Chapter 78 Poverty Alleviation Report

Not long after the green clothes left, Yanyan also arrived at the cake room, and everyone had a meeting in a room, Jiang Cheng called Yun'er and Zhou Fanghua, and Sun Heng was also listening.

"I read the account book of the cake shop, the business will be worse in the past two months, because our customers are too stable, there are only so many people who can afford it, and they will get tired of eating for a long time, you don't have to worry, in another three months or so, there will be changes"

"Jiang Gongzi, what has changed?"

"Material prices are falling"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, the businessman's sense of smell is the most sensitive, from last year to now, the spices in Yongdu City, including the materials of the cake are rising, the businessman smells the business opportunity, they will increase transportation, and will also adjust the planting, which takes time, at least half a year, so after three months, the material will slowly decline some, and then the price of cake and bread can drop a little, so that more people can afford it, we win by quantity, so Yun'er must do a good job in the training of the clerk, one person can't do much work"

Jiang Cheng replied that now cakes and bread are still luxury goods, there are too few customers, they have eaten for so long, it is normal for them to get tired of eating, and when the price of raw materials is reduced, customers can be designated as the middle class, and this group is very large.

"Okay, Gongzi Jiang, I'll adjust"

"Next, let's talk about the key point, I will open another fried chicken restaurant, in addition to giving 30% of the shares of Green Clothes, I have decided to give you the opportunity to buy shares, do you want to?"

"To"

"To"

"Childe, I don't have any money"

"I don't have any money"

"Sun Heng and Zhou Fanghua, I will give one free for one person"

"Ah, thank you, Childe"

"Childe, this is not good"

Sun Heng thanked him without hesitation, he originally regarded himself as Jiang Cheng's follower, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, Zhou Tingfang was very embarrassed.

"There's nothing bad about it, I promised your grandfather that I would treat you as a sister, even if this share is given to you by my brother, save some money, as a dowry, if you fancy someone, my brother will help you refer to it"

"I..."

Zhou Fanghua blushed with shame, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Gongzi, what about me and Yun'er?"

"You have money, it's different, let's pay some money to buy shares"

"Hmph, it's not fair at all"

"One of them is my younger brother and the other is my younger sister, there is nothing unfair about them"

"You've also called people a good sister."

"Ahem"

Jiang Cheng almost choked to death with his own saliva, is this appropriate, and the public teased him.

"Yanyan girl, favors are favors, so be it, you and Yun'er will each recognize a share, but it has to be said to be mine to the outside world, and I will give you the silver when the time comes."

Jiang Cheng replied, he can't divide it anymore, he doesn't have it anymore, and he also needs money, and Songshan still needs him to continue blood transfusion, and when he left, he had already discussed it with Zhou Fu'an, and gave them five hundred taels of silver every month in the future.

Now Jiang Cheng has two shops in his hands, but after deducting seventy-seven eighty-eight, he will only earn more than five hundred taels of silver per month, and he is actually not much if he gives five hundred taels, and his expenses all depend on the income of Tsing Yi Wei.

······

Huangzhuang, after nearly three months, Li Hongsleeve and Jiang Cheng came again, before Liu Qing was warned by Li Hongsleeve, became a lot calmer, although he still carried out apportionment, but he was extremely strict with corruption, and this year's Huangzhuang became vibrant.

"Jiang Cheng, you see, this is an artificial hatchery established according to your proposal, and it has been successfully established twice now, and the technology can be matured in half a year at most."

Li Hongsleeve said to Jiang Cheng in front of a warehouse, Li Hongsleeve did these things for political performance, so he didn't care about the cost, the silver was smashed, and he figured out the technology of artificial incubation in three months.

Of course, this technology is still very immature, tens of thousands of eggs were used before and after, but only less than a hundred chicks were hatched, and the rest were because the temperature control was not good, there was no thermometer, which completely depended on experience, so the cost of cultivating a technology, experienced and qualified talents was very large, and ordinary businesses could not play.

"The eldest princess's concern for the poor has already been felt by the lower officials"

"Now that I feel it, it's time to end"

"Eldest princess, wait a little longer, the article has already been written, but please hold off for a while, and wait until the matter is done, otherwise others will find fault."

"I've been waiting for more than three months, I don't care about these days, your fried chicken restaurant is opening soon"

"It's ready, it will open in three days, and today I'm here to see the slaughterhouse"

Jiang Cheng replied that the store had been almost prepared before, and after Cheongju returned, he raised funds, stockpiled a lot of raw materials, and trained employees, and it could open in three days.

"Liu Qing, is the slaughterhouse ready?"

"Back to the eldest princess, you're almost ready, and now there's only one condition left."

"What conditions"

"Transportation, Huangzhuang is dozens of miles away from Yongdu, even if it is by horse-drawn carriage, it will take more than two hours, winter is fine, but summer has come, and the slaughtered chickens here stink when they are sent over."

"Is there any way to fix it?"

"I'm negotiating with the drink shop in Yongdu City, and I want to buy their secret secret, which can be solved when the time comes."

"Don't be so troublesome, I know the secrets of those drinks shops in Yongdu, and I can break them at my fingertips"

Jiang Cheng replied that there are several famous drinks in Yongdu City, which can make some iced sour plum soup and other drinks in summer, and their secret is ice-making technology.

Before Da Wei, if you want to eat a bite of cold sour plum soup in summer, there are only two ways, one is that large families dig ice cellars in winter and save ice cubes for use in summer, and the other way is to make ice, using nitrate to make ice, after arriving in Da Wei, there is the first way, that is, immortal arts, but the third is not considered.

"Oh, Lord Jiang knows this secret that is not passed on?"

"Well, it's just saltpeter ice, take some saltpeter, and I'll make it for you right away."

Jiang Cheng replied, Jiang Cheng remembered that when he was in junior high school, the history teacher said that the technology of saltpeter ice making appeared at the end of the Tang Dynasty, so at that time, the teacher also ridiculed some online authors who wrote historical essays.

Liu Qing still didn't believe it, so he immediately sent someone to fetch saltpeter, Jiang Cheng experimented with him on the spot, and when he saw the bucket of ice, he was convinced.

However, saltpeter is not cheap, so the cost of the fried chicken restaurant has increased a little, and Jiang Cheng proposed to put the slaughterhouse in Yongdu City to reduce costs.

Three days later, Jiang Cheng opened a fried chicken restaurant in the south of Yongdu, the fried chicken restaurant was not big, and there were no activities or anything like that, but Li Hongsleeve also helped, this day she ordered a hundred fried chickens on Jiang Cheng's side, and gave them to the royal disciples of the Immortal Pavilion, the strategists and guards of the eldest princess's mansion, and the elders of the palace, and each gave some.

In addition, Jiang Yong and Jiang Wu also bought fifty of them each, and took them to some people in Tsing Yiwei, which was regarded as an advertisement, both of which were only charged at cost price, and two hundred fried chickens also made the four clerks so busy that they were dizzy.

Jiang Cheng doesn't have many kinds of fried chicken, one is crispy chicken wrapped in flour and egg liquid, and the other is honey chicken, in addition to two kinds of whole chicken, there are chopped chicken pieces, chicken cutlets, chicken legs, chicken wings, etc., a total of only ten kinds.

The effect of tasting is very good, don't look at these fried chickens are very greasy, but for the long-term lack of sufficient energy sources or for the martial arts who exercise a lot, it is very delicious, and the key point is that the price is not very expensive.

A live chicken in the ordinary market is about 80 wen a catty, and you have to kill it yourself when you buy it back, and you have to remove the hair or something, there will be loss, and a crispy fried chicken on Jiang Cheng's side is 500 wen, and the price is about the same as that of the hotel, of course, the weight will be less, but Jiang Cheng also has to use a lot of oil to fry, and give away the spices of chili noodles, which is nothing for the middle class, after all, Jiang Cheng's positioning is set in the middle class.

If it's not a whole chicken, it's one of the drumsticks or wings, it's cheaper, and as long as it's not destitute, you can still buy a little for the occasional tooth sacrifice.

Half a month after opening, the business stabilized, and about 200 chickens could be transferred from the slaughterhouse every day.

And the article that Jiang Cheng had written long ago also spread quickly in Yongdu City under Li Hongsleeve's arrangement, this article was carefully written by Jiang Cheng, and the data were all true.

Li Hongsleeve gave the chicks for free, and sent the chicks to the poor households, who could let weeds, earthworms, grasshoppers, insects, etc. to feed the chickens, and if there were conditions, they could be released directly to let them find food by themselves, and they could grow to three or four catties in about five months, and they could be slaughtered.

And the eldest princess's will be purchased at about 80 wen (will float) than the market price, so in this way, the income brought by a chicken to the poor is about 200 wen (100 wen is tax).

According to two batches a year, a group of five to ten families to calculate, can increase the income of poor households about two taels of silver every year, is two taels of silver a lot, for some people it is not a dime, Yongdu City more than ten high-end Qinglou Oiran tea fees are ten taels of silver, and the noble and wealthy families go to Wansheng Building to eat more than ten taels of silver.

But for those families who are so destitute that they are dying of starvation, two taels of silver have a fatal attraction.

At the same time, there is also a key point in this article that the eldest princess did this, and she did not lose money, because the eldest princess's business will slaughter the live chickens herself, and the chicken feathers can be sold to other merchants to make feather dusters, and the water, chicken feet, chicken necks, and chicken heads can also be sold for a sum of money.

Of course, these were sold to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng also contributed the techniques of braised chicken feet, spicy chicken neck, and chicken heads, which have not been promoted for the time being, but they are all collected from the eldest princess according to the price.

In this way, it can ensure that the eldest princess does not lose money, and of course she doesn't expect to make much money, so the costs invested in the early stage are deliberately ignored.

So as long as smart people can see from this beautified article, this model can be promoted on a large scale, after all, the righteousness and squandering money is to exchange real money for a good reputation, and this trick can get a good reputation without spending any money, which immediately caused a sensation among the courtiers.
