Chapter 162: A Money Cow
Since the pre-sale is scheduled for the morning, that is, around nine o'clock.
Ning Wuxian didn't rush to the perfume shop to crowd people, but first went to a small island in the middle of the lake, and while having breakfast, he signed a contract with Shen Youchu to supply ice.
After receiving the contract from Zhou Jingxian last night, and thirty sets of stills, and receiving nearly a thousand catties of saltpeter one after another.
A contract to supply ice is also on the agenda.
After Shen Youchu read the contents of the contract, he exclaimed: "Is it really only a hundred wen for a pound of pure ice?" ”
One tael of silver for a thousand wen.
Ten catties of pure ice for one tael of silver.
"Juxiang, is this cheaper than the ice cubes that our family uses to cool off in the summer?"
Ju Xiang nodded like pounding garlic.
I was already looking forward to it, with the light of Ning Gongzi, in the future, when it was hot, she could sit in the cool and pleasant ice house to help Miss do things.
"A pound of pure ice is really not cheap, after all, the production requirements of pure ice are high, so the majority of the production cost is paid by it."
Ning Wuxiao saw how much advantage Shen Youchu had taken, so he could only take out another pricing list for her to see.
What is written on the paper is about the pricing of non-pure ice.
First gear: one pound and fifty wen, the ice cubes have no peculiar smell, and have a regular model.
Second gear: one pound and twenty wen, the ice cube is turbid, slightly regular.
Third gear: one pound and ten wen, the ice cubes are slightly odorous, turbid and irregular.
The fourth gear is the cheapest, that is, the kind that Yu Binghe bought yesterday, it only costs five wen per catty, but it has a peculiar smell, turbid impurities, and irregular shape.
Shen Youchu pointed his finger at the word "peculiar smell" on it, and asked puzzledly: "What is this peculiar smell?" ”
"The smell of saltpeter boiled is not heavy, but if you don't ventilate it, you will still smell it after using it too much, so you need to use it with other flowers or perfumes to cover the smell, which is not much harm to the body."
Ning Wuxian told Shen Youchu about the process arrangement of saltpeter ice making.
The first is to make pure ice, and as I saw yesterday, stable saltpeter ice can make pure ice that is transparent.
Later, he used a still last night to recondense saltpeter water into saltpeter, and then made ice cubes, due to saltpeter purification technology and the ratio, it is impossible to fit so tightly.
The workers produced it in a unified manner, and in addition to the first process, the rest was made into the first few ice cubes, all by luck.
"Fortunately, a pot of saltpeter water can be refined many times, but in order to ensure that it is not wasted, I plan to use it only three times, and the saltpeter refined again can be reused to make medicinal materials or pigments."
Ning Wuxian's main focus is the recycling of raw materials without waste.
Shen Youchu and Ju Xiang were all stunned.
It turns out that a pound of saltpeter can be made into so much ice, not to mention, after making ice, it can also be used as a medicinal herb or pigment.
What kind of magical ore is this?
This is the real cash cow!
"Ning Gongzi, if you had said this earlier, I think the price of the saltpeter that Jingxian sold you should have increased."
"So I didn't give her the chance, but if she needed it, I could sell her the saltpeter after the ice was made at a low price."
Shen Youchu thought of King Kang's family, as early as twenty years ago, after receiving the ridiculous fiefdom in Lingnan, they had been living a miserable and poor life.
In fact, it is guarding a cash cow.
Although it was a little unkind, she thought it was really funny.
But thinking that without Ning Gongzi's presence, the pile of saltpeter would still be a pile of thankless stones that couldn't make much money, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Ning Gongzi, you helped Jingxian this time, I'm afraid Zhou An will hate you even more, you must be careful when you go out."
Before Ning Wuxian nodded, he heard Shen Youchu continue: "It's better like this, before Zhou An leaves Jinling, you and I will eat and live together, so that he will have no chance to murder you." ”
Eat and live together?
Ning Wuxian raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the small island in the middle of the lake that he had landed on for the first time.
This place is quite beautiful and the safety factor is very high.
It's just that.
"There must be a lot of people coming to me to talk about business recently, and the perfume shop is still busy, so I won't live here......"
"It's okay, I can go to live where you stay, anyway, I don't choose a bed, you can arrange a room for me to sleep in."
Shen Youchu's words made Mei Xiang, who hadn't slept well for two nights and had been keeping vigil in Zhangjiazhuang to catch mosquitoes, secretly rolled her eyes.
Miss in order to chase her husband.
It's really going unturned.
Ning Wuxiao didn't expect that Shen Youchu actually felt that Zhou An would be so dangerous.
He took a deep look at Shen Youchu's earlobe, and unexpectedly, he was bitten and swollen with a big bag.
It seems that after the pre-sale of 20,000 bottles of perfume, another planned thing can be implemented.
"I will stay in Hanshan Temple and Zhangjiazhuang in the near future, Miss Shen wants to run an ice drink shop, and she can just guard the ice-making workshop there, develop a new fruit drink, and take ice directly."
"What a great idea!"
Shen Youchu saw that Ning Wuxiao did not reject his own meddling, and a happy smile appeared on his little face.
Sure enough, after becoming a partner, even the treatment has been upgraded.
can make money and stay with Ning Gongzi, and her mother no longer has to worry about her being idle.
Pricing for ice cubes was determined.
Ning Wuxian and Shen Youchu sent the other two contracts to Ji Fu and Zhou Jingxian's winery respectively for them to sign.
After Ji Jin learned the price of pure ice, he was worried: "Ning Gongzi, you won't lose money, right?" ”
"No...... I've always made sure I didn't lose money. ”
Wait until Shen Youchu explains.
After Ji Jin finished calculating this account, he realized that having a secret recipe is equivalent to owning a cornucopia.
"No wonder Ning Gongzi would rather mortgage the Ping An Medical Center than buy the secret recipe of the corporal."
It's really a million profits!
"Jin'er, what are you doing mentioning the past?"
Shen Youchu thought that Ning Wuxian's efforts in the past were all for Liu Qingfang's gossip.
She wasn't interested in what had been before.
She cared more about Ning Wuxiao in front of her.
Ji Jin smiled apologetically at Ning Wuxiao, who didn't care.
The matter passed, and Ye Liu, who wanted to harm him, even raised the ashes, and he had already succeeded in desensitization.
After separating from Ji Jin, he went to the place where Zhou Jingxian ran an errand, but no one was there.
"It seems that the county lord finally knows how to rest."
Anyway, the matter of ice drinks was not in a hurry at this moment, so he let the carriage stop at the leading street of Xuanwu North Street, ready to walk over.
It has to be said that it was a wise decision.
Because along Xuanwu Lake, there is a three-mile-long entire street of Xuanwu North Street, which is overcrowded at this time.
The shouting and shouting were endless.
The crowd was so crowded that there was no way to make a road for people to pass.
Shen Youchu saw that Mei Xiang was pinched by the soft flesh on her waist by the two maidservants, pushed it out, did not advance but took two steps back, blocked her forehead with her hands, stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, and was amazed.
"It feels like people from all over Jinling are here."
"At least Miss Ji didn't come."
Ning Wuxian's rebuttal caused Shen Youchu to roll his eyes.
Is it time for jokes?
Isn't it time to find a way to get into a perfume shop?
"It seems that in order to prevent cutting in line, the people in front will not let us in."
Ning Wuxian spread his hands helplessly and decided to give up squeezing in.
