Li Yun looked at the rice. It was yellowish in color, and he knew it wasn't good rice. It must be stale rice from last year. He wondered if he could just buy it directly from Haoduoduo.
Look at that brown rice, which is used to feed chickens today. Rapeseed oil is okay and can be beneficial for your health, but the quality of fried rapeseed oil is quite poor. Of course, in ancient times, there certainly wasn't the equipment we have today to produce high-quality rapeseed oil. They probably ground it using stone mills.
When Li Yun saw the salt, he thought he had a chance to make money. This coarse salt weighed three ounces per pound, and the salt wasn't white enough, just yellowish, a telltale sign of poor refinement. If he bought fine salt for a dollar a bag on Haoduoduo and sold it, he wondered what the price would be.
Li Yun felt this was the best business opportunity, and she could make more money than selling colored glass. Colored glass was a luxury, only the wealthy could afford it. But salt was different. Everyone needed salt, otherwise they would become so dehydrated that they couldn't even walk. Since ordinary people couldn't afford fine salt, she could take coarse salt from her space and sell it.
Li Yun thought this idea was feasible, but who should he sell the salt to? He didn't know much about the world, so he couldn't possibly open a salt shop on his own. No, opening a salt shop without connections could bring him disaster. What he could do now was find a restaurant, buy some recipes, and then buy some modern seasonings. Maybe there was a way to make money there? He decided to rent a warehouse first, so he could store the seasonings he sold online and start making them whenever he wanted.
I bought two pounds of spices from the grain store and asked the waiter if there was a warehouse for rent.
"Little Brother, is there a warehouse for rent?"
"Madam, there is a dock behind the government office, and there are warehouses for rent there."
Li Yun felt that he had become stupid. There must be a warehouse at the dock, and those goods must be placed at the dock waiting for the ship to come and take them away.
After giving the silver, he said goodbye to the waiter and walked towards the pier north of the county town.
There were rows of warehouses along the docks, some stocked with goods, others with "For Rent" signs on their doors. Li Yun had looked at the warehouses for rent. Although she couldn't see inside, she could tell roughly how big they were by looking at the outside. The last one caught her eye, thinking it was incredibly well-hidden, perfect for someone like her with a secret.
There was a room next to the warehouse, which was probably where the warehouse manager worked. Li Yun went over to ask how much the warehouse would cost to rent.
"Boss, how much do these warehouses cost to rent?"
"That depends on how you rent it. A one-month lease costs five hundred coins, a two-month lease costs one thousand coins, and a lease of more than three months costs four hundred coins per month. How would you like to rent it, Madam?"
"Boss, I'll rent it for a month. I'll put some things there temporarily, and it will be shipped out soon."
"Then rent it for a month, 500 wen. Which one do you want?"
"Let's rent the last one?"
After Li Yun finished speaking, he saw the man start to write a lease contract and asked Li Yun to sign it.
Li Yun gave him five hundred coins, took the contract and the key and left.
Li Yun came to the last warehouse, opened the lock, pushed the door open and went in. The area inside was very large and messy and dirty everywhere.
Li Yun cleaned up the warehouse, swept up the garbage on the ground, locked the door from the inside, and slipped into the space.
I entered the space, opened my phone, found the shopping website, and clicked on it.
Li Yun first thought of fine salt. It couldn't have been packaged in modern packaging in ancient times, so it had to be in a clay pot. He searched for "pottery pots" and clicked on it. A multitude of pottery pots appeared on the screen, large and small, in all colors.
He found a 300-milliliter blue-and-white pottery jar for 9.2 yuan each, so he bought ten, spending 92 yuan. He then spotted a 600-milliliter pottery jar for 13.92 yuan, buying ten for 139.20 yuan. He then spotted a 100-jin pottery jar for 14.73 yuan, buying a hundred for 1,473 yuan. Finally, at the very bottom of the net, he found a 2-jin pottery jar. This one had the largest capacity and was perfect for storing oil. It cost 13.88 yuan, costing 694 yuan. Unexpectedly, this one was even cheaper than the 1-jin one, and Li Yun regretted not coming down and buying a hundred.
Li Yun looked at the pile of clay pots in front of him and wondered what seasonings he should buy. He thought of the recipe for the dish he was selling: it called for soy sauce, MSG, chicken stock, bone broth powder, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. He knew what he should buy.
Searching for "iodized salt" revealed a wide variety of iodized salt brands. I chose a type of iodized salt that cost one yuan per pound (approximately 100 kg) and bought 100 bags, spending 100 yuan.
Then I searched for "MSG" and it brought up all sorts of brands, flavors, and sizes. I chose a 100-gram bag of MSG, which cost 4.29 yuan each. I bought ten bags, spending 42.9 yuan.
I searched for 'chicken essence' again and bought a four-pound bag. Each bag cost nine yuan and forty cents. I bought ten bags and spent ninety-four yuan.
I also bought a bucket of bone soup powder on Haoduoduo. A ten-pound bottle cost me fifty-six yuan and eighty cents.
I bought peanut oil, a barrel of ten pounds, one barrel for one hundred yuan, I bought two barrels, and spent two hundred yuan; I bought ten pounds each of dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, and spent a total of sixty-one yuan and sixty cents; I bought three bottles of soy sauce, each weighing three pounds and two ounces, and spent a total of one hundred and sixty-two yuan and forty cents.
Li Yun looked at the pottery jar and the seasonings. How could he possibly put all of them in? Could he control them with his mind? Li Yun thought he could give it a try.
Just as I was about to take action, I heard the sound of payment being requested from many shopping websites.
"Dear master, the total consumption this time is 4,115 yuan."
Li Yun...
"Wow." There's even this kind of operation.
Li Yun was stunned by this high technology. He thought that he was ignorant and could not keep up with the times.
Li Yun came to his senses and logged out of many websites.
I cleaned the jars with my mind, wiped them clean, tore open the packaging, and poured salt into the one-pound jar. I poured fifty pounds of iodized salt into the two-pound jar, leaving twenty-five jars. I poured peanut oil into the jars, leaving fifteen two-pound jars. I poured the bone broth powder into the jars, leaving ten jars.
Then use your mind to pour dark soy sauce, chicken essence, MSG and soy sauce into the ceramic jar respectively.
After doing all this, Li Yunjue felt a little dizzy. He lay on the ground and rested for half an hour before he came back to life. It turned out that operating with mind power was so hard.
Li Yun took the spices out of the space and put them in the warehouse. He took a can of each and put it in his backpack. He carried them out of the warehouse, locked the door, and went to Huimin Restaurant.
Arriving at the restaurant, I saw a two-story restaurant that looked very impressive. However, the business inside the restaurant was average, with not many customers inside. However, the Tianxianglou across the street was packed with people.
When Li Yun entered the restaurant, the waiter rushed over to greet her warmly, not looking down on her for her shabby clothes. Li Yun was very satisfied with the waiter and believed that the restaurant was worth cooperating with.
