didn't do it behind closed doors, but sent someone to investigate it and know the market situation and demand.
At this moment, Cao Cao and the three of them were completely silent.
Fang Cai still wanted to break and pull, but at the moment he could only be silent.
The things Chen Jue took out were all out-and-out high-quality products, so they couldn't refute it at all.
Cao Cao was still a little hesitant, he didn't know if letting go of these restrictions would make Qingyunzhai out of control.
Now the status of Qingyunzhai is very special.
For Cao Cao himself, he didn't like this feeling, after all, accidents were inevitable.
Only by mastering all parties as much as possible can we make ourselves more secure and not be found by others.
If there was no Chen Jue, Qingyunzhai would have been destroyed.
The so-called salt-making technique, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes, can't they all be moved home?
It is precisely because of Chen Jue that Cao Cao can't do this.
Although he can't do it either.
But if it is beyond his control and cannot be solved, Cao Cao can only try to be friendly with him and limit the accident to a range.
If it weren't for that, why would Cao Cao be so polite to Chen Jue?
There are no more than two kinds of politeness.
First, the relationship is very good, and you can speak freely.
Second, if you have doubts, you can only respond politely.
Cao Cao has a plot against Chen Jue, so why shouldn't Chen Jue?
Maybe what he said is true, but what else he has in mind is unknown.
Frankly, Cao Cao wanted these things very much, but he needed to weigh the pros and cons before he could decide.
Of course, Chen Jue saw this, he smiled and said:
"Why should the prime minister bother about this?"
