Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Orchid Sugar Incident

"Young Master." Qiu Zhihong's eyes welled up with tears. Fang Xiaoyu said: "Let's go, you don't need to be grateful to me, I did this for your mother, but you should tell me who your benefactor is, right?" Qiu Zhihong shook his head and said, "I don't know who the benefactor is, he never told me his name." Fang Xiaoyu nodded, he was also expected by this result, if he knew who the other party was, it was estimated that he would have been killed.

Fang Xiaoyu turned around and asked Huadongxing: "Did you bring any money?" Hua Dongxing said: "Recently, I have been using money to manage the villa, and I have some with me, about 5,000 yuan." Fang Xiaoyu said: "Give it all to me." Hua Dongxing took his money bag and handed it over. Fang Xiaoyu took the money bag, stretched out his hand and sent it to Qiu Zhihong: "You can use this money to support your mother." She pulled you so much, but you failed to let her live a good life, this is unfilial, if your mother asks you to say that I sent you on a business trip outside, saving the old man's heart. ”

"Young master, I'm afraid this is not good. If you deal with the spies, you should be executed, and if you let them go like this, it will chill everyone. Sun Huaizong said anxiously on the side. Fang Xiaoyu said: "I also know this, but Qiu Zhihong was forced to be helpless, which is understandable, not to mention that he has a poor old mother." Fang Xiaoyu turned his head again and said, "Take this money, take your mother away in the future, and find a place to be incognito, so as not to be killed." ”

Qiu Zhihong took the money bag with trembling hands: "Young master, this." I have done this to you, and you have still treated me so well. Fang Xiaoyu said: "I know that you are for righteousness and kindness." But I hope you will know in the future how to choose between morality and justice. ”

Qiu Zhihong knelt down, kowtowed to Fang Xiaoyu three times and said, "I owe the young master too much, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely return it to the young master, even if I use my life." After speaking, Qiu Zhihong gritted his teeth, stood up and left without looking back. Fang Xiaoyu didn't know what kind of help Qiu Zhihong would bring to him in the future.

Hua Dongxing asked: "It doesn't matter if this person is released, but the secret recipe of this orchid candy can't be recovered, what should I do?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "Don't be in a hurry to act first, I will have my own way to deal with it when someone shows my feet, but this trip to the Western Continent will be delayed for a month or two." ”

After waiting for five days, there was no movement from the person who stole the orchid sugar process, Fang Xiaoyu was not in a hurry, but he and his eldest brother Fang Dingguo started to build the road, what Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that the roadbed under the original gravel road was very solid, and there was basically no need to re-tamp it. It turns out that the gravel road is often trampled on, the gravel is stepped into the ground, and then the gravel is sprinkled on the top and then trampled, after hundreds of years of changes, the roadbed has been quite solid, in addition to the rainy day is still muddy, and the road surface is not very smooth, the hardness is not much different from the cement, only need to slightly excavate and pave the foundation.

Fang Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he saw this situation, and asked Fang Dingguo to lead people to mix cement with sand and stones to pave the road directly. The wealthy businessmen in the capital had a very keen sense of smell, and when they saw Fang Xiaoyu repairing the road, they immediately sent someone over to check, and found that Fang Xiaoyu and their paving of the road was very strange, as if they were plastering the road with mud. After listening to the return, the wealthy businessmen felt that this was definitely a new commodity, and they asked what kind of new product it was.

Fang Xiaoyu originally said that he wanted to provide three commodities for the family, so that the family could earn tens of millions of dollars a year. As a result, Fang Xiaoyu provided orchid sugar, thyme wine, and the latest perfume on the market, if you add the glass made by the Xia family, it is already four commodities, that is, remove the glass produced by the Xia family, and the other three commodities have already made the Fang family's annual income tens of millions.

Starting from cement, Fang Xiaoyu planned to sell it by himself, but Fang Xiaoyu did not have a sales network, nor did he have talents in this area, so he could only rely on his own fame to attract merchants to buy for the time being. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu pretended to secretly build the road by himself this time and let the family come to investigate, and now it has aroused everyone's curiosity, and Fang Xiaoyu revealed his intention to sell the goods by the villa himself this time.

As soon as the wealthy merchants in the capital heard the news, they were like seeing a fishy cat, and immediately gathered at Lanting Villa. For a long time, they have seen that the Fang family's goods have been making money like flowing water since they had the exclusive monopoly rights of Fang Xiaoyu's goods, and they have long been red-eyed, and this time they are all looking forward to obtaining the exclusive monopoly rights, and they will also make a fortune.

However, they were a little disappointed when they came, because Fang Xiaoyu didn't see them at all, but asked Sun Huaizong, the head of the villa, to tell them that this commodity is called cement, which is used for construction, and it is very fast and convenient to pave roads and build houses, and it is extremely strong, and then Sun Huaizong took them to the road repair site to have a look.

When those rich merchants saw the smooth cement pavement, not only were they surprised, Sun Huaizong even asked people to use a hammer to smash the pavement, but the cement pavement did not have the slightest scar, which surprised the rich merchants, and the businessmen with a keen sense of smell felt that this was definitely another big selling commodity, and everyone wanted to know its price. Sun Huaizong told them that a ton of cement would only cost 1,000 yuan, but because production had just started and the villa itself had to build roads, there was not much left, and only 200 tons were sold every month.

A wealthy merchant immediately raised the price to 1,500 yuan a ton, and the other wealthy merchants immediately responded, and everyone vied with each other to increase the price, until the last merchant named Xia Houlai raised the price to 8,000 yuan a ton, and no one bid again. Only then did Sun Huaizong find out that even the merchants of the royal family had joined the bidding, and as a result, 200 tons of cement per month were sold at a price of 1.6 million, which surprised Fang Xiaoyu. However, he also promised that if there is more cement for sale in the future, he will be given priority, and if the cement production is high in the future, others can buy it, and the supply price can be lowered to the current price, which makes Xiahoulai very satisfied.

Things were on the right track, and Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to release any new products for the time being, so he suddenly became idle. Half a month has passed, and Fang Xiaoyu has spent most of this half a month shopping and chatting with the Xia family sisters, and the biggest thing is that the rice planted in Lanting Villa has begun to be harvested.

The Xia sisters also went to the villa to watch the rice harvest, but the result surprised the two sisters. There are many places where rice is planted in the Lanfang Empire, and the rice planted in the places with the best water and soil is only one hundred and fifty kilograms per mu, and I didn't expect that Fang Xiaoyu's Lanting Villa is only a middle-to-low land, and the yield per mu is as high as five hundred kilograms, which surprised the Xia family sisters.

Also surprised was Fang Dingguo, who came to see the excitement, and Fang Dingguo, who was hot-eyed, pulled Fang Xiaoyu's sleeve and said, "I said junior brother, this is the agricultural experiment you are talking about?" Is that amazing? Can you give the eldest brother a ton of grain that has been beaten down? Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled: "What do you want these rice for?" Although these rice yields more, the taste is the same as that of ordinary rice. ”

Fang Dingguo glared at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Do you think the eldest brother is a foodie?" Even foodies can't just eat rice, I want to use these rice as seeds, plant them all in my farms, and when the second harvest comes, I can also raise my eyebrows at home. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "If you really plant, I guarantee that you will be beaten to death by the uncle." Fang Dingguo was puzzled: "If you collect more food, you will be beaten, won't you." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, you won't be beaten if you harvest more grain, but although these rice have a high yield, there is a problem, that is, you can't make seeds, if you plant them all, you will not be able to harvest a single grain." Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo gasped, if it was really as Fang Xiaoyu said, I was afraid that he would be in big trouble.

Xia Tingyun, who was listening from the sidelines, asked, "So if you are planting such food, where can you find seeds?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "I can only re-cultivate, but it is very easy to re-cultivate with the experience of the last time." After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Fang Dingguo and said, "Big brother, I'll give you a ton of seeds, and I'll go to my granary to get it." Fang Xiaoyu's words were not alarmist, but Xiaofeng told him that the seeds cultivated by the chip are all genetically locked, and they cannot be used again unless they are activated with the chip again.

At this moment, Sun Huaizong ran over and said, "Young Master, Lan Fangtang has news." "Oh? Got news? Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Who is selling Lan Aromatic Sugar?" Sun Huaizong said: "It is a few businessmen from Jiaozhi County, according to Zhao Quan, they may have something to do with the Cheng family." Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, "Cheng family?" It turns out that they really made a move, you go and ask Hua Dongxing, Tobul and Zhao Quan to come and see me. Sun Huaizong nodded and went to pass the word.
