On May 18, the eighth year of Xuanli, Fu Daguan took Fu Xiaoguan to inspect the territory of the landlord's family and returned to Linjiang.

During this trip, Fu Xiaoguan had a preliminary understanding of his own landowner's land, and made the first product with his own brand in this world - Xishan elixir, and by the way, he received a little brother Bai Yulian, and made a preliminary plan for the future of Xishan Villa, and the prototype of a base integrating R&D and production gradually had an outline in his mind.

The next thing is to understand the world, of course, the first thing is to understand Linjiang, so far he has not walked the streets of Linjiang.

Shopping was something he didn't like before, but now he's happy because it's really idle.

So after exercising and having breakfast the next day, he took Bai Yulian and Chunxiu out in a carriage, and Bai Yulian served as his coachman.

"Xiu'er, I need to make some glass bottles, do you know the place?"

"Glass? The slave has never heard of it, but the glass does. ”

"Oh, Ruri will do the same."

"There's one over there in Xifang, now go and take a look?"

Fu Xiaoguan searched his memory, Xifang is a market, and the location is remote. "Let's go to Yu Fu Ji first."

"Is there any pottery in Xifang?"

"Yes."

"yes, okay."

Chunxiu didn't know what the young master wanted these utensils for, the glass was very expensive, and the Fu Mansion also had a set of glass wine utensils, which were not used by non-distinguished guests.

As for pottery, it is cheap, and every household has to use it.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't ask again, he looked out the window.

Rows of houses, quaint and elegant courtyards, bluestone streets, and occasional exquisite pavilions.

A window was open on the second floor of a certain house, and a woman poked her head out to look down, but the bamboo pole that supported the window did not fall.

The doors of the shops facing the street have long been opened, and all kinds of brand flags on the shops are waving in the morning breeze. Hawkers are pushing wheelbarrows or jumping on burdens, shouting all the way.

Linjiang City has already woken up.

After looking at it like this, half an hour later, the carriage came to the door of Yu Fuji.

This street is called Eighteen Mile Lane, which is not the most prosperous street in Linjiang City, but the location is already good. According to the previous life, this is a second-class port.

Fu Xiaoguan looked around, although it existed in his memory, what he saw with his own eyes was much more real.

The door of Yu Fu Ji has also been opened, but there are no customers at the door - after all, it is selling wine, and there are definitely not many people drinking early in the morning.

Cai Xi, the old shopkeeper of Yu Fuji, was frowning at an account book at the moment, and then shook his head with a sigh.

Over the years, Yu Fu Ji's sales have deteriorated, and April was even more bleak, with a total of 120 catties, 600 yuan, and a profit of 120 yuan...... Although the property here was purchased by the young lady back then, even if the rent is put aside, excluding the expenses, it is already a loss.

He closed the account book and thought about it, although his uncle didn't care about the business here, but this shop was left by the young lady to the young master, and now he felt very guilty for being like this.

There is only one kind of wine in Yu Fu Ji, which is the most common wine produced by Xishan Distillery, and it doesn't even have a name.

The variety is single and ordinary, not competitive at all, if it is not patronized by old customers, I am afraid that it will already be beyond our means.

The business of the Qi wine shop on the other side was not good before, but since Qi Yuanming, the young owner of the Qi family, got a wine called Yaochun, the business of the Qi wine shop has become more and more prosperous.

He went to buy Yaochun wine, which was much worse than the fragrance in the capital, but much better than his own wine, but he had not found out the origin of this wine, so he was helpless.

With a long sigh, he raised his head and saw the young owner walking in with the two of them.

This made him a little surprised, and even wiped his old eyes, he was indeed not mistaken, it was really a young owner.

Cai Xi hurriedly greeted him, Fu Xiaoguan respectfully saluted him, Cai Xi was shocked and hurriedly returned the salute, "The young owner has tormented the old slave!" ”

Cai Xi is Xu Yunqing's servant, when Xu Yunqing married Fu Daguan, he followed and became a servant of the Fu family, and naturally he was also a servant of the Shaodong family.

"Cai Lao should accept this gift, since his mother and immortal go, Yu Fuji will be taken care of by Cai Lao, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, there is no need to panic."

Cai Xi was frightened: "The little old man is incompetent, and he has not done a good job in the business left by the young lady, please punish the young master!" ”

Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "It's not your problem, it's my problem." ”

Saying that, Fu Xiaoguan looked around, this shop is very large, but the furnishings are very simple.

There are three tables of eight immortals in the middle, and on three sides of the wall are a row of wine vats, and on the counter are an abacus and several wine cups...... And then there was nothing.

Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and smiled dumbly, this is really not Cai Xi's problem.

"Shopkeeper Cai, ask two people to bring in the wine in my carriage."

The carriage contained two jars of liquor, one hundred and eighty catties, one of which was a mixture of wheat and sorghum distilled liquor, with a degree of about 30 degrees.

The other jar is a liquor distilled from rice with a degree of about 40 degrees.

Compared with the wine drunk in the Xishan Courtyard, the degree is a little lower, but the wine production rate is 20% higher.

That is, the cost is about one or two wines and seven cents.

The two jars of wine were placed on the table, Fu Xiaoguan sat down casually, and said to Cai Xi: "Cai shopkeeper try it." ”

Cai Xi took the wine spoon and cup, opened the lid of one of the jars of wine, and the aroma of wine came to his face, he was stunned for a moment, sniffed vigorously, and his old eyes lit up, "Good wine!" ”

He opened the jar at 30 degrees, which was at least 10 degrees higher than the original wine.

He carefully slapped a spoonful, poured a little into the cup, sniffed it to the end of his nose again, drank it in one gulp, aftertasted it for a while, turned his head and said to Xiao Er behind him: "Go and get the Yaoxiang wine." ”

Then he opened another jar of wine, and he was startled by the stronger aroma of the wine, which was...... The smell of fragrance!

When he was in Beijing, he worked with Miss and drank Tianxiang more than once.

He looked at the young master suspiciously, could it be that the Hu family passed on the secret recipe of adding incense to the young master?

He took the wine and tasted it...... It's the same as Tim Fragrance!

"Tim Xiang?"

Fu Xiaoguan shook his head.

"Where did this wine come from?"

"A few days ago, I went to Xishan Villa with my father, looked at the wine shop, and I got this thing out of my hands."

Fu Xiaoguan understated it, but Cai Xi couldn't believe it.

Not to mention the absurdity of the young master's actions, he has been immersed in wine for decades, so he naturally knows the history of its development. It would not be surprising if the young master had a secret recipe for adding fragrant wine, but if it was the young master's original ...... That's a great feat.

The wine on the market, with Tian Xiang first, but the production of Tian Xiang is very low, even in the capital, it is only a few dignitaries can drink it, not to mention outside the capital, which is not sold at all.

It is no longer measured in terms of money, but a status symbol.

If the young master really created this secret recipe by himself, then he would break the myth of adding incense and would be able to enter the homes of ordinary people...... What a big market!

Xiao Er took Yaochun wine, and Cai Xi put down three drinking utensils.

One cup is poured into Yaochun, one cup is poured into thirty degrees, and another glass is poured into forty degrees.

"This wine is operated by the opposite Qi family, named Yaochun, the price is one or two hundred and fifty Wen, and the young master is a product."

Fu Xiaoguan picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, then put it down, and said, "This wine is at most twenty degrees." ”

“…… What does twenty degrees mean? ”

"It is the strength of the wine, we have to set the standard, and in the future, our family's wine will be marked with the degree, such as this altar, 32 degrees, and this altar, 42 degrees."

"This ...... How is it determined? ”

"Drink, according to the taste, well, just take the altar of forty-two degrees as the criterion, and the stronger the wine is higher."

Bai Yulian's eyes lit up, this method is okay, then what she drank in the Xishan Courtyard should be fifty degrees.

Cai Xi pondered for a moment and understood, but he didn't realize the huge impact this standard would have on the subsequent wine.

He was tasting wine at the moment, starting from Yaochun, drank three glasses, and nodded.

The thirty-two-degree wine is already far superior to Yaochun, not to mention another jar of wine that is comparable to Tianxiang.

Maybe it was because of the wine, he was very excited, and his old face was also flushed at the moment, "Young master, with these two kinds of wine, Yu Fuji will definitely be famous all over the world!" ”

He didn't say that it was famous in Linjiang, because if the 42-degree wine was mass-produced, it would definitely be famous all over the world.

"Dare to ask the young master, what is the output of these two kinds of wine?"

"The new brewery is still being built, but even if it is built, the production of this wine will not be high, I estimate that it will be ...... a day This kind of forty-two degrees is only about thirty catties. This kind of thirty-two degrees will be a little more, estimated at seventy or eighty pounds. ”

The output is very low, Cai Xi was slightly disappointed, and then asked, "Then what is the price of this young master?" ”

"This kind," Fu Xiaoguan pointed to the altar at thirty-two degrees, "It's called Xishan Xiangquan, and this kind of is called Xishan Tianol." The price of Xiangquan wine is one or two fifty wen, and the price of heavenly alcohol is ...... One, two, three hundred. ”

Bai Yulian was startled, and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, you are so robbing money!

He knows these two kinds of wine, the cost of Xiangquan is only seven Wen, and the cost of Tianol is only nine Wen, how many times the profit is this!

Cai Xi was also surprised, this ...... "Isn't it too expensive?" ”

Fu Xiaoguan smiled: "You say, is there any fragrant spring wine on the market?" ”

Cai Xi shook his head, this one really doesn't exist.

"You said that since Tianol can be compared with Tianxiang, can Tianxiang be bought on the market?"

Cai Xi shook his head again.

"So, we are exclusive, we can sell as much as we want, and we have to sell it in limited quantities, I have to tell you in advance, per person, per day, Xiangquan can buy up to five taels, and Tianol can only buy three taels at most, this is very important, you must remember."

How can there be a reason to open a shop and not do business?

Cai Xi couldn't figure it out, Bai Yulian and Chunxiu couldn't figure it out either, but Fu Xiaoguan didn't explain, just emphasized it once, just do what he said, just do it.

"As for the time of sale, when I inform you, the news can be released, but no one is allowed to taste it."
