Then Gao Feng came to Zhang Butcher.

has a good relationship with Zhang Butcher, Gao Feng didn't mean to fool him, and he spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush. He said that he needed beef tendon and marble slabs, and that the marble slabs needed ten pieces, and that there were as many cow tendons as there were.

This time the quantity was a bit large, and Zhang Butcher could only say that he would do his best, but he didn't dare to admit how much he could buy.

After talking about this matter and paying ten yuan, Gao Feng suddenly asked: "How to sell animal oil?" ”

After listening to Gao Feng's question, Zhang Butcher was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What is a little animal oil?" It's not worth much, how much do you want, I have it here, say a number and give it to you a scale. ”

Gao Feng thought for a while and said, "Give me ten catties first, and also, you can introduce to me its output and trading." ”

Seeing that Gao Feng was not joking, Zhang Butcher said: "A 200-kilogram pig can produce forty or fifty kilograms of oil, an adult cow can produce nearly 100 kilograms, and other animals are small and relatively few." The use of animal oil is not much, the poor have no oil to eat, most of them buy fried oil, and some buy it to make lamp oil, but the amount is not large, so it is not easy to sell, and the price is cheap, it is about 30% of the price of meat, and it is only a few pennies a catty. ”

Gao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You have all the oil here for me, aren't you going to the county seat?" Wherever you go, you can buy it for me, you have to say that there is no limit, you can buy as much as you want, and the money will come back and settle it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Butcher sighed for a while: "How many do you want, when did you become so rich."

Still, he asked, "What's the use of asking for so much?" Don't smash your hands. ”

Gao Feng smiled slightly and said: "This is a secret, don't worry, your money is indispensable." ”

Nowadays, people don't know the use of animal oil, but Gao Feng knows it clearly.

Animal fat can be fried to produce animal fat, which contains a large amount of fatty acids, accounting for more than ninety or five, and fifty percent is glycerin. Fatty acids are saponified and hardened to produce something that is stearic acid, the by-product of which is glycerol.

Glycerin has many uses, the most important of which is the production of gunpowder.

The use of stearic acid is even greater, and the most direct use is to make candles.

In fact, animal fat can also be burned, and even candles can be made, but because the oil contains a small amount of glycerin, the flame is smoky and smells bad when burning, so it cannot be promoted.

The ancients also had candles, which were generally made of two materials, one was ash worms and the other was beeswax, because these two materials were extremely scarce, so that the price of candles remained high, and only the rich and noble people used it, and the poor people didn't dare to think about it.

If you use stearic acid to make a candle, the flame is bright when burning, there is almost no black smoke, and the cost is quite low, so the promotion value is very high, after all, the largest consumer group is still the general public.

Gao Feng has a way of turning the oil into stearic acid, which solves a big problem.

Stearic acid is not just a simple way to make candles, it is quite versatile. For example, it can be heated with table salt to produce sodium stearate, which is the main raw material for the production of soap; It can be synthesized with alkali to make cosmetics such as alabaster cream; It can also be used as lubricants, polishes, additives, stabilizers, vulcanizing agents, etc.

Not to mention other uses, Gao Feng is very satisfied with the fact that he can make candles, soaps and alabaster cream, which are inexpensive and widely used, and will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Animal oil is produced in large quantities, the price is low, and almost no one cares about it in the market, and the peak can just buy it at a low price and make products to sell, how can such a good deal be told to Zhang Butcher?

Of course, even if there is a large amount of animal oil, Gao Feng will not be able to produce the product in one step, and he will have to do some experiments when he goes back, until he makes sure that it is safe before it can be mass-produced, and his first plan is to produce candles.

After negotiating with Zhang Butcher, Gao Feng made a list containing limestone, charcoal, etc., and asked him to help buy them in the county seat.

Afterwards, Gao Feng found Gao Youxian, went to the market to buy two big iron pots and went back together.

This time, plus the wages issued, the money in Gao Feng's hands was almost spent, but most of the materials have been bought, and he is just waiting to make products to sell for money.

Back at home, Gao Feng unexpectedly found that there were two more people in the hospital.

One of them was in his fifties, brightly dressed, rich and generous, and his two eyes revealed an unusual expression, and at first glance he was a shrewd person.

The other was dressed plainly, looking polite and polite, and was obviously the man's attendant.

This is a master, but I don't know who the other party is.

Gao Youcai was talking with the guests, and when he saw Gao Feng coming back, he hurriedly beckoned him over: "This is Li Yuanwai from Da Li Zhuang, he came to see the sofa." ”

After listening to Gao Youcai's introduction, Gao Feng immediately remembered. Li Qikun and Li Dayuan of Da Li Zhuang are actually a businessman who went south and north in the past, and there are many legendary stories about him spread in the countryside, for example, he went down to the south of the Yangtze River alone, broke out of the world alone in Jinling, and still has several shops, in Feng County, he is even more famous, not only has a few shops, but also has a friendship with the county order, but recently he is idle at home, bought hundreds of acres of land, and has become a standard outsider.

Li Yuanwai actually came to see the furniture in person, this is a rare scene, Gao Feng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said: "Li Yuanwai came to make Peng Shen shine, but the conditions of the cold house are not good, and you didn't insult your feet, right?" ”

To Gao Feng's surprise, Li Qikun seemed to be shrewd, but he didn't have much of a frame, and he spoke a lot more easily, so he just listened to him: "Haha, I just came from Bai Ren's house, and the chief said that the kid of the Gao family has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and now I see that it is really the case, and I have learned it." ”

Gao Feng secretly said, is there such a boast? What's the difference between this and burying people? However, since it was an autumn breeze, he was not far behind, and said: "This is the owner who can afford the boy, and he is making a joke about the boy." However, Li Yuanwai's name is very loud, looking at Feng County, no, the north and south of the river, your name is known to everyone, no one knows, my admiration for you is like a surging river endlessly, and like the Yellow River flooding, it is out of control. ”

Blow it, anyway, if you brag about not filing taxes, you can't stop running the train with your mouth full, and you can't stop it.

"Haha, your kid is really thick-skinned enough, and this kind of thing is also spoken, it seems that Bai Ren still underestimates you." Li Qikun said with a smile.

"To be recognized by outsiders, the kid is very rich." Gao Feng continued to say cheekily.

"Don't kick your nose in the face, catch up with the duck on the shelf, but your kid really fits the old man's taste, today I came to your house, and you can also come to my house to sit when you are free." Li Qikun said happily.

"Boy, respect your life." Gao Feng bowed and agreed.

"Since the gossip is over, let's get down to business, I'll buy the sofa, and see how to sell it." Li Qikun said with a straight expression.

"A set of 100 hangings." Gao Feng said without hesitation.
