Chapter 335
Su Chen sat down slowly and looked at Li You. "How much do you plan to sell pork for per pound?"
Li Chengqian also sat down to see if this fifth brother had any talent for business.
Li You didn't think twice and held up two fingers, "Brother-in-law, I roughly calculated that a pig weighing 200 kilograms can sell about 100 kilograms of pork.
Besides, the cost of raising pigs, ordinary people may need seven to eight months to raise them to 150 kilograms.
Therefore, 20 wen per kilogram of pork is just right."
Su Chen nodded, thinking that the price Li You said was very appropriate. At the beginning, the minimum wage for the people was also 25 wen.
"What is the current price of mutton in the Tang Dynasty?" Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"Cattle and sheep in the Tang Dynasty are scarce, so the price is extremely high, about three to four guan." Li Chengqian answered after thinking.
"Okay, according to the price you said, what is the price of piglets?" Su Chen made a slight comparison and found that the price of beef and mutton was about 300 wen per kilogram.
"100 wen, it takes about 40 days for piglets to be weaned, and each piglet weighs about 10 jin."
Li You had already considered all of this, and when Su Chen asked, he could answer without thinking.
"Well, kid, you are really suitable for raising pigs, and you have a promising future!"
Su Chen gave a thumbs up and praised him seriously.
Li Chengqian and Su Jin laughed so hard.
"Well, brother-in-law, Jin'er and I will split the money 30% and 70%, what do you think?" Li You bent his waist, rubbed his hands, and walked towards Su Chen and asked carefully.
Su Chen felt that he looked very funny and nodded.
"Well, it's okay. You take 70% and Jin'er takes 30%. "
Su Chen thought for a while and continued, "Start advertising in the newspaper tomorrow. Leshan Restaurant will launch new dishes. There will be free tasting quota within three days."
"I will arrange for someone to find a store for you in the next two days, and then kill the pig and sell pork in five days."
Li You waved his hand and refused quickly, "Brother-in-law, I mean I take 30% and Jin'er takes 70%. "
"Boy, that's what you deserve. Don't shirk it. Just do as I say."
Su Chen felt very comfortable calling others "boy"!
"No wonder His Majesty keeps calling me "boy!"
"Boy, do you have any questions?"
"Brother-in-law, can pork dishes be promoted in the newspaper? I will go to the newspaper office to submit an article to teach people how to raise pigs someday."
Li You really loves what he does.
He thinks of everything, without any omissions!
"Okay, I'll go to the study to write later." After saying that, Su Chen got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait, there's one more important thing I haven't mentioned yet!
After that, we need a separate pigpen for the sows. Now we have more than 160 vacant pigpens, but the space is too large to be used as a sow delivery room.
So we need to build two more pig pens for sows to give birth."
Each pig pens now has two rows of pig pens and an aisle in the middle, totaling 80 large pig pens.
It's hard to keep piglets warm in winter because the space is too large.
"That makes sense. Just go find the housekeeper Wang Xi and tell him what to do."
Then Su Chen remembered one thing. There was no brush in the ceramic squat toilet in the shower.
"By the way, keep the pig hair from slaughtering pigs in the future. I want to make a brush to clean the toilet."
"Okay!"
"Well, I'm leaving now."
"Brother-in-law, let's go to the study."
Su Chen called Li Chengqian and walked towards the study.
...
The two of them came to the study in sync, picked up paper and pen and started writing.
About five minutes later.
"What did you write?" Su Chen finished writing first, and asked after Li Chengqian finished writing.
"Report your idea of building a reservoir to my father." Li Chengqian folded the letter, stood up and walked outside.
"Tsk, who can build a reservoir now?" Su Chen muttered disdainfully.
Then he thought about it, wondering if this advertisement could catch up with tomorrow's newspaper.
"Let's try."
He walked out of the study and asked the servant to send it to the person in charge of the printing factory.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the main task progress reward:
Ancient yellow mud water white sugar refining technology.
The item has been distributed to the system space, please check! ]
Su Chen had just returned to the study, and the main task reward that had not been heard for nearly half a year suddenly sounded.
"Huh? What triggered the progress reward? School? Books?"
Su Chen heard a few days ago that the two Zhenguan bookstores in Chang'an were selling very well.
Although there were newspapers promoting it in advance, the people still didn't believe it.
In the first few days after the opening, some scholars didn't dare to enter the store, but later some brave ones "risked their lives" to visit the store.
After asking, they learned the exact price of the books, and the scene after that can be imagined.
The family's papermaking and printing factories in other states have not received any news, after all, the journey is long.
In addition, the first batch of papermaking raw materials needs to be soaked for more than half a month, so the new paper and books,It shouldn't be on the market so soon.
"Well, today should be a full month since the school started. It seems that it is because the school was established."
Su Chen nodded silently, thinking that his guess should be correct.
"White sugar? The cakes I have eaten seem to have the taste of brown sugar.
Yes, there was sugarcane in the Qin Dynasty, and there is no way that there was no brown sugar in the Tang Dynasty." Su Chen said to himself.
"Brother-in-law, what did you say just now?"
At this time, Li Chengqian happened to return to the study and heard Su Chen talking about white sugar.
"Let me ask you, is there sugarcane in the Tang Dynasty?" Su Chen was not sure when the name of sugarcane came into being.
"Of course there is. Sugarcane has existed since the pre-Qin period.
It's just that it was called 'Ganzhe' at that time. You have eaten it too. The pastry is wrapped in Ganjiang."
Su Chen was relieved when he heard this, and there was no need to give examples.
"Then do you know how to make yellow mud water?" Su Chen asked tentatively.
Yellow mud water is made of kaolin, lime and charcoal ash. After mixing, the kaolin in the yellow mud has a strong adsorption and precipitation effect.
It is also simple to extract white sugar. The sugarcane is cleaned and crushed, and the sugarcane juice is filtered out to remove the obvious impurities visible to the naked eye.
Then add yellow mud water and stir it slightly, and then let it stand to make the sugarcane juice clear by adsorption and precipitation.
Finally, the excess water is evaporated by heating. As the water gradually decreases, the sugar concentration in the sugarcane juice will increase rapidly, and finally it will condense into white sugar crystals.
After a low-temperature drying process, pure white white granulated sugar is finally obtained.
If Li Chengqian can do it, there is no need to wait for Li Tai to come back.
The yellow mud water production system comes with it. After reading the instructions, Su Chen can also make it himself. The steps and processes are not complicated.
But Su Chen still confirmed it first because he doesn't like to do it himself.
"I haven't heard of it." Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Then do you know where there is sugarcane in Chang'an?" Su Chen continued to ask.
"There is no sugarcane in Chang'an. Have you heard of Lingnan Road? Lingnan Road is divided into Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road. Sugarcane is mainly grown in Lingnan West Road."
"I know this. One is Guangdong and the other is Guangxi."
Su Chen smiled when he heard this. The often mentioned exile to Lingnan refers to Guangdong.
"You don't know anything. I'd better ask Li Tai for help."
Li Chengqian: "￥%...&*......!"
