0173: Create A Meat Supply Chain.
On a cloudy day, outside the imperial capital.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
A four-horse luxury carriage was driving on the road full of potholes, and Qiao Ji was in the carriage.
He was accompanied by Lian Xin, Lei Nai and Wei Ni, and Shi Duo was driving the carriage.
"Fortunately, I took the lord's carriage, otherwise my bones would have been shattered." Lian Xin said without exaggeration.
Qiao Ji shrugged helplessly, "These roads are indeed difficult to walk, if conditions allow, we still need to build roads.
Although the carriage has added shock absorbers, for Qiao Ji who is used to life on Earth, this level of shock absorbers is actually average.
Unless it is that kind of flat avenue, there is still an obvious sense of vibration.
"The lord wants to build roads for the imperial capital in the future?" Lian Xin blinked her orange eyes in disbelief.
"How is it possible, unless the emperor is mine." Qiao Ji narrowed his eyes, not hiding his ambition at all.
"I'm looking forward to it." A strange expression appeared on Lian Xin's soft face.
At this time, she thought that if it was the master, maybe she could really do it.
..." Qiao Ji didn't speak any more, this kind of thing can't be rushed.
"Master, aren't we going to buy meat? What are you doing outside the imperial capital?"
Lian Xin was about to open the window, but she retracted her hand halfway.
She always felt that the smell outside was not very good, but she was much more comfortable in the carriage because she had sprayed a lot of perfume.
The reason why Qiao Ji and others went out of the city was the recent training of more than 2,000 knights, who consumed a lot of meat.
If you buy it in the imperial capital, it will be too expensive, and if you can buy a large amount of meat at once, it will also attract the attention of interested people.
Who knows what tricks those people will come up with, especially the eldest prince and the Haiba family, it's always right to be careful.
"Which place do you think grows the most fertilizer?" Qiao Ji smiled slightly and did not answer 400 positively.
"In the village, some farmers will raise a fat dog in their spare time, or even more.
As soon as Lian Xin finished answering, she immediately came to her senses and asked softly, "Master, are we going to harvest fertilizer in the village?"
"Yes." Qiao Ji chuckled lightly.
There are many small towns and villages around the imperial capital. Due to the proximity to the imperial capital, the population is dense, and the commoners raise a lot of fat and cattle and sheep.
Lian Xin pointed at Xue Ni's chin with her slender index finger, and asked doubtfully, "My lord, will the farmers sell their meat to us?"
Almost most of the farmers would not transport the fertilizer to the imperial capital to sell by themselves. After all, if they were unfamiliar with the place, they would be afraid of being robbed halfway.
They usually wait for second-hand butchers to come to their door, or capable people in the village to transport them out for sale.
"Why not? I plan to offer 20% more than some people's prices, and I still come to collect them.
Qiao Ji tilted his head and asked rhetorically, "Do you think they will not accept it?"
Will definitely sell.
Lian Xin widened her orange eyes slightly in surprise, then thought of something, and said worriedly, "My lord, it won't be of much use if you only buy a few fat ones.
Hu Erniang considered that more than a dozen small restaurants were about to open, not only the more than 2,000 knights who were trained, but the big restaurants in the future would also need a lot of meat.
If a small amount of fat is collected like now, the cost is too high, and it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"........." Qiao Ji just smiled without saying a word.
His visit to the village this time is mainly for inspection. In addition to finding someone to buy meat, he also needs to prepare to build a meat supply chain.
Soon, the crowd came to a village.
The village head had listened to the villagers' report (bacc) long ago, and came to the village entrance to wait for the nobles to enter the village.
Many villages around the imperial capital will do this, if not, who knows what outrageous and outrageous things those nobles will do.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji stepped on the wooden ladder and got out of the carriage. Looking around, there were hundreds of people standing at the entrance of the village, almost all of them were elderly and middle-aged people.
Neither the woman nor the child appeared, and the villagers were afraid that the nobles who came would rob the woman, or take the child to become a maid.
"Master Viscount." The village chief took the lead and bowed to salute.
The gray beard and stooped body represent the age of the village head, and he is a human race.
"Master Viscount." The villagers bowed in unison to salute.
Including the village chief, they were all a little frightened at the moment, no one knew what the nobles came to their village for.
Everyone was praying in their hearts, and only hoped that this nobleman would not be a bloodsucker, or want to do something bad.
Qiao Ji bowed his hands and returned the salute.
Lian Xin, Lei Nai and the others looked at the lord's gesture in amazement, wondering what kind of etiquette it is?
"Grandpa, I want to ask if there is any fertilizer in your village, and what is the quantity?"
Qiao Ji took a look at the gender ratio of the crowd, and he probably knew what it meant.
He could feel that many people's eyes were not friendly, even disgusted.
"Master Viscount, there are only a dozen fat cats in our village." The village head replied in a pale and hoarse voice.
He didn't dare to hide that once the nobles ordered a search, the whole village would be ruined.
"Such a small number?" Qiao Ji was a little surprised.
"I can't help it, Lord Viscount, it's not that we can't afford to support..."
The village head's cloudy eyes were full of helplessness, and he cried out, "It's the ones that can't be sold at a high price even if they are raised."
"Old man, what price do you sell for a catty of fat rice?"
Qiao Ji can probably guess the reason.
It is nothing more than the cost of fattening is too high, and many people don't want to do such a thankless thing.
"Master Viscount, I will sell you nine copper horns per catty." The village chief shook his head helplessly.
......" Qiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing in his heart that the dealers collectively lowered the price.
Because a catty of meat in the imperial capital can be sold for at least one copper coin and five copper horns.
"Village Chief, I bought all the fertilizers you raised. The purchase price is one copper coin and two copper corners per catty."
Qiao Ji thought for a while before making a decision, "I'll send someone to deliver it to your door, so you don't have to worry about the delivery problem."
"Master Viscount, is what you said true?" The village chief's eyes, which were originally slightly squinted, now widened.
He didn't expect the young nobleman in front of him to be so talkative, and his restless heart immediately settled down.
As long as these nobles don't come to burn, kill and loot, this village can't stand the patronage of the nobles round after round.
"Don't worry, old man, we can make a contract, and you can rest assured to raise the fat in the future, and I also want cattle and sheep.
Qiao Ji nodded patiently, and said gently, "The purchase price of cattle and sheep will not be lower than those offered by butchers."
The reason he did this was to sign a contract with many villagers, so that they could grow fat with peace of mind and obtain a stable meat supply chain in the future.
Moreover, he plans to buy mushrooms, vegetables, etc. in the future, which are also the ingredients that restaurants will need in the future.
God, I didn't expect to be able to do this, which is equivalent to ordering future goods in advance, so that you don't have to worry about not being able to buy meat.
Lian Xin's charming face was full of surprise.
"It's really great." The village head was so excited that his hand on crutches kept shaking.
"Lei Nai, share the contract with them." Qiao Ji turned his head and ordered.
Lei Nai handed out the parchment that had been prepared a long time ago, and shouted, "You all read the contents of the contract carefully, and sign after reading."
The Black Cat Girl taught her these words by Qiao Ji, in order to let the villagers know clearly that this contract is fair.
"Great, great, we finally met a good nobleman."
"He's handsome, but I didn't expect him to be nice. We don't have to worry about the meat not being sold at a good price."
"I'm going to buy some fat cubs in the afternoon, and I'm going to raise two this time."
"..."
All the villagers showed smiles, thinking that they would no longer be pitted by those butchers for lowering the price.
They knew that the prices offered by the butchers were low, but they were also very helpless. If they transported them to the imperial capital for sale by themselves, there would be many risks.
It is a relatively optimistic situation when the meat is robbed. If you encounter some vicious people and kill them directly, this is the saddest thing.
While the villagers were excited, they also signed the contract, and finally put it together and handed it to the black cat girl.
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces and the pile of parchment contracts that were signed, Qiao Ji knew that the meat supply chain was settled.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
The group went to several villages one after another, and made contracts with many villagers.
"Haha...preliminarily done."
Qiao Ji returned to the carriage with a hearty smile, and said cheerfully, "In this way, you won't have to worry about being stuck in the neck in the future."
"My lord, why didn't I think of this, if the business of our restaurant gets better and better..."
Lian Xin didn't dare to think about it, and said with a cold face, "Those jealous people will definitely tamper with our purchase channels."
Especially once some butcher shops belong to some big nobles, they will take advantage of this to raise prices, and even refuse to sell to Qi Du's restaurants.
No matter which point it is, it will be a fatal blow to the big restaurants in the future.
"Not only that, the point is that we can secretly train more knights in the future." Qiao Ji was in a very comfortable mood at the moment.
Eating a lot of meat to cultivate knights is the most important thing. You can't become stronger without eating meat.
"I understand." Lian Xin covered her mouth and smiled faintly.
Hu Erniang thought of the knight training in Baihua Manor. Having meat will make her body stronger, which also means that she can recruit more poor people.
As long as you can give the poor enough to eat and drink, and give them an upward channel, they will be loyal to you.
