Wang Jing's doubt is very simple. How can he say that Li Sheng has made no achievements in terms of food?
But then Cui Baihe smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't be anxious. Everything in this world is divided into monarchs and ministers, and food is no exception. It is divided into staple food and non-staple food... On the road to staple food, demon Li Sheng has sorcery and it is difficult for us to compete.
, but... isn’t there a side dish for this?”
…
When Cui Baihe said this, Wang Jing and others showed signs of surprise.
Everyone seemed to be in a state of enlightenment.
Because according to what Cui Baihe said...this direction is no longer a dead end, but on the contrary, there are thousands of ways to live. No - it is a broad road!
And such a prospect is something that no one has ever imagined, absolutely.
After thinking about it like this, everyone became very excited.
There are tens of thousands of roads, but it’s not just beautiful...
"So...this, this..."
The old man Li Tiancheng on the side was so excited that he stuttered a little, "Brother Cui, what's the plan?"
"hehe……"
Cui Baihe stroked his beard and smiled. Although it was a smile, it lasted for at least one Verus charging time to shoot, and then he said, "Let me tell you...the food items are ever-changing, but the ones that are most in demand on the market are Mo
Too much sugar and wine!”
In fact, there is another thing Cui Baihe has not mentioned in his mind, salt.
However, because he was treated badly by the monster Li Sheng when he was doing salt work a few years ago, Cui Baihe stopped the car decisively and did not mention it.
Of course, Wang Jing and others still vaguely and subconsciously thought of the option of salt in their minds uncontrollably...
But that was all in the past, and it couldn’t happen again—it was impossible for everyone to get salt anyway, right? So the spirit quickly became excited, and he said happily, "Sugar and wine...that's right!"
Since ancient times, the most coveted food for human beings has been food with sweetness - without exception, because sweet things mean the easiest energy to absorb and the energy to recover in the shortest time.
In addition, the second thing is fat - modern people of later generations always like to be pretentious and don't like greasy food. This is completely nonsense, because 99% of the world's popular delicacies rely on fat to optimize the taste.
Not to mention oil, to do this business, you have to collect it from various farmers, and this is obviously difficult to do in a factory... Vegetable oil may be possible, but it is probably not as popular as sugar.
Besides sugar, the only thing that can easily dominate the world is fine wine.
Haven't you seen that from many years ago, the heroes of China have spent their whole lives pursuing one big mouthful of meat, and the other is a big bowl of drinking wine. Even the literati and famous scholars in Jiangdong also pursue a sip of famous wine.
These two ideas are undoubtedly very useful.
When he thought of this, Cui Baihe talked about these two directions.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others all showed excited expressions with their eyes shining.
Thinking about it, if we want to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory, how can we achieve this great ambition if we don’t engage in some big business that sweeps the world?
And, with a little sugar and wine, what else in the world can carry such a behemoth plan as Five Surnames and Seven Hopes?
Of course, there are also things like food and weapons, but in this regard...
Sugar and wine are perfect!
Of course, for Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others, if they want to compete with Li Er again, they will have to resort to sugar and wine, but on the other hand, it should be relatively hidden...
If we want to take a long-term view, shouldn't we have to develop quietly? The two fields of sugar and wine are simply perfect for covert development. After all, it is not easy to attract attention, and the profits are extremely high.
This profit was extremely high even before the era of sea trade.
And after doing this calculation, we know that the future is really bright.
This day.
The future is uncertain in the changing situation, and everyone has made plans!
…
In the blink of an eye, January passed by.
This month’s work is done, almost...
That is the time when Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others need to give way to the disciples sitting down and go to the Tianzhu subcontinent to check in. However, it is not yet...
At first, Wang Jing and others agreed that the time would be "two or three months." However, since it has not yet reached three months, the disciples living in Hangzhou have not taken any action, but they are all getting anxious.
Zheng Ling, Lu Wen... and others all felt that a disaster was imminent.
Previously, because Li Er wanted to build the academy, all the disciples saw that the identities of the academy members were gradually becoming worthless, and they immediately started to stir up trouble. However, the result was not very good. In the end, everyone was overturned and was killed.
Li Er was exiled.
Not to mention how painful the experience in the barbaric land of the Zhu subcontinent was.
Later, I was taken back to Hangzhou by my elders, and it felt like I was completely reborn.
As long as I go there five or six times a year, everything will be fine. This sense of leap is completely satisfying.
But then again... After living in Hangzhou for another two months, all the disciples have become afraid of going to sea again. After all... going to sea three or four times a year, how can this be compared to not going to sea at all?
.
But after thinking about it...
Just when "the deadline is approaching", the west side of Hangzhou suddenly became quietly lively.
Zheng Ling, Lu Wen and others were aware of this matter. After all, they had stayed in Goulanquan in Hangzhou for two months and were already well-informed. However, there were many maritime merchants in this place, so the disciples did not pay much attention to it.
But soon everyone understood what was going on, because it was a new job created by Wang Jing and Pei Ji's team, and it was new and good——
In the sea trade business, it is very important whether the ship is blunt or powerful, the storm and weather conditions at sea are very important, and the overseas business environment is very important.
The type of goods is also very important!
It can even be said to be "key", because it is the thing that has the most direct impact on profits.
Among the many categories of goods, first of all, the two precious metals of gold and silver, grain and meat are strictly prohibited from being exported, and weapons are Li Er's private business. For others, it all depends on Li Er's mood to occasionally get reward quotas and earn money.
Previous transaction.
Apart from these, the most popular items of business on the ocean today are silk, cotton, porcelain and other soft items.
And besides these...
Another major category is caramel.
When this thing is transported to the sea, the profit is not as good as silk, cotton, and porcelain at first. After all, those are either because of the ultra-low-cost advantage of the factory or because porcelain is a luxury product. They are all huge profits. In the era of sea trade, the profits are huge.
At the beginning, everything was very popular. But as the waves hit one after another, later people followed, and the profits naturally dropped a lot as the wind rolled in. But at this time...
Some smart merchants thought that apart from the cost of wearing luxuries, wouldn’t they also include food?...
