Chapter 53 Selling Oil Leather
At this time, the handsome and elegant Mr. Han was frying the dough with his slender fingers.
The oily skin is delicate, smooth, and tough, with a strong meaty aroma and a slight bean aroma. This oily skin actually gives people a meaty taste. Mrs. Lin is indeed a wonderful person.
After putting down the chopsticks, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the dried tofu skin in the basket.
"How long can this oily skin be stored?"
"The Lin family said that if it is properly stored, it will not go bad for a year."
"Oh, a year?"
If it can last for a year, this product can be sold all over the country.
“How do I save it?”
"Tie the bag tightly and store it in a cool place."
So casual?
"only……"
Uncle Han looked at Shopkeeper Xu.
The shopkeeper bowed his head and said, "Lin Dashan said that he will not sell his house this time, but only provide goods."
"Heh...he's quite clever."
"How is he going to sell it?"
"40 cents a pound. He said one pound can be used to cook fifty or sixty dishes."
"That's 40 cents a plate, much more expensive than meat."
"That's what the master said."
"Tell him that it's 25 wen per pound and we can supply the Han family for a long time." Don't think he didn't figure it out. This thing is made of soybeans and it's 40 wen. How dare Lin Dashan say that! !
Talking about the crystal sashimi that cost one tael of silver and one pound, Han Yushan felt a lump in his stomach.
Behead him, the master is so cruel!
"Yes."
"25 cents is not enough, Shopkeeper Xu, this price is too low! I can't do it!"
Good fellow, cut it in half. At this moment, he really didn't think his daughter's asking price was too high. This Mr. Han was not an easy person to deal with.
"I'm so sorry, Brother Lin, this is what the master meant, you see..."
"32 cents!"
Lin Xiaomi spoke.
"No, it's too expensive, niece. No matter how delicious this is, it's just a vegetarian dish. How much is a pound of meat? Uncle Xu will give you an extra cent. No more is allowed."
Lin Xiaomi raised her eyebrows. Shopkeeper Xu could add more money. It seemed that the Han family had said hello when they came back. Judging from Shopkeeper Xu's expression, there was still room for improvement.
Finally, we negotiated for 28 coins and signed the contract. The Han family tentatively requested 2000 kilograms of goods per day.
The profit per catty is 18 wen, which means 36 taels of silver a day, and even a few more taels of silver can be earned in reality.
"Dad, you should be scared. If Grandpa finds out, will he ask Uncle Two and Uncle Three to come as well?"
Lin Dashan:......
"Just keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."
"Do you think you can keep it a secret?"
This father is so naive. Can the fact that two families bought mules to build houses be kept secret?
"Let's keep it a secret for now." Boss Lin sighed.
"Dad, if you want?"
"No, didn't our family agree that we can't bring anyone from the old house? They can't protect the recipe."
If possible, he didn't want to eat alone. But he didn't trust the old house, his stepmother, and his two younger sisters-in-law. Especially the third sister's family, the fastest one was not good enough. The second sister's family also took care of her mother's family.
"Oh!" It's not easy for Dad.
"There is a job that my second uncle can do."
"What?"
"Harvesting beans. We definitely don't have enough soybeans. In the city, soybeans are sold at two cents per pound, so we also give them two cents. The recycling price is generally one and a half cents. If you go farther, you can get one cent. We need more than a thousand pounds of soybeans a day. If we calculate it at half a cent per pound, 1500 pounds will make 700 cents, which is not much worse than making tofu skin."
"I'll go back and ask them if they'll do it."
"Let me be clear in advance, we don't want the bad beans." This probably won't happen to my second uncle, but it's hard to say about my third uncle.
"That is required."
After returning to the village, Lin Dashan arranged for people to cut bamboo to make drying racks, and asked Lao Lu, the driver, to go to the city to order a few stone mills.
Wang asked people to start grinding soybeans, and she and Guan began to teach the servants how to make oil skin. Guan selected 15 women who were hardworking, honest and capable.
Bean curd skin is really simple to make, and since they are all used to doing housework, the women watched for a while and were eager to try it.
So, Guan was left to watch over the situation while Wang retired after accomplishing his mission.
