As expected, people from every region and profession have different consumption habits. When Ma Hanshan put lipstick on Sister Hu Ren, he took out another lip balm and applied it on his dry lips.
, the enthusiasm of several northern and northwest men who came with Yelu Tie was aroused, and they actually liked this lip balm made by local methods very much.
In fact, the way local people in the north protect their skin in winter is to apply some kind of animal oil ointment to the exposed skin, but the smell is too strong, so it is uncomfortable to apply it on the lips. This lip balm not only
It has a light fragrance and is very refreshing. Compared with those sticky and smelly animal oils, it is much better.
Of course, this thing cannot be used instead of animal ointment to apply to other places. Unlike ointment, this thing has anti-cold effect. Moreover, this thing must not be cheap. Who would be a loser who would use this thing to smear their face and hands.
Ma Hanshan signed a horse sales contract with Yelu Tie's trading company, signed a brine stone purchase contract and a glass ordering contract with Yelu Tie's trading company on behalf of Wagangzhai, and signed an agency contract for perfume and lipstick.
The reason why Ma Hanshan signed the horse purchase contract in his own name was because he did not want to cause any trouble to Wagang Village.
What makes Yelutie unhappy is that perfume and lipstick are currently only in small batch trial production. He can take away not much, only a few hundred bottles of perfume and a few hundred lipsticks.
In fact, Ma Hanshan had no choice. In summer and autumn, he had no time to steam flower essence. He only made a few experiments to steam a little flower essence and then made hundreds of bottles of perfume. As for lipstick, there is not much beeswax available now.
, he was reluctant to use it up at once, and he was not keen on producing useless items such as perfumes and lipsticks. Before he could find other substitutes for wax, he "sparedly used" wax.
However, Mahanshan is already looking for ways to remove the impurities and odor of insect wax and butter wax. If the impurities of insect wax and the odor of butter wax are removed, then this so-called lipstick can be mass-produced, and the price is
It will be greatly reduced. Most women in this world can use lipstick, and there is no need to use troublesome and toxic so-called lip paper.
Ma Hanshan doesn't really care about these "by-products" and only thinks of solutions when he has time. What he cares about is things that can improve life or health.
For example, his other new product: chicken essence.
Haha, that's right, it's chicken essence. Of course, although the chicken essence made by him is not as strong as the chicken essence in his previous life, his chicken essence is absolutely 100% green food and does not contain any chemical raw materials.
The main ingredient is really chicken, unlike those chemical chicken essences in Ma Hanshan's previous life, which didn't even have a single chicken feather.
The reason why Ma Hanshan made chicken essence was because he was forced to do it.
Why? Because there were too many distiller's grains, and the chicken raising expert hired by Chen Zhongliang was very good at raising chickens. With a little guidance from Ma Hanshan, the guy started with two hundred chickens, and it has grown to thousands of chickens in more than half a year.
Live chickens are different from other things. In terms of transportation in this world, the places where live chickens are sold are only within a radius of dozens of miles, and the consumption capacity of these places is too limited.
No one really believes that there are ordinary people in this world who are tired of eating chicken, but it is true. People in Wagonzhai are tired of eating chicken. Recently, eating chicken every day, even for several days in a row, is not a problem, but eating it continuously
After a month, who can’t get tired of it?
Kill the chickens to make cured chickens, air-dry chickens... No matter how you do it, you can do it this way in winter, but what about spring and summer? Moreover, there will be more next year...
What Ma Hanshan finally thought of was to add salt and other seasonings to boil the chicken into a paste, then dry it and grind it into powder to make real chicken powder.
Perfume and lipstick are both things that Ma Hanshan regards as "by-products", so he just makes them casually. But chicken essence is different. He regards this thing as something that promotes the chicken farming industry, wine residue, chicken raising, chicken essence, and the catering industry.
This is an industrial chain. Therefore, he spent a lot of time "developing" this amazing condiment.
Although he was really poor at chemistry in his previous life and could not remember much about chemistry in his mind, making "chicken essence" did not trouble him. At the very least, he didn't make much mistakes in the way he made the main ingredients.
.If the main ingredients are not enough, they also need to be antiseptic, antibacterial, etc. Fortunately, he comes from a medical family, so he actually remembers a few natural preservatives, such as allicin, clove oil, tea polyphenols, etc.
Steamers and alcohol can really be regarded as a major breakthrough in the chemical industry. For example, spice extract extracted with alcohol has a strong inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria. Spice extract can be used together with wine as a preservative. Mahanshan
I think this is so easy to use, it can be antibacterial and antiseptic as well as seasoning.
As a result, "chicken powder" made with pure local methods and pure natural green materials was born.
The reason why Mahanshan is not called chicken powder but chicken powder is because most of it is really chicken powder, salt and dried bean paste.
However, when he introduced it to Shen Wuwan, the chicken noodles turned into umami noodles.
Therefore, there was nothing Ma Hanshan could do to introduce this umami powder to Shen Wuwan, because it took a lot of time to receive Yelu Tie and his party. In order to appease Shen Wuwan, who was about to become angry, he had to do a "trick" for him.
The so-called magic trick is to turn a bowl of boiled water into a fragrant and delicious soup.
"You...what kind of trick are you doing? This water...how did the water turn into soup?" Shen Wuwan exclaimed after taking a sip of the "soup" he conjured.
"Does this soup taste good?" Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Okay, it tastes good, it's really fresh." Shen Wuwan nodded vigorously and said.
"Fresh, fresh is good. Did you know that I can also make the dishes extra fresh?" Ma Hanshan said seductively, "I didn't eat just now. Come on, I'll have a couple of drinks with you."
"You can skip it if you drink two cups. Please tell me what's going on." Shen Wuwan said and picked up the soup made with "umami powder".
"How about I not only tell you what's going on, but also hand over this thing to you for underwriting?" Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "But you have to go have a drink with me."
When the two of them arrived at the small canteen, the food and wine had already been placed. When Shen Hua saw them coming, she quickly poured wine for them.
Shen Wuwan glanced at the food and wine on the table, and he noticed something strange. There were eight plates on the table, but there were only four dishes. There were actually two plates of each dish. What does this mean? Sharing? No need.
How about this.
In fact, most occasions in this world share food, but in this small canteen in Mahanshan, people share food. He likes the atmosphere of eating and drinking together around the same table.
"It's weird? It's not weird at all. The dishes are made by the same person. The difference is that one dish has the things I did the magic trick on, while the other dish doesn't. Try it first to see if there's any difference." Ma Hanshan held up his chopsticks.
It was stuffed into Shen Wuwan's hands.
Shen Wuwan didn't say anything. He picked up a piece of cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his eyes turned into bull's eyes.
ah!
Is this... is this cabbage? Why is it so fresh? Why does it seem like... it smells like chicken... it tastes like chicken?
Real chicken noodles can’t be fooled, they really taste like chicken.
Can the chicken taste be omitted? A spoonful of umami powder might be half a chicken.
"You use chicken soup for cooking? What you gave me just now is also chicken soup? Haha, it must be, no wonder it has a strong chicken flavor." Shen Wuwan said with a laugh.
"Your nose and tongue are both bad. This is cooked with the latest seasoning umami powder developed by our Wagang Village." Of course, Ma Hanshan refused to admit it. He pointed to another plate of cabbage and said, "Eat one."
Shen Wuwan still ate with a piece of cabbage. Well, it was the same as usual, tasteless.
Ma Hanshan took out a small bottle, poured some wine powder on the cabbage, and then said: "Mix it and try it."
Shen Wuwan still shook a few times, then tried one, and his eyes widened again.
"This... this doesn't taste like chicken, but it's still very fresh... By the way, this has a bit... a bit of fishy smell..." Shen Wuwan thought for a moment and said.
"Haha, this is your hallucination. In fact, they are all the same. However, I can tell you that this umami powder really contains fish MSG, chicken MSG, pig MSG, beef MSG and some vegetable extracts. , and honey, you didn't taste it?" Ma Hanshan really admired Shen Wuwan's taste buds. He tried it with nearly a hundred people, and no one ever said it tasted like chicken or fish.
The reason why there is a fishy taste is because this mahanshan has added scallops, and the weight is not much. I didn't expect that this product can actually taste it. It's really amazing.
"Tell me, what's the price of this thing?" Shen Wuwan is completely different from Yelu Tie. He specializes in the market. He can tell what can make money and what can't, just by seeing it.
"Eat first, why are you in a hurry? As I said, just like Zuixianjiu, the Lin'an area will be underwritten for you." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"No, I want nationwide underwriting, otherwise you can never expect me to pay you in advance." Shen Wuwan smiled evilly and said, "Don't think I don't know, you will definitely have no money during the New Year."
Day, who leaked the secret? Don't let me catch you.
Shen Wuwan saw through it, and Ma Hanshan was very angry.
In fact, no one leaked the secret, because only Ma Hanshan and Qin Nanyue knew that there was no money in the village.
Shen Wuwan knew that he knew how to count. He could calculate Ma Hanshan's approximate income and expenses. Now his expenses are much larger than his income. How could Ma Hanshan have money on his hands? Plus the production reduction in the past few days. When he was notified of the price increase, he understood that this guy wanted to make money again.
"No, no one in Jiankang Prefecture will give it." Ma Hanshan thought for a moment and said, "Do you really want to underwrite it nationwide? Then you have to give me five hundred thousand taels first to celebrate the New Year."
"I want to buy shares, how much does a 20% share cost?" Rich people speak differently, and people with a market perspective speak differently. Shen Wuwan actually asked for shares.
"Do you really want shares? Have you thought about how to operate this thing? Let me tell you, the quantity of this thing will not be very large. If you imagine selling it like wine, it will not be realistic in two years." You can't raise so many chickens. Even if there are so many chickens, they can't produce much by using local production methods. Therefore, Ma Hanshan believes that it is not realistic to fully sell this umami powder.
"Ah? Then why are you doing this? There is no goods, even the gold price is not much." Shen Wuwan was very frustrated.
"Stupid, if you don't measure it now, it doesn't mean you won't measure it in the future. If you don't measure it now, you can find another way to make money. Don't you think it would be more profitable to open a hotel than to just sell this delicious powder?" Ma Hanshan said with a sly smile.
