Chapter 44 What Should I Do if Someone Is Selling in Tandem?

The sky was completely clear. Li Longji and others had dinner and brought rice cakes and drawings.

Yao Chong found an excuse and ran away with him.

One hundred jars of fermented bean curd costs 20 yuan per jar.

Yao Chong was divided into five jars when he was on the road. He took one jar in his hand and shook his head: "Profiteer, you can obviously make a bigger jar for more decorations, but you have to use a small jar."

Li Chengqi couldn't bear to see others say bad things about Li Yi.

There he emphasized: "One thousand yuan is a jar. Always open the lid to take out the jar. This will make the red jar in the jar messy, and it will also cause the red jar in the jar to be damaged."

Li Chengqi said the red recipe, but Li Yi didn't call it fermented bean curd because he was afraid that others would guess the ingredients from the name.

"A hundred dollars a jar is fine! Two cents a dollar." Yao Chong was still angry.

He found that he liked the taste and texture of fermented bean curd very much and wanted to buy more. However, it cost one hundred dollars and he couldn't afford it.

Li Longji ignored the two of them, his mind already immersed in the soil.

Take two drawings in your hand, one for soil and one for wood.

Li Yi said that for marching and fighting, wooden rafts are easy to make and can be used to grind dry rice and wheat, but only strong men can operate them.

This is improvised and then quickly shelled.

The grain and grass in the army cannot be carried directly without shells, and it is not easy to preserve.

If there are cavalry or livestock, they must be fed.

Just take off the shells, bran and bran and use them for feeding.

At this moment, Li Longji wished that all the farmers in the Tang Dynasty would use that set of farming tools in the blink of an eye.

"Li Yi, the proud son of heaven." Li Longji sighed with emotion as he recalled one thing.

After hearing this, Yao Chong opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips and looked at the sky.

Li Chengqi chuckled twice: "Is Mr. Yao unhappy?"

"Farming and education, no." Yao Chong said calmly.

"Then what's going on?" Li Chengqi asked knowingly.

"You, King Song, are His Majesty's eldest brother. How can you take something from a junior for nothing?"

Yao Chong was angry, you are the king of Song Dynasty, you don’t know what you did before?

"Chengqi disagrees with what Prime Minister Yao said, so how can he say that he took it for nothing? Do you think someone came to the village to cause trouble?" Li Chengqi raised his chin.

He added: "You, Prime Minister Yao, know that soy sauce, red cubes, and hard-boiled round eggs are delicious and expensive, but you don't think others will care?"

Li Chengqi made it clear that it was me, Zhuangzi who was using various relationships to protect Li Yi.

"The original appearance is okay." Yao Chong argued.

"Bang!" Li Chengqi turned his head disdainfully.

Li Longji didn't want to hear the two people bickering, so he said, "When I get back, I hope Yuan Zhi will order Sinong Temple to handle the matter of soil rice."

"I know." Yao Chong looked serious.

The good stuff is given away by the young proprietor for free. If it is not promoted well, someone will lose his head.

At this time, the people in Li Yizhuang took advantage of the clear weather and got busy.

In the paddy field, a group of people were pushing rice horses to transport rice seedlings. No one wore the oil coats Li Yi asked people to make.

They also don't plant rice on rice horses, which is too slow.

Wearing only boxers, each of them bent down quickly to plant rice in the paddy fields.

The people from Zhangjiazhuangzi moved the wheat that had been exposed to rain to the Ba River and quickly shelled it with earthen rice hulls.

This part is what they prepare to eat at home.

Li Yi ran back to his courtyard, closed three doors, and entered the general teacher's storage room.

Take out the tools, refer to the content in the book, and practice seriously.

A few days passed like this.

May twenty-three.

The forty-two students in Zhuangzi once again found other students to have a party.

Simple winding corridors, small bridges and flowing water have been completed.

The branch of the canal water system in the north flows into Huangzhuang and then flows down into Zhuangzi.

This water will be used for the Qu Shui Shang that will be held today.

In order to get water for daily use, Zhuangzi dug five wells and used oranges to get water.

Jujue is a lever with a weight behind it and a bucket connected to a rope in front.

When people draw water, they hold the rope and exert downward force to fill the bucket with water. When they let go, the bucket is pulled up.

By using the force of lifting water upward to press downward, it is easier for people to exert force, and the body's own weight is also involved.

Otherwise, use a windlass and shake slowly.

Or just tie the bucket with a rope. There is a round hole in the bottom of the bucket and a piece of leather on the hole.

When the bucket is put into the well, the bottom falls first, the water opens the skin, and the water flows into the bucket.

When you lift it up, the skin will close and the water will not be able to escape.

Of course there are gaps, and a small amount of water will still flow out.

Like a one-way valve.

This function is also used on Jumei, instead of a sealed-bottomed wooden barrel that is filled with water by shaking on the water in the well.

Zhuangzi's small changes in drawing water from wells have been spread out, and others will understand it as soon as they see it.

Li Yi waited until the people over there were almost there before going over. He stood next to a well and thought about it.

"Pressure wells need pipes and seals before they can absorb water. In the past, wells in rural areas used rubber seals and added a one-way plug valve. What should I use instead of rubber?"

Li Yi recalled that he used to make sealing valves for wells used in rural areas.

Cut off the skin of the inner tire, clamp it between two iron pieces, pass an iron rod through it, and the connection is completed.

"I wonder if bare leather will work?" Li Yi planned to use leather to seal it instead of the rubber sheet.

Water pipes are easy to handle, cast iron pipes.

Thinking about it, he went back to the yard to draw pictures. He didn't need to buy technology from the system, he could do it.

After the drawing was completed, he came out to find Song De, the manager.

Ask people, look around, and see Song De at the construction site.

"You're here just in time, proprietor. The soy sauce and boiled round eggs are not selling well today. The prices are low and they won't bid."

Song De was very angry. When the soy sauce was taken out, a group of people shouted a price, and the others remained silent.

Li Yi smiled: "Bid-rigging? There's collusion."

"Yes, UU Kanshu www.uukkanshu.net proprietor, they unite." Song De agreed.

Then he looked at Li Yi expectantly, knowing that the proprietor always had a good way to solve the problem.

"I will sell it tomorrow. Tell them that there is only one hundred kilograms of soy sauce. If the price is not high, it will be fifty kilograms the next day. Do the same with the five-spice tea eggs. Don't make so much tonight."

Li Yi looked calm. If he wanted to divide the two hundred kilograms of soy sauce, he would give it to one hundred kilograms.

Let’s see who can’t hold on to the continued alliance between you businessmen and wealthy families.

"Is there any other way?" Song De noted this and asked again.

"Secret bid. Ask each of them to write down how much they want to pay and put it in a closed box. Only mention the highest price and hand over the rest secretly."

Li Yi gave another idea.

"Then what if they also discuss it in advance?" Song De didn't understand.

"They negotiated in advance and offered the highest price of 5,000 yuan and ten pounds. When you shouted, you said the highest price was 6,000 yuan, and then we wouldn't sell it."

Li Yi explains.

Song De understood instantly that those who united in this way would internally suspect others of offering high prices, and the alliance would be broken in an instant.

He was in a good mood. The proprietor was indeed the proprietor, that's how powerful he was.

"Manager Song, please find a craftsman to make it." Li Yi gave Song De the drawing of the pressure pumping well in his hand.

Song De flipped through two pages and frowned: "Proprietor, are you the one who draws water?"

"Exactly." Li Yi nodded.

"Why is it so troublesome? We have a well." Song De didn't understand.

"I'm afraid that children will fall into the well while fetching water privately, so no children can play."

Li Yi smiled, and the child leaned his whole body on Yang Jing's arm, using his weight to press the water, and jumped up and down.

Song De also smiled, with a warm smile.
