A pepper seed costs a penny, and this money comes too quickly and easily. Even those who came from a noble family who had never lacked money since childhood saw it, were a little shocked.

Yes, they are also very rich, but their money has been saved up by generations.

The Luo Coffin Board has only been in Chang'an for a few days. A few years ago, she was farming in the countryside. Now, she has been in Chang'an City for less than a year and has bought two houses. If he is allowed to develop at this rate, in time, wouldn't he step on the heads of them?

Some people have no reason to say, they just want to be stronger than you, and they are better than you, once you catch up with him, there is even a tendency to overtake, then you are his enemy.

Although not all people in this world are like this, as long as there are one or two out of a hundred, it is enough for Luo Yong to drink a pot. Luo Yong’s current situation is very bad.

In early September, after Du Xi, who was traveling abroad, returned to Chang'an City, he heard his friends talk about the big and small things that had happened in Chang'an City over the past six months. He soon went to Luo Yong and advised him to act low-key and not to be too aggressive.

"The situation is now like this. Can I still take back the pepper seeds and not sell them?" Luo Yong said with a smile: "At the current speed, it will not take long to sell them. The situation should be eased by then."

"You are not a person who likes money, why do you push yourself to the forefront?" Du Xi said helplessly.

"How do you know that I am not a person who likes money?" Could Luo Yong still tell him that he wants to save money and change the world: "Where is the thing in this world that is as interesting as making money?"

"Of course it's spending money." Du Xi carried the wine cup and said with a smile.

"It's not bad." Luo Yong also laughed. The two of them drank and ate vegetables, and the atmosphere was light.

The reason why Du Xi disappeared for so long this time was that he went to Laizhou, Hebei Province and went to find his cousin Du Gou.

On this day, Du Xi brought some local local specialties from Laizhou to Luo Yong, the most conspicuous of which were several cans of canned needle beam fish.

I heard that Du Gou and his team successfully extracted a batch of Eucommia ulmoide last autumn and winter. After a winter of thought, they finally made the canned jar. After the spring of this year, they began to study various canned fish.

According to some local people's opinions, since they are going to takeout, they naturally have to use the best and most precious sea fish to make canned food.

Du Gou didn't think so. The number of precious sea fish is limited and fishing is difficult. Even if they barely open up the market, they can't supply goods at all. It's better to use their brains on those needle-beam fish.

In recent years, the number of needle beam fish has spread to the seaside. They not only attack other fish, occupy large areas of water, but also pose certain safety hazards to fishermen who go out to the sea.

Du Gou was in the coastal waters of this area and his left foot tendon was poked by a needle fish.

The meat of acupuncture fish is quite delicious, and can nourish deficiency and relieve deficiency and fire. It is logically suitable for eating fish.

But it also has a problem, that is, there are many and sharp fish bones, and there are barbs on the thorns. Once they are pierced into the mouth, it is difficult to obtain them. Local people are reluctant to eat them carefully in order to fill their stomachs. If they are sold to other places, it is unlikely that there will be any market.

It was almost that time that Du Xi went to Laizhou.

Du Xi is a ambitious person. Almost everything he does now is to make preparations for his future success.

However, in such an era, if a person wants to gain a foothold in the undercurrent court, the help and support of his family is very important. However, the Du family is not united and they often fight to the death. After several generations, they have accumulated a lot of hatred.

Du Xi went to Laizhou this time naturally to win over Du Gou.

Originally, his cousin had no intention of court and was far away from Chang'an City and settled in Laizhou, and almost all the Du family had to forget him.

Until the beginning of this year, I heard that he had planted many Ducao trees in Laizhou and extracted Eucommia Gum. Someone from the Du family wrote to contact him, but he didn't even go back. Du Xizhang visited him in Laizhou when he was traveling around in the past, so he went to Laizhou in person. As a result, he went there for more than half a year.

They visited many wine shops in Laizhou that were good at cooking needle-beam fish. In addition, they combined their richer dietary experience than the local people, and finally made canned needle-beam fish is now placed in front of Luo Yong.

Nenstone fish have many bones. Even if they try to eliminate the bones when processing, they will inevitably have omissions.

But now the canned fish in front of Luo Yong tastes almost no thorns. Du Xi said that these fish meats were carefully processed and fryed in a stone pot, and added green onion, ginger, wine, and a lot of vinegar and a little sauce. They were stewed for about an hour. The vinegar has the effect of softening fish bones. After a long period of stewing, it tasted so that even if there were a few fish bones, they were basically soft.

"This method is good." Luo Yong picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish to eat.

Speaking of this era, there is no shortage of fish. There are many fish in rivers and lakes. What they lack is fishing and preservation technology. In addition, the sea fish tastes a little different from freshwater fish. The local stitch fish resources in Laizhou are so rich, so I think this is a business.

"If you are interested, I will ask someone to make a place in the north and south groceries. This canned needle fish can be put on the shelves at any time." Luo Yong said to Du Xi.

"Thank you, Sanlang! In this way, my cousin's canned fish should not worry about sales." Du Xi said happily.

In Chang'an City, no one knows that the north and south grocery business is doing well, and there are not many customers coming in and out every day. If the canned fish can be placed on the shelves of the north and south grocery, then they will not know how much effort they can save on sales.

"It's not that everything will be fine if you put it on." Luo Yong smiled and said, "The shop there will be counting the sales of various items every quarter. If the sales volume is really sluggish, it will probably be removed from the shelves and free up space for other items."

Especially in the food area on the first floor, the competition is quite fierce.

After all, the shops of groceries in the north and south are only that big, and there are many people who want to sell goods here, from merchants from all over the world to Hu merchants from all over the world, and even some aristocratic families.

The goods provided by these people are also of different colors. For the aristocratic families, they are basically produced by their own families, from the agricultural products of the manor to the items produced by various workshops.

The types of products provided by those Hu merchants are even more abundant. Luo Yong has never even heard of many things before. However, the second-floor shopping malls of north and south groceries are mainly daily necessities. Luo Yong is not willing to buy products that are too expensive.

There was a Hu merchant who wanted to sell ivory chopsticks on groceries in the north and south. When Luo Yong's disciple told Luo Yong about this, he refused without thinking.

After Hu Shang learned the result, he was very dissatisfied. He spoke fluent Chinese and came to Luo Yong to theory. The chopsticks were also used for food and daily necessities. He asked Luo Yong why he refused to let him put it on the shelves.

Luo Yong told him that it was too cruel to hunt elephants for the sake of these two pairs of chopsticks, and they refused such goods in their shops.

"Don't your sheepskin boots are also made of sheepskin. My ivory chopsticks are made of ivory. What's wrong with that?" Hu Shang argued with him.

"After we kill goats, we use mutton to eat, mutton fat is used to make soap, cashmere is used to make sweaters, and we won't even waste water. We can use it for the best use. This is the respect for life. How do you treat those elephants?" Luo Yong asked him.

The white man Hu Shang turned red, not knowing whether he was shy or angry, so he left in a hurry. Luo Yong never saw him again after that.

"But it's still divided into three to seven?" Du Xi confirmed to Luo Yong.

"That's right, I'll divide it into 30% and 70% of you." Luo Yong said.

"We will rely more on Saburo's care in the future!" Du Xi bowed to Luo Yong seriously.

"Why should Shiwulang be so obedient?" Luo Yong could probably guess that Du Gou made canned food in Laizhou. Although the canned food transported to Chang'an was sold on groceries in the north and south, Du Xi, a middleman, must also make money. People like them who often do things outside and show off their best skills, how can they play with them without much money?

No matter what, Luo Yong was still very happy about Du Xi's return. This girl is really a romantic figure. She has been dormant for so long this time and has finally come back. She will definitely not be too low-key.

Luo Yong hopes that Chang'an City can be as lively as possible, and add more romantic figures and rare objects to help him divide his firepower so that those people will not be able to stare at him all day long.

Sure enough, Du Xi did not disappoint Luo Yong. This guy made a big news in Chang'an City just a few days after he came back.

It is said that this time he came back from Laizhou, in addition to various local specialties, he also got some Eucommia ulmoides from his cousin. What do you think he used for these Eucommia ulmoides?

——This girl invited more than a dozen young people from the aristocratic families to get the Eucommia glue and go to the Wang family to exchange for canned lychees.

The Wang family has developed canning business in the south in the past two years. For them, the procurement of Eucommia ulmoides is definitely very important.

This time, the Wang family saw Du Xi and others taking Eucommia Glue to exchange for canned food. Whether it is for the sake of the face of Eucommia Glue or the face of young people from these aristocratic families, they quickly exchanged them two big jars of canned lychees.

Take these two jars of canned food back, guess how do they eat it?

——A dozen people, sixty kilograms of canned food, were eaten up by them in less than half a day, and each person ate five or six kilograms on average.

How crazy this is!

Do you know how much canned lychees from the Wang family have to sell in Chang'an City now?

Some people in the court also impeached, saying that these families did not properly discipline their young people.

However, this kind of impeachment may not be a bad thing for young people, especially Du Xi, who takes the lead, has made a name for himself in front of these bigwigs early, and will be more helpful after he becomes an official in the future.

In fact, these big guys are often tolerant of these harmless absurd things.

Both of them are from aristocratic families, so who are not like this? They are not romantic and indifferent young people. Those sour little officials who love to ginseng will ginseng.

Du Xi and the others are also very open about being involved in things like being involved. There is no such thing as a romantic figure who does not make small mistakes or cause small disasters.

You can read a romantic figure by studying at home? There may be a chance in other dynasties, so there is no need to think about it at this time in the Tang Dynasty.

Since Du Xi and the others created the lychee banquet, Luo has been a little more relaxed when using it here.

After selling out the pepper seeds, the cold storage has started construction. I will transport a batch of money to support the road construction team in the inner road of Guannei to calculate whether all the saplings I owe two years ago have been paid off...

Everything was pretty good, but after he finished what he should do, there was not much money left from selling pepper seeds.

Hengzhi has obtained a drawing from Luo Yong in recent days and is frantically investing in the research and manufacturing of hand-crank cranes.

The blacksmiths in the yard of Xing Er increased from one to three. The daily jingle was not only the craftsman's wages, but also consumed a lot of fine iron and coal. These were all bought by Luo Yi.

The hardest part to build a crane is the pulleys and gears.

For gears, Chang'an craftsmen have some experience, because the production of Yan'erfei requires gears. Some rich people will spend money to replace the wooden structure above Yan'erfei with fine iron structures, and these craftsmen in the market are invited.

The pulleys would be difficult. Hengzhi and Luo Yong discussed it. In a few days, if they still couldn't make the pulleys smoothly, let Luo Yong write a letter to borrow someone from the Yin family. There are blacksmiths who can make bearings there, and it would be not difficult to ask them to make a few pulleys.

As for the steel frame of the crane, it is not difficult to make, but it is not easy to ensure its load-bearing capacity.

These blacksmiths are digging every day, and they don’t know how much waste iron is. Fortunately, they can pick up these irons and save them, and they can also be used to create other things in the future.

After a while, after the crane is driven out, they will start to build a trailer.

If you have to get ice from the river after winter, the transportation of ice will also consume a lot of manpower and material resources. When leaving and entering the warehouse, some trailers are inevitable.

He wanted to do a lot of things, and he had to use money everywhere, and his income channels were relatively limited. Luo Yong felt that he didn't seem to have enough time to have enough money on his hands.

The people of Chang'an all knew that Luo used this time to make money, but he didn't know which bottomless pit he had used the money to fill in.

Look at how he goes to get off work and gets off work every day, and he is still wearing a robe that he can't do normally. The donkey cart is the same as the original donkey cart. Even the children in the family have never added a new one.

"Where did your brother earn that money? Why didn't you buy clothes with you?" Someone from the neighbor asked Si Niang and the others.

"It's been spent." Si Niang said calmly.

"So much, it's all spent?" That's too much!

"Well, money is not spent at all." Qi Niang repeated what her brother said last night to everyone.

"Tsk, only your family's money is so unspent, can other people's family be the same as yours?"

"You still have to pay attention to something, don't spend it all."

"Your brother is not married yet. If you don't have any accumulation, how can a good woman marry him?"
