Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 122 Cooperation

In today's Dachu, even if you cook oil with your own fat meat, it costs 380 yuan to make a catty of oil, and the meat oil on the market is more expensive than homemade meat, selling for [-] yuan per catty. arts.The jar of meat oil that their family gave to the Gu family last time was only five catties, plus a jar of money, it cost [-] Wen.

Pine oil needs to go into the mountains to harvest the resin, and then refine it, so it is not at all cheaper than meat oil, and it also sells for [-] yuan a catty.

Not to mention candles, which are precious things.

A pair of candles can be sold for two hundred Wen, which can be used by wealthy households except for nobles and nobles.Ordinary farmers only buy two of them when they celebrate the New Year or when they get married or worship their ancestors.

In this way, the cost of soybean oil is much cheaper than them.

After Shang Xiu finished the calculation, he became even more excited, and asked Gu Jinli: "Is this soybean oil likely to light a lamp? Does it consume a lot of fuel?"

Gu Jinli nodded: "Of course it is possible."

Shang Xiucai listened, picked up his teacup, poured tea in one gulp, put the teacup on the table, and said to Gu Jinli: "Little fish, pour in the soybean oil from the wooden bowl."

Ah Jiu took the altar of soybean oil to the kitchen to cook, but Gu Jinli still had a wooden bowl of soybean oil in his hand, so he poured the soybean oil from the bowl into the teacup.

He also took out a piece of burlap half a finger wide, kneaded it into a wick, put it into a teacup, waited until the wick was saturated with soybean oil, took out a torch, and lit the wick.

The wick catches fire quickly and burns slowly.

Shang Xiucai looked at the burning flame and waited silently. After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the flame was still burning, and there seemed to be a lot of soybean oil in the teacup.

"Sure enough, this soybean oil is just like meat oil. It can be used for cooking and lighting lamps." Shang Xiucai was very happy. In this way, the value of soybean oil will be even higher.

While talking, Ah Jiu had already come in with a storage box: "Master, the dishes are ready."

Ah Jiu opened the box, put a plate of fried meat, a plate of fried bean sprouts, fried eggs, and fried meatballs on the table in the main room, and placed five pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

"These dishes are all made with the soybean oil brought by Miss Yu, Master, try it."

After Shang Xiucai listened, he greeted the third grandfather and the others, and impatiently picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes on the table.

"...Although it is not as fragrant as meat oil, it tastes good and can be used for cooking." Shang Xiucai ate the four dishes on the table. The more he ate, the more satisfied he was, and the more optimistic he was about the soybean oil.

The people in Dachu are poor, and farmers in many places can only eat boiled vegetables, so they buy a little meat during the Chinese New Year, so that they can be stained with meat.

With this soybean oil, it is hard to say that the people in the whole Dachu can eat meals made with oil every day. At least the peasants in the Jianghuai prefectures no longer need to eat boiled vegetables.

Shang Xiucai put down his chopsticks, sipped the tea, looked at the third grandfather and the others, and asked, "Uncle Gu, brother Gu, what are your plans for this soybean oil?"

Although the third grandfather and Gu Dashan's family are close, they are not Gu Jinli's real grandfather after all, so they did not rely on the old to sell the old, but said: "Let Dashan and Xiaoyu be the masters."

When Gu Dashan heard this, he was a little flustered. He had no skills, but he knew how powerful it was. Looking at Shang Xiucai's excited look, he knew the value of this soybean oil.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Xiaoyu, you made this soybean oil, so you decide."

After fleeing famine all the way, Gu Dashan felt in his heart that his daughter was more capable than him, and as long as she made a decision, it was generally beneficial to them.

Gu Jinli was neither polite nor procrastinating, and directly said to Shang Xiucai, "Uncle Shang, how about our Gu, Shang, and Jiang families working together to make soybean oil?"

"If Uncle Shang agrees with the Jiang family, the three of us will cooperate to open an oil workshop, and my family will make oil recipes. I don't care about other things. The profit, the three of us will share equally."

Shang Xiucai was shocked when he heard this: "Little fish, do you know how much profit this soybean oil can bring to your family? Are you really willing to cooperate with the three companies and share the profits?"

Still so straightforward, saying that as long as the profit is made, the affairs of the oil factory will be ignored in the future.

Gu Jinli smiled: "Uncle Shang, if you have money, you have to spend your life."

Her family is an ordinary peasant family without a backstage. If she wants to do this soybean oil business, she has to find someone to cooperate with. The best partners at present are the Shang family and the Jiang family.

Jiang's family has a county lieutenant, who is regarded as a local snake in Tianfu County. Only by tying the local snake to his boat can he keep her family safe.

Shang Xiucai did not expect Gu Jinli to say such blunt words, but she was right. Money is important, but life is more important. If giving up part of money can bring the safety of family and property, why not do it.

But Shang Xiucai didn't immediately agree, but said: "I have to ask the Jiang family about this before I can answer you."

He wanted to help the Gu family, and he also wanted to make soybean oil to benefit the people of Dachu, but he didn't know what his father-in-law thought, and he had to discuss it.

Gu Jinli knew there was no rush for this matter, so he said, "Okay, we'll wait for Uncle Shang's reply."

After talking about soybean oil, Tao Zi came over and said that Mrs. Jiang and Yuan Yuan wanted to see Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli followed Tao Zi to the backyard of the Shang Mansion, met Jiang Shi and Yuan Yuan, talked to Jiang Shi for a while, played with Yuan Yuan for a while, and then left.

The third grandfather went to the town to sell tofu, Gu Jinli and Gu Dashan went back to Dafeng Village, and Gu Jinan stayed at Shang's house to study with Shang Xiucai.

……

Dafeng Village.

Gu Dashan and Gu Jinli had just arrived at the end of the village when they saw a group of people surrounding their house.

Mr. Qin, Qin Sanlang, Luo's father and son, and Gu Dafu were blocking the group of people from entering Gu Jinli's house.

The group of people were very anxious, and they kept saying: "Brothers, we are not bad people, we are from the neighboring villages nearby. We know that the Gu family's tofu is good, so we came here and wanted to meet the head of the Gu family. Talk about tofu trading."

There were quite a few of them, more than a dozen of them, and they were all grown men, but Gu Jinli's family only had women and children, Luo's father and the others would not let them in, they just said: "This family is not here, and we don't know you, let's go. "

This group of people came to Gu's house on purpose. They haven't entered the door yet, so where are they willing to leave?

When Gu Dashan saw this group of people surrounding his house, he was terrified. He hurried over, stopped the group of people with Father Luo and the others, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing surrounding my house?"

Gu Jinli ran over with a dagger in his sleeve, staring at the group of people unkindly.

When the dozen or so people heard Gu Dashan's words, they knew that he was the man in charge of the Gu family, and immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you are the head of the Gu family tofu stall, right? Don't be afraid, we are not here to make trouble, we want to come to you Let’s buy tofu at home, let’s talk about making a living with tofu.”

The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a coarse cloth jacket with gray cloth patches on the sleeves and trouser legs. When he said this, he had a flattering smile on his face.
