Time: 4th year of the Tang Dynasty, March 15.

Location: Among the 108 squares in Chang'an, it is known as the poorest, most dilapidated, and cheapest Yanzuo Fang.

Zheng Xiaoyong, the eldest grandson of the Anxi Army veteran 'Xiucai', is sweating and working in a blacksmith shop called 'Minsheng Blacksmith'.

Saying! He Ah Weng's 'Xiucai' was buried in the ancestral grave of the old Zheng family in a burst of blowing and blowing on the 10th.

He, the second brother, the third brother, and the two cousins arrived in Chang'an City early in the morning by moonlight after going out in the middle of the night with some change of clothes on the eleventh day.

No way! Food, housing, shoes, socks and clothes are distributed every month, and there is a salary of 800 Wen.

Even if you do it well, there will be a rich reward for the New Year's Festival, such a good thing, which you can't find with a lantern on weekdays.

If you play a little late for a day or two, you are robbed in advance, and you can't find a place to cry.

Therefore, even if her mother-in-law is already five months pregnant, Zheng Xiaoyong, who actually doesn't want to work in Chang'an City at all.

is still in Grandpa's stick and Auntie's scolding.

The five brothers of the generation of "filial piety" all went to the city together to make money.

As for such a good thing, could it be a lie?

If anyone dared to mention this in front of Zheng Xiaoyong, an honest crop man, he would definitely slap the other party a few times regardless of it.

Now in Chang'an City, how much does it cost to buy a young maid?

If people don't care much about appearance, it's just 8,000 to 10,000 dollars.

And the relics of his own Ah Weng as much as 100,000 yuan, Captain Hu said to give it; I'm afraid that if I sell all my family, it's not worth so much.

Where would they do such a thing to deceive them.

In fact, since they entered the city all the way to Pingkangfang, they found the 'Deyue Building' that is still being renovated and is said to be open soon.

It was the female shopkeeper who was as beautiful as the fairy sister who talked about his own name.

The female shopkeeper called the concubine asked them affectionately if they had eaten the morning food?

As soon as he heard that he hadn't eaten it, he immediately asked another woman named the God of Wealth, who was also extremely beautiful, to make a bowl of rotten meat noodles for each of them.

Grandpa, they've never eaten such delicious noodles in their lives.

After eating, a few of them knew that they would be embarrassed to lick the bottom of the bowl, but they still licked the bottom of the bowl until there was not even a single oil star left.

Therefore, the female shopkeeper of the concubine was completely a female bodhisattva-like figure in the eyes of their brothers.

Then, Wolf Qing, Xiong Da and several other Lang Jun appeared, and led the five of their brothers away; It is said that they have different arrangements, but they all work inside and outside this Chang'an City, and they will not go to other places.

Among them, Zheng Xiaoyong himself was led to this place of 'Minsheng Blacksmith Shop' by a young man named Lang Qing.

The first time was to send two sets of narrow-sleeved, tight-fitting pants, as well as a pair of boots that should be made of porkskin, and four pairs of socks with fine fabric.

Immediately, Zheng Xiaoyong, a native bun who had just entered the city, felt that life was so beautiful.

If there is something you are not satisfied with, no! It should be said that it is not a place to get used to.

That is the shopkeeper of this noble concubine, when she speaks and does things, although her behavior is very dignified and polite; But the style that is often shown inadvertently is still very fatal for these dirt buns.

After a few days, when I think about it, I still feel that the scene of my red face at that time was very embarrassing......

Today, Zheng Xiaoyong is only the fourth day in the city.

But at this moment, although after remembering the recent encounter, there is a little distraction in the braincase, but the operation in the hand is quite skillful.

It's not that this kid is smart, it's just that at the moment, the work he is engaged in really doesn't have any technical difficulty.

Specifically, in a large tin bucket, some yellow mud mixed with plant ash was laid on a base four fingers thick.

A hole was made at the bottom of the tin bucket, leaving a circular vent in the base.

When he had done this, he took a few iron rods the thickness of his little finger and spread them on top of the ventilation tunnel.

Then, a bottomless tin bucket was placed in the middle of it; A mixture of yellow mud and plant ash was used to fill the gap.

At this point, the product he is responsible for producing is considered completely finished.

Just wait a while for all the fillers to dry and you can sell them directly.

Presumably seeing this, book friends who have a little more life experience, or are older, have already seen what Zheng Xiaoyong is doing:

That's right, it's a coal stove.

The kind of coal stove that burned honeycomb coal was popular in the modern plane before liquefied gas became widespread in large quantities.

Saying! During the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, was it reliable to sell coal stoves? Does anyone buy it, will it make a group of netizens lose their pants?

Of course not, then Zheng Xiaoyong made a coal stove between his hands and feet, and mentioned that he was waiting for it to dry naturally.

Just took a sip of cold white water, and didn't even take a little rest, and picked up a brand new tin bucket and got busy.

At the same time, he was in a shabby office no more than twenty or thirty meters away from him.

Fenghua will drain a large glass of boiling water in the 'Goo Dong~' room, moistening the throat that is very uncomfortable because of talking too much in recent days.

In a hoarse voice, he shouted at the wolf:

"I don't care, a total of 107 coal stove orders, I not only took all of them, but also accepted a part of the deposit, and it will be delivered tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I don't want to be scolded as a profiteer, so I'm going to come early tomorrow morning to pull the goods. ”

After shouting, he turned his head to Lao Tie, who was watching the excitement on the side, and said: "Don't think you're easy, kid."

I calculated that after a week at most, you need to supply at least 20,000 honeycomb briquettes a day to basically meet the supply.

With your current output of only a few thousand briquettes, you are far from the old nose. ”

In the face of the above requirements, after Wolf Qing and Lao Tie glanced at each other, they could both find the look in each other's eyes, which was a mixture of joy and trouble.

What's that! In the current situation where the team wants to make money, but can't be too ostentatious, and must make a lot of money, what should be done?

In the deliberation of eating hot pot that day, everyone unanimously agreed to eat food, clothing, housing and transportation.

These may seem inconspicuous, but as long as the scale is large, it is a very profitable aspect to start.

Even grain stores and cloth shops, which are the kind of shops that the family is accustomed to harvesting the wealth of the poor, cannot interfere and compete at present.

Other netizens, let's not talk about the projects they are responsible for.

After some discussion, the personnel of the two equipment manufacturing groups, Lao Tie and Langqing, set their sights on coal stoves and honeycomb coal.

To make such a decision, they didn't just pat their heads on the shoulder.

The population of Chang'an City, which is huge, reached its peak in the Kaiyuan period, but it has 360,000 households and a population of more than one million.

Now there are a few, nearly a million people still have.

With so many people, under the daily demand for fuel for heating, cooking and other aspects, the forests outside the city have long been cut down.

If you want to burn charcoal, you can only go to the Zhongnan Mountain, which is sixty or seventy miles away.

Therefore, the use of coal is nothing new in Chang'an City.

Every winter in Chang'an City, there are still many residents who hang up because of gas poisoning, which also leads to a traditional Chinese medicine saying: charcoal poisoning.

In such a situation, if the coal stove, a safer, more convenient and economical product, appears, where may not be able to sell to the bottom.

In fact, Fenghua will open a 'Fat Xilai Supermarket'.

Although so far, there are only two kinds of products, coal stoves and briquettes, and it seems that the scale is a small shop with an area of about 20 square meters, and it has not been open for more than a week.

Coal stoves were sold from two on the first day, five on the second day, and thirty-seven on the third day.

As of today, there are more than 300 stocks in stock, not to mention that they have been sold out, and there are still more than 100 orders in arrears.

In short, as more praise spreads, sales will also rise, and it is not uncommon to say that after a month, thousands of stoves are sold a day, and hundreds of thousands of honeycomb briquettes are still available.

The premise is that Wolf Qing and Lao Tie can meet such an output.

The two who expected this thing to sell well, but didn't expect it to sell so well, were silent for a few seconds.

After Wolf Qing spoke, he directly asked the key sentence: "Boss Feng, in the past few days, your fat Xilai supermarket has made money by selling stoves and honeycomb briquettes, how much money have you made with these things?" ”

I asked this because they were 'Minsheng Blacksmith Shop', and they directly approached the God of Wealth for material procurement, labor, and venues, and this one was just a financial director to advance and reimburse.

As for the product, it is sold through the 'Fat Xilai Supermarket' of the Fenghua Club, how much money can be made, and how much profit can be made, to be honest, they really don't know.

Faced with such a question, Fenghua will calculate it in his heart.

A statement is given in the mouth:

"Because the God of Wealth gave you a product and made a cost budget, it was calculated that the cost of a furnace is 26 Wen, and the cost of a honeycomb coal is 0.2 Wen.

So the price I sold there was 50 wen and three briquettes a penny.

Excluding labor and various expenses, it should be like earning thirty or forty times these days. ”

"It's only thirty-four, which is a little too little." After hearing such a sentence, Lao Tie, who has been working overtime to make honeycomb coal molds every day recently, immediately became bored.

Mainly compared to the huge expenditure under their various layouts every day, this money is a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this, Fenghuahui opened his mouth to explain:

"Old nonsense, this thing is actually just selling an idea, there is no technical threshold at all, and there is no difficulty in imitating it at all.

Although we have some cost and technical advantages, they are not much.

Therefore, we can only set the price at a time when other people do not have much profit, so that such a thing can be in our hands.

What's more, once this thing is bigger, it will occupy the market of the entire Chang'an City.

In terms of the workers who make stoves and briquettes, as well as the coolies who deliver briquettes to the door, I am afraid that there can be as many as one or two thousand people.

Counting their families, there are 10,000 people.

These livelihoods and interests, the people who are tied to us, will be some of the staunchest supporters in the future, whatever we intend to do.

Therefore, even if the price of a stove is 100 yuan now, it does not mean that it cannot be sold, and it is still quite popular.

But there is no need, as long as the scale is up, the profit will naturally increase. ”

Under some explanations from Fenghua Society, Wolf Qing and Lao Tie naturally had no more opinions, and looked at each other again.

Wolf Qing said: "Okay, I'm going to help too, anyway, it won't make you unable to deliver the order tomorrow." ”

After that, this little brother who has eighth-level fitter skills and a future 'intelligent assistance chip' is fully qualified to tinker with high-end subjects such as satellites and lunar probes in the modern plane.

But under a straw shed, I went to the coal processing stove.

Lao Tie then added: "Boss Feng, you also urge Xu Feng and a few of them to bring back some of the families of the Anxi Army."

It's okay to be older, it's not too tiring anyway......"

******

Now that you have planned it, you have to start from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Based on the knowledge of a group of netizens, who has been ahead of the curve for more than a thousand years, it is specified that they will not only make coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes.

As for what else, let's start with Zheng Xiaoyong.

There are also a few of their brothers, these indigenous perspectives to show one by one.

After finishing the coal stove at hand, the wolf glanced at the shadow of a pointer on the corona in the middle of the courtyard, and shouted out a sentence:

"Alright, let's finish the stove in our hands, let's go to lunch.

Even eating and resting, it is half an hour in total, and everyone should not exceed such a time; Recently, the orders have been tight, and everyone has worked hard, so there is naturally a reward at the end of the month. ”

After hearing such a sentence, Zheng Xiaoyong glanced at Ma Si, another worker next door.

They can all see each other, and the look in their eyes is full of joy.

It's just that this joy comes not only from the fact that at the end of the month, on the original generous salary, but also from being able to get an unexpected reward; It also has a lot to do with the lunch that is about to be eaten.

Since the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the saying of three meals a day has long been not an uncommon thing.

But this is limited to some officials and wealthy people.

For example, Zheng Xiaoyong, a kind of farmer's child, that is, in a few days of busy farming and the New Year's Festival, there will be a saying that there will be three meals a day.

Normally, it's twice a day.

These two meals are still dry and thin, and even two meals are porridge.

Since coming to Chang'an City to work, not only can I eat three meals a day, but the richness and deliciousness of each meal make Zheng Xiaoyong have a happy feeling that a mouse has fallen into the oil tank.

Stimulated by the food, Zheng Xiaoyong quickly finished making a stove in his hand.

After washing his head, face and hands quickly by the well, he went out of the gate and walked towards the 'convenient small table' in the middle of Yanzuofang.

Soon after, although the name had a 'small' in it, it was covered by a tall bamboo canopy.

With an area of three or four acres, the scale is really not small at all, and Zheng Xiaoyong's side appeared.

From afar, a tantalizing aroma came, and the thought of dozens of different food offerings made this thing instinctively swallow a little saliva.

It's just that when he entered the door, Zheng Xiaoyong stopped for a while.

It's not that he can't afford to eat the food inside.

Their 'Minsheng Blacksmith Shop' does not provide meals, but this 'convenient small dining table' is also opened by Lang Junmen in Xuange Camp.

It is said that the two gentlemen, the warehouse manager and the windmill, are in charge of this one thing.

Employees of Zheng Xiaoyong and other relevant units can eat three meals a day for free with some small iron pieces distributed, and they don't need to spend money at all.

The real reason is that there are a few men with big shoulders and round waists and sticks in their hands standing at the door.

This point is the strangeness of this convenient small dining table, when you enter the door, you actually have to see if the face, hands and feet are clean, and it is said that it is 'to avoid illness from the mouth', and those who are not clean hands and feet are strictly forbidden to enter.

If you don't wash it, it's not really big.

There are many jars of water at the door, as well as wooden basins, soaphorns, and handkerchiefs, which are provided, and it is good to wash them with some water.

However, if someone doesn't want to wash it up, they still want to force their way in.

Then these men's sticks will be beckoned, and after the beating, they will be thrown out directly.

This is also the biggest reason why Zheng Xiaoyong washed himself well before going out, he didn't want to go hungry for such a reason.

Although he instinctively felt that this poor was unnecessary.

When they were busy with farming, they would eat bread in the fields with muddy water, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But then again, wash your hands before eating like this every day.

Even every two or three days, Lang Qing and Lao Tie forced them to take a hot bath, after a few days.

I feel that I feel that I am a little more relaxed......

PS: Sorry, I went out for something during the day, and the update was a little late.

Also, there will not be much space for the relevant business methods and processes.
