Chapter 20: Profit margins of MSG

"Is that why you prepared last time and asked me to buy Shopee for you? I didn't talk about how Shopee can still be made, such a good condiment. If you sell this condiment to those high-ranking officials, then you will really make a lot of money. Luo Tong said excitedly.

Cheng Tieniu: They don't have time, listen to Luo Tong looking forward to the future there. What they are busy doing now is to fill their stomachs with all the food in front of them. Because they were so delicious that they couldn't stop.

"Eat it slowly, I made this seasoning taste, so I won't have to eat it in the future." I'm going to make a lot of delicacies in the future, so just wait and taste it. Li Tai said with a smile.

When everyone left, Li Tai began to think about it. If you want to use MSG, you can accumulate a huge wealth for yourself. That's not possible, because soon MSG is made in a way. It will be mastered by others, after all, the way MSG is made is too simple.

So Li Tai must find another way to make money. Only if you master the production method yourself, and others can't follow suit in a short period of time, only in this way can you ensure that you can make enough money.

In the evening, Zou Fengchi took his family and moved to Tiance Mansion. Li Tai arranged for him to live in his own small courtyard. and called Zou Fengchi to his room.

"Now that I've moved here, I'll live in peace. This king is not the kind of person who is ruthless, as long as you do things for this king wholeheartedly, this king will never treat you badly. Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi, who was standing beside him.

"His Royal Highness King Wei can rest assured, since I have chosen to do things for King Wei. will definitely be wholeheartedly, and everything will be based on the interests of King Wei. Zou Fengchi said.

"Taste the dish in front of you and feel different from what you've eaten before. After eating, tell me how you feel. Li Tai pointed to the dishes on the table in front of him and said to Zou Fengchi.

Zou Fengchi was not polite, he directly picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful and put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully. Soon Zou Fengchi discovered that the taste of this dish was much more delicious than usual.

"Your Majesty King Wei, this dish tastes much more delicious than the dishes I have eaten before. It seems that the chef of His Royal Highness King Wei should be a celebrity chef. Zou Fengchi didn't expect that it was the reason for the condiment. It's just that I subconsciously think that the chefs in Tiance Mansion are not ordinary.

"This dish is not made by a celebrity chef, but by the guys in the kitchen. It's just that this king asked him to add a seasoning called monosodium glutamate to the dish. Li Tai said to Zhou Feng.

To say that this Zou Fengchi is definitely a natural businessman. After hearing Li Tai's words, he immediately found a business opportunity from it, and then said to Li Tai: "If it is really as His Royal Highness King Wei said, then this seasoning will have a great business opportunity." ”

"It is worthy of the person chosen by this king, and he discovered the business opportunity so quickly. You're right, what this king asked you to do is to produce and sell this monosodium glutamate. It's just that at the beginning, I want you to sell it to dignitaries, because only they can afford to pay a high price. Li Tai said.

"You can elevate the taste of the dish to such a level. Then the manufacturing price of this monosodium glutamate must be expensive. Ordinary people may not be able to afford it, so His Royal Highness King Wei chose to open up the market among dignitaries and dignitaries. Definitely the right choice. Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.

Li Tai didn't say anything, just handed over a piece of paper full of words to Zou Fengchi. It is written on paper how this MSG is made. It's just that it's not the kind of MSG that we commonly use in later generations. Instead, it uses shrimp skin and shiitake mushrooms, homemade earthy monosodium glutamate.

"Your Royal Highness King Wei, the price of these two raw materials is not expensive, if you can really use them to make such a condiment. The profit is really amazing. After Zou Fengchi saw the manufacturing method, he said in surprise.

"Although the profit in this is really huge. But it won't be long before many people can produce MSG. After all, the way it is produced is too simple. And then we don't have an advantage, so we have to do it in a short time. Use this MSG to make a lot of money, and then use it to do other businesses. Li Tai said.

"His Royal Highness King Wei is right, the manufacturing process of this MSG is indeed too simple. I will find a way to add a certain sense of mystery to this MSG. In this way, in a short period of time, the method of making MSG will not be revealed. It's just that I don't know at what price His Royal Highness King Wei is going to sell this MSG. Zou Fengchi said.

Li Tai pointed to a small bottle on the table, and then said to Zou Fengchi: "This small bottle of monosodium glutamate, I am ready to sell it for one or two silver." Although the price is a little expensive, I believe that those dignitaries and dignitaries will not care about this little money. ”

"A tael of silver is an astronomical amount for the people. But for those dignitaries, it's really nothing. Just let them know the benefits of this MSG. I'm sure they'll snap it up. Zou Fengchi said confidently.

"I have a thousand taels of silver here, and you take it to make the start-up capital. First find a shop in Chang'an East City, and find a safe place to use as a monosodium glutamate production workshop. And for the workers employed, it must be strictly controlled. Otherwise, the way MSG is made will soon be leaked. Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi.

After Zou Fengchi took the silver, he looked at Li Tai in front of him excitedly. Until now, Zou Fengchi's last bit of mustard against Li Tai has disappeared.

It turned out that Li Tai controlled his wife and children in the Tiance Mansion. Zou Fengchi was very dissatisfied, but when he saw Li Tai, he handed himself a thousand taels of silver. I finally understood why Li Tai would do this. After all, to hand over such a large sum of money to a person I don't know. No one will be relieved if they change.

Zou Fengchi left with the money, and Li Tai told him before leaving. I won't let Zou Fengchi contribute for free. The first layer of Zou Fengchi's operating profits will be owned by Zou Fengchi. This is even more people, Zou Fengchi is full of motivation. That night, Zou Fengchi began to get busy. He wants to get MSG to the market as quickly as possible.

At dinner, Li Shimin also felt that tonight's dishes were different from before. So he said to the eldest grandson: "The house has changed the cook, this cook's skills are good." ”

"I don't know, but today's food does taste different." The eldest grandson Wujian also said puzzled. Then the eunuch who was in charge of Tiance Mansion was called over.

"The crown prince, the crown princess, there is no change of cook in the kitchen. It's just that the second son sent a seasoning to the kitchen today. used the seasoning sent by the second son, and the dish made is the current taste. The steward and eunuch replied.
