Chapter 34: Revitalization

Bai Shi nodded when he heard this, and Chen Yuanheng said again: "Well, the grain purchase not only allowed me to complete this year's tax revenue smoothly, but also helped the people very much. Madame didn't know, because of our high prices, so many people were going to be unable to survive, but now not only can they pay the tax, but also have surplus, after all, this year's harvest has been good, so they bought some daily things.

Originally, I had never looked at these little money, but I didn't expect that the collection of armpits into a fur would become a large amount of money, which promoted hundreds of industries, and as a result, this year's business tax has improved. Therefore, the grain still has to be harvested. ”

Bai said with a smile: "I don't know this, I know that in the past few months, since we have purchased grain, our soybean oil, restaurants, and ready-to-wear shops have been doing better than usual." Besides, although the price of grain we buy is higher than the market price, it is only equivalent to the usual year, so we do not lose money, and we make wine, which is the most profitable, and we make a lot of money by selling it. Of course it can't be stopped. The problem is that our liquor business sells less and buys more grain, and a lot of wine is stored there, so the money can't be transferred, so what can we do about this? When Chen Yuanheng heard this, he also frowned.

Chen Wenhui listened, looked at her parents' frowning eyebrows and said, "Actually, I have a way. Chen Yuanheng and Bai asked together: "What can you do?" Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's just to sell more wine." ”

Bai's originally hopeful eyes darkened again: "Hey, Hui'er, we have a restaurant, although business has been much better recently, but we can only sell those every day, how can we increase it?" Chen Wenhui was surprised: "Why can we only supply our restaurant, can't we sell it to other restaurants?" ”

"All the restaurants in Anseong want our wine, but we can't sell it to them, this wine is the signature of our restaurant," Paik said. The wine and dishes in our restaurant are incomparable to those in the outside restaurant, so we can sell them more expensively, if every restaurant has our wine, we will lose some customers, so where is more money, is less money. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "Mother, although I haven't drunk the wine we brewed, I also heard Yin Hong say that it was brewed with the secret recipe treasured by our father in the house. I heard that it was very popular, and many customers in the restaurant came for our wine. It is said that our wine is mellow and strong, unlike the wine outside, which is thin and light and has a sour taste. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, this wine recipe was made after I studied it for a long time. In fact, it is said that in the past, all of our liquor was bland and sour, and the color was white or yellow, just like the shops outside. That's why it's called cloudy wine. Our sake is sake. It was handed down by Emperor Guanglie. Later, when the dynasty changed, the sake recipe was in the hands of the clans, and each clan had its own recipes, which were roughly the same, and the taste was similar. Each family and nobleman has a special winery, which specializes in making wine and drinking it himself. There are also some wines made by the family that will be sold, and of course, the best wine in the world is still the imperial wine in the palace. There is a special wine division in the palace, and there is a lot of wine made, and in addition to supplying the nobles in the palace, some must be reserved for the emperor to reward the ministers. When I was young, I liked to study these miscellaneous sciences, and because my eldest sister entered the palace, I met a father-in-law of a wine chef, who instructed me in how to make wine. Originally, our Chen family's wine recipe was very good, and under the guidance of the father-in-law of the wine company, I improved the wine recipe, and now this wine recipe is good, and many friends praise it after drinking it. This can't be passed on casually. ”

Chen Wenhui thought to herself, that Fusu really wouldn't let go of the opportunity to make money, and brought modern winemaking technology, originally she wondered, this era should be the era of low-alcohol wine, how could she make spirits at home, it turned out to be like this.

Also, his father is worthy of being an aristocratic background, not only knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also makes wine, what a talent. Although I thought about it in my heart, I said: "Father, don't worry, I don't want the winery to sell wine to local restaurants, but to sell wine to restaurants in Linxian County, as well as the Fucheng Deqing City, and the provincial city Qingyang City, I believe that with the quality of our wine, it will definitely sell very well." In fact, our restaurant has already made a name for itself, even if other restaurants have our wine, it doesn't matter, after all, we are taking the high-end route, where do other restaurants have our beautiful private rooms and water pavilions, as well as our diverse and delicious meals. ”

Bai Shi and Chen Yuanheng were all stunned when they heard their daughter's words, but yes, they didn't think of it before, this should be a good idea. Chen Yuanheng immediately called Chen Cai's housekeeper.

After a while, Chen Cai came. Chen Yuanheng told him the idea. Chen Cai also nodded yes. After thinking for a while, he said: "In this way, our wine should be named, like those famous wines, such as "thick wine, pear blossom white, apricot blossom village" These famous wines have a good name. ”

Chen Wenhui thought, this Chen Cai is amazing, and he has brand awareness so early. Chen Yuanheng listened to it and said: "What you said is very true, our wine is mellow, transparent, and fragrant, how about calling it Yubing Yao?" ”

Chen Wenhui and Bai both said yes. Chen Yuanheng said: "Then let's call it this name." Chen Cai, you can find someone to sell the stored wine, so that we can make money back. Chen Cai smiled and said, "There is one more problem. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "What? Chen Cai said: "Now I am in charge of the winery, in the past, just hiring people to make wine, relatively simple, I can still take care of it, now if you add to the takeaway wine, there will be more people to organize people to install the altar, to sell, reconciliation and many other things, I am afraid that I can't take care of it alone." ”

Bai Shi and Chen Yuanheng both nodded when they heard this. Yes, Chen Cai has too many things, and he has to help Chen Yuanheng deal with some trivial matters in the yamen, and he has to manage the winery, which is a loss to Chen Cai's ability, but this is not conducive to the development of the winery in the long run, so it is still necessary to find a special person to be responsible. I have too few people.

Chen Yuanheng asked Chen Cai: "Who else do you think is suitable in the family?" Chen Cai said: "Actually, I thought about it for a long time, and I think that the green sword next to the second young master is very good. Qingjian is the elder brother of the Qingshuang girl next to Mrs., he is also eighteen years old this year, and he is very capable, when he was in the house before, he first worked as a small servant, and then worked in the concierge, and then he went to the back office, and he has been practicing for ten years, and now he has come out with the master, and has been taking care of the second young master, and he is a little condescending. ”

Chen Yuanheng remembered when he heard it: "Yes, Qingjian is a good one." My wife and I deliberately let the capable and steady Qingjian take care of him because Lin'er was young and too out-of-tant. Now that Lin'er is also older, there are still big girls by her side, and a few little girls, as well as wet nurses, and little maid Linbo has also been in the house for a long time, so it's okay, just transfer the green sword out. ”

Chen Cai hurriedly said yes. Bai said: "It's not good to have only one small guy by Lin'er's side, so I can buy some more people to enter the house and match Lin'er with another little guy." Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Madam thinks very much, so let's do it." ”

Chen Yuanheng asked where Qingjian went, and Qingshuang hurriedly said: "Now the young masters haven't gotten out of school yet, and it's almost dark to see the sky, my brother is in the school with the young master." ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Then after dinner, let Qingjian come and see what ideas he has for selling wine." Qingshuang was very happy to see her brother being promoted, and hurriedly agreed. I kowtowed to the old lady in a panic and thanked him. He also thanked Chen Cai's housekeeper for his blessings.

Chen Wenhui said again: "I still have an idea about selling wine. Chen Yuanheng hurriedly asked what it was? Chen Wenhui said: "I think we have stored a lot of wine for a while, right? ”

Chen Cai hurriedly said: "The specific numbers are all on the account, I only remember that there are probably more than 30,000 catties of wine." Chen Wenhui was taken aback: "So many?" Chen Cai said: "Yes, in fact, since the winery was built, we have produced almost 40,000 catties of wine." Our own restaurant alone consumes more than 10,000 catties of wine. On average, 100 catties of wine are sold every day. ”

Chen Wenhui was stunned: "It's really amazing that we consume so much in one restaurant." How much did we use for the food? Chen Cai said: "We received a total of about 50,000 taels of grain, in fact, the grain is very cheap, some rice is of good quality, some is of poor quality, the price is different, on average it is about one tael of silver and one stone, so there are 50,000 stones." We can produce about 400 catties of wine a day, because it is an assembly line method taught to us by the girl, now we make wine every day, every day we produce wine, and every day the wine must be cellared, and it takes a month to take out and sell it, so that every day there is new wine or sell or continue to store. Because our wine is all strong liquor, we use a lot of grain, and we need forty stone of grain, but now we have four or five thousand stone of grain, and the remaining forty thousand or so are saved. So we had to build another huge granary. Because there was so much wine stored, I had to dig the cellar to store the wine, and the cellar was dug five. Fortunately, I bought a lot of land at the beginning, or it was not enough. ”

Because he follows Bai's to read the accounts every day, Chen Wenhui knows that one stone in this era is forty catties. One tael of silver is 1,000 yuan, so it is more than 20 yuan for a pound of grain, which is really cheap. In fact, this is the price of a normal year, like this year, there is a bumper harvest of grain, and a pound of grain is only sold for 15 wen, so the price of the Chen family makes many farmers happy.

At this time, Chen Yuanheng lowered his head and counted for a while, and then asked: "Well, these are the output of spirits." Spirits are generally three catties of grain and one catty, so there should be some turbid wine? "At this time, cloudy sake refers to low-alcohol liquor. In fact, ordinary people can't afford to consume spirits, they all drink low-alcohol alcohol. Chen Cai hurriedly said: "In fact, our turbid wine is also very clear, but the taste is not strong, but our restaurant does not sell low-grade wine, so these wines have no market, but we are reluctant to throw them away, so we have been storing them, and we have dug a few large cellars." It's about 50,000 catties. More than spirits. Chen Wenhui doesn't know these yet, after listening to it, I feel that it is a big waste, how much money does this have to be, hey, I really don't know if I am guarding Jinshan.
