Chapter 37: Snow

In this way, Qingjian went to take office. Qing Jian's movements were fast, he first met with Chen Cai's housekeeper and the workers in the winery, and Chen Cai announced that Qingjian was the new owner of the winery. Then, Qingjian went to several kilns with Chen Cai and customized several wine jars and wine bottles. After the decision, Chen Cai was busy.

Qingjian immediately found a few local liquor dealers. Because they are the stewards of the county lord's family, these wine dealers are very face-saving, and they immediately received them warmly, and they were very happy to hear that they were going to sell wine, and they had already been greedy for this business, although Qingjian told them that they could no longer sell locally, but this was not a problem, you know, as wine sellers, they all had a lot of contact with foreign wine dealers, because a large part of the wine they sold was sold from other places. So the sales channel is not a problem. As for the quality of the wine, there is no need to worry, because they have been to Qinghe Building many times, and they all like to drink the fine wine there. Therefore, the wine merchants were very enthusiastic, and even a few of them had to take a deposit for Qingjian on the spot.

Of course, Qingjian did not accept the deposit, but said that he would wait for a few days to be packaged and then bring it, and at the same time he had to talk about the price and cooperation methods.

A few days later, the jars and bottles were ready. The Chen family gathered after dinner to admire. There are three wine jars made by kilns, and the style is ordinary, but they are all marked with the name of Yuquan wine, and they are glazed inside and out. Because the wine is volatile, it should be glazed inside and out. There are five porcelain vases, two are amphorae of white porcelain, and three are amphorae of blue and white porcelain. Chen Wenhui looked at it for a long time and thought that the blue and white porcelain was more beautiful. Bai also agreed. In this way, the style of the bottle was decided, and then it was necessary to place a deposit and produce the bottle in large quantities.

The first bottles will be ready to ship in about 20 days. When the Bai family heard that a deposit was needed, he originally wanted to send it out from the treasury, but considering that the treasury was running out of money, he didn't know if it was enough, and he was hesitating, Qingjian said: "Madame doesn't need to give money first, I will fill the selected wine jar and wine bottle with Yuquan wine and Yubing roast respectively, and go out for a turn to pay enough money for the deposit." "Bai Shi heard it strange, such a jar and a bottle of wine can be sold for a few dollars. Qingjian smiled and said, "That's right, I agreed with Master Yu, the largest local wine merchant, that when I take the wine sample, I can give us a deposit." So that we can take this deposit to pay the deposit for the bottle. Now the Bai clan understood, and praised Qingjian's flexible brain, and ordered him to do it quickly.

Qingjian took the jar and bottle back to the wine shop first, filled the wine, and then went to Master Yu's shop, signed the contract, got the deposit, and waited for the bottle to arrive after twenty days, so he brought it to Master Yu, and then Master Yu paid the rest of the money. After coming out of Yu's shop, Qingjian went to the kiln factory again, signed the contract, and paid the deposit. When he returned to the house, he taught the two contract books to the Bai family to collect, and hurriedly rushed to the winery to supervise the workers to produce in large quantities. Because in twenty days the cellar will be able to free up a large area, and it is about to be produced in a hurry, so that the grain will not spoil.

Qingjian was busy, but Wen Hui was very idle, she was bored this day, painting in front of the window to pass the time, and suddenly found that there were pieces of things falling, but if you looked closely, it was snowflakes, crystal clear, and now Wen Hui was very happy. Hurriedly ran out and jumped into the yard again, so frightened that Qiu Bi hurriedly found the rose purple silver mouse gown and the scarlet Dora cloak and came out for Chen Wenhui to put on.

Overnight, a thin layer of snow had accumulated in the yard, and the snow stopped. Chen Wenhui is still a little unsatisfied, but there is no way, the snow in Jiangnan can only be like this. Chen Wenhui sighed at the snow, and Bai smiled and hugged his daughter and said, "Silly boy, if you like snow and wait for us to return to Beijing, then you will learn greatly." Actually, I don't like snow, it's wet, it's weird. Chen Wenhui listened to it and longed for the scenery of the northern country, but she could only think about it. Looking at the snow, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered that there was a plum tree in the backyard, and hurriedly pulled her mother to see it.

Bai said: "Yes, I almost forgot about it, it should be just right to enjoy the plum on a snowy day, I looked at it when I passed by a few days ago, and I opened my red mouth, and now it should be opened, okay." Now hurry up and put on your snow coat and cape, and let's go and see. After speaking, Chen Wenhui put on a small padded jacket with a blue satin surface, and covered it with a pink silver mouse snow coat, a lake-green cloak, and a small cloud-digging boots on her feet. Bai himself wore a bright red silver rat snow coat, a dark red cape, and deerskin boots, which was very energetic.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw a fiery red tree blooming in the white snow, and the cold fragrance was far and near. Chen Wenhui was overjoyed, turned to Qingshuang and said, "Sister Qingshuang, the perfumes you made last time are very good, now you can take the opportunity to make some plum blossom perfume." Qingshuang nodded.

Bai said: "Speaking of this, last time your father asked why the house was so fragrant, and it wasn't the smell of those rue incense, like the fragrance of flowers, and said, where are the flowers blooming at this time." I just told him that he was the perfume you made Qingshuang tinker with. Your father said that it was a good idea, to keep the fragrance of the flowers, and to smell the scent of flowers in winter. Chen Wenhui rolled her eyes weakly, this dad is really romantic, perfume is to supplement body fragrance, the French originally invented it to cover up the smell on the body, where is it to retain the fragrance of flowers. But this is also a good mention. Qingshuang said: "I am now very proficient in making perfume according to the method taught by the girl, this plum blossom fragrance is peculiar, it must not be difficult to concoct." I'll pick some and take them back when I get back. Chen Wenhui happily said yes, and surrounded the plum blossoms to appreciate it seriously.

After watching for a long time, Chen Wenhui thought of a question: "Mother, there are no snowflakes on this plum blossom petal, how to collect plum blossom snow water." Bai Shi smiled: "This small snow, how can it be enough to collect plum blossom snow water, but it is difficult to collect in the south of the Yangtze River, if it has been collected in the capital a long time ago, it must have snowed several times." Chen Wenhui tilted her head sideways and thought about it, so she threw it away and concentrated on appreciating the plum blossoms.

At this time, Green Sprout came from outside, and there was something in his hand, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a piece of paper with a red ribbon tied to it. Green Sprouts first saluted, and then said, "This is brought by the mother-in-law of the Blue Girl's family, please take a look at the girl." Chen Wenhui hurriedly took it and opened it to see, but it was a piece of paper marked with plum blossom twill, on which was a remark by Lan Caiyu Wen Crepe, and a small poem about plum blossoms, which seemed to be written by Lan Caiyu himself.

Chen Wenhui was not interested in these poems, but she was very interested in the content of the letters. It turned out that Lan Caiyu and Lan Yingyu invited her to the Lan family to enjoy plum blossoms. Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked Lu Ya: "Where is that mother-in-law?" Green Bud said: "I am still waiting for the girl's reply in the small flower hall in front." He also brought a large white porcelain bottle with several beautiful red plum blossoms. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran out. Bai Shi followed: "Don't run, be careful of falling." Where would Chen Wenhui listen, a cigarette had already run away. When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw a woman wearing a green jacket and a sauce-colored skirt sitting and drinking tea. Seeing Chen Wenhui running in, he hurriedly stood up.

Chen Wenhui invited her to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask: "Sister Lan is fine, what are you doing at home, who else did you invite this time?" The mother-in-law replied with a smile: "Both girls in our family asked the girl how she was." The girl is very healthy, and she does needlework and reading books every day, and she has long wanted to meet the girl. No, it snowed, and the plum blossoms in the garden were blooming, and our girl asked the slave maid to pick a few branches and send them over, and at the same time asked the girl to come over to the house to see the plum blossoms. There are also girls from the Wan family, girls from the Wang family, and one is our cousin girl from the Li family. Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked again: "What does your cousin do at home, and how old is she?" The mother-in-law said, "Our cousin is from our aunt's family, and she is ten years old this year. Our aunt and grandmother are married to the Li family, the mountain chief of the city school. The Li family's poems and books are heirlooms, and they don't do business, and there are people in the family who come out to be officials, but they are not as big as the family in the house. Our cousin's name is Li Shuyu, and she is the most quiet. Chen Wenhui listened and said, "Thank you for this mother, Green Sprouts, give this mother a first-class red seal." I beg this mother, you tell your girl, I will be there the day after tomorrow. ”

As soon as this mother-in-law heard that there was a first-class Feng Hong, she immediately smiled and lost her eyebrows, thanked the reward and was about to go back, but was stopped by Wen Hui again. Chen Wenhui said to Green Sprouts: "Green Sprouts, you go find a box to pack the mille-feuille cake we made today, bring it to this mother, put two boxes, and say that I gave it to the two Blue sisters, this is made at home, the taste is average, but it is cleaner than the one bought outside." The mother-in-law listened to the busy and thanked again, and followed the green sprouts to take the mille-feuille cake.

After she left, Chen Wenhui hurriedly found Bai's, who was roasting around the brazier in the upper room. Chen Wenhui didn't have time to take off her cloak and snow coat when she entered the door, so she said to Bai: "Mother, my sister of the Lan family invited me to enjoy the plum blossoms the day after tomorrow, I want to go." Bai smiled and went over, helped his daughter untie her cloak and snow coat, and took her daughter's little hand to sit next to the brazier, and said, "Seeing that you child is in a hurry, you don't take off your cloak when you enter the door, and you talk without taking off your cloak, and you sweat and catch a cold carefully." If you want to go, you can go, but you have to pay attention, this weather is too cold, and catching a cold is not fun. Well, who do you want to follow when you go out, Green Sprout and Qiubi are too small, so it's better to have a big one. Chen Wenhui said: "What are you afraid of with my wet nurse, if my mother is still not at ease, won't she lend me Sister Qiushui in the second brother's house for a day?" "Bai Shi heard it very well, so it was decided.
