Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Recently, if there is anything in Beijing that people are most concerned about, there is nothing more than the new peanut oil released by Wanfeng Grain.

This new cooking oil is not only cheap, but also very fragrant, and even ordinary farmers who are not very wealthy can afford it.

In the past, they were reluctant to add salt to their cooking, let alone oil and water. It was rare to eat a little oil almost all year round. Many dishes were boiled in plain water and eaten immediately.

But now with affordable and delicious peanut oil, they can finally taste the taste of cooking with oil.

Therefore, since the appearance of peanut oil, it has been warmly welcomed by the people.

But in just two days, all the peanut oil in stock in Zhuangzi was sold out.

Looking at the newly entered money, Manager Jia was overjoyed.

He divided the farmers into three shifts to extract oil, and then went to the princess to discuss the purchase of peanuts.

Although Zhuangzi planted a lot of peanuts this year, the amount of peanuts needed for oil extraction is huge. Now more than half of the peanuts stored in the warehouse have been consumed. According to the current consumption rate, it may not be long before it bottoms out.

Manager Jia hopes to take advantage of the current momentum of peanut oil to buy more peanuts quickly, so that more oil can be squeezed and more money can be sold.

Hua Manman agreed without much hesitation.

It happened that they made a lot of money selling peanut oil, and they could use the money to buy peanuts.

Manager Jia is a very efficient person.

On the same day, he personally took people to several nearby villages to buy peanuts.

Farmers these days mainly grow rice and wheat. Not only are these two kinds of grains their staple food, but also these two kinds of grains are the main food collected by the imperial court.

The number of farmers willing to vacate their fields to grow peanuts is actually very small.

Manager Jia went all over several villages, and only collected more than 500 catties of peanuts.

Aside from his disappointment, he did not forget to tell the farmers that they needed a lot of peanuts in their farms, and hoped that the farmers would consider planting more peanuts when planting next year.

Because the distance is relatively close, the farmers in these villages all know the identity of Manager Jia, and they know that he is not the kind of person who will talk nonsense.

As a result, many farmers were persuaded, and they really planned to allocate a piece of their own field for peanut cultivation.

There are also some farmers with more clever minds who directly discuss with Manager Jia.

"Can the peanuts that my family sells to you be directly replaced with peanut oil?"

They knew that the peanut oil of Wanfeng Trading Company in the city was very popular, and people lined up to buy it every day, and even some wealthy families sent servants to buy in large quantities.

Ordinary farmers like them who live outside the city may not be able to buy peanut oil even if they go to the city early in the morning to queue up to buy.

If they can get peanut oil from Manager Jia, they can save a lot of trouble.

Manager Jia did not directly agree to this matter, but only said that he would consider it.

After he returned to Zhuangzi, he told Princess Zhao about this and asked her for an idea.

Hua Manman readily agrees.

"Yes you can."

With the concubine's consent, Guanshi Jia made arrangements with confidence.

He told those farmers that the peanuts sent can be converted into peanut oil for them according to the market price.

The farmers are naturally extremely happy.

Knowing that peanuts can be directly exchanged for peanut oil, more farmers immediately made up their minds to plant peanuts in their fields in the coming year.

Seeing that peanut oil is selling so hot, it's not like no one in the city is interested in it.

But when they heard that the owner behind the peanut oil was Princess Zhao, they stopped thinking about it.

Who in Shangjing doesn't know how terrifying King Zhao is?

No one would dare to provoke him unless he was tired of work.

Making money is of course important, but the premise must also be life-saving.

Hua Manman staggered to find King Zhao with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hands.

"My lord, can you do me a favor?"

Li Ji was practicing his sword. Hearing this, he flicked the long sword, and the tip of the sword drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and fell into the scabbard impartially.

He took the veil from the servant, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said casually.

"Say it."

Hua Manman begged eagerly.

"I would like to ask you to help me write two characters, which is Wanfeng."

Li Ji looked at her with a half-smile: "What do you want my words for?"

Huamanman told the truth.

"I plan to order a batch of jars for peanut oil, and I will print your words on them when the time comes.

In this way, our peanut oil has its own mark and cannot be easily replaced by others. "

Squeezing peanut oil is not an advanced and difficult technology. Experts only need to work hard and ponder it, and they will be able to figure it out soon.

She even suspected that someone had secretly figured out how to squeeze peanut oil.

It's just that due to the prestige of King Zhao, no one dared to jump out to grab the business of Wanfeng Grain Company.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Money touches people's hearts, and sooner or later someone will be impatient and want a piece of it.

What's more, Hua Manman never thought of monopolizing the peanut oil business.

There are so many people in the world who want to eat oil, it is impossible for her to feed all the people in the world by relying on a Zhuangzi and a Wanfeng trading company.

Taking a step back, even if she can really do that.

What awaits her in the end may not end well.

One shouldn't be too greedy. With her current status, it would be nice to make a small fortune.

Li Ji heard her heartfelt voice, and smiled lightly: "You are alert."

Hua Manman thought that he was boasting about his mark on the packaging of the factory products, and his smile became more flattering.

"It's the prince who taught me well."

Li Ji threw away the veil, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and the tip of the brush moved quickly on the rice paper.

The two big characters "Wanfeng" were quickly written.

The pen is vigorous and vigorous.

Just looking at it has the aura of gold and iron horses.

Hua Manman's eyes lit up: "My lord's handwriting is really beautiful!"

For her admiration, Li Ji expressed that she was very useful.

He picked up the sword again.

"Come to practice with me for a while?"

Hua Manman immediately remembered the fear of being rubbed against the ground by King Zhao, and quickly backed away: "No, no, I have other things to do, so I won't delay your sword practice."

After she finished speaking, she ran away in a hurry.

Looking at that hurried back, it seemed like he was running away.

Li Ji laughed lightly, heh!

On the second day, Hua Manman got the samples from the kiln.

The round white porcelain jar has a clean surface without any patterns, only the word "Wanfeng" is printed on it.

Very concise and clear.

As long as people see it, they will involuntarily remember the word Wanfeng.

And because King Zhao's handwriting is very unique, it is difficult to imitate.

That's what makes it even more special.

The kiln owner rubbed his hands and stood beside him waiting, feeling uneasy.

He really wanted to make this deal, but he was afraid that Princess Zhao would not like his family's craftsmanship.

It wasn't until he saw Princess Zhao nodded that he was greatly relieved.
