When the ice cube melted in their mouths, Zhou Jingxian and Ji Jin were finally convinced.
The ice in front of you is not fake, it is real.
Not only was it real, it was the purest ice they had ever tasted in their lives!
"Mr. Ning, this basin of ice you made can be sold for at least ten taels of silver."
Zhou Jingxian finally believed Ning Wuyan's words.
With this, she would get 200,000 taels per year just from the 10% dividend.
No!
Maybe even more!
Shen Youchu saw his friend's useless look and reminded him: "Jingxian, this basin of ice ballast weighs two or three kilograms. It is the most expensive ice I have ever eaten, weighing ten taels per kilogram. It is specially used for cooking. It is also Not as pure as its taste, I think I would be willing to sell this pot for fifty taels."
That means you are rich!
Everyone unanimously cursed in their hearts.
but.
Ning Wuyan understood. The ice cubes sold by others were stored in winter and sold in summer, so the taste was far different from the ice cubes he made on site.
It seems a bit wasteful to use this kind of pure ice to plant off-season flowers.
This is not difficult either.
Classified pricing.
Ice for daily use and ice for eating are sold separately.
"Ms. Shen, you happen to be very good at food. Why don't you open an ice shop and we produce and sell it ourselves? You can make some fruit wine and ice drinks for restaurants or tea parties and other gatherings. You will make money. Shall I share it equally?"
Ning Wuyan's suggestion suddenly cheered up Shen Youchu, who was secretly stuffing ice into his mouth.
She has no interest in making money.
But she was interested in being able to eat as much ice as she wanted!
Shen Youchu was about to say yes, but he couldn't speak immediately with ice in his mouth.
Instead, Ji Jin took the lead.
"Mr. Ning, my Ji family has a ready-made refreshment and fruit drink shop in Jinling. I also have a restaurant under my name. I also want to take a share in this matter."
Last night, when Ji Jin heard that Ning Wuyan had roped in Youchu and Princess Xian to invest in the business, she became interested.
Ji Mansion was a Qingliu family, and its original properties were not many, and most of them were in Jinling, which was tepid.
Over the years, with the promotion and growth of the clan, a lot of the clan property has been divided, and the income has been decreasing year by year. When she stayed in the old house to host the middle school for her grandmother, she often felt that she could not make ends meet.
therefore.
She bought copybooks and poems and made money by copying or copying them herself.
She is not as rich as Youchu, nor is she as short of money as Princess Xian, but if there is an opportunity to make money, it is an opportunity to make money with Ning Wuhuang, and she wants to... fight for it.
Ning Wuyang didn't expect that a talented woman who seemed to have nothing to do with such mundane things as money actually wanted to experience the fun of making money.
Blah blah blah...
The sound of water sounded.
Ning Wuyan looked at Zhou Jingxian, who was staring at him eagerly, and laughed without holding back.
"Haha... It seems that I can't favor one over the other in this matter. If that's the case, then I might as well join your store as 'Pure Ice' and give me 20% of the shares. The ice money will be included in the cost. How about that?"
Based on the idea that he would provide raw materials and everyone would provide connections, he simply changed to this model.
There are many potentially profitable industries under the Shen family's name.
But the shop where Shen Youchu can make decisions may not be able to fully consume the pure ice he makes.
In addition to food, as a foodie, he naturally hopes that there will be no monopoly on delicious food in the world, and the more varieties, the better.
"If there are suitable franchisees in the future and there is no conflict with your industry, they can also join."
"What do you think?"
Ning Wuhuang was just the one who came up with the idea.
The decision lies in the hands of three people.
Shen Youchu, Ji Jin and Zhou Jingxian exchanged glances.
In the end, Shen Youchu was the first to nod.
"I agree with Mr. Ning's method."
"Youchu agreed, so I have no reason to refuse."
Ji Jin finished.
Zhou Jingxian smiled and nodded.
The three giants in Daxingguo's ice-beverage industry were born.
Mei Xiang, who had picked peaches, was elated when she heard the news.
Great!
From now on, there will be endless amounts of ice cream to eat with the lady.
"Alright, this basin of ice cubes is almost eaten. The remaining Mei Xiang will be eaten with peaches. I will then rearrange the proportions to make a basin of hard ice."
The matter of eating is settled.
Although this is a very profitable business, Ning Wuhuang has not forgotten that his original purpose of making ice is to control the price of the flowers he sells in the greenhouse.
Ice drinks can be eaten at any time. If you can't make ice cubes that Boss Zhao is willing to admit defeat, customers and merchants who pre-order perfume will probably find Zhangjiazhuang knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Since saltpeter is not easy to transport, there is a shaded area beside the pond, so I would rather stay safe than move anywhere.
He chose to use cloth to add a moisturizing layer to the copper basin for extracting ice cubes, and also wrapped cloth around the copper pot lid to increase the sealing.
This way.
The second basin of ice cubes became harder, but there was still a thin layer of well water floating on top of the ice cubes.
"Yunfei, take this basin to aunt and others."
Ning Wuhao asked Ji Jin to record the detailed information of the ratio.
Continue to make the third pot.
finally.
After adding the saltpeter amount and increasing the standing time.
Under the scorching sun.
In the basin three feet in diameter and wide, half of the basin was filled with ice cubes filled with white mist.
Stiff.
Ning Wuyang tapped it lightly with a spoon, leaving only a shallow knock mark.
If you want to break it, you need Xiao Yunfei to hit it hard with an axe.
"Sir, do you want to smash it?"
Yunfei, who had tasted the refreshing taste of summer ice cubes with peach chunks for the first time, swallowed hard at the big piece of ice in front of him.
Ning Wuyang saw Yunfei's thoughts and only warned: "Wrap the ax in a clean cloth. This is something to eat. Don't mess with it too much."
"Yes! Master!"
After getting the order, Yunfei was like a child who got a novel toy. After wrapping the ax with the cook, he started banging it on the ice.
Zhou Jingxian also had some itchy hands.
But she thought that she was planning to open an ice drink shop, and she would have many opportunities to show her shopkeepers how to shave ice, so she forced herself to look away from the ice cubes and look at the saltpeter water in the basin.
"Mr. Ning, what should I do with the saltpeter water?"
"Steaming and boiling can turn it back into saltpeter, which can be reused. Otherwise, if you exchange ten kilograms of saltpeter for several kilograms of ice, the cost would be more expensive than hoarding ice in winter."
When it came to steaming, Ning Wuyou asked Zhou Jingxian: "I want to build thirty sets of stills. Which yamen should I report to?"
The recipe for the wine is Daxing’s secret, and private casting of the distiller is naturally not allowed in principle.
Fortunately, Zhou Jingxian is the manager of the winery, so she can be reasonable.
"Is it for making perfume?" she asked.
Ning Wuyan didn't hide anything from her: "In addition, we also need to refine saltpeter."
"Grandpa Huang said that the Ning Family Perfume Shop can steam its own spirits. I will go back to the city and go to the wine shop to write a piece of paper and send it to you first for special matters."
"Is it troublesome?"
"No trouble, these documents were submitted directly to Grandpa Huang. He read them and knew that you wanted to use them. At most, he would charge you thirty sets of stills in silver at the price cast by the imperial court."
That's really no trouble.
Ning Wuyao thought to himself: Sure enough, there are people above who can do things easily.
"Then thank you, Princess Xian."
"Between you and me, how can we say thank you?"
Zhou Jingxian attached great importance to his request. She didn't even eat the ice drink Shen Youchu brought, so she went back to the city to take care of the still.
Ning Wuyang asked Yunfei to call the Ning family's carriage.
"Let's go by car. It's not a hurry anyway. By the way, Princess Xian, will you come back for dinner tonight?"
Ice making was successful today.
Ning Wuhuang decided to cook and entertain these partners himself.
Zhou Jingxian knew that these words were just asking her if she wanted to eat, but her heart was throbbing for no reason.
Will you come back for dinner tonight?
Once she thought that there was someone here waiting for her return, she felt a ray of constant concern in her heart.
