Chapter 158 Nourishing and nourishing
Li Yinguang picked up the brown sugar cubes on the drying board, first observed their color, and then put them in his mouth to taste them. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, the smile on his face became more intense.
“it is good!”
Looking up at Song Changsheng, he asked, “How much brown sugar like this can be boiled and dried every day?”
Song Changsheng scratched his head, embarrassed on the spot, but Mu Yunying who was standing beside him answered, and said saly: “If the various supporting processes are not broken, you can get thousands of catties of this ‘brown sugar cube’ in a day. ”
“A thousand catties?”
Li Yinguang talked about this number, and analyzed the sugar content of the ‘sweet grass vine’ in his mind. There are more than 500 people in the field camp. With so many people, with the help of machinery and equipment, the excavation work should progress very quickly. That’s right, coupled with washing, grinding, juicing, boiling and other processes, can you get thousands of catties of brown sugar every day?
To be honest, Li Yinguang was not very satisfied with this number!
“How many sweet grass vines can be dug up every day?” Li Yinguang looked up at her and asked.
Mu Yunying hesitated for a moment and said: “Today hundreds of people participated in the excavation, and probably tens of thousands of catties of ‘Sweet Grass Vine’ rhizomes were excavated.”
The harvest is not very low, perhaps more loss links appear in other places.
“You, from now on, will be the general manager of the ‘camp sugar factory’. Song Changsheng will be in charge of guards and digging in the field. You will be in charge of leading people to boil sugar. In addition to the amount of sugar produced, you must also ensure the boiled ‘brown sugar cubes’ It is clean enough, and there are no impurities as much as possible, especially in the final stage of boiling sugar and making Tang, try to use trustworthy people, understand?”
Li Yinguang looked at the other party and said word by word.
Mu Yunying nodded: “Understood! No one will poison it, make sure everything is safe, and the workers will eat the finished sugar first!”
Li Yinguang smiled suddenly, he was a smart person with a clear heart, carefree on the outside, but delicate in his bones.
“Good job!”
Before leaving, he patted the other person on the shoulder.
In addition to the temporary guards, Li Yinguang will send someone from Saipan to take over the guards to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Turning “sweet grass vines” into “brown sugar cubes” is a strategic leap forward for the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle. At least from now on, the field coolie camps are no longer just for money.
“Brother, the sugar is boiled, why are you so unhappy?”
On the way back, Xiaoman leaned into Li Yinguang’s arms, tilted his head and asked in puzzlement.
Li Yinguang smiled wryly, and raised his hand to scratch her little nose: “Cooking the candy is only the first step. We boiled the candy out of sweet grass vines, but we must sell the candy to be considered a success, otherwise it will never be successful.” Sugar cannot be turned into money.”
Xiaoman blinked: “So you are worried, how can we sell the candy?”
Li Yinguang nodded: “That’s right, if it is produced, it will be sold and turned into money.”
“Can’t we sell it in the market?” Xiaoman tilted his head thinking.
Li Yinguang shook his head and smiled wryly: “It’s too low-end. For us, ‘brown sugar cube’ is a good product. A good product must be matched with a good price. Although it can be sold in the market, it must not be sold. It will sell for too high a price!”
A piece of red cube sugar boiled from sweet grass vines may only sell for ten copper bull coins in the market, and maybe less than half a silver bull coin for a catty. Obviously, this kind of low-end sales channel is not Li Yinguang want.
What he needs are ‘commodities’, not dumping, or even small profits but quick turnover. How many people does Mamba count in Mambach town? How many copies can be sold by dumping brown sugar cubes!
Back in Iron Armored City, Li Yinguang thought hard all night, and finally decided to take the ‘high-end route’.
“Why did you let me drink this?”
Alma looked at Li Yinguang puzzled, her lower abdomen had already swollen very high, and she was no stranger to Alma, the place where the red sugar was produced.
Li Yinguang said with a smile: “Replenishing, a cup of brown sugar water every day can replenish the various minerals that your body lacks, and it can also nourish blood and Qi. There are many benefits.”
Who is ‘Brown Sugar Water’ suitable for?
There is no doubt that women, especially women who are about to menstruate, followed by the elderly, children, brown sugar water can be sold as a ‘tonic’. It is also suitable for stewing soup and boiling water, anyway, it has more benefits.
Alma muttered softly, “I feel like you’re acting weird this morning!”
Li Yinguang pretended not to hear him. After breakfast, he called Sophia and Lan Ling, and led a few guards to the town of Mambach.
No. 18 Zhongbao Street, Gubao Store.
Li Yinguang’s arrival was a little unexpected to the shop assistants.
“Boss, why do you have time to come to the store today?”
“There is no one in our store all day long, and we are almost bored to death. When will the business be as hot as it was when it first opened?”
Hearing the complaints from the clerks, Li Yinguang smiled and said, “Isn’t it good to keep you idle? It’s just the cheap bones. Go and find some containers. They can’t be too small or too ugly.”
After a pause, he instructed the clerk to go outside the door, set up tables, chairs and benches, and got a few exquisite small coal stoves and placed them outside.
The clerk looked at Li Yinguang in confusion, and asked curiously, “Boss, what are we doing?”
“Boil the water!”
Li Yinguang smiled and said, to be precise, he wanted to boil brown sugar water and give it to passers-by for free.
“This is a good thing, nourishing brown sugar, especially for you girls, drinking it often can replenish blood, improve physical fitness, and make your complexion better and more beautiful.”
First of all, turn the few female shop assistants in the Gubao store into loyal users of ‘Brown Sugar’. If none of us recognize the efficacy of ‘Brown Sugar’, no one else will.
“what is this?”
“Nourishing sugar water, taste it for free!”
“No charge? Then I’ll try a cup!”
“Does it taste good? This nourishing brown sugar is prepared from ancient recipes purchased in our store. Each piece has the effect of nourishing yin and beautifying the skin. It is a rare tonic for women!”
“And the price is not expensive, a catty of ‘nourishing brown sugar’ is only nine silver bull coins, you can drink it for a long time!”
A catty of brown sugar can weigh about twenty-five or six pieces, and each piece of red sugar weighs about 20 grams. Li Yinguang specially asked the sugar factory to cut this size.
One cup a day can basically last a month, and the price cannot be said to be cheap, at least the middle and upper class can accept it.
The ancient castle store itself has a certain reputation, and coupled with the publicity at the door, in just one morning, the red sugar cube named “nourishing” sold more than 40 catties.
The overall effect is not bad, but if you sell it piecemeal like this, even if you can sell a hundred catties a day, the road is still too narrow.
“How about opening a ‘sugar shop’?” A girl in the shop proposed to Li Yinguang.
Maybe she just said that casually, but in Li Yinguang’s ears, she thought it was a good idea. As the name suggests, a sugar shop sells sugar water. You must know that the supplies in Mambach Town are relatively scarce, especially in terms of food and drink. .
It may not be practical to open a store and sell sugar water by yourself, but now we have a ‘product’ in our hands, so we can cooperate with others.
Restaurants, restaurants, barbecue restaurants, even bars, pimp taverns and other places may all have a demand for ‘sugar water’.
Making sugar water is also simple enough. Use brown sugar cubes to boil water. If you want to adjust the taste, you can also add some dried petals, fruits and the like. Anyway, the main raw material is ‘brown sugar water’.
As for the price, if a cup of half silver bull coins is expensive, what about ten copper bull coins?
It’s nothing more than sweetness, order more brown sugar cubes, put less brown sugar cubes, even if it’s ten copper bull coins a cup, if you can sell 10,000 cups a day, and distribute half of the profits to those stores, the harvest will not be great. Where will it go.
‘Brown sugar cubes’ cannot achieve small profits but quick turnover, but ‘brown sugar water’ can.
“Build a sales team and run the business!”
After Li Yinguang confirmed that the ‘Brown Sugar Water’ could be sold, he made a decisive decision and asked Goda, the housekeeper, to prepare a ‘sales team’.
Go to the various shops with sales scenes in Mambach Town, and even the castle shop can provide ‘sugar water’ first for the other party to sell.
There are also various modes of cooperation, such as purchasing brown sugar, sharing sugar water, and even extracting boiled sugar water!
In the afternoon, Li Yinguang asked someone to use a good wooden box, packed a whole ten catties of red cube sugar, and the packaging was high-grade, and the carrier went to the mansion of the lord.
When Andy Fei saw Li Yinguang, she was a little surprised, looked at the red and black cubes of sugar in the box, and asked curiously, “What’s inside?”
“Brown sugar has the effect of nourishing and beautifying the skin, the Princess might as well drink more!” Li Yinguang said with a smile.
An Difei looked up at him, and asked curiously: “Is this thing made of ‘sweet grass vine’ rhizomes?”
Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, it is made from sweet grass vine roots, and it tastes good.”
“It’s very profitable, isn’t it?” Andy Fei asked thoughtfully.
Li Yinguang smiled wryly and shook his head: “Yesterday there were more than 500 people in the camp outside the town, and today there will be at least 800 people~www.readmtl.com~ Tomorrow there will be 1,000 people. There are so many people digging sweet grass and vines. How much, and how much can be sold to meet their food and clothing for a whole day?
If I tell you that I don’t make money, the princess will definitely not believe it! ”
Andy Fei smiled, and said nonchalantly, “That’s right, I really don’t believe it!”
Li Yinguang spread his hands and smiled wryly: “Believe it or not, we are losing money for the time being. The more refugees are recruited from the slums, the more holes there will be.”
“Then why are you still recruiting? Wouldn’t it be better to let them fend for themselves?” Andy Fei asked with a smile.
The words made Li Yinguang tremble in his heart, and he couldn’t help sighing, he is a pure superior, he may not care about the life and death of the poor and refugees, or even treat these people as tools, but he can’t, he is not a superior , just a person, a person with a bit of conscience.
Li Yinguang didn’t want to have too many discussions with the other party on the issue of the poor and refugees. The purpose of his visit this time was also very simple, to send the new products to the other party for a taste, to show his due goodwill.
As for the management of ‘Red Cube Sugar’, they did not intend to cooperate with the other party. This is the exclusive business of the Iron Armored City of the Ancient Castle.
