Chapter 1513: The Promotion of Broth and Honeycomb Coal
Seeing that the kettle couldn't stop smoking, Marin asked the kettle to be lifted down, and replaced it with another tin kettle filled with cold water to put it on to seal the upper end of the honeycomb coal stove, so as not to get too much air on it and make the honeycomb coal burn too quickly.
He then asked people to find a tea brick, break a corner from it, put it in a large teacup to brew, and pour out a steep of water. Subsequently, he also added some milk powder and maple syrup and covered the cup......
A few minutes later, Marin comfortably tasted the hot milk tea and felt very refreshing. It's winter, so take a sip of hot tea and don't make it too refreshing.
Drinking warm milk tea, Marin summed up an experience - if you want to prevent the tin pot from drying or even melting, you must add water in time. Or, simply prepare two tin pots and replace them with another one filled with cold water after a while to ensure that the tin pot does not burn dry.
After the experiment was successful, Marin had a few newly made honeycomb coal stoves and a truckload of honeycomb coal back to the royal palace in Aurich.
Next, Marin asked the craftsmen to make a few honeycomb coal stoves and a dozen tin pots, and sent them to the front yard of the palace to be looked after by special maids.
As a result, the bigwigs of the Beihai Kingdom who worked in the palace could drink steaming tea at any time. Drinking tea and reading the newspaper in the office is the top treatment that only later generations of public works can enjoy. Well, the officials of the Beihai King's Palace are probably just one short of reading the newspaper......
……
The officials of the Beihai Kingdom in the front yard thought that they would be happy to be able to drink hot tea at any time, but they didn't know that the backyard was even happier......
Marin was not satisfied with drinking hot water, so he asked the blacksmith to build a relatively tall and large iron pot for boiling soup. Then, throw it directly on the honeycomb coal stove and start boiling the beef bone broth......
The reason why Marin thought of boiling beef bone broth was because he happened to think of the pot of beef bone soup that he had boiled for three days and three nights in the stick drama "Da Chang Jin" that he watched when he was in middle school......
It just so happened that the North Sea State imported tens of thousands of cattle from the Crimean Khanate every year. Among them, thousands of bulls that are not strong enough to be used as a breeding breed are slaughtered for meat. Therefore, there are a lot of beef bones in Beihai Country.
So, Marin decided to use the waste and get the beef bones that the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom looked down on, and boiled the legendary Da Changjin brand beef bone soup for Angela and Caesar......
Marin first asked the selected fresh beef bones to be scalded in hot water in the imperial kitchen, and then brought to the backyard, put them in a large soup pot on top of the honeycomb coal stove, and slowly boiled them over the fire of the honeycomb coal stove.
And in order to remove the special taste of beef, Marin also asked the maid to add ginger slices and pineapple slices to the pot. Ginger slices are flavorful, and radish slices are used to absorb the flavor of cow.
After boiling for a few hours, the slices of radish used to absorb the flavor are removed. Then, the maids were divided into several shifts by Marin and guarded the soup pot day and night. If you see foam floating on it, use a spoon to remove it. Then, continue to look at the pot. If the fire is out, find a guard to carry down the soup pot and replace the honeycomb coal......
In this way, after three days and three nights, Marin took Angela and Caesar and drank the delicious Shannon Dachangjin beef bone broth......
"Ah, that's cool! It's nice to use a honeycomb coal stove to make broth! Marin sighed. In winter, you can drink delicious beef bone broth, so it's not too refreshing. What the? Lamb soup, you say? What kind of mutton soup do you drink when you have beef bone soup? Of course, you can also try the drops. Anyway, Marin is now a big man, and it is not troublesome to set up a briquette stove for cooking mutton soup in the palace......
Subsequently, the Marin family relied on the soup cooked in the honeycomb coal stove to let the whole family eat mutton steamed buns......
Because of the direction of the winter wind, the northwest wind carried the strong aroma of beef bone broth and mutton soup to the east side of the front yard of the palace, that is, the southeast side of the palace.
Karn, who was in charge of the guards in the front yard of the palace, smelled the aroma of beef bone broth and mutton soup, and followed the scent. I saw that Ma Lin's whole family was snorting and drinking beef bone broth and eating mutton steamed buns......
Suddenly, Karn was furious—he didn't call me anything good...... Then, this guy killed half a pot of beef bone broth at once, ate a few large bowls of mutton steamed buns, and made his stomach bulge directly......
Marin stayed directly - Nima, this is the reincarnation of the rice bucket...... Thinking that Xue Rengui, the god of war, is almost also virtuous, he uses a bucket for dinner...... Then, Marin was relieved - there have been many rice buckets since ancient times......
……
What made Marin depressed was that Karn not only ate a lot, but also had a big mouth. The next day, Kohler, Schwarz, Sauer, Heider and other descendants all ran to the backyard to drink soup with their faces salivated......
These buns, I have never seen the broth that has been boiled for several days in a row, and they are shocked after drinking it. Then, the practice of begging for dashi begins. After all, on a cold day like January, it's not too refreshing to drink the fragrant broth.
Marin didn't hide it either, so he told them how to make the broth. Moreover, each family also sent a honeycomb coal stove and a lot of honeycomb coal.
Then, for the next few days, the smell of broth wafted through the homes of these guys......
These guys are also very showy, and after successfully cooking beef bone broth and mutton soup, the gang began to feast guests at home and invite people to drink soup.
So, within a few days, all the nobles and officials of the city of Aurich knew one thing—Grand Duke Marin had obtained from the Eastern Empire a light coal-burning stove that could be used to make beef bone soup or mutton soup day and night. After boiling for two or three days, you can get a very delicious and fragrant broth......
Then, a number of officials went to the palace and begged Marin for a honeycomb coal stove......
……
Marin was a little dumbfounded - I obviously wanted to use the way of boiling tea to promote the honeycomb coal stove, but because of the beef bone broth and sheep soup, the honeycomb coal stove became popular?
Although the process was not quite what he imagined, Marin accepted the reality. Boiling soup is boiling soup, anyway, it expands the influence of honeycomb coal......
As a result, Marin opened a storefront next to the royal palace of Aurich and was responsible for selling honeycomb coal stoves and honeycomb coal. Of course, tongs and thin planks for fans are also provided.
The price of the honeycomb coal stove and the matching tongs and thin wooden boards is not expensive, only a little higher than the cost price. However, the honeycomb coal business is what Marin values the most......
Although the price of coal is very low, the ore price is only 2 shillings ~ 2.5 shillings per Chartlon (about 1.5 tons ~ 1.7 tons). And the selling price, generally 3 shillings to 4 shillings per Chartron.
Each piece of honeycomb coal weighs 2.5 catties, and the coal consumption does not exceed 2 catties. In other words, for every Chartron coal (calculated by 1.5 tons), a minimum of 1,500 pieces of honeycomb coal can be made.
Marin intends to sell it at a price of 25 honeycomb coals per fennig, so that 1.5 tons of coal can be sold for 60 fennig, which is 5 shillings, which is 20% higher than the market price. Of course, this also includes the labor cost of making pulverized coal into honeycomb coal, which is not black.
However, this is only for places where there is river transport. Because the cost of river transportation is low, it can ensure that the price of coal will not rise much. But for those inland areas where there is no river transport. If honeycomb coal is transported by horse-drawn cart, the price will definitely be more than that, and it may rise significantly.
Fortunately, coal production in the North Sea is not too large, and even if only a few major transport waterways such as the Rhine, the Ames, the Weser and the Elbe can sell honeycomb coal, it is a huge market.
Therefore, this industry does not rely on profit margins, but on volume......
