The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu was not worried about the impact on the egg market. The more places that needed eggs, the higher the price of eggs would be. When ordinary people saw the profit, they would think about raising chickens.

What Li Fu was worried about was the locust plague.

If ordinary people in all the counties around Chang'an City, and even in more distant places, raised chickens, it might have a positive effect.

Once a locust plague occurred, the price of grain would be pushed up, and ordinary people who raised chickens at home could make some money by selling eggs. Even if they could not afford to buy grain, if they were really hungry, they could kill and eat their chickens at home, which would be temporarily useful, at least to ensure that they would not starve to death for a period of time.

Therefore, Li Fu felt that it was a good idea to expand the scope of ordinary people raising chickens around Chang'an by using the rigid demand for eggs, which would kill two birds with one stone.

Anyway, they all needed eggs.

Let Yin Fei's father do this business. As for how long the recipe of tea eggs could be kept secret, it would depend on his ability and luck.

There is no business that is guaranteed to make money for a lifetime. The market will give you the most realistic response.

At present, Li Fu only needs to make this matter go away, let Yin Ashu make money, and keep the shop for the time being.

As for the fact that his business can't continue in three to five months, or even a year or two, that is his own problem, and it has nothing to do with others.

No matter how much he blames, he can't blame himself.

Considering these, Li Fu plans to give him the recipe of tea eggs.

Anyway, this thing is very simple. If you eat it a lot, you can figure it out by yourself at home. This transformed egg is different.

The technical content of the transformed egg is only a little more than that of the tea egg, but no one has made up their mind to study it.

Li Yuan picked up the tea egg in the bowl and observed it carefully.

The eunuch beside him looked at Li Yuan cautiously, wanting to find an opportunity to remind the emperor that this thing has not been tested yet.

But Li Yuan didn't care at all. He was confident that his nephew would not harm him.

He peeled a tea egg and took a bite gently.

"Well, it has the freshness of eggs, and you can also taste some spices." Li Yuan said: "This tea egg is not cheap to make, especially because it needs some spices."

"As expected of you, you know the goods." Li Fu said with a smile: "This thing is no worse than a perverted egg."

"Yin Fei, you heard it, this thing is no worse than a perverted egg. I don't know how much money the perverted egg business makes in Chang'an City. Let your father go out and ask more.

Now there is this tea egg business for your father to do, your father should cherish it."

At this point, Yin Fei also understood.

The way, the emperor has found it, and how to make money in the real business depends on your ability.

This tea egg is also the only one brought into the palace by King Jingyang. No one outside has the recipe except King Jingyang's house.

If you can't make money with this unique business, no one can help you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, King Jingyang." Concubine Yin smiled and bowed to Li Fu.

Li Fu quickly bowed in return.

"In that case, I will find paper and pen to write down the recipe." Li Fu said.

"Okay." Li Yuan responded.

The more he looked at Li Fu, the more he liked him.

This matter was considered as a favor he owed to someone, after all, it was such a big business.

In Li Yuan's view, the egg-changing business was already so profitable. It was only 10% profit, and the money sent to the palace was not small. Now there was another tea egg, which must be as profitable as the egg-changing business.

And such a profitable business was given to Yin Ashu by Li Fu just because he wanted to help Concubine Yin's family. This was really a bit of a debt to Li Fu.

But for Li Fu, making money with this was really not as good as the egg-changing business.

After all, the transformed egg is a dish, while the tea egg is just a side dish on the breakfast table. Apart from eating it directly, there is nothing else you can do with it.

So tea eggs can make money, but it will definitely not make money like transformed eggs.

Li Fu found a table, sat on a chair, picked up a pen and started writing the recipe.

After writing it, he handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took a look at the recipe of the tea egg, and as he expected, it still needed spices.

But there was also soy sauce.

This soy sauce.......

Li Yuan lowered his eyes, and he remembered that before at Li Fu's farm, the uncle and nephew talked about clear sauce, and Li Fu said he wanted to study some clear sauce himself.

And now, there is already a soy sauce workshop at Jingyang Wang's farm.

The raw materials for pickled tea eggs still need to be obtained from Li Fu.Some.

In addition, there is refined salt.

Refined salt is too expensive. Although the court is gradually trying to make some changes in the salt industry, no results have been seen so far. Even the new salt-making method that Li Fu presented to the court is only a small-scale attempt and has not been announced in a big way.

Concubine Yin also looked at the recipe on the side.

When she saw the soy sauce, she asked directly the doubts in her heart.

"Prince Jingyang, what is this soy sauce?" Concubine Yin asked.

"It is a condiment. I discussed the clear sauce with the emperor. It is an improved version of the clear sauce." Li Fu said.

"Then, can I buy it on the market?" Concubine Yin asked again.

"At present, only the farm in Jingyang County can produce some." Li Fu said: "This is also after I came back from Huizhou, I heard people in the farm say that the soy sauce was successfully brewed, so I thought of making some tea eggs to try."

Speaking of which, Li Fu was just in a whim to make tea eggs. He was idle at home, so he asked Shitou to get some soy sauce from the farm and asked the people in the kitchen to cook some tea eggs at home.

After making it, he thought about it and decided to send some to the emperor.

As for giving the recipe to Concubine Yin and asking her to take it to her family to do business, it was completely because the emperor mentioned it, and he gave it on a whim.

In terms of ingredients, he really didn't think so much.

If you want to use it, just buy it from the farm at the market price.

In addition, Li Fu didn't want the pricing power of tea eggs, which was decided by them.

As for Li Fu making it for himself, Yin Ashu couldn't control it.

"That is to say, no one outside has the recipe, and the raw materials in the recipe are difficult for outsiders to get. However, you can go to the soy sauce workshop in Jingyang County to purchase the goods at the market price, and then the shop assistants can deliver them to Chang'an City. However, if you ask the shop assistants in the workshop to deliver it specially, you have to pay extra money. If you organize your own people to go to the workshop in the farm to meet them, you can naturally save this money." Li Fu said with a smile.
