After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 379 Opportunity
"Did someone from Marquis Wu Cheng jump out and recommend him?"

"Well, and it still accounts for a large part."

"Anyway, father won't use him, I guess the candidate will probably be chosen between Suyuanhou and Dingguogong.

If General Liu recovers completely, he may still have to return to Ganzhou to garrison.

The Prince of Xirong is about to enter Beijing, and the Xirong Kingdom must not dare to fight Daxing again for a long time. "

Capable but not guaranteed to be loyal and mediocre but absolutely loyal, she thought the emperor would definitely choose the latter.

Ye Hanyu nodded, "I think it's the same. Marquis Suyuan and Duke Ding are both capable and loyal to his father. There is no one who is more secure than them. I just don't know who my father will choose in the end."

The two of them had already walked back to the main courtyard while they were talking. Gu Wanning suddenly bent her lips and smiled: "Tell me, the two of us, one just wants to be an idle prince, and the other just wants to live a leisurely life. What kind of idle mind are you talking about?" what?"

Ye Hanyu: ...That's right, why think so much, let's wash up and sleep.

……

Xu Boqing stayed in the Prince's Mansion for another two days, during which Qing Zhu personally checked his pulse and adjusted the prescriptions. After making sure that all the poison on his body was cleared up, he quietly went back to Zhuangzi under the escort of the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

It was still early for the list to be released, and Gu Wanning couldn't stay idle for a moment. Within two days, the two of them went to the Zhuangzi again. Naturally, it was impossible to plant so many peanuts just like that. The two sisters-in-law got together and recruited a lot The craftsmen in the village improved the oil-extracting machine a little, and changed it into a machine suitable for extracting peanut oil.

An oil-pressing workshop soon appeared in the village of the fifth prince and concubine. The peanuts on more than 2000 acres of land have been dried, and the average yield per mu is about 650 catties. The peanuts alone have collected more than 150 million catties, which takes up too much space. , Therefore, the oil starts to be oiled as soon as the peanuts are dry.

Most of the people at this time ate lard, why?

Because lard is cheap.

Pork costs 35 to [-] renminbi a catty, but lard suet that can be boiled is a penny or [-] more expensive, and then boiled into oil, it is about [-] to [-] renminbi a catty, and you can get some oil residue, which can be used as stuffing for cooking It's all possible, don't waste it.

In addition to lard, there is also sesame oil.

Yes, it was not rapeseed oil and vegetable oil that was first used as edible oil in ancient times, but sesame oil, which is now sesame oil.

At this time, sesame seeds were rarely planted in large areas in the north. Sesame seeds were mostly produced in the south, and because of the rough oil extraction process, the oil yield was not high, so that the price of sesame oil was much more expensive than lard, roughly more than 70 yuan per catty. , and sometimes even higher.

At this time, no one used peanut oil to sell.

Gu Wanning believes that as soon as this batch of oil goes on the market, it will definitely be sold out.

Because both lard and sesame oil have certain limitations, lard is easy to condense in winter, and the taste of sesame oil is too strong and easily overwhelms the taste of the vegetable itself. Unlike peanut oil, it is bright in color and has no obvious taste. Absolutely It is the first choice for cooking.

As for the price, let's set it at seventy yuan a catty for the time being.

The Fifth Prince Concubine herself has quite a few shops, and she can use any of them to sell oil. Zhuangzi sells oil here, and if she makes two or three hundred catties, she sells it in the shop. At first, no one noticed this so-called peanut oil, but when the fifth concubine asked the chef in the house to fry two dishes in front of the shop, the shop was full of people.

There are always people who want to try novel things, especially the chef's skill is good, the dishes made are shiny and beautiful, and let passers-by taste them. After a while, more than 200 catties of oil were bought about the same.

By the time the shopkeeper, who was like a cloud of customers, came in a hurry, the oil was gone.

"Where is your shopkeeper? I want to talk to him about a business."

The clerk led him into the store, and the two shopkeepers sat down, and the two sides had a friendly negotiation.

"We want more, one thousand catties, can we give you a discount?"

The shopkeeper of the oil workshop shook his head directly: "It's [-] catties, and that's the price. We're trying to sell it for three days. After these three days, people who have tasted it will know the benefits of our oil, and then they will have to buy it." price goes up."

Customer Ruyunlai's shopkeeper is so angry that he has never seen such a business. Buying more can't be cheap, and he keeps saying that he wants to increase the price.

But he still has to buy it, the Zhao family is not what it used to be.

The reason why the Zhao family was named an imperial merchant was because the Zhao family donated large sums of silver many times when the Daxing treasury was short of funds.

But recently, I don't know who is taking action against the Zhao family, not to mention stealing all the funds accumulated by the Zhao family for several generations, and affecting the business of the Zhao family.

Jinxiufang barely got together and opened, the business is only less than [-]% of the original, this situation is still going on, there is no sign of improvement, and the Shiding hotpot restaurant that has risen in the past year, the business of customers like clouds is only Eighty percent of previous years.

That is to say, the business of the grain store is still good, but because of the war this year, the price of grain has risen a bit, and the grain accumulated by the Zhao family has been sold at a good price.

Everyone in the Zhao family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Now, the fifth prince's concubine's store has launched this fresh peanut oil. He asked a clerk to buy a pound of this oil, tried it in the store, and it turned out to be fried The taste of the dishes was more than [-]% stronger than the original one, so he hurried to buy oil, he felt that this was an opportunity for him and for Ke Ruyun, an excellent opportunity for Ke Ruyun to restore the previous grandeur , he must seize this opportunity, and it would be best if he could win the long-term cooperation with the fifth prince and concubine. A lot of.

Thinking about the business and the owner's entrustment, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "Okay, then at this price, I will order a thousand catties first, and it will be delivered to the store tomorrow, and we will pay the silver and deliver the goods."

The shopkeeper of the oil shop looked embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Zhao, it's not that I don't want to earn your money, but that we only sell two or three hundred catties of oil in one day, and the shopkeeper specifically asked us not to accept orders for three days. Just let as many people as possible try this peanut oil, don’t say we don’t have the thousand catties you want, even two or three hundred catties I can’t just sell it to you!”

The guest Ruyun came to the shopkeeper so angry that he was about to slap the table, he had never seen anyone who would not do business!
But after being angry for a while, he regained his senses, "Tell me a real price, how much will you sell your oil for a catty in three days?"

"Who's right? The owner didn't say anything. He only said that the price will definitely increase, but no one knows how much it will increase!"

In the end, shopkeeper Zhao could only be aggrieved and ordered a thousand catties of oil at a price of [-] Wen. Oh, the peanut oil will be delivered tomorrow. Each person can only buy up to two catties of oil at a time.

Two catties of oil can do a fart!

He can only pay more money to buy more oil, not only that, but when the thousand catties are used up, he will probably have to suffer from this aggrieved...
