Chapter 18 Preparation(1/2)
It took an hour to clean up the warehouse of Fuling House. After finishing everything in Fuling House, Zhang Tie closed the door of Fuling House again, and then came to Bailong Town without stopping.
Since you want to make that solution on a large scale, you must prepare some necessary tools and raw materials.
The tools are mainly clay pots for fermentation, and the raw materials are mainly various fruits and sugars.
Bailong Town was quite lively with people coming and going. Zhang Tie found the pottery shop where he bought pottery pots last time without much trouble.
There are various kinds of pottery for sale in large and small displays in pottery shops. These pottery are just ordinary things in ordinary people's homes. They are not exquisite in appearance, but they are simple and durable. Compared with porcelain, the price is also low.
Much cheaper.
Zhang Tie took a look and found that the items in the store were a little too small, so he directly called the store clerk over.
"Man, do you have a bigger clay pot here?" Zhang Tie gestured with his hands. If he wanted to brew that solution on a large scale, the clay pot must not be small, it must be able to hold at least 100 kilograms.
Only the above will work, but the clay pots displayed in the store are all a little smaller. The largest one can only hold 40 to 50 kilograms of solution.
"The bigger pots are in the backroom!"
"Can you take me to see it?"
The clerk in the store looked at Zhang Tie suspiciously. Zhang Tie was very young and didn't look like someone who was running around for a living. Most of the people who came here to buy clay pots were for home use, and they were mostly residents of the island.
Zhang Tie was wearing a smart outfit and didn't look like a resident of the island, so the guy was a little confused.
But doubts were doubts. Since Zhang Tie wanted to see it, the clerk had to take him there. There were two clerks in the store. After telling the other man, the clerk took Zhang Tie to the warehouse behind the store.
There were more pottery in the warehouse, and various bottles and cans were piled up on several levels. After Zhang Tie followed the man to the warehouse at the back, he saw several large pottery pots over one meter high, and that was it!
Zhang Tie looked at the styles and workmanship of the pottery pots and nodded.
"Man, how much does this clay pot cost?"
“These clay pots cost 9 silver coins each!”
Zhang Tie briefly calculated the area of the warehouse and the number of such clay pots that could be held in his mind. Just as his mind moved slightly, he already had the answer in his mind. The entire warehouse was full and could probably hold 90 of this kind of clay pots.
—100 pieces.
"I want 80 of this kind of clay pots!" Zhang Tie said, pointing to the kind of clay pots. Although there can be more piles in the warehouse, if there is room for people to move around, 80 is enough.
"How much did you say you wanted?" The man almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"I said I want 80 of these clay pots!" Zhang Tie repeated, "Can you deliver them to your door?"
Seeing that Zhang Tie didn't look like he was joking, the waiter became excited and became very enthusiastic about Zhang Tie's attitude. After leading Zhang Tie back to the store, the waiter diligently poured Zhang Tie a glass of water.
"What we do in our store is just a small business, and the profit is very thin. If we want to deliver it to your door, each clay pot will cost a little extra shipping cost. This thing is not valuable, but it is big and heavy. It will cost a lot of money to ask for help!
"
"Send 80 clay pots to Qianlongtang. Including the shipping fee, I'll give you nine gold coins. Is that enough?"
The clerk was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "That's enough, that's enough..." Qianlong Hall is not far from Bailong Town. If you really want to transport things there, it won't cost so much.
His family used to do small business, so Zhang Tie also knew the hard work of doing small business. At this time, he basically stopped bargaining, but generously counted nine gold coins. Once the golden gold coins were received, the clerk became even more enthusiastic.
stand up.
"I don't know when you want it, sir, so I can find someone to deliver it to you!"
"Just today, okay?"
"No problem, it's just that few people usually buy large clay pots like this, so we don't have that much stock. We have to find a kiln to make them freshly!"
"How many days will it take?"
“Just two days!”
"How much do you have in stock now?"
"About twenty or so!"
Zhang Tie thought for a moment and said, "Well, just send me the inventory you have now to Qianlong Hall first. I have to buy some things. After buying the things, I will wait for you at Qianlong Hall!"
"I don't know your last name!"
"My name is Zhang Tie. If your things haven't arrived yet, please wait for me!"
“Great!”
The deal was successfully concluded, and Zhang Tie left the pottery shop.
Later, Zhang Tie bought a lot of things in Bailong Town. When he returned to Qianlong Hall, there were already two carriages behind him to hold the things he bought.
Among those things, there were tons of various fruits, hundreds of kilograms of strong soju, hundreds of kilograms of honey, hundreds of kilograms of brown sugar, more than ten kitchen knives, ten chopping boards, and large iron sheets.
A bunch of pots and other miscellaneous things.
When Zhang Tie came to Qianlong Hall leisurely in a carriage, the huge clay pots he ordered also arrived.
Since outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie had to move these things to the Fuling House in Baicao Valley one by one.
After moving the things to Fuling House, Zhang Tie did not take any time off. Instead, he cleaned the more than 20 huge clay pots that were delivered today in the house, and then sterilized them with shochu in the pots.
poison.
These things are simple to say, but very trivial to do. After Zhang Tie finished cleaning and disinfecting the pots in the Fuling House, the whole afternoon passed like this.
Looking at the time, Zhang Tie went directly to the fish market on the pier. After completing today's release, he went to Zhixingyuan. He first contacted Wei Wu, Zhang Liang and others to talk about their relationship, and asked about the current situation of a few old friends.
Then he pulled a lot of girls from Zhixingyuan who had just finished dinner to work for him.
Of course, the work was not in vain. Zhang Tie set a price of one gold coin per person - of course, it was deducted from the debt the girls owed him. The remuneration was generous enough, and the girls all came.
Zhang Tie brought everyone to the Fuling House. When they arrived at the Fuling House, they were dumbfounded when faced with a room full of fruits and those clay pots.
"There are so many things piled up here, what do you want us to do?" Du Yuhan rolled her eyes at Zhang Tie and said softly.
Since the incident where Zhang Tie saved someone last time, the impression of Zhang Tie among the girls in Zhixingyuan has been greatly changed. Many girls took the initiative to call him senior brother when they saw him. This made Zhang Tie sigh, it really is.
Lu Yao knows that horse power can be seen in people's hearts over time, and a good character means it can withstand the test.
Zhang Tie glanced at Du Yuhan. This girl's attitude towards him changed drastically. She used to be fierce. But since he saved her last time, it was rare to see him blush twice, and he became a lot gentler. At this moment, he blushed twice.
, seeing Du Yuhan rolling her eyes at him, for some reason, Zhang Tie felt his mummy jump inexplicably.
For God's sake, I haven't known the taste of meat for a long time. A bunch of girls were looking at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie didn't dare to embarrass himself at this time, so he deliberately put his hands into his trouser pockets coolly and used his expression calmly.
"The right hand conceals shame", "What you have to do is very simple. If you see those fruits, your task today is to wash all one-third of those fruits, then chop them into pieces, and then put them into several pots.
Just put it in a jar!”
"Is it that simple?" Du Yuhan blinked and asked as if he couldn't believe it.
"Of course, senior brother, I have always been kind and generous, with a noble character. You have misunderstood me before and thought I was stingy. In fact, senior brother, I'd better make money. Just such a small amount of work is more than selling a hundred boxes of seashell oil each of you."
I want money!" Zhang Tie blinked at Du Yuhan.
The girls all gave Zhang Tie a look. Seeing that Zhang Tie had prepared all the tools, they started to divide their work one by one. This matter was indeed very simple. Zhang Tie only guided him for a few times.
In other words, the girls all acted in an orderly manner.
After being so busy in the morning, Zhang Tie remembered that he hadn't eaten yet and his stomach was already growling. Seeing the girls working nearby, Zhang Tie took a bunch of bananas from the pile of fruits and ate them.
"Brother, do you believe that every one of us girls can guess your zodiac sign just by looking at you?" Qu Liangying, who was washing fruits, saw Zhang Tie standing aside, rolled her eyes, and suddenly said something.
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, then finished the banana on his hand in three gulps, "How is that possible? I don't believe it. Who do you think I belong to?"
"Sisters, what do you think Senior Brother Zhang Tie belongs to?" Qu Liangying said loudly, "I'll count one, two, three, can we all tell it together?"
"good!"
"One...two...three...sisters, what does Zhang Tie belong to!"
"Monkey!" the girls said loudly together, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together.
Zhang Tie looked at the bunch of bananas in his hand and suddenly realized that he had been tricked by the girls. He also burst out laughing. He said that they were tops at first, but he didn't expect that they actually got him back. He was really petty.
woman.
"There is nothing wrong with being a monkey. I am a monkey, and I am definitely the monkey king among the monkeys. I can dominate more than a dozen female monkeys by myself. I don't have to do anything every day, so I just let a bunch of female monkeys pick fruits for me.
When washing fruits, whichever female monkey performs best, I will feed her bananas..." Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"spit……"
As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, more than a dozen fruits came towards him from all directions. Zhang Tie quickly fished his hands in the air, catching all the fruits in the air like lightning and holding them in his arms.
"Look, I can't wait when I hear there are bananas to eat. Don't fight for favors!" Zhang Tie teased the girls again carelessly. When he saw that several girls cutting fruits were already trying to throw knives over, Zhang Tie hurriedly
He was so frightened that he ran away with a pale face.
The girls looked at each other and laughed again.
…
It took less than three hours in total. Under Zhang Tie's guidance, the girls washed and chopped various fruits, put them into clay pots, added sugar, water, and honey, and finished the pots.
.
In the next two days, the girls returned to Lingtian Court every day after dinner and came to Zhang Tie's place to work for two hours to reduce the debt of one gold coin. They worked like this for three days. After three days, the entire Fuling House warehouse was full.
The 80 huge clay pots bought by Zhang Tie were piled high.
