Well, due to the limited planting area, it seems impossible to divide the world into two, but it will definitely occupy a considerable share.
After all, in addition to soybean oil, sesame oil is extremely rare in the world, and the latter is expensive even for ordinary landlords.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that some landlords will make mindless remarks that make people lose their senses - Why should the poor people eat the same oil as us? Then there are also the remarks made during the Chinese New Year when Chen Xi sells meat at a low price. Do the people of Guizhou deserve to eat meat?
Chen Xi is quite troubled by this kind of remarks. Just forget it, it doesn't make any sense. The other party just beeped twice. The official sales don't care about you people. But don't care. These flies are buzzing and they are disgusting. people!
Therefore, after Chen Xi celebrated the Chinese New Year, he came up with the idea of creating an IQ tax. Since you feel that soybean oil cannot reflect your sense of superiority, I should produce some edible oil that can be used to collect IQ tax. However, I did not find a suitable tax at that time. IQ tax oils.
After all, relatively speaking, rapeseed oil has no obvious advantage over soybean oil. If an IQ tax is to be collected, similar products with certain advantages can collect a 200% IQ tax with a 20% advantage. , and it can also make people feel that they have made money.
"So, Your Highness, you don't understand at all." Chen Xi looked at a little girl who is not experienced in the world, "You have no idea how much benefit there is in this."
Well, in fact, it is mainly for those small landowners, small and medium-sized aristocratic families, branches of large aristocratic families, factions, etc. A step.
Society must develop in a harmonious direction. If it is not necessary, Chen Xi will not use strong methods to beat those disobedient families. After all, there are many methods, why choose the most uncomfortable and most likely to produce confrontational thoughts? What about the plan?
Since you think that ordinary people are not worthy of eating meat, no problem, I will give you a meat classification. Although I don’t understand most of the classifications, I can find a professional to classify it for you, and then find you another one. If you know about food science, Chen Xi’s cook will give you a few blows.
I will chop up a cow for you and divide it into more than a dozen types and grades for you to buy. Although the meat from the same cow has different tastes, the grades can also be different!
In the same way, the same can be said for oils. I think you didn’t have edible oil available at the time. I personally developed the soybean oil pressing technology and let you eat the oil. But now you actually tell me that the grassroots people in Guizhou are not worthy of eating it. OK, okay? Let me give you an upgrade.
"I'd like to hear the details." Liu Tong curled her lips and said. She really didn't know what was good about peanuts. If they were really good, Ji wouldn't give them to her as snacks.
Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly. If you don't do such a good business, no wonder you don't have any money.
"By the way, I forgot to ask, where do the peanuts come from?" Chen Xi asked casually, but they had all been eaten.
"The snacks given to me by the Xu family seem to be grown by the Ji family." Liu Tong thought for a while and said, "It is said that their family grows this to make something like bean sprouts, and then uses it to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. It is said that food can bring longevity. .”
"But if you think about it, it's strange. These beans-like things can be made into sprouts, and the sprouts are really delicious." Liu Tong didn't notice the puzzled expression on Chen Xi's face at all, and looked up He said with some confusion.
"Did Ji's family actually grow this?" Chen Xi said in surprise.
"Yes, it is said that I didn't grow up before. Marquis Cang married a young lady of the Ji family before, and then he did research there. I studied this by the way, and he grew much bigger than before." Liu Tong nodded and said, "As for the bean sprouts, Mrs. Ji also had some brought over, but when the eunuch cooked the meat, he had already eaten them all."
"Does food help you live longer?" Chen Xi nodded slightly. This thing does have an anti-aging effect, but compared to the anti-aging effect, it is better to believe that you can live a long life, like peanut buds. The effect is barely enough, but better than nothing.
"Do you still believe this?" Liu Tong curled his lips and said, then looked Chen Xi up and down, covered his mouth and snickered, "Rather than believe this, Chen Hou might as well spend some time practicing martial arts. This is much more reliable than the peanut bud." , soft inner Qi, healthy inner Qi, and life-extending inner Qi are all found in the palace."
"Let's continue talking about peanuts." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, if he was interested in life extension or something, he would have stolen the supreme god in the east by now. What is the Third Noble Son, what is the Creator, I am your immediate boss. !
"Okay, I really need to make some money." Liu Tong nodded and said.
"Doudou knows." Chen Xi looked at Liu Tong and said.
Liu Tong nodded, did she know about this thing that changed the diet of the Han Dynasty? Not even the straw of soybeans was left, all were wiped out, bean sprouts, tofu curd, soy milk, dried tofu, bean cake, soy oil , tofu, etc., can be said to be an indispensable item in the current Han Dynasty recipes.
Think about it, the recipe given to the frontline soldiers by the Old Yuan family is soy milk, tofu curd, bean sprouts or dried bean curds fried with various kinds of meat, and then added with steamed buns and bean dregs cakes. However, after eating like this, the soldiers of the Old Yuan family did not show up. Any malnutrition.
"Peanuts can also be made without any straw left." Chen Xi said proudly to Liu Tong, "And compared to soybean straw, peanut stalks are more suitable for feeding cattle!"
"By the way, peanuts can also be used to squeeze oil, and the taste is more fragrant. The remaining peanut residue can also be used to make peanut cakes. Ordinary peanuts can also be used to sprout peanuts, and the excess residue can be used to make peanut cakes. Peanut butter, so..." Chen Xi looked at Liu Tong and said with a smile on his face.
At this time, Liu Tong's eyes were already glowing with gold. The soybean business was very profitable, especially Chen Xi's method of feeding the cows with straw. It would be damned if he could lose money. He didn't expect that peanuts could be operated like this. Liu Tong had already I saw a golden avenue.
"More importantly, peanut oil is more fragrant. Even if it is not as good as sesame oil, it can still be used to open up certain markets. After all, it is more advanced than soybean oil, right." Chen Xi smiled sinisterly, and Liu Tong Her eyes widened, she already understood Chen Xi's plan.
After all, what is at stake is the thinking circuit of the guy opposite. As long as you have this knowledge and the brain circuits are the same, the results will be the same.
However, this not-so-good idea not only did not make Liu Tong feel that Chen Xi had no conscience, but also greatly increased Liu Tong's interest. This is a standard that has market demand, but there is no market for corresponding products. As long as it is produced , don’t worry about selling!
As for whether you feel sorry for those people by doing this, selling soybean oil for three times the price even though it shouldn’t be so expensive? Ahem, cough, cough, are we selling oil? No, what we sell is high-end. Besides, as the eldest princess, I charge some taxes. You are not forced to pay them. If you don’t want to buy them, there is soybean oil next door!
Liu Tong's eyes were shining. She had already determined that this was a golden avenue. She didn't say anything, so she would do this next. As expected, Chen Zichuan was always reliable and had nothing to say.
Liu Tong left with a complete plan. As for the questions he originally wanted to ask Chen Xi and taking Huaiyin Marquis out to play, they were all forgotten. Liu Tong also had the concept of making enough food and clothing by himself. Yes, it's just that I haven't had the chance to execute it before.
"Hey, Zichuan, can peanuts really produce oil?" Liu Ye asked curiously after Liu Tong left, "What's the percentage of oil produced?"
"What's the oil content of soybeans and peanuts?" Chen Xi curled his lips and said.
A pound of soybeans can only produce one tael of oil at the current level of oil extraction, while peanuts should be able to produce more than two taels to three taels according to current technology, and there is no mechanized harvesting now, so the cost of planting the two things is basically the same. The difference in output will not be too big.
It can be said that as far as oil-bearing cash crops are concerned, peanuts have surpassed soybeans. As for the impact of climate and soil, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Han Dynasty has no other crops and still has a lot of territory.
Liu Ye was shocked. What did you say, you beast?
As soon as Chen Xi said this, even supervisors like Lu Su and Zhuge Liang who were involved in people's livelihood stopped writing. Please repeat what you said before.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes. The oil yield of peanuts is twice that of soybeans. This is common sense. In addition, there is currently no mechanization advantage in soybean planting. If peanuts are fully planted, peanut oil will It can almost directly knock soybean oil out of the current market with its fragrance and higher oil yield.
Divide the world into two? Just kidding, if it weren’t for the soil, climate, and the inertia of widespread cultivation of soybeans, given the current social environment of the Han Dynasty, peanuts could drive soybeans out of the oil market.
"Weren't you deceiving Her Royal Highness before?" Jia Xu sighed and said. Because of Tang Ji, Jia Xu took relatively good care of Liu Tong.
"No, why did I deceive her?" Chen Xi said angrily to Jia Xu, "What I said are all facts. This is just like soybeans. Even the dregs are cleaned up. Besides, some things are really true. There is no need to lie to others, and it cannot be deceived."
"You are playing too big a game." Liu Ye said with a headache. The only remaining members of the royal family have not thought of Liu Tong's small treasury, but taking the initiative to expand Liu Tong's small treasury, okay, it is acceptable. , but it’s not your Chen Xi’s method of expansion.
"Don't worry, don't worry. You won't be able to play at His Highness's level." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, even if Chen Xi can eat it from beginning to end without leaving any residue, that's because Chen Xi has a complete set of supporting facilities in the middle and lower reaches. !
