Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wonderful Fate of Ah Bian and Tobacco

As if a lightning bolt crossed Chu Fan's mind, he finally remembered where he had seen this medicine called Ah Bian - it turned out to be in a memorial hall in Guangdong!

If you want to make money quickly, what else is faster in this era?

That's it!

The problem that he had been thinking about for many days was solved, and looking at the face with crooked eyes and slanted mouth, Chu Fan also felt that it was not so hateful, so when Chu Meng came up and asked him if he wanted money or legs, Chu Fan asked him to ask for money.

After telling Chu Meng a few words, Chu Fan hurriedly returned to the house and began to design a plan to get out of trouble around Ah Bian.

In this era, Ah Bian is just a special medicine for colds, fevers, headaches, and brain fever, and it will take a long time for its other functions to be thoroughly excavated, and Chu Fan doesn't want to tap its functions in his own motherland - he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be sick and sick!

However, the country of Wei is different, when Chu Fan was in his last life, the vast majority of Chinese hated this arrogant and vicious island country. "If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China", this is a vicious wolf, peeking at this rich and vast land of China all the time.

Even in the era of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State had begun to show its sharp minions, first for the hundred years of the Wa Rebellion, and then even more blatantly attacked North Korea, so there was the "Wanli Three Great Campaign" of the Korean Campaign.

Although in the Korean War, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the monkey, was beaten back to its original form, but history tells us that the Wa Kingdom will always be beaten and will not have a long memory, and the Korean War only made the Oriental dwarfs stop for more than 200 years, and in the 19th century, they were ready to move again, following the footsteps of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and set foot on Korean soil. This time, they stayed on the mainland for a longer time, went farther, and inflicted greater trauma on the Chinese nation.

Of course, this time they also lost even worse!

But who can guarantee that there will be no next time?

Therefore, when there is such a good opportunity in front of him, which can not only contribute to the health of the dwarves of the Japanese Kingdom, but also earn a lot of silver for nothing, Chu Fan will never hesitate!

Moreover, he will not have the slightest psychological burden -- to completely eradicate this greatest threat to China, Chu Fan, as a Chinese, is duty-bound!

But the problem now is that since Shandong has Abian, of course Japan also has it, and the reason why it is not popular is of course the same as in China.

So, how to turn the flavor medicine of Ah Bian into a daily consumer product?

Rubbing his lower lip, Chu Fan's eyes looked at the tobacco on the table.

Right! Wrap it up!

Let Ah Bian turn into a cigarette!

In this way, it can not only avoid the complicated process of making cigarettes, greatly shorten the processing time, but also cleverly avoid Wang Ting's trial, which makes him think that he is just selling packaged tobacco.

If you really want to doze off, you can send a pillow, Chu Fan couldn't sit still anymore, so he rode a big mule to Dengzhou City, and bought a pound of Abian for two taels of silver, and more than ten catties of tobacco for five dollars of silver.

As soon as he returned, he brought a small charcoal stove and a small iron pot, and closed the door to do experiments.

It is very easy to make Ah Bian transform, simply put, it is to stick Ah Bian to the tobacco, so Chu Fan first put water in the pot, then cut one or two Ah Bian into the water, and then put a pound of tobacco into the water, and slowly boiled it over low heat until the water evaporated.

Observing carefully, Chu Fan found that the effect was not good, and only about half of the tobacco was wrapped in black-brown Ah Bian.

After repeated experiments several times, Chu Fan got the best ratio: one pound of tobacco with 1.7 taels of abian, just enough to make sure that the black-brown paste can be seen on each tobacco shred.

After doing the experiment, Chu Fan calculated the account beautifully: 1.7 taels of Abian, worth three dollars and four cents of silver, the value of tobacco is negligible, and a pound of tobacco can roll 500 cigarettes, that is, 25 packs, 2 yuan of silver per pack, as for whether the little devils will buy it, do you need to ask about this? Ah Bian's power has long passed through history, ah no, the future has proved it!

In this way, one pound of tobacco can be sold for 5 taels of silver, and after other costs, you can earn at least 4.5 taels, and 10,000 catties of tobacco can earn back 45,000 taels of silver!

900% profit margin!

Chu Fan rubbed his hands and wanted to sing loudly, the profit of this thing is high.

According to this profit rate, the 5,000 taels of silver in his hand alone will be more than enough to earn back 30,000 silver.

The seemingly impossible task was solved by chance!

Suppressing his excitement, Chu Fan came to the main room and found Zhang, who had almost recovered from the cold, and made a few requests to her, the first was to ask for a big pot and build a stove in the yard by the way; The second is to ask Zhang's to find ten people, three cooks, seven cigarettes, the cooks can find men, and all the cigarettes must be women.

"Mother, these ten people must be reliable, the tighter the mouth, the better." Chu Fan emphasized that people can't do it, and the key is to keep it secret.

"Fan'er, why are you looking for so many people?" It's just a matter of asking for a pot or a stove, and Zhang is very puzzled by hiring workers.

"This ...... Mother, don't worry about it, you'll know in the future...... Whether our family can go back to the house or not is up to here. Chu Fan didn't want to tell Zhang Shiming, so he had to perfunctory.

"One person is 8 wen a day, ten people are 80 wen, and three or four taels of silver will be paid in a month, which is not counting the food money...... Fan'er, your little capital is not even enough to buy raw silk, why do you spend this unjust money? Zhang asked with a frown after settling the account.

"Hey! What is three or four taels," Chu Fan smiled and leaned into Zhang's ear and whispered, "We can earn at least fifty thousand this time!" ”

"Huh? It's true? Zhang's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at him in disbelief, his jaw dropping. After a long time, she said expectantly, "Fan'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, I won't steal or rob, and I will ensure that I make money cleanly...... Besides, now that the capital is like this, it is impossible to earn 30,000 silver honestly and come back, how can I do it without some strange tricks...... Mother, believe me, didn't I get back the last catastrophe? Chu Fan patiently explained to Zhang.

With his explanation, Zhang's eyes slowly became firm, yes, if it weren't for the cleverness and decisiveness of his son who had changed his temperament last time, his whole family would probably be squatting in prison now.

Now looking at his conclusive appearance, Zhang's confidence has also been inspired, his son has changed too much, what surprise will he give himself this time?

"Okay, I'll go find someone to build a stove, and by the way, go to my family's former tenant to see if there is a suitable person." After making up his mind, Zhang nodded.

"Then it's hard work, let's try to start work tomorrow." finally persuaded the old lady, Chu Fan was in a good mood.

Following Zhang's back, Chu Fan also went out, and he was going to Dengzhou to buy Ah Bian and tobacco to train these ten people.

But he didn't go directly to the road, but came to Ge Bi's house in the village - only after the last robbery, Chu Fan was still a little worried that something would go wrong, so he was ready to call Ge Bi to go with him.

Ge Bi lived alone, and after listening to Chu Fan's plan, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything - since he saw Chu Fan's methods of fighting the king's court with clouds and rain, he was already full of trust in this young master.

The two put the mule on the car and went straight to Dengzhou.

Entering the city, Chu Fan came to the "Jishitang", and when he entered the door, he met the guy who grabbed the medicine last time, Chu Fan took out a stack of one hundred taels of silver tickets and gently put them on the counter.

"How many Ah Bian do you have? I want them all! ”
