Chapter 158: Nourish and nourish the skin
Li Yinguang picked up the brown sugar cube on the drying board, first looked at its color, and then put it in his mouth to taste the taste, and after making sure that there was no mistake, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
"Good!"
He looked up at Song Changsheng and asked, "How much brown sugar like this can be boiled and dried every day?" ”
Song Changsheng scratched his head, embarrassed on the spot, but it was Mu Yunying who was standing next to him who answered, and said Sali: "If the various supporting processes don't drop the chain, you can get thousands of catties of this 'brown sugar cube' a day." ”
"Thousands of pounds?"
Li Yinguang muttered this number in his mouth, and analyzed the sugar content of 'sweet grass vine' in his mind, the number of people in the field camp has exceeded more than five hundred, so many people, and with machinery and equipment, the excavation work should progress quickly, and with cleaning, grinding, juicing, boiling and other processes, you can get thousands of catties of brown sugar every day?
This number, to be honest, Li Yinguang is not very satisfied!
"How many sweet grass vines can be excavated every day?" Li Yinguang looked up at her and asked.
Mu Yunying hesitated and said: "Today, hundreds of people participated in the excavation, and probably excavated tens of thousands of catties of 'sweet grass vine' rhizomes. ”
The harvest is not very low, and perhaps more losses are occurring elsewhere.
"You, in the future, will be the general person in charge of the 'Camp Sugar Factory', Song Changsheng is responsible for the guards, as well as the field excavation work, and you are responsible for leading people to boil sugar. In addition to the amount of sugar, it is also necessary to ensure that the boiled 'brown sugar cubes' are clean enough, and there are no impurities as much as possible, especially in the final boiling sugar and Tang link, try to use trustworthy people, understand? ”
Li Yinguang looked at the other party and said word by word.
Mu Yunying nodded: "Understood!" No one will put poison into it, make sure that nothing goes wrong, and the prepared sugar will let the workers eat it first! ”
Li Yinguang suddenly smiled, he was a smart person with a clear heart, with a big grin on the outside, but delicate enough in his bones.
"Good job!"
Before leaving, he patted the other person on the shoulder.
In addition to the temporary escort team, Li Yinguang will ask Saipan to send someone to take over to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Turning the 'Sweet Grass Vine' into a 'Brown Sugar Cube' is a strategic step forward for the Castle Ironclad City, at least from now on, the wilderness coolie camp is no longer a place to accompany money.
"Brother, the sugar is boiled, why are you acting sullen?"
On the way back, Xiao Man leaned into Li Yinguang's arms and tilted his head to ask puzzled.
Li Yinguang smiled bitterly, raised his hand and scraped her little nose: "Boiling sugar is only the first step, let's use sweet grass vines to boil sugar, but we must sell the sugar to be considered successful, otherwise it will always be sugar and cannot be turned into money." ”
Xiao Man blinked: "So you're worried, how can we sell the sugar?" ”
Li Yinguang nodded: "Yes, if it is produced, it will be sold and turned into money." ”
"Can't you take it to the market and sell it?" Xiao Man tilted his head and thought.
Li Yinguang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's too low-end, for us, 'brown sugar cubes' are a good commodity, and good commodities must be matched with good prices." You can sell it at the market, but you won't be able to sell it for too much! ”
A piece of red cube sugar boiled from sweet grass vines may only be sold for ten copper cow coins in the market, and a pound may not be sold for half a silver cow coin, obviously this low-end sales channel is not what Li Yinguang wants.
What he needs is 'commodities', not foreign dumping, or even small profits. How many people are there in Mamba Town in Mambach? How many copies can you sell if you dump brown sugar cubes!
Back in Tiejia City, Li Yinguang thought hard all night, and finally decided to take the 'high-end route'.
"Why did you let me drink this?"
Irma looked at Li Yinguang puzzled, her lower abdomen was already bulging very high, and she was no stranger to Irma, the origin of red sugar.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Supplement, a glass of brown sugar water every day can replenish various minerals that you lack in your body, and you can also replenish blood and nourish qi, which has many benefits." ”
What kind of people is 'Brown Sugar Water' suitable for?
There is no doubt that women, especially those with imminent menstruation, followed by the elderly, children, brown sugar water can be sold as a 'tonic'. It is also suitable for stewing soups and boiling water, which is more beneficial anyway.
Irma muttered, "I think you're weird this morning!" ”
Li Yinguang didn't hear it, and after breakfast, he called Sophia and Lan Ling, and led a few guards to the town of Mambach.
No. 18 Zhongbao Street, Kasbah shop.
Li Yinguang's arrival was a bit unexpected by the clerks.
"Boss, why do you have time to come to the store today?"
"We haven't had anyone in the store all day, we're almost bored to death, when will the business be as hot as when it first opened!"
Listening to the clerks complaining, Li Yinguang smiled and said, "It's not good to let you be idle?" It's all cheap bones, go, find a few containers, not too small, not too ugly. ”
After a pause, he instructed the clerk to go outside the door, set up tables, chairs and benches, and made a few delicate small coal stoves and placed them outside.
The clerk looked at Li Yinguang puzzled, and asked curiously, "Boss, what are we going to do here?" ”
"Boil water!"
Li Yinguang said with a smile, to be precise, it is to boil brown sugar water and give it to passers-by for free to taste.
"This is a good thing, nourishing brown sugar, especially for you girls, drinking it often can replenish blood, improve your physique, and make your complexion better and more beautiful."
First of all, several female clerks in the castle store have become loyal users of 'nourishing brown sugar', and their own people do not recognize the effect of 'nourishing brown sugar', who will recognize others.
"What is this?"
"Nourishing sugar water, taste it for free!"
"Don't you take money? Then I'll have a drink! ”
"Tastes good? This kind of nourishing brown sugar is blended from the ancient recipe purchased in our store, and each piece has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin, which is a rare tonic for women! ”
"And the price is not expensive, a pound of 'nourishing brown sugar' is only nine silver cow coins, and you can drink it for a long time!"
A pound of red sugar cubes can be weighed about twenty-five or six pieces, and each piece of red cube sugar weighs about twenty grams.
One cup a day, you can basically drink it for a month, and the price can't be said to be cheap, at least the middle and upper classes can accept it.
The castle shop itself has a certain reputation, coupled with the publicity at the door, in just one morning, the red cube candy named "nourishing" was sold for more than 40 catties.
The overall effect is not bad, but like this, it is sold piecemeal, even if it can sell 100 catties a day, the road is still too narrow.
"How about opening a 'sugar water shop'?" There was a girl in the store who proposed to Li Yinguang.
Maybe she just said it casually, but in Li Yinguang's ears, she thought it was a good idea, as the name suggests, the sugar water shop sells sugar water, you must know that the materials in Mambach Town are relatively scarce, especially in terms of food and drink.
It may not be practical to open your own store to sell sugar water, but now that we have a 'product' in our hands, we can cooperate with others.
Restaurants, restaurants, barbecue restaurants and even bars, pimp inns and other places may have a demand for 'sweet water'.
It's easy enough to make sugar water, boil water with brown sugar cubes, and if you want to mix the flavor, you can also put some dried flower petals, fruits, etc., anyway, the main ingredient is 'brown sugar water'.
As for the price, if a cup and a half of silver bull coins are expensive, what about ten copper bull coins?
It's nothing more than sweetness, the problem of ordering brown sugar cubes in many ways and putting less brown sugar cubes, even if it is ten copper bull coins a cup, if you can sell 10,000 cups a day, and distribute half of the profits to those stores, the harvest will not be bad.
'Brown sugar cubes' can't make small profits but quick turnover, but 'brown sugar water' can.
"Assemble a sales team and run the business!"
After Li Yinguang determined that the 'brown sugar water' could be sold, he immediately made a decision and brought the housekeeper Goda over and asked him to prepare the 'sales team'.
Go to the major shops in Mambach Town that have sales scenes, and even the castle store can provide 'sugar water' for the other party to sell.
There are also a variety of cooperation models, such as the purchase of brown sugar, the sharing of sugar water, and even the commission of boiling sugar water!
In the afternoon, Li Yinguang asked someone to use a good wooden box, filled a full ten catties of red sugar, packaged it in a high-grade manner, and carried it to the lord's mansion.
When Andy Fei saw Li Yinguang, he was a little surprised, looked at the red and black sugar cubes in the box, and asked curiously, "What's in this?" ”
"Brown sugar cubes, it has the effect of nourishing and nourishing the skin, the county lord might as well drink more!" Li Yinguang said with a smile.
Andy Fei looked up at him and asked curiously, "This thing is made from the rhizome of 'Sweet Grass Vine'?" ”
Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it is boiled with sweet grass vine rhizomes, and it tastes good." ”
"It's a lot of money in there, isn't it?" Andy asked thoughtfully.
Li Yinguang shook his head with a wry smile: "Yesterday there were more than 500 people in the camp outside the town, today it will reach at least 800 people, and tomorrow it will reach 1,000 people.
If I want to tell you that I don't make money, the county lord will definitely not believe it! ”
Andy Fei smiled and said casually: "That's right, I really don't believe it!" ”
Li Yinguang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Believe it or not, for the time being, they are losing money, and the more refugees are recruited from the slums, the more holes will be." ”
"So why hire? Wouldn't it be better to leave it to its own devices? Andy asked with a smile.
The words made Li Yinguang feel a stir in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh, people are pure superiors, they can not care about the lives of poor refugees, and even only use these people as tools, but he can't, he is not a superior, just a person, a person with a little conscience.
Li Yinguang didn't want to discuss too much with the other party on the issue of poor refugees, and the purpose of this visit was very simple, to send new products to the other party to taste, to show his due goodwill.
As for the operation of 'Red Sugar', I didn't want to cooperate with the other party, this is the unique business of the Ancient Castle Iron City, at least at the moment, I don't want to give the other party a piece of the pie.
