Chapter 21: Profit
Call!
Zhu Houlie fell silently from the cliff, and at the moment when the head tribe arrived at the cave, the five fingers of his right hand were easily inserted into the stone wall of the cave, and with the help of his right hand, his body was soft and boneless against the cave wall, and he went directly into the depths of the cave. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info from falling to rushing in, just a blink of an eye.
The Iron Arm Monkey King brewed the Zhuguo Wine, and drank it with nearly 1,000 Iron Arm Monkeys under his command, and the unique aroma and energy of the Zhuguo Wine attracted many demon beasts from the Iron Arm Monkey Mountain to gather here.
People die for money, birds die for food, and in the face of this Zhuguo monkey wine that can strengthen the body and increase one's strength and vitality, no demon beast can refuse. So a scuffle over the monkey wine began, and this battle was a common thing for the monkeys, so all the iron-armed monkeys watched this big brawl with the mentality of watching the heat.
So Zhu Houlie took advantage of this opportunity to run into the monkey cave. And those iron-armed monkeys who were standing at the entrance of the cave, still staring at the monsters fighting in the distance, sometimes shouted excitedly, sometimes roared, and didn't notice Zhu Houlie's figure at all.
There was darkness in the Monkey Cave, but this did not prevent the innate martial artists from finding a path, and it was not a Dao method that fascinated the spiritual sense, but the light was much darker, but this did not affect much.
After a while, Zhu Houlie came to the inside of this empty mountain.
The rich aroma of wine wafted into Zhu Houlie's nostrils, although he was not very good at wine, but this time he was also attracted by this monkey wine.
"Is this the Zhuguo wine?" Zhu Houlie smelled it for a while and was satisfied, not deliberately pursuing its fragrance, looking at the light red liquid in the square stone pit, and said with emotion, "It is worthy of being a treasure of heaven and earth, but I also have to be faster, otherwise it will be miserable to be blocked in this cave by those monkeys." ”
Without any hesitation, Zhu Houlie lifted a relatively large wine vat from the storage space of the Divine Mirror, and Zhu Houlie estimated that this wine vat could hold about a meal of fine wine.
Because he took into account the situation outside, this time when he was loading wine, Zhu Houlie even used the ability of the Divine Mirror to use its suction power to suck the wine in the stone pit into the wine vat.
With the help of the artifact, it didn't take long for Zhu Houlie to fill this large wine vat.
"Look, this doesn't consume one-sixth or seventh-of-what this pit has stored. ”
Zhu Houlie looked at the wine, and at the same time estimated the movement outside, and felt that he couldn't be too greedy, so he sealed the wine vat and put it in the divine mirror for storage. After all, there are other things in the storage space, and if the wine is not sealed properly, I am afraid that everything else will have to be passively soaked.
After filling this wine, Zhu Houlie immediately flew out of the cave, and did not pour all the remaining monkey wine greedily, time does not allow, he would not think that those demon beasts who stole the monkey wine would fight to the death with a thousand iron arm monkeys, so time is cautious, and once all the monkey wine is stolen, Zhu Houlie can not guarantee whether those monkeys will go crazy, in the face of the crazy monkey group, only the great master of martial arts can survive, he Zhu Houlie does not have this ability.
Fortunately, Zhu Houlie was lucky this time, although the fierce battle outside was already at the end, several monkeys in the innate realm, including the Iron Arm Monkey King, were still fighting, and more than a thousand monkeys were happily watching the battle, so there was nothing to intercept when they came out of the hole.
Even if Zhu Houlie was found by many iron arm monkeys in the acquired realm when he left the monkey cave while climbing, because there was no innate iron arm monkey to restrain them, even if those monkeys had the heart to stop them, they could only sigh and watch Zhu Houlie leave quickly.
Although he was chased and killed by several congenital iron arm monkeys for a period of time when he was out of danger, Zhu Houlie still relied on his strong body to quickly get rid of the pursuit of the iron arm monkey and escape from the iron arm monkey mountain safely.
"It's time for another goal next!" Zhu Houlie said happily, he definitely made a lot of money on this wild trip!

"How's that going?"
In the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Tong asked a few stewards.
"Master, we have experimented with the method you passed over, more than 6,000 catties of coarse salt, and after refining the method, it will become more than 5,500 catties of refined salt!" said the steward very excitedly.
How could he not be excited, a pound of coarse salt is only more than ten yuan, but the fine salt can be sold for at least more than three hundred yuan, if the quality is good, five hundred yuan a pound is not a problem!
"What!?" Zhu Tong said in surprise, Zhu Tong was well-informed, but he couldn't help but be shocked by what the steward said.
Although Zhu Houlie told himself that the method of purifying coarse salt was a bit cumbersome, and the utensils needed were a little special, but with a large number of craftsmen supporting the bottom, those purified utensils were quickly manufactured.
But even so, the cost of manufacturing these utensils is not high, and after removing the labor costs such as refining, boiling, and filtration, turning coarse salt into refined salt becomes nearly twenty times more profitable!
Even if the production increases in the future, a large amount of refined salt pours into the market and lowers the price of coarse salt, but the profit difference will be fifteen times!
"What is the quality of the refined salt?" Zhu Tong asked again.
"Master, please look!" the steward presented the blue and white porcelain jar to Zhu Tong from the side.
The porcelain jar is full of white powder, without a trace of impurities and different colors, Zhu Tong gently stroked it with his hand, and he could feel a very fine and refreshing feeling. Even if you don't touch it with your hands and just look at it with your eyes, you can feel that the fine salt in this porcelain jar is coarse salt compared to the original boiled in seawater, and the quality is much better, but there is one more process, but there is a huge difference between the two!
"With such a sharp weapon, Yangzhou Salt Administration will become my bag, and it is not impossible to even become the first salt merchant in the world. Zhu Tong said excitedly.
"Pass the order, if anyone dares to divulge this secret method, the whole family will be killed!"
Suddenly, Zhu Tong changed color and said viciously.
"Yes!"
"It can't be all refined salt on the market, otherwise this fine salt wouldn't be so valuable. Zhu Tong looked pale and said to himself, "But I have lowered the price of refined salt a lot now, and eliminated all the coarse salt of those salt merchants on the market." ”
Zhu Tong is very resentful, since some people spend a lot of money to buy his life, then don't blame him for using this refined salt to force those salt merchants to die!
"Master, Zhuge is here. ”
The butler knocked on the door of the study and whispered outside.
"Why is he here?" Zhu Tong muttered to himself.
"He said that he had an appointment with Zhu Houlie's guests, and he also brought their predecessors from the Yuan Sect to my Zhu Mansion. The butler said respectfully.
"Then bring the guest into the living room. Zhu Tong instructed, "Let's do it first, remember not to leak secrets, remember!
"The little one understands!" the saltworks steward naturally knew what was at stake.
