Chapter 11: Three or Two Things (II)
China was the first country to grow soybeans, and tofu originated in the Han and Han dynasties, among which Liu An, the king of Huainan, is the most famous for his tofu technique. Although his subordinates have found www.biquge.info a way to coagulate soybean milk with brine salt, the means are not mature.
Fortunately, Wei Yu remade the tofu with a modern eye, and the color and taste of these tofu were incomparable to those clumsy techniques of the Han and Han dynasties.
"Childe, the spirit of today looks good." Xiaoru said with a smile while tying Wei Yu's hair.
"Well. Maybe.
There shouldn't be any problems in our refined salt business these days, right? ”
Although Wei Yu provided the technology, he did not take the lead in marketing. There are not many descendants of the Wei family, which also makes many slaves in the main house have some business methods, and Xiaoru is one of the good hands left by the Acropolis to Wei Yu.
At first, Wei Yu didn't know, but when he proposed to use the refined salt method to balance the Wang family, his father Acropolis vaguely revealed the information that Xiao Ru would do a good job. Xiaoru's methods in the past few days are also excellent, which obviously makes Wei Yu feel in the dark, at least at the beginning, Xiaoru is definitely pretending to be illiterate.
But then after thinking about it carefully, I figured it out, as the sister-in-law of the Wei family, Acropolis will definitely hide some strength by his side, if this is the case, the seemingly wooden Pan Min should be the same. So much so that Wei Yu then watched every servant in the house to observe carefully, and wanted to see something in their eyes.
"Don't worry, Childe." Xiao Ru put the jade comb on the table, "Our refined salt sales have been very good these days. There are more merchants in the east of the city, and they have been taken over by Cheng Gongzi and them, and it is said that they will soon return to their respective families, so that the sale of refined salt is officially put on their agenda. ”
Wei Yu nodded and took Xiao Ru's hand, "It's been hard for you these days, I don't care about these tedious things, if someone in the family makes you stumble and bring him directly to me." ”
Xiao Ru blushed a little, while Wei Yu continued to ask: "By the way, is there any news from the Wang family these days." ”
"There's no news, I heard Yang Gongzi's eyeliner say that the current Wang family is unexpectedly quiet, probably because Wang Linglu has not come back yet, and the Wang family lacks the backbone."
"Where is it so simple?" Wei Yu shook his head. Wang Ya is indeed very important to the Wang family, but now it is definitely not at the level of the backbone, it is the century-old family that is naturally very clear about these small actions in the market, the Wang family is not unwilling to do it, but they are waiting.
"Childe is saying that our attack this time is a test for the Wang family's Wang Ling Road?" Xiaoru rolled her eyes and immediately reacted.
"I'm afraid that's right, Wang Linglu is the son-in-law of the Wang family, and his father used to be a high-ranking official, so he must not be a simple person. Whether Wang Linglu can become the successor of the next generation of the Wang family, this test must be particularly important. ”
Wei Yu got up, took Xiaoru out of the yard, and randomly called Dian Wei, and the three of them sat in the carriage and went to the Wei family's shop in the east of the city.
Yang Liu is worthy of being known as an eight-year-old business wizard, compared to Cheng Xi, he is more interested in the value of refined salt, and the shops in the east of Weijia City are all taken care of by him, and these shops are all busy in front of them.
"Yo, why did Zhongdao come, and Xiaoru, evil comes." Yang Liu gestured a look, and the shopkeeper began to deal with affairs, and he and Wei Zhongdao and his party went upstairs to the private room.
After a while, Cheng Xi also came over, and Yang Liu rummaged through the empty wine glass with his hand and said: "Zhong Dao, I have already discussed this matter of refined salt with Shaowen, and I will go home tomorrow, and we are sure to let the family enter this overall situation." ”
Wei Yu looked at Cheng Xi, only to see that Cheng Xi also nodded.
"Zhongdao, our brother doesn't say secret words, if the family agrees, Fenyin and Wenxi will naturally sell it, but we will definitely have some involvement in Anyi.
But don't worry, if two-tenths of the profits from the sale of refined salt from my two families go to your Wei family, the so-called brothers will settle the accounts, I don't think Zhongdao will refuse it. ”
Yang Liu said slowly, in Wei Yu's opinion, he had made great preparations for what he said, and the method of refining salt was taught to Yang Liu Chengxi by Wei Yu willingly, so Yang Cheng's second family didn't need to buy first-hand supplies like the Wei family if they wanted to sell refined salt, and they could produce it themselves.
And there is no copyright patent in this era, so even if the Cheng and Yang families don't give profits, the Wei family can't say anything.
"Nakado." Cheng Xi had already spoken, "Ziyi's statement is nothing more than wanting to divide these Wei family shops in the east of the city into two of us. As for the title deed, we will compensate ten times the gold and silver. ”
Wei Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, so far, the title deeds of the two Han Dynasty are basically worthless, and the personnel of these shops are the house slaves cultivated by the Wei family, for these house slaves, from the Wei family to Cheng Yang, the two families are just changing owners.
"It's fine."
Wei Yu nodded, "The east of the city is originally the place where the merchants gather the most, since I dare to propose the method of refined salt in front of the two of you, I didn't think of eating alone, and the two brothers in the east of the city can take it." ”
Yang Liu was obviously a little embarrassed and said: "Our Yang family in the Guanlong area has a wide range of connections, and I can promise the two brothers that all the salt resources of our three families can be merged together at that time, and they will be divided equally, so that they can also make up for some of the guilt in my heart." ”
"That's very good." Cheng Xi nodded silently, and directly agreed to Yang Liu's proposal. Of course, Wei Yu didn't have any criticism in his heart, the Wei family's salt business was not very big, since Yang Liu was able to propose an even division of resources, so why not do it.
And he also knows that Anyi can be said to be the dominant Wei family, although the Cheng and Yang families have a very good relationship with the Wei family, but it is unreasonable to intervene in the shops in the east of Anyi City like this. Yang Liu's proposal must have been discussed with Cheng Xi to make up for some of the Wei family's losses.
"The Wang family has not heard a voice yet, and I guess my guess here is that the Wang family is just waiting for Wang Ya to return to deal with these things."
Wei Yu hurriedly followed Cheng Xi's words and said, "What Shaowen said is reasonable, I also guess like this, one of the purposes of the three brothers this time is to give the Wang family a deep painful blow, and for Wang Yalao, this time is indeed a test for his family."
In this way, I am a little looking forward to Wang Ya's return. ”
Wei Yu couldn't help but look out the window, Cheng Xi and Yang Liu didn't speak, Xiao Ru was still well-behaved, only Dian Wei was drinking his wine alone in Bazibazi.
"By the way, there are two more things to tell Zhongdao, Zhongdao's tofu is now very popular, the cost of tofu made in this way is not very high, and the selling price is very reasonable, so it is very distributed in the market."
Yang Liu looked at Dian Wei, who smiled and poured wine into his wine glass.
"On the side of the medicinal materials, we are also in accordance with Zhongdao's instructions, mainly to purchase, we spent a lot of money to recruit farmers to collect medicinal materials, and other herbs are okay, but the ginseng you said, I'm afraid that the Hedong side is not up to standard."
"According to what our young master said, something like ginseng should be produced in Liaodong." Xiao Ru finally spoke, she didn't have any opinion about her young master's division of the shops in Dongcheng to Cheng Yang, in his opinion, Wei Yu had the right to do such a thing.
"Xiaoru is right, I don't need to say much about the value of ginseng, ginseng likes cold, and Liaodong is mostly a bitter cold place, so it is natural to be born in that place."
Wei Yu also looked at Dian Wei, who was now holding the wine jar like a miser, and when the three of them looked at him, he was embarrassed to pour him a full glass.
Wei Yu drank it all and warmed his body, "Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains, we want to go there to do business, we must find a strong-willed and reliable person, anyway, is the person in charge of Liaodong now Gongsun Shengji?" ”
"He's right." Cheng Xi rubbed his head, "Gongsun Du was born at the end of the year, he is quite bold, recruits wise men, and is particularly open-minded. As long as we give him enough benefits, I think it will not stop us from buying ginseng in Liaodong. It's just Zhongdao, just a little medicinal herb, is it really worth our heavy investment? ”
Wei Yu was just a guess at first, but when he heard that Gongsun Du had really entered Liaodong now, he could be sure that the current Three Kingdoms had undergone certain twists and turns after his arrival, and Gongsun Du only entered Liaodong in 189 years in history, and now it is nine years early.
I didn't want to let go of Gongsun Du, Wei Yu looked at Cheng Xi and asked: "Ziyi Shaowen is also a person who ate ginseng soup today, does its benefit to the body still need to be explained?" ”
Yang Liu on the side hurriedly rounded the field, "Zhongdao, you misunderstood Shaowen's meaning, and we also know the goodness of ginseng." But we can't give full play to the medicinal value of ginseng, after all, ginseng is still as expensive as a radish, who can give full play to it, and how to make others understand the value of ginseng, and even how to make money is the question that Shaowen wants to ask. ”
Wei Yu was a little silent, but these things he didn't consider, just like a certain health care product in later generations, it must be widely advertised, and it is necessary to find a real spokesperson to reflect the value.
Widely advertised Wei Yu believes that he has the means in this modern era, but where is the Bole that can make the ginseng give full play.
There are three famous doctors in the Three Kingdoms, which are commonly known as the three divine doctors of Jian'an, Hua Yuanrang, Zhang Zhongjing, and Dong Junyi. Zhang Ji is not very old now, maybe he is still learning medical skills with his master Zhang Bozu, except for Zhang Ji who settled in Nanyang, the rest of Hua Tuo Dong Feng are all traveling doctors in the motherland, and the whereabouts of the two of them are erratic in the south and north, which is really difficult to find.
As long as one of them can be allowed to go out of the mountain, not to mention that the medicinal materials collected from this ginseng and other flavors can be fully used, even Wei Zhongdao's own cough and asthma may be rejuvenated by their skillful hands.
The problem is that these masters are difficult to serve.
Wei Yu shook his head and said, "I have some methods to make ginseng famous all over the world, but the medical craftsman who is proficient in this technique still has to find it slowly."
But ginseng is a medicinal material that I am determined to obtain, if the two brothers feel that there is no problem, I think my family Pan Min can go to Liaodong to buy ginseng, Meng Ran is the old man of my Wei family, naturally trustworthy, as for the profits from this ginseng, it is naturally appropriate for the three of us to share it equally. ”
Cheng Xi and Yang Liu saw that Wei Yu insisted and didn't say anything more, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that for the profits brought by refined salt to the two families, the investment in ginseng was simply meagre, even if he spent money to play with Wei Yu, it was not enough to hurt the two families.
