The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 20 The Profit Margin of MSG

"Is this why you prepared last time and asked me to help you buy shrimp skins? I didn't mention that shrimp skins can still make such a good condiment. If you sell this condiment to those high-ranking officials, then you will really have a lot of money Come in." Luo Tong said excitedly.

Cheng Tieniu and the others don't have the time to listen to Luo Tong looking forward to the future.What they are busy doing now is to fill their stomachs with all the delicacies in front of them.Because they are so delicious, there is no way for them to stop.

"Eat slowly, I created this seasoning and taste, so I can't eat it in the future. I will make a lot of delicacies in the future, you just wait and taste it slowly." Li Tai said with a smile.

After everyone left, Li Tai began to think about it.If you want to use monosodium glutamate, you can accumulate huge wealth for yourself.That's impossible because of the way MSG is made soon.It will be mastered by others, after all, the way of making MSG is too simple.

So Li Tai had to find another way to make money.One is that only if you master the production method, others cannot imitate it in a short period of time. Only in this way can you guarantee that you can earn enough money.

In the evening, Zou Fengchi took his family and moved to Tiance's mansion.Li Tai arranged for him to live in his small courtyard.And called Zou Fengchi to his room.

"Since you've moved here, you can stay here with peace of mind. I'm not the kind of cruel person. As long as you serve me wholeheartedly, I will never treat you badly." Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi who was standing beside him. Said.

"His Royal Highness King Wei can rest assured, since I have chosen to serve King Wei, I will definitely do it wholeheartedly, and everything will be based on King Wei's interests." Zou Fengchi said salutingly.

"Taste the dish in front of you, and feel the difference from the ones you used to eat. After eating, tell me how you feel." Li Tai pointed to the dish on the table in front of him, and said to Zou Fengchi.

Zou Fengchi was not polite either, he directly picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.Soon Zou Fengchi discovered that the taste of this dish was much more delicious than usual.

"His Royal Highness, this dish tastes much better than the ones I have eaten before. It seems that His Royal Highness's chef should be a famous chef." Zou Fengchi didn't expect that it was because of the condiments .It's just subconsciously thinking that the chefs in Tiance's mansion are not ordinary.

"This dish was not made by a famous chef, but cooked by the kitchen staff. It's just that the king asked him to add a seasoning called monosodium glutamate to the dish." Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi.

To say that this Zou Fengchi is definitely a born businessman.After hearing Li Tai's words, he immediately found a business opportunity from it, and then said to Li Tai: "If it is really as His Royal Highness King Wei said, then this seasoning is exquisite, and there will be great business opportunities."

"As expected of the person selected by this king, he discovered the business opportunity so quickly. You are right, what this king asked you to do is to produce and sell this monosodium glutamate. But at the beginning, I hope you will It is sold to dignitaries, because only they can afford the high price." Li Tai said.

"It can improve the taste of dishes to such an extent. Then the manufacturing price of this monosodium glutamate must be expensive. I am afraid that ordinary people really can't afford it, so His Royal Highness King Wei chose to open up the market among the dignitaries. It is definitely The right choice." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't say anything, but just handed a piece of paper full of words to Zou Fengchi.The paper says exactly how this MSG is made.It's just not the MSG that we commonly use in later generations.Instead, it uses shrimp skin and shiitake mushrooms, homemade earthy MSG.

"His Royal Highness, the price of these two raw materials is not expensive. If it is really possible to use them to make such a condiment, then the profit will be really astonishing." After seeing the production method, Zou Fengchi was surprised Said.

"Although the profit is indeed huge. But it won't be long before many people can produce MSG. After all, its production method is too simple. At that time, we have no advantage, so it must be in a short time. Use this monosodium glutamate to make a lot of wealth, and then use this wealth to do other businesses." Li Tai said.

"His Highness King Wei is right. The manufacturing process of this MSG is indeed too simple. I will find a way to add a certain sense of mystery to this MSG. In this way, the production method of MSG will not be revealed in a short time. Yes. It's just that I don't know what price His Royal Highness King Wei is going to sell this monosodium glutamate." Zou Fengchi said.

Li Tai pointed to a small bottle on the table, and then said to Zou Fengchi, "I'm going to sell this small bottle of monosodium glutamate for a tael of silver. Although the price is a bit expensive, I believe those dignitaries won't care about it." A little money."

"One tael of silver is definitely an astronomical sum for the common people. But for those dignitaries, it is really nothing. Just let them know the benefits of this MSG. I believe they will rush to buy it. " Zou Fengchi said confidently.

"I have 1000 taels of silver here, and you use it as start-up capital. First, find a shop in Chang'an East City, and find a safe place to use it as a workshop for the production of MSG. And you must strictly control the workers you hire. Otherwise, the production method of this MSG will be leaked soon." Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi.

After Zou Fengchi took the silver, he looked excitedly at Li Tai in front of him.Up to now, the last grievance between Zou Fengchi and Li Tai has disappeared.

It turned out that Li Tai controlled his wife and children in Tiance Mansion.Zou Fengchi was very dissatisfied, but when he saw Li Tai, he gave him 1000 taels of silver.Finally understand why Li Tai would do this.After all, such a large sum of money was handed over to a stranger.No one will worry about changing it.

Zou Fengchi left with the money, and Li Tai told him before leaving.I will not let Zou Fengchi contribute for free.[-]% of Zou Fengchi's operating profits will go to Zou Fengchi.This made Zou Fengchi even more motivated.That night, Zou Fengchi began to get busy.He wants to deliver MSG to the market as quickly as possible.

During dinner, Li Shimin also felt that the dishes tonight were different from the past.So he said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "The cook has changed in the mansion, this cook's skills are pretty good."

"I don't know too well, but today's dishes do taste different." Changsun Wugou said in puzzlement.Then the eunuch in charge of Tiance Mansion was called over.

"My lord, my concubine, there is no change of chef in the kitchen. It's just that the second son sent a kind of seasoning to the kitchen today. With the seasoning sent by the second son, the dishes that are made have the same taste as they are now." The eunuch in charge reported back road.
