Take the mall to Datang

Zheng Huan, who was eating Yuanshan, saw that everyone was watching him eating alone, so he said, "What are you watching me do, eat."

Gao Ming was the first to react. He knew that Yuan Shan had made a lot of weird stuff, so he tried it out boldly.

"Yeah, it's delicious!" After taking a bite, he couldn't stop, stood up from his seat, and started to put meat into the pot.

Chapter 88 The first cement business

Li Ke turned his eyes to see Gao Ming's movements, and seemed to feel that it was really delicious.

At this time, Lizhi shouted: "Brother, Lizhi wants to eat too."

"What does Lizhi want to eat, brother will cook for you." As if she had tasted the deliciousness and fun of hot pot, she agreed.

"Is it really that delicious?" Li Tai was a little moved, and unconsciously picked up the chopsticks in his hand, very curious, but seeing so many people cooking meat in one pot, he couldn't put down the chopsticks.

And Li Ke couldn't hold back any longer. After Li Zhi ate it and shouted that it was delicious, he stopped being polite, and imitated his cleverness and started to move his chopsticks.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious." Li Ke's voice seemed to have magical powers, and the people around him also started to try it after hearing it.

"Well, this mutton cooks really quickly, it's smooth but not greasy, and it's full of aroma. It's really delicious with this seasoning." Qin An praised it.

And Yang Shan was eating alone in silence, not because he didn't want to talk, but because he had nothing to say, and because the food in the pot was so delicious, he decided to eat more for this meal. Some.

"Have some chili peppers."

"What is this, I'll have some too."

"so spicy."

"Well, some more, Siha... some more."

Yuan Shan didn't expect that this group of people would be so crazy. Wasn't it good just now, but now, there is not a piece of meat just dropped by chopsticks.

"Steward Qin, come and try this lettuce. This is a side dish grown in our farm. It can be eaten raw or cooked like this. It's delicious. Come and try it." Yuan Shan began to recommend the lettuce grown by his family, and now not only A large piece of lettuce has grown in the yard of the manor, and even the farmers in Wulizhuang have grown this kind of lettuce in their homes, and they have begun to eat it now.

Qin An tried it and said: "Well, this lettuce is not bad. It would be great if it can grow in large quantities in summer as Lord Hou said."

"Actually, this kind of lettuce is delicious in Zhanjiang." Yuan Shan picked up a piece of lettuce, dipped it in some hot pot seasoning, and ate it.

After everyone saw it, they learned how to eat it. It was crisp and delicious, just like what Yuan Shan said, and the taste was different from boiled, but it was obviously better to eat raw.

"This lettuce can also be sandwiched in the pancakes. It will increase the taste of the pancakes. I will ask someone to make points for you to try." Yuan Shan said.

"I didn't bring much lettuce today, butler Qin will bring some back when I go back later, and let my aunt taste it." Yuan Shan really didn't care, and went directly to the mistress of the Qin family.

Qin An agreed after hearing a little bit.

They were eating in the store, but the smell of the mutton hot pot had already wafted far away, and the people watching at the door were attracted by this smell again.

"Yuanshan, I don't know what kind of business you are opening a shop for. Could it be that the hotpot business is not successful." Gao Ming asked at this time.

"No, this is a building materials store. I mainly deal in cement, sand, bricks, lime and other products used in the construction industry. In addition to these, I also undertake businesses such as building fire walls and heated kangs." Yuan Shan introduced carefully.

"What is cement?" Gao Ming asked casually.

"Cement is a powdery hydraulic inorganic cementitious material. Let me tell you, the hardness of using cement to build walls is stronger than that of yellow mud plant ash, and it will also solidify in water. It can be used for bridge and paving, and cement It can build a house tens of meters high, how can it be very powerful." Yuan Shan said.

"According to what you say, the Great Wall can be built with cement." Gao Ming said.

"Yes, but try not to waste time and money. Defense is always passive. Relying on city walls to defend against foreign enemies is not the best way," Yuan Shan said.

"Then according to Lord Hou, is there any better strategy to defend against the enemy?" A man's voice suddenly came from behind Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan was almost taken aback, and thought to himself, who is this? It's fine to walk without making a sound, and he was still talking suddenly when I was still there, so he turned his head and saw that it was Yunfeng.

"Yunfeng, you startled me." Yuan Shan said suddenly.

"Excuse me, Lord Hou. I just came in, and I want to hear Lord Hou's high opinion." Yunfeng said.

"It's just talking nonsense, but since you asked, then Master Ben Hou said, in a word, the strongest defense is offense." Yuan Shan said.

"What Hou Ye said seems very reasonable, but..." Yunfeng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan suddenly said: "Even if you talk casually about Brother Yunfeng, don't be too serious. You need to know specific problems and analyze them in detail. This is a concept. People who understand it will naturally understand it. Those who don't understand can't force it."

Yuan Shan started talking nonsense again, and suddenly asked: "Why did the Yunfeng guards arrive, come and taste the hot pot food of Lord Ben Hou."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. I'm here to deliver goods, so I'll take my leave first." Yunfeng said.

After Gao Ming learned about the cement, he asked about the heated kang. After Yuanshan finished explaining, he made an appointment to ask someone to go to the Qin Mansion to build a heated kang and a fire wall for heating in winter. After eating, everyone dispersed. However, Yang Shan did not leave, because Yuan Shan wanted Yang Shan to help sell cement.

"Master Hou, if your cement can be used in water, there are some sales channels down there, but I don't know the price of this cement." Yang Shan said.

"The retail price of one stone (100 catties) of cement is [-] Wen, and the transportation fee is calculated separately," Yuan Shan said.

"Master Hou, the price of this cement is equivalent to the price of rice. Including the transportation cost, it may not be less than 350 yuan per stone. If this is the case, it may be difficult to sell it." Yang Shan said.

Yang Shan, who was already confident in his mind, was speechless when he heard the price. The cost of such a price is too high, and it is better to use yellow mud to build hard rocks.

"Well, you have to think about it from another angle. For example, using this cement and masonry to build a dock or a dam can last for a hundred years, and the maintenance cost is very low. From this point of view, it is worth the price. If it is used to build The house has more advantages. With the use of bricks, the construction speed is fast, and it is easy to build pavilions and pavilions. The foundation is very strong. It can be said that it can be used for building walls, paving roads and building cities. The price is naturally expensive. There's a reason why it's expensive." Yuan Shan said.

"Hearing what Hou Ye said, it's really so serious. Since Hou Ye thinks so highly of villains, then I, Yang Shan, will try my best to help Hou Ye find some sales outlets." Yang Shan said.

"Well, it's not like you're working in vain. As long as you sell the cement in this shop from you, all of it will be calculated as a [-]% commission. For example, you will be charged three pennies for each stone of cement." Yuan Shan said.

Yang Shan didn't think it was too little, because he knew that if someone bought cement to build a house, it would cost at least one hundred and eighty shi.

"Okay, the villain will leave first." Yang Shan said to Yuan Shan before leaving.

When Yang Shan left, the building material store was deserted, and the crowd of onlookers had dispersed long ago. However, the name of the building material store in Hepingfang was considered to be somewhat famous in Hepingfang, because the people who ate cotton candy were still there. Can't forget that taste.

"Where did Steward Zhou go?" Yuan Shan asked the servant at the door.

"Back to Master, Steward Zhou accompanied the guests to the village to pull cement." The servant said.

"Business has been coming since the opening of the business, hey, could it be that this is what Yunfeng meant by soliciting goods?" Yuan Shan thought suddenly.

Chapter 89 Li Shimin in the Palace

Yuan Shan stayed in the shop until the afternoon and left. There was no business at all that day, and it was fruitless to ask the family to discuss with other shops. The main reason is that the price of cement is too expensive. Even if the wholesale price is 290 yuan, there is no business at all. Heart.

New things don't just sell as soon as they are sold, we still have to slowly open up the market, but the money in hand is really running out.

On the way back, he encountered a few carriages. These carriages seemed to be the carriages of the county prince's mansion and Cui's family he had seen last time.

He soon felt relieved. If he went to Zhuangzi, he would definitely go to the chess hall. These days, he didn't seem to care about the chess hall. The four secretaries took turns to look after him.

Before reaching Zhuangzi, I saw a large row of convoys coming from Zhuangzi's direction.
