Chapter 379: Opportunity
"Is there another person from Wu Chenghou who jumped out to promote him?"
"Well, it's quite a bit of it."
"Anyway, my father won't use him, I guess the candidate will probably be chosen between the Marquis of Suyuan and the Duke of Dingguo.
If General Liu's body is fully recovered, it is estimated that he will still have to return to Ganzhou to garrison.
The prince of Xirong is about to enter Beijing, and the Xirong Kingdom will definitely not dare to go to war with Daxing for a long time. ”
Ability but not guarantee loyalty and ability mediocre but absolutely loyal, she thinks the emperor will definitely choose the latter.
Ye Hanyu nodded, "I also think it's about the same, Marquis Suyuan, like Duke Dingguo, is both capable and loyal to his father, and there is no one more secure than them." I just don't know who my father will choose in the end. ”
The two of them had already walked back to the main courtyard while talking, Gu Wanning suddenly curled her lips and smiled: "You say, the two of us, one just wants to be an idle prince, and the other just wants to live a leisurely life, what kind of idle mind is this?" ”
Ye Hanyu: ...... Oh, why do you think so much, let's wash and sleep.
……
Xu Boqing stayed in the county king's mansion for another two days, during which Qingzhu personally checked his pulse and adjusted the prescription, and after making sure that all the poison on his body was cleaned up, he quietly returned to Zhuangzi under the escort of the guards of the county king's mansion.
The day of the release of the list is still early, Gu Wanning is not idle for a moment, and within two days, the two of them went to Zhuangzi again, planting so many peanuts naturally could not be put like that, the two concubines got together and recruited a lot of craftsmen to improve the oil extraction machine a little, and changed it to a machine suitable for pressing peanut oil.
The five princesses' Zhuangzi soon had an oil extraction workshop, and the peanuts of more than 2,000 acres of land had all been dried, with an average yield of about 650 catties per mu, and the peanuts alone had collected more than 1.5 million catties, which took up too much space, so the peanuts began to be oiled as soon as they dried.
At this time, most of the people ate lard, why?
Because lard is cheaper.
Pork is 35 to 40 wen a catty, but the lard that can be boiled is more expensive than one or two cents, and then boiled into oil, which is about fifty or sixty wen a catty, and you can also get some oil residue, and it is okay to stir-fry vegetables and make stuffing, and it is not wasted.
In addition to lard, there is also sesame oil.
That's right, the earliest edible oil in ancient times was not rapeseed oil and vegetable oil, but sesame oil, which is now sesame oil.
At this time, sesame seeds are rarely planted in a large area in the north, and sesame seeds are mostly produced in the south, and because the oil extraction process is rough, the oil yield is not high, so that the price of sesame oil is much more expensive than lard, roughly more than 70 wen a catty, and sometimes it may be higher.
At this time, no one used peanuts to extract oil to sell.
Gu Wanning believes that as long as this batch of oil is listed, it will definitely be sold out.
Because lard and sesame oil have certain limitations, lard is easy to condense in winter, and the taste of sesame oil is too strong and easy to overshadow the taste of the dish itself, unlike peanut oil, which is bright in color and has no obvious taste, it is definitely the first choice for stir-frying.
As for the price, it is tentatively set at 70 wen a catty.
The five princesses themselves have a lot of shops, just take out one can be used to sell oil, Zhuangzi is playing oil here, out of two or three hundred catties to sell in the shop, at first no one noticed the so-called peanut oil, but, when the five princesses asked the chef in the house to fry two dishes in front of the store, the shop was full of people.
Novelty things are always something that someone wants to try, especially the chef's craftsmanship is good, the vegetable oil made is shiny, it looks beautiful, and passers-by taste it, and after a while, the more than 200 catties of oil were bought.
When the shopkeeper came in a hurry, the oil was gone.
"What about your shopkeepers? I want to talk to him about business. ”
The man introduced people into the store, and the two shopkeepers sat down, and the two sides had a friendly negotiation.
"We want more, a thousand catties, can you get a discount?"
The shopkeeper of the oil mill shook his head directly: "It is 10,000 catties, and it is also this price, we have been trying to sell it for three days, and after these three days, people who have eaten it will know the benefits of our oil, and then the price will have to rise." ”
The shopkeeper who came like a cloud of customers had a liver ache, and he had never seen such a business, and he couldn't buy more cheaply, and he kept saying that he wanted to increase the price.
But he can't help but buy it, the Zhao family is not what it used to be.
The reason why the Zhao family was named an imperial merchant was because the Zhao family donated a large amount of silver taels many times when the Daxing treasury was short of funds.
But recently, I don't know who is dealing with the Zhao family, not to mention stealing the funds accumulated by the Zhao family for generations, and the Zhao family's business has also been affected.
Jinxiufang barely made up and opened, the business is only less than half of the original, this situation is still continuing, there is no sign of improvement, plus the rise of the new year of the Shiding hot pot restaurant, the business of customers is only eighty percent of the previous years.
The grain store is still doing good business, but because of the war this year, the price of grain has risen a little, and the grain that the Zhao family had accumulated before was sold at a good price.
The Zhao family is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and now, the five princesses have launched this fresh peanut oil in the store, this oil he asked the guy to buy a catty, tried it in the store, and the result of the fried dishes is stronger than the original taste, he hurriedly ran to buy oil, he felt that this was an opportunity for him, for the guest to come to the clouds, a great opportunity for the guests to restore the past grand occasion, this opportunity he must seize, the best is to get the five princesses to grow up and cooperate for a long time, but, I didn't expect it, The oil has been sold out, and the attitude of the shopkeeper is quite tough, and the oil price is not a lot.
Thinking of the business, thinking of the owner's entrustment, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "Okay, then at this price, I will book a thousand catties first, and I will send it to the store tomorrow, and we will pay the silver with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”
The face of the shopkeeper of the oil shop was embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Zhao, it's not that I don't want to earn your money, but we will also have two or three hundred catties of oil this day, and the owner also specially instructed us not to accept reservations for these three days, in order to let as many people as possible taste this peanut oil, don't say that you want this thousand catties We don't have it, even two or three hundred catties I can't just sell it to you!" ”
The shopkeeper is angry and wants to slap the table, he has never seen anyone who does not do business!
But after being angry for a while, he came back to his senses, "You tell me the real price, how much will your oil sell for a pound in three days?" ”
"Who can say that? The owner didn't say anything accurately, only said that the price would definitely increase, but no one knew how much it would rise! ”
In the end, the shopkeeper Zhao could only be aggrieved and ordered a thousand catties of oil at a price of 100 yuan, oh, the peanut oil will be delivered tomorrow, not that the shopkeeper Zhao is stupid, but that the five princesses have made a purchase limit, and each person can only buy a maximum of two catties of oil each time.
Two pounds of oil can do a fart!
He can only give more money to buy more oil, not only that, but when this thousand catties are used up, he estimates that he will have to suffer this grievance......
