Soy beans are used to make bean rice, bean leaves for cooking, and tofu after grinding the pulp. It can be said to be an indispensable ration on the table of working people, but soy beans are cheap and taste bad. People who eat tofu are not good. There are quite a few, but there are three hardships in life, punting a boat to sell tofu, and there are only four tofu shops in the entire Wucheng.
Lin Yuan grabbed a handful of beans, which were not full, but fortunately they were not shriveled and barely usable.
"Master." Erliang still had no confidence, "I've heard of soybean oil extraction, but if there is money to be made, this business has already been taken up, and it's our turn?"
Lin Yuan gave two taels and one palm, not heavy, but very light. He threw a few beans into his mouth and rushed to the market vendor, saying, "How many? All of them are taken."
The vendor didn't expect this to be a big customer, so he quickly said, "There are still three hundred stones in my house! It's all from this year, no Chen!"
Three hundred stone is equal to three thousand catties. Lin Yuan nodded: "I will take them to Zhuangzi at the north entrance of the city. Can I get there in three days?"
Vendor: "It's definitely coming!"
After a verbal agreement, Lin Yuan had the raw materials.
One catty and five cents, three thousand catties equals three hundred guans, and thirty taels of silver.
Farming is not easy these days.
Lin Yuangang sighed with emotion, and a passerby laughed at him: "Thirty taels, all of them have been chewed by his family for several years. If you buy a lot, if you replace it with a tofu shop, you can give half of it."
Lin Yuan turned his head and saw a man in coarse cloth in ge robes. He was wearing a bunt, with a bulging chest and tendons all over his body. He also carried a live rabbit in his hand, and he was walking on animal leather boots. He was probably a hunter.
"Look at how much money you are stupid." Orion grinned, revealing sharp tiger teeth.
Lin Yuan also laughed: "He still has to rent a donkey cart. I'm afraid one is not enough. People have to make money, and it's not easy to come out to make a living. Three hundred shi, I'm afraid that the villagers will join together."
Orion was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect this one. He saw Lin Yuan's white face, beardless, young man, and thought he was a fool, but he had an abacus in his heart, he smiled and said, "I was wrong, little brother, you Have a good heart."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and looked at the live rabbit. He was a little greedy. He had been here for so many days and all he ate was pork. There are not many people who eat pork these days. From input to harvest, it will take at least two or three years.
The rich dislike it and are unwilling to eat it, while the poor cannot afford it and have no energy to support it.
That smell is really enough to eat once.
However, in addition to pork, it is mutton. Although the taste of Sao is different, it is the same Sao.
Large-scale pig breeding began in the Ming Dynasty.
Today's pigs are small, and they don't grow much meat. They are different from modern white and fat pigs, all of which are as black as carbon.
It is estimated that Zhu Bajie is also a black pig.
"Brother, how do you sell this rabbit?" Not only was Lin Yuan greedy, but Erliang was also greedy, but Erliang didn't dare to speak, so he stared at the rabbit and swallowed.
Lin Yuan just went to rent Zhuangzi. Because he was near the city, he didn't want anything, so the rent was cheap. The monthly rent was only 500 yuan, and the place was big enough. For two or two days, there are restaurants all over the world, and all they eat are noodles.
I happened to be taking the mother and son back today, so I made a rabbit to eat.
Lin Yuan's saliva was about to flow down.
The hunter grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted it up. The rabbit's limbs were still wiggling, trying to escape from imprisonment. The hunter said, "I used to sell it to the neighbors, most of them for thirty cents a piece, this one is quite fat, I count you three. Fifteen texts."
Lin Yuan: "It's done!"
Say it and pay.
After the money and goods were sold, Lin Yuan asked the hunter, "Brother, is the business doing well now?"
The hunter shook his head, his brows furrowed: "There's nothing to hunt on the mountain. I spent a day on the mountain yesterday, and it's just this rabbit."
Lin Yuan: "Change your business?"
Orion sighed: "I have this strength, I am illiterate, and my mouth is stupid. If I change my livelihood, I can do coolies at most."
Working as a coolie in the city is all about casual work. It is tiring and hard work to settle the money and carry heavy objects that day. The owner doesn’t care about meals.
"So, eldest brother, it's fate to meet each other, I have a job, and now that everything is ready, it's time to send someone." Lin Yuan hurriedly promoted his oil factory, "The monthly salary is two hundred wen, if you do a good job, you can still do it. Take a bonus."
Orion didn't know why: "Is it a bonus?"
Lin Yuan: "Even if you earn more, give points to the guys."
Orion understood: "You and I don't know each other..."
Lin Yuan: "It's fate to meet you from thousands of miles away!"
Look at the tendon meat, such a man, for manual work, it is gleaming gold.
Orion found that the young man had been looking at his chest. He looked down and found that his pectoral muscles were very obvious. When he looked up at Lin Yuan, his expression was a bit strange. I heard that the rich sons have special hobbies, and some like to find themselves. Such a strong man, with a strong body and a large body, can endure it on the bed.
But they are usually told by listening to the jokes of their fellow villagers.
Orion's expression is a bit wrong: "... What fate? No fate!"
After he finished speaking, he ran away like a dog behind his butt.
Lin Yuan looked at the back of the other party running away, a little confused: "He is so unwilling to work?"
It seems that this person may have a natural yearning for freedom.
Twenty or two carry rabbits, and only eat eighteen rabbits in their minds.
The mother and son of the beggar rarely have a normal life these days. Although they sleep in a broken temple, at least they have a tile on their head. They don’t have to sleep on the street. With ten pennies, they can buy two bean dregs cakes to eat every day, and they have a quilt to keep them warm— Even when they were at their best, they didn't cover the quilt, even if it was torn.
Rich people can afford it!
When Lin Yuan came to pick them up, he found that both the woman and the boy had washed their hands and feet. Although the rags on their bodies were still dirty, they were not in a condition to wash them.
"Quick, kowtow to the owner." The woman dragged the boy and knelt down together.
Lin Yuan: "Get up, stop kneeling."
The woman then pulled her son to stand up again in panic.
On the way back, Lin Yuan asked her, "Your son's name is Gouzi, what's your name?"
A woman doesn't have a big name, only a small name. She is the fourth oldest in her parents' family. When she is not married, people call her Si Ya, and when she is married, she is called the iron-headed woman.
Lin Yuan: "I'll call you Siniang."
Siniang responded quickly.
"Everything is ready, you clean up and burn this rabbit at night." Lin Yuan ordered, "Don't be reluctant to put the oil."
He bought sesame oil, 30 cents a pound, more expensive than meat.
No wonder people can't afford it.
"You live in the penthouse." Lin Yuan led the person back, "Just tell Erliang if you need anything."
After entering the wing room, Siniang and Gouzi were dumbfounded. The wing room was equipped with a table, two chairs, and then a bed and a wooden cabinet. The bed was paved and the mattress was Straw mats, but the quilts are cotton quilts, half-new and not old. They are not used in other homes. There are no new ones to keep warm, but it is enough.
"Mother." The dog didn't dare to sit on the chair, and felt that he was dirty, so he squatted on the ground and looked left and right, "It's like a dream."
Siniang didn't get much better either. She touched the quilt and the soft straw mattress, and tears the size of beans fell: "God, we have met a living Bodhisattva."
"Living Bodhisattva" Lin Yuan was worried about how to recruit people, so he went directly to the street to advertise
If you hire someone, what should you do if you make trouble for yourself
So Lin Yuan, who had a headache, asked Erliang to invite Jiang Gui over before dinner, and asked Gouzi to make Erliang rice wine.
Siniang is busy in front of the stove. When she is at home, she has to go to the ground, take care of the children, cook, and do housework. Cooking is a must-have skill. It doesn't bother her, but it makes her feel distressed for a while when the oil is drained.
How good is this oil? When she was in her hometown, she had a family of four. She only used two kilograms of oil a year. She was never willing to put more oil. Eat into the stomach.
Jiang Gui didn't come empty-handed this time, because he heard two or two about eating rabbit meat, he also specially wrapped some winter melon candy over here.
"Brother Jiang brought something to the door, why do you need to be so polite." Lin Yuan welcomed him in with a smile on his face.
Jiang Gui already smelled the fragrance, and the greedy worms in his stomach were hooked up, and he pretended to be serious and said, "I still understand the principle of courtesy and exchange."
Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui were eating in the main room, and Erliang took Siniang and the others to the side room to eat. Although there were only two stools, the table was so low that they could eat even if they squatted on the ground.
Lin Yuan told Jiang Gui that he wanted to squeeze oil: "I think so, I'm not familiar with life here, and I have to ask Brother Jiang to take care of me, so I'll give you a share, and later I'll give you 10% of how much you earn."
Nothing to do? Free money
Jiang Gui put down his chopsticks: "Little brother Lin, you just look down on my brother and I, and I'm not someone who takes advantage of me for nothing. If you have something to help me, I'm welcome to take as much as you want. If you're okay, I don't want a cent. "
"Brother is an open-minded person." Lin Yuan poured him a glass of wine, "I still have to trouble my brother about the recruitment."
Jiang Gui understood now. After all, Lin Yuan came from other places and had no foundation in Wucheng. If he wanted to recruit workers, he had to be honest.
"I can handle this." Jiang Gui said, "How many people do you want?"
Lin Yuan: "First come 20, preferably those who are strong and physically strong. They are all physical labor."
Jiang Gui smiled: "Just as I told you earlier, Chengnan is the one who carries the handle, and the people under his hand are sturdy, and their bosses are in charge. They must be honest in their work."
Lin Yuan: "...Isn't he a debt collector?"
Jiang Gui waved his hand: "Hey, it's not that you have debts every day. There are so many people under your hand who are trying to survive, including wives, children and children."
It seems that in ancient times, it was not easy to be part-time and do odd jobs in the underworld.
"That's fine, brother, you can ask the bearer out tomorrow, and let's talk." Lin Yuan said, "I'm afraid people won't believe it, so negotiate the pay in person."
Jiang Gui: "That's right. The person who carries the handle is called Brother Dao. You can call him that. He has a bad temper, but he is also straight. Then we will go to the restaurant tomorrow night to reserve a table."
Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui, the unrelated fake brothers, were full and happy.
What Lin Yuan thought was that he would not bother himself about recruiting people.
What Jiang Gui thought was that he had sold favors to both sides this time, and got the shares. There is no better deal than this.
As for whether soybean oil will lose money, he doesn't care.
Anyway, he is not at a loss.
When he was leaving, Jiang Gui was still thinking, "Why don't you come here for someone like Lin Xiaodi who is so stupid, rich, and kind-hearted?"
The author has something to say: Orion: "This man has wicked eyes! He must be coveting my body!"
Lin Yuan: "excuse me?"
Jiang Gui: "Stupid people are rich and kind-hearted, and it is a treasure in Wucheng."
Lin Yuan: "Usually when I first met, I don't cheat people."
Jiang Gui, who is about to be pitted: "..."
