Chapter 387: The Popularity of Chili Peppers

Since the steady growth of the island's chili pepper production, the transportation of chili peppers has also changed from the beginning of the special delivery of people to the later regular delivery of Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

When the chili peppers are ripe, the chili seeds are taken out and continued to be planted, and the chili meat is ground into powder to make chili powder, and now almost all the usable land on Sea Shark Island is planted with chili peppers, except for the land where sunflowers are planted, and even after cutting down the trees on the mountain of Sea Shark Island, the hillside has become a chili field.

In addition to the steady supply of new dishes to Yixing Hutchison, the increased production of chili peppers has finally begun to have a surplus, and the people of Beijing have also adapted to this secret seasoning of Yixing Hutchison.

In addition to selling packaged chili noodles, Zhang San also developed chili oil, which is to heat sesame oil and pour it on chili noodles mixed with sesame seeds to fry it to create a fragrance. Then it is served in a small jar the size of a teacup.

This kind of fresh ingredient has been launched and immediately became popular in Beijing, Zhang San immediately took the opportunity to launch the hot pot this way of eating, which became popular in Beijing, and for a while the capital was full of hot pot shabu mutton, of course, if you don't have a consistent chili oil to make a mandarin duck pot, then why are you embarrassed to say that you eat hot pot?

This is not tight, Zhang San's chili oil sales are hot, but also along with the blacksmith workshop also made a lot of money, because the Great Song Dynasty lacks copper, so Zhang San's invention of hot pot is directly pig iron hot pot, although it is bulky and slower, but it is cheaper.

This also made the charcoal burning industry in Beijing, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, boom again, and Zhang San's hero building almost became a hot pot restaurant, and some restaurants in the capital were inspired by this and even changed to hot pot restaurants, and business was also very good for a while.

The most beneficiary is Zhang San's Yixing Hutchison, the first to launch a dish with chili peppers, and then use chili peppers as a seasoning, this instant made Yixing Hutchison and other imitators widen the gap, and the people in the capital know that only Yixing Hutchison's snacks are the most authentic.

Although this advantage was only maintained for a month or two, and other stores also bought chili peppers as Zhang San's chili peppers went on sale, the reputation has been formed, and as long as Yixing Hutchison does not smash his own signboard, this advantage will always exist.

Yixing Hutchison remembered that after these reforms, it is no longer just a snack street, it is now a large-scale consumption center integrating catering, entertainment, clothing, jewelry, and daily necessities.

Where there are Yixing Hutchison snacks, there must be chess and card rooms, casinos, department stores, clothing and cloth stores, treasure pavilions, and green buildings...... This is not yet, because of the interference of a large group of children, Zhang San's Qinglou industry is advancing relatively slowly.

Even Zhang San felt the pressure of the women, Zhang San originally thought that it should be very simple to recruit self-employed households into his own building, after all, he only needed a small amount of taps to provide them with a venue.

But Zhang San ignored that if there was a serious job, who would be willing to do this kind of leather business, the women seized this opportunity, and when Zhang San arranged for these women who were willing to join to do gynecological examinations, they persuaded them one by one in the infirmary.

Nine out of ten special workers recruited by Zhang San were moved by them, and finally joined their garment processing factory, and the remaining one-tenth was fully rolled out, even if it was to fill a building, it would take more than a month to put it together.

Zhang San also thought about buying some from other buildings, but the girls who were bought back did not have a history of blood and tears of suffering, and the girls came to intercede one by one with tears in their eyes, and Zhang San had to arrange these girls to the garment factory again.

As a result, Zhang San's hard work to recruit workers for Qinglou finally evolved into recruiting workers for their garment factory, and in desperation, Zhang San had no choice but to do it, anyway, Zhang San was not in a hurry.

Zhang San's old brothers once proposed to Qian Jin that most of the Yixing Hutchison in the capital were rented shops, which had to pay a lot of rent every month.

Because they have a lot of money together, Qian Jin reported to Zhang San, Zhang San thought about it, there is indeed this matter, and the shops in some areas still have a tendency to raise the price of the shop. It was only by some special means that it was suppressed.

Moreover, with the increase in the profits of Zhang San's newspaper industry, and the gradual loss of Weiyuan Dart Bureau after the business was rolled out, Zhang San is now indeed able to report these shops to buy.

Zhang San instructed Sister-in-law Yang to organize a negotiation team with the monkeys to negotiate the purchase of the shops one by one, this plan was carried out very slowly, because Zhang San's old brothers only paid for the stalls of Yixing and snacks, and the other businesses were all owned by Zhang San, so Zhang San needed to pay for them himself.

Most of the funds in Zhang San's hands were invested in the expansion of the south, as well as Weiyuan Dart Bureau, a big money-eater, Zhang San still had the necessary reserve funds, so there was not much money to buy shops every month.

In fact, Zhang San is most worried about the safety of his own industry now, people often say that the more money, the more insecure he is, although Zhang San is not worried about the safety of his life now, but he is afraid that someone will look at his business.

Zhang San is still considered to be a saint now, so although many officials have ideas, they dare not put them into practice, but with the intensification of Huizong's imagination of favoring traitors, there will be a large number of favored ministers who will be on the throne, and others do not understand Zhang San's status in Zhao Ji's heart, but these people do understand that Zhang San's paper tiger cannot scare these people.

In fact, Zhang San now has a big killer weapon in his hand, that is, the newspaper, if Zhang San, who controls public opinion, is a political master and uses the public opinion tools in his hand to play politics with these people, then it is estimated that these people may not be Zhang San's opponents.

It's a pity that Zhang San doesn't like politics, so he can't use this thing well, and Zhang San's current idea is to use the time when his tiger skin is still there to try to accumulate strength.

This is also the reason why Zhang San is in a hurry to go to Jiangnan, as the saying goes, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, then the industry in Hangzhou is the second hole prepared by Zhang San, and now those in Hangzhou are not called industries, because there is only input and no output, so now it can only be regarded as a force.

Moreover, those things in Jiangnan may need continuous investment in a few years, so Zhang San plans to take advantage of this trip south to open up some new financial routes in Jiangnan, so that all business will not be concentrated in Tokyo as it is now, and he will worry about the business in the capital all day long.

After Zhang San's combing for several months, the business has been smoothed a lot, and each industry has its own goals and development directions, so that Tokyo's industry can be considered to be straight, from the hectic early stage of the business to the middle of the business in an orderly manner.
