Chapter 460 Oil
Yang Ding, this person may not be a very likable person. When my mother bought him, she temporarily replaced the butler of the old Qin family for a period of time, and then she was always responsible for the purchase. This is a relatively easy thing, or even an optional thing.
So he was like a transparent person in the Yang family. Not to mention Yang Heng, but even I had forgotten that she had bought such a person back then.
But that day, Yang Ding did something big for Yang Heng.
"Alang, the foreign housekeeper Yang Ding asked for a meeting." Old Qin hurried over to report to Yang Heng. "Foreign housekeeper, when did I have a foreign housekeeper in my family? Why didn't I know?" Yang Heng was stunned. When did he have a foreign housekeeper in his family?
"Alang, you forgot that when the old mistress was away, she bought a housekeeper by chance, but later she did not cancel her housekeeper's name, just to let him be responsible for some procurement matters outside. Over the years, he has helped the family a lot. Whether it is the servants sent out to buy things or when I go to buy things, they all followed his guidance, and then they bought things as soon as possible."
"Isn't this a shopping guide? Is there such a person in our family?" Yang Heng still scratched his head a little. He really didn't remember it. "Oh, by the way, I remember that there was such a thing. At the beginning, there was indeed such a person in the family. Because it seemed to be against you, and the family was not familiar with the matter of Chang'an City, he was asked to be responsible for guiding the procurement. I. I actually forgot him. He has been doing this work for so many years. Let him come in quickly. It's all my fault." Yang Heng said with his scalp scratching.
"Alang, Yang Ding has met Alang." "Yang Ding, what's wrong with you coming to see me?" "Alang, I saw such a bucket of things in the market. I want Alang to see, can you use this?"
This is a small wooden barrel. A lid is sealed with wooden wedges, "What is it here?" Yang Heng was very curious and vaguely smelled a familiar smell.
"Alang, this is a liquid brought by Hu Renxin. They were preparing to go to the Tang Dynasty to test the waters. They hoped that it would be difficult to sell. This thing was not very accurate. It was called stone juice. It was said that it was juice flowing out of the stone. It said that this thing could be used as lamp oil to light the lamp, but they sold it for a long time but it didn't sell it. This thing has a strange smell when it burns. Besides, our Tang Dynasty now uses electric lights, and even when there is no electricity, they also use candles. Even if the poorest families will buy it.
A few candles are available, who would buy this so-called lamp oil? But I found a problem, which is that it looks very smooth when pinched with your hands. And Alang, you like some strange things, so I boldly bought it to see if you can use it." Although Yang Ding said a lot, he was still very nervous. This thing is really useless, otherwise no one would have bought it. It was because Yang Heng was curious that he boldly bought it. But is this really something Yang Heng needs?
"Stone juice, haha, this is oil." Yang Heng was excited. When he heard the stone juice before, he really didn't know what it was. But after Yang Ding's description, he suddenly realized that this was oil. What kind of stone fat water should be called in the Tang Dynasty? Yang Heng had arranged for someone to look for it, but he didn't find it. But the oil he discovered for the first time was actually obtained from the Hu people. Perhaps because of his arrival, the oil in the Tang Dynasty disappeared directly, that is, it was useless and no one would use it. But now, fortunately, there was such a fool Hu people who brought oil to sell it. Fortunately, Yang Ding thought that Yang Heng would be interested in this and bought it back, otherwise the Hu people would definitely throw this thing away.
"Okay, okay, Yang Ding, you have made a contribution. Otherwise, you will be responsible for finding these strange things for me in the future, and the wages are the same as those of the old housekeeper Qin." Well, if you have forgotten you over the years, then I will compensate you for the wages first. Because I forgot, I still need to check what this person is like. Yang Heng did not directly arrange a position for him.
"Xie Alang, what should I do if this stone juice is?" "This, let the Hu man transport it to this place. How much does it cost and how much we want? You can do it yourself. Don't think it's expensive."
Originally, Yang Heng planned to arrange people to go outside to find the oil, but since there is a ready-made one, let's use it first. Who knows when it will be found? This thing is underground, either growing on the ground, or some places will become a small stream and flow out, but it is not found temporarily, so it can be expensive if this thing is bought with money. When it is sold, it will be higher.
"Yes, Alang, there are still dozens of barrels in that Hu man, I will buy them together." Yang Ding left, but Yang Heng fell into a state of excitement. This Hu man was a fool. He actually traveled a long distance to sell these things. If it weren't for Yang Ding's discovery, the Hu man would probably lose all his money and would never transport this thing again. This Hu man should be a newcomer in business, otherwise how could he do such a stupid thing? However, I like, the more fools such as this, the better. Also, Yang Ding has a good vision.
"Alang, I was wrong. I have seen this thing, but I didn't expect it to be useful. I even joked about that Hu man and joked about him as a fool. Who would sell these things? It's delicious and has a lot of cigarettes."
"Haha, this has nothing to do with you. If you didn't see it, even Yang Ding was a little nervous. This shows that he had no idea. However, he really had ideas. Okay, it's not your fault. Even if you missed these things, it's not your fault. However, I want to give you a task. If you see this thing, you can arrange someone to search for it. First, search for it in the radius of five hundred miles around us. However, I don't know where this thing is, but this thing must be there. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, someone discovered this thing and used it as lamp oil. Moreover, it has many names, some called stone lacquer, some called stone lacquer, and other names. I don't know, and the colors are also dark and light. Okay, you can arrange it."
"Yes, Alang, then I'll sue you." Lao Qin, the housekeeper, has a very regular business, but his head is not very flexible, so he will never buy it back when he sees that. Yang Ding and Yang Heng can see from this incident that his mind is very flexible and he can give him some special tasks in the future.
"Oil, it's such a good thing. This is an important resource for various countries in Yang Heng's previous life." After the two left, Yang Heng rushed to the edge of the oil barrel, took off some of the sealed wooden wedges, then pried open the lid, looked at the things in front of him, and slowly entered the fantasy.
He saw that the car was running whistling on the road, on the river and on the sea, small speedboats were flying on the water, and all kinds of chemical materials and asphalt roads were all these petroleum products.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
"Brother, what's the happy thing? You laughed so hard." "Haha, Yuzhang, good stuff, this is really a good thing. In the future, we will make a very beautiful car, and it's a real car." Although Yang Heng and Yuzhang have officially gotten married, the name between the two has not changed. Why? They have always been used to the title, so it's difficult to change it.
