Chapter 47 The little devil comes to the door

Zhu Changluo finally suggested: "You can build this furnace higher. In this case, the furnace temperature will be higher. Then the glass will be fired faster."

Glass is also a new thing and a secret weapon level.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo also did a very good job in protecting the glass formula. Although he did not rely on imprisoning glass workers to protect the huge profits brought by glass like Europeans, there are still necessary management measures. Otherwise, this glass

The recipe will soon be betrayed.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo made a three-year agreement with the glass workers here. Within three years, they and their families were not allowed to leave Xishan Palace!

As for why it is three years, it is because Zhu Changluo also feels that if it takes too long, how will he be different from the European capitalists who imprisoned glass workers for hundreds of years? He does not make glass just to plunder wealth, he has more

How can a great dream be hindered by the petty profit of glass?

Of course, in order to protect the glass formula from being leaked within three years, necessary coercive measures are still indispensable. For example, Wei Zhongxian is responsible for keeping an eye on the glass factory and all the glass workers. And Wei Zhongxian is a natural expert in this convenience. Professional matters are handed over

Only by giving it to professionals can the greatest effect be achieved.

After Zhu Changluo came back from the glass factory, he was extremely satisfied. Now that he has a glass bottle, are he still worried that he won't be able to sell the soda?

So, Zhu Changluo began to purchase all the materials for making baking soda. In fact, there were not many materials that needed to be purchased, because almost all of them were available in the palace. The palace had its own vinegar-making workshop and a limestone mine.

, the only thing missing is trona, so people have to go out and purchase this.

Of course, in order to maintain this secret formula for a long enough time, Zhu Changluo also took corresponding measures.

First of all, the manpower that goes out to purchase alkali must not only purchase alkali, but also have them purchase some insignificant things. Only in this way can they not be recorded and inferred by those who are interested.

The second is the division of labor in the manufacturing process.

People who use limestone and vinegar to make carbon dioxide will arrange a special place, and they can only come into contact with this link. Moreover, they are completely isolated from the people who specialize in sodium chloride solution. They don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other.

of a place.

There are also people who use alkaline water and carbon dioxide to make baking soda, and they are also sealed separately.

There are also people who use baking soda to make sparkling water, which is also sealed separately.

Therefore, in all aspects of manufacturing, Zhu Changluo has isolated the exchange of information to the greatest extent, which also allows the baking soda production method to be fully protected, and the final production of the soda to be fully confidential.

Only in this way can you keep this secret recipe in your hands to the maximum extent and use it to obtain the greatest benefits!

After completing the above division of labor, it was time for Zhu Changluo to come up with a catchy name for the soda he was about to produce.

When it came to naming, Zhu Changluo's little mind struggled for a long time. He kept thinking, "Should it be called Coca-Cola? Or should it be called Pepsi-Cola?"

Then Zhu Changluo couldn't help but think, "Would it be an infringement if I call him by two names?"

But then I thought again that this is the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it is the 16th century! I am afraid of chicken feathers!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo no longer hesitated and immediately made a decision. The name of this soda was: Fat House, oh no, Fairy Happy Water!

According to Zhu Changluo’s idea, one sip of this fairy happy water will make you feel better than the gods! Of course, it’s best if it’s iced!

It's a pity that the season has passed and the weather has turned cold now. But that doesn't matter!

Although the taste of the current Fairy Happy Water is relatively monotonous, with only sweet and sour flavors, such sparkling drinks will still be an unstoppable temptation for countless people, whether now or in the future! Therefore, Zhu Changluo simply does not

Worried about the sales of Fairy Happy Water.

On the third day after completing the division of labor in all aspects of manufacturing, Zhu Changluo finally got the bottled fairy happy water, but the lid was corked.

There is no other way. After all, there is no plastic or rubber now, so we can only use cork lids. But the fatal disadvantage of cork lids is that they may not be airtight enough.

So Zhu Changluo initially set the shelf life of his Fairy Happy Water, which was one month. The reason why he set such a short time was because Zhu Changluo was worried that the carbon dioxide in the bottle would evaporate after one month.

Zhu Changluo only made a thousand bottles of the first batch as a test product, and then asked Wang An to find a shop in the most prosperous Dongsi Archway in Beijing, and hired an honest shopkeeper and a few waiters.

I put up a sign saying "Xishan Trading Company" and started business.

When the shop first opened, people were coming and going in Dongsi Archway, and there were many people watching the excitement, but not many came in to inquire. After all, people in this era are still very conservative, especially when they see the dazzling array of glazed products.

Although I was curious, I didn't dare to ask the price because we all know that the price of products that can be packaged in glass is generally not cheap.

Until it was about to close in the evening, a boy wearing a blue short robe came into the store.

After the boy entered the store, his attitude could be described as arrogant. As soon as he saw him, he shouted in a loud voice: "Where is the person?"

Liu Quan, the shopkeeper, rushed over and said with a smile: "What are your orders, distinguished guest?"

The boy looked at Liu Quan sideways with his nostrils turned upward, and said: "I am the disciple of Mr. Niu of Dongsi Archway. Have you done business with Mr. Niu when you open a shop here? Have you made filial piety and offerings?"

When Liu Quan heard that he was a naughty boy, Liu Quan put away the smile on his face. Liu Quan took a step back and put two steps away from this naughty boy. Liu Quan is also a professional manager who has experienced big storms.

Although this was his first time as the head shopkeeper of Sipailou, he had seen many such rogues in Xishan.

If it had been left in the past, Liu Quan might have spent money to eliminate the disaster and put a smile on his face. But now, Liu Quan will not be like this. Liu Quan knows that behind him is Xishan Imperial Manor. In other words, he now also

He is half an imperial merchant. Since he is already an imperial merchant, why should he be afraid of some rogues coming to his door?

Liu Quan said: "Master Niu? I haven't heard of it."

When the boy heard Liu Quan's attitude, he lost his temper immediately. The boy started to smash things in the shop. Liu Quan saw this and grabbed the boy's arm, causing him great pain.

He screamed, "Let me go quickly, or I will immediately report to Master Niu and seal your shop!"

When Liu Quan heard that the naughty boy was still yelling like this, Liu Quan couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand. The pain caused the naughty boy to burst into tears.

"Master, I was wrong. Please spare me."

The boy's face changed very quickly, he was afraid that Liu Quan would really break his arm.

When Liu Quan heard the boy begging for mercy, he pushed the boy out of the door and said, "Get out of here!"

The boy who had regained his freedom turned around and scolded Liu Quan: "Grandson, wait! I'm going to find Mr. Niu now!"

Liu Quan didn't expect that this scoundrel would be such a rogue, so when he let him go, he refused to let him go.
