As night fell, in the spacious restaurant, Lin Ze, Li He, the magistrate, and Gao Fei, the chief bookkeeper, sat as guests.

The chef and the healthy women serve the cooked dishes one by one.

Nominally, tonight's banquet was to celebrate Lin Ze's housewarming in Fengping County.

At first, the three of them didn't get down to business.

Just casual chatter and eating.

"Ziyi, although the dishes in your home are not very unusual, the taste is much more delicious."

After eating for a while, Li He opened his mouth and exclaimed.

Lin Ze invited guests to dinner tonight, and the ingredients used were also very precious, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were complete.

However, Li He, the old magistrate, is also used to eating these things, and he doesn't care much about the cherishing of the ingredients, but at this moment, he is amazed by the food in Lin Ze's family.

On the side, Gao Fei also agreed: "What Master Li said is reasonable. ”

His status is not as good as Li He, but his family is a strong man in Fengping County, and his quality of life has been good since he was a child.

"It's just a joke, it's just some secret seasonings from the family."

Lin Ze spoke modestly.

It's chicken bouillon, I added chicken bouillon!

When he opened the door to return to the main world before, Lin Ze took a bag of chicken essence and poured it into a glass bottle because he was going to entertain guests at night.

Most of the delicious taste in food comes from an ingredient called monosodium glutamate.

Ancient chefs boiled large bones to make chicken soup, and it took a lot of effort to get out of monosodium glutamate, and a few dollars in the main world can buy a big pack.

The recipes for the royal banquet in the Overworld have been restored by the descendants of the imperial chef himself, and after everyone eats them, they find that the taste is just like that, compared to the modern improved cooking techniques and seasonings.

Even the enjoyment of the top elites in terms of taste is limited by technology, and the essence of chicken is even more amazing for the officials at the two county levels at the moment.

"Is it convenient to buy some?"

Li He had fallen in love with this delicious taste and asked for it directly.

When I plan to go home and cook, let my wife put some of it.

"Brother Lin Xian, I want to buy some for my brother."

On the side, Goofy echoed.

"How to buy, but this thing is precious, it is not easy to make, and I don't have much left, so I can give two people a tael, don't blame it."

Lin Zedao.

The chicken essence he brought over was only three taels, and some of them were used for cooking, and the rest of the scattered ones were not good to give away, so they could only take out two taels to give away.

"It's serious, it's serious, this thing is so delicious that it's rare in the world, even if it's a hundred times the price of gold, I'm afraid it will lead people to rush to buy it."

Li He smiled and admired.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that the gift given by Lin Ze was very precious, and he was not dissatisfied because of the small amount.

One tael of secret seasonings, if you take it out and sell it, it will be at least ten taels of gold.

Gao Fei on the side was also grateful, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more harmonious.

"It seems that selling spices is also a good way to make money."

Seeing this scene, Lin Ze thought in his heart.

The only regret is that the market for this area should be small.

After all, the agrarian society has the ability to consume, that is, the small number of nobles, and the overall consumption is very small.

The unit price is expensive, and you can't make much money.

-----------------

After the meal, the servants brought tea.

The group of three entered the study and began to discuss business.

"Lord Li, Lord Gao, I plan to buy a piece of land."

Lin Ze got straight to the point, took out a brief map of the county, and pointed to the barren mountain land in Fenglin Township, which covers an area of about ten square kilometers.

"That's it?"

Li He glanced at Gao Fei on the side, and they both saw some surprise in the other party's eyes.

Lin Ze invited them to a big dinner and gave them secret seasonings, but after spending a lot of money, ordinary celebration of housewarming would not be so extravagant.

Now this solemn invited them into the quiet study to discuss matters, thinking that there was something important.

Judging from Lin Ze's actions of buying and buying both houses and land in the past two days, they thought that Lin Ze had taken a fancy to someone's land and planned to do something to annex the land, so they talked to them in advance.

As Lin Ze's first-class master, it is reasonable to annex a little land on a small scale, as long as it doesn't make people angry.

The result is to buy a piece of wasteland that no one cares about?

"This is a trivial matter, Tengyue can handle it as the main book, since it is a barren mountain, although the area is larger, but it is roughly enough to give two hundred taels of silver."

"But since Ziyi is so serious, it shouldn't be just to buy this wasteland, right?"

Li He took a sip of tea and replied.

Lin Ze bought a piece of wasteland, there must be some reason that he didn't know, which would determine whether he really agreed to sell this wasteland to Lin Ze.

Gao Fei listened quietly and did not speak.

Now is the time to talk about business, the atmosphere is more serious, of course, it all depends on Li He, the magistrate, to play.

"The two adults should also know that the younger generation has just arrived and wants to buy more acres of land to settle down, but unfortunately there are all the owners of the fields in the county, and they only bought a few hundred acres of land in a busy day."

So I thought about finding another property to use as a family business to settle down in.

"There are coal deposits under this barren mountain, that is, the coal recorded in ancient books, if it is mined and sold to thousands of households, then even if I have many children and grandchildren in the future, with the support of this family business, the wealth is inexhaustible."

Lin Ze smiled and said the rhetoric that he had already thought of.

"The charcoal is poisonous, and the people have long been accustomed to burning firewood, Ziyi, even if your charcoal is mined, I am afraid that no one cares."

Li He listened to Lin Ze's thoughts and immediately frowned.

I was afraid that Lin Ze, a young man, would not listen to persuasion, so he gave an example: "This official once served as the magistrate of Songmao County, Xia County, where the real estate is barren and sparsely populated, and there were landlords who tried to mine coal and sell it to make money, but in the end it ended in nothing, and the coal left behind is now estimated to have not been burned for five years." ”

Li He was born poor, and his career as an official was not smooth, and he traveled to many counties before finally settling down in the big county of Fengping County.

After he talked to Lin Ze before, he intended to befriend Lin Ze.

Therefore, at this moment, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"What Master Li said is reasonable, in fact, it is not a secret that there is coal buried in the wasteland in Fenglin Township, and it is precisely because of the high probability of losing all the money from mining the coal, it is because of this wasteland that no one cares about it so far."

On the side, Gao Fei also opened his mouth to persuade Lin Ze.

For the persuasion of the two, Lin Ze was not surprised.

If we follow the current operation of the Great Zhou society, there is indeed a high probability that a lot of money will be spent on digging coal but it cannot be sold.

But he had already figured out how to promote coal with the help of the experience of the Overworld, so he naturally didn't worry about it.

Therefore, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you want to open this coal mine, you naturally have to think about how to sell the coal." ”
