Chapter 404

Yang Lu and the others were butchering the giant bears.

Although this was a chef's job, hunters knew the technique as well.

This time, the two hundred ice bears were basically all wounded in the neck and head.

Their fur was completely intact.

Yang Lu and the others skillfully butchered the bear hides, then cut off the fat.

Chen Hua's oil-refining team was already waiting nearby.

Every time they finished butchering a bear, they carried several hundred jin of fat to the oil-refining shop.

The fat of these ice bears could be refined into cooking oil, and also into industrial fire oil.

Fire oil wasn't expensive.

Improved fire oil was a bit pricier.

Super-improved fire oil was even pricier.

But it was still a consumable after all.

No matter how expensive, it couldn't compare to equipment and fashion items.

But an idea popped into Zhao Chi's head.

Now that the Rich Aroma Food Street had been shut down, he'd lost a lot of ways to make money.

Then he could only make money through normal channels.

Although he'd have to pay taxes, as long as he could turn a profit, it was worth it.

What he could put out on the market right now was only stockings fashion, shirt fashion, experience fruit, and two kinds of super-improved fire oil.

But the main material for the stockings and shirt fashion was the silk produced by Gu Qing.

Zhao Chi didn't want anyone else to find out about this.

He didn't want to expose the experience fruit either.

So, in the end, what was left was this super-improved fire oil.

If he sold it, the one with the best sales would surely be that super-bright fire oil.

After all, the flame's brightness had increased tenfold.

Everyone's need for light was not low.

Especially lords who held territory needed this even more.

On top of that, this super-improved fire oil didn't involve too many secrets, so Zhao Chi could just pretend he'd stumbled upon it during his own research, and no one would be suspicious.

After all, there were plenty of such examples.

Many family founders nowadays had built their fortunes through this kind of self-invented technology.

Many well-known craftsmen had also invented their own techniques and materials.

Even a little shop on the street might have its own secret recipe.

If Zhao Chi sold this super-bright fire oil, it really was a viable path.

He considered it once more — it was indeed feasible.

Then he'd switch up his money-making method.

Sell fire oil!
