Chapter 136: Reputation Corruption
Gu Zheng took Mo Xiaohe to a dye shop first, about the sample she designed, it has been dyed, the color is uniform, and it is not bad, although it has not reached the expected level, but it is not about the same, especially the silk of the ingots, I believe it will be a big seller. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's just that this design is too intuitive and easy to imitate, and we can make a lot of money."
Mo Xiaohe sighed, even if there is patent protection in modern times, copycats are still emerging in an endless stream, not to mention that in this era, only the ancestral craftsmanship of the family cannot be learned, because the technical components are too large.
"It doesn't matter, one silver is enough to spend a few years."
Gu Zheng doesn't have much ambition for money, and if he doesn't have money, he will think of making money, and for more than ten years, he has lived a self-sufficient life, using the game he has exchanged for hunting to the town for rice noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which can basically meet his daily needs.
"Well, such a trip is enough to toss people."
Mo Xiaohe thought that unless she traveled far, she would not do the business of goods, not to mention the hard work, there were all kinds of messy trivial things waiting for her during the transportation of goods on the road.
If there is no silver in the future, it is better to open a calligraphy and painting shop in the town, the husband Gu Zheng has an amazing talent in painting, even she is ashamed of herself, husband and wife join forces, paint, and then sell it to vassal and elegant rich people, it is a profitable business.
"We just need to paint paper, paint, shop rent, man."
The latter two, the rent of the shop, is negligible, they can buy a small shop in the town, one hundred and ten taels of silver, the couple can occasionally play, if they want to open a store, they will open for a few days, usually the two of them are engaged in creation in the mountains, and the door is closed.
Fantasizing about her future life, Mo Xiaohe laughed twice, it seems a little strange if she transforms her husband from a rough man in the mountains into a literary and artistic young man with artistic temperament.
She couldn't imagine him crouching on the ground painting, his face covered in ink and paint, but ......
"But what?"
The dyeing workshop can be delivered according to the normal date, and the couple can prepare to buy some things to take away, and the old Luzhou wine that Mo Xiaohe had in mind before should also hurry up and order.
Gu Zheng was thinking, looking at his own lady with a spring face, her face was crimson, and she didn't know what she thought of again.
"Husband, you don't understand what I said."
Mo Xiaohe touched her cheeks with her hands, sure enough, it was too hot, her cheeks were hot, what she wanted to say was body art, let Gu Zheng model her, of course, without clothes, showing various postures of the body, chest muscles, abdominal muscles, mermaid line, and ......
There was a huge chasm between the two that spanned time and space, and it was strange that he could understand it.
"Is that Spring Palace?"
Gu Zheng nodded, this idea seems to be good, that is, when there are two people*, put a large bronze mirror in front of them, and then they see their posture and expression in the bronze mirror, imprint it in their minds, and draw it.
Mo Xiaohe didn't know how to say it casually, so she was remembered by her husband and dug a pit for herself, so that one day in the future, she was tired and had a sore back, waiting for her husband to paint, and later drew a spring palace map circulated between husband and wife to increase the interest.
"You can only understand it, but you can't say it."
This esoteric art, how can people here understand, Mo Xiaohe smiled, and did not intend to explain.
Luzhou City has a long history of winemaking, more than a century-old brand, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as an outsider, must not be fooled by the expensive wine of the winery, the husband and wife in the downtown area, looking for local people to explore.
"You say winemaking?"
It is also knowledgeable to inquire with people, Gu Zheng asked a man who was waiting for work in the north of the city, and the man was holding a wine gourd in his hand, obviously a person who loved wine.
Mo Xiaohe bought wine mainly to keep it for giving away, visiting relatives and friends, and did not plan to do wine business. Those cans are too easy to break during transportation, and if you don't get it right, you won't be able to get your money back.
Because it is not convenient for long-distance transportation, in several cities and Dawu on the southern side of the Great Vietnam, I only heard of the fame of Luzhou wine, and people passed it on by word of mouth, but they did not really taste it.
Mainly relatives at home, grandfather, uncle, cousin, the rest of the rest, stay at home, and treat guests in the future, no matter what the price is, Guan is transported from such a long distance, it is already quite precious.
"Go to the Huang family, you go to the north of the city to inquire, no one knows the Huang family's wine, the drunken wine of the Drunken Immortal Building, we haven't drunk it, and we don't know what it tastes like, but the Huang family's wine, the price is fair, it must be better than those shops with time-honored brands, and the wine in those shops is not a few taels of silver, and it is absolutely impossible to buy a small jar, just deceive you outsiders."
The man is very real, strongly recommend the Huang family, it is said that the Huang family does not have a shop, and they have to knock on the door to buy wine, their family ancestral wine, there is no storefront, so as to save some costs, the wine is naturally much cheaper.
After Gu Zheng thanked him, he inquired with the grocery store guy, and the other party also recommended the Huang family, and drew a road map for the couple.
"Husband, it seems that we are shrewd this time."
Mo Xiaohe is very proud, he can save at least a few dozen taels of silver, save a little money, and be enough for expenses along the way.
Following the road map given by the guys, it was not easy for the couple, Luzhou City was densely populated, the alleys were turning around, and it took an hour for the two to touch the residence of the Huang family.
"Could it be that the business is so good that you need to queue up to buy alcohol?"
Mo Xiaohe got out of the carriage and inquired with the eldest lady on the side, "Auntie, our husband and wife are outsiders, and we came here, and I heard that the price of Huangjia liquor is fair, and I want to buy a car." ”
As soon as you shoot it, it is a car of wine, which is definitely a big deal, and if there is no red and white celebration, the wine is one or two catties.
Mo Xiaohe thought about inquiring with his eldest mother, buying a car, whether he needed to prepare wine jars by himself, and then the Huang family divided them one by one.
"Alas, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it today, and it's hard to say whether there is a Huang family in the future."
The eldest lady sighed, pointed to the few people in blue clothes in front of her, and whispered, "Little lady, have you seen those people?" ”
"What's the matter?"
At this time, Mo Xiaohe saw clearly, the group of people was tearing with a man, the two rooms were breaking out, and the people next to him dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, as if they couldn't afford to offend.
"It's not the hundred-year-old Zhang family, saying that the Huang family disrupts the market, the price is set low, and the Huang family's wine tank is going to be smashed!"
I have made trouble many times before, the Huang family is a small family, and they have been doing business for so many years, because of the good reputation, word of mouth, and outsiders are gradually familiar with it, they will not order wine in the Zhang family, which will make the Zhang family suffer a huge loss.
In this case, you don't have to think about choosing the Huang family, and the Zhang family, relying on the status of a century-old brand, pit some foreign merchants and do a hammer deal.
"Then why didn't the Huang family report to the official?"
Mo Xiaohe swore that she would never be nosy, but she caught up again, she wanted to buy wine, so she had to ask about the situation, and she couldn't watch the wine vat being smashed.
The Zhang family in Luzhou, as if he had heard of it, seemed to have a high attainment in winemaking, and had been an imperial merchant before, as a palace tribute wine.
"It's hard to say, little people, why do you fight with Zhang's family?"
The eldest lady and the neighbors who were watching around looked sorry, if the Huang family was driven away, they would not be able to drink good wine, and the grocery store at the same price was simply difficult to swallow, and the Huang family's wine would have raised them a long time ago.
"Little lady, don't you know, do you see the arrogant attitude of the Zhang family, can you rely on it?"
It's not that he doesn't report to the official, but he doesn't dare to report to the official, the Zhang family is not a general background, because of the relationship between the emperor and the businessman, the Zhang family and the Mo family are good friends.
"Little lady, you are outside, you may not know the Zhang family, but the Mo family, your jaw dropped when you said it, that is the mother of the queen!"
Luzhou Wei Governor's Mansion is a cronie of the Mo family, if the Huang family reports to the official, there will be good fruits to eat? It's light to be kicked out, it's just blame, the Huang family shouldn't lower the price, offend the people of the Zhang family, those hooligans, how can they give them a chance to reason!
"The Mo family?"
Mo Xiaohe was shocked, now, he can't think about it, he can't meddle with things, when it comes to the reputation of the clan, the Mo family didn't instruct him, let the Zhang family bully others, this black pot, the Mo family resolutely refuses to carry it!
If she hadn't met by chance, maybe the Zhang family would have succeeded!
Gu Zheng escorted Mo Xiaohe, walked through the crowd, and in front, the Zhang family was beating a middle-aged man in his thirties, punching and kicking, and constantly whistling while beating.
"Woo, let go, a bunch of robbers, let go of my husband!"
The woman next to her was dressed plainly, crying so much that she almost lost her breath, she tried to stop it, but was pushed away by one of the family members, and the woman stumbled and fell to the ground.
The man gritted his teeth, he was quite hard, and he didn't say a word when he was beaten.
"Hmph, offend our master, let you get out, don't get out, it's good, my master will abolish your hands today, see how you make wine in the future!"
After one of the family members finished speaking, he quickly took out a machete, as if to cut off the man's hand.
"Slut, stop it!"
Mo Xiaohe's sense of justice is back, in broad daylight, Lang Lang, he dares to cut people so openly, and he is not chasing gambling debts, just because there are disputes in the business, so he comes to find fault, the Zhang family, it is shameless to the extreme!
What's even more infuriating is that doing everything, he actually pulled the Mo family as a backing, ruining the reputation of the clan behind his back, Mo Xiaohe couldn't bear it!
"Where are the nosy girls, Luzhou is your territory?"
Jia Ding didn't expect that a contrarian person could come out, he looked up and glanced at Mo Xiaohe in astonishment, outsiders, don't even pay attention to it, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention, the Zhang family is not only the head snake, but also the strong dragon!
"It's not my aunt's territory, or you dog slaves?"
Dealing with shameless people, Mo Xiaohe was ruthless, she gave one of the onlookers a copper plate and asked him to report to the official, she didn't believe in evil!
How could the Mo family be in cahoots with a small wine-making vendor? The Zhang family used to be an imperial businessman, but now it is not, that means that there must have been a problem, she wants to let this group of people know that the name of the Mo family is not something that anyone can borrow!
