Chapter 106 Hua Family Workshop Area

"Don't mind, brother Hua. I'm just curious. This high-quality elixir can probably only be made by Master Wei, but Master Wei is hard to find in Korea. The Sihai Chamber of Commerce can offer 220 gold for this [Rejuvenation Pill]. What do you think, brother Hua?" Liu Pingli said.

Master Wei is the only known alchemist in the world today. Because of his existence, Korea has become the fourth largest country in the continent with a land area of ​​80,000 square kilometers. Master Wei has been in the foundation-building stage for more than 400 years, and now he rarely makes pills.

"I have 46 [Rejuvenation Pills] here, and this is [Peeling Yuan Pill], this is [Small Return Pill]..." Hua Kai left only the pills needed by the Hua family in the short term except for the remaining two [Breaking Barrier Pills]. The rest, including 11 precious pills, were all placed in front of Liu Pingli.

"These... these pills are worth more than 150,000 gold. Do you really want to give all of them to me?" Liu Pingli looked at the many pills on the table. He knew that the quality of the pills was not low just by looking at the color. After checking them one by one, he sensed the medicinal properties of each pill and gave a more reasonable price in his mind.

"You can take one of each of these pills. It should be able to convince the top management of your Chamber of Commerce. The Hua family is willing to be a long-term ally with the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. This is what I mean. Everything depends on how your Chamber of Commerce decides. By the way, if your Chamber of Commerce needs to refine any pills, the Hua family is willing to be the middleman. You prepare the medicinal materials yourself and help you refine the pills you need."

This is the main reason why Hua Kai did this. The Hua family has no time to wait now. Only by turning all the resources in their hands into strength can they gain a firm foothold in this world.

As for whether the Sihai Chamber of Commerce would agree to cooperate with the Hua family, Hua Kai was not worried at all. With so many pills, there might be a powerful alchemist behind the Hua family. Although the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is powerful, they will not easily provoke an alchemist. After all, they will gain greater benefits by cooperating with the Hua family.

"I understand what Brother Hua means. I will return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters overnight. I believe there will be news soon. If it goes smoothly from here to Chu State, it will take at most 8 days. I will be able to deliver all the medicinal materials needed by the Hua family within 20 days. As for the spiritual medicine, our Chamber of Commerce will try its best to collect it." Liu Pingli said and left with some pills.

Hua Kai didn't care about these. He got up the next morning and upgraded a horse to a BMW, and then went back to his room to rest. Yu Jun told Hua Kai that all the merchant ships of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce disappeared this morning.

After lunch, Hua Kai went to the market again and saw that the salt merchants had arrived in the market. He asked about the price of salt, which was a little more expensive than last year.

Hua Kai now only had more than ten gold coins left on him. He regretted not asking Liu Pingli to leave some money so that he could buy some coarse salt and put it in the [Baoguang Glazed Bottle].

In this way, the Buqi Market became more and more lively day by day. The caravans of Han Family and Jia Family in Guang County gradually came to the market to sell their gains from the grassland. In addition to upgrading the horses every day, Hua Kai also learned about the entire Buqi Market with other caravan members. On October 29th, Hua Zichen finally returned with the Hua family and the carriage.

Hua Kai brought all the horses to the horse market. On this day, the number of people in the horse market began to increase. The Hua family sold 7 horses and finally had more than 200 gold coins in their hands. Hua Kai asked his fifth uncle to go to the market to buy coarse salt. 100 gold coins bought 5,000 stones of coarse salt. They bought a small half of the coarse salt in the entire market. The Hua family began to fill the coarse salt in the [Baoguang Glazed Bottle] at the station.

On November 3rd, the wind began to blow in the Buqi Market. Although the wind was not very strong, it also affected the transactions between the caravans.

The Hua family purchased some things from the market every day, and their 30 carriages were full again that day.

Hua Kai left some tea leaves and some white sugar, and loaded them on the carriages. They planned to go home today. These brick teas could not be put into the [Baoguang Glass Bottle]. Hua Kai filled more than half of the portable space and followed the team back to Guangxian City.

Because there were not many things on the carriages, the team returned to Huajiabao in two days. Hua Kai put all the coarse salt into the coarse salt purification workshop, and put thousands of stones of grain into the wine workshop. Because of the return of the team, the commercial street of the entire Huajiabao began to be enriched with various commodities.

Liu Pingli should be able to return in half a month. However, there are only more than 60 people in the Hua family in the market recently, who are guarding the station every day. Hua Kai plans to stay at home for a few days before going there.

By now, the expansion of the entire Huajiabao has been completed for more than half, and the expanded Huajiabao has become more and more prosperous. Hua Kai checked the family control panel and found that the family's business, agriculture, and prosperity have been greatly improved. Now the comprehensive strength of Huajiabao has reached 1285 points.

As for whether the main task three can be completed this year, Hua Kai puts all his hopes on the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. As long as the Hua family becomes a ninth-grade family, Hua Kai believes that the family's strength can be quickly improved.

The Hua family workshop area is a confidential area of ​​the Hua family, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. After more than a month of construction, the Hua family workshop has been completed.

The first yard after entering the workshop area is the area for boiling animal bones. Hua Kai came in and saw more than 30 people boiling three large vats. The animal bones in the vats were boiling. Now it is not time to produce gold and silver. Hua Kai looked and left.

The yard for boiling animal bones used to be the Hua family's weapons workshop. This year, the Hua family weapons workshop has more than a dozen apprentices. Because the wood purchased is more than three times more than last year, the entire weapons workshop seems very lively. Now Hua Kai has implemented a reward system in the weapons workshop. The more weapons are made and the better the quality, the more bonuses can be obtained every month.

After the weapon workshop is the carriage workshop, which mainly studies how to make the four-wheel triple shock-absorbing carriage that Hua Kai mentioned. This involves the combination of multiple quality woods. It will take some time to make the carriage in Hua Kai's mind.

After the carriage workshop is the coarse salt purification workshop, the entry and exit here are very strict. The workshop has more than 30 yards. Half of the workers here are slaves who came back from the grassland. When Hua Kai sent the coarse salt, they began to purify the coarse salt under the guidance of the old villagers. Compared with the days in the grassland before, here they are well fed and warmly dressed, and the key is that there is also wages to be paid, so everyone works very actively.

Came to the last large yard in the workshop area, which is the new winemaking workshop of the Hua family.

This year, Hua Kai went to the grassland to see the profit of fine wine, and it is impossible for him not to have any ideas. It happened that he had the [Baoguang Glass Bottle], and Hua Kai arranged for people to start brewing as soon as he returned home.

The Hua family has a winemaker who was taught by Hua Kai himself. The winemaking workshop has started brewing secretly a few days ago. Now, hundreds of jars have been put into the cellar with koji and yeast. After a week of fermentation, the wine can be almost out of the cellar.

Looking at the busy people in the winemaking workshop, Hua Kai found the person in charge here, who is a master of the Hua family who knows how to brew wine. Hua Kai expressed his ideas.

"Grandpa Ze, I have a method to purify fine wine. After purification, the wine will taste much stronger than it is now. The purification method and process are here. You come down and let someone study it carefully. I have already told the carriage workshop, you can let them do whatever they need. In addition, I have some [Spiritual Liquid] here, which is best for brewing wine. We can try it first." Hua Kai said to the person in charge of brewing, took out a sheepskin, and told him some key points of distillation.

The last yard after the winemaking workshop is the new papermaking workshop of the Hua family. Hua Kai entered and saw that the fire in the workshop was burning vigorously. Some newly produced paper was drying on the rack beside. Hua Kai walked over and poked it lightly with his finger, and the paper broke into pieces, which was completely unusable for writing.

"Have you figured out why this paper is so soft?" Hua Kai called a few managers to ask.

"Master, this paper pulp was broken into pieces according to your instructions, and it became so soft after entering the filter frame to dry. We tried the pulp concentration many times, and no matter how thick the paper was, it became so brittle and soft after drying, and it was completely unusable for writing."

"Is the drying temperature too high? Have you tried drying it in the shade?" Hua Kai asked.

"I have tried it. It is not so brittle when drying in the shade, but the hardness is completely unacceptable." A person in charge said.

"Last time I told you to add some rags, have you tried it?"

"I tried it, this is the manufactured paper, it is hard enough but the surface is not smooth, there is a black spot when writing." A person in charge took out a piece of paper that looked good and said.

"That is the problem of modulation, you can try cross modulation, press the coarse cloth pulp and thin ordinary paper together and then dry them, so that you can write on the smooth side..."

After staying in the workshop for a whole day, Hua Kai had a smile on his face when he left. The six workshops of the Hua family have more than 300 workers alone, and they will become the foundation for the Hua family to survive in this world in the future. Although many things can only be done quietly now, as long as these things are produced and brought to the grassland, the actual profit will not be reduced at all.

In the next few days, Hua Kai asked the papermaking workshop to experiment several times. After hundreds of times of modulation, the papermaking workshop finally produced paper that Hua Kai was satisfied with. This paper was thicker and harder than the paper Hua Kai had seen in his previous life, but there was no problem in using it to write books. Hua Kai began to let the workshop increase the speed of papermaking.

A sheepskin costs at least 60 bone coins, and paper is lighter than sheepskin and easier to store. The Hua family papermaking workshop can produce thousands of sheets of paper a day, so the profit is at least thousands of gold a month.

Hua Kai told his grandfather and his third uncle about the Hua family's papermaking. Everyone was very excited. His second uncle Hua Ziqi even wanted to sell the paper to Linzi City, so that the Hua family would be famous in Qi because of the paper.

However, Hua Kai denied everyone's point of view. If this paper is used for profit, then Hua Kai is likely to be targeted or even attacked by the families, but if the money is not mentioned, perhaps the Hua family can get greater benefits.
