Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 39 Is this...what Mei Yin made really possible?

"Second uncle, how about...you return the gold leaves to me?"

Li Jinglong looked at Mei Yin and said weakly.

Mei Yin smiled and said: How is it possible? Once you buy a share, you can't go back.

Can I have some confidence in your second uncle?

If you say you can make a profit without losing money, you must make a profit without losing money.

How could I do that kind of loss-making business? "

Li Jinglong didn't believe Mei Yin's words at all.

No matter how I look at it, I feel like I’m going to lose money.

Mei Yin said: "I know that at this time, Ming Dynasty also had related toiletries.

The soaps on the market are no different from the soaps I am about to make.

The soap I make is crushing to them.

It will surely create a new era. "

Mei Yin is telling the truth. The rewards obtained by feeding pigs will definitely make a big difference in the soap made.

It is not comparable to the soaps of this era.

It's a pity that Li Jinglong simply ignored Mei Yin's exciting pie.

"Second uncle, let me tell you first, if I lose the good money, you will have to take care of my food here in Shuangshui Village from now on!"

Mei Yin nodded: "That's natural."

With that said, Mei Yin found pen and ink and wrote two contracts under the oil lamp.

And signed and stamped.

“This contract is for each person, and I will provide the skills and you will pay for it.

Each person made half the money. "

After Mei Yin finished writing, he signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and handed it to Li Jinglong.

In other words, the most important reason why Mei Yin wanted to bring Li Jinglong into the group was certainly not because of Li Jinglong's golden leaves.

The most important thing is to take a fancy to Li Jinglong's identity.

Mei Yin knows better than anyone whether soap makes money or not.

After making money, it is difficult to avoid some people being jealous.

If it's just a small amount of money, it's okay, it's easy to hold on to.

But once it becomes too profitable, it will definitely attract the attention of some big shots.

With his current status, it is not easy to completely guard it.

Even if it can be defended, it will take a lot of energy to do it.

So it would be better to directly bring Li Jinglong into partnership.

In this way, all problems are solved.

According to the status of Li Jinglong's family, even Li Shanchang and other dignitaries in Huaixi did not dare to make a move on this matter.

With such a powerful backer, you would be a fool not to bring him in!

Moreover, with this layer of binding, his relationship with Li Jinglong and the Li family will become even more different.

It will be easier to talk about other things in the future.

Li Jinglong felt that it didn't matter whether he signed a contract or not.

After all, the second uncle's business was a sure-fire deal.

And made fifty-five cents of money? How is it possible!

But seeing that Mei Yin was in high spirits and insisted on asking him to sign, he signed and pressed his fingerprints.

Even so, he didn't take it to heart.

Even if the second uncle is really good at making money with these things, how much money can he make?

……

The next morning, Mei Yin got up and served the pigs first.

At this time, Li Jinglong not only married Mei Yin, but also brought his pigs with him.

"Don't worry about feeding the pigs, just let me do it myself."

In order to earn as many rewards as possible, Mei Yin took over all the work of feeding the pigs.

Don't let Li Jinglong interfere.

Li Jinglong was so moved that he burst into tears.

This second uncle is worthy of being a second uncle. He is really reliable. If something happens, the second uncle will come to you!

He wouldn't let himself get involved in such dirty and tiring work as feeding pigs. The second uncle was worth keeping in touch with!

Mei Yin worked hard to feed the pig.

It's just a pity that after this busy period, there is no reward that can make you stronger by feeding pigs.

After they had fed the pigs, had breakfast, and arranged everything properly, Chief Zhao Zhao and others also came over with baskets and other tools.

I will continue to catch and sell fish with Mei Yin.

“Uncle Zhao, we have changed our profession today and will no longer catch and sell fish.

Switch to other businesses. "

Mei Yin's words stunned Zhao Jiachang and others.

No... no more fish?

Although Mr. Mei caught a lot of fish from the river in the past two days, the river is still quite wide and there are many fish.

According to this intensity, it will still be no problem if I catch it for another ten days and a half.

On average, you can make five dollars a day.

After ten days, it will be fifty strings. No matter how many people ask for this kind of business, they can’t get it!

In the end, Mr. Mei said he wouldn’t do it and he wouldn’t do it?

"This thing doesn't make any money. I can only make a small amount of money. It's too hard. Let's switch to something else."

Mei Yin might as well not explain. His explanation made Zhao Jiachang and others feel their heads buzzing.

This...isn't it too little to earn five strings in one day?

Isn't this incredible? !

They could get fifty coins a day from Mr. Mei, and they were all happy to buy some meat to improve their lives.

Mr. Mei's five goals a day is not enough. This... the gap between people is really big!

"Then... I don't know, Mr. Mei, what should we do next?

Zhao Jiachang held back the surprise and shock in his heart and looked at Mei Yin to ask.

"Make some soap to sell."

What is soap? ?

Zhao Jiachang and others looked confused.

However, Mr. Mei is still willing to let them continue to work and pay the same wages as before. Director Zhao and the others are not too entangled anymore.

Mr. Mei is a person who has seen the big world, and his vision is different from that of these mud-legged people.

If he says he can make money, he must really make money.

Next, Mei Yin took Zhao Jia Chang and the others, and borrowed the ox cart of Zhao Jia Chang's family, to go to the city to make purchases.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, I came back with many things.

There is an iron pot, a lot of suet, some fat, and other ingredients...

After a lot of shopping, the money I earned from selling fish in the first two days was basically spent.

Zhao Jiachang and the others felt sorry for him, fearing that Mr. Mei would lose money next time.

The next step is to boil the oil in a pot and add the corresponding things to make soap.

After learning that Main used so much lard to make the soap, Zhao Jiachang and others were heartbroken.

After all, in the eyes of these people, lard is an absolutely good thing.

Many people can't eat more than two ounces of lard after a year.

As a result, Mr. Mei now uses so much lard to make soap. This is... really luxurious.

As for Li Jinglong's ideas, they are completely different from those of Zhao Jiachang and others.

His focus was not on the price, but on the fact that Mei Yin used lard to make soap.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt it was very unreliable.

Lard is greasy and difficult to clean off your hands.

As a result, the second uncle actually said that he would use this thing to make the best toiletries.

It removes the ash and removes the oil, but it still smells delicious and makes people fall in love with it.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't connect the lard in front of him with the soap his uncle was talking about.

Mei Yin could see the thoughts of several people.

But he didn't explain too much and just made soap step by step.

Of course, he didn't do some key things in front of everyone, but did it alone.

Zhao Jiachang and others were also very sensible and did not follow him.

After a lot of work, the first batch of one hundred pieces of soap was freshly baked.

Mei Yin used a total of ten molds with different patterns engraved on them.

There are plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, and other patterns, which look very exquisite.

And each pattern corresponds to a different fragrance.

The main focus is a boutique route.

Ordinary people in this era don’t even use ordinary toiletries.

Many people don't even know that this thing exists, let alone let them buy such high-end goods.

Therefore, the soaps manufactured by Mei Yin were prepared to take money from large households from the beginning.

Those big dog owners are so rich and don’t take out their money and use it for themselves. It’s really a big loss!

"Brother, come on, let's give it a try and see if it works!"

Mei Yin picked up a piece of soap, felt it in her hand, and brought it to her nose to smell it. The smell of osmanthus penetrated her nostrils.

It's really good, nothing wrong with it.

Immediately he handed it to Li Jinglong and asked him to try it.

Li Jinglong took it in his hand and felt that the soap was still smooth.

It becomes even more uncomfortable when you think about it being made with lard.

It's tempting to put it aside and not try it.

It's just that his second uncle is watching by his side, so it's not easy for him to do this.

When I had to endure the discomfort, I tried the soap.

I was already mentally prepared that this soap would be very difficult to use and my hands would be greasy...
