In fact, Gao Lishi didn't like this thing very much. He was so old, and he had no desire to conquer. He just felt curious. In addition, the food that the emperor gave him had always been depressed. He also knew that his body was incomplete, which made the other party unhappy, but he had no choice. Who asked him to be a eunuch? But if Ang Lee's high-tech gadgets were real, then wouldn't he be able to make up for his regret about food? Even if it was just a few gentle touches, it could make the other party happy.
In addition, Gao Lishi also understood very well that this kind of dead instrument was just a tool. It couldn't make a woman pregnant, so it was fine even if the eunuch and the palace maid had it. Any normal man would not be jealous of the instrument. He even felt that these instruments could relieve his pressure and make it easier for him to deal with his woman.
For a man who had three wives and four concubines, he wouldn't allow other men to touch the woman he didn't use. In this way, it was a good means to let the instrument satisfy his idle woman. This had nothing to do with the dignity of a man. No one would care about this unless it was a man with extreme inferiority, who would care about the instrument.
With the support of Gao Lishi, Yu Chaoen no longer had to worry about the future, let alone worry about funds. Although most of the profits would be distributed to others in the future, the market for this instrument was there. As long as he could get 10% of the profit, it was very great.
Moreover, the money was clean. It had nothing to do with receiving gifts and corruption. Even if the emperor found that he was rich in the future, he wouldn't check his family property. With money, Yu Chaoen might be able to go to the brothel to have fun.
Although with the instrument, the eunuch still wouldn't have physical pleasure, but looking at the beautiful woman under him who was conquered by him, the pleasure in his heart wouldn't be less. This was also a very cool feeling. Moreover, if ordinary people went to the brothel, there was a chance of contracting venereal disease. Eunuchs used silicone, so they would never get diseases. It was easy to play, and there was no pressure at all.
When he thought of his future happiness, Yu Chaoen smiled as he walked. He didn't look like he had just been demoted at all. He was simply flushed with success!
Since everything was ready, including the financial backing and technology, Yu Chaoen would choose a location near Beijing. Production required a factory. Without a certain amount of space, it would be impossible. In the future, the demand for this kind of product would be very high. The factory had to be bigger to meet the most basic needs.
Of course, Yu Chaoen couldn't predict it at all. He only had a general idea and didn't know how much manpower and land each step would require. Only Ang Lee knew this, so before choosing a location, he had to ask Ang Lee about the approximate size of the site. Only then could he start choosing a location.
"The Bureau of Fish Supervision is really fast! In less than a day's work, he had already roped in so many supporters. Even Gao Weng had joined. Hahaha! This was a good thing! A great thing! As for the size of the factory, I have to think about it. Wait a minute! "
As Ang Lee spoke, he picked up a pen and paper and began to draw carefully. He drew the required workshops one by one and marked the land area of each workshop. He even reserved a lot of empty warehouses. After all, these were only the necessary workshops. When production really started, the workshops would be insufficient. With extra warehouses, the shortage of space could be made up at any time. The yard also had to be big enough, so that it could be expanded in the future.
In short, what Ang Lee drew was the smallest space of the factory. If it was convenient to expand production in the future, the bigger the factory, the better.
"Five hundred mu! We need at least five hundred mu of land. One thousand mu would be better. Now that every inch of land in Chang 'an is expensive, we can choose a place farther away. The land will be much cheaper. Anyway, the road is easy to travel now. It doesn't matter if it's farther away. "
Ang Lee gave a suggestion.
Yu Chaoen naturally agreed. He nodded and went to the relevant institutions in the capital to inquire about the price of land according to the minimum area requested by Ang Lee. With the connections he had accumulated in the past few years, it was extremely easy to get this done.
At this moment, Ang Lee also began to study the technology of silica gel. The core technology of the invention of this kind of appliance was the technology of silica gel. The quality of the silica gel directly determined whether this kind of appliance could be passed off as genuine. As for other aspects of technology, compared with this technology, they were relatively secondary.
At Ang Lee's request, the silica gel laboratory was ready immediately. All kinds of instruments such as beakers, alcohol lamps, and so on were ready. As long as there were enough resources, Ang Lee could quickly develop the material. After that, the industrial design could be carried out. Finally, after the construction of the workshop was completed, the product could begin to be produced.
Ang Lee's ability was not to be mentioned in detail. In just a few days, he developed the first batch of silica gel. Looking at the soft silica gel material in his hand, Ang Lee was in a good mood.
This was solid silica gel. Needless to say, its performance and smoothness were very comfortable. Moreover, at least by changing the conditions slightly, the hardness and toughness of this material would change a lot. Thus, various silica gel products with different properties could be produced. Many products even required different silica gel products to be compounded. Single hardness and toughness could not meet the requirements.
For example, the surface needed silica gel material as soft and slippery as possible, and the silica gel material filled in the middle needed to be slightly harder and tougher. Otherwise, it would be soft and completely unusable. Soft and hard compounding was the way to go. It could even be made with three layers of compounding. This way, the effect would be better.
Of course, the higher the number of composite layers, the higher the requirements for technology and workload, and the higher the cost. As for adding a hard battery to the center, the cost would be even higher. In the later stages of production, different products could be manufactured according to the needs of the market.
The silica gel material was quickly developed, which made Ang Lee very excited. Yu Chaoen was also very excited. He even held the soft silica gel material in his hand and pinched it to feel the magic of this material.
"The production in the laboratory is too small. It needs to be industrialized. This will take some time. In addition, it also takes time to manufacture unique industrial equipment, so it may take a while before it can be produced."
Ang Lee looked at the excited Yu Chaoen and said.
"No hurry, no hurry. The land in the suburbs has just been bought, and the factory hasn't been built yet. Even if Assistant Minister Li gives us the equipment now, we can't use it! "
Yu Chaoen said with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you're not in a hurry. Now, we've only made the silica gel. The next step is to mold it in layers. This requires a certain mold, and we still need to hire a skilled craftsman to carve it! Or, I'll leave this to you. I've already drawn the blueprint of the mold. "
Ang Lee looked at Yu Chaoen next to him and asked.
Yu Chaoen glanced at the blueprint and nodded with exultation. "Assistant Minister Li, don't worry! Leave this to me. I'll get it done for you immediately. By the way, what kind of mold material do you need? "
"Anything! Wood is fine, but the inner and outer surfaces need to be smooth. It would be better if the mold is made of copper. As long as there is a mold, the finished product can be made for you. "
Ang Lee said.
"Okay, I'll get it done right away. Goodbye."
Yu Chao En hurriedly took the blueprint and left. This was the business that Li An had given him. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic. As long as he could achieve mass production, he would have an endless amount of money to spend. He would also be able to enjoy a life that he could not enjoy before. He would be able to live a normal life.
The design of industrialization didn't take much time. In this regard, Ang Lee had enough knowledge. As long as he started working immediately, it wouldn't take long for him to design the industrialization process.
The New Year was coming, so Ang Lee didn't need to be too harsh on himself. He could only live up to himself by going out to play more. Moreover, it was time to buy the New Year's goods. Although there were people in charge of these things, as the head of the family, Ang Lee had to personally ask about it. Moreover, some special ingredients couldn't be obtained by ordinary people. Even if they were very rich, they might not be able to buy them.
A few days ago, Ang Lee set up a wild animal breeding base in Mount Li. The scale was not small, but in fact, in many places in the Tang dynasty, there were breeding bases. Although the animals raised weren't wild animals, some were really precious and couldn't be bought by ordinary people.
In addition, even if a very common animal was raised, some parts of the animal's body would be in high demand. Ordinary people couldn't enjoy them at all.
For example, the fish raised in the pond wasn't a delicacy at all, and the price wouldn't be very expensive. However, the price of the fish brain was extremely high, and not everyone was qualified to buy it.
After all, if a live fish's brain was sold, the fish would die. How could the price of a dead fish be compared with a live fish? In this way, the cost of buying a fish brain was at least half of the price of a live fish. Only in this way could it be possible to buy it.
The number of fish brains of a fish was very small, and it couldn't be made into an ingredient at all. At least hundreds of fish brains were needed to make a small piece of fish brain tofu, which could be eaten in one bite. For a family to have a satisfying meal, they needed at least ten thousand fish brains. This was just to satisfy their cravings. If they weren't very rich, who could afford it?
In addition, taking the brain from the head of each fish was also a technical work. If they didn't pay a high price, who would be willing to do it? Moreover, the ancient people paid attention to perfection. If there was a big hole in the fish brain, the rest of the fish would be worthless. Without absolute benefits, no one would be willing to make this delicacy.
Therefore, in the top restaurants of the Tang dynasty, this dish of fish brain tofu was very rare. Even if you were rich, you might not be able to eat this delicacy in the restaurant, because in many cases, this delicacy needed to be ordered in advance. Then, the waiter of the restaurant would contact the fisherman who sold the fish and the chef who had the skill of taking fish brains. Not everyone could succeed in making this delicacy because the resources were too scarce. Therefore, there would always be people cutting the line. Therefore, people with low status would never be able to get this delicacy.
In other words, if Ang Lee's servants went to the restaurant to order this dish, the restaurant might not give them face. Of course, they wouldn't refuse directly. Instead, they would politely tell them that it was fully booked. If there was no more room, they couldn't do anything.
If Ang Lee came in person, even if they couldn't do anything, Ang Lee had the ability to make them do something. For example, if there was a shortage of raw materials, they couldn't buy more fish. In short, there would be a way to solve this problem. This was something that the servants couldn't compare with.
The delicacies that Ang Lee wanted to eat were not only the fish brain tofu, but also many other delicacies that ordinary people had never heard of. These needed to be purchased by Ang Lee himself. Some even needed to be hunted in the mountains.
For example, in the vast mountains of the Tang dynasty, there were many very tempting delicacies. These delicacies were very rare ingredients. As long as they were in the market, they would immediately become popular goods. Even if the price kept increasing, it was difficult to dispel the ordinary people's desire to buy them. After all, there were more and more rich people now, and there were fewer and fewer wild animals. Otherwise, Ang Lee wouldn't have to spend so much effort to breed wild boars and pheasants.
In the future, in the West, there were three top delicacies: truffles, foie gras, and caviar. Among them, truffles were a kind of fungus. In fact, they were just mushrooms, but their price was ridiculously high. They were even more expensive than gold. In Europe, truffles symbolized nobility.
As for why truffles were so popular, it was probably because truffles had a unique aroma! This aroma fascinated many people and made them love it more and more. In addition, it was probably because truffles were a kind of wild mushroom, and the production was very small. It couldn't meet the needs of the general public, so it was inevitable that it would become the monopoly of a few people, making truffles a symbol of status.
But in the distant East, it was different. In the Nanzhao area of the Tang dynasty, there was also this kind of top truffles, called porcupine fungus. The local people didn't accept this kind of delicacy at all. They had always picked it to feed pigs. The local people were stupid enough to feed pigs with top delicacies. If Westerners knew, they would probably ridicule them. The diet of their aristocrats was the same as the diet of Oriental pigs. It was too funny that Western aristocrats liked to eat pig food.
Truffles were the top delicacies in the West, followed by foie gras. Domesticated geese were not rare, so foie gras should be a very common food. Why was it a top delicacy? Many people might not understand this point.
