Suddenly seeing green in the cold winter, the villagers gathered together. They talked about how much money they had. The villagers asked them to take the account of Zhang Village.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I'm here. I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you." Li Yi just finished instructing Song De when Li Chengqi ran over.
"Quick, carry the things down." Li Chengqi stood beside Li Yi.
He brought two big carriages with him, which were also covered with tarps.
"Brother, are these vegetables? Don't lift them, they'll be too cold to stay. "Li Yi thought his brother was bringing vegetables from Liu Li Village's greenhouse, so he quickly persuaded him.
"They're not vegetables. You have vegetables in Zhuangzi, so I'll give you some." Li Chengqi said.
When the things on the carriages were carried down, a gust of wind blew. Li Yi smelled the smell of the sea. Well, it was a fishy smell.
"Oysters with shells. Brother Yi, didn't you say they were delicious? Oysters are not worth much, but the shipping cost is high." Li Chengqi said.
"Brother, how much did you buy?" Li Yi smacked his lips. He wanted to eat grilled oysters.
This weather was suitable for transporting large quantities of seafood. As long as the ships were loaded quickly, they would enter a cold place and freeze before they broke down.
Li Chengqi opened his palm, revealing his five fingers. Then, he withdrew three fingers.
Li Yi asked, "Twenty thousand catties?"
"Two ships, two big ships for transporting grain. There are too many of these things at the seaside. My subordinates told me that the fishermen were very happy."
Li Chengqi shook his palm and said the number.
Li Yi looked at him, he looked carefully, he looked hard, he wanted to see how he was able to mobilize two large ships to transport the oysters.
Chang 'an's canals and canals were all flat boats. The big ships could carry more than five thousand catties of grain, and each catty was 120 catties.
In other words, there were 1.2 million catties of oysters with shells. Where did they come from? How many people did they use?
The "Tang Hui Yao" recorded how many things a big ship could carry, and it was still a flat boat for transporting grain.
In the first month of the tenth year of Zhen Guan, the ships in Shanzhou caught fire. 215 ships were burned. One million catties of rice were damaged. 600 people on the ships were killed.
A normal and not overloaded ship, five thousand shi. Other than that, there were even bigger ones.
Ships were calculated according to their weight, not their volume. The draft had nothing to do with the volume of the cargo.
How many shelled oysters could be weighed in one catty? It depends on the size.
There was no way to calculate this. Li Yi could weigh eight small oysters per catty and four big ones.
There were also smaller ones and bigger ones. Of course, the smaller ones didn't have any meat, they were all shells.
Now, there were even more weights.
"One million and two hundred thousand catties? How long will that take?" Li Yi was surprised by the number.
"Brother Yi, how many people are there in Chang 'an? Do you know how many catties a person can eat? "Li Chengqi asked with a smile.
Li Yi shook his head. He didn't know. It was easy to find a permanent resident. He just had to flip through the household register and it was written there.
Floating population, as well as unregistered residents hired by the big families, how would they know?
This time, Li Chengqi said with an 'I know better than you' look, "Brother Yi also said that our purpose of buying things from the seaside is to let the people by the seaside have a better life.
If I buy too little, how can it become popular in Chang 'an? If the price is slightly lower, more people will eat it.
When other businessmen see the high demand, they will be tempted to buy in large quantities.
The people by the seaside are always causing trouble because they can't live anymore. "
Now, when he talked about economic matters, he seemed to be quite good.
Li Yi gave a fist salute, "Big Brother, you didn't forget your original intention."
"That's right. That's why I sent them to Brother Yi. Brother Yi, you can cook them for me. We can make a lot of money later." Li Chengqi said another original intention.
"Wash the shells first." Li Yi also wanted to eat. Dry and shelled oysters were obviously different.
Li Yi called out. The farmers ran over and unloaded the sacks of oysters. They put them on a flatbed cart and pushed them into the house to be washed.
There was warm water in the house. They wouldn't wash with cold water outside.
Li Yi taught them how to pry open the first few oysters with a knife. Someone next to him lit the charcoal fire.
Li Yi began to mix the juice and mince the garlic.
"You don't need to pound the garlic. The juice will come out when you pound it. You have to cut it into small pieces. Then, you add ginger juice and oil.
But you can't use soy sauce. It can't be sold at a high price. Just put some salt in the ginger juice and pour it over when roasting. Add the garlic too. "
Li Yi said as he worked.
Then, he added, "If you think the taste is not strong enough, you can eat it yourself. Don't you remember that the oysters are cooked in summer? You can add a little oyster sauce. Don't sell it unless you sell it at a high price. For example, in Earthly Paradise."
Li Chengqi stood aside and waited. He was ready to eat and taste what it tasted like.
When the first oyster was cooked, Li Yi first moved to the side to dry it. A group of people came to Zhang Village, led by Village Chief Zhang Xiao.
"Village Chief Zhang, you came at the right time. Let's eat roasted oysters." Li Yi greeted him warmly.
Zhang Xiao went forward to take a look. Then, he said to Li Yi, "Li Dongzhu, the village has discussed it. You can distribute the money earned from the greenhouse vegetables."
"Uh!" Li Yi looked at Zhang Xiao in confusion. "Why do you want me to distribute the money?"
"It's too much. It's much more than the toads sold in summer. Although it hasn't been sold yet, we know that the vegetables in those greenhouses can be sold for more money than we can earn in our lifetime."
Zhang Xiao turned around and pointed at Zhang Village.
Li Yi cooperated with Zhang Village to rent land. He hired the villagers to take care of it and gave them 10% of the profit.
At first, the villagers said they didn't want it. Li Yi forced them to give it to him. Now, the villagers were afraid.
Those tender cucumbers looked like strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Li Yi looked at the villagers who followed him and said to Zhang Xiao, "Village Chief Zhang, don't you have the money left after the toads are sold? Put it together."
"No." Zhang Xiao shook his head and waved his hand. "I don't dare. I don't have so much money. I don't know what to do with it."
"Yes, Dongzhu, don't make things difficult for the village chief. He has been worried sick these days." The villager said.
"Too much?" Li Yi muttered.
"Too much, too much. It's scary. Li Dongzhu will take care of the accounts for you." Zhang Xiao heard and asked again.
"Aren't you afraid that I will embezzle?" Li Yi didn't think it was difficult to take care of the accounts. He didn't have anyone to supervise him.
"Do you think Dongzhu will be interested in our money? Even if Dongzhu has the flowers, we are willing to take it. "The villager said again.
The others echoed and insisted that Li Yi be responsible for the 10% of the money for the vegetables.
Li Chengqi looked and listened. He persuaded, "Brother Yi, since the people in Zhang Village trust you, why don't you take care of it?
Every few days, you can explain the accounts to the villagers. Village Chief Zhang can also learn. When he learns well, you can transfer the money to him. "
"Yes, yes, yes, I will learn." Zhang Xiao said.
"In that case, I will take care of it. Next year, I will build a two-story house for all of you. The house will be designed according to the current courtyard. Come, have some oysters. "
Li Yi decided and asked everyone to taste the oysters.
Each of them took an oyster that was not hot. They held it with their hands and put it into their mouths with their chopsticks. The oysters were mixed with ginger juice and minced garlic.
Li Chengqi ate and smacked his lips, "It has a special taste. It is different from the dry ones. Brother Yi, how much do you think is suitable for a catty? "
"A catty?" Li Yi repeated, "Big Brother, are you going to sell it to other people? And then let other people sell it? "
"One million and two hundred thousand catties. I can't sell it myself." Li Chengqi emphasized the weight.
"Even so, you can't sell it by catty. Divide it into big, small, medium, and small. Pick out the biggest one and it will be the special grade. Compare all the costs and increase the price by three, four, or five times. The small ones will increase the price by a little while the big ones will increase the price by a lot. "
Li Yi gave a wholesale price.
