Chapter 121: The First Spring Festival After the Crossing
Cao Fu.
Cao Ze, Li Shimin, and the Cheng family's father and son sat around the table, eating hot pot deliciously.
"Those stupid forks of the Cui family, this is estimated to be Le's snot bubbles coming out, right?" Cheng Yanjin teased: "This time, they have waited." ”
"With that said, these merchants will definitely appear again." Cao Ze smiled and said: "The Cui family willingly contributed to help us refine snow salt, what a good person!" ”
"Lao Li, I have to say something to you." Cao Ze turned his head to look at Li Shimin: "Isn't the Cui family as bad as you say?" You see, people are willing to pay to tie us up for the benefit of the people of Datang, what a high level of consciousness this is! ”
The Cui family spent a total of 4,000 yuan to buy salt this time.
Although it is a bit of a mosquito leg for Cao Ze's current needs, who is afraid of the money given for nothing?
The most important thing is to make Cui's family a pit, which is really pleasant!
"What the immortal master said is extremely true." Li Shimin smiled slightly.
After they found a place to start making salt, Li Shimin also calculated the cost.
As a result, the cost is outrageously low!
Aside from labor costs, there is hardly any consumption!
On average, the cost of a pound of salt is only a few pennies!
If the scale of production is expanded in the future, this cost can be even lower!
It's like the money you picked up for nothing!!
As for the shipping costs?
Cao Ze snapped his fingers and got it done, there is a gross freight?
Save money and stay unnoticed!
It's simply invincible!
In the next time, Li Shimin continued to order those people to work overtime to refine salt, preparing to stock up on it fiercely.
Now the salt shop is still sold in limited quantities every day, and there are only three or two catties scattered every day.
Later, when people saw that there was too little salt, they were not as enthusiastic as before.
The previous lively salt rush has subsided.
Cui's compound.
The head of the Cui family is in a good mood now!
After the last transaction, they left a little for their own use, and all the other snow salt was put on the market.
The price is as high as three pounds!
Not to mention, this is not to worry about selling.
There is no shortage of rich people in Chang'an City.
The reason why I bought 500 wen a pound of green salt before was that there was no better snow salt.
After all, salt is not used as a meal, and it is impossible to eat a pound of a meal......
Besides, they don't blink an eye when they eat a dozen or so meals over there in the Drunken Immortal Residence, not to mention three pounds of salt.
Now that I've eaten snow salt, I can't swallow the green salt that I thought was pretty good!
Of course, there are many people who secretly scold the family for not being a thing.
Profiteer!!!
You sell three times for 500 wen a catty, it's just a money grab!
As a result, a situation has been formed, scolding and scolding, whether to pay or honestly pay for it.
The only thing that is not so good is that Qingyan's position is a little embarrassing.
The rich don't bother to buy it, and the poor can't afford it......
Even so, the Maison still has no intention of reducing prices.
Not only green salt, but also low-quality coarse salt.
The people complained again, but unfortunately there was no use.
In the end, I can only afford to buy high-priced salt, and those who can't afford it grit their teeth and continue to gnaw on the salt cloth......
……
Seeing that it is only ten days before the Chinese New Year, the Cao Mansion is also busy.
Jarvis and his subordinates are buying New Year's goods and decorating, so it's not lively.
Cao Ze hid in an empty room alone and was busy.
If you don't fire guns during the New Year, it will be almost meaningless.
Cao Ze tossed for several days, and finally got the weakened version of the gunpowder out.
In fact, he didn't understand it very well, it was nothing more than putting less gunpowder and more sand soil or something......
Fortunately, this product is quite careful, and there are no accidents in the whole process.
The method is out, and the rest will be left to those Jin Wuwei.
Anyway, the gunpowder is ready-made, and I am not afraid that they will learn how to mix it.
Time flickered, and the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
On this day, Caofu was exceptionally quiet.
Cheng Chumo must have been busy at home at this time, Qin Huaiyu and those Jin Wuwei were also on vacation by him two days ago.
Before leaving, one person also sent a red envelope, and these Jin Wuwei were grateful to Dade again.
The huge Cao Mansion is now left with Cao Ze and six subordinates.
Jarvis and the others will be busy in the kitchen, and Cao Ze is sitting alone in the study in a daze.
It's been three months since I crossed over.
To be honest, he hasn't fully accepted this reality until now.
was an ordinary social animal, but he came to the Tang Dynasty for more than a thousand years in a daze, and he became a transcendent existence.
It always felt like it was all too fake, like a dream......
"Bang bang bang." There was a knock on the door.
"Lao Jia, you eat first." Cao Ze said listlessly: "I'll eat it later." ”
"Immortal Master, it's me." A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Squeak——!
After opening the door, Cao Ze was stunned: "Princess? Come, said the house. ”
"Immortal Master, our family is here to invite the Immortal Master into the palace by holy order." After entering the house, Wang An got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty has good intentions, and Cao has a heart." Cao Ze said with interest: "But this is the New Year, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to go." ”
"Since the immortal master is unwilling, our family doesn't dare to force it." The prince bowed his hand politely: "Since this is the case, then our family will leave first." ”
"Okay, I'll send my father-in-law." Cao Ze politely sent Wang An to the gate.
"Oops!" As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang An suddenly patted his head.
"Father-in-law?" Cao Ze wondered.
"It's over, it's over!" Wang An said anxiously: "I've been so busy in the past two days, my family's brain can't turn around." This princess Pingyang should have arrived, and our family forgot to arrange this. ”
"Immortal Master, we have to go back first!" Wang An arched his hand again, and was about to walk out in a hurry.
Hearing the words Princess Pingyang, Cao Ze's ears suddenly became prickly!
That's right!
Although the relationship between this girl and her father is a little not harmonious, she is not married yet, and she must be going home for the New Year at this time!
"Father-in-law, I'm not busy." Cao Ze smiled and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't go, right?" It just so happens that I have dumplings at home, and I will bring them to our majesty to try them later. ”
"Alright, don't pretend to me." Seeing that Wang An still had a sad face, Cao Ze decisively debunked him: "Wait a while for the dumplings to come out of the pot, let's set off." ”
can be mixed into Li Shimin's personal eunuch, that is definitely not an ordinary shrewd lord.
Can you forget this kind of thing?
What about the crooks?
But this real thing belongs to Zhou Yu to fight Huang Gai.
Cao Ze is beautiful in his heart!
By the time they arrived at the palace, it was already about seven o'clock in the evening.
"Immortal Master, please, please." Li Shimin greeted warmly: "Didn't I wonder if the immortal master has no relatives in this Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that the immortal master will be bored and panicked alone, so it's better to enter the palace to be lively." ”
"Your Majesty, Mother."
Because Li Shimin's large group of children were also there, Cao Ze gave Li Shimin face very well.
"Teacher." The second person to greet was Li Tai, a student.
"The blue finch has been getting a little dark lately." Cao Ze was amused: "How are you doing?" ”
"It's good to stay in the Ministry of Works." Li Tai hurriedly replied: "I feel that my life has suddenly become a lot richer and more meaningful." ”
Next, Cao Ze greeted Li Chengqian, Li Lizhen and others one by one, and finally it was Li Xiuning's turn.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, long time no see." Cao Ze smiled and said.
