Douluo Continuing The Seven Shrek Monsters' Road to Godhood

Chapter 755--MSG

In the Tangmen conference hall, a long oval table was full of people. At a glance, there were about twenty people.

First of all, I saw Dugu Bo tapping his finger on the table and said casually: "Tangmen Medicine Hall has a wide variety of medicines. If we expand production and open it to the civilian market, it will undoubtedly be a huge fortune."

But when Yang Wudi heard this, he just laughed scornfully and retorted on the spot: "What you think is quite beautiful. The medicines in my medicine hall are not rubbish made by an old guy like you. The raw materials alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even our Tang Sect A lot of money is spent on it every year, and there is no way to expand production. Even if it is barely possible, it is not affordable for the average person and cannot be enjoyed by most people. This kind of luxury product does not have much impact on society. , on the contrary, it will disrupt the market, make medicine and medical treatment more expensive, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After saying so much, Yang Wudi paused for a while and continued with a serious face: "So, old poisoner, I advise you not to have any whims."

Dugu Bo was speechless, but he knew that what Yang Wudi said did make sense. Herbal medicines were not cheap at all. In addition, Yang Wudi, an old guy, didn't like low-quality herbs at all. They were all of high quality. The lowest market price for a piece of Millennium Cordyceps is several thousand gold soul coins.

Ordinary people may not be able to afford it in their lifetime! You must know that the average annual income per capita in the Tiandou Empire is only about ten gold soul coins.

Soul masters are very profitable. They are middle-class people and above. Just counting soul masters, their average annual income is only about a few hundred gold soul coins. However, their number is not large, and even now it does not exceed one million. , but they are already dozens of times richer than ordinary people.

The total population is close to 100 million, so if those soul masters are excluded and only the common people with no soul power are counted, their average annual income is a pitiful less than five or six gold soul coins.

It is simply unimaginable that such an expensive herb should be processed into medicine. Only the rich among soul masters can afford it. Moreover, this medicine cannot be guaranteed to be available every time, which makes it even more expensive.

Although the Tang Sect has played a positive role in promoting the development of the mainland, it is not a charitable organization. Naturally, such expensive medicine cannot be sold cheaply.

Therefore, under this social background, it is not feasible to make money by selling drugs.

Not many people can afford it, and the Tang Sect will not promote this expensive medicine, because the Tang Sect cannot do this kind of thing of eating human blood steamed buns, and can only use it as a reward for the disciples who have made outstanding contributions to the sect. This will produce greater value.

Yang Wudi said this, but Dugu Bo obviously still refused to give up, and asked again: "Don't you have some magical herbal pills that are very helpful in improving the soul master's level? If you sell them to soul masters, don't worry that no one will want them!"

Shake Wudi shook his head even more, "This kind of fairy grass and medicinal pills are more expensive. How can they be freely circulated in the market? These are the strategic resources of our Tang Sect and must not be sold. I say you are really an old fool. You want to I thought of the money for this reason. This kind of thing that directly improves the level is a priceless treasure. Only the meritorious people of my sect can enjoy it. If you buy it and buy it, no matter how much money you give, you will lose money."

Well! At this time, Dugu Bo spread his hands, completely helpless. He was not good at business at all, and to be able to come up with the above two opinions was already exhausting his brain.

There was a brief silence in the conference hall. It was Dai Mubai who spoke up to break the oppressive atmosphere, "Perhaps we gods can build some training places in a certain open area, or even simulate illusions, or even simulate the assessment of gods. Correspondingly Lower the difficulty and let the soul masters from the mainland experience it. After the construction is completed, it can be rented out by the hour, which will definitely attract soul masters from all over the continent."

Dai Mubai did not propose renting out the Tang Sect Poseidon's Light to make money, but proposed to recreate some other types of training ground.

Everyone pondered for a moment, and several elders nodded their heads one after another. This method was very good, reminding them of the days when the seven sects competed for hegemony and made a lot of money by renting the Poseidon's Light from other sects.

Of course, it is now impossible to open the sect's unique Poseidon's Light training ground to the outside world. Therefore, everyone strongly agrees with Dai Mubai's suggestion.

Next, the Tang Sect's top management launched detailed discussions on the matter.

……

An hour or two passed in the blink of an eye, and several people not only finished discussing the matter, but also proposed some other ways to make money.

Among them, Zou Qi proposed a condiment called "monosodium glutamate" that they had never heard of.

According to his introduction, as long as a little bit of this MSG is added to the dishes, it will greatly improve the taste of the dishes and increase people's appetite. It is a condiment that will definitely be loved by every household.

The large-scale production of MSG will definitely enable Tangmen to completely solve the financial problem, and the manufacturing of MSG is not difficult.

But of course, this kind of condiment that is deeply rooted in the people naturally needs the support of the Tiandou Empire.

Without the participation of the Tiandou Empire, it cannot be produced legally.

Because they may be only slightly less important than salt in the future and will become a necessity for every household.

The state must take control of such important materials.

Tang Sect still thinks very clearly about this kind of thing and will not cross the line.

In the next few days, Zou Qi showed them how to make MSG.

For the first time, half a catty was produced and distributed to the Tangmen kitchen and the royal family. The result, of course, caused quite a stir.

No matter what dish, as long as MSG is added, the color and taste will be improved by several levels.

Even the Six Monsters and the others, who were no longer interested in eating, started to have appetites one by one. The food was obviously the same as before, but why did it taste so delicious?

People can't help but have this question in their minds: MSG is really magical!

The Six Monsters and others completely ignored the original idea of ​​eating grains, and just forced themselves not to eat grains. They ate all the other vegetables, no matter what, they just wanted to eat grains.

Naturally, the elders ate much more than usual, and they all devoured without paying attention to their appearance.

Why does the food suddenly taste so delicious? can not imagine.

This is not surprising at all. For people who have never eaten MSG, when they suddenly taste this condiment, their taste buds will naturally be deeply attracted by it and they will be reluctant to move their tongues.

This phenomenon can make the kitchen very busy. They don't even dare to think that just a few crystals that look like white sugar but are larger, and just sprinkle a small amount into the dishes, can make the taste rise so much. The potential of almost every dish is pushed out, which is really amazing.

At the same time, within the Tiandou royal family, Xue Beng had already eaten enough big fish and meat, and had no desire for any food.

But today, he never expected that as soon as the dishes prepared by the chefs were placed on the table, Xue Beng immediately smelled that these dishes were very different from usual. Indescribably, he felt that they were all delicious and delicious, and they must be the best in the world. Eat delicious food.

Xue Beng was shocked as to why he suddenly had such an idea? Startled for a moment, he quickly took a bite.

As soon as the food touches the tongue, the stimulating sensation makes the scalp numb and the whole body feels comfortable. It feels like I am wandering in the ocean of food. My body is so light that I am ready to fly into the sky at any time, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Avalanche's saliva secretion is several times more than before. This must be so delicious! People will drool when they feel happy, and Xue Beng's taste at this moment is unparalleled satisfaction.

He ate all the dishes, and his belly was about to explode. But even so, he wanted to swallow it with his tongue. Finally, he rationally told himself that eating so much was enough and he couldn't go any further. You have to, otherwise you will really swell yourself to death.

The chefs in charge of the royal cuisine were shocked. They usually made dozens of dishes, and the emperor would only pinch each dish two or three times or cut it once or twice with a knife, then insert it into his mouth with a fork and taste it expressionlessly.

Today has really changed. The emperor ate all the dishes with MSG. They all became a little suspicious. Did their cooking skills suddenly improve, or was the quality of today's dishes better?

No, it's no different from usual.

The only difference is the addition of MSG, which they didn't dare to add at first. After all, they couldn't guarantee whether it was poisonous or not.

But since the emperor personally requested the test, they took courage and tasted the MSG first. At first, they didn't find it too strange, just a little salty flavor.

After a long time, and I didn't feel any physical discomfort, I finally felt relieved and started adding this to various dishes.

Unexpectedly, when I put this MSG, which didn't have any special taste, into the dish, it completely stimulated all the flavors of the ingredients. It was so fresh and fragrant that even the wild fish in the river no longer had the earthy smell. It was so delicious that they almost tasted it. I couldn't help but eat and drink before the emperor.

……

The condiment was a huge success and received high praise from Avalanche.

Therefore, we immediately cooperated with Tangmen to discuss mass production.

After discussion, I discovered that such a delicious condiment has very simple raw materials and is not complicated to make.

Therefore, the cost is extremely low, just a little more than twice as high as salt. The cost of salt is very low, not much more than twice as high.

Under this circumstance, the Tang Sect and the royal family decided to vigorously promote it and make every effort to let every household have the opportunity to buy and taste it, making it an important commodity like salt.

In this way, the Tang Sect's funds will be secured, and the Tiandou royal family can also use this commodity to make up for the shortfall in tax revenue, thus having more money for large-scale construction...

In the following time, Zou Qi handed over a simple and extremely low-cost production method to the medicine hall. The specific production method was a little more troublesome than making wine, and it was not too difficult.

Tangmen was extremely efficient, and Midang quickly started building a special factory for production.

Within a month, the large factory building was completed by Midang.

Hundreds of carefully selected medicine hall disciples already know the production process well after a month of rapid training by Yang Wudi and Dugubo.

Therefore, it was quickly put into production under the leadership of the two.

Within a week, the first batch of products was produced.

It is sealed with oil paper and sold for three copper soul coins per bag of 500 grams. It is very cheap and close to the people.

The first batch of products is of course supplied to the royal family and some sects who already knew the news about MSG and placed orders in advance.

Of course, the Star Luo Empire soon became aware of this condiment.

The Tang Sect discussed with the Tiandou Empire and decided to supply the Xingluo Empire with two copper soul coins per kilogram.

Slowly, the condiment spread from ten to ten, and many people knew about this condiment.

Some people in the Tiandou Empire seek cooperation and become dealers. Each bag can sell four copper soul coins, and it is not expensive. People can buy them at various distribution points.

When being sold by dealers under the Star Luo Empire, the price per kilogram shall not exceed four copper soul coins, nor shall it be lower than three copper soul coins.

The profit from this kind of MSG is quite considerable, basically more than 80% of the profit. Of course, when sold to the Star Luo Empire, the profit is not so high.

The Tang Sect originally wanted to make it cheaper, but the Tiandou Empire firmly disagreed. He believed that this product was just like salt, which could make up for a lot of tax revenue, so it should be hugely profitable, so that the country could operate and be healthy. , if you have money, you can carry out large-scale construction.

Although Tangmen is the manufacturer of the product, the pricing power belongs to the state, so he won’t say more, just sell whatever you want!

As for the profit sharing, the Tang Sect and the Tiandou Imperial Palace will share it 28/20. As for the profit from the sale to the Star Luo Empire, the Tang Sect and the Tiandou Empire will also share the profit 28/20.

For a commodity comparable to salt, the Tang Sect can actually get 20% of the profit. You can imagine what a huge amount of money that must be.

This division is also very reasonable, and the Tang Sect even takes a big advantage, because the Tang Sect is only responsible for production and ignores everything else.

The products are sold by the Tiandou Imperial Family, and the products of the Star Luo Empire are also fully responsible for the Tiandou Imperial Family. Various dealers are also controlled by the two empires respectively. The Tang Sect is not good at this aspect of knowledge.

In this way, Tang Sect will actually save a lot of costs on freight and human resources, and there will be no need to bear risks. This is the most comfortable thing for Tang Sect's senior management.

Tangmen's MSG production went very smoothly, and there was basically no friction with the Tiandou Empire.

Both sides have taken advantage of each other and will not infringe on each other or cross the line.

You produce and I sell, it’s that simple.
