Li Weidong couldn't care less about picking his nephew's fault, and asked hurriedly: "Can you make money? How much money can you make?"

Ding Zhiyuan knew that if he didn't give Li Weidong a reassurance, given this guy's temper, he would definitely spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, so he began to settle his accounts.

"A bottle of soda now sells for 15 cents on the market. That's the retail price. We're not greedy. The wholesale price from the factory is 8 cents.

I found a partner in town yesterday. He has a filling machine that can fill nearly 30,000 bottles of soda a day.

How much do you think this is?"

Li Weidong counted on his fingers for a long time, and finally gave up helplessly and asked: "Just tell me!"

Although Ding Zhiyuan had heard about Li Weidong's lack of knowledge and skills for a long time, it was only today that he realized that there was no minimum limit for Li Weidong's arithmetic level.

I have to replace it with my own son. I must...

Bah, bah, bah, no matter how stupid my son is, he cannot be this stupid. Besides, my son has inherited the excellent genes of his parents, so he is very smart!

"2,400 yuan is just a day's income. Even if we can't produce 30,000 bottles a day, we still have the production capacity of 2,000 yuan."

Li Weidong was stunned, grunted, and swallowed hard: "Then how much can we earn? How much can I share?"

This guy really knows how to climb up the pole. I didn’t even agree to take you to play, but you took the initiative to stick to it. You don’t know what being reserved is at all!

According to Ding Zhiyuan's estimate last night, a bottle of soda requires 2-2.5 grams of jujube powder, 10-15 grams of white sugar, 0.3-0.4 grams of citric acid, and saccharin and flavor can be ignored.

The purchase price of each catty of fresh wild jujubes is less than 20 cents. One pound of fresh wild jujubes can produce almost half a pound of dried wild jujubes. 5 pounds of dried wild jujubes can be processed into 1 pound of wild jujube powder after being pitted.

In other words, if the processing fee is not included, a pound of jujube powder only costs 2 yuan.

So the cost of jujube powder required for a bottle of soda is 8 cents to 1 cent. Even if the processing fee is added, it will only cost one or two cents.

White sugar costs 78 cents per pound, and the cost of white sugar in a bottle of soda is 1.4 cents to 2.1 cents.

The total cost of the two main ingredients is at most three cents and three cents.

Coupled with labor and electricity costs, the cost of a bottle of soda can be controlled to less than four cents.

Even if the ex-factory price of a bottle of soda is 8 cents, the gross profit margin is doubled. Thirty thousand bottles a day is a gross profit of 1,200 yuan, which is great!

Ding Zhiyuan felt that one should not be too greedy, so he provided Liao Fugui with wild jujube juice and only took half of the gross profit.

Alas, my biggest advantage is that I am too soft-hearted. I have to change it in the future!

Ding Zhiyuan chuckled twice: "It depends on your performance. If you perform well and work hard, I will give you more. Otherwise, you can just stay in the cool place!"

Li Weidong hurriedly patted his chest and said: "I will definitely listen to your orders. If you ask me to go east, I won't go west. If you ask me to chase the dogs, I won't chase the chickens.

Grand nephew, no, Ding Zhiyuan, no, Zhiyuan, brother, I call you brother, you are my biological brother!"

"Who are you calling brother?" Li Chunmei heard Li Weidong calling brother all the way away, and was wondering, is there a guest at home?

"No, I didn't call anyone brother. Sister, you must have heard the problem. It's nothing!" Li Weidong hurriedly denied it.

No matter how messed up he is, he is still a shameless person. It is embarrassing enough to call his nephew brother, but he can tolerate it for a small amount of money, but he must not be known by others.

Li Chunmei, a biological sister, is even worse. If Li Chunmei knew that he had messed up his seniority, she could beat him to death with the sole of her shoe.

Although Ding Zhiyuan really wanted to watch a one-sided beating scene, he didn't want the Li Chunmei siblings to stage an ethical tragedy, so he lied to his uncle: "Mom, we are talking about our third uncle."

"Your third uncle?" Li Chunmei put down the hoe and asked doubtfully: "What happened to your third uncle? I met him when I came back just now."

Li Weidong knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. He quickly changed the topic and said aggrievedly: "Sister, my nephew bullied me again. He told me to get out and beat me. Sister, you don't care about him!"

Li Chunmei, like Ding Zhiyuan, did not give him a good look: "You deserve it! The uncle is not as good as the uncle. The boss is too young to do serious things. He only sneaks around all day long. I'll beat you lightly!"

"Sister, don't look at your brother and me now. Just wait and see. Sooner or later, your brother will make a lot of money, and then I will let you be popular and drink spicy food!" Li Weidong was not annoyed at all, but said with a playful smile.

Li Chunmei was funny and angry: "Okay, okay, sister, I'm waiting for you to make a lot of money and respect me! Get out of the way and stay out of the way!"

Li Weidong: "……."

He is ruthless and looks exactly like your son. He is really not part of the same family.

Zunzui, it’s better to be the eldest brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, why did you just leave like this!

After you left, no one will love me anymore!

Li Chunmei washed her face and went to the kitchen to make lunch. However, when she saw Ding Zhiyuan and Li Weidong working inside, she stood at the door and did not go in.

At this time, all the jujube powder has been dissolved, and Ding Zhiyuan first filtered it through a coarse sieve of flour.

The ordinary household flour sifter is generally between 40-60 mesh, which can filter out the larger peel and mixed fruit core residues in jujube powder.

Then pass it through a 100-mesh sieve again, and more than half of the residue is reduced.

Finally, pass it through a 240-mesh sieve again, and the obtained jujube juice is clear and transparent, with almost no impurities.

The sieve is relatively small and can only filter a little bit, and the water temperature is still very high. Ding Zhiyuan was burned to the point of grinning from time to time.

Li Chunmei felt so distressed that she rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen, saying in a disgusting tone: "Go away, go away, let's watch you do some work, I'm in a hurry!"

Ding Zhiyuan and Li Weidong are both the same type of people. They will never sit down if they can lie down. They will never stand if they can sit. People who don't even bother to help when the oil bottle is poured.

The reason why you are working so hard today is because of the small money?

As soon as they heard that Li Chunmei had come to take over, the brothers, oh no, the nephews and uncles almost stopped what they were doing at the same time, waiting to eat the ready-made food.

However, filtering requires two people to work together. Ding Zhiyuan feels that he is a natural leader, and there is no way for a leader to work while his employees are watching.

"Why are you standing there waiting for something to eat!" Ding Zhiyuan glared at Li Weidong, "If you don't have any eyesight, my mother will love you for nothing!"

Li Weidong almost lost his breath. If he couldn't beat him, he would have punched him in the face several times to relieve the hatred in his heart!

In the past, when Ding Mingxin made medicinal materials at home, it was Li Chunmei who helped him.

When Ding Mingxin grinds the medicine, she uses a sieve to filter it, so she not only sifts it quickly, but also hardly spills it, and she won't be burned by the hot water like Ding Zhiyuan who was clumsy.

After quickly filtering a plastic bucket, Li Chunmei stood up and stretched her waist. Then she remembered and asked: "What are you two doing?"

Li Weidong immediately said to Li Chunmei as if to show his merit: "Sister, we are making soda!"

Li Chunmei said in surprise: "Creating Qi water? You can also make Qi water?"

"I don't know how, but my eldest nephew is worthy of being a college student!" Li Weidong knew what the eldest sister liked to hear, so he picked up nice things to say.

Li Chunmei burst into laughter: "It's hot, so it's good to get some soda."

"Sister, we make sodas not for ourselves, but for sale! I'm telling you, sis..." Li Weidong said, with that tone, that demeanor, that posture, those who didn't know thought he was...

Where is the mastermind?

Li Chunmei knows Li Weidong's virtues. One of the ten most reliable sentences is Amitabha. When listening to him, listen dialectically.

However, she finally understood that her son was not doing any experiments. He clearly wanted to make money to help reduce the burden on his family.

Seeing Ding Zhiyuan shirtless and sweating profusely, Li Chunmei felt warm and sore in her heart. She quickly lowered her head and blinked hard.

He has really grown up, becoming more and more like his father and a man.

The sun had already passed overhead, and it wasn’t until Ding Zhimei came back from school for lunch that Li Chunmei remembered that the meal hadn’t been cooked yet.

The kitchen was currently occupied, so of course there was no way to cook, so Li Chunmei sent Ding Zhimei to her parents' house for dinner.

Finally, I filtered all the jujube juice, and finally got three large plastic buckets full of filtrate, which weighed almost a hundred kilograms.

Ding Zhiyuan dipped his finger into some jujube juice filtrate and tasted it. Well, it was good. It tasted quite good, but he didn't know how it would taste after blending.

Li Weidong also tasted some, and frowned because of the sourness: "Can I drink this?"

"What's the hurry!" Ding Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at him, "Here, help me."

The two of them worked together to hang a plastic bucket filled with filtrate with a rope and lower it into the well to cool down. The remaining two buckets were reserved in case the test failed and there were not enough.

At this time, Ding Zhiyuan had already calculated the ratio of ingredients, and then began to prepare the original soda solution.

This time I didn’t boil the water again, I just pumped a bucket of well water. It was just a test anyway, so it didn’t require much attention.

Add white sugar to the well water and stir until the sugar no longer dissolves to obtain a saturated solution of white sugar.

Divide the saturated solution of white sugar into 6 equal parts and put them into a clean basin, and set aside the rest.

Ding Zhiyuan added different proportions of citric acid, essence, and saccharin to each portion of saturated sugar water according to the calculated ratio data, stirred evenly and let it sit.

By this time, the jujube juice in the well had cooled down, and Li Weidong lifted the bucket up alone.

Ding Zhiyuan took out two stacks of large porcelain bowls from the kitchen and placed them in the yard, a total of twenty-four, with Arabic numerals on them to distinguish them.

The nephews and uncles each have their own division of labor. Ding Zhiyuan is responsible for reporting and recording. Li Weidong uses a medical syringe to inject the jujube juice extract and ingredient mixture into the bowl based on the numbers reported by Ding Zhiyuan.

Li Chunmei found an empty soda bottle with a capacity of 250 ml, washed it and drained it.

Ding Zhiyuan added a certain amount of baking soda according to the citric acid content in each bowl, and stirred evenly to allow the baking soda and citric acid to fully neutralize and produce carbon dioxide.

Finally, pour the raw jujube juice containing carbon dioxide into the empty soda bottle, and then add water to the neck of the bottle, approximately 250 ml.
