Chapter 43 Why? (Continued)(1/2)
In the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion, Wang watched his son Xiao Fangzhu have a meal. The little guy delivered the meal with a red croaker, and it tasted very delicious.
Seeing that his son was eating well, Wang was very pleased. His son was always picky about food. He ate what he liked and did not touch anything he didn't like, which gave her a headache.
Wang Lin, who was talking with her side, was very happy to see her nephew eating deliciously and introduced her to her sister: "This red croaker was made by my friend in Poyang, and it is really good."
After hearing his younger brother mention his friend in Poyang, Wang asked, "Friend in Poyang? Is that Li Sanlang?"
"Yes, this is actually a workplace system opened by Li Sanlang and his friends. Of course, the boss is his friend, his surname is Peng, and he is the boss of Da Cat Peng."
"Big catfish Peng! Is it the big catfish Peng with delicious salmon and five-mon?" Xiao Fangzhu interrupted when he heard this, Wang Lin nodded, and Wang quickly stopped him: "Eat without saying anything."
Xiao Fangzhu quickly closed his voice and continued to eat red croaker. After hearing his younger brother's words, Wang was curious: "That Li Sanlang seems to be very capable?"
"Yes, his family is not well-off, but he is very capable. Now he has run a workshop to sell fish hooks and buys sailboats to catch fish. He is very capable."
"Then, did Xu Chanjun mention it again and ask him to go to the royal palace to accompany the prince?"
Wang Lin shook her head: "He has already worked in Shaofu Temple."
"That's it..." Wang stopped asking. After all, this was just a casual question. She knew that her younger brother had dates with Li Sanlang from Poyang, so she asked by the way.
Wang Lin looked at her nephew and asked her sister: "But, this red croaker is really good. Does sister like to eat it?"
"It's okay, it's very appetizing, of course, it's not as good as the delicacies."
Wang Lin agreed: "Indeed, it is the level of home-cooked dishes. However, it is precisely because of the appetizing and unique flavor that Fan Poyang would give the red croaker as a gift to the king."
Wang knew about this. Fan Xu, the inner historian of Poyang, was once the consultant of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion and had a good relationship with the Xiangdong Prince, so he gave a few cans of red beans produced in Poyang not long ago.
My son likes to eat it very much, but Wang Lin recently sent a few cans.
"I also heard that Fan Poyang sent some red beetles to Jiankang and to King Xuancheng." After Wang Lin said that, he helped his sister pour tea, sat back, and continued:
"It seems that this red croaker will be very popular. If my sister wants to eat it, I will have it here in the future."
"All of them? Could it be that it was sent by Li Sanlang?"
"That's right." Wang Lin finished speaking and looked at her nephew: "Tomorrow, my uncle will bring a few more cans, okay?"
The little guy nodded: "Okay!"
Wang looked at Wang Lin and wanted to ask something, but he still didn't speak.
The whole family is working hard. She and her sister serve the king for the sake of the family, and the brothers serve the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion, and for the sake of the family.
Wang Lin made many friends outside, which attracted a lot of criticism. Wang knew that his younger brother was not easy, because of his personality, and for the sake of his family.
The Wang family was originally just a military strategist in Kuaiji, with a low status and a tight family.
Fortunately, she looked like a flower and jade, and the king took a chance to get rid of the military status.
My father was appointed as the attendant of the Xiangdong Kingdom, and my brothers also had the opportunity to become an official, but such a status was easily lost.
So in order to have more protection, Wang's sister, who is also as beautiful as a flower, has also become the king's woman.
Everything in the Wang family is based on the king's love for her sisters. So for herself and for the sake of her family, she and her sister must work hard, and the brothers are also working hard.
Such efforts require money and a lot of money.
She and her sister were in the palace and needed to spend money to show kindness frequently. They did not ask for a single call, but only asked the maids. The servants did not help the child, and even became the princess' eyes and ears and heard from him.
When brothers are away, they also have to make connections, all kinds of social engagements, food, drink and fun, and it also costs money.
Raising the tribe and servants also cost money.
My younger brother has so many friends in the world, and the welcome and sending people is inevitable and costs money.
However, although the Wang family also operates some industries, their income is not abundant compared to their expenditures. The "monthly money" obtained by the sisters from the royal palace and the rewards from the king did not have much surplus.
Therefore, my younger brother Wang Lin made friends everywhere, both for the sake of multiple friends and for finding more ways to make money.
Li Li from Poyang seems to be very good at making money. Now he sends the red croaker, probably to... make money together?
Is it specific? Wang is a little curious, but he doesn't plan to ask. She and her sister have no time to think about it in order to deal with the aggressive princess.
After Xiao Fangzhu finished his meal, he went outside to play. Seeing that his younger brother didn't say anything, Wang sat down and played with a teacup. When he looked closely, he found that it turned out to be a white porcelain teacup.
This tea cup was brought by my younger brother, but she didn't have it here.
Wang thought about it, and felt aroused, saying that he wanted to go to the garden to relax and let his younger brother accompany him.
As the sister and brother walked, there was no one left and right. Wang Lin whispered:
"Sister, now there is something that can help the family a lot."
"Home?" Wang noticed the word, and his heart moved, but his face remained as usual and continued to move forward.
......
"Maybe the red croaker be poisonous? Li Lang, that's not what you said before!"
"Wang Lang, this is just a possibility. Let me tell you slowly..."
In a certain elegant room in the restaurant, Li Li was explaining to his "partner" Wang Lin, explaining why the newly launched "Red Rod" by him and Peng Jun is "possibly poisonous and can kill people."
It is of great importance, Wang Lin is concerned, and Li Li certainly needs to explain and give a briefing. He cannot be perfunctory. He should tell the situation of the new products, red croaker and fish pine.
Li Li poured wine for the other party, and then said, "Indeed, the way to make this red croaker is different from that of a fish croaker..."
Of course, the ingredients are fish pieces, and fried fish pieces. Then, take appropriate red fermented tofu, put them together in a steamed porcelain jar and seal them, and then turn them into a red croaker.
The key is that red fermented bean curd is the flavor of red fermented bean curd.
Ordinary fish croquettes are sealed into the jar with crushed rice for fermentation for a period of time, so they are fermented products with a sour taste.
Red croaker can be regarded as a food made of cooked fish pieces and fermented tofu dipping sauce. It does not require fermentation and is simple to make. It also uses porcelain jars to encapsulate cans to obtain a long shelf life.
Fish pine is used to stir-fry the fish meat in a large iron pot, which is fluffy and dry, and is also placed in a steamed porcelain jar to package it, making it into the original version of canned fish pine for sale.
Therefore, after such processing, the added value of live fish can be increased and transported for long distances, expanding the sales market and sales volume, which is much better than simply selling live fish and making fish.
Red croaker and fish pine are all new products without competitors, so as long as you promote fame and control the quality, you can achieve a lot of money.
Li Li tried to use simple words to briefly explain the production process of these two products to Wang Lin, but he did not mention "fry", and the method of making fermented tofu was not explained in detail.
He has made fermented tofu homemade, so he knows the method, but he also knows the risks: fermented tofu is poisonous and will cause death after eating it.
Last fall, this "big project" was supposed to be officially opened because of a batch of fermented bean curd problems and the dog who tried the drug was poisoned and died, so the entire project was urgently suspended.
It took Li Li and Peng Jun half a year to make rectifications to re-ensure that there were no major problems in brewing tofu, and dared to make red bean curd on a large scale and sell it to the public.
It is a gimmick with white porcelain jars, and the marketing effect is very good.
After Li Li finished speaking, he emphasized again: "Don't worry, Wang Lang, we will certainly not take human life into account when we borrow money to run this workshop. Since we dare to sell it, we must have random inspections of every batch of products."
"You really scared me."
Wang Lin sighed: "My sister, sister, and nephew like to eat this red croaker. If you have to eat some today, you will ask if it is absolutely fine."
Li Li replied: "So that's it. Wang Lang just rest assured. There will be no problem with the red croaker and the fish pine!"
"Okay, I don't worry, but there is really no problem with this red croaker and fish pine." Wang Lin said this, and suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Does Li Lang know the origin of Fan Fujun, the inner historian of Poyang?"
Li Li was not sure about the specific situation, so he shook his head and Wang Lin revealed a news: "Fan Fujun is frugal by nature. He served as the Consultant of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion and had a good relationship with the king, so he gave him a few cans of red beetles before."
"Fan Fujun later served as the attendant of the King of Xuancheng and was highly respected by the King of Xuancheng, so he also sent a few cans of red beetles to Jiankang before."
"The reputation of this red croaker has spread very quickly. Nowadays, many merchants in Jiankang are asking where to buy this red croaker. I think that in the near future, Peng Lang's restaurant threshold will be broken."
This is good news. Li Li only hopes to find a sales outlet for Hongqi in Xunyang and Fengcheng. Unexpectedly, a gift from his parents actually made Hongqi famous in Jiankang.
Li Li asked again: "May I ask, who is the King of Xuancheng?"
"The eldest son of the current crown prince may become the emperor many years later."
"Ah?" Li Li was surprised. He didn't expect that such a cheap red croaker would be given to the crown prince. If a certain can of red croaker was poisonous, then...
What if the old emperor or crown prince is poisoned to death...
Thinking of this, Li Li quickly drank a glass of wine to suppress his shock.
Wang Lin continued: "Jiankang has many powerful families, and there are many wealthy families. If the red croaker is really popular, of course, wealthy families cannot eat often, but the family will inevitably eat some. If something happens, it will be bad."
Li Li almost patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Peng Lang and I will definitely pay attention to the quality of the red croaker and fish pine!"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "So, if the red croaker and the fish pine are in short supply, my friends want to purchase goods, I'm afraid..."
"Wang Lang, don't worry, Wang Lang's friends are our friends. We will give priority to how much goods they want!"
"Then it's just a matter of determination?"
"One word is certain!"
Li Li found Wang Lin to discuss cooperation, and of course he was sure: he judged that Wang Lin must be short of money.
This person is so generous and likes to make friends in the world, so he will inevitably come and see him off. The world is urgent and the expenses will be quite large.
The wealth of the Wang family is all entrusted to their two daughters. When the Wang sisters are in the palace, they must spend money to win people's hearts. They can handle things everywhere and spend money.
Perhaps the Wang sisters can be self-sufficient, but they don’t have much surplus to deal with their brothers’ expenses.
The Wang brothers have to make some connections and make connections, and they always have to spend money. No one thinks that the money is too much. So, if you do business together and make big money openly, Wang Lin is irresistible to resist such an attractiveness.
That's why Li Li came to the door, and as he thought, Wang Lin could not refuse.
