Chapter 19: Buying Soybeans

Thanks to book friends: Poison Valley ★ Morrow, book friends 160220012831944, and bitter sea Wuzhou laughed and forgot their worries for their reward support!

(Today's second shift will still be a little later, probably between 12-1 o'clock, or the same sentence, readers at work, rest early.) )

It was only one morning, and the bright day in Li Chu's courtyard spread in the town.

Gathering thunder and lightning?

Collecting lightning?

Use the power of thunder and lightning for night lighting?

The latest invention of Lu craftsmen?

Liar, deceive the ghost.

But the people of Lijia Village describe it as if it were real, as soon as the switch is pressed, the light will be on, and when pressed, the light will go out, and it can be placed outdoors, not afraid of the wind, not afraid of the rain, as long as there is electricity, it can be bright forever.

Moreover, it is as bright as day, which is tens of thousands of times better than an oil lamp.

Many people chose to believe that the people in Lijia Village said this, which did not look like a fraud, and a respected old man in the village had personally tested this incident, and with the prestige and reputation of the old man, it was impossible to tell a lie.

There are also many people who don't believe it, because this matter is too mysterious.

How can the thunder and lightning in the heavens be controlled by ordinary people like me?

How can the thunder and lightning in the sky deign to descend to the mortal world for a mortal to control?

Even Mr. Nadaling had to open the altar and sacrifice to the heavens before he could invite thunder and lightning.

Moreover, the power of thunder and lightning is very powerful, Li Chu has no mana at all, how can he use it, this is definitely a lie.

Mr. Darling is Lin Lingsu.

The great master of the Shenxiao faction will practice the five thunder methods, which are inherited by the current official family, and implement the Taoist Shenxiao Palace throughout the country.

Li Chu's yard is not far from the town, and many people even came to Li Chu's yard to see this miraculous electric light.

Fortunately, he simply connected another wire, connected to the gate of the yard, in front of everyone, step by step operation, strung with small bamboo, installed an incandescent lamp outside, and installed the switch outside the yard, with this group of curious people to toss.

So the incandescent lights outside the courtyard turned on and out, and the crowd screamed all kinds of exclamations.

According to the tossing method of this group of people, I am afraid that if you don't use it for a day, the bulb of this incandescent lamp will burn.

Burn it, burn it, anyway, 1 custom coin can buy 10, let them go, after all, the acceptance of new things, there always needs to be a process, and after that, the whole town will be covered with electric lights, and at that time, it will not be strange.

The only thing to pay attention to is the Leopard 1 tank parked in the open space outside the courtyard and covered with a tarpaulin.

There were already a few curious people in the crowd who came over to take a look, after all, this thing is a bit big, and this tarpaulin looks like a remarkable fabric.

"A bunch of black stones, what's there to look at."

Li Chu could only use coal to perfunctory, and asked Yang Cheng to come over and guard it well.

He had other things to do today, and it was impossible for him to spend time with this group of curious villagers.

"Folks, which of you grows beans, from now on, I will start to harvest soybeans, eight cents per catty, and the villagers can sell your own soybeans to me, or I can go to the door to collect them."

Li Chu ran to the gate of the courtyard, beckoned the big guy to look this way, and released the news of the purchase of soybeans.

Beans have been cultivated in China since ancient times, basically all over the country, the nutritional value is very high, you can plant several times a year, however, this so-called nutritional value, in the Northern Song Dynasty, is a fart.

On the market, the price of soybeans is 5 or 6 wen per catty.

Li Chu came out with 8 Wen here, which is an extremely high price.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to buy it at such a high price, unless it was a year of great famine.

Li Chu uses this price, but also has his own ideas and intentions, first of all, the price is high, everyone will sell soybeans to him, and secondly, the profit is also high, everyone is a villager, and you can't let everyone suffer, right?

In addition, the planting of soybeans is planted on the side of the walkway at the edge of the field, and it does not affect the wheat or rice in the field, and the symbiosis between the two does not interfere with each other.

This kind of price can improve everyone's enthusiasm, if you buy at this price for a long time, you will definitely be able to let many people plant soybeans in the coming year, and at that time, it will be the source of soybeans.

Soybeans are the most basic raw materials of Lao Gan Ma.

In later generations, Lao Gan Ma has used very, very successful experience to tell Li Chu that this kind of thing will become popular all over the world sooner or later.

Not to mention, at this time, the south is under the shroud of damp miasma, there is no chili pepper to eliminate the dampness and cold in the body, and the south alone is already a very large market, and the market for old godmothers is urgently needed.

From the moment he planned to sell as an old godmother, Li Chu didn't plan to make a fuss.

Open a factory and set up a production line.

Therefore, a stable source of supply is a must.

A few pennies more, so that everyone can sell here, develop such a habit, and the profit in this old godmother is only a few pennies, if a few pennies can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, then it is really worth it.

Tempeh, this kind of thing has existed in the Tang Dynasty, or even earlier, but this fermentation process does not have a set of simplified and safe processes in later generations.

Although Li Chu knew how to ferment better and faster, compared with the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was not much gap.

Moreover, Rufen Town is on the official road, and there are countless merchants who come and go from the south to the north.

Don't talk about the far, let's talk about the near, one is Zhang Laocai, if you wait until Li Chu opens the factory to establish the old godmother production line, can you expect Zhang Laocai to be indifferent?

Even if Zhang Laocai won't be like Li Chu, he will also open an old godmother factory, but do you expect him to deliberately stumble on you and disgust you?

It's just a few pennies, and the key points in it are far more than the value of these pennies.

"What, eight cents?"

"Xiao Chu, I heard you right, you just said that you collected soybeans for a pound?"

"Xiao Chu, how much do you want to collect, I still have some at home, I will send it to you immediately."

"Brother Chu, are you sure you use eight cents a pound to collect?"

"Xiao Chu, can you take my family, you wait, I'll go home and send it to you."

Just now, I was still studying and sighing at the magic of this electric lamp, and when I heard that Li Chu was going to collect soybeans, it was still a high price of eight cents a catty, and he immediately asked nonsense.

Li Chu also saw that two or three women quietly slipped out of the crowd and rushed to their homes.

These are all shrewd lords, everyone is here to ask, and they go straight home to bring beans, and they must be the first to sell the soybeans.

"Okay, okay, let's listen to me first."

Li Chu temporarily comforted the crowd and announced seriously: "From today on, Li Chu will buy soybeans at the price of eight cents per catty, as for this purchase amount, it is 1,000 catties for the time being, don't worry, this 1,000 catties is only temporary, if the situation is good, after the harvest of 1,000 catties, it will be purchased again in a few days, of course, this price will not be reduced in the future!" ”

"Xiao Chu, you're so good."

"Xiao Chu, what are you doing with collecting so many beans?"

Li Chu smiled and kept it secret for the time being.

After getting Li Chu's serious reply, the people who were originally around the door of the house to study the electric light basically ran home, and this year, that person didn't grow some beans at home.

After a while, many people came with sacks of beans in burlap bags.

Li Chu borrowed another scale from the village, and in front of everyone, he passed the scales one by one, and then how much it weighed and how much to pay.

The silver was also yesterday, and Ah Xiu went to the county town and exchanged it for change.

1,000 catties of soybeans, this is also the limit that Li Chu can eat at present, the restaurant has only been open for two days, and he has earned more than 20 yuan, plus the cost of ingredients in these two days and the deposit paid to Uncle Zheng in the kiln factory yesterday, Li Chu has not much money left.

Li Chu originally wanted to go to the town to collect soybeans, but now that everyone has sent so many soybeans, he will not go for the time being.

At the door of the house, one by one, everyone, some brought ten catties, some only a few catties, but there was a family, picked up with a basket, a full forty catties.

Moreover, after knowing that Li Chu needed a thousand catties, after the group returned to the village, they told the rest of the village that they would buy a lot anyway, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to sell it.

This time back and forth, Li Chu didn't have to go to the town, on this day, he stayed at the door of his house, and this group of simple villagers took the initiative to bring soybeans over.

In one day, 1,000 catties of soybeans have been purchased.

Li Chu had to regretfully tell the villagers that they would wait for the next time, as for when the next time would be, it would be as short as a few days or as long as a month, and this group of talents left in a huff.

However, there are also people who refuse to leave, for some reasons.

Lamp......

During the day, I couldn't see anything, but at night, the sky outside darkened, and the light of the electric light became more and more obvious.

With the daytime to see how Li Chu made it, and then looking at this electric lamp, everyone has their own thoughts.

"Brother Chu, can you install this electric light in my house too, this is much more convenient than an oil lamp."

"Yes, Brother Chu, I don't know how much it costs to install this thing?"

Rome wasn't built overnight, either.

Li Chu had no choice but to explain the reason to them in detail, so that they should not worry, these things would enter their homes in the future.

It wasn't until after everyone was gone, that the toil, the toil.

Inside, the electric lights shone brightly.

Yang Kang, holding a worn-out book, read it carefully under the light.

Ah Xiu was outside the yard, sorting out the soybeans he had bought.

In the courtyard, Yang Cheng was holding a long stick, stabbing and picking, and was practicing the Yang family's marksmanship hard.

In the room, Li Chu sat on a stool with an expression of enjoyment.

Behind him, A-Ning was squeezing his shoulder with a grin.

"Brother-in-law, when can you make a fun trick for A-Ning?"
