The Pretty Man I Picked Up [Time Travel]

Chapter 84 Business (2)

Xu Haorui shook his head, "Yeah, it's used to roast sweet potatoes."

He spread a layer of black charcoal at the bottom of the barrel, and then placed a layer of red charcoal on top of the black charcoal. A circle of sweet potatoes was placed on the iron net inside the barrel.

The man's hand is slightly larger than the brother's hand. Thirteen sweet potatoes as big as the brother's palm can be placed on a layer of iron mesh. Finally, the lid is closed and the small opening at the bottom is opened.

After completing this, I explained to him, "The small door below has two functions. One is for adding black charcoal, and the other is to circulate air inside and outside the barrel to burn the charcoal.

If the sweet potatoes are roasted, no charcoal fire is needed. Just close the small door and wait for a few breaths, and the red charcoal will go out by itself. There is no need to douse it with water. "

Liang Jinming felt novel and walked around the barrel, "So, the deal you want to talk about is to use this barrel to roast sweet potatoes?"

"Well, let's see if you want to do it. Anyway, I have a lot of sweet potatoes here. Sweet potatoes have not been promoted in the village yet. You are the only one selling them in the town. Next spring, maybe not only our village will promote their cultivation."

"I know." Liang Jinming stroked his chin and thought, "Haorui, please tell me your plan first."

"Okay, come in and sit and talk."

"By the way, how long do you need to bake sweet potatoes?"

"It takes about two-quarters of an hour to four-quarters of an hour to bake, depending on the size of the sweet potato. You will gain experience after cooking it for a long time."

Xu Haorui asked him to sit at the table first. He went back to the room and took out a pen and paper. Lin Qingjiu came out with him. Lin Qingjiu said hello to Liang Jinming before taking the goat's milk bowl in his hand to the kitchen for cleaning.

"Where's my nephew?" Liang Jinming looked at Xu Haorui, who was spreading paper on the table.

"Sleeping. When you came, Li Zai was drinking goat's milk. Brother Qing coaxed him to sleep before he came out." So during such a long period of time, Ren Wa'er went to bed early.

After Xu Haorui completed the preparations on his hands.

"The rice grain store charges 5 cents per pound. If the sweet potatoes are the same price, a wooden barrel as big as outside costs 450 cents, plus the concentric iron mesh costs 150 cents. I asked about the price of 5 cents for a pound of black charcoal. The weather is now It's not cold, so the first roast only requires 1.5 pounds of charcoal.

The second roasting requires only 1 pound of charcoal, and the rest are similar. Only when the barrel is cold for the first time, more charcoal needs to be burned. "

The iron mesh is actually a three-finger-wide iron ring with a piece of iron wire wrapped around the middle. It doesn't use much iron, so it's not very expensive.

Xu Haorui listed the cost details on the paper one by one, "39 sweet potatoes can be roasted at one time. Each sweet potato is about half a catty, which requires 97.5 Wen, and charcoal requires 7.5 Wen. The total cost is 105 Wen."

Well, then the big sweet potatoes will be roasted by Liang Jinming.

"If you sell a sweet potato for 10 cents, you can earn 390 cents if you sell 39 sweet potatoes. Excluding the cost of sweet potatoes and charcoal, the net profit is 285 cents.

Everyone is curious. You will not only sell 39 sweet potatoes in a day. Based on the traffic on the street, I conservatively estimate that you can sell 156 sweet potatoes in a day. You can earn at least 1147.5 yuan. Without the money spent on making buckets, you can sell 156 sweet potatoes in a day. Earn 547, 5 cents.
