Chapter 24-Making a Fortune
Li Tai and Fang Yi 'ai had just walked to the door when they smelled a fragrance coming from inside.
Even a prince like Li Tai couldn't help but swallow his words.
As for Fang Yi 'ai, her saliva had already reached the corner of her mouth. She sniffed hard and couldn't help but say,""It smells so good."
"I wonder what delicious food Master is eating. Let's go and take a look.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Tai had already taken a step forward. Coupled with his fat body, he looked like a walking lump of fat meat.
Following the fragrance, the two of them quickly located the source. It was the stewed beef with potatoes.
"Teacher, you're actually eating beef?" Li Tai asked in surprise.”
As a prince, Li Tai knew very well that the Great Tang only had a few tens of thousands of cows. Each cow was extremely precious and could not be eaten.
Even if it was a prince or an emperor.
That was why Li Tai was so surprised when he saw Cheng Chuwen eating beef.
However, Cheng Chuwen did not care at all. He said lightly,"Just now, a cow saw the yield of potatoes and committed suicide out of shame. In order to avenge the cow, I even ate some potatoes.”
No one would believe such nonsense, including Li Tai and Fang Yi 'ai.
However, when they saw Cheng Chuwen putting pieces into his mouth, coupled with the fragrance that was constantly wafting, Li Tai and Li Tai couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Seeing this, Cheng Chuwen said generously,"Sit down and eat together!"”
"Thank you, Master."
The two of them didn't need Cheng Chuwen to entertain them. They took their bowls and chopsticks and joined Cheng Chuwen.
As for why they couldn't eat beef, they had already thrown it to the back of their minds.
The pot of stewed beef with potato didn't last long, and the three of them licked it clean. Cheng Chuwen put it on his chopsticks and said lightly,""Why are you looking for me?"
At this moment, Li Tai and the other two remembered the important matter. They quickly took out the data that Cheng Chuwen had given them and opened it."Master, did you make the paper inside?”
"Yes, I did. Is there a problem?" Cheng Chuwen nodded.”
"No, no!"
Li Tai shook his head repeatedly, then nodded repeatedly. He said excitedly,"Master, are we going to be rich? In short, we're going to be rich.”
Seeing that Li Tai was incoherent, Cheng Chuwen pressed him against the chair and said,""Speak slowly. What's going on? What do you mean we're going to be rich?”
"You don't know how expensive this paper is in the Great Tang, and the quality is much worse than yours. If we sell this paper of yours, we can definitely make a fortune.”
Li Tai was still very excited. He desperately explained to Cheng Chuwen the value of this piece of paper.
As an experienced person, Cheng Chuwen naturally knew the value of his paper. He also knew that he could make a lot of money by putting this paper on the market.
However, other than him, everyone in the Cheng family was a martial artist. No one was in business at all. He did not have the time to take care of these things. Otherwise, he would have long pushed this kind of paper to the market. He could even push things like penicillin to the market.
However, when Cheng Chuwen looked at Li Tai again, he suddenly had an idea and asked,""Li Tai, do you have any caravans or talents who know how to do business under you?”
Li Tai was instantly stumped. After a while, he said faintly,"Master, you robbed my caravan before. Have you forgotten?”
Cheng Chuwen thought for a moment and didn't have any impression of it, so he asked suspiciously,"Did I? Why don't I remember?"
Li Tai gritted his teeth and said," You did. Five years ago, in Lantian County outside Chang 'an City, my caravan was robbed by you as soon as I came back. In the end, I left a sum of money and ran away. I also know about this."”
"Is that so?"
Cheng Chuwen looked at Fang Yi 'ai and saw her nod. He smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the topic,""Since you have a caravan, it's easy.
Now, I have a task for you. Find two places outside Chang 'an City and build a paper-making workshop and a penicillin workshop. I'll write the raw materials needed for these two workshops to you later, and you can collect them.
The paper and penicillin produced by these two workshops will be sold to your caravan first, and then your caravan will sell them to all parts of the Great Tang.”
Hearing that Cheng Chuwen was even planning to sell his antibiotics, Li Tai nodded vigorously.
He was very clear about the effects of penicillin. It was a drug that could bring the dead back to life. If this thing appeared on the market, it would definitely sell for a good price.
However, Li Tai did not forget his benefits. He asked Cheng Chuwen,"That…blood brothers settle accounts. Although you're my master, this is business, so it's better to settle accounts clearly.”
Knowing what Li Tai was worried about, Cheng Chuwen smiled and said,"I don't plan to share it with you. I'm just selling it to your caravan. As for how much money the caravan earns, that's yours.
However, let me say this first. The price of these two items can't be more than half of what I'm selling to you. Otherwise, I won't sell them to your caravan.”
"Ah!"
Li Tai didn't expect Cheng Chuwen to be so generous. He quickly cupped his hands and said,"Thank you, Master. I will definitely follow your instructions. The caravan will definitely not set the price of these two things at more than half.”
Li Tai was also a prince. Since he had already said it, he naturally believed him.
"But you have to help me take care of the workshop."”
"Definitely!"
