Chapter 26 The Fortune Plan (1)
Farewell to the big-eyed bull, drove the ox cart away from the mule and horse market. Although Chen Wanrong was not able to buy a horse today, he was still very happy. After this, Chen Wanrong had a better understanding of horses. Stories like Qianjin Horses that had long been heard proved true, and horses like Lu were also true.
Chen Wanrong had long heard of these things, but they were incomparable to the feeling of witnessing them personally. This was a very deep impression. A good horse like blue and white was abandoned just because of a spot. It would be a pity. If Niu Dayan hadn't been reluctant to let go, he would have made a soul under the knife and slaughtered him.
What made Chen Wanrong most happy was that he actually had a glimpse of the legendary horse racing technique. Horses were an extremely important means of transportation in ancient times, national strategic resources, and modern technology sealed ancient tools such as horses into history. It is rare. It is difficult to get a glimpse of the overall picture of horse racing technique, at least it did not know the performance of cars.
After being excited for a while, Chen Wanrong began to think about the next step. Now he has dozens of coins of money, not much, and it is enough to use it as a starting capital. He has to plan his future development well. In the past few days, he has made a lot of money by making hot alkali, tanning agents, and soaps. This is a good example that these things have great prospects in the Tang Dynasty, and living a good life is not a dream.
There is only one thing that should be chosen, and focus on this. The most suitable soap for these three things is soap.
The future of stearic acid is also good, but it is difficult to popularize it. There are two reasons. One is that the soda ash in the Tang Dynasty was a natural salt lake product and was extremely limited. If you want to produce stearic acid in large quantities, you will be limited by raw materials. Without electricity in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to produce stearic acid by electrolyzing salt water like the modern chlor-alkali industry. Whether enough stearic acid can be produced is a problem.
Another and most important reason is that huokane is a very good raw material. With huokane, you can make more chemical products yourself. Now with a net worth of over 60 yuan, it is better than not being able to afford to eat at the beginning. There is no need to sell huokane, a precious raw material, and leave it for yourself to use.
As for tanning agents, they must have a good sales outlet, and Chen Wanrong has no doubt about this. However, the first thing is that the market has not been opened, and to open this market, it requires a lot of investment. At least a large part of the money he has to spend, which is a considerable burden for Chen Wanrong, who lacks financial resources.
Furthermore, compared to soap, tanning agents are too cheap. Not to mention that the delivery of tanning agents is a big trouble. Even if Chen Wanrong has brought ten customers, transportation alone will be enough for him to have a headache.
The soap has greater benefits, is more popular, and is not much investment. If you make a whole of 100 kilograms of lard, the worst is that it can be sold for more than 100 or 200 jin. The soap is small in size, easy to carry and high in price. If it is done, you can take it to Ning County and Chang'an for sale. It is very convenient. It is not like giving tanning agent to Li Qingquan, and you have to complete a car.
The idea was certain. Chen Wanrong had a new plan, which was to make a batch of soap first, go to Ningxian and sell it for sale in Chang'an. Although Luojiadian is prosperous, it is a small countryside place after all, so how can it be compared with Ningxian, let alone Chang'an? If you don't go to Ningxian and Chang'an, you will be too blind. You have received so many years of modern education.
First, I went to buy some clothes for Chen Laoshi and his wife, and then went to the vegetable market to buy lard. When I got home, I was busy with my arms. There was a "Xiao Clothing House" in front of me, and Chen Wanrong drove over with a ox cart.
When he arrived at the shop, Chen Wanrong drove the ox cart to the alley next to him and tied it into the cloth shop. As soon as he entered the cloth shop, Chen Wanrong's eyes lit up. Although the cloth shop was not big, it was filled with all kinds of clothes. Many people were in and out, and many people were carefully selecting and choosing their favorite clothes.
After a brief look at Chen Wanrong, he attracted the dazzling array of clothes in the shop, including clothes, robes, jackets, half arms, trousers, silk, shoes, robes, skirts, and half sleeves. There are all kinds of patterns and bright colors, which is not inferior to the garment shops in modern society. A feeling of familiarity hits my heart, as if I was shopping in a department store in modern society.
A young man in his twenties came up with a professional smile on his face and said politely: "May I ask, this guest, are you going to buy clothes?"
"Yes!" Chen Wanrong answered politely.
The young man spoke very skillfully, saying, "If the guest allows me, I will show you a few new colors." The new colors he mentioned are equivalent to new modern styles.
Chen Wanrong wore linen clothes when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. He had never worn other clothes, and he didn't know what the clothes of the Tang Dynasty were. He didn't know how to choose them. He said happily: "Then I'll have a hard time."
"Call you please be polite." The young man turned sideways and asked, "Call, please come here."
Chen Wanrong followed him forward a few steps, and the young man picked up a light yellow robe: "Call, do you think this one is suitable?"
The clothes worn by men in the Tang Dynasty were two types of robes and robes, winter robes and summer robes, all with round necks and longer than knees. It is still February, and the weather is still relatively cold, so young people recommend robes to Chen Wanrong instead of shirts.
Chen Wanrong looked at it and found that the robe was made of cotton, which was much more refined than the one on her body. There were many patterns on the robe, with varied patterns, no less than six or seven kinds, bright and vivid, and lifelike. She loved it from the bottom of her heart and said, "It's not bad."
The young man picked up half of his arm and promoted it: "Celebrity, this half arm is suitable for this robe. The guest appearance is so handsome and handsome, if the shoulders are slightly wider and higher, they will be even more majestic."
People who are engaged in sales can say good things when they open their mouths. Chen Wanrong thought that his appearance is not bad or good, and he can't be related to his mightyness no matter what. He can really say it.
While turning his mind, he looked at half of his arm. The Tang Dynasty's half arm is similar to a modern vest, but there are two more sleeves, the sleeve length is between sleeves and sleeveless, which is similar to a short-sleeved shirt. Generally, the collar is opened to the right.
The Tang Dynasty had a clothing order, which clearly stipulated the clothes of all levels. From the emperor to the common people, their clothes had standards and could not be exceeded, otherwise they would be punished. The main regulations were in color, and there were no regulations on the material.
Wearing half an arm on the underwear and under the outerwear is equivalent to the effect of shoulder pads, widening the shoulders and making the man look more majestic. Chen Wanrong, a poor family, has this kind of concern. It would be nice to wear rags and wear warm clothes. Is it because Chen Wanrong saw half an arm for the first time, attracted by his novel style and said, "Okay, I want it."
The young people were happy when the sales were successful, and the smile on their faces became more friendly. They gave Chen Wanrong a suggestion and said, "If the guest officials like it, they can try it inside."
This is the meaning of fitting. Chen Wanrong had no reason to disagree and said, "Okay." The young man led Chen Wanrong to the inside. There was a room inside, which surrounded the green linen linen, forming small pieces after small pieces.
Chen Wanrong was just not sure, so a girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a three-point appearance. She lifted the linen and crawled out, held a red skirt in her hand, and said, "I want this one." Her throat was too thick, and it was a little shocking.
The purpose of using linen to make fittings is to try on the fittings, which is much simpler than the fitting room in modern society. Chen Wanrong lifted up the linen and crawled in, put down the linen and took off his coat, put half of his arm on, and then put on his robe after he was tidying up.
The robe was quite fit. Chen Wanrong picked up the bronze mirror hanging on the linen and looked at it. He saw a handsome and confident man in the bronze mirror. He couldn't help but tsk a few times. "People want clothes, Buddha wants golden bodies." This is right. He suddenly became much more handsome when he put on this clothes.
Look at the shoulders, with the function of half an arm, with wide shoulders and wide arms, they really have a bit of heroic spirit. The function of half an arm is really magical. The role of young people is majestic. Chen Wanrong wanted to praise Chen Zairong as appropriate, but he didn't expect that he was also heroic, so he couldn't help but stand up straight, raise his head, and be full of energy.
Taking off his robe and putting on the linen clothes, Chen Wanrong came out and said, "I want this one." Then he gave Chen Laoshi and his wife, Chen Zairong chose some clothes, made a big bag, and then got out of the cloth shop.
Chen Wanrong planned to do a big deal, so he went directly to the vegetable market and bought all the lard in the vegetable market. Luojiadian is a small place with not much inventory. Chen Wanrong bought all the lard in the entire vegetable market and only had more than 100 pounds, less than 200 pounds.
After a little calculation, based on the current production capacity, it will take one or two days to make lard about 200 kilograms, and it will not be too late to buy it after it is finished. After leaving the vegetable market, I will buy some raw materials such as lime, soda ash, salt, rosin, and a linen. After a full truck, I drove the car home.
