Lin Jinyue's entire family transmigrated. They started in hell mode, with a three-year drought and war. During their escape, her mother and brother fell into a coma, and Lin Jinyue nearly becam...
Lin Man was a little embarrassed when she said this.
Although they can make some money from making coconut oil, it's still far less than what other people in the village earn.
Lin Man didn't complain about the amount of money.
Lin Jinyue takes care of his family, while his wife still runs a business in the city.
Lin Man then pushed the two people at home who were having some difficulties to go out, saying, "I was thinking that since we don't have enough manpower here, we can let them help with brewing. The current order volume is enough for the three of us."
It's impossible not to be envious of those who make wine and chili oil.
But Lin Man didn't want to cause Lin Jinyue any trouble.
Let alone three people, Lin Man felt that he could make coconut oil by himself.
It just takes some effort.
Lin Jinyue frowned. "No, we still have to make the coconut oil."
Coconut oil has many uses; it can be used as hand cream, face cream, and even edible.
The main reason is that the raw materials are cheap!
She also had Li the blacksmith work on a semi-automatic meat grinder. It's almost finished, and if there's not enough manpower, she can improve it by buying mules to make it. This will greatly improve the efficiency of making coconut oil in the future.
How could we not do such a profitable business?
Lin Jinyue then said directly to them, "Take whatever coconut oil you have left, I'll take you to sell it."
The group brought over a wooden box filled with jars of coconut oil.
There are about sixty cans in the two boxes.
This jar was specially customized by Lin Jinyue. It's a simple white porcelain jar with several cranes and auspicious clouds printed on it, along with the words "Yunheji" (Cloud Crane Record).
I heard that the two orders that were sold were made by people who bought them because they thought the jars were pretty.
Lin Jinyue was speechless for a moment.
Do these people even understand the benefits of coconut oil?
Lin Jinyue set up separate areas in the snack shop and teahouse, specifically for them to sell coconut oil.
When they arrived, they found the group sitting there blankly, not hawking their wares.
No wonder the coconut oil hasn't sold for so many days.
Lin Jinyue went directly to the back door of the snack shop and asked for a few pieces of diced meat, which were cut into very small pieces, just right for her to use as samples.
Lin Jinyue first marinated the meat, then coated the crispy pork with flour.
She then had someone prepare some more meat and requisitioned the stove used for stir-frying snails.
The others were a little confused, "It's not my turn yet, why aren't they selling anymore?"
Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "It's not that I don't want to sell it, but I want you to try our new coconut oil, for free."
Upon hearing that there were new products available, many people rushed over from the teahouse.
How could you miss out on Lin Jinyue's new amazing products?
When they arrived, Lin Jinyue said she wouldn't sell anything else, only coconut oil.
She also thoughtfully taught them how to deep-fry the meat: "First marinate the meat, then coat it with flour and add coconut oil."
At this point, some people from families with modest means said, "How can we afford this oil? A bottle of oil costs more than two hundred coins now, and they say the price of pork keeps rising."
Lin Jinyue then said, "Our coconut oil, one jar is more than a pot of oil outside, and it's only fifty coins. However, this jar costs ten coins. Next time, bring the jar with you, and we'll just fill it with oil for you, and it will only cost fifty coins."
The group of people were stunned when they heard what Lin Jinyue said.
What? Coconut oil is so cheap?
Even a few years ago, lard wasn't this cheap.
Some people didn't believe it, asking, "Can this oil be used for cooking?"
Lin Jinyue laughed and said, "Why not? Look, I'm making crispy pork with coconut oil right now!"
Once a plate of crispy pork was ready, Lin Jinyue handed it to them on bamboo skewers.
She also asked, "Tell me, how does the food fried in this coconut oil taste? I use this coconut oil in both of my shops."
Most people can't taste it.
Only the most discerning gourmets want to eat it again and again.
Mr. Wu was a frequent visitor to Lin Jinyue's house. "Oh my, these deep-fried ones aren't so greasy!"
Lin Jinyue said with a smile, "That's right. Coconut oil tastes better and only costs fifty coins. It can be stored for a long time. Everyone who needs it can come and buy it. There are only sixty jars left now, so you'd better hurry if you want some."
In the blink of an eye, all fifty-nine cans of coconut oil were sold out.
Someone stared at the coconut oil in Lin Jinyue's pot, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Can I buy the rest of this?"
As he spoke, he took out sixty copper coins and placed them in front of Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue:......
Well, maybe we should just forget about it?
Lin Jinyue smiled and said to everyone, "Don't worry, come tomorrow. The price of this oil won't go up in the short term, and there's no need to rush to buy it. It will be sold every day from now on."
Hearing this, the group reluctantly left.
Lin Man looked at Lin Jinyue, and despite being a man of advanced age, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Lin Man could hardly believe it: "Er Ya, how are you so amazing? You sold all the coconut oil we haven't been able to sell in a long time with just one move."
Lin Jinyue proudly puffed out her chest: "Of course!"
The things she carefully selected, the things that could be made by a group of people at this critical time when there is a shortage of manpower, must be particularly useful and affordable.
Take coconut oil for example. As production increases, she can sell it to Guangcheng, Yunmeng County, and Yunsong County.
Moreover, coconut oil can be stored for a long time, so transporting it over long distances is not a problem.
Once Li the blacksmith's semi-automatic contraption is fixed, it will definitely make these people a fortune.
Lin Man then asked, "Do we have to do this from now on? Pork is really expensive these days, and giving it away for free every day is really..."
He couldn't bear to part with it.
Lin Jinyue then said, "No need."
The sales volume of coconut oil will definitely be high in the future, and we are already short-handed. How can we let Lin Man and the others do those trivial things?
We might as well make more coconut oil now.
If she can't sell them, she'll go to a fancy restaurant and negotiate with them.
Lin Man then said, "But there weren't many people who came just now..."
Lin Jinyue had already prepared for this.
She had brought several large wooden planks with her before she arrived. They were made by carpenter Wang and had smooth surfaces with hanging space on the back.
Lin Jinyue bought some paint and began painting on the wooden board.
The background is blue sky and white clouds, coconut trees, and next to it are the words: Refreshing Coconut Oil, fifty cents a jar, more cost-effective than lard!
Lin Jinyue then drew small pictures on it, depicting various things cooked with coconut oil.
These things are quite eye-catching.
After all, this art style is quite rare.
Passersby can't help but take a look.
Lin Jinyue placed the sign on the counter of the snack shop, and planned to put another one at the entrance later.
From now on, coconut oil won't need advertising; other new products that aren't selling well can be advertised in turn.
