Chapter 36: Cooperation with the Zhen family

When it comes to simplicity and ease of making small profits, making soap is a good way to do the math.

In modern times, Lu Bu learned a simple way to make soap, filtering it with plant ash and heating it with water to obtain alkaline water.

Then pour the lard and lye water into the pot and heat it continuously, so that the two are fully integrated and the chemical reaction occurs.

When the fusion is sufficient, the heating is stopped, the salt solution is poured in, and the liquid separates, and the solid underneath is soap.

Of course, at this time, the soap needs to be put into the mold, and after it has cooled, a piece of soap is born.

If you want to make soap, you can add spices to it.

Lu Bu experimented for a whole day before he was able to make the soap.

Compared to the soap horn used in this era, the decontamination power of soap is simply unnatural, as long as it is properly advertised, it will definitely be able to buy a good price.

But if you want to do this, you must have a huge financial support, and you must have a solid sales channel.

Or cooperate with others to earn some profits, but once the secret recipe is obtained by others, I am afraid that the profits will be lost immediately......

The first point is that Lu Bu can't do it at all, Lu Bu is also very clear about his advantages and disadvantages, and he is very clear that he himself is not the material for doing business at all.

Besides, if he wants to dominate the world, he doesn't have so much time to focus on business.

Then the only thing left is to cooperate with people, but with whom?

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?

Cooperating with them is too white, which is already considered a chestnut in the fire.

If you want to cooperate with them in the soap business, Lu Bu feels that he will definitely be hacked by these two stinky and shameless people.

But except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Lu Bu really hasn't come up with a suitable partner for the time being.

At this moment, there was a report from the door, and Zhen Yi asked to see him outside the door.

Zhen Yi?

Hearing this name, Lu Bu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhen Yi is the patriarch of the Zhen family, one of the four major commercial families of the Three Kingdoms, and each of the four major commercial families can be described as rich and rivaling the country.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, there was a business family behind each country.

And because the Zhen family chose Yuan Shao, they chose the wrong investment object, and finally ended in disgrace with Yuan Shao's defeat.

However, the Zhen family is most famous for Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi was originally married to Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, and later Jizhou Yecheng was broken by Cao Cao.

Cao Pi took a fancy to Zhen Mi and married back home.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor, Zhen Mi became Empress Zhen.

According to legend, Cao Zhi liked his sister-in-law very much, and the famous "Luo Shen Fu" was written based on Zhen Mi.

This information flashed through Lu Bu's mind like a marquee, and Lu Bu said to Menzi: "Hurry up, please." ”

Menzi answered, and was about to invite Zhen Yide, but Lu Bu raised his hand and said, "Slow, I'll go and greet it myself." ”

The Zhen family is one of the four major business families, and if the support of the Zhen family can be obtained, then the financial problem will be solved.

Of course, now Lu Bu knows his current situation very well, he has no territory and no power, and he only has a slight reputation, and it is impossible for the Zhen family to support him now.

But now you can have a good relationship with the Zhen family, and when you gradually rise in the future, I believe the Zhen family will consider it.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu came directly to the door, and then saw a middle-aged man with an unearthly appearance standing outside the door.

Lu Bu couldn't help but secretly praise, I'm afraid that only such a character can give birth to a beautiful daughter like Queen Zhen.

Lu Bu stepped forward and said, "The unknown Zhen clan leader is coming, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins!" ”

Zhen Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "Feng Xian invented Lu Bu Pinyin, and he also has amazing archery skills and strong martial arts, he is a young hero with both civil and military skills, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!" ”

Lu Bu said humbly: "Patriarch Zhen praises falsely, Lu Bu is ashamed. ”

Zhen Yi laughed and said, "Why should Feng Xian be too humble? Today I am admired, why don't we have a fellowship with each other, and call me brother directly! ”

Lu Bu hurriedly said: "No, how can this be done!" ”

Zhen Yi pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Could it be that Feng Xian looks down on me? ”

Lu Bu hurriedly said: "How dare you, then, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”

Zhen Yi smiled: "That's right! ”

Lu Bu said to Zhen Yi: "Brother Zhen, please inside!" ”

"Bongxian, please!"

The two came to the living room, Lu Bu asked the green jade to serve tea, and soon the green jade touched two cups of tea and served it.

When Lu Bu saw the green jade holding the tea, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

It turns out that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tea has gradually become popular, but the process of making tea is really not flattering.

At this time, the tea is not a piece of tea in later generations, but made into tea cakes.

When you need to drink tea, crush it and put it in a pot to boil, and put green onion and ginger condiments in it, and the soup that comes out is called tea soup.

Lu Bu has drunk modern green tea, and now he tastes the tea soup of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he can't help but feel disgusted.

When you have time, you must fry a little tea yourself.

The two of them drank tea and said polite words that were not nutritious.

If it were Lu Bu from before, he would definitely feel impatient, and he would directly ask Zhen Yi what the purpose of his visit was.

But after the modern journey, Lu Bu became more patient, and quietly said those unnutritious words to Zhen Yi.

After a while, Zhen Yi asked Lu Bu, "Fengxian, I heard that you invented the divine oil?" ”

Here it comes!

Zhen Yi really came here for the divine oil!

Lu Bu said quietly: "Yes, I don't know what Brother Zhen has to say?" ”

Zhen Yi laughed and said, "Feng Xian, it's refreshing enough!" Okay, then I'm not going around in circles! Feng Xian, how about you make a price and sell me the process of making divine oil? ”

Lu Bu said with interest: "Brother Zhen, are you digging into the corner of our Taibai home?" ”

Zhen Yi shook his head and said: "No, no, you can rest assured, even if I get the production process of divine oil, I will not open a restaurant in Luoyang City to steal your business." You know, the foundation of our Zhen family is in Jizhou, what do you think? ”

It's not that the production process of divine oil can't be sold to Zhen Yi, thinking that even if Lu Bu doesn't sell it, it is impossible for the production process of divine oil to be kept secret for a long time.

Even if Lu Bu didn't take the lead in making sesame oil, sesame oil would soon come out, but it had not been widely promoted for the time being.

But Lu Bu had other plans.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu said to Zhen Yi: "Brother Zhen, why don't we change the trading method?" As for the production process, I don't sell it directly to you, but use the production process to participate in the shares, and I only need half of the profit. ”
