Although Xiao Qi said this, he himself knew that he couldn't, these things could be regarded as a dish at most, and it was indeed difficult to make a big difference. But he knew that Lan Yi had always been ingenious, and he should have a plan, so he asked directly: "Sister-in-law Wang, tell me, this thing must have benefits that we can't think of, right?" ”

Lan Yi nodded: "My Dazhou has a vast area, and there are a lot of fruits produced, I don't know what Xiao Qi knows?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, snapped his fingers and said: "It is indeed a lot, we belong to Beizhou, but there are also a lot of local fruits. In the middle of the summer, the moon is recommended to melon, and the season is to be Lingling; In autumn, Mengyue uses jujube and pear; Dong Mengyue is recommended to chestnut. In addition, there are grapes, apricots, plums, pomegranates, persimmons, oh, and the red fruits sold by Wang's sister-in-law last year. If you talk about the south, it is lychee, longan, olive, orange, orange, pomelo, etc. ”

Xiao Qi is really a foodie, and he said so many kinds of fruits in one mouth, Lan Yi then asked: "Xiao Qi is really well-informed, I don't know how long these fruits can be kept without rotting if they are not dried?" ”

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and the shopkeeper Xia continued: "Most of them are only half a moon, and pomegranates, red fruits, oranges, and oranges are still longer." ”

"Yes." Lan Yi stood up and took out another half bowl of sugar and fruit pulp, "Fresh fruits are hard to keep, so the price is low when the fruits are ripe, but after these days, it will be difficult to find." Although this sugar fruit pulp is not uncommon now, it also preserves the taste of fresh fruit, isn't it? ”

Xia Chongxiao nodded: "Although it is sweeter, the taste of peaches and apricots is indeed still there, and the color is bright and objective." Lan Mei, do you mean that if you put it in sugar water like this, the fresh fruit can be stored for many days? ”

"Yes, if it is stored properly, it will be stored for a year, at least within half a year." Lan Yi is not a lie, the current canned fruit often has a shelf life of two or three years, and the canned food she makes does not add preservatives, and it can still be preserved for half a year. She had heard of this can before, and this was the first time she had made it herself, and it had only been made after several experiments since the spring, so she took it out and planned to make a fortune.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and half a year is not short. Imagine when there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables in winter, such sugar, fruit and meat are worth the money.

Xiao Qi's eyes smiled like copper coins, and when he looked at Sister-in-law Wang, he felt more and more pleasing to the eye, just like the God of Wealth in the temple.

"Sister-in-law Wang, we did this deal! If they don't do it, let's do it ourselves! ”

Xia Chongxiao glanced at Xiao Qi, snorted and said, "Xiao Qi, you crossed the river and demolished the bridge too quickly!" ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "Isn't the little one short of money?" ”

Xia Shun asked directly: "Sister-in-law Wang, how do you think this business will be done?" ”

Everyone also looked at Lan Yi when they heard this. Lan Yi smiled: "Xiao Qi, if you do business with us, what are you going to do?" ”

When Xiao Qi heard this, his face became stern: "Don't hide it from Sister-in-law Wang, although I am a member of the Cheng family, there are many inconveniences, even if this business is done, it can only be done secretly, and on the surface, it has to play the signboard of Brother Xia." With some capital, you can still do it by running errands, but I don't know if this will work? ”

This time he didn't call himself "small", Lan Yi heard a little helplessness and urgency from his tone, she didn't know if this kind of approach was appropriate or not, so she turned her head to consult Xia Chongxiao's opinion.

Xia Chongxiao nodded: "That's it, this business is mine, but in private, it's the three of you." Xiao Qi came up with the capital, Lan Mei came up with ideas, I went out of the place, and the manpower was arranged by Xia Shun. ”

Xiao Qi was excited when he heard this, and he arched his hand: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, Brother Xia, Xiao Qi has written it down." ”

Lan Yi didn't object, she continued: "It's okay, let's just decide." As for the sharing, let's do it this way, the shopkeeper Xia will manage it, so Sister Wan accounts for 20%, and Xiao Qi and I each account for 40%. What does Xiao Qi think? ”

Everyone nodded in response, and Xiao Qi said, "Sister-in-law Wang, what should we call this food?" ”

Lan Yi smiled: "I'll leave it to you." Second brother, you take the pen and paper, let's use a total of how many things, this looks like the peach is almost ripe, and the peach meat is processed and tastes better, we can't miss this time. ”

Wang Linxi took a pen and paper, Lan Yi first informed a few people of this practice, and then everyone deliberated on the required venue, the number of partners, etc., and quickly made a plan. Just as he was about to further finalize the matter in detail, Steward Zhang knocked lightly on the door of the hall house and came in and said, "Young master, there is a small servant at the door who came to look for the seventh master, saying that there is an urgent matter. ”

Xiao Qi's face was grim, and he said directly: "Let him in." ”

After a while, a white little guy ran in, and when he saw Xiao Qi wiping his sweat, he said, "Young master, it's not good, the eldest young master is looking for you everywhere, we have to go back quickly." ”

When Xiao Qi heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed his hand to everyone: "The little one is back first, Brother Xia, Sister-in-law Wang, Shopkeeper Xia, Brother Lin Xi, Xiao Qi will take out the things tomorrow, and the follow-up will be more troublesome for you." ”

After Xiao Qi hurriedly left, Lan Yi wanted to ask Xia Chongxiao why Xiao Qi was so afraid of his eldest brother, but seeing that he frowned and was silent, he didn't speak, but continued: "Shopkeeper Xia, what is the cost of oil extraction in our oil mill now?" ”

Xia Shun said directly: "Every 100 catties is about 150 catties, and 100 catties can produce 30 catties of oil, according to one tael of silver per catty, this 150 wen is really nothing, but it also needs to remove the shipping costs, workers' wages, etc., but there is not much silver." ”

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw a thick smile, and they were getting bigger this time.

Xia Chongxiao closed the paper fan, tapped his palm and said: "The peony seeds are ripe next month, we can collect about 100,000 catties, this is really a big deal, Sister Lan, the eldest brother is wiped out with you this time." ”

Lan Yi said with a smile: "I and the shopkeeper Xia are just a little troublesome, if it weren't for the eldest brother's people and horses, as well as the connections everywhere, where can we spread the stall so big, the little sister is following the eldest brother to get wiped out." ”

Everyone likes to listen to good words, Xia Chongxiao is no exception, after hearing Lan Yi say this, the smile became stronger: "That is, this year, I am afraid that there will be fewer peony seeds that we can harvest next year, and the price of peony seeds will definitely increase several times, but the price of peony seed oil will not fall in two or three years." After three years, there are more people planting peonies, and the oil will naturally increase, and it will be difficult to have this price at that time. ”

Xia Shun also thought of this: "The more than 20 acres we planted can only grow a few thousand catties of peony seeds every year, do you want to plant more?" ”

When Wang Linxi heard that there were more varieties, he shook his head: "Shopkeeper Xia, there are more peonies, and the fertilizer guys have to increase, so it is not suitable to calculate." Besides, we don't have a suitable place in Beigou Village, if we go elsewhere to plant, I'm afraid we will have to find a florist. ”

Lan Yi also nodded: "In addition to our own peonies, Beigou Village will plant more than fifty acres this year, which is not less." Let's hold a few large peony gardens and flower farmers, and we can also be regarded as having a stable supply. The supply of goods is stable, the sales must be guaranteed, and several large restaurants around the country must be taken down. ”

Xia Shun nodded when he heard this, this point was very important, and Xia Chongxiao asked directly: "Sister Lan, don't you want Xu Yili?" ”

Lan Yi nodded: "Most of the people we are cooperating with now are old businesses from all over the world, and their scale and reputation are good." The price of our peony seed oil will no longer rise this year, that is, one or two silver and a pound will be sold to them, or a limited supply, and if someone wants to buy the extra oil, we will increase the money. In this way, we have built a good relationship, and it is good to talk about the sales of peony seed oil in the future, our price will not be higher than the market price, but the quality and quantity, they should not take the goods from others. ”

Xia Shun said: "Even if we sell all our oil to these old merchants, it is not enough, and others will buy it in our hands." ”

"You can't sell them all at once, how to sell them all at once, how much is left in our hands, and we have to ask the eldest brother to get an idea."

Xia Chongxiao nodded, he thought about it more long-term: "Sister Lan, this method is good. Let's cooperate with these old firms, and with their momentum, we can save a lot of trouble. For the sake of safety, we don't go to send oil, let them pick it up, those who have moved their minds, see our oil mill in and out of these old businesses, they can't afford to provoke, so they don't dare to move. ”

Xia Shun then asked: "It is not appropriate to store all the oil in the oil mill, our oil mill has few people, it is better to find a stable place in the city and store most of the peony seeds and oil there." ”

That's a good idea, too. Xia Chongxiao said: "The third room of the Xia family has lost some money recently, and there are three adjacent stores that want to sell. Lin Xi, this matter is left to you, you have to be more appropriate. ”

Lin Xi nodded, and when Lan Yi heard this, he continued to ask: "Big brother, these three shops have been bought, how much silver do you need?" ”

"It's about three hundred taels, but if I maneuver around it, two hundred taels can be done. These three shops are facing the Qingshui River, and they are a good place to do business, and it is most suitable to do some business. ”

Lan Yi clapped: "Then buy them all, we still have use." Peony seed oil can only make money for one or two years, and our Qingshan Oil Mill will continue to develop, and it must be good to have more things. This year, our reputation is out, and it is better to do a lot of new things. ”

"Sister-in-law is talking about sesame oil?" Lin Xi asked, in addition to rapeseed, that is, sesame seeds, although sesame oil is more expensive, it is not a big deal.

Lan Yi smiled: "Not only sesame oil, peony seeds, rapeseeds, sesame seeds and other things can be squeezed for oil, then there must be others, such as soybeans, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts and other seeds should also be available, let's try it first these days to see how the squeezed oil tastes, if it is feasible, we will take the opportunity to promote it, peony seed oil is sold in limited quantities, but the new oil in our store pù is in sufficient supply, and there must be many people who want to try it." We want to make Qingshan Oil Mill a century-old brand, with no bullying and fair prices, so that even if there are other companies in the future, our oil will not be sold. ”

The eyes of the three widened when they heard this: yes! Why didn't we think of it!

Then a few people had a heated discussion, and in the past few days, they tried to find some fruits to extract oil to try the taste, and if they could, they began to collect seeds and wild fruits to extract oil.

Xia Shun saw that everyone had set this matter, so he continued: "Young master, sister-in-law Wang, it will take more than half a year to squeeze out 100,000 catties of peony seeds. ”

Lan Yi said: "Shopkeeper Xia, you send someone to investigate, whether it is appropriate to expand the oil mill, or to buy the nearby oil mill, how much silver is needed, how much income can be brought, calculate it clearly, write it out in detail, and then we will discuss." Big brother, this time our oil mill has made money, and people with discerning eyes are looking at it, I am afraid that there will be those who make trouble and come to make trouble, and the government and the local government will have to bother the eldest brother to take care of it, and how much money will be spent to withdraw it from the shopkeeper Xia. There should still be some money left over from the deposit and oil money we collected a few days ago. ”

Xia Shun nodded, there are indeed quite a few.

Xia Chongxiao waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you need to take the money on the account." ”

Lan Yi insisted: "Big brother, what we are doing is a long-term business, not a matter of one or two times. This human relationship is necessary, how much money do we need to take the account, and it is not easy to talk in the future, my brother is clear about the account, and we can't have a suspicion because of this. ”

"Lan Mei, how did you come up with this?" The more Xia Chongxiao came into contact with Lan Yi, the more she felt that she was mysterious, how could she, a little woman in the house, know these things.

Lan Yi smiled: "Big brother, you also know that I am a nerd, I only know how to hold books every day, read some words from predecessors, and learn some lessons from them." Don't you know that reading 10,000 books is better than traveling a thousand miles, and if it weren't for the hard work of everyone to implement these ideas, my little woman would be just talking on paper. ”R1152
