Chapter 366: The rise of Qi's Trading Company

"Dad, don't you just want to make braised pork?"

It is said that there is a whole row of large brick houses, but in fact there are several meters between each one, and they are all independent rooms.

The houses range from big to small. The smallest one seems to be about two hundred square meters. There are ten rooms in total, and only one of them has three rooms connected together.

With this model and so many houses, it looks like it’s more than just braised pork.

Sure enough, Qi Kang'an hugged Qi Bao'er and walked back and said, "Have you forgotten that your grandma left more than just a braised pork recipe? We didn't have a backer before. Although we are not afraid of trouble, if we really invite someone,

It’s also troublesome.”

Even if his daughter is very capable, there are hundreds of people in the whole village. It cannot be because of Lao Qi's family that they are a drag on them, let alone because they are a drag on his daughter.

So even if Qi Bao'er was made the county head, even if Qi Bao'er seemed to be cared about by the emperor, neither Old Man Qi nor Qi Kang'an were prepared to make a big deal out of it.

They just kept a low profile with nothing in hand, as long as the whole family was safe and their daughter grew up well.

Both father and son have thought about it, but they are really unwilling to do so. When their granddaughter/daughter gets older and their family is more confident, they can come up with the recipe to complete the work.

It was the cooperation with Mr. Wu that made both father and son dare to become ambitious at this time.

Men, who doesn’t want to have a career?

If you don’t have anything at home, you will die and you won’t be able to get up. But there are things at home that can bring shame to future generations, but you can’t do anything about it. Who wouldn’t be aggrieved by this?

However, both father and son did not make a decision at once, and the whole family was ruined. They did not trust Mr. Wu that much either.

"Your father is going to build a braised pork shop and a soy sauce shop first. Both of these are used in restaurants and inns. Mr. Wu also said that if our family makes soy sauce, he will sell it."

Mr. Wu has eaten braised pork. He is a businessman and he will know whether he can make money once he tastes it.

But for soy sauce, the Qi family can't produce it in kind, and Qi Kang'an can't prove it with the formula. In addition, there is only one soy sauce business in Qilin country so far. Mr. Wu still has no idea whether the Qi family can make soy sauce.

Doubtful.

The natural soy sauce business was not negotiated.

However, since Mr. Wu said "guaranteed sale", it is obvious that he still holds out hope that the Qi family can make soy sauce.

In any business, once the word "exclusive" is mentioned, money will flow, especially things related to three meals a day.

As a businessman, Mr. Wu has long been jealous of the soy sauce business.

Whether the Qi family has a recipe for making soy sauce or whether it can be made has nothing to do with Mr. Wu. He only cares about how the business will be done if it is really made.

Qi Kang'an doesn't know about this, and won't think about it deeply for the time being.

They just opened a soy sauce shop. Now Yong'an City is also short of grain, and soybeans are also a hot-selling commodity. They really can't make large quantities, so naturally they don't have to worry about selling. Whether the business with Mr. Wu can succeed is not a big problem.

"Dad, have you harvested the soybeans yet?"

This reserve must not be less, don't make soy sauce and end up running out of soybeans.

"I've asked your uncle and the others to collect it. It's not easy to buy in the city, but there are still some in the surrounding villages. The warehouse hasn't been built yet, so the collected soybeans must be put in the house first."

Old man Qi and Qi Kangan are both people who do what they say.

The backyard of the house [Sanjin] was originally a large open space, which was planned to be reclaimed after the house was built to grow vegetables, flowers, fruits, etc. It all depends on the family's pleasure.

But no matter what you plant, there must be a place to put it, so there is a row of large warehouses in the backyard, and there is even a row of cellars dug underground opposite the warehouses.

It's just that there was nothing to put in the warehouse, so even when they moved, they didn't tidy up the backyard. After all, the whole family was busy at that time. Even if they hired a few people temporarily, for such a big house, they still only tidied up the front yard.

The guys in the middle courtyard were very tired and didn't have enough time.

After deciding to open a workshop, Qi Kang'an rushed into the backyard with his family members and cleared out several warehouses in two days.

One of the warehouses is now filled with soybeans.

First, Qi Bao'er had just come back, and second, the soybeans were transported through the backyard door, so she didn't know.

"There are also things for storing soy sauce. There is a porcelain kiln in Xiaohe Village next door to us. Dad has made an agreement with that kiln. Once our workshop starts, the pots and bottles for the meat and soy sauce will be burned immediately."

"Pretending to be meat?"

"It was requested by Mr. Wu. He wants bacon that can last for a long time. He wants to send it to the Zhenbei Army. Your second aunt can do it."

Li Qin originally didn't know how to do it, but she was very good at cooking. Mr. Wu told her how to cook it at that time. After he told Li Qin last night, Li Qin immediately promised that there should be no problem.

With the experience of praying for Bao'er on the road, she can basically succeed if she just squeaks, so Li Qin is very confident in this aspect of herself.

"Master Wu said that the meat eaten by the Zhenbei Army and the military pay given by the court were all given directly in money, and they had to figure out their own way of eating the meat.

The place where the Zhenbei Army was stationed was relatively deserted. Even if there was money, there was no way to buy meat. Not to mention meat, food was also in short supply, so the Wu family had to go around by themselves.

But the meat was collected from all over the country and sent to the north, but it wasn't far away, and then the Wu family prepared bacon themselves that could last for a long time."

Speaking of this, Qi Kang'an felt quite uncomfortable and felt sorry for the soldiers guarding the border.

"In the past, the Wu family made bacon themselves, but for some reason this matter was reported to the emperor. Dad couldn't understand why. It is said that the Wu family made bacon for the sake of the soldiers.

Mr. Wu said that just in case, the Wu family can no longer make bacon, so they wanted to ask us to do it, but they didn’t pay anything and only bought it from us."

This is equivalent to giving the Qi family a bacon recipe for free, but Qi Kang'an is not happy at all.

Qi Bao'er sensed that her father was a little depressed, pinched his ear and whispered: "Dad, because it involves military pay, no matter how well the Wu family does their accounts, it can't change the fact that the Wu family themselves are using military pay.

If the Wu family just bought meat with military pay, then smoked it for free and sent it to the military camp, that's okay. This was just a simple purchase, and it would gain a good reputation if people knew about it in the future.

But the question is, as a businessman, Wu Dagong would do something so disadvantageous?

How is it possible?

You don’t make any money, but you don’t allow yourself to lose either. This is already the limit.

Well, if no one cares about this matter, then it's okay. Mr. Wu can't really be greedy for his father's military salary. At most, the cost of making bacon will be deducted from the military salary.

The cost of labor and incense.

But General Zhenbei is not a virtual general, he is a real general with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. How many people are staring at him.

Not to mention that the DPRK and China have designated political enemies.

Not to mention some people who simply don't like him and want to punish them.

If this matter were to be exposed, it would be difficult to explain clearly. One bad move might shake the morale of the Zhenbei Army.

The general's own son stole their military pay, what do the soldiers below think?"

Rumors are such a thing, no matter how hard you eat, it will be rumored that you drank your own grandfather's blood.
