Tong Xue squinted her eyes and almost cried happily, she simply tasted the taste of silver, "That's the taste." β
"Xianggong, I succeeded." Tong Xue excitedly pulled the corners of Xu Wenda's clothes and jumped twice happily, if it weren't for the presence of others at the moment, Tong Xue really couldn't wait to hug Xu Wenda and kiss the two to express her joy, "I succeeded." β
Xu Wenda gently took Tong Xue's hand away, then stabilized the lively person, and coughed gently, "Be steady, such a big person, like a child." β
Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenda, who didn't look at her, and Xu Wenyuan, who deliberately tilted his head to the side, so as not to see the two of them, Tong Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes, and was used to pretending to take Qiao in front of her younger brothers and sisters.
Tong Xue can't wait to tell everyone about her mood at the moment, since Xu Wenda refuses to share this joy with her, Tong Xue turned her target to Xu Wenyuan, "Wenyuan, you can also taste it, do you think this wine can be sold at a good price?" β
Xu Wenyuan is a very financially minded person, at least Tong Xue thinks so, the family's income and expenditure, Xu Wenyuan wrote an account book without a teacher, and the record is clear, and now when he is facing the old fox of the shopkeeper Liu, he has no advantage at all, and he can also grasp the initiative.
Tong Xue felt that this was probably an innate talent, so Tong Xue also attached great importance to Xu Wenyuan's opinion.
Xu Wenyuan is not the same teenager as before, and he is also talking about things in this regard, "The drinks nowadays are relatively light, this wine is a strong wine, and some people may not be used to drinking it, but I believe that there are still many people who like it." If it can be mass-produced, it must be able to make huge profits from it. β
Just thinking that Tong Xue tossed these things out for an afternoon, Xu Wenyuan still said that it was not enough at all, "But." Sister-in-law, that weird thing of yours is not easy to build, and it is not easy to operate. It still takes up a lot of space, so I'm afraid it's a little difficult to mass produce. β
Thinking of the equipment that Tong Xue requested, Xu Wenda also frowned, "These delicate things can still be made into molds." However, if it is magnified several times, the difficulty of building will be doubled, and it is indeed not easy. β
Tong Xue thought about the current process and level, and felt a little regretful, "Since we can't mass produce it, then we can only take the high-quality route." β
Xu Wenyuan nodded and agreed very much, "The boutique route is also a method, anyway, this wine is unique, and there is no other place." In terms of price, of course, you can open it with confidence. β
Tong Xue has always known that this large amount of money is often in the hands of a few people, scarce is expensive, it is not good to say, take the boutique route, the profit is much more than the ordinary route, I have not seen so many people in modern times who are keen on luxury, especially when it is still a limited edition, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people who will spend money. "That makes sense."
Tong Xue added one item to her plan, "When I go to Yuzhou, I will open a local winemaking workshop, and then separate the grades." Depending on the number of distillations, it is sold at different prices. β
Tong Xue looked in the direction of Xu Wenda, and then saluted with a smile, "When the time comes, please ask Lord Xu to make it convenient for me." β
"Yes." Xu Wenda replied after a while, "It's just that this wine is okay." But for sale, I think it's better not to come forward with us, we just arrived in Yuzhou, it's better not to act rashly. β
"Huh?" Tong Xue was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand for a while.
Seeing Xu Wenda's eyes, somehow, suddenly a spirit was excited, and he understood.
Tong Xue is a little sneering at the logic of people in this era, it is nothing more than being an official in the court and not doing business, but the money issued by the court is extremely limited, and it is really extremely poor to live on it.
Of course, the people who lived a prosperous life in those days were not necessarily corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they looted the ointment of the wise people, but they had all kinds of assets and inputs under their names, the most common being such as granges, and there were also shops, and there were more so-called businesses that did not fall into the clichΓ© such as the four treasures of the study room and the bookstore.
Xu Wenda's meaning, Tong Xue understands, just like now, selling what he makes to a shop is a farming family, but if he runs a shop, he is an official in business.
Tong Xue didn't understand the essential difference between the two, it was nothing more than an extra layer of cover-up, but she had no choice but to do so.
Tong Xue smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I've been so proud these days, I almost forgot about it, and the officials of the court are not allowed to participate in the business." β
Xu Wenda looked at the smile on Tong Xue's face and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, "The fat powder shops you talked about before are just that, this thing sounds like a lady's shop, and it is counted as your private room, but this wine is not good on the surface." β
Tong Xue was naturally a little unhappy in her heart, she could do her own business, but she had to go around in a circle and give a few percent of the profits to others, making a lot less money for nothing. But she also knows that the current shape is like this, and she can only compromise.
Ben came over there and could start preparations directly, and it seems that he still needs to find a suitable partner to work with. Thinking that they have been working well with Shopkeeper Liu, although Shopkeeper Liu is a goblin in business, Tong Xue feels that she may miss this partner after she goes to Yuzhou.
Tong Xue suddenly remembered the noble young man she met when she was in Jianye, "Do you think the Zhou family will cooperate with us?" β
"The Zhou family?" Xu Wenda frowned, "The Zhou family is everyone, even if you can make this wine, but you can't produce it in large quantities, the meat is too small, and the Zhou family may not be able to look at it." β
Tong Xue nodded, "Yes." I just think it's good to be the owner of Liu's shopkeeper, and our previous cooperation is also pleasant, and it is more beneficial to talk about cooperation with people I know than to find people I don't know. I heard that their family's business has gone all over the country, although it may not be possible to meet someone like Shopkeeper Liu who can cooperate happily, but the Chaotian pepper he sent before came from the sea, and he must have a stronghold in Yuzhou. β
Seeing Tong Xue a little depressed, although he felt that it was unlikely, the Zhou family was not small, he had learned these days that Liu Qingfu's owner was really Jianye's wealthy imperial merchant Zhou family, and the family had a big business, this little business, although this wine is indeed unique, but it may not be worth it.
But Xu Wenda still said, "If you want to." You can also try. If not, we went to Yuzhou, and there was no hurry to find someone again. Your wine can't be brewed just after you arrive at the place. It always takes time. β
Looking at Tong Xue's appearance, Xu Wenda said with a smile, "A few days ago, I said that I was too nervous, and I was thinking about the situation in Yuzhou all day long, and I think the same is true for you." β
Tong Xue made a decision on the spot. Regardless of whether it works out or not, let's go to Shopkeeper Liu to test it, "Anyway, I'll send this wine to Shopkeeper Liu to taste tomorrow." β
The person who was sent to deliver wine to Shopkeeper Liu was naturally Xu Wenyuan, who had high hopes for Tong Xue. This kind of thing, naturally, is not the shopkeeper Liu can call the shots, after all, it involves the shopkeeper and sales in Yuzhou, of course, the shopkeeper Liu has to ask the owner, this time and again, I am afraid that more than a month has passed.
Tong Xue couldn't wait for this result, so Xu Wenyuan could only say to Shopkeeper Liu. If the Zhou family is interested, then Yuzhou will consult with her, Xu Wenda, as the governor of Yuzhou, should be easy to find.
After Xu Wenyuan came back from sending something, he began to be depressed, and saw Tong Xue looking at her baby peppers in the yard, some of which had turned red, and Tong Xue was very happy to see it.
Xu Wenyuan stood behind Tong Xue and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going to leave in five days?" β
Hearing the sudden sound behind her, Tong Xue was startled. Looking back at Xu Wenyuan behind her, she couldn't help but pat her chest and be shocked, "If you appear so suddenly a few times, my soul will be scared away." We do have to go. β
In fact, Xu Wenda came back. That is, I can't rest assured about many things at home, and now that they have been dealt with, I can naturally take office with confidence, "The affairs of the family, except for your family affairs, we don't have anything to worry about." Wan'er's family affairs have been settled, Wen Zhao also went to the school, and everything is on the right track, we believe that you can take care of every qiΔ at home. β
Xu Wenyuan said a little unwillingly, "But in fact, we all want to leave with you." During this time, every time I mentioned it to my eldest brother, I was blocked back by my eldest brother, I am not afraid that I will suffer if I don't adapt to Yuzhou, I just want the whole family to be together. β
Tong Xue naturally knows this kind of affection, she can understand that if there are still parents in this family, Xu Wenyuan probably won't think so, but over the years, only their brother and sister have depended on each other, and their feelings for Xu Wenda are naturally not as simple as their brothers.
Xu Wenda is leaving, and these children must be reluctant.
But Xu Wenda naturally has his considerations and calculations, Yuzhou is not a stable place, there are a lot of bandits, Xu Wenda, the official, is a bright target, she heard Yan Niang mention that the place is unstable, there was a governor many years ago who was wiped out by those Liukou, it was also a shocking thing for the government and the opposition, otherwise Yan Niang in the deep palace would not know.
There were more than a dozen people in a family, and there was not even a baby left, when Tong Xue heard it, the whole person was not good, and he didn't slow down for a long time, which is why Tong Xue never persuaded Xu Wenda later.
Xu Wenda also told her that Yuzhou was dangerous, and she also thought that it might be more difficult over there, but she didn't expect that things would be so bad that it was so bad, no wonder it was a headache for the emperor.
Tong Xue tried her best to make herself happy, such as the convenient sea route over there, the many businessmen, how could her father-in-law be an official given by His Majesty, it was still a little different from the approval of the ministry, and she tried not to let herself think about these worst things, Xu Wenda said that he would protect her, and she believed Xu Wenda.
But she thought optimistically, it doesn't mean that these dark and dangerous things don't exist, the Xu family, there are two children, a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, before they settle down, Tong Xue herself thinks it's better for them to stay at home.
Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenyuan with a smile, "Such a big person, what nonsense, Wan'er has just decided to marry, we will move the family away, the Su family still thinks that we are going to regret the marriage, what about you, just take care of the house, if your eldest brother is good over there, he will naturally come back to pick you up." β
When Xu Wenyuan heard Tong Xue's words, he thought about Su Heng's appearance on weekdays and smiled, "Brother Su won't think so, even if he can't trust us, can he still trust Big Brother?" β
Xu Wenda was not far away at the moment, listening to the conversation between the uncle and sister-in-law, and then did not alarm the two of them, and then walked away silently.
At night, Xu Wenda hugged Tong Xue tightly, but did nothing, Tong Xue felt a little strange, and then heard a voice behind her, "Xue'er, I'm sorry." β
"Xianggong?" Tong Xue was stunned when she heard this, "Wenda, what's wrong with you?" How can you tell me that you're sorry, what have you done to be sorry for me. β
Tong Xue thought about the past few days, and didn't feel that Xu Wenda had done anything to be sorry for her, so she said jokingly, "As long as you don't provoke other people's girls outside, you will be angry with your current attitude of admitting your mistakes, and I can forgive you for whatever you do." β
"Is your husband the kind of person who messes with flowers?"
"Xianggong's face still looks quite easy to attract bees and butterflies."
"I took you to Yuzhou, I was selfish, I want to be with you, but it's dangerous, you might as well stay like Wenyuan and them."
