Lord from the end of the world
Chapter 48
Ji Shaoguang was silent. Lambert's words were cruel, but they were also true.
To some extent, this world is very similar to the last days.
It's just that the end of the world is more caused by the severe environment, and after experiencing panic and helplessness, it has been improving.
This world is different, it is artificially created, and according to the current model, I am afraid there will be no change for a long time.
First of all, such a huge gap in strength is the biggest obstacle.
Unless there is Ji Shaoguang's previous world's technological level, it will be difficult to change the status quo.
Ji Shaoguang restrained his emotions, drew his attention back, and asked, "Is it difficult to receive pigs outside?"
The livestock brought back this time were only cattle and sheep, not a single pig.
Pork is cheaper than beef and sheep.
Pigs eat everything, and grow faster than cattle and sheep, but the taste is far inferior to that of cattle and sheep, and pork is very unhygienic for some people.
The pigs here are often kept under the latrines, people pull them on top, and they eat underneath.
For the very particular nobles and magicians, eating pork is almost equal to eating shit.
Moreover, the pork raised in this way is prone to parasites, and the commoners don't mind it, but for the noble magicians and other upper-class people who have a lot of resources, there is no need to wrong themselves, especially the taste of pork is not very good.
However, some people dislike it and some people like it. The price of pork is relatively low, and it is the meat most commonly eaten by ordinary people.
"I was going to tell you." Lambert's expression became excited, "I bought a lot of piglets, but we don't have enough manpower, so we hired someone to send them back for us."
Ji Shaoguang asked Lambert to buy more piglets before. Compared with cattle and sheep, their prices are much lower.
The pork here is not tasty, not only because the cooking method is too simple and rude, but also because they don't know that boars need to be castrated, otherwise there will be a strong fishy smell.
And when slaughtering pigs, it's best to drain all the blood so that the taste won't be so strong.
Ji Shaoguang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, hunting is not easy, and only breeding can obtain a stable source of meat.
"I see, Lambert, you are getting more and more capable."
Lambert smiled shyly: "It's all thanks to your wisdom, my lord. The paper and cloth I brought are very popular, and more nobles are willing to deal with me. Only then can the bold and powerful people be hired so smoothly. people."
These words are not flattering, Lambert has been proud of his ability before.
But it was quickly awakened that he was indeed a little clever, but if it weren't for the special goods brought by the lord, no one would pay attention to him at all.
Now he is respected and will not be easily made things difficult, all because of the strength and ingenuity of the lord.
Looking at Lambert's happy face, Ji Shaoguang knew that the business must be going well this time, and it was more like a small business before.
"Tell me about the specific situation."
"I took out the paper and cloth, and a group of people were amazed. Someone had seen the paper before, so it was not a surprise. As soon as the cotton cloth appeared, those nobles and magicians went crazy!"
Lambert's eyes lit up as he narrated.
Lambert took out the cotton cloth at a banquet as a congratulatory gift to the host of the banquet.
When the cotton cloth was taken out, everyone's eyes gathered.
Cotton cloth is completely different from silk and linen. It is very soft and skin-friendly, and has characteristics that other cloths do not have.
For those aristocrats who think about how to dress better and more special all day long, the appearance of new cloth is enough to make them yearn for.
Not to mention that their cotton cloth is indeed extremely good, and it is hard to put it down.
The cotton seeds brought by Ji Shaoguang are all high-quality long-staple cotton. Although the territory is not suitable for growing cotton, even if there is Tang Rui, the quality has declined, but it is still very good.
Ji Shaoguang was also very happy to hear that, with the current level of technology, cotton cloth is easier to produce and make than silk and linen.
Silk is not easy to get here, and it is extremely troublesome to make hemp into cloth, and it is easy to pollute water sources.
Cotton can fetch a good price and can later become one of their most important cash crops.
However, although Ji Shaoguang was happy, he had expected this result a long time ago, so it wasn't much of a surprise.
"What about potato flour and sweet potato flour?"
Lambert's smile deepened: "It's easier to sell than I expected. Although the price is not high, it is very cheap compared to cotton, but a large quantity can still make a lot of profit."
The production of potatoes and sweet potatoes is so large, if they can be successfully promoted, this is undoubtedly a very good way to make money.
"Both potatoes and sweet potato flour can be used as staple foods. They are cheaper than white flour, and many people are willing to try them."
From the very beginning, Lambert identified the sales groups of these two products as relatively well-off civilians. These people usually seldom eat hard-to-eat brown bread, and would buy some poor-quality white flour.
The rich eat only white flour, while the poorer eat a mixture of white and black flour.
These people basically live in the city and have stable jobs, and there are quite a few of them.
There is still a market for a food that is cheaper than white flour and tastes purer and better.
Potato flour and sweet potato flour do not have a very weird taste, so they are still easily accepted by people who want to save money.
It may be difficult to get used to eating them every day, but it is no problem to replace white noodles occasionally.
Ji Shaoguang breathed a sigh of relief: "This is happy news."
Selling processed agricultural products is more profitable and creates more jobs.
"However, finished potato flour and sweet potato flour are not suitable for mass production at present, and ordinary people prefer the starch made from them." Lambert added.
Noodles in the shape of strips are more likely to be liked by rich people, which has something to do with how Lambert cooks on the spot.
Those people can buy expensive seasonings and be able to cook it to a very delicious taste.
People from ordinary families prefer to cook starch directly into mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, etc., which are simple and easy to fill their stomachs.
Ji Shaoguang nodded: "This is already very good."
Even so, it is more cost-effective than directly selling the dug up potatoes and sweet potatoes. First of all, the weight is not a concept.
Moreover, it is easy to preserve after processing, so there is no need to worry that the potatoes will not be sold if they germinate halfway.
The output of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very large, and it is already very profitable to be able to sell them at this price.
"My lord, I found a suitable shop in Hongfeng City this time."
Ji Shaoguang immediately became interested: "Looking at you like this, you should have found a very good place."
"My lord, you are really amazing! I found a very good house in Dongcheng. It has three floors, and the attic on the top floor can be converted into a bedroom. The rent is very reasonable, but the location is a little bit out of the way."
"As long as our products are good enough, we can always attract customers. When we open, we will distribute advertisements to everyone for publicity."
Lambert was curious: "Advertisement?"
"It is to write or draw the characteristics of our store on paper and distribute it to everyone, so that everyone knows that there is such a small store."
"How expensive paper is!" Lambert's first reaction was that this was a very extravagant act.
You must know that they are very expensive to sell now. Although it is fragile, it has the lightness and ease of writing that parchment does not have.
Ji Shaoguang smiled and said: "Always have to invest in the early stage, and the previous publicity methods also cost money."
"You're right." Lambert also calmed down at this moment: "Paper is in short supply, which makes me stingy."
"Now that summer plowing has passed, more people will join in papermaking, and the supply of goods will become more and more sufficient."
The field does not need to be looked after all the time, as long as you are busy with farming and harvesting, the time in between is relatively easy and ample.
Lambert still regretted: "This speed is still not fast enough, everyone's demand for paper is very large."
Ji Shaoguang was also very regretful. It would be great if he could bring back the papermaking machine from the world he was in before. The current efficiency is worrying.
Lambert quickly jumped out of his depressed thoughts, and took out the small notebook Ji Shaoguang gave him from his pocket.
"My lord, I drew the house we rented, do you have any ideas?"
It's not easy to open a store in Hongfeng City. In addition to good things, it has to be distinctive.
Lambert felt that apart from Ji Shaoguang, it was difficult for others to come up with anything special.
Ji Shaoguang laughed: "Lambert, you are really getting bolder."
He has to take care of such a small matter, he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
Lambert smiled cheekily: "This store is the window of our territory to the outside world, and it must be well-run and well-run to shame our reputation. Only you, an adult, can do this."
"You are really getting better at talking." Ji Shaoguang smiled, "I have accepted the blueprint, and I will give you a rough idea. Specifically, I will talk about it when I go to Hongfeng City."
"My lord, are you going to Hongfeng City?"
"I heard that many good things will appear in the exchange meeting of Red Maple City every autumn. I want to see if there are wood-type magic stones."
Good-quality magic stones with attributes will not be sold to ordinary people. Only magicians are eligible to subscribe. Ordinary people can only buy low-level magic stones that are used for home furnishing.
Tang Rui's situation is very unstable, and he needs more magic stones for cultivation.
Although Ji Shaoguang prefers Tang Rui's soft and cute appearance, he also understands the seriousness of the matter.
If Tang Rui couldn't recover, he must have suffered some damage to his body.
Although Tang Rui didn't say it, Ji Shaoguang felt it.
"I should have some money during the autumn harvest." Ji Shaoguang sighed.
Feeling ashamed, Lambert said very seriously: "My lord, we are the ones who have dragged you down."
Ji Shaoguang was startled, then laughed immediately: "What are you talking about?"
"If you are not too generous, you just need to be like other lords, and you will not be so poor now."
Lambert also knows a lot of big people now, and no lord or magician has anything as expensive as Ji Shaoguang.
Those lords are very rich, the cellar is full of rare treasures, food and clothing are extremely extravagant, and the daily expenses are like running water
Where is it like Ji Shaoguang, who has worn a piece of clothing for a long time without any jewelry.
Although they ate better than them, they were all very common things.
Ji Shaoguang is still just smiling, maybe some people think his behavior is very stupid, he has experienced the cruelty of the last days, and he is still such a "Holy Father".
But he felt that because of this, he would cherish the relationship between people even more.
He didn't want to experience the cold world again, it was much more terrifying than the cruel environment.
Ji Shaoguang didn't know any major truths, and he didn't want to explain anything to himself, so he just said:
"Everyone's pursuit is different. Since I choose to agree to become your lord, I will not let Mr. Tang Feng down."
