Spices, dogwood, soybeans, clay pots, production techniques, all available. In order to ensure that the secret recipe is not leaked, the road into the village has been blocked, for this reason, Sun Xiangfu also specially greeted the warrior Tong, and the warrior Tong himself also came to the farm to inspect.

"Your salted fish and bean sauce tastes really good, as long as the price is not high, the people will be happy to eat it." In the dishes, several kinds of prepared soybean paste were tried by the samurai tong one by one, among them, the most delicious spice sea fish sauce he did not praise, but praised the ordinary salted fish bean sauce, it can be seen that the samurai tong not only had business wisdom in the early years of business, this political wisdom is not bad.

"Of course it won't be too expensive, when the time comes, I will set a wholesale price of 20 wen a catty, and the retail price of the merchants who restrict distribution shall not exceed 20% of the cost price, and the people can buy this kind of salted fish and bean paste in the market, the price should not exceed 30 wen, but it is more cost-effective than buying salt to eat."

The ratio of salted fish and soybeans in a pound of soybean sauce is almost two to eight, salted fish is 30 wen a catty, and soybeans are 30 wen 120 catties of goods.

The salt content of the salted fish pulled from Lingnan is particularly high, and the salt used is refined sea salt, which is much better than the taste of coarse salt on the market in Datang.

"Well, it's a business."

Hearing this, Wu Shi Tong nodded with satisfaction, if a businessman wants to become bigger, he must do things that benefit the country and the people, Sun Xiangfu has pushed the price so low, and there is such a high profit, of course this is a good business.

"Don't forget, Ying Gong, there is a part of you here!" Sun Xiangfu said with a smile.

Yangzhou Wangjianglou branch will certainly be profitable, but the real profit point is in the farm outside the city, how many soybeans of millions of stones will be made into soybean paste? He is very confident that this salted fish and bean paste will spread all over the country's market, and even export a large number of foreign countries, because, in this era, except for Tuyuhun and Khotan, two large salt-producing countries, there is no country and tribe that does not lack salt, and it is also this kind of good salt that can be eaten directly.

This kind of fat meat, Sun Xiangfu will give it to the warriors who really have the same heart as himself, but he will not give it to the four major families in Yangzhou, they may be able to make a little money in this matter, but they must also contribute their own energy, and they can only be regarded as interest cooperation.

Sun Xiangfu put the workshop of making soybean paste in Yangzhou, which is bound to bring a lot of business opportunities to Yangzhou, there are more merchants, Yangzhou's finance and taxation must have increased, and with the prosperity of commerce, people will buy more and more complete goods here, as a major transit station on the canal, Yangzhou's economy is inevitable to go to a higher level.

The matter of the altar and jar has been busy for two more days, and when the sick of the fleet are almost healed, the fleet must set off, and the emperor is still waiting for everyone to go back and deliver the decree!

Before leaving, Wu Shi Tong and the four families came to see them off, along with Wu Shunniang and Wu Meiniang, Sun Xiangfu didn't let them come in vain, and one of them gave them a pack of lychee rock candy, which made the two little girls happy, as for Wu Yuanqing, who was whipped by Wu Shitong at home, he should never dare to have any thoughts about Sun Xiangfu in the future.

Unlike the Happiness, the official ships of the imperial court and the ships from Lingnan are relatively slow to sail against the current, and many times they have to rely on the slender fula, so when the fleet arrived in Luoyang, it was almost the end of September, and Sun Xiangfu, who arrived in Luoyang three days in advance, inspected the situation of the Luoyang branch, and convened a meeting of the management.

The management of the Luoyang branch is also not given to several major shareholders in the local area, the performance team and the kitchen team are all sent by the Chang'an head office, only the waiter team is recruited and trained on the spot, anyway, the kitchen and performance team are controlled, and the rest is okay to be learned by others.

Sun Xiangfu appointed a person named Zhang Wanchun to temporarily manage the operation of the Luoyang branch, he is the person recommended by the eldest Sun Chong, temporarily managed the Chang'an head office for a period of time, and the operation is not bad, the acting team, it is Yao Hongsleeve to lead the team to train artists, when it opens, the newly selected Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's actors will be on the stage of the Luoyang store, and they will play the drama White Snake from scratch.

The ancients were not fools, these things on the show, as long as they are on the track, everyone knows how to do it, Sun Xiangfu's focus is still on the farm outside the city, and after the two-day business meeting in Chang'an, Sun Xiangfu came to Xicun with the guards.

"Village chief, you've been gone for almost half a year, and we miss you."

Wang Erniu greeted Sun Xiangfu at the entrance of the village, and took him to the village with a smile.

In half a year, Xicun has changed a lot, first of all, the whole village has built brick houses, built a cement drying field, and next to the pond in the distance, Sun Xiangfu also saw rows of houses, he knows, it is a chicken farm and a pig farm.

"Where are you thinking about me, thinking about those ideas that will make you rich!"

Sun Xiangfu smiled and asked again, "How is the harvest in the field this year?" ”

"It's okay, the yield of wheat per mu is about four stones, and the county order is bad, and the melon seeds sent by Chang'an are planted in the places along the river, and now you can try it."

There are many lands near the water in Xicun, Chang'an is dry, and melons can not be planted, but they can be planted here, Sun Erli came to Luoyang in June to teach them to plant, and now two or three months have passed, and it is just the maturity period.

Everyone laughed, and a few large watermelons of more than ten catties were cut by Wang Erniu with a knife, and Sun Xiangfu and Xi Junmai and other guards ate a few pieces one after another, and the taste was not bad.

"The melon planted early is sour, the melon planted late is sweet, your melon can be sold at a good price in Chang'an."

In September, Chang'an is actually very cold, but it is also a good choice to eat sweet watermelon at this time, because when the autumn leaves fall, there are almost no fruits on the market.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that other aspects will not be able to supply the consumption of the Luoyang store." Wang Erniu saw that Sun Xiangfu praised the sweetness of the melons grown in their Xi Village, and immediately scratched his head happily, but the pig farm and chicken farm in Xi Village had not been done for a long time, and the pig seedlings and chicken seedlings had not yet grown, so he was more worried.

"Don't worry! This year, the output of various fisheries, pig farms, and chicken farms in Chang'an is a lot, and they will be pulled directly to Luoyang by boat, but next year your output here will have to keep up, and Luoyang store should consume at least three or five pigs a day, and more than 100 chickens, all of which depend on your supply here. Sun Xiangfu said while wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, and walked towards the pig barn next to the pond after speaking, and Wang Erniu followed behind.

The pig house in Xi Village is not small, it is not a problem to breed thousands of heads, the place here is much larger than the happy village, and there are many people, and the piglets are taken care of by a young man named Zhao Shi, who is said to be Zhao Da's nephew, who was specially called to Chang'an by Zhao Da from his hometown, and followed Zhao University to raise pigs for a period of time.

"Village chief, the pig seedlings cultivated in our Happy Village are Kenchang meat, and they have been seventy or eighty catties for more than two months." Zhao Shi pointed to the hundreds of half-sized piglets in the pigsty.

In later generations, a good breed of pig can grow to more than 167 catties in three or four months, and the pig breed in Xingfu Village is obviously not good enough, it takes nearly half a year to grow to 150 catties, but Sun Xiangfu is not an expert in this regard, he can only create more nutritious feed for pigs according to limited crops.

Now that the price of grain has fallen sharply, the cost of raising pigs has also fallen, the market demand for meat is still increasing, and the prospects for raising pigs are very good.

"Well, it's good, but you can't just point to Chang'an to send you pig seedlings, you can also buy piglets in the surrounding area, pig habits in different places may be different, pigs in two places are crossbred together, maybe you can breed pigs that are more willing to grow meat."

So, don't just think about learning your uncle's breeding methods, you have to think about how to surpass him, Erniu, give me enough funds, if the pig farm in Xicun can slaughter 10,000 pigs this year, I will reward you with 100 yuan, if you can breed pigs that can grow meat more than Chang'an, I will reward you with 500 yuan. ”

Sun Xiangfu said this, as if to open another door to Zhao Shi, in fact, many breeding research units in later generations are so competitive, whose pig breed is the best, who can dominate the market, get the greatest profits, which prompts scientific researchers to continue to study new breeding methods and breeding technology, and finally meet the needs of the people of the country to eat meat.

I have seen the pig farm, Sun Xiangfu went to see the chicken farm again, the fish farm in the middle is actually nothing to see, there is living water in the village to add oxygen to the fish pond, when fishing in the summer, the reserve of hundreds of thousands of big fish, not worry about the supply of Luoyang branch at all, and there is no fishing ground like Guanzhong here in Luoyang, so the fish here do not even need pig manure and chicken manure to breed, and the fish and grass harvested by the villagers are enough to feed.

At the same time, Wang Erniu also implemented the policy of Sun Xiangfu common prosperity, while the development of Xi Village, do not forget to drive the development of the surrounding villages, collect the fish grass and pig vegetables from the farmers in the surrounding villages, so that they can earn some extra income It is also right, and after the scale of the chicken farm and pig farm is expanded again, the field dedicated to planting pig vegetables and fish grass will be born.

The reproduction rate of chickens is much faster than that of pigs, especially after the second and third generations of high-yielding chickens come out, every month, the happiness village alone can hatch tens of thousands of chicken seedlings, Xicun directly got 50,000 chicken seedlings from the happiness village, the survival rate is more than eighty percent, now the big feathers of those chickens have grown, and it will not be long before they can lay eggs or eat meat, I believe that by next year, here is a large-scale chicken farm with a scale of hundreds of thousands.

Some people may think that a chicken farm with hundreds of thousands of chickens is very large, but these chickens are enough for each person in Luoyang City to eat one, and the people in Luoyang City only eat one chicken per person per year? It is impossible, therefore, even if the scale of the chicken farm is expanded by ten or twenty times, it will still not be able to meet the needs of the market, and it is necessary to let the residents of the city buy chickens at any time in the vegetable market at any time, as in later generations, at least there must be a chicken farm with an annual output of millions of chickens.
