Chapter 117: West Market Wine Workshop

Getting closer, Guo Song found that the store space is very large, typical Tang Dynasty style, the first floor is about one zhang and five feet high, which is equivalent to a ceiling height of four meters and five, the store is eight meters wide and at least twenty meters deep, this is only the first floor, the second floor is only slightly shorter than the first floor, about four meters high, but the second floor is closed, only a row of windows.

There are two rows of large vats on each side of the shop against the wall, roughly pointed, about 60 mouths.

There was a table and chair in the innermost corner, where the shopkeeper sit, and there was a door next to it, but I don't know where it led behind the door?

Five or six men were sitting and resting, but when they saw them come in, they all stood up and looked at them uneasily, presumably all of them knew about the transfer of the shop.

Li An smiled and asked, "Is Lord Lu here?" ”

A tall guy hurriedly greeted him, and he could see that he was the leader of the guys, and he nodded again and again, "Our proprietor is here!" ”

He hurriedly shouted: "The proprietor, there are guests looking for you!" ”

Guo Song couldn't help but look at this guy, he was as tall as himself, which was still relatively rare among ordinary people, but this person obviously hadn't practiced martial arts, and he looked like a sorghum.

"What's your name?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"The villain's name is Jiang Feng, and he is the leader of the wine shop."

At this time, the innermost door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, wearing an octagonal hat, with a slightly fat figure, a small nose and small eyes, and he looked very shrewd.

"You're the proprietor?" The middle-aged man was very polite, and the supervisor of the city bureau specially greeted him, explaining that the other party had a background.

"Under the surname Li, you can just call me Shopkeeper Li."

Li An introduced Guo Song to him, "This is Guo Gongzi, the grandson of Guo Lao Linggong, and he wants to buy your shop." ”

Guo Song was taken aback, how did Ang Li know that he was Guo Ziyi's grandson?

When the other party heard that it was Guo Ziyi's family, he immediately stood in awe, hugged his fists and said, "Guo Gongzi, it's rude." ”

Guo Song laughed dryly, quickly glanced at Li An, and saw that he had a serious face, not like a joke, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, could it be that he really went to Lingzhou to investigate himself?

But after thinking about it, Guo Song understood that Ang Li couldn't use Guo Ziyi's gimmick, if his surname was Li, maybe he would become a royal family again.

Lu Dongzhu was very refreshed and got straight to the point: "The shops are all unified, with two floors, a courtyard at the back, and a wine cellar, and a wine cellar behind the courtyard, there is a delivery caravan boat, and two delivery ox carts, and then store 500 stones, worth 1,500 yuan, and the rent for two years is 4,000 yuan."

Ox carts, wine boats, hundreds of wine tanks, wine barrels, and other items, I count you 500 guan, 300 stone of aged wine, I count you 2,000 guan, and then a winery in Fuping County, I have 50 percent, I invested 2,000 guan at that time, and now I count you 2,000 guan, and they offer us wine at half the market price.

There are also I signed a delivery agreement with 43 restaurants in Chang'an City, which is a guest that I spent five years saving, counting two thousand, and selling it at a loss, a total of 12,000 yuan, I am very anxious to go back to do white things, if you can give me silver today, then a price, 10,000 taels of silver, I will be a customer accumulated in five years to send it to you, you can rest assured, I will not come back to my hometown, my guests are not recognized by the store, have signed a long-term supply contract. ”

Gan Lei was about to speak, but Guo Song agreed, "Yes, it's decided!" ”

Lu Dongzhu was a little stunned, "Won't Gongzi Guo take a look?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, "The owner is a sincere person at a glance, and when dealing with honest people, I never worry about being deceived." ”

Lu Dongzhu was also a little moved, and said to Guo Song: "Opening a wine shop is more difficult, the opening of the market is coming, the closure of the market can end, and you have to settle accounts and take inventory at night, but you can rest assured, the hard work is worth it, the money you invested today, I will earn it back for you in three years." ”

Li An said with a smile on the side: "But the most basic lease deed and account book still have to be looked at a little, and then you can set up a transfer contract, we will go to the municipal office to transfer, 10,000 taels of silver, I will send it immediately." ”

Lu Dongzhu nodded, "That's for sure, and then I want to give you the contract of Fuping Distillery, and tomorrow morning, I will take you to Fuping Distillery, and if you want to change the name of the owner, you need to be signed by three parties on the spot." ”

Guo Song was really a little big, he was most afraid of doing these tedious things, he said to Li Wenyu: "It's up to you to run these things!" All I have to do is draw and sign. ”

Li Wenyu nodded and smiled at Lu Dongzhu: "Lu Dongzhu, these six guys have to stay!" ”

"You decide this, they are all willing to stay, and then you discuss in detail, how much to pay every month, it is in the account book, the leader Jiang Feng, I suggest you stay, he has been with me for many years and has more experience."

Lu Dongzhu ran to hold the account book, Gan Lei pulled Guo Song aside, and said in a low voice: "I was deceived like this back then, everything looked very good, and in the end I found out that everything was fake, we can't give money so happily." ”

Guo Song patted him on the arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I have to go through the transfer of ownership through the municipal office, and I can't fake it, and besides, who dares to lie to me, I promise to recover it with interest, if he can't pay it back, he has to pay for it with his life. ”

Lu Dongzhu brought a bunch of account books and contracts, Li Wenyu sat down and looked through the account books, and asked from time to time about the purchase and delivery, how to settle the bill? How long can 500 stone wine be stored, and will it be sour on such a hot day?

Lu Dongzhu told her that 300 stone aged wine in the 500 stone wine can be put for a long time, in the cellar barrel, the remaining 200 stone wine must be supplied to the restaurant, and it will be delivered in these two days, and the wine will be paid, and the rules of the wine store are not credited, and the brand they sell is the famous Tang Dynasty wine Fuping Chun, in fact, the real Fuping Spring only brews 1,000 stone a year, all of which are supplied to the palace, and the rest of the wine is called Fuping Chun as long as it is from Fuping County.

The restaurant delivers wine twice a month, and it is usually sold in retail.

Li Wenyu asked in detail, and the two talked for half an hour, and finally Lu Dongzhu gave Guo Song a thumbs up, "Guo Gongzi, the female shopkeeper you invited is very good, although she is new to this industry, but she has asked the key point, with her in charge of the wine shop, don't worry at all." ”

Guo Song smiled, "I still need to teach Lord Lu." ”

"That's for sure, I can't tell some secrets now, I can't tell her until I close the house, this is the rule, if I say it too soon, my eating bowl will be smashed."

The handover between the two parties was very smooth, the transfer contract was set up in the municipal office, and when the red seal was knocked down, the wine shop was officially owned by Guo Song.

Lu Dongzhu and Li An went to get the silver, Guo Song asked Li Wenyu with a smile, "What does Senior Sister Li think?" ”

"I only have two thoughts right now!"

Li Wenyu said with a solemn expression: "From tomorrow, I want to visit one restaurant after another, ninety percent of the income of the wine shop depends on the restaurant, and if we lose these big customers in the restaurant, the wine shop will be finished, and our profit is very thin, only one percent of the net profit, and we can earn two hundred yuan a month, which is already good." ”

"What's another idea?" Guo Song asked again.

"There are six guys too many, and I'm going to quit three of them, and I'll save fifteen dollars a month."

Gan Lei suddenly said urgently: "Didn't that Lu Dongzhu say that when he was busy, there were not enough people?" ”

Li Wenyu glared at him fiercely, "Isn't there still you?" Do you still think of yourself as the proprietor? You're the guy in the store, and one person has to top the three of them. ”

Gan Lei blinked, unable to say a word, Guo Song smiled dumbly and said: "Actually, it's good to quit three locals, and the other three can stay in the store at night to watch the shop." ”

Li Wenyu shook his head, "Senior Brother Guo, you are mistaken, I am going to leave three Chang'an locals, especially the leading Jiang Feng, who is very self-righteous, this kind of person will bully the master, and I can't keep him." ”

"Then why keep three natives?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

"They can go home every day, and we live in the backyard at night, and there are six rooms in the backyard, which is enough for our family of three.

Guo Song was stunned, "What about the house in Xuanyangfang?" ”

"You live by yourself! What else can I do? Otherwise, if you rent it, at least twenty times a month, I've inquired about it. ”

Guo Song thought about it, then nodded and agreed, "It's really hard to run back and forth from Xuanyangfang to the West Market every day, so be it!" I will give you fifty yuan a month for your husband and wife, and deduct it from my share, and you will hire a maid to help take care of the children, cook and so on, and once the shop is busy, you will not have time to take care of the children. ”

Guo Song immediately put the 1,000 guan money for selling beautiful jade and 1,000 guan for selling white tiger skins, a total of 2,000 guan in the store as working capital.

Early the next morning, Guo Song and Lu Dongzhu went to the Fuping County Wine Shop to replace the owner, and completed the last step of the transaction.

In the evening, Guo Song paced to the wine shop, today is the first day that Gan Lei and his wife took over the wine shop, the two of them were so busy that they temporarily invited an old mother to help them take care of the children.

Li Wenyu personally took his men to deliver wine, visited the restaurant one by one, and in the evening, he was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart, Li Wenyu was still reading the account book at the table, and Gan Lei was busy cooking in the backyard.

There are only three men left in the shop, they are all locals, and now they have gone home separately, and at this time the West Market has been deserted, and the city gate will soon be closed, and only a small door remains, mainly for the owners of the shops who live in the West Market.

"Senior sister hasn't eaten yet?" Guo Song walked into the store and asked with a smile.

"Your senior brother is cooking in the back!"

Li Wenyu put down his pen and said: "I sent one hundred and fifty stone wine today, and tomorrow I have to send all the remaining fifty stone wine, and your senior brother will go to Fuping County to buy goods, as the surname Lu said, the wine money is settled on the spot, and I pulled two big carts of copper coins back today." ”

"Senior sister seems to be a little dissatisfied with the previous owner?" Guo Song heard the annoyance in Li Wenyu's tone.

"I did a thousand calculations, or he was pitted, he converted the inventory in the store to us, I didn't react, today when I delivered the goods, I found out that he actually used the market price of the restaurant to convert, but we have to pay three discounts on the delivery price, which is equal to the loss of three percent of the five hundred stone wine, at least five hundred yuan."

Guo Song was stunned, he didn't seem to notice this problem at that time.

Li Wenyu sneered and said: "This is called evil retribution, he cheated us once, but in the end he himself lost a thousand yuan." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Today I sent 50 yuan of ice drink money to the officials of the city department, this is the rule, ice drink money in summer, charcoal salary in winter, every store is indispensable, the official of the city bureau told me that the surname Lu also has a rental deposit of 1,000 yuan in the city office, he forgot to return it, the shopkeeper changed, the 1,000 yuan deposit is ours, I originally wanted to return it to him, but now I don't want to give it to him, I dare to give the old lady eye medicine, when I Li Wenyu is easy to provoke?"

In the end, Li Wenyu actually forgot that it was Guo Song who was standing opposite, and the momentum of the head of the family was habitually revealed.

"Senior brother is here, just have dinner together!"

Gan Lei walked in from the back door with a meal, Li Wenyu's face flushed, and she realized that she didn't control what she had just said.

Guo Song sat down with a smile, "I've eaten, you guys eat!" I'll draw you a picture later. ”
