Chapter 28 Start

"How? Your money won't be wasted, will it?"

In the box of Rongsheng Pavilion, when Lu Weimang came, without saying a word, he asked the housekeeper to take out the snowflake salt he brought, and let Qin Xuan see their future transactions.

Qin Xuan took it with some doubts, and poured out a little on the plate in front of him.

"Isn't this white sugar? Wei Wei, what does this mean? Could it be that we will start a white sugar business in the future? I heard that white sugar is very profitable, and there is no market for the price. It is very good for us to do this. However, there is no large piece of sugarcane in Kyoto to make." Tang, we can't get out, isn't it inconvenient?"

Qin Xuan said, scratching his head a little.The white sugar business is indeed hugely profitable, but didn’t Wei Wei say yesterday that it’s not in the production area, they have no advantage.

Lu Weimang rolled her eyes, of course she knew that she was going to build a sugar workshop in the sugar cane production area in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, although the workshop was built in the end and had nothing to do with her.

"Don't just say it, try it first."

Lu Weimang looked at Qin Xuan and said.

Seeing Lu Weimang's calm expression, Qin Xuan picked up a little bit with his chopsticks and sent it to his mouth with some doubts.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, "Bah, bah, bah! Wei Wei, this is salt."

Lu Weimang nodded, and the steward Lu behind her also held his head up, standing behind his young lady with a complacent expression on his face.

This snowflake salt is their only business, maybe their Lu family will also become a wealthy family in the future?At that time, he must bring more money when he goes out.Considering that he was forced to eat wontons for so many days because he was penniless, Steward Lu couldn't help but burst into tears.It was really unpalatable.

"What happened to the salt?"

Qin Xuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Weimang, as if seeking a solution.

The housekeeper was proud of this business at the moment, how could he tolerate Young Master Qin like this, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to distinguish clearly from Third Young Master Qin.

"Mr. Qin, do you know what kind of salt is in the market?"

Qin Xuan looked innocent, "I know, it's coarse salt and bamboo salt. We use bamboo salt at home. But this kind of salt is not easy to make, and the materials are exquisite, so the only small amount produced every year, except for the tribute, the rest , it’s not enough for all major households in Beijing. And I heard that bamboo salt has a price but no market, and some wealthy merchants are willing to pay 100 taels for a catty of salt, but they can’t get it.”

Lu Weimang heard the price of 100 taels a catty of bamboo salt, raised his eyebrows, and calmly gestured for the salt he brought with his chin, "Then what do you think, how does my salt compare with bamboo salt?"

Qin Xuan is a sincere person, scratching his head at the moment, and said, "Although it looks like it, the taste is similar, it seems to be relatively pure salt. But after all, bamboo salt has a great reputation, and it has three years old Nan Bamboo is fired, and pine branches have to be fired. It is said that it was first refined as a elixir. It is hard to come by, and the price is higher, which is why. Your salt, this, should be better than the salt in the world. It’s better, but I’ve never heard of it, and it’s far less famous, so it’s hard to compare the price.”

After hearing Qin Xuan's words, Lu Weimang's eyes lit up, "Okay, Qin Xuan, you've got your point. You don't know, let me tell you, our salt is Snowflake Salt, which is from the Snow Mountains of the Western Regions. It is extracted from unique minerals, and it is produced in the same place as snow lotus and cordyceps. It is good to eat more or less. Although the output is not bad, the distance is long and the transportation is not easy, so the price is only one tenth of bamboo salt, a little It's a little expensive, but some basic families in the city can afford it, and it's also a good gift for Chinese New Year and festivals."

Lu Weimang said that he was spitting out lotus flowers, but Qin Xuan and Lu Butler's mouths twitched a little. They bought this salt together yesterday. Although they don't know how Lu Weimang turned it into snow-like crystal salt, but they talked so casually. Is it a bit too much.

Seeing the unnatural expressions of the two, Lu Weimang scolded iron and steel, "Look at the ineffectiveness of you two, it's also salt, people buy a hundred taels, and you have to pay the price, we only sell one-tenth, you two Feeling guilty? Besides, if you don’t tell me or I don’t tell you, who knows where the salt came from? If I had known that I went to buy salt secretly by myself, I would have surprised you today.”

Qin Xuan and Steward Lu looked at each other, but Steward Lu hesitated and said, "Miss, you are right, this snowflake salt is not ordinary just by looking at it, but we can sell it for one or two, right? Earn less!"

Qin Xuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Lu Weimang sighed, "Qin Xuan, thanks to the fact that I praised you just now, you also said that bamboo salt is hard to come by, so a thousand pieces of gold are hard to come by. Is this really the case? It's just a gimmick, let's find a gimmick, why not?" No. Let me ask you, does our salt taste good? High quality? Good looking?”

Qin Xuan nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Our salt is not for ordinary people to buy. Ordinary people have coarse salt to eat, even if our snowflake salt is only [-]% more expensive than coarse salt, they still have to consider whether to buy it. So, if we want to sell, we sell it to rich people. For them, there is not much difference between buying a catty of salt for one tael or ten taels. Sometimes the more expensive the more sought after, the more expensive people feel that they have more face, don’t they? ?”

Qin Xuan was stunned, and Steward Lu nodded accordingly.

"Okay, now that we have reached an agreement on pricing, then, the next step is to make and sell it."

It was the first time Qin Xuan was treated like an adult, and he arranged his work plan step by step, so he was also very active.

"My mother owns a few shops on Duty Street. That street is full of people of considerable status. It's the most suitable place to sell our snowflake salt."

Lu Weimang nodded, a child can be taught.

"The production is here, you should come."

Qin Xuan said.

In ancient times, one trick was popular all over the world, and a recipe was often kept secret. It was not uncommon for it to be passed on to the male but not to the female, and it was not uncommon to have the formula locked in the concierge.

Therefore, Qin Xuan's proposal was also to avoid suspicion.

Lu Weimang felt relieved, but couldn't help but sighed. Originally, according to Lu Weimang's idea, he wanted Qin Xuan to take care of both production and sales.But now the Lu family needs this income, and what Cheng Mo did before also pierced a thorn in Lu Weimang's heart.

She doesn't like this feeling of not being open.

"That's how it is. I'll be purchasing table salt in large quantities recently, and I'll work overtime to make a batch of snowflake salt, which will be handed over to you for sale at that time. In order not to attract attention and unnecessary troubles, the purchase of table salt may be delayed. I need your help, such as Shiobiki, after all, the market buys table salt in large quantities, and it would be bad if someone associates coarse salt with snowflake salt."

Qin Xuan nodded, "You're right. When I go back, I'll ask the housekeeper to transfer the salt from the Yantian to Beijing, so that you won't be exposed by buying in large quantities."

The two parties agreed to move quickly.

Lu Weimang's most indispensable thing here is someone who can keep it secret to make snowflake salt.This is what Lu Qingshan said yesterday. The old men with short arms and short legs that he has raised these years are usually just waiting for the elderly in the mansion to die. Now someone needs to come forward and come up with a level of confidentiality under militarized management These people are the best candidates for the higher-level workshops.

Strong ability, good discipline, not to mention loyalty.

So, on the outskirts of Kyoto, construction began on a simple and empty courtyard of the Lu family. The walls were raised, manpower was trained, etc., and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Qin Xuan was not idle here, he first asked the steward to enter the salt, which was a matter of one sentence for the Qinhou's mansion, because the third young master kept it secret, so the steward personally found his confidant to do it, and he was very worried. But he didn't take it seriously, he just wanted to say the third young master's order when the master had time.

The shops on Duty Street are even simpler, just find the nurse in charge in front of my mother and ask her to give orders.The nanny followed suit right away, and informed Mrs. Qin Hou of Qin Xuan's order, but in the large Qinhou Mansion, such a trivial matter is not even as small as a sesame mung bean. There is no follow-up.

Everything is going well here for Qin Xuan, and Lu Weimang is also doing well there.

Those veterans were usually bored, and now they had the opportunity to do things again, and they were beaten like chicken blood. In just three days, they learned the process taught by Lu Weimang, and used the assembly line without a teacher. According to the law, one person is responsible for one link, which not only helps to keep secrets, but also improves efficiency.

Three days later, a shop selling snowflake salt opened quietly on Taxation Street.

Where are the secrets in this world?Not to mention being on Tax Street.

Seeing that the shop under the name of the Marquis of Qin’s mansion started selling snowflake salt, and it was transported over a long distance from the Western Regions, some people in the city knew about it. It's on the right track.

After all, bamboo salt is rare and expensive.To be honest, it’s not a top honorable businessman, it’s hard to use it, 100 taels per catty, a house, dozens of mouths up and down, the amount of salt used every day is amazing.Even if the servants are not worthy to use it, it is only used by the master, or when entertaining guests, it will cost a lot in a year.

Now, with better quality?Inexpensive substitutes, people who just tried it at the beginning, most of them later became regular customers of snowflake salt.

The pricing of snowflake salt made it quickly occupy a small half of the market in the capital salt industry.

Over the past few months, people in Kyoto have become accustomed to the existence of snowflake salt, and have divided the salt into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

The best bamboo salt, a tribute item, has a price but no market, and is exclusive to the present and top dignitaries.

Medium snowflake salt is the choice of noble officials and wealthy businessmen.Although it's not as profitable as bamboo salt, it can't hold up to a large quantity.

The lowest level is of course coarse salt, the first choice of the people in Kyoto, the quantity is huge and cannot be counted.

However, when some of the common people are in good times, they will also prepare a pack of snowflake salt, which can also be used to decorate the facade when occasionally entertaining guests.
