At once, all the people who had gone to the fields to work in the morning came back.
Everyone was very worried about Lin Jinyue's situation.
Lin Jinyue looked at her father's worried eyes and said, "Don't worry, we won't sell snails anymore, we will just sell seasonings, which will save more money."
Everyone else was a little confused. What, selling seasonings?
Then didn’t their secret recipe get learned by others?
Lin Shucheng reacted immediately and rubbed Lin Jinyue's head: "Girl, you are so smart!"
Lin Jinyue chuckled.
She continued to explain: "Anyway, the method of stir-frying snails is different from that of eating cold rabbit, and the chili is also unique to us. We don't worry at all that after selling the seasoning, we won't be able to sell the cold rabbit in the future."
Lin Jinyue also plans to make coconut oil herself, but she doesn't know what the coconut oil will taste like.
It is quite expensive to buy oil specifically, and you may not be able to buy it if you use a large amount.
Lin Jinyue asked Lin Shucheng to go to the town to customize a batch of porcelain bottles. She also took the samples she made last time, but the finished products were one size smaller than the samples.
And you have to engrave the three words "Yunheji" on it, so that you can become famous faster.
After all, they cook it in big pots.
Below is a porcelain bottle for seasoning, sealed with a cork, and the lid on top can be used as a measuring cup.
The amount in one bottle can be used for about five times, and can be used to stir-fry more than ten servings of snails.
Lin Jinyue just felt that peppers were a rare thing and had not been grown on a large scale, so the price could not be set too low, and she seemed unable to grow peppers.
Ancient times are different from modern times. In modern times, there are various safeguards. No matter how rich or high your status is, you cannot just steal other people's things.
But it's different here.
Chen Dawei could use threats and bribes to snatch her snails, and he also had a way to ruin her peppers.
Lin Jinyue thought that it would be better to grow peppers in the space. It seemed that she would have to clear another acre of land to grow peppers. Now in addition to selling snail seasonings, she also had to make cold rabbit, so the demand for peppers was still great.
With the help of these three people, Lin Jinyue discovered that making coconut oil was not difficult, so the cost of seasoning could be further reduced.
It’s not about saving a little bit of gas money, Lin Jinyue just wants to make more money with the villagers.
Coconut oil is not difficult to make, but it is a laborious job. You just need to split the coconut, scrape off the coconut meat and crush it, then you can cook out the oil.
The oil yield of coconuts is not very high, but they are strong and can do a lot in a day.
There are coconuts everywhere on the coast in Lingnan.
Lin Jinyue tried to use coconut oil as seasoning to stir-fry snails.
You know what, it tastes really good.
Although it is not as fragrant as lard, coconut oil is clearer and less greasy. Anyway, the taste is similar.
Lin Jinyue set the price, "Out there, a pot of oil costs 100 yuan, but your coconut oil..."
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "We can sell them in town for fifty yuan each. We also need to customize the oil bottles, which cost ten yuan each. We won't charge that much. If people bring old bottles here, as long as they are not broken, we will recycle them for eight yuan."
Although the cost is low, they all do manual labor and we can't let them earn too little.
However, since they sell in the village, they don't have to call for help themselves, and the large quantity does not require transportation, so Lin Jinyue suggested that they sell it for 40 yuan a pot, but the final price is up to them to decide.
The profit sharing was still the same: they took 50%, Lin Jinyue took 20%, and the villagers took 30%.
You know what, they were all very happy, with the corners of their mouths stretched to the back of their ears.
Lin Jinyue's fifth cousin Lin Man said cheerfully, "You are still very capable. Your grandfather and uncle are both short-sighted."
Lin Jinyue smiled sweetly at him, "Fifth Uncle is still good to me. I have wanted to take you with me for a long time, but I just haven't found a suitable opportunity."
Lin Man and his family were really nice to her, and his son Shitou called her "sister" very sweetly.
At that time, Lin Youliang wanted to sell her, and apart from the village chief, it was this cousin who insisted on opposing it.
It was also at this time that several women who sold fried snails in the city came back.
There was still some worry on Liu's face, but when she came back and saw that the villagers were all talking and laughing, as if there was no one around, her worry was immediately reduced.
Lin Jinyue looked at their anxious expressions and said with a smile, "It's just right that you are here. I have something else to tell you."
Lin Jinyue brought the three of them to her own small courtyard before she started talking about the chili oil.
When Liu heard this, her eyes lit up: "Then can we sell further? If we only sell seasonings, they can be kept for many days. If we sell to Yunsong County and Yunmeng County, can we make more money?"
Lin Jinyue nodded, "That's right, but making seasoning is definitely easier than selling snails, and more peppers are needed, and we need to go to other towns to negotiate business... Otherwise, the profit will definitely not be as high as before. So I thought, let my dad do these trivial things, and you can't take such a high profit."
Liu and the others nodded: "That's true, we have a lot less work to do."
Finally, Lin Jinyue negotiated with them that they would take 30% of the profits, Lin Jinyue's family would take 40%, and the remaining 30% would be given to the village.
Liu and her family thought this was a good idea. After all, Lin Shucheng had to travel to other towns and do business with them. They could earn less but wouldn't have to run back and forth so hard.
What's more, now the three of them can continue to make money, which is much better than their previous thought that the snail business would be completely stopped.
As a result, Liu asked what price Lin Jinyue was going to sell it for.
After Lin Jinyue answered, she was stunned.
"What? Did I hear you right? One hundred dollars a bottle, and the bottle is charged extra?!"
The rich wife was also shocked: "What, one bottle can only be used five times? This, this is not good, right?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Yes, that's right, that's how we sell it. Don't even mention five times. At most, we can make more than a dozen servings for a hundred. But you have to find the snails yourself. Anyway, they are everywhere and not expensive."
But she still gave a warning: "But if the quantity is large, such as a restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be sold at such a high price if it is directly packed in wooden barrels."
Liu was good at math. She calculated that if they could do it this way, although they would only get 30% of the profits, they would be able to earn more money.
They made the seasoning before, but it didn’t take long. The main problem was that it was a bit troublesome to cook the snails.
The three Lius were really happy.
When I went back, the smile on my face couldn't be closed.
If Lin Jinyue hadn't said that they had to wait two days while she prepared the peppers and fired porcelain bottles, they would have been eager to start making money today.
As for the surrounding counties, Lin Jinyue planned to see the pepper production before deciding whether to go and negotiate business with them so soon.
Don't let the deal be negotiated by then, as she may not be able to supply enough peppers.
*
Lin Jinyue had already made all the arrangements and was ready to make a fortune while Lingnan was still stable.
Money is needed everywhere.
Building ships for refuge, storing food, and making weapons for self-defense all cost money.
I was so busy that I forgot to deal with Chen Dawei.
At this moment, Chen Dawei was standing at the door of a large blue brick and tile house. He wondered whether he should go to the small mound and take a look.
Why haven’t Lin Jinyue and the others come to buy snails yet?
Chen Dawei's son also asked: "Dad, do we still need to go collect snails today?"
Chen Dawei frowned: "Collect! We must collect! Collect them all!"
