Chapter 15 Buying Oil

When Li Zhi walked home and told his mother Zheng the news of the good money, Zheng was already in tears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng wiped his tears, walked to her husband's rank, lit a stick of incense, and said with words in his mouth: "In charge, your son is now out of breath and smart, and he is no longer stupid." Your son helped you pay off the debts you owe, and our family will not be on the streets. You're over there, so you don't have to worry about it! ”

Li Zhi waited for Zheng to finish the incense, took out the IOU that was torn in half, and burned it in front of his father Li Cheng's ranking. Watching the IOU burn to ashes, the family of three was overjoyed.

From now on, the Li family will no longer owe the Xiao family debts! The mountain that pressed on the Li family no longer exists!

Seeing that Li Zhi's family was excited, Cui He was a little bored and was about to leave. Seeing that she was leaving, Li Zhi took out a piece of soap from the kitchen and said with a smile: "This is for you!" ”

Cui He sniffed it, opened his eyes wide and asked, "It's so fragrant, what is this?" ”

"This is soap, and soap can be used to wash the body and hair, but after washing the head and body, it will be fragrant, which is the most suitable for a beautiful girl like you!"

Hearing Li Zhi praise her for being a beautiful girl, Cui He giggled happily, then took Li Zhi's soap, waved his hand and said, "Thank you!" I'm leaving! ”

After sending Cui He away, Li Zhi calculated the raw materials and labor needed every day: his store can sell 15,000 yuan a month, plus Cui Wending's 50,000 yuan a month, it is 65,000 yuan a month, and an average of 2,200 pieces of soap are produced every day. To produce so much soap, it takes more than 430 catties of soybean oil and almost the same weight of soda ash every day, and more than 100 catties of quicklime.

To produce so much soap, Li Xing and Li Zhi are far from enough, and they have to hire more than a dozen people.

However, it is easy to hire people, just gather some relatives from the family who have been working hard to help. The first thing to solve is the problem of raw materials. With such a large production scale, the original supply channels of raw materials are definitely not enough, and Li Zhi needs to find large suppliers.

With a few copper coins in his hand, Li Zhi walked out of the house and walked to a stall called Wang Da in the vegetable market.

"Wang Da, where did you buy this soybean oil?"

Seeing Li Zhi coming to find him, Wang Da was stunned: Didn't Li Zhi buy oil with Zhao San a few days ago?

In the past few days, Li Zhi and Zhao San have bought more than 100 catties of soybean oil, and they are already Zhao San's biggest customers. Zhao San's business has made Wang Da quite jealous these days. At this time, seeing Li Zhi asking himself, Wang Da said with courtesy: "Brother Zhi'er, if you want oil to buy it from me, I will give you a cheap one." ”

In just a few days, the success of soap has made Li Zhi change from a Li nerd who everyone can bully to a respected "Brother Zhier".

Everyone in the vegetable market knows that Li Zhi is not stupid now, and he is very shrewd. Moreover, Li Zhi's soap business is booming, and it is only a matter of time before he pays off his debts, and no one in this vegetable market dares to discriminate against Li Zhi. Wang Da called Li Zhi a mouthful of Brother Zhi, with great respect.

Zhao San stood aside, and when he saw Li Zhi finding Wang Da today, his heart tightened. He was afraid of losing Li Zhi's business, so he came over and said, "Brother Zhi'er, why are you looking for Wang Da today, you buy oil from me and I'll give you a cheap one." ”

Seeing that Wang Da called Li Zhi Brother Zhi'er, Zhao San also hurriedly followed suit, for fear that he would lose his big customer because of his unceremonious words.

Li Zhi said disdainfully: "Just your small stall, where can I supply my oil?" Now I want more than 400 catties of soybean oil every day, can you provide it? ”

Zhao San was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly put on a crying face, and said reluctantly: "Brother Zhi'er, your business is getting bigger and bigger, so won't you buy oil from me in the future?" ”

Finding out a hundred yuan, Li Zhi said to Zhao San and Wang Da: "The largest oil refining workshop near Tianjin Wei, which of the two of you will take me there?" I'll give a hundred dollars. ”

Zhao San weighed the pros and cons, knowing that he was small and could no longer satisfy Li Zhi's appetite, and he was definitely going to lose this big customer. However, Zhao San still has to earn this 100 yuan for the road - if he doesn't earn it, he will let Wang Da earn it. He snatched the money from Li Zhi's hand and said flatteringly: "Brother Zhi'er, I'll take you, I'll take you!" ”

Li Zhi has always been Zhao San's customer, although Wang Da is also greedy for this hundred yuan, but it is not easy to compete with Zhao San, so he only snorted a few times and remained silent.

"Brother Zhi'er, come with me."

Zhao San asked a friend in the vegetable market to help him watch the stalls, and then took Li Zhi to the east. Zhao San walked in front, but he didn't forget the gossip.

"Brother Zhi'er, your business is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can repay your debts!"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "My family's debt has been paid off just now. The IOU has been burned, and my Li family will no longer owe the Xiao family any more money in the future. ”

Zhao San secretly said to himself when he heard this, and secretly said that this soap business that Li Zhi didn't know where to get it from, and it was really surprising that he earned more than seventy taels to repay his debts so quickly. However, although he muttered in his heart, Zhao San verbally respected Li Zhi more - Li Zhi can make money so much, the Li family will be a rich and noble family in the future, and he is not only a stammer?

The two walked through Dongcheng Heng Street, out of the East Gate Desheng Gate of the Tianjin Acropolis, and walked two miles to the east, and walked into a Gaojiazhuang. Zhao San took Li Zhi to stand in front of a large courtyard with a shop open at the door, and said to Li Zhi with a smile: "This is the Gaojia Oil Mill, the largest soybean oil workshop in Tianjin Wei." Even Brother Zhi'er has to buy hundreds of catties a day, and it can be easily supplied here. ”

Li Zhi stood at the door and looked at it, and saw that the shop outside the courtyard was quite large, and there were several ox carts carrying oil parked at the door. There are more than a dozen guys in the shop, who are busy carrying oil outside, pouring oil into the bamboo barrels of the ox cart outside the store. At first glance, you can see that this is an oil refining workshop with a large amount of inflow and outflow.

Zhao San didn't lead the way, Li Zhi nodded.

Seeing Li Zhi nodding, Zhao San's face was happy, and he walked into the shop and said, "Senior Fourth, quickly call your shopkeeper to come, the big deal has come to the door!" ”

The young man who was called Gao Lao Si was sitting in the store looking at the account book, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhao San, and said impatiently: "What big deal?" ”

Zhao San pointed at Li Zhi with his hand and said loudly: "This is Brother Zhi from our Jingbianfang, and we want to buy hundreds of catties of soybean oil every day." I'm going to introduce you to such a big business, why don't you hurry up and call your shopkeeper here? ”

The senior senior was stunned and looked at Li Zhi. Seeing that Li Zhi was wearing a cotton jacket full of patches, he didn't look like a rich man, and he didn't believe it in his eyes.

Li Zhi walked up and said, "I will buy hundreds of catties of soybean oil every day in the future, if your family can provide it, I will buy it with you." ”

Seeing Li Zhi's words, the fourth senior was moved. He stopped talking nonsense, said "wait", and went into the courtyard and called the shopkeeper out.
