Traveling through ancient times.

Everyone felt that they had been fooled by this servant.

Who cares how productive you are? Selling this poisonous stuff to them would only harm them.

But before they could react, the servant continued to explain, "But as long as it's processed, there will be no problem at all."

Since everyone knew that this thing was poisonous and it had left a shadow in their hearts, they did not take the servant's explanation seriously.

"Can you tell me how to process it?"

The servant said: "It's very simple. Just cook them."

"Cooked? So simple?"

"Boy, are you kidding us?"

"Yes, call out your master. We have come all the way here, and you are playing tricks on us with poisonous things? Do you know what this is? It's murder for money!"

Someone took the lead, and everyone's emotions became excited.

After all, I had just waited in the room for quite a while. Although the host had taken good care of me in every aspect, but...

The master of the house never showed up, and it was the servants, maids and workers who greeted them.

Even though they knew it was because there were too many people and the host couldn't take care of them all, they still felt uncomfortable.

When I heard that cassava was poisonous, my emotions suddenly exploded.

Everyone surrounded the servant, as if they would not give up until he gave them an explanation.

These servants were all raised by Jiang Yizhou in Yunshan Academy. After being trained, this was their first official reception.

A trace of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down and said in a calm tone: "Please be patient, gentlemen. In fact, the first bowl of sweet soup you drank when you came to our village was made of cassava."

Everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"What, you..."

"Ugh, ugh—"

"Someone, come quickly..."

…………

The servant had already received two or three groups of merchants, so he was not surprised by these people's reactions.

He deftly avoided the pointing and prodding of these people, while remaining respectful in his words and actions.

He said again: "In fact, my master harvested some cassava ten days ago, and we eat it every day these days..."

In fact, these people did not feel unwell. The main reason was that the poison of this thing was too deeply rooted in people's minds. So when they found out that they had eaten it unknowingly, their instinctive reaction was to vomit.

At this moment, they heard the servant say that Master Jiang had been eating it for more than ten days. They were skeptical and asked, "Are you serious?"

"If you lie to us, we will report you to the authorities. We are not afraid even if your master is on good terms with the county magistrate."

"That's right, I want your Yunshan Farm to go bankrupt..."

The servant smiled despite these threats, "Everything I said is true. Everyone in our village has eaten it many times. I guarantee it with my life."

Everyone looked at each other and slowly calmed down.

Come to think of it, if this thing can't be eaten, then is the head of the Jiang family stupid? Why plant so much and invite so many merchants? Isn't that asking for trouble?

Then the servant introduced some methods of processing and eating cassava, and they couldn't wait to go to the head of the Jiang family to verify and discuss the subsequent cooperation matters.

The servant did not take them directly to see the master of the house because the group before them had not finished the negotiation yet.

Moreover, these servants need to take the merchants to understand the processing steps of these cassava.

So he led them to the food processing workshop.

They saw workers in uniform first washing the mud off the surface of the cassava and peeling off the outer skin.

Then a portion of it is placed in a huge steamer, steamed over high heat, and then sliced ​​and dried after cooling.

The servant said that cassava chips that have been steamed and dried are easier to store, and when you need to eat them, you only need to take out an appropriate amount and cook them until soft.

The other part of the cassava is transported to the water mill, where it is ground into pulp, the starch is drained out, and then made into vermicelli.

When they visited, there were already strings of vermicelli hanging out to dry.

Finally, the servant took them to see the last thing: cassava balls.

In the neat kitchen, a maid in uniform, a hat and a mask made the dough into small balls the size of a finger...

It turns out this is what they eat.

The waiter introduced: This cassava meatball can be made into a dessert, or it can be made savory, and it tastes more fragrant when added with minced meat, green onion and ginger.

At this point, all the doubts in everyone's mind were resolved.

The most important thing is that as you walk from one workshop to another, you will see clean and tidy cement roads, neat workshops, and most importantly, the workers here are all wearing uniform.

Especially those who prepare food, they wear hats and masks, which gives people a very professional, clean and hygienic feeling.

They had only one thought at the moment: Yunshan Farm was so formal, they felt assured to cooperate with such a farm.

Some of them can't wait to discuss cooperation with Mr. Jiang.

On the way here just now, they took a fancy to several products produced by Yunshan Farm: popcorn corn cones and dried fruits and vegetables that conquered their taste buds at the beginning. Now they not only want to buy cassava, but also want to buy cassava vermicelli, cassava flour, cassava chips...

They believe that they can quickly open up the market by taking these back.

However, this thing is so good, I just don’t know what the price is.

They asked the waiter nervously, "Little brother, do you know the price of these?"

The waiter still politely led everyone to a lounge, served tea and snacks, and a portion of cassava minced meat vermicelli for each person.

By this time, everyone was indeed a little hungry. They saw the servant eating the same vermicelli as them at the small table at the bottom, which was very delicious.

So they all started eating it with confidence...it was smooth and flexible, and it had minced meat and chopped green onions...if they were to set up a stall outside, they would definitely do good business.

After eating, everyone had basically figured out how much products they would take away this time.

I only regret that the number of horse-drawn carriages and mule carts I brought this time is limited. Oh, never mind, I'll take them back to open up the market this time, and then come a few more times.

...When it was their turn to formally meet with the head of the Jiang family to discuss the sale and purchase agreement, they discovered that the actual host was a girl who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

The girl was wearing the same type of clothes as the servant boy before, and she also had a respectful and friendly smile on her face.

The storage and processing methods of cassava and its by-products are introduced one by one.

Next are the wholesale prices of these products: raw cassava is one cent for three pounds, dried cassava and cassava flour are three cents per pound, and cassava vermicelli are four cents per pound.

About four pounds of cassava can produce one pound of cassava flour and cassava chips.

One penny for three pounds? This is too cheap.

Five or six businessmen looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Confirm with the other party again.

"Really three cents a pound? You didn't lie to us?"

Just now they had eaten a piece of steamed cassava, which was very filling and tasted very good, and could be used as a staple food.

"Of course. Although this thing is not poisonous when cooked, you can't eat too much..."
