Chapter 96 Flaxseed Oil
According to the price quoted by Boss Wu, Chu Yunfeng knew that there must be something more expensive than this one, and the quality must be much better than his own.
However, with the synthesis function of the system, choosing this medium-priced rice should be the most appropriate, which will help save costs.
But Chu Yunfeng was still curious about the price of ordinary Wuchang rice.
"Okay, thank you, Boss Wu. By the way, how much does ordinary Wuchang rice cost?" It's always good to know more about it, so as not to be deceived and not be able to eat the real thing after paying for it.
"I'll tell you the math and you'll understand." Boss Wu nodded and said with a smile.
"The variety commonly grown in Wuchang area now is Daohuaxiang No. 2 rice. The lowest purchase price after maturity is 3 yuan per catty, and one catty of rice can only be ground into half a catty of rice.
Therefore, the cost of a pound of ordinary Wuchang rice is only 6 yuan, which does not include rice processing fees, packaging fees, labor costs, transportation fees, etc.
Roughly speaking, do you think rice priced below 9 yuan is still produced by Wuchang?
Therefore, the normal selling price of ordinary Wuchang rice should be more than 9 yuan, but at this price, the merchant's profit is also very thin.
If you want to eat authentic Wuchang rice, you can only buy it if the price is higher than 10 yuan."
Boss Wu’s words revealed the secret to truly choosing Wuchang rice.
"So that's it. I figured it out today. By the way, can you help me get that oil?" Chu Yunfeng saw the rice he was looking forward to and was also looking forward to the cooking oil required by the system.
"Boss Chu, you are really posing a problem for me. You must know that 100% linseed oil is difficult to find. Almost all linseed oil on the market is a blend of linseed oil, and the content is not so high."
Boss Wu said with a grimace.
Boss Wu was quite troubled by the ingredients Chu Yunfeng was looking for. If it weren't for the large volume of his purchases, he would never have accepted such an order.
"Did you find it in the end?" Chu Yunfeng had a certain understanding of Boss Wu's speaking style of first suppressing and then rising, and thought that he must have helped him find it.
Sure enough, Boss Wu gave it up and then said with a smile: "After asking around, I found out that I have a friend who specializes in this export, and it happens to be 100% pure oil. I bought some for you from him.
Come and take a look, this is it, all of them are bottled, one bottle is 500ml.”
Chu Yunfeng took it and found that the bottle was very different from ordinary oil bottles.
First of all, the color of the glass bottle is very dark and the packaging is very tight. At first glance, it looks like something high-end and classy.
He signaled to Boss Wu and wanted to open the bottle of oil and take a look, but when Chu Yunfeng was about to do it, he was stopped by Boss Wu.
"Don't open it yet, wait until you need to use it."
"Why?" Boss Wu's behavior made Chu Yunfeng very strange. He didn't understand what he meant. Shouldn't he check it first?
Seeing Chu Yunfeng's confused look, Boss Wu knew that he had misunderstood, so he took the bottle back and explained to Chu Yunfeng: "Do you know why you chose this dark oil bottle?"
Chu Yunfeng shook his head and said he didn't quite understand.
"Since you choose this oil, you should understand its benefits. The active ingredient a-linolenic acid in it is very sensitive to light and air, and is particularly prone to oxidation.
That’s why we use such packaging, it’s better to open it before use.”
Boss Wu told the reason, it was not that Chu Yunfeng was not allowed to inspect.
Chu Yunfeng nodded and asked, "How much does this bottle cost?"
"A bottle is 300 yuan, of course, it's also a friendly price." The smile on Boss Wu's face was sincere, at least that's how Chu Yunfeng thought he looked.
One bottle is 500ml, which means that the price of one pound is 300 yuan. At this price, you can buy two large barrels of peanut oil in the supermarket.
The price is staggeringly expensive. Chu Yunfeng is now very curious about the pricing of egg fried rice and omelette rice. With so many high-end ingredients, how can the price be so cheap!
"Don't think this price is expensive. You must know that this linseed oil is also in short supply, and many people buy it." Boss Wu gave a "friendly" reminder, and he also got it through his connections.
"Well, I know, I just didn't expect it to be so expensive." It was also the first time for Chu Yunfeng to come into contact with such high-end cooking oil. He had never heard of it when he was growing up. He once thought that peanut oil in supermarkets was the most expensive.
Oh, by the way, there is another kind of olive oil, but it is said that the content is not up to standard. Even scandals broke out in Europe. The olive oil claimed to be 100% content, but the real oil content was only half.
“It’s normal to be expensive. You must know that the linolenic acid in flaxseed oil can convert low-density lipoprotein into high-density lipoprotein, thereby forming bile acid and excreted from the body, which helps to lower blood lipids and reduce fat.
It is said that in the 1990s, the health doctor of the national leader explained the efficacy of flaxseed oil and even conducted a small experiment.
Put different oils in several cups, including canola oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, olive oil and flaxseed oil, and then add lard to them all.
After stirring, let it rest for 10 minutes. Finally, it was found that there were lard residues in all the oils, but only the lard disappeared in the linseed oil.
This fully demonstrates that flaxseed oil has fat-soluble properties, and its other ingredients have the functions of strengthening the brain, protecting eyesight, improving organ inflammation, and promoting cell health.”
Boss Wu talked eloquently and seemed to have a deep understanding of linseed oil.
"You get what you pay for, and it's expensive for what it is." After listening to Boss Wu's words, Chu Yunfeng also benefited a lot and understood that the system was indeed a scam and all the products used were high-end products.
"Boss Chu, welcome, welcome." Boss Wu gave a thumbs up and started joking, which made Chu Yunfeng feel a little embarrassed.
"Stop teasing me, then help me load the rice into the truck and send it over. I'll pay you first."
After Chu Yunfeng paid Boss Wu the money, he took the car back to the store. He vaguely felt that something was waiting for him. Is this intuition accurate?
On the way back to the city, Chu Yunfeng was curious about why the system did not allow him to go to the production areas of rice and linseed oil for "inspection." Is it related to the main ingredients of the dishes? Or was it because of lack of time?
But since I was not allowed to go, there must be a reason, but the top priority now is to go back and see the situation in the store first, there is no time to think about other things.
The closer he got to his store, the more Chu Yunfeng felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
Sure enough, after getting off the bus, Chu Yunfeng walked on Kuixinglou Street. The further he walked, the faster his heart beat. This abnormal phenomenon shocked him.
He was not really going to cause trouble. Chu Yunfeng felt that there were many eyes around him staring at him, but after looking around, he didn't seem to find anything.
