A hundred years of family: the beginning of eternal life from the Republic of China

In 1911, the Revolution of [-] broke out in Wuchang!

In 1912, under Yuan Shikai's proposition, the Qing emperor announced his abdication, and the Manchu government completely collapsed.

In 1914, Yuan Shikai separated Suiyuan from Shanxi and established the Suiyuan Special Zone.

Under Yuan Shikai's wrist.

The Beiyang government began to rule the land of China.

The track of history has begun to enter a new era. Compared with the Manchu Qing period, Beiyang is full of many stubborn remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it is still much better than the Manchu Qing era.

Some schools and factories began to open in an orderly manner.

However, under the eyes of the great powers, Beiyang is still in a precarious situation, and foreign debts and economic plunder have become commonplace.

Under the waves of this historical background, the Zhao family in Suiyuan also became a drop of the waves, drifting with the tide unconsciously.

1914 years.

New Years just passed.

The streets and alleys of Guisui are still in a state of joy and peace.

All the other children went to play with firecrackers, except Zhao Guang, who was 12 years old. At this time, Zhao Guang was watching some livestock in his backyard with his father Zhao Youzhi.

Among them, a healthy horse.

There are three fat cows, but there are more than a dozen sheep.

As for more chickens and ducks, it is really not worth much.

In addition, Zhao Youzhi was doing some livestock trading in Guisui. It can be said that he bought cheap and sold expensive, earning some middle price difference.

Occasionally do some food and fur business.

It can be said that the Zhao family is a self-sufficient low-level family in the local area. Not to mention comparing with the big families in Guisui City, even if it is a small family, the Zhao family can't compare.

At best, it can be regarded as self-sufficient, and its life is stable and prosperous.

"Father, don't be a livestock dealer in the future!"

"Let's make canned beef!"

Zhao Guang looked at his family's family background, blinked at Zhao Youzhi and said.

"Don't be that livestock dealer, our family drinks northwest wind, don't do this, our family doesn't have any wealth at all!"

"Canned beef, what is this?"

Zhao Youzhi looked at Zhao Guang in a daze.

"Canned beef is something that seals the prepared stewed beef and beef of various flavors in an iron box or a glass jar!"

"In short, it is a food product that is sealed to extend the shelf life and can be eaten quickly!"

Zhao Guang's eyes were piercing, he looked at Zhao Youzhi, and spoke eloquently.

"this?"

Zhao Youzhi has traveled far and wide, and has done business in the imperial capitals of Shanxi and Hebei, so he is naturally well-informed. He seems to have heard of this thing before, and it seems to be a foreign thing.

"Can this make money?"

Zhao Youzhi didn't know much about this thing, but he had only heard about it. At this moment, he looked at his son in a daze. It seemed that Zhao Youzhi felt that his son had changed, and his eyes looked a little like a grown-up.

"can!"

"At present, there are not many people doing this in China!"

"And to do this, it is mainly anti-corrosion technology. We already have this technical formula, and it is stronger than the anti-corrosion technology of the great powers!"

"Just a few years ago, I got the patent certificate issued by the British embassy!"

Zhao Guang said with a smile.

"It can be said that what restricts us now is only the container. This iron box needs to find the cooperation of the steel factory, but the current steel factory is basically government-run!"

"I have to find some contacts to open up the joints, and if I can get low-priced canned food, then the business will basically be successful!"

"Father, you settle the score!"

"An [-]-jin cow usually costs two or three silver dollars in Guisui. If you sell it for three silver dollars, it's already worth it!"

"Even if sold to the imperial capital, it's only four silver dollars!"

"But if it becomes stewed meat, a cow can produce three or four hundred catties of meat. According to a box of half a catty of meat, we can produce at least six hundred boxes!"

"One box is calculated at 50 Wen, and six hundred boxes are 300 silver dollars!"

"Among them, the biggest cost is the iron box. As long as the iron box is won within [-] cents a piece, our income will definitely be good!"

"As for the consumption of stewed meat and artificial ingredients, the cost is not big!"

Zhao Guang stripped away the benefits of the entire business chain. Even Zhao Youzhi, who didn't know much about this industry, couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

It sounds like this is a very lucrative business.

Although Zhao Youzhi is just a livestock dealer, his sense of making money is not weak.

Immediately, Zhao Youzhi felt an urge to do something.

"Son, are you serious about the preservatives? You can't be teasing Dad, right?"

Zhao Youzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at Zhao Guang suspiciously. Zhao Guang is still young now, so don't let someone tell him to cheat him of money.

As long as he didn't lie to him for money, Zhao Youzhi could do it.

"Mom, if Dad doesn't believe it, just take out my thing and show him!"

Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Zhao Guang called out to his mother.

Zhao Guang has come to Guisui since his grandfather's generation, and he is an immigrant here. Zhao Guang's mother is a local here.

Zhao Guang's grandfather belonged to a typical local herdsman. Herds of cattle and sheep ran all over the mountains. But since Zhao Guang's mother married a poor ghost, his grandfather and uncle didn't like to see Zhao Guang's mother. It is not impossible to describe.

Zhao Guang's shout was heard by Sun Qing'er.

Immediately, Sun Qing'er wiped her hands and took out Zhao Guang's document.

The appearance of the document looks more luxurious and upscale. After Zhao Youzhi saw the appearance of the document, his heart hung in his stomach.

After Zhao Guang opened the document, there was a piece of foreign language in it, which Zhao Youzhi couldn't understand, but the signed chapter was in both Chinese and English.

The words of the British embassy are very prominent.

When Zhao Youzhi saw this, he was extremely excited, and his heart was sweeter than drinking honey, because what Zhao Guang said about the cost and the market was right.

Now there is only one thing that Zhao Youzhi is worried about, and that is the problem of sales.

Not to mention selling a cow for 600 silver dollars, if the net profit of a cow can be ten silver dollars, he can work forever.

Zhao Guang seemed to notice the anxious look in his father's eyes.

"Father, don't worry about the sales volume!"

"Currently, the Beiyang army is very large, and it is still expanding. The food products needed for armaments are basically the same as those in the Qing Dynasty!"

"Let's not talk about supplying the entire Beiyang army, even the army in the province of Suiyuan can make a lot of money. Even if the army supplies a lot, we can reduce the price!"

"This is the army. Apart from the army, it can also be sold to some families and businessmen, even ordinary people with petty bourgeoisie!"

"This fast food product is not only convenient to eat at home, but it is also very good to buy a few boxes for travel and business trips!"

Zhao Guang continued to explain.

Zhao Guang's explanation completely dispelled Zhao Youzhi's inner worries.
