The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Life is nothing more than two words, tossing and turning.

If you toss and turn well, you will be rich and powerful, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. If you toss and turn too much, your life will be just like that. At worst, you can still live a breath.

Before Lao Zhao had time to go to the carpenter's workshop, the gatekeeper in the front yard came to deliver the news.

"Butler Zhao, there is a letter from the manor."

Lao Zhao took the letter from the gatekeeper and looked at the gatekeeper.

"Have you arranged the people?"

"Everything has been arranged. Stay in the house for one night today, and go back to the manor tomorrow morning." The gatekeeper said.

Lao Zhao nodded and waved to indicate that he could leave.

Lao Zhao opened the letter, read the contents of the letter roughly, and then returned to the study.

Li Fu was sitting in a chair thinking about his business territory, and Lao Zhao knocked on the door outside.

"Come in." Li Fu didn't even raise his head.

"My dear, Zhuangzi sent a letter saying that people from Chang'an City went to buy soy sauce from the soy sauce workshop." Lao Zhao said.

"Now we know that the people who went to buy soy sauce must be Yin Ashu's people." Li Fu said, "Just sell it to them as usual."

There is no need to hold them back on such a small matter. Since the formula has been given to him, he can't let him fail to make the deal, otherwise it will make King Jingyang look so sinister and cunning.

That won't work. I am a sunny and cheerful big boy.

"The workshop has sold it." Lao Zhao said, "Three strings of money for one jar."

Li Fu nodded and said, "Yeah, that's good."

After the production volume increases in the future, the price will be a little more expensive.

"My dear, is this price a little..." Lao Zhao hesitated.

"Yeah?" Li Fu raised his head and looked at Lao Zhao.

Do you think it's too expensive? As a condiment for cooking, this price is indeed not cheap, and ordinary people can't afford it.

But there is no way to avoid the high price. Refined salt is used in soy sauce brewing, and the output of soybeans is not so abundant. Raw materials and labor are all costs. If it is sold at cost price, then why is he studying this thing? One or two jars at home are enough for a whole year, so there is no need to set up a workshop.

"Is it a bit too cheap?" Lao Zhao frowned.

Li Fu opened his mouth and didn't utter a word for a long time.

"Uh........."

Li Fu didn't know what to say.

Originally thought Lao Zhao thought it was expensive, but unexpectedly, he thought it was cheap.

"It's good to make money from this thing. Don't expect it to make as much money as tea." Li Fu said, "Don't compare it with tea. Tea is what I use to empty the pockets of the rich in Chang'an City. This soy sauce will enter the homes of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Just like the preserved eggs, it will become very cheap in the future."

Old Zhao thought about it and thought that what his husband said made sense. But that's all. When the preserved eggs were about to be sold, his husband also said the same thing. After more than half a year, the price of preserved eggs is still the same and has not dropped at all.

Li Fu knew in his heart that the price had not dropped.

The main reason was that the raw materials were not easy to get. With his encouragement, the farmers on the farm began to raise chickens and ducks, but these things were not enough to eat, and each family only raised one or two, which was the limit. This was because the life on the farm was pretty good.

With the master himself often giving them some benefits, they finally lived a good life and didn't need to take turns to go out with the same clothes.

But nowadays, the situation in other places is not so good. Don’t look at the surroundings of Chang’an, in fact, it is not so bad, especially in the north. In the past, the Turks came to make trouble every now and then, and it was difficult to farm.

Those people like those in Li Fu’s manor have their own owners.

The owner is not a living Buddha. He needs food. How can he be so merciful as to let the farmers under his command have no worries about food and clothing?

Li Fu’s manor is closely adjacent to Pei’s manor. The farmers there envy this side and can’t wait to come here with hoes.

There are not many owners like Li Fu who are kind-hearted and want to farm.

It all depends on conscience.

"Any new thing, when it first appears, can be sold at a high price. After a long time, as more people make it, the price will naturally fall. Some things can be sold at a high price, and some things cannot. This is the case with eggs and soy sauce. After three to five years, these two things will be affordable for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, even tea, in the end, I want the people of the Tang Dynasty to be able to afford it."

High-quality tea is not available, and those "tree leaves" are not available."Can it still be sold at such a high price?"

Old Zhao heard this and stood still, just bowing.

It's rare for my husband to still maintain such a pure and kind heart.

How lucky to have such a master.

As for my husband's suggestion of taking money from the pockets of the rich families in Chang'an City, just take it out. My husband has spent so much effort to pull the property of the house, so what if he asks those rich families to pay a little money?

Now Old Zhao is Li Fu's brainless blow.

Following Li Fu for the past two years, he has learned a lot and has seen Li Fu's way of making money. He admires Li Fu from the bottom of his heart.

"Since Yin Ashu has asked people to buy soy sauce, he should also be buying eggs, and the black tea in the shop, the price of tea is not cheap." Li Fu said.

"We haven't really noticed this in our shop, but I think that since they are going to make tea eggs, they probably buy inferior black tea. "Old Zhao said: "After all, that thing is used as raw material, and you can't drink it directly. It just needs to have that taste.

If you really use 188 strings of good tea, the tea egg will be sold at a sky-high price. "

Li Fu smiled.

Yes, tea eggs are not cheap to begin with, so why use the best tea?

Then the people in Chang'an City may not be able to afford tea eggs.

Using cheap materials can also reduce costs and make business easier.

If Li Fu were to do this business, he would also choose the cheapest ones to control costs.

The tea eggs that Li Fu eats are different from the tea eggs in the recipe he gave to Yin Ashu.

Why not enjoy yourself when you have money?

Use the top-grade special black tea, select the best quality eggs, and use eight secret ingredients such as Cordyceps sinensis and Dendrobium candidum as auxiliary materials.

It is delicious and healthy.

The jar he brought into the palace for Li Yuan was of high quality, and most people probably couldn't afford it.

Li Fu calculated the cost himself. If such a tea egg was not sold for two strings and eight cents, it would be unfair to the Cordyceps sinensis.
