Chapter 16: Clues
Lu Li because today is not a holiday, he sang a sip of wine and went to the county office, in ancient times, the work time was still quite early, and there were many holidays, Wang Chao is a good wine person, took a sip and called this wine, all he drank before was fake wine, this wine looks as clear as water, but it is as strong as fire, and the throat and heart are hot after taking a sip, and men should drink such wine.
Lu Zifei looked at everyone's performance and said, "Uncle Wang, do you think those three thousand flowers are worth it now?" We probably use three jars of wine to steam out one jar, then the selling price in the future will be relatively high, except that I asked you to make such a set of equipment yesterday, and you can help me contact a place where you can burn bottles, and the cap on the bottle should be made according to my set. β
Wang Chao seemed to be puzzled and said: "The equipment is easy to say, there are acquaintances, burn the bottle?" Xiao Fei are you talking about the place where porcelain is fired? β
Lu Zifei also reacted, the porcelain firing of the Song Dynasty reached its peak, you can have a piece of anything produced by the five major kilns, you don't have to work hard in this life, in this way, you can make it a little more upscale, and the operability is more.
"That's right, it's the place where Uncle Wang said to burn porcelain, I'll give you the words later, you take it and ask them if they can burn it, go a few more, pick one that can supply us in large quantities, and the quality of the fire can't be bad." Lu Zifei said while thinking.
Wang Chao heard a lot of heart, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Fei, how much did you say?" β
Lu Zifei said casually: "The first time it may be 5,000, and then I think I need hundreds of thousands of bottles a year, and it is too late for a family to do it, this is all a later story, first do the things in front of you, and no one can say what will happen later." β
still has to take the emperor's route, he needs to help publicize it, glanced at Li Lin, who was still circling the barrel of wine, and said, "Don't look at that thing, can you help me contact the official kiln and help me burn a few pieces of porcelain." β
Li Lin's thief eyes kept swaying up and down, left and right under his eyelids, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a few seconds, he said, "Is this?" Well said, but how about you need to give me ten barrels of wine like this when I go back. β
Is that low for you? That's the official kiln, hey, it's really pitiful for a child who has never seen the world, Lu Zifei also pretended to think about it, made that very reluctant expression and said, "Deal, what I want is the best master in the official kiln to help me burn, not the best bottle, the wine can't be given to you, you have to think clearly, deceive me, the braised lion's head and good wine will leave you." β
"Don't worry, what a big deal, you know it's not difficult for me, just beg him, if you can bring him back a lot of money, there is no problem for you to let the official kiln cook the most beautiful night pot for you." It's still the same old-fashioned, patting my chest and guaranteeing it.
Lu Zifei is really not worried about the market, he is afraid that the goods are too small, and now there is only one problem left, that is, the price, distilled in a ratio of three to one, the price must be at least tripled.
"Uncle Wang, who bought the wine poured in front?"
"Xiaofei, I went to buy it, this is the best wine in Chang'an County."
Lu Zifei smiled: "It turned out that Uncle Tian went to buy it!" Uncle Tian, how much is a jar of wine when you buy it? β
Tian Suo said: "One altar five through three, we want a lot, and finally I talked about five runs." β
"Then Uncle Tian thinks how much can a jar of wine like ours sell for now?"
This can stump Tian Suo, he is a farmer, he has fought a war, he is honest, and Wang Chao and Lu Zifei are both fellow villagers, so he follows them, but he really doesn't dare to intervene in these tens of thousands of transactions.
Wang Chao took over the conversation and said: "Don't embarrass your Uncle Tian, he drinks about the same, it's the first time I've seen such a good wine in so many years, to be honest, this price is really hard to set, Xiaofei, what do you think?" β
Lu Zifei said, "I am going to take the high-end route, the wine is divided into three grades, ordinary - high-end - top, ordinary 30 guan a bottle, high-grade 50 guan, top 100 guan, there may be more advanced ones in the future, and the price may be higher." β
No one spoke, because they didn't know how to say it, even Li Lin, a person who couldn't tell the difference between leeks and wheat, knew that a family of five couldn't use the same amount of money every day, and he meant a bottle, not an altar, and the bottle was definitely not as big as an altar, a hundred times? Who would spend a hundred times on a bottle of wine to drink, unless that person was stupid.
Wang Chao cautiously asked, "The lowest price is 30 yuan, can anyone afford it?" Xiao Fei. β
What a bunch of turtles! In later generations, a bottle of Moutai was auctioned out of more than 10 million, at least more than 10,000 in the Song Dynasty, or everyone rushed to ask for it, no one drank it at thirty times, jokes, the economy of the Song Dynasty reached its peak in history, and Li Shimin, who created the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, was not a little worse than the economy during the Renzong period, and there were more people who could drink it, or the vision decided everything.
Lu Zifei also understood that these people couldn't accept it for a while, as long as the first batch of wine was sold, they would understand, and the explanation should still be to say, "I didn't want ordinary people to drink this wine, not to mention our price, it turned out that there were five yuan a jar, and how many farmers could drink it?" Our wine is a high-end route, it is for those dignitaries to drink, there is no room for bargaining, you just do it, Uncle Wang, don't forget the things I arranged for you, it's okay after eating for a while, Huzi, you go to check the details of my good classmate, don't let people find out, no matter what you find, don't move yourself, come back and tell me. β
After eating, a few people are really boring, Li Lin can't be a little interested in visiting Chang'an, you have to give them some entertainment, mahjong is a good thing, suitable for all ages, but it takes time to make, playing cards are very good, you want to do it, find paper, cut it into a general size of paper, mark it with a pen, Lu Zifei, Li Lin and Lu Ziyun began their journey to fight landlords.
"Xiao Wang" "My big king, four with two pairs, weak to help them paste." "The weak love to do this, the three elder brothers who lose will give them an iron note on their faces, Lu Ziyun and Li Lin are all over the head, I can't see that they are still individuals, as for how they see the cards clearly, Lu Zifei doesn't know, maybe it's a special function.
"Don't play, how can you always win after playing at noon, Xiao Yunguang and I lose, it's boring, and I don't bring money, I don't have any passion at all." Li Lin put down the cards in his hand and shouted.
"That's because I'm the inventor, I'm the rule-maker, I have the final say on how to play, you don't lose unjustly, haha."
The two people who were arguing heard a knock on the door, Lu Ziyun ran to open the door, and after opening the door, he found that there were two people standing at the door, which gave him a feeling that something was wrong, and out of politeness he asked, "Who are you looking for?" β
The younger one replied, "I want to ask if Li Lin lives here." β
"You're looking for Brother Li! Wait a minute, I'll call someone for you. β
"Brother Li, two strange people are looking for you outside."
"Are you sure you're looking for me? Small clouds. Li Lin said.
Lu Ziyun affirmed, "Yes, I am looking for you by name." β
The two glanced at each other and walked out of the door at the same time, they knew that it was someone from Tokyo, and when they saw the visitor, Li Lin greeted him, "I didn't expect Grandpa Wan to arrive in person, how can you make the kid embarrassed." β
"You little monkey, is there anything you don't dare? Today is quite polite, the battlefield can indeed train people. The old man said.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa Wan, I'll introduce you, this is my friend Lu Zifei, Xiucai, this is Wan Ming, Grandpa Wan." β
Lu Zifei knew how powerful this kind of person was, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please come in, Mr. come to my house, and it will be shining." β
Wan Ming was very surprised, this young man is very smart, his eyes are very pure, there is no discrimination, no contempt, he has been to Chang'an County for a day, he has checked the information of this young man, good student, family affairs are innocent, the ancestor sat in the hands of the Tang Dynasty Sect in the military department, this time the emperor's prescription is really effective, although he is now a showman, but the name has long been left in the emperor's heart.
Wan Ming smiled and said, "I don't dare to call this title sir, you and this little monkey also call me Grandpa Wan, this time I may have to disturb you for a few days, I will discuss some problems with you." β
Lu Zifei said: "Welcome, it is a blessing for a kid to be able to ask Grandpa Wan for advice, please come in, my father is not here, my mother is taking care of my younger sister, I can only accompany Grandpa Wan." β
Wan Ming always looked like he was smiling, "Just have you with me, my father will be gone when he comes back, and I hope you will help me keep it secret, there are some things that you know in your heart." β
Lu Zifei said, "I understand. β
After several people sat down, Lu Zifei didn't speak after reading the tea, the other party must be more anxious than him, he knows this kind of thing too well, his confidence is that he has a prescription for curing diseases, the other party is identity pressing himself, the momentum depends on who admits defeat first, Wan Ming also knows that he can wait patiently, the emperor can't do it, it's important to get what he wants as soon as possible, fortunately, there is a-stirring stick.
Li Lin saw that the atmosphere was wrong and said, "Grandpa Wan, have you brought my things, I have a surprise for you." β
Wan Ming didn't speak, the little eunuch next to him handed a few pieces of paper to Li Lin, Li Lin didn't look at it and gave it directly to Lu Zifei, Lu Zifei didn't look at it, put it away, Wan Ming nodded secretly, it's good to do things with smart people, everything is in plain sight.
Lu Zifei got what he wanted, and said to Wan Ming, "Grandpa Wan, it's not early today, you eat something first, take a rest, and we'll talk about it in detail tomorrow, how about it." β
"Okay, little monkey, didn't you say you wanted to surprise me? Accompany your grandfather Wan to have a look, right? β
"Brother Zifei, didn't you ask me to investigate your classmate, I found something, I inquired about one of his family's subordinates, they were originally from Guangxi, he had an elder brother who served in Kaifeng, and the woman who died that day was his fiancΓ©e." Huzi said to Lu Zifei.
