Chapter Snow Salt

Three days later, a very strange phenomenon occurred in the capital. All high, middle and low-end salt in major grain and oil stores were sold out.

When King Jin and Prime Minister Dong heard the news, they already had speculations in their minds.

"It seems that we need to write a letter to the clan leader and cut off the relationship with the Han family as soon as possible."

As Dong Xiang said, he went directly to the study to write a letter and asked his confidants to secretly send it back to Jinzhong.

He did not contact Dong Zixiu, the person in charge of the Dong family in the capital.

There is no way, Dong Zixiu's daughter-in-law is from the Han family. If the news leaks out, the friendly relationship they have just established with Lu Yaoyao may be completely over.

"Someone is going to be in trouble. Keep a close eye on the Han family during this period to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Yan San responded quickly.

"Also, we must investigate the matters concerning the Han family as soon as possible."

The Han family has already begun to target Lu Yaoyao, and Lu Yaoyao's counterattack is also very fierce. Once her salt is put on the market, the impact on the Han family will be huge.

At that time, the Han family will definitely fight back wildly and even kill Lu Yaoyao at all costs.

Therefore, he must protect the Han family while also giving a fatal blow to the Han family.

Three more days passed.

The weather is cold as always, but a new shop suddenly opened next to Baizhen Building.

And he also wrote the notice on white paper.

After reading the notice clearly and seeing the product, everyone was stunned.

Many people tried it with skepticism and were shocked.

"How is it possible to have such pure salt? It is much better than the highest grade green salt."

Although it is a cold winter, Baizhenlou's business is still very good, especially after the last hot pot banquet, Baizhenlou also launched a brand new thing called hotpot.

It immediately attracted many people and everyone who tasted it was impressed.

It's an incredible feeling to have a hot pot meal in the middle of winter.

Therefore, as soon as Xuehuayan came out, it was like a storm, quickly sweeping through the entire capital.

At the beginning of the period, many people came here with the idea of ​​seeing something strange. After all, they had never seen snowflake salt before.

However, after asking about the price, everyone was excited.

In particular, shopkeeper Zhou from Baizhenlou stood up and said that the reason why Baizhenlou's dishes are so delicious is because of the salt used.

The signboard of Baizhenlou is very loud, and their food is definitely one of the best in the capital.

The effect of this advertisement is really not very good.

The most important thing is that the price of such high-quality snowflake salt is only half the price of special green salt.

The table salt in Dongzhou is divided into grades, the lowest one is only 300 taels per catty, and the green salt is also graded, the minimum price is 600 taels. The best ones cost two taels, and the special grade costs a terrifying ten taels.

It's a pound of silver, and it's still priceless.

But now, snowflake salt is also divided into three grades, the lowest grade is 300 liters, the quality can instantly beat the special grade green salt, the superior grade is one tael, and the special grade is 5 taels.

Of course, the price of three hundred coins is still very high for some civilians, but for those from well-off families, it is nothing.

Moreover, this snowflake salt is not like the previous table salt, which is sold at least one pound.

In her shop, you can sell as much as you want, even if you only need one tael of snowflake salt.

In this way, more people will have purchasing power.

This is to completely seize the Han family salt market, and she is confident that people who have tried snow salt will not get used to it if they switch to other salts in the future.

The thing is good, that’s how confident you are.

No, it didn't take even half an hour, but five hundred kilograms of salt was sold in the shop.

Among them, two hundred kilograms of special snowflake salt were sold, one hundred kilograms of high-grade snowflake salt, and two hundred kilograms of low-grade snowflake salt.

And there was a huge line of people queuing outside the store.

The leader of the Han family, who was not aware of the snowflake salt at this time, was in a very beautiful mood as he poured himself a small drink.

He has been in a good mood these past few days. He has cut off the Lu family's business, and now all the shops are closed. In addition, the Han family salt in the capital has been selling so well that it is out of stock.

Two days ago, he sent someone back with a letter, asking his family to immediately escort a large amount of salt to Beijing for replenishment.

We don’t even consider that it’s a snowy day. There are many places along the way that are difficult to travel due to the heavy snow, so transportation costs will increase.

From his point of view, no matter how high the shipping cost is, he can still make a lot of money. At worst, he can only raise the price when the goods arrive.

However, his beautiful mood will soon end.

"Something is wrong with the patriarch."

Hearing his servant's words, Patriarch Han's face darkened and he put down the wine glass heavily.

"Can the bastard talk?"

"No, no, something big happened to the clan leader."

As soon as the servant quickly told the story about the snowflake salt, Patriarch Han stood up in shock. He knocked over the wine glass on the table because of his too big movement, and his clothes were soaked with wine without even realizing it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Besides we have official salt in Dongzhou, what kind of salt is there?"

"It's true. Patriarch, you'd better go and see for yourself. Now the word has spread throughout the capital that the snowflake salt is of good quality and low price. There are still many people lining up outside the shop waiting to buy it."

When Patriarch Han heard this, his heart sank. Although he couldn't believe it, he also knew that his servants had no guts to deceive him.

Immediately let your servants lead the way.

At this time, in the private room on the top floor of Baizhen Building, Lu Yaoyao, Su and Zhao were all there.

"Yaoyao, aren't you going to suffer a big loss by selling it like this?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the crowd of guests below, and there was no joy on her face. Instead, she felt deep pain in her flesh.

There was no way, the price of the salt they bought was the price of Han family salt. After Lu Yaoyao purified it, the price was cut in half, and they lost more than half of their money.

No matter how many people buy it, they won't be happy.

"Auntie, you have to take a long-term view. If you want to quickly seize the market, early investment is inevitable."

"The princess is right. If the price is set high as soon as it comes up, it will never be able to attract so many people."

Mrs. Su was different from Mrs. Zhao. She was smiling all over her face.

Looking at the excitement below, she knew that this time it was done.

Although you will lose a lot of money this time, if you seize the market, you will make it all back in the future, or even more.

"That being said, with so many people, how much money will we lose?"

Ms. Zhao has always been a housewife and doesn't know much about business matters.

She came here only because Su is a woman. It would not be very convenient for Lu Kang or Lu Xiu to come over.

"The loss won't be much, we will only sell one thousand catties today."

"It will be said later that the refining is not easy to stop for a period of time to allow the snowflake salt to ferment properly."

She knew that the Han clan leader asked the Han family's caravan to bring salt to the capital to replenish it.

She also had her own plan for showing off the snowflake salt today. She lost a little this time, but soon the Han family would lose a lot.
