Chapter 35 Salt Crystal
Jiayi hurriedly returned home with half a piece of black and white bread in his hand. He said too much to Yao Lao and the meal was not good. Jiayi usually ate with Yao Lao. If he didn't deliver the food to Yao Lao, he would not be at ease if he stood by and watched him eat.
When he saw his parents, Jiayi said to them. Gary thought this was a good way and couldn't help but calculate the cost and how much should bread be sold. But Erica had concerns and couldn't help asking Jiayi: "Jiayi, Yao Lao said that it's easy for others to learn this. If others learn it, will they still come to buy what we made?"
When Jia heard this, he said to his mother: "It's okay, mom, it takes a lot of time for others to learn, and it takes time for them to learn to make them well. Moreover, there are tricks to find good bread. Our bread must be better than others."
"Let's make some to go upstairs and sell them to the town. This bread is so delicious, it's impossible to sell it." Gary made up his mind and decided to go to the town to sell bread.
In the next few days, Jiayi kept teaching Erica how to make bread, leaving old noodles as the source of yeast for the next time to make bread. At the same time, she also tried the ratio of various bread recipes and the fermentation time.
These days, I have been eating bread, white bread, and black bread, which are all the products of Erica learning to make bread. Because there is no milk, no sugar or eggs, the taste of the bread is like this. When I first ate it, I felt delicious, but it became a little boring after a long time. Of course, Jiayi himself thought that others thought it was a rare delicacy.
In fact, eggs can still be obtained. There are a few chickens at home, and all the eggs laid are stored. However, the bread has not been tested by the market, and the cost of adding eggs is too high. Let’s wait until you make money.
This bread tastes similar to the baked steamed buns at the barbecue stall, but it is a bit drier. However, they are milky steamed buns, and they are the original steamed buns. Jia Yiben found a way to make some buns, meat, cabbage, bean paste buns, but he was afraid of trouble and lacked ingredients, so he didn't continue. He would wait until he made money and do whatever he wanted.
The dawn of making money has appeared and is waiting to be realized. On this day, Erica and Jiayi made more than 30 breads in total, one-third were black bread, and the rest were white bread. The white bread tasted better, and for a new product, it gave people a stronger sense of shock and should be more popular.
One pound of flour made about six breads, each slightly smaller than pineapple and fermented more fully. Although it looks quite small, it is not heavy. They think each white bread is priced at 8 copper and 4 black bread, which is much more expensive than the ones on the market. Old and ordinary bread of the same size is only about half the price, and it is only the same size, not the same weight.
If you eat occasionally, most people can afford it. If you eat it every day, it will not be something that ordinary people can afford. Just sell 30 pieces a day, and according to the ratio of 2 to 1 black and white bread, you will have an income of about 200 copper coins. If you take the cost out, you will have a gross profit of at least one and a half silver cents, 4 and a half silver coins a month, and at least 5 gold coins a year. Of course, it is much smaller than other businesses, but it is much better than ordinary people.
Of course, he only calculates the material cost, and does not calculate the labor and other things. If he works overtime, he has to light the lights and fuel costs.
On Earth, it may just be just out of food and clothing, and in this world, I have at least achieved a well-off life. And this is just selling 30 bread every day, selling more and making more money. But the market in the town is so big after all, and if there are no foreign merchants, the sales volume is probably limited, especially if everyone else learns it later, they can only reduce the price.
After preparing the bread that he wanted to sell the next day, Jiayi took dinner to Yao's hometown and delivered food to Yao Lao. He said he would go to the market to sell bread tomorrow. At the same time, he asked Yao Lao if he wanted to go with him. Although it was not long since he came back from the market last time.
Jiayi found Yao Lao and said to him: "Teacher, we are ready to sell bread. We will go to the town tomorrow. Teacher, do you want to go together?"
After hearing this, Yao Lao thought about it and refused: "Forget it, I won't go. If you go to sell bread, you can go to the tavern to sell it. He told the tavern owner that you are my student. Last time he went to his place for dinner, he might know you. If you have any questions, go find Maca. He is the only medicinal material merchant in the town, and everyone will usually give him face."
"Teacher, I understand. I won't have dinner with you today. I'll go home to eat to see if the preparations are still sufficient."
"Okay, you go back first." Yao Lao waved his hand and said to Jiayi. Then suddenly remembered something and called Jiayi: "Wait, Jiayi, the salt you made last time was dry in the yard, it's almost dry. You go and take a look."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I have been busy making bread recently." Jia remembered when he heard Lao Yao's words. He turned out that he had made salt and prepared to sell it for money. After the bread came out, he was busy making bread, and it was all left behind.
"Yes, you've been making bread and haven't even attended classes for several days."
"Teacher, I know. I taught my mother how to make bread. After I came back from the market, I would study hard and teach my mother how to make bread." As soon as Jia heard the dissatisfaction in Yao's old sayings, he quickly said to him.
Lao Yao didn't say anything after hearing this and waved his hand.
When Jiayi came to the yard, he saw that the basin where he made salt crystals was already a thin layer of water. The weather was still very strong. In almost 7 days, a basin of water evaporated.
I saw a large piece of salt in the basin, with many crystal structures like rock sugar mixed in it. He brought a clean basin and took out all the salt crystals inside. It was almost two pounds and 800g. According to the last salt merchant, it was almost worth two silver slots.
Even if it is sold to a salt merchant for a lower price, this is much purer than the snow salt of a salt merchant.
He brought the salt crystals he had taken out to Yao Lao and said, "Teacher, look at this." As he said that, he brought the basin to Yao Lao.
When Lao Yao saw that the salt was completely different from what he usually saw. It was crystal clear and there were several pieces of salt crystals in the middle as the size of a child's fist. He took a piece of salt the size of a rock sugar and added it, and it was indeed salt.
Jiayi took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher, if I said this was picked from a cave in the mountains, would others believe it?"
Yao Lao held the salt crystal and pondered for a while, saying, "This is really similar. It is really a thing that can be said to be natural salt. Some people have collected salt in caves before, but the amount is not large, which is very similar to this one. This kind of salt is different from the salt mines outside. It is not poisonous and can be sold. It is difficult for others to think that it was made by themselves."
Seeing Jiayi's excited look, Yao Lao hit again: "But if you sell more, whether others think you have found a cave containing a lot of non-toxic salt, or doubt that you have any way to make pure salt, it will cause trouble, and you are almost powerless to stop it."
"You have to learn to be cautious, Jiayi!"
Jia thought about it and said that it was true. Now he could sell bread. Although he could not be rich, he could still maintain a well-off life. He would think of other ways to make money later. After all, he was still young, so there was no need to hurry up. Otherwise, he would not get a ball of undeveloped food.
