"Yes, it's two pennies!" Zhang Yi smiled, affirmed the answer just now, and said: "As my Earl of the Tang Dynasty, Xia Guan should serve the imperial court, but this ice making method still wants to be passed on, so he can only use this method to assist the Grand Administrator!" ”

What Zhang Yi said is called a righteous statement, but.... The eleventh month behind the tree is deeply disdainful!

For Zhang Yi, Yue 11 is called an understanding, and he doesn't believe that he wants to work in vain from Zhang Yi, a guy whose eyes have been drilled into the eyes of money, and he is killed!

However, the eleventh day of the month was thinking about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of the key to the problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A pot of chilled grapes can be worth ten times, which is true, even if it is low, it will cost about eight times, but it is not comparable to two pennies of ice cubes!

Besides, the consistent money is equal to a thousand Wen, and this consistent money can basically buy five hundred ice cubes....

Of course, the most important thing is that this ice-making method has long been spread everywhere in the Earl's Palace, not to mention that everyone can do it, at least many maids in the inner courtyard can do it, and Zhang Yi is actually secretive!

And just now, he did it once in front of Tang Peng.... I can't figure out what kind of medicine Zhang Yi is selling in the gourd!

Yue 11 was thinking about Zhang Yi's thoughts, and Li Jing, Niu Jinda and Tang Peng were also calculating the gains and losses.

Especially Li Jing, after careful calculation, he slapped the board on the spot, two pennies and an ice cube, this is simply a good thing that can't be found with a lantern!

"In that case, the old man will give you a great credit!"

"Then thank you for the kindness of the Grand Steward!" Zhang Yi smiled and said modestly: "But you also know that Xia Guan is actually a lazy person, and it is really helpless to go to the chief manager's account to serve on the orders of His Majesty this time."

According to the lower officials, this meritorious service will be exempted! As a noble of the Tang Dynasty, he is already in the same breath as the imperial court, and it is really appropriate to make some efforts! ”

A seat, what he said was a noble, Li Jing and Niu Jinda were in awe, and even Tang Peng was a little red-faced, full of deep remorse for his life in the front half of his body.

Throwing the ice cubes into the copper basin, Zhang Yi sighed before muttering: "Grand Administrator, General Niu, this ice making requires three major elements, the first is the secret method, the second is saltpeter, and the third is the container and water for these things. It can be said that without any of these three conditions, this ice cannot be made. ”

"Yes! That's true! Li Jing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "There is no shortage of water and ice containers, and you also have a method, do you mean that this saltpeter is not enough?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhang Yi shook his head and explained: "When the lower official came, he asked the sergeant from Zhangjiazhuang to carry a large amount of saltpeter, as long as it is used properly, plus the supplement along the way, it is not a big problem!"

The reason why I said this was that the lower official wanted to explain to the chief manager why he was charged two cents. ”

"It's nothing more than a cost ear!" Li Jing waved his sleeves at Zhang Yi, and now that he had solved the matter of the ice cube, he was in a very good mood, and said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Although the old man has never done business, he still knows some business things, whether it is saltpeter or other materials, it costs money, two pennies for a piece of ice, and the old man believes that those sergeants should afford it!" ”

.......

Tang Peng's heart was bitter for a while, and when he looked at Zhang Yi, he couldn't wait to slap his face that was about to cramp with a smile.

Thinking that a big deal was ruined by Zhang Yi like this, and that he was still an accomplice, thinking that the mountains of copper coins were like a boiled duck actually flapping its wings and flying, he felt the urge to commit suicide in his heart.

"Brother Tang, what's wrong? With a sad face, could it be that you are still heartache after drinking your grape wine just now? Zhang Yi looked at Tang Peng with a smile and asked.

"Chestnut, do you know how many copper coins we lost just now?" Tang Peng was speechless for a while, he felt that Zhang Yi had gone crazy, and immediately explained: "Two pennies and a piece of ice, all of them went to grandma's house!" ”

After speaking, he shook his head and sat down on the straw mat and sulked.

"Huh! Tang Sijie, do you think my uncle will lose money? Wang Lao Wu was immediately happy.

If other people did this, Wang Lao Wu would definitely think like Tang Peng, but it was Zhang Yi who did this, so he didn't believe it.

You know, Zhang Yi sold a broken orange at a sky-high price and a duck to the industry! Zhang Yi may make a loss-making transaction? Someone has to believe it!

"That's nature!" Tang Peng glared at Zhang Yi angrily, pointed to the copper basin and said: "Only about three catties of saltpeter produce such a little ice, and it is divided into such a big ice block as your uncle said that there are at most ten pieces, and according to the price he gave, it is only twenty yuan, so it's strange if you don't lose money!" ”

"A pound of saltpeter is half a penny, three catties are a penny and a penny, Qingshui doesn't need money, and the cost of other things adds up to only about three pennies, which is already nearly ten times the profit! Are you not satisfied?"

Zhang Yi is a little strange, it is obviously a very profitable business, how can it become a loss-making business in front of Tang Peng and them. If the cost is strictly controlled, he estimates that the cost should be less than a penny.

You know, saltpeter can be reused, it's just a little more effort, so calculated, this profit can even reach twenty times, this is simply a business against the sky!

"But a pot of grapes in Chang'an also needs ten guan money...."Tang Peng still remembered the ten guan money in his mouth.

In his opinion, one pot is ten, then two pots, three pots.... Or even more? I can't calculate this account at all, I just feel that I missed tens of thousands of times in an instant, and it's really strange that he can be in a good mood.

"Then Brother Tang thinks we can sell a few pots in Chang'an?" Zhang Yi asked rhetorically.

"This... It should be quite a lot! Tang Peng said with some uncertainty: "Even if you only sell one pot a day, you will be able to make five thousand ice cubes here!" ”

"Do you really think so?"

"That's nature! So, chestnut, you're losing a lot this time! A good business, just give it away for nothing, I'm anxious for you! ”

"According to the quality of your grapes, a pot will cost about 500 yuan, and if you sell a pot, in fact, in addition to the cost, the profit is only about nine!" Zhang Yi picked up the wine glass by himself, poured a glass of the freshly chilled grapes, then took a sip, and said strangely: "But have you ever thought that our army can have 100,000 people, and among these 100,000 people, not to mention that everyone buys it, even if there are only 10,000 people a day, what is the profit in it?"

And I'm sure that as the weather gets hotter, the number of people buying it will only increase, not less! Unless it is autumn, our business can continue to do it! ”
