Chapter 2231 Standing on Your Own
When he arrived outside Jinan City, Huang Chun became nervous. He was about to meet Bai Yufen, the elder sister of the Bai family. Does she want to see him? What's the situation with her family? Are the two of them willing to take them in in the past? These are all uncertain.
"Jing Qi, what kind of person is your sister? Is her family easy to get along with?" Huang Chun asked worriedly, and she rubbed her stomach, "If she sees me like this, won't she think I'm shameless?" At this time, it is not pleasant to say that you are unmarried and pregnant.
"Let's not be in a hurry to see my sister. Anyway, I am also a man, so what's the matter with others? I told my family so that they would not worry. I thought about it when I came out of the capital. Before sister Yufen came back When I was in Beijing, I gave me some long glue. I studied it carefully. Although this long glue is a good thing, there are still things that can be improved. As long as I find the right way, I can make a great career! "Shen Long seemed full of confidence.
The so-called Longjiao is a kind of donkey-hide gelatin cake, which is made from donkey-hide gelatin, walnut kernels, black sesame, rock sugar, rice wine, rose powder, wolfberry and other auxiliary materials, and the key is donkey-hide gelatin.
After entering Jinan City, I found a yard in Wuli Lane and rented it for money. There was a big willow tree and a well platform outside the yard. Opposite Jingtaier, there is a small courtyard with two small west rooms. Although the courtyard is small, it has all internal organs. The young couple live comfortably. Shen Long asked Huang Chun to rest at home. It's all set up.
From this day on, the young couple began to live in Wuli Lane. Huang Chun stayed at home to do housework and wait for delivery. They had an extra dish in their rice bowl, spiced donkey meat. Not far from here was the Xiaolong River, the river There are donkey killers all around, donkey skins are boiled for glue, and donkey meat is sold, because the donkey meat produced by boiling glue is too much, so it can’t be bought at a high price, but it is cheaper Shen Long, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground , this taste is very beautiful.
Shen Long went out every day, especially paying attention to the area of Xiaolong River. The cool water of Xiaolong River flows slowly. There are a few people carrying water from the river. , there is a small store, Shen Long pretends to be a businessman buying goods from other places, and looks at the small workshops as he walks.
At the entrance of a small workshop, an old man who was over the age of age was sitting smoking a hookah. Shen Long walked up to him and sat down, "Old man, is this piece made of boiled glue?"
The old man was puffing and puffing on a cigarette, "Medicine, it's good for your body, business is going well!"
Shen Long said, "Boil it with donkey skin?"
The old man is also happy to chat with people, "Donkey skin, add herbs."
Shen Long asked again, "What herbs to add?"
The old man looked at the forest, "Are you here to buy, right? You should know that this herbal medicine has a lot of knowledge, and the prescriptions of each family are different, and they are not rumored, so the efficacy of this medicine is also different!"
Shen Long continued to ask,
"Tell me about it, why is it different?" The old man came to talk with great interest, Jing Qi listened attentively, thanked the old man, and Jing Qi politely went to several "Xiaolongjiao" workshops to ask for advice , and even asked the guys who were cooking glue by the side of the pot for advice. These people thought that Shen Long wanted to buy glue, so as long as he could see it, let him see enough.
There are also guys explaining, blowing their own things vigorously, Shen Long nodded with a smile, and occasionally asked a few questions, some guys answered without saying a word, and some detoured to the side. It's everyone's secret recipe.
Shen Long didn't care either. He had a lot of information about donkey-hide gelatin. He had looked for the unique secret recipe of Dong'e donkey-hide gelatin in later generations. The main reason for asking so many questions was to verify how far the current production level can be achieved, so that he can make a good choice. The most suitable prescription. In addition, he also wanted to see which of these rubber villages had a good business and which one had a poor business. He was going to choose one to buy.
After spending more than half a month by the Xiaolong River, Shen Long has already figured out the situation clearly. The best business on both sides of the river is Sun Wantian's Sunji Jiaozhuang. The glue of their family, um, Mr. Lu is the father of Bai Yufen's husband.
And the worst business is Luji Jiaozhuang. Luji Jiaozhuang was the first to boil glue on both sides of the Xiaolong River. The admiral of Jinan used their glue. Unfortunately, it is easy to start a business and difficult to maintain a business. There are more and more rubber factories on both sides of the Xiaolong River, and they are slowly being squeezed out. Now the admiral does not use their glue, and retail investors can’t sell it. Only a few people are left guarding the stalls to survive. .
This happened to be cheap for Shen Long. When Shen Long came to the gate of Luji Jiaozhuang, he opened the curtain and went in. The big guy Shi Yuanxiang hurried out to greet him, "Hey, Master Bai, you are here again. Did you think about it today? Planning to buy our glue?"
"Well, I want to do a big business with you, you can't decide this matter, let your shopkeeper come out!" Shen Long came to the table and sat down, crossing his legs.
"Wait a minute, I'll call someone over for you right away!" Shi Yuanxiang quickly called the shopkeeper Lu out, and the shopkeeper Lu clasped his fists to salute, and asked Shi Yuanxiang to bring some refreshments, then asked with concern, "Master Bai, how much do you plan to order? I will definitely pick the best glue for you, all made from black donkey skin, there is absolutely no glue made from other fur-colored donkey skins!"
Not all donkey skins can boil donkey-hide gelatin, but black donkey skin is the best. According to the research results of later generations, it is said that black donkey skin absorbs light most, so it absorbs the most sunlight, so it has the highest nutrition. I understand this, but after so many years of hard work, they have also summed up some experience.
If you say that this black donkey is really a good thing, the skin can be boiled into glue, the meat can be eaten, and the hooves can deal with big rice dumplings, so it can also nourish everything, and the whole body is full of treasures.
"You don't have to choose for me. I didn't buy donkey-hide gelatin this time. To be honest, if I really want to buy donkey-hide gelatin, I must go to Sunji Jiaozhuang. Their donkey-hide gelatin is much better than yours! Let me just say it, Lu Shopkeeper, is your Jiaozhuang sold or not?" Shen Long asked straight to the point.
"Master Bai, from what you said, this is a family business that I have worked so hard to build. How can I sell it!" Shopkeeper Lu immediately refused.
Pa, without saying a word, Shen Long took out a silver ticket and put it on the table. Shopkeeper Lu took a closer look, and there was fifty taels written on it! He continued to refuse, "Master Bai, it's not about money!"
Crack, another fifty taels was thrown at him, Shi Yuanxiang's eyes turned green from the sidelines, and shopkeeper Lu couldn't help swallowing, but he held back, "Master Bai, this is really impossible!"
Slap, the third fifty-two silver ticket was photographed again, "This is the last one, if it doesn't work, I'll ask someone else!"
"Cheng Chengcheng, can't I sell it?" Shopkeeper Lu admitted.
