Take the mall to Datang

However, compared with seafood, most employees still prefer pork and mutton, which can make them feast and eat happily.

"How did I find out that this food is so delicious." Wei Da also echoed, complaining that the crab meat was scarce while eating.

The dozens of crabs they didn't catch from the seaside just ate a few times and they were gone. They were not clean, and even Zhang Manyi only ate the meaty part, but they couldn't restrain themselves because of such delicacies.

Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper who just opened yesterday had a new idea. The shopkeeper who tried this shop in Yuanshan followed the instructions and asked someone to catch a lot of crabs. Boiled crabs It didn't take long for a new pot of crabs to be placed on the table again.

Yuan Shan just likes to try something new and doesn’t look at it much. Besides, it’s not very good if you eat too much of it. Everyone who looks at the food is full of faces and says: “There are so many seafood here. Such a good resource can’t be wasted.”

"President Yuan, do you have any plans to open a restaurant here?" Zheng Manfu asked immediately after putting down the crab, and he immediately recovered from being a foodie when he heard Yuan Shan mention business.

"Seafood is delicious but it's not easy to preserve, but there is a kind of food here that is very suitable for shipping to Chang'an, and this kind of food is a very good business because of its high quality and low price." Yuan Shan said.

"What kind of food?" Zheng Manchu asked curiously.

"Kelp." Yuan Shan said.

"What is kelp?" Zheng Manwan asked suspiciously. It was really the first time he heard Yuan Shan mention such a thing, but no matter how he thought about it, he never thought of what it was.

Yuan Shan pointed to a place by the sea and said that it was the kind of thing that was floating. Everyone turned their heads and looked at it, they were all dumbfounded and said, "Chairman Yuan is talking about Lunbu."

In ancient times, no one ate this kind of thing, and only a few of them were used to make medicine for consumption. Hearing that this kind of thing is a kind of food, Zheng Yiman and others were very surprised. The kelp that Yuan Shan said was actually not prepared, because There are many kinds of seaweed plants, and not all seaweeds can be eaten.

Yuan Shan knew that the name of the later generations was different from the present, but he didn't mean to explain it, so he continued to say: "That's right, it's the thing you call Lunbu, I don't care about it. It's called kelp, and it's a very good food that can be mixed with cold dishes and can also treat big neck diseases."

As for the explanation of iodine content, he would not explain it. It would be very troublesome to explain it this way, so he directly explained the edible effect and medical effect. Although he could see that the three people in front of him did not believe it, he would not Anyway, just find some time and let them try it out.

"Are you interested in doing this business?" Yuan Shan asked again.

These three people are hesitating because they really don't know what value this kind of thing can bring them, but this doesn't mean that they doubt Yuan Shan's words, on the contrary, they firmly believe in the money-making thing that Yuan Shan said , but the industry they are operating now seems to be a bit far from seafood.

Yuan Shan smiled and said, "That's what I'm saying. In fact, it's easy to operate such a cheap thing."

The next day when Yuan Shan woke up in the morning, he asked Yan Bei to come over and ask him to organize people to inform the fishermen that the Yuan family wanted to buy kelp, which is what they called Lunbu.

Jiang Chengwang, the governor of Cangzhou, got the news right away. Now the fishermen on the coast of Cangzhou are crazy. They never imagined that there would be people spending money to collect things that no one wanted. Lun cloth worth a penny and ten catties is cheap. Fishermen can earn dozens of catties for a few casual catches, which is more than what they earn from fishing and selling fish every day.

Many people didn't believe it at first, but later a few fishermen confirmed the information after they personally got the benefits, and the Lun cloth from Yuanshan was not the kind of wet one, but asked the fishermen to set up a pole to clean the Lun cloth. There are purchase requirements for drying in the sun, and the purchase price of dry and wet is not the same.

But even so, it is still surprising, so the Linhai area is bustling again, that is, there is an open space far away from the shore, which is specially used to dry this kind of cloth.

All the people in the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce were stunned. In just a few days, the scale of purchasing Lunbu has become somewhat uncontrollable. Yuanshan also hired hundreds of people to manage these Lunbu. A well paid job.

Just after Cangzhou knew about this matter, many people took this matter as a topic for chatting after dinner, and more people talked about it as a joke, and soon this matter was passed on by passing businessmen All the state capitals, and even many people in Chang'an already knew about this matter.

Anyway, these people can't guess what Yuanshan is going to do, but they are very interested in what the Yuan family is doing. The rich merchants in Chang'an in Cangzhou are also a little confused now. They saw the Yuan family's acquisition of Lunbu in person. Now Those things are drying in the Linhai area and occupy a large area. Not only that, the construction team of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce is still working there to build factories.

The reason why these businessmen came here during this period was to find business opportunities to make money. For this reason, they even came to Yuanshan. They didn't expect that there was actually a project that they could cooperate with. In just a few days, Yuanshan suddenly came up with such a project. When the attendant came to sleep, it also made people look forward to it when everyone was confused.

Chapter 453 The decision of the merchants

Although the merchants were very interested in Yuanshan's cheap collection of unwanted Lunbu, they paid more attention to the Cangzhou vegetable greenhouse project proposed by Yuanshan.

Originally, Yuanshan wanted to make this vegetable Dapeng by himself. There is no plastic, but glass can be used instead. Originally, he wanted to bear this part of the investment himself. After all, there are very few people in Chang'an who can afford the cost, let alone in Cangzhou. Such a poor place.

However, the businessmen came one after another, which surprised Yuanshan. When the businessmen united to find him to find business opportunities, he unceremoniously announced the vegetable greenhouse plan. The vegetable greenhouse originally located in Xinfeng County, Chang'an is now. It is very famous that the output of vegetables can meet the supply of one-third of Chang'an City, and the merchants who are the most profitable in winter are also the beneficiaries on the other hand.

Being able to eat fresh vegetables every day in winter has become something worth showing off for a rich man, so when Yuan Shan proposed this project, the businessmen were all interested, but the businessmen were not stupid at the same time. Expensive glass panels They know how expensive the vegetable greenhouses in Xinfeng County are.

However, what surprised the merchants was that Yuanshan gave a very favorable price this time, but after saying it, it also made the merchants feel a little unrealistic.

A project plan that occupies an area five times larger than the vegetable greenhouse in Xinfeng County is the reason why the merchants can't calm down, and the price of glass Yuanshan promises to be [-]% lower than the market price. Although it is [-]% lower, the scale has expanded a lot. In this way, all the wealthy businessmen were summing up for a while and did not reply immediately.

Because the price of these glasses is really too expensive, within the time given to them to think about it, Yuan Shan suddenly came up with this matter of collecting cloth, which made the rich businessman feel strange, so they all wanted to see the result How about it.

Businessmen are not very resistant to things that can make money, and now the decision is in their hands, so they are not in a hurry. Obviously, they can do it if they want to build vegetable greenhouses, but the scale of the construction plan is so huge. It cannot be achieved by a Yuan family, unless Yuanshan uses the money from building the shipyard, but that will give a very bad impression to these people who cooperate and invest, but they still have to distribute the income after the completion of the shipyard, so They were not afraid that Yuanshan would use the shipyard's funds, but if they did, the merchants would not ignore it.

Moreover, the greenhouse project will not continue, even if Yuanshan is doing any business, these businessmen may not buy it. Yuanshan knows this better than the businessmen.

Doing the Lunbu business was not actually Yuan Shan’s original intention. He just thought of it when he went drinking with Zheng Yiman and others that day. He thought, since there are such a large untapped resources, why not use them? Life is not as rich as later generations, so Yuan Shan took action.

He is not a person who likes to wait passively. Now that he thinks about it, he has to do it. At the beginning, he wanted Zheng Yifu and the others to join because he didn't want to invest too much energy in it, so it's good to have someone help, but he can also They understand what the building materials chamber of commerce means. They are indeed too busy, and the industry they are currently engaged in is not suitable for this business. Even if they join Yuanshan's plan, it is actually a temporary employment.

And he doesn't have anything to do, he might as well do it himself. To be honest, it will save a lot of trouble for the operator. This actually has a great impact on the scale of the industry that Yuanshan is currently operating. He really doesn't like this kind of small business acquisition. However, after a night of thinking, he found that his idea was wrong, and he also summed up some experience and process of making a fortune. He found that he was a bit drifting, and his mentality was not good, so he decided to manage the business himself.

The Yuan family is very famous in Cangzhou now, not because he wants to build a large shipyard in Linhai District, but because he bought enough cloth, which shocked the whole Cangzhou people.

That's right, after this period of accumulation, the huge harvest of Lunbu is not caused by the hard work of the fishermen, but because it is not difficult to catch Lunbu here. It is no exaggeration to say that the Lunbu in Linhai District is about to be dried. Cloth is occupied.

One month later in Chang’an, there was a new side dish named Huan Dai in various restaurants and inns. The strips are slightly black but if you add garlic and chili, it will make people feel extremely delicious. The entrance is smooth and there is a fragrance of seafood. The most important thing is that this kind of food is not only delicious but also cheap.

In addition, the medical efficacy of eating seaweed is known to everyone within a few days. If a child in the family has a "big neck disease" and eats seaweed often, it can be cured. This kind of seaweed cold dish is sold at various food stalls.

This is the change that happened within a few days after Yuanshan transported the dried Lunbu to Chang'an. When this cold dish appeared, it was scrambled by the people of Chang'an. After all, this kelp is salty to a certain extent. Save the people's demand for edible salt, and it's too cheap, two cents a catty, no one can't accept this price.

A large plate of cold dishes in inns and food stalls costs only five cents, which is not cheap.

In this way, this kind of food that no one used to eat became popular at once. The five large carts of Lunbu shipped from Cangzhou were snapped up in just a few days. This kind of supply even made many snacks The stalls are all sold out.

The sales are crazy, and there are also businessmen who are also crazy. They didn't expect that this kind of thing that no one wants can make so much money. Many businessmen are jealous. They also want to do this kind of business, but they can't make it so big. The scale will get very little benefit in terms of transportation costs, otherwise they would have already invested in the business of harvesting cloth.

Yuan Shan never thought that he could sell such a hot dish just by making one more cold dish for the common people. To be honest, his idea was so simple that it didn’t reach the acceptance of the common people in the Tang Dynasty. It’s so strong. He had to transport [-] truckloads of Lunbu next time to meet the demand.

Although the money sold for these lun cloth is not much, it is all relative. Now Yuanshan's vision is high, and hundreds of thousands of guan are nothing, but this does not mean that those merchants are not moved when they see it. This is also true in some aspects. Proof of Won Sun's talent for making money.

Soon the merchants gathered again to talk to Yuanshan about building a greenhouse. At this time, Yuanshan had a new plan, because now the collection and drying of Lunbu can definitely meet the needs of Chang'an and the surrounding areas. In this short period of time, the drying yard has expanded from employing a hundred women to more than 300.

The increase in employment opportunities will not increase the number of daily purchases of Lunbu, and what Yuanshan pays is a drying yard management plan and some wages.

Chapter 454 Public Facilities Construction Fund

The drying yard in the Linhai District is now lined with large and small wooden shelves. More than 300 women work here. Every day, a large amount of Lun cloth is transported by fishermen. Although they are all freshly salvaged, The purchase price of these things is very cheap. In theory, one penny can buy more than ten catties of goods. It's not that Yuan Shan's price is unfair, but that there is more moisture in it.

The relatively dry lun cloth will be purchased with a lot of money, and the price of some good-looking goods will be higher. If the purchase price of ready-made goods is more than a penny more than the normal purchase price.

Now, basically, what is drying on the poles in the fisherman’s house is not idle fish but Lunbu. At the beginning, they thought that the Yuan family was crazy, but recently they realized that Lunbu is such a delicious thing. Don't look at the food they salvage is not delicious, but once you add garlic and chili and other condiments, the taste will be very different.

Many fishermen have also become smart now, so many people started to operate this kind of cold dish business, mainly to deliver goods to small vendors in Cangzhou. Although the price is not as good as the price purchased by Yuanjia, the fishermen At the same time, the salvaged fish will be sent to the county town for a higher price than they usually only sell fish. Yes, these fish households are so simple.

Although there are fish households who sell these things privately, this is unavoidable for Yuanshan. The method of bringing them back with you is very simple. Anyone who is not stupid and has eaten it once will know how this thing is made, but This does not affect Yuanshan's interest in this business.

The Yuan family bought a new three-pound house for a month. The environment of the house after the renovation by the construction team is already very comfortable. The merchants in the guest room have gathered here and are waiting for Yuan Shan's reply.

These businessmen have already made a decision. They plan to participate in the vegetable greenhouse project with Yuanshan. During this period of time, Yuanshan’s Lunbu business has allowed these businessmen to see Yuanshan’s magical ability to make money. Whether it is a shipyard or a greenhouse, they think As long as you do business with the Yuan family, you can't go wrong.

So on this day, they gathered at Yuan's house to discuss specific plans. At this time, not only businessmen but also Jiang Chengwang, the governor of Cangzhou, were also staying here. Nodding his head, he was able to come to Yuanshan's house today very suddenly. At this moment, he saw Yuanshan and businessmen sitting around the table discussing matters. His assassin seemed to be calmed down, but Jiang Chengwang said a little bit. No feeling at all.

Because after he met Yuanshan, Yuanshan told him in the first sentence: "The merchants in Chang'an decided to build a vegetable greenhouse in Cangzhou with an estimated investment of 200 million yuan."
