If we had this refined salt, it would be easy to take down the Song family's restaurant.

The food at the Song's was really average, and the prices were high. If there were no other restaurants in the city, no one would be willing to dine at the Song's.

For so long, everyone has been cursing the Song family in secret.

If the Pei family could open a restaurant, not only would the food be delicious but the prices would also be reasonable. I believe everyone in the city would go to the Pei family restaurant.

And by that time, even if the Song family lowered the price to the point of losing money, probably no one would go.

For people from wealthy families, they naturally don't mind the money, and taste is their priority. As for ordinary people, they have long hated the Song family, and few people would go there.

By then, no one would patronize the Song Family Restaurant, but the staff in the restaurant had to be paid, and the rotten food materials had to be thrown away, which was all money. After a long time, they would not be able to hold on.

On their side, on the contrary, they can make a lot of money.

"The production process of this refined salt is more complicated than that of ordinary salt, so the price will be more expensive."

Lin Xiaofan paused, and the Pei family father and son nodded. The production process of this salt is far beyond the ordinary, but I hope that Lin Xiaofan will not ask for too high a price, at least to ensure that the restaurant will continue to use this salt and make a profit.

"Ordinary salt costs 300 coins per pound, so I'll charge you 350 coins for this salt. I'll lower the price in the next two or three years."

Lin Xiaofan said. The production of salt costs almost nothing, only the labor cost. Theoretically speaking, even if he sells it for 50 coins per pound, he can still make a profit.

In the next two or three years, he will sell the salt in large quantities so that ordinary people can also eat it. At that time, the price will be set at 150 coins.

In this way, they can take control of the salt market in one fell swoop and make as much money as today's hunger marketing.

But now, he also wants to use refined salt to make more money for the big family, and also use refined salt to make Zuixianlou bigger and stronger and open more branches.

"My Lord, did you miss a few zeros?"

Pei Sheng's eyes were full of astonishment.

If such a good thing were put up for sale, I'm afraid those big families would fight over it to buy some.

By then, let alone three hundred and fifty coins per catty, I guess there will be people who will buy it even at three hundred and fifty taels of silver per catty.

After all, in Daqian Kingdom, some people have too much money and don't know where to spend it.

According to his original prediction, as long as a pound of salt was within twenty taels of silver, he could accept it. After all, high-end restaurants were a highly profitable industry, and he could totally afford this amount of money.

He had already prepared for Lin Xiaofan to ask for a high price and they were planning to slowly lower the price, but in the end he actually sold it to them for 350 wen per pound?

For a moment, both of them were at a loss.

"Three hundred and fifty coins, that's right, how about I increase the price for you?"

Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"no need."

The Pei family father and son said in unison, their faces full of secret joy.

If they had this salt, the Pei family would be able to take over the entire market within half a month.

"But let me make it clear first. I cannot sell this salt to anyone else. Also, the cook must be a trustworthy person and cannot reveal the secret of the salt to anyone else."

Lin Xiaofan said.

He didn't want the secret of refined salt to be exposed, or no one in Beijing would buy his refined salt in the future.

"Sure, sure!" Pei Xi agreed hastily. He was counting on making money from refined salt. How could such a good thing be leaked out?

After returning to the Pei family, Pei Xi and Pei Sheng felt relaxed.

The two families that were originally difficult to deal with now have become much easier with Lin Xiaofan's support.

The entire Midnight City seemed to be about to fall into their hands.

But Pei Xi soon calmed down. There is still a long way to go, and we can't be careless.

Otherwise, if this matter fails, the Pei family will have difficulty gaining a foothold in Midnight City and will owe two hundred thousand taels of silver.

"Sheng'er, don't be proud and complacent." Pei Xi wanted to say something, but he found that Pei Sheng was calmer than him. Thinking of the two times he visited Lin Xiaofan, Pei Sheng was calmer than him, he immediately felt relieved.

"Dad, no need to say more." Pei Xi bowed, his face no longer showing the previous dandy look, only seriousness.

The Pei family seems to be extremely prosperous, but in fact, in the past few years, the Song family and the Gong family have joined forces to deal with the Pei family in secret, making them very uncomfortable.

Now there is an opportunity to wipe out the two major clans in one fell swoop, and he must do his best.

"Dad, I think the first step is to unite the small families and find some businessmen to help us buy land and houses in the city. We must be cautious in these two steps and cannot make any mistakes. It's best for the two of us to do it."

"When the two families become aware of this, we will start to do it in a big way. We will call all the small families together and let them make it clear whether they want to help the Pei family. At the same time, while the Song family is still not aware of this, we will buy up the raw materials needed for textile production."

"By the time they start preparing, the Song family is already in danger and poses no threat. After we annex the Song family, our power will grow again, and it will be much easier to deal with the Gong family."

Pei Sheng spoke up.

"Okay!" Pei Xi's eyes lit up. His idea was similar, but he didn't expect Pei Sheng to be so specific. It seemed that Pei Sheng's ability was no less than his. If he took over the Pei family in the future, he would definitely be able to make it bigger and stronger.

"Just as you said, you go and lobby the small families that are close to us, and I will secretly look for merchants to help us buy land."

Pei Xi said that there were inevitably spies from the two families in this city. If Pei Xi wandered around, he would inevitably be noticed as being unusual.

Pei Sheng usually liked to wander around the city, going to taverns, teahouses, brothels, or other people's homes to drink and write poetry. He went to three different homes a day, and no one thought there was anything wrong. On the contrary, staying at home would easily arouse others' suspicion.

The Long family of Midnight City is not big, but not small either. It is one of the five major families in the north of Midnight City.

It was already night time, the security in Midnight City was good, and there were no guards at the gate.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door. It was particularly abrupt at night. Several soldiers on night watch heard the knock and came over, shouting:

"who!"

In Daqian, it is forbidden to walk around the city at night. This person is really bold.

"I!"

Pei Sheng's impatient voice sounded, and he casually took out a token. When they saw it was Pei Sheng, they didn't even look at what the token looked like, and said humbly:

"Master Pei, I didn't see it clearly just now, please forgive me."

"go Go."

Pei Sheng waved his hands impatiently.

Not long after, a servant opened the door. He was angry at being woken up in the middle of the night and was about to start cursing. But when he saw that it was Pei Sheng, his anger immediately subsided and he said:

"Master Pei, what do you want from me?"
