Chapter 19 Lao Zhu just wants to eat grilled fish, no, he wants to kill corrupt officials "Wow! This tastes amazing!"
"Ahh! It's so spicy! Give me a glass of water!"
"Although it was so spicy that I shed tears, it was inexplicably delicious!"
Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and Queen Ma all sighed after tasting the grilled fish.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was holding white rice in one hand and fish in the other, silently cooking and eating deliciously.
Not long after, a large plate of grilled fish was wiped out.
If Ouyang Lun hadn't stopped him, Zhu Yuanzhang could have finished all the condiments.
Seeing the butler Lao Shui take away the iron plate, Zhu Yuanzhang was very reluctant to part with it, "It's still edible, wouldn't it be a waste?"
Ouyang Lun didn't bother to explain any more and waved his hand, "We've finished our meal. It's time to discuss business."
"Do you have any projects you want to invest in?"
Zhu Di immediately raised his hand, "Can we do stock business?"
"Stocks? You can just go to the stock exchange directly. Why come to me?" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes.
Zhu Biao explained: "What my fourth brother means is whether our Ma family caravan can be listed on the market like the 'Lucky Gambling House'!"
Ouyang Lun was a little surprised, "You have quite an idea, but it's not easy to get listed on the stock exchange. You guys, the Ma Family Caravan, probably don't have the strength yet."
"What are the conditions required to be listed on the stock exchange?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.
Ouyang Lun raised three fingers and said calmly: "If you want to be listed on the stock exchange, you must meet three conditions. The first condition is that the caravan needs to have a clear industry and business, such as construction, gambling, beverages, etc. The second condition is that the caravan’s assets reach 10 taels of silver.”
"What about the third condition?" Zhu Di asked.
"The third condition is that it must be approved by the Stock Exchange Listing Committee." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Listing Committee? What kind of organization is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The listing committee is specifically responsible for the listing of caravans. Its members are all the bosses of the listed chamber of commerce. If a caravan wants to be listed, it must be approved by half of the committee members. Of course, the chairman of the listing committee has one vote to agree and veto. As long as With the approval of the president, we can successfully go public," Ouyang Lun explained.
"Then who is the chairman of the listing committee?"
"That's right." Ouyang Lun smiled slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di: "."
Zhu Biao analyzed it carefully, "So, if Ma's Caravan wants to go public, it must first choose an industry, then operate it to [-], and finally obtain the consent of the listing committee, and then it can be successfully listed?"
"That's pretty much it." Ouyang Lun nodded.
"Don't you think you've thought about what to do at all?"
Facing Ouyang Lun's questioning look, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di lowered their heads in embarrassment, except for Zhu Yuanzhang who raised his head with shame.
"Forget it, you paid an entry fee of 1000 taels after all, which is enough to show your financial resources and sincerity. Since you can't think of a good project, I do have a good project here. As long as it is completed, it can run to [-] yuan." It’s still very easy to scale, I wonder if you are willing?”
Ouyang Lun thought for a while and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to eat grilled fish, not to kill corrupt officials!He doesn't want to do business, he is the emperor.
However, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and Queen Ma were very interested.
"Lord County Magistrate, I don't know what the project you are talking about is? Can you tell me more specifically? After all, doing business requires investment of real money. We are here to make money, not to lose money." Zhu Biao said with a cupped hand. .
"You are more of a businessman than your father." Ouyang Lun nodded, "In fact, you have just tasted this project." "Could it be that you want us to open a grilled fish restaurant?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. Although grilled fish is delicious, it has a lot to do with craftsmanship. Opening a grilled fish restaurant is similar to opening a restaurant. How long does it take to earn 10 taels!
This is totally unrealistic.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. He thought he could give this a try. Making money was the second priority. If he opened his own grilled fish restaurant, he would be able to eat grilled fish every day from now on.
Ouyang Lun shook his head, "How much money can you make selling grilled fish? I want you to sell chili peppers!"
chili? ! Zhu Yuanzhang and his family were stunned.
"That's the one Uncle Ma wanted to eat all just now. To tell you the truth, the reason why the grilled fish is delicious depends entirely on these peppers. Think about it, will adding these peppers to the meal improve the taste of the meal? There are so many people in the world who want to eat. In theory, there is a demand for peppers. There is no need to worry about sales. In the future, these peppers will become a more high-end condiment than pepper. If you are willing, I am willing to hand over the peppers to your Ma family caravan. Exclusive agent, you transport it back to Nanjing and sell it to those dignitaries, I don’t know how much you will make!”
Ouyang Lun said slowly.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's family's eyes lit up.
"chili!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's surprised look, Ouyang Lun waved his hand and said, "Old Shui, let someone bring some chili peppers."
"Yes, sir!"
soon.
Servants came up with trays of things.
The first plate looked very fresh, with long red strips.
The second plate looked shriveled and still had long red strips.
The third plate is red powder.
Seeing these three kinds, Zhu Yuanzhang and his family all gathered together to take a closer look and study.
"Is this the chili pepper that gives grilled fish a flavor?"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a fresh chili and touched it. He liked it very much and said, "This is really good stuff!"
Queen Ma picked up the shriveled chili pepper and said, "Just standing here, you can smell the fragrance, and it's a bit spicy."
Aqiu——
Zhu Di held the red powder, sniffed it, and sneezed!
Zhu Biao said excitedly: "If you add chili pepper to the food, it will definitely make the food more flavorful and give you an ultimate taste experience. Those princes, nobles and rich people will definitely like it!"
Ouyang Lun looked at the excitement of Zhu Yuanzhang's family with a calm face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You have also tasted the taste of this pepper. It is used in grilled fish, barbecue, and noodles. It is completely injecting soul."
"This first plate contains fresh chili peppers. If you add some when cooking, even ordinary meals will be full of flavor and spiciness. However, it is not easy to preserve, so you need to pay special attention to this."
"This second plate contains dried chili peppers, which are most suitable for grilled fish and stir-fry dishes, and the dried chili peppers can be stored for a long time."
"The third dish is to grind the dried chilies into powder. It is the real finished product. You only need to put half a spoon in the dishes and noodles to make it taste more delicious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the chili peppers in front of him, his eyes shining, "Good stuff, good stuff!"
As a frugal emperor, he rarely eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, but if he eats too many ordinary dishes, he feels they are tasteless. This chili is the perfect solution to this problem.
