Chapter 273 Playboy
Yuan Gang: "Eight buckets are not a lot, how many nobles are there in the palace, can they finish it? It's a pity to waste it!"
Hu Yanwei waved his hand and said: "It can't be wasted. After this thing is sent to the palace, as long as the amount is enough to meet the needs of those nobles at any time, the rest will naturally be divided up. Who can stop those in charge who don't taste it? There are many people who open their mouths secretly in the palace. When eating something, they just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. They don't say anything. It's not suitable to store this thing for a long time, it's better than throwing it away."
"However, there is one thing I want to explain first. One thousand gold coins can only be an account on the bright side. The person in charge of this matter in the palace, I have to return two hundred gold coins to them. This is what I hinted to them. Otherwise, things can't go so smoothly. It can be regarded as a waste of money to avoid disasters, and it will save less trouble in the future."
Shopkeeper Gao asked suspiciously, "Eight barrels a day, 1,000 gold coins a month, isn't there a big difference from our current selling price?"
Hu Yanwei said contemptuously: "It's only 10,000 gold coins in a year, how can the palace be short of this money?"
Yuan Gang: "The price difference between inside and outside is so big, are you not afraid that the palace will find out and trouble you?"
Hu Yanwei stared and said: "Can the food in the palace be the same as the food outside? The ones in the palace must be the best, and the cheap things sold outside can be eaten by the nobles in the palace?"
Yuan Gang: "I can only do this. I can only sell this kind of tofu. I can't make more noble tofu."
His energy is not used to develop soy products, he will only sell this tofu brain, and has no other plans at all.
"..." Hu Yanwei was speechless, and found that this guy was stubborn.
"Hehe!" Shopkeeper Gao couldn't help laughing, he seemed to understand what Hu Yanwei meant.
Hu Yanwei stretched out his hand to hook Yuan Gang, hooked his shoulders with him, had a beard on his face, shook his head and said: "I said brother, His Majesty the Emperor is not stupid. The tricky price of such a public sale of things can't be hidden from His Majesty's eyeliner. Sooner or later you will know. But it depends on who makes the money. My father is a general. .”
"I won't talk about anything else. When you come from the frontier army, some people join hands to resell war horses and want to kill people to silence them. How courageous is that? That is the huge profit that is not afraid of death. We are a reasonable and legal business. We make a little money that others don't like. No one will bother me. Besides, why bother me? It's normal for the price to be sold outside.
"I don't want you to make more expensive tofu. You, if you send the freshest tofu to the palace, you should send it fresh out of the oven. The workmanship should be clean and meticulous, and we should pay special attention to it. We spent more energy and more labor. Naturally, it is the best. It is reasonable to sell it at a higher price. Who can say anything? If you ask for the same price as the outside, it is unreasonable. Go to the palace? Do you understand what I mean?"
Yuan Gang is not stupid, so how could he not understand? Going around and talking about it, there is actually no difference between the ones sold in the palace and the ones sold outside, it's just an extra saying, the ones sent into the palace are the best!
But looking at Hu Yanwei's eyes is still a little weird, and I found that this guy seems to be very active in selling tofu, usually he hardly asks, but if he doesn't intervene, he will intervene, a small business will be sold into the palace as soon as it is sold, this way is not available to everyone.
Hu Yanwei naturally wants to be positive. His family confiscated his profits. Seeing that he can only get 10% of such a popular item, he naturally wants to find a way to increase the sales volume.
For ordinary people, the imperial palace is very mysterious, but for him, he knows many people in the imperial palace, so why not earn reasonable money for easy things?
Yuan Gang asked, "Does the general know you did this?"
The reason why he went to Huyan's family to 'cry for injustice' was because he found out that Huyan Wuhen had a good character, otherwise he would not have dared to go to Huyan's family.
Hu Yanwei asked back: "What do you know? Everyone says delicious food, but who can say that people in the palace are not allowed to eat it? The palace found me and asked me to pay tribute. Can I refuse?"
Come on, Yuan Gang understands, these words must be used by this guy to deal with his own father, Huyan Wuhen probably loses his temper after hearing this!
He kind of understood why Huyan Wuhen only let this son take a idle job and didn't give him real power. He probably knew something about his son's character, and if he gave this guy more power, he would definitely be able to make bigger things happen.
Shopkeeper Gao laughed again and interjected, "Actually, sugar consumes the most money for this tofu bar. Even the sugar that is sent to the palace can be saved. There is no shortage of sugar in the palace. The taste is light or heavy, whether it is sweet or salty. You can add whatever flavor you want according to your own taste, and we can save a lot of money on the investment!"
Sugar isn't cheap these days.
Hu Yanwei's eyes lit up, and he gave him a thumbs up, "Old Gao, I read you right, as expected of the surname Gao!"
Yuan Gang raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that birds of a feather flock together, no wonder these two are a team.
Shopkeeper Gao chuckled, with a look of congratulations, and then said: "Third young master, recently, many people from rich families have come to ask if we can deliver the goods to your door. The meaning is similar to the way you just said to send to the palace, but not as frequently as the ones in the palace. I hope we can deliver a certain amount to your door every day."
Hu Yanwei hehe said: "Some of my friends also came to me, and they said the same thing. They said that this thing is good for breakfast every morning. Let a certain amount be delivered to their home every day. I am here to tell you about it, and let you arrange it."
Shopkeeper Gao said again: "Third Young Master, I have another idea."
"Say!" Hu Yanwei waved his sleeves, very cheerful, the key point is that he is in a good mood and has made money.
Shopkeeper Gao said: "I observed it. The capital is so big, and our location is so remote. In fact, most people don't want to travel such a long way to buy it because of the trouble! Ours can be shipped in barrels. I suggest setting up locations in each section of the capital. Every day, people send one or two barrels to each point for sale. The capital is so big, so many people, so many restaurants, the amount sold can be imagined."
Hu Yanwei's eyes lit up, and he said with a dreamy face: "If the whole capital can eat our tofu, it won't be a problem to earn 100,000 a year!" Turning his head abruptly, he exclaimed, "It's such a good thing, it's a reasonable and legal business, if you don't make money, you're bastards. Why are you dawdling, hurry up and make arrangements! Do you know how much money you will lose if you delay for a day?"
He himself seemed a little impatient.
Yuan Gang wondered, why do you feel that this person's virtue is a bit like Yuan Fang?
Shopkeeper Gao said: "Third Young Master, our current manpower can barely cope with the situation in front of us. We have to recruit manpower to send it to the palace, not to mention selling it in the capital, which requires more manpower."
"You can recruit people!" Hu Yanwei looked like "do you still need me to teach you?" "We are going to make a lot of money, do you still care about spending these few labors?"
Yuan Gang said: "I will arrange this matter."
As everyone knows, this is exactly the purpose of his selling tofu, and his manpower is expected to arrive one after another. He needs to arrange reasonable identities, arrange them in every corner of the capital in a suitable way, and grasp some signs of disturbance. In short, regardless of whether Master Tao needs it or not, he must make preparations for Master Dao in case he needs it. There is always nothing wrong with having one more preparation.
He still wanted to find a suitable opportunity to propose it, but shopkeeper Gao proposed it before him, which was better for him!
In fact, he didn't expect this tofu to be so popular at first.
Hu Yanwei asked again: "Is the space enough? This place is remote and the price is cheap. If there is not enough space, I will ask the people nearby to move around and buy all the surrounding houses. I can ask someone to advance the capital first, and then pay back when there is money here."
Shopkeeper Gao nodded: "I think it's ok, boss, what do you think?"
Yuan Gang nodded silently. When his people arrived, they also needed a place to stay.
"Okay, leave this matter to me. Tomorrow I will send someone to talk to the people around me. I will try to get all of them within three days. You don't need to worry about it." Hu Yanwei waved his hand and took care of this matter, and asked: "Are there any other difficulties?"
Yuan Gang reminded: "Third young master, not many people grow soybeans these days. If we grow it so big, the soybeans in the capital will definitely not be enough."
Hu Yanwei patted his chest, "I'll take care of this, and I'll send someone to go to other places to contact soybeans later. If it's really not enough, I'll deal with this year first, and next year I'll ask the housekeeper at home to arrange someone to plant soybeans. I don't believe that people can't grow soybeans without paying. This is nothing. Is there any other difficulty? Let's talk about it and deal with it together. I don't have time to run here every day!"
Shopkeeper Gao reminded again: "Third young master, the boss, there is something that has to be guarded against. Our tofu is not expensive, and we can make a lot of money if we measure it. The tofu recipe must be kept secret! Don't be stolen to compete with us for business."
"Dare! Try it if you are not afraid of death!" Huyanwei stared, and said murderously: "My tofu has been sold into the palace. Who doesn't know that this tofu is my family's exclusive business. Which bastard dares to rob my business. If I come out, I will smash the whole family. Is it okay to be a thief and steal things? My Huyan family has always restrained myself, never stretched out my hands, and do some reasonable and legal transactions. Who dares to cut off my money? It was made by my Huyan family, and if I don’t know how to live or die, I dare to come up with a second family to try it. Is my Huyan family’s iron cavalry a vegetarian?"
Yuan Gang glanced at him, a typical playboy, a villain in the capital!
