Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 78 The Forgotten Night Pearl

It was rare to see Zheng Kezang, and Ma Hetai immediately invited him to his house as a guest.

The kindness is hard to turn down, and Zheng Kezang did not refuse. It just so happened that he had an idea that Ma Hetai needed to realize.

When they arrived at Ma Mansion, the first thing Ma Hetai did was to entertain guests with the fruit wine from his workshop.

Although it is not as good as Dongning's fine wine, the fruit wine has a special taste.

Naturally, between the toasts and chips, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

The guards have strict military discipline, and there are few opportunities to drink, and Zheng Kezang has to lead by example, so he hasn't drunk for a long time, so let's indulge for a while today.

The reason why Ma Hetai's fruit wine tastes good is because the fruit quality in Luzon is better.

"It's a bit of a waste to use such a fruit to make wine." Zheng Kezang said, looking at the wine glass in his hand.

"Your Highness, if these fruits are not used for wine making, they will soon rot in the ground, because there are too many fruits in Luzon Island!" Ma Hetai thinks this is a good choice.

"Actually, I have an idea for fruit. I don't know if you are interested in it, old horse?" Zheng Kezang said.

Interestingly, everyone looked at Zheng Kezang with curiosity.

Even Wang Yang asked bluntly: "His Royal Highness, if you have any other methods, please tell me, but don't let everyone's appetites go unnoticed."

Zheng Kezang looked at the eyes of everyone seeking knowledge, and felt that he could share with them the wealth he had learned from later generations.

So let them buy a lot of mangoes and sugar cane, and then start working in the fruit wine workshop in Mahetai.

Zheng Kezang directed the crowd to take out the mango pulp with a knife, put it together, and hammer it into a sauce.

Then put some water, then mix these jams with sugarcane water, and simmer slowly over a low heat.

Not long after, a heart-piercing fragrance came out of the fruit wine workshop.

Everyone was drooling when they smelled it. At first, they thought the sauce was a little disgusting, but after Zheng Kezang simmered it slowly, the fragrance was released through high temperature, especially when mixed with sugarcane water, it was even sweeter. .

"Okay." Zheng Kezang announced that the mango jam was ready.

Zheng Kezang opened the lid of the pot, and everyone saw that the orange-yellow pot was really pretty.

The color, fragrance and taste are complete. After getting Zheng Kezang's consent, Wang Yang quickly scraped a layer on it with a spoon, and then stuffed it into his mouth to taste it carefully.

"Your Highness, it's so delicious. I prefer mango sauce to fruit wine!" Wang Yang subconsciously praised.

After that, all the foodies came forward to taste it together, and soon they all praised it.

Wang Yang couldn't help but wanted to take another bite, but Zheng Kezang stared at him a few times in the end, so he could only take his hand back, and kept savoring the taste on the spoon.

Zheng Kezang put the jam into a jar, "This kind of jam can be stored for a long time, as long as it is well sealed, a month is not a problem."

After hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise.

"If they are all made into jam, wouldn't these Luzon fruits not go to waste, and they could even be sold to Tianzhu." As expected of a businessman, he has a business eye.

In the [-]th century, the fruit industry was not popular. In order to fill their stomachs, rice and corn were planted in many farmlands, all of which were food crops. Few people planted foods that satisfy the appetite such as fruits.

Things like jam can only be enjoyed by rich people.

But Luzon is different, there are fruits everywhere.

If the fruit lasts for a long time, it is a good deal.

Zheng Kezang smiled and replied: "Old Ma, it seems that you are very business-minded. It's a small business of jam. Would you like us to cooperate?"

"Of course, my lord!" Ma Hetai agreed.

Seeing his appearance, Zheng Kezang asked a price directly: "I want [-]% of the profit."

Ma Hetai felt that Zheng Kezang had the final say in the whole of Luzon now, and it would not be a loss to give him [-]% of the profit. He would be an imperial merchant in the future, and he was willing to give [-]% of the profit.

Of course, Zheng Kezang thought it was a small business, there was no need to charge too much, it was just for fun!
Ma and Tai quickly agreed.

In addition to jam, Zheng Kezang also suggested that he could get some dried fruit pulp for sale.

Afterwards, Zheng Kezang discussed with Ma Hetai and decided to set up a fruit processing workshop called "Luzon Shop".

As for the sales channels in the market, Ma Hetai is responsible for it himself.

After finishing the dried fruit, Zheng Kezang and others continued to attend the banquet in Mafu.

"By the way, old horse, do you have any advice on the Daqing side?" Zheng Kezang asked after receiving the fruit wine poured by the native maid, thinking of something else.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Tartars defended the coast very well, but I have a lot of ways to sell things into the Qing Dynasty." Ma Hetai said proudly with a slightly drunken face.

Ma Hetai, a small and big maritime merchant, had to do business with merchants from the Qing Dynasty.

"What method, I didn't expect you to have great supernatural powers, so let's talk about it." Zheng Kezang asked curiously.

"The Tartar emperor wanted to seal off the sea area completely, but he couldn't hold back the greedy local officials and big businessmen below."

"If you want the silk and tea from Daqing, you should bring enough money to trade secretly on the sea. Although the price is more expensive than before, you can make a lot of money by selling it to those Western Yi." Ma Hetai said the trading method .

Trade directly on board, dude.

Of course, this way of trading is risky. They usually only trade with acquaintances, and they are afraid of being hacked if they don't believe it.

It turns out that it is worthy of being a smart Chinese.

"Then do you have such connections?" Zheng Kezang asked.

"Your Highness, I don't have it, but someone I know does." Ma Hetai said confidently.

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that there is a fine wine called Tibetan Immortal in Dongning Mansion." Ma Hetai also had a purpose in hosting Zheng Kezang today.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zheng Kezang asked.

"Your Highness, it's like this, as long as you give me the right to sell it, I can sell it to Daqing and overseas for you, and you can earn a lot of money." Ma Hetai flattered.

It turned out that this is the case, the fruit wine merchant has his eye on the wine business.

"Old Ma, you can, but you have to help me with something, otherwise, I won't sell you Tibetan Immortal Wine." Zheng Kezang said with a smile.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, the old horse will make a move, and you will be satisfied!"

"How about this, can you find a few Luzon natives, pretend to be a tribute group, and present a big gift to Emperor Kangxi?" Zheng Kezang continued to ask.

Ah, Ma Hetai was a little scared: "Your Highness, if it is a gift like Dongning Shenlei, a villain can't do it!"

"What are you thinking? It's a real gift, not for you to be Jing Ke." Zheng Kezang gave him a blank look.

It turned out that Zheng Kezang also had a system-specific super-powerful radiation: the night pearl.

It was only after the battle that he remembered that he hadn't left it to Kang Mazi.

The Qing Dynasty inherited the tributary system of the Ming Dynasty, and it happened to take advantage of the tributary system this time.

"It's just to give Kang Mazi a night pearl, and you can just listen to my arrangement when the time comes." Zheng Kezang said without doubt.

"This villain is guaranteed to be completed." Ye Mingzhu is a good gift, Ma Hetai came back to life.

Ma Hetai, an old businessman, understands the value of the Ye Mingzhu. If he is allowed to see the Ye Mingzhu of the system, he probably wants to covet it himself. Of course, Zheng Kezang will not give him this opportunity.
