Rough processing technology such as petroleum distillation and refining can be transferred free of charge. As for other finishing technologies, Wan Lei will not disclose them to the public for the time being. Of course, it is useless to disclose them. Even if they have seen the process flow, they cannot understand the principle.
There is no way to imitate it.
Take the technology of refining tiger balm as an example. The core technology is sulfuric acid manufacturing, because not only the residual oil must be pre-treated with sulfuric acid, but also the white clay must be treated with a specific concentration of dilute sulfuric acid to increase its activity. If Wan Lei does not explain it in detail,
Even if outsiders are watching, they don’t know that there are so many ways inside.
Due to the limited technological level, tiger balm cannot be truly colorless and odorless. It has a light yellow color and a faint smell of mineral oil, but the smell of kerosene is not allowed. After all, it is used as a raw material for cosmetics, so it must be natural.
It is higher, so it often requires two or three refining processes. The yield is low and the price is naturally higher.
After four days of hard work, the wall of the refinery outside the station has been built. Zhao Hongru, who is eager to make a fortune, immediately installed the equipment and pumped oil for refining while filling the factory with bricks and tiles. With the joint efforts of him and his nephews, Nissan
There are thousands of kilos of kerosene and nearly tons of residual oil. Due to backward equipment and lack of raw material manpower, Wan Lei simply cannot process so much by himself, and most of it can only be temporarily stored.
In order to speed up the progress of refining tiger balm from residual oil, Wan Lei went to Peking with Zhao Xueer and Song Jinming early that morning. While taking the products for sale, they also purchased some necessary raw materials and equipment, such as sulfur, what to drink in bottles.
Yes, because they planned to purchase a lot of items, they went there in a carriage.
Originally, Wan Lei didn't want to take the Song family boy with him, but this guy was like a follower. He would follow Wan Lei wherever he went, almost never leaving. Since this guy is a Jinyiwei, and I heard that his brother inherited the Jinyiwei Qianhu, Wan Lei
Lei didn't dare to offend him anymore, so he had no choice but to let it go.
It has been sunny for a few days after the snow, and the snow on the ground has long since melted. However, the whistling north wind is still blowing. It is a gray, dry and cold day. If I hadn't applied facial cream early, my face would have been chapped.
Wan Lei galloped all the way, and the carriage entered Beiping City early and headed straight for Siyiyuan.
I haven't seen you for a few days, and Siyiyuan has become a different place. Although it is still early in the morning and not the peak of passenger flow, the fragrant breeze still attracts many customers, who come to drink flower wine and drink wine, but I come here to eat alone.
For morning tea, there is always a constant flow of customers. Compared with other shops, Siyiyuan's business is obviously much better.
"Master Wan, you are finally here. Our landlady is waiting for you." The gatekeeper Gui Gong saw Wan Lei and greeted him with a smile as soon as he saw him.
"In business, trust is important. I will come on time when I say you will come." Wan Lei jumped out of the carriage, picked up a wooden box and walked inside. Zhao Xueer and Song Jinming immediately chased after him. Not only did Mr. Turtle not stop him, but he also
He led the way and shouted into the courtyard: "Madam, Master Wan is here."
"Quickly, take us to the private room." The madam was drinking wine with a regular customer. She looked up and saw Wan Lei, as if she were seeing her biological father. She was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by a client on the way.
He asked: "Give me a private room immediately, and let the best girl like you come and stay with me?"
The visitor was a man in his thirties, with a mustache and a flat nose, an arrogant face, and two strong men behind him. The madam had a lot of friends, so she recognized who this person was at a glance, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out he is
Mr. Li, you are a rare visitor. You are here to see my Wei'er. You go to the private room first and wait, and I will make arrangements for you right away."
"What are you waiting for? Bring us here right away, or I will burn your chicken coop with you."
"Oh, Mr. Li, please don't be angry. Aren't you going to make arrangements?" The madam smiled and trotted upstairs.
Seeing that the landlady couldn't get away for the time being, Mr. Gui was very sensible and took the initiative to take Wan Lei and his party to an unoccupied room, served them refreshments and asked them to wait for a while. Wan Lei and Song Jinming didn't care.
, sipping tea as if nothing had happened, Zhao Xueer sat facing the wall, frowning Lao Gao.
Although this is not Zhao Xueer's first time visiting a brothel, there were no customers in the shop the last time she came, so the scene was not as ugly as it is now. When she looked up, she could see the clients groping the prostitutes who were accompanying them, and the lewd words were even louder.
She kept hearing this. She was even more unhappy when she thought about having to come to such an obscene place frequently to deliver goods and collect bills.
"Brother Wan, let's not come to this kind of place to trade in the future. Make an appointment outside and let them pick up the goods." In order to avoid going in and out of such obscene places, Zhao Xueer suggested.
"You are the sales assistant. You will be responsible for the future sales. You have the final say." Wan Lei didn't want to go to the brothel every three days. Although he had seen big scenes and was determined, he was still young and energetic.
The little Leizi below is very energetic. If he sees this kind of scene too many times, he might accidentally misfire.
Although it has been several months since he came to Ming Dynasty, Wan Lei has always been single. To say that he is not in love with spring is an understatement. However, when it comes to women, he has a mysophobia and would rather make his own preparations than use second-hand goods.
, so he is not too fond of prostitutes. In addition, condoms have not been invented in the Ming Dynasty, so he does not want to make a mistake that will lead to a lifelong hatred.
Originally, Wan Lei had long planned to marry a young girl as his wife after making oil profits, and then take in a few concubines to live a romantic life. Unexpectedly, the remaining thieves refused to make it easy for him.
Now he couldn't protect himself, and he didn't want to marry a wife who would become a burden, so the plan to marry a wife and take concubines was naturally shelved indefinitely.
After several cups of tea, the madam finally trotted over. As soon as he saw Wan Lei, his round face was full of smiles and said: "Oh, Brother Wan, you are here, I can't wait any longer.
"
"Are you done with the cream?" Wan Lei asked knowingly. Last time he sold three kilograms of goods, which seemed like a lot. However, there are women in their twenties in Siyi Courtyard. With so many women using them early in the morning and late at night, a few more kilograms would not be enough.
.
"It's all used up, it was all used up yesterday, especially the one called An, which was used up in one day. My daughters are all vying to use it. Today, even the Gui and other things are gone. My daughters are very unhappy.
The guests also have many complaints, so don't say anything. Brother, please give me some emergency help." The madam said urgently.
"That one is called Anxiang Aoxue. It's a high-end product. It's much more expensive than Osmanthus Shili. Do you really want it?" The market is booming, so Wan Lei will naturally take the opportunity to raise the price.
"If you want it, no matter how expensive it is, just ask the price." The madam said without hesitation.
"One tael of silver and two taels of goods, no bargaining." It is 50% more expensive than Osmanthus Shili. Wan Lei thinks this price is fair. After all, the two creams have the same process, but the spices added are different. In general,
, the production cost of Anxiang Aoxue is not much different from that of Osmanthus Shili.
"Okay, little brother, how much did you bring here? It will cost me all my life." The madam was also very generous, but judging from the prosperity of Siyiyuan, she really made a lot of profits. Spending a few coins can coax "daughters"
"Be happy and keep the business prosperous. She won't lose money on this kind of business."
"This time I brought fifteen kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus ten miles and four kilograms of dark-scented Aoxue. If you want it, it's seventy taels of silver." Wan Lei opened the wooden box and took out two large jars. The madam just opened it and smelled it.
After hearing about it, he saw that the goods were genuine and he didn't bother to weigh them, so he immediately asked Mr. Turtle to get the silver.
Wan Lei can earn seventy or eighty taels of silver in five days. As a small boss, Wan Lei still feels a small sense of accomplishment. You know, silver is hard currency, and a concubine only costs seventy or eighty taels of silver. With this kind of earning
With the speed of money, it would not be a problem to have ten or eight concubines a year.
With the money in hand, Wan Lei was about to say goodbye and leave, but the madam tried her best to sell his "daughter" to him, as if he wanted to earn back the money he had just spent.
Wan Lei was naturally unmoved. As soon as he stood up and stepped out of the private room, he saw a turtle rushing in.
"Auntie, big, big, something bad is going to happen. Wei'er, something happened over there at Wei'er."
"What's all the fuss about?" The old madam rolled her eyes at Mr. Turtle, who came at an untimely time, and asked angrily.
"Then, that Mr. Li, Mr. Li, wants to use force on Wei'er. Wei'er, Wei'er will not obey until death. There's a quarrel between the two sides. Hurry, go and have a look." I don't know whether he was scared or ran away.
It was urgent, Mr. Turtle still stammered.
"What?!" The madam was now anxious. She was about to run to the private room upstairs to take a look when she saw a disheveled daughter running out of the room, crying as she ran, followed by a naked girl.
The man with the breasts kept chasing after her, shouting: "Little ****, you are lucky that I like you. If you push me further, I will ask someone to take your turn."
"Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll jump down." The woman was forced to the corridor. Seeing that there was no way to go, she climbed onto the railing and tried to jump downstairs.
"You're just a little bitch, why are you pretending to be a fierce woman? If you dare, just jump. If you jump, you won't die, and I will kill you." The bare-chested man took another two steps closer. The woman saw that something was not good, and she couldn't help it.
He kept waving the fruit knife in his hand and nervously confronted the bare-chested man.
It was about to kill someone. All the clients saw it, but they were horrified by the power of the bare-chested man. No one dared to step forward to stop the fight. The madam was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she hurriedly ran forward to persuade: "
Mr. Li, my Wei'er has a strong temper and has agreed that she will only do her art and not her body. You, please don't force her anymore."
"When I finish playing with her and don't give her money, it won't be considered a sale. Hahaha..." The bare-chested man laughed wildly, pushed the madam away, and continued to press against the woman step by step. Just under his pair of
Just when the devil's claws were about to reach out to the woman, he heard a "chi" sound, and a copper coin was nailed to his palm as if it had eyes.
"Ah..." the bare-chested man covered his hands and cried out in pain. The two bastards who were guarding him jumped down from the building without waiting for the master's order, and stared at Zhao Xue'er angrily...
