Chapter 50: Li Chengqian's Helpless Move
"Uncle, I think the village seems to make a living by making vegetable oil, right?" Even the old guy in the oil mill had never heard of soybean oil, and Li Chengqian was completely dead this time, and he had to find another way to eat soybean oil.
"Yes! In this way, you can increase some income, have more money in your hands, and maintain it in the event of a famine. Zheng Laohan lit the cigarette pouch in his hand, took a puff and said.
"I have a way of making oil in my hands, I wonder if the old man is interested?" Since he already knew that soybean oil did not exist, Li Chengqian didn't want to grind, anyway, it was the same for anyone, as long as he could eat it.
As for making money with this thing, Li Chengqian thinks it's completely unnecessary.
Not because it is noble, but because the yield of this thing is not high, according to the way he provides, it can produce up to 14% of soybean oil, which is by no means something that ordinary people can afford.
"But the soybean oil that the little boy said?" Old Man Zheng asked with squinted eyes.
"Not bad." Li Chengqian nodded.
"Why? Does the little boy believe in the little old man so much? ”
"I don't believe or disbelieve, I just need to have this thing, and I don't care who made it." The so-called ass determines the head, if Li Chengqian is crossing through ordinary people's homes, he may care about the outflow of technology.
But now that he is the prince, whether he is skilled or not has nothing to do with him, and he wishes that no one knew that the oil making technology was passed on by him.
Some time ago, it was too much toss, and many courtiers were already preparing to impeach him, and the emperor's father repeatedly warned him not to engage in these things again.
However, Li Chengqian said it easily, but Zheng Laohan was stupid and asked in a daze: "The little boy is not afraid that the old man will pass on the secret recipe?" ”
"Of course. Uncle can also see that we are not ordinary people's children, so we don't look at the money from oil production, Uncle understands? Li Chengqian said in a serious voice.
Wang Wu and the others who were standing on the side couldn't stop twitching their faces, Li Chengqian didn't care, but they cared, it was all money. But soon they found out that things were different from what they thought, because Li Chengqian did not avoid them, but generously explained the way of making oil in front of everyone.
Starting with the steamed bean cake and continuing through the final pressing process, there is no shying away from it.
Don't worry about Zheng Laohan listening to it, even Wang Wu and others can understand it.
It was only at this time that everyone believed that Li Chengqian really didn't care who squeezed out the oil, he just wanted to eat it.
Zheng Laohan, who has been squeezing oil all his life, looked at Cheng Qian even more dumbfounded, thinking in his heart, if this kid was his grandson, he would beat him to death.
I have never seen such a loser, this kind of thing that has never appeared in Datang, it is a monopoly business, as long as it is done, it will be money to sell.
But Li Chengqian's approach looks like he has a grudge against money, and he tells the secret recipe in front of so many people, but he is afraid that soon this kind of oil will be sold all over Chang'an.
"How? Uncle believes it now? Li Chengqian, who didn't know what thoughts Zheng Laohan was thinking, asked with a smile.
"Believe, believe. But dolls, if the adults in your family know ....... Zheng Laohan was still a little worried.
The dignitaries and nobles in the city are not something that he can provoke as a little old man, and he is also afraid that Li Chengqian's family will come to the door.
"Don't worry, uncle, I don't do this business at home, and only I know this method, if I don't say it after I go back, no one will know." Looking at the tangled old man, Li Chengqian comforted him.
At the end, he pointed to Wang Wu and the others on the side, and said jokingly: "Uncle, if you don't do this, they will have to get it." ”
"We don't dare!" Wang Wu and the other guard didn't wait for Zheng Laohan to answer, they bowed down and said at the same time.
Although they didn't know Li Chengqian's identity, looking at Pei Xingjian's respectful appearance, they also knew that this young man was not from an ordinary family.
"Oh, you're all right? Didn't Lao Tzu just want to eat some oil? You don't dare, you don't do it, Cheng Cheng is against Lao Tzu, right? "Li Chengqian is finally a fried hair, since he met Pei Xingjian, everything has not gone well, and he doesn't know how to offend the immortals.
"We don't dare." As soon as Li Chengqian became angry, the aura of the superior who had been cultivated in the palace for half a year was unconsciously revealed, and even Zheng Laohan, who was sitting on the side, made amends with Wang Wu and others.
"Now I put my words here, you dare to do it, and you don't dare to do it. Especially you, old Zheng Tou, I will come to buy oil in seven days, if the whole village is not beheaded. "If you don't listen to good words, then you can only be ruthless, and if you can't be soft, you can come hard.
"Childe spares his life, Childe spares his life." As soon as he heard that he was going to cut off his head, Zheng Laohan's knees were weak and brittle.
"If you make oil in seven days, you will naturally spare your life. And I advise you not to fight the idea of escaping, otherwise you will run to the cape of the Heavenly Cliff, and this king will also bring you back. Li Chengqian sighed in his heart while saying cruel words, it was really not easy to eat stir-fried vegetables.
However, the excited Li Chengqian was stunned for a while, and he blurted out 'this king', which scared Zheng Laohan stupidly, and almost clubbed his head into the ground, deeply regretting why he was meddling.
Looking at Zheng Laohan who pestled his head into the ground, Li Chengqian didn't feel good in his heart, but if he was allowed to get up at this time, the wicked man in front of him would be in vain.
was ruthless, and said to Wang Wu and the others: "You two are the same, after seven days, if you can't see oil, cut them together." ”
"The king, the prince, so-and-so, a certain person can't do it." Wang Wu and the other guard twitched their whole faces together, and their voices trembled.
They are not ordinary people like Zheng Laohan, as guards, they naturally understand that the nobles can do anything for the sake of face, let alone the current prince.
"If you can't do it, stay and learn."
Wang Wu and the others originally thought that Pei Xingjian could say something to help them, but they didn't expect that this young master looked at them with envy, as if they had gained some great benefit.
After saying the cruel words, Li Chengqian looked at the old man Zheng who had been keeping his head on the ground silently, and knew in his heart that if he didn't leave, the old man was afraid that he wouldn't get up, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and walked towards the car.
A feeling of helplessness spread in Li Chengqian's heart, which was obviously a good thing, but in the end, it became a force to oppress people.
Is the people stupid? Or is it the mistrust generated by the gulf between the rich and the poor? With Li Chengqian's current wisdom, it can't be explained.
"Your Highness, are you really going to cut them down in seven days?" When he arrived at the carriage, Xue Rengui, who had a gloomy face, asked in a deep voice, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to have such a domineering performance, which made him feel like he was following the wrong person.
"Don't worry, as long as they do what I say, they will definitely make soybean oil. And it's just about scaring them, otherwise they won't try their best to get it. After Li Chengqian climbed into the car, he turned his head to look at old Xue Rengui and said helplessly.
"Scare them?" Xue Rengui looked back at Zheng Laohan, who was standing up with Wang Wu's support, turned around and asked softly, "Just for a little food?" ”
"A little bit to eat? Rengui, that's not a little food, it's really going to be made, and the gold sold is expensive, don't believe it and wait and see. For a guy like Xue Rengui who has the idea of loyalty in his head, Li Chengqian thinks that explaining to him what is a tribute is simply playing the piano to a cow.
