Early the next morning, Guo Song came to Jinchangfang Qingxuguan, he now does not live in Qingxuguan, first, Ganlei's family lives in the store, does not live in his house, it is a pity that it is empty.

The second is that there are several Taoist priests from other places who live in the guest courtyard of Qingxuguan, chanting scriptures day and night, which makes him very annoying.

Guo Song came to Qingxuguan and happened to meet Gan Feng, the senior brother who came back from doing something outside.

"Little junior brother, why didn't you move away without saying a word?"

When Gan Feng met, he complained: "You think those guys are noisy, I'll just drive them away." ”

"Senior brother, I'm no longer a Taoist priest, and it's not convenient to live in a Taoist temple all the time."

"Nonsense! When the imperial court held a martial arts, our Taoist temple was not full of samurai from all over the world? After living for a few months, I haven't seen any inconvenience, do you think that the food is too light, and there are no big fish and meat? ”

"Senior brother, I'll tell you the reason slowly in the future, in short, I'm for the good of Taoism."

Gan Feng was about to walk into the Taoist temple, but Guo Song grabbed him, "Senior brother, let's take a look here." ”

"See what?"

"Just come here!"

Guo Song dragged Ganfeng to the west of the Taoist temple, the west of the Taoist temple is a small river, there is an abandoned city god temple on the other side of the river, there was a fire, the city god temple was burned down, now it is overgrown with weeds, together with the surrounding open space, the city god temple covers an area of fifteen acres, which is much larger than their three acres of Qingxuguan.

Guo Song pointed to the City God Temple and asked, "Senior brother, can I buy the land of the City God Temple?" ”

"That's the land of the government, you can't build houses, you can't build shops, and you don't sell it to private individuals, if I could buy it, I would have bought it a long time ago, that land is much cheaper than the land of our Golden Body Pavilion."

"Really not for sale?"

"Actually, it's not that you don't sell it, if you are a relative of the emperor, it's too late for the government to tie up, but the emperor's relatives don't look down on the land here, and they think that they are all poor."

"Then tell me first, how much does it cost to buy it?"

Gan Feng thought for a while and said: "The residential land of Jinchangfang is inferior land in Chang'an, about 400 guan per mu, like this kind of official land that cannot build houses and shops is cheaper, and it is slightly more expensive than the farmland outside the city, I estimate that it is thirty or forty guan per mu, and that land is fifteen acres, almost five hundred guan money!" ”

"I want to buy it and expand it."

Gan Feng was taken aback, "Senior brother, I have already bought five acres of land in the back, adding up to eight acres of land, which is not small." ”

"Senior brother, if it weren't for the sake of worshipping Master's golden body, I wouldn't have bothered to bother with this spirit, once Master's golden body is enshrined, there will definitely be an endless stream of pilgrims coming from all over the world, can a Taoist temple of eight acres of land be accommodated? To tell the truth, I still feel too small for a Taoist temple of more than 20 acres of land, at least 50 acres is enough. ”

Gan Feng said with shame: "It's still senior brother who thinks long-term, but my vision is still a little narrower, hey!" I'm really useless as a big brother. ”

Guo Song hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't say this, the five disciples of the master, only you are the only one who has taken refuge in the Daomen, take over the mantle of the master, so that the pure and void view will not be dispersed, so that the master's golden body will be accompanied by someone, we only have heartfelt gratitude to you, as for the cultivation of the Taoist, it is a matter of ability, and those who can work hard, this is the duty of being a disciple." ”

Gan Feng sighed, "But how to persuade the government to sell the land, does the junior brother have connections?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly, "Senior brother has been in the capital for so long, I don't know that we still have a senior aunt?" ”

Gan Feng hesitated and asked, "Senior brother is talking about Aunt Gongsun, she is also in the capital?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I saw her today, but seeing her may not be a good thing, she will become the target of revenge from Yu Chaoen and others, I guess that's why she didn't come to disturb Senior Brother." ”

Gan Feng's face turned white with fright, once he was targeted by Yu Chaoen, the Taoist priests of Qingxuguan didn't want to live.

Guo Song patted him on the shoulder, "I won't let Qingxuguan get involved in this kind of court struggle, I will ask Uncle An for help in the affairs of the government, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Gan Feng nodded silently, he now understands why his junior brother moved out to live, and he also understands why Ganyu suddenly disappeared, it is estimated that it is all related to this senior aunt.

On the contrary, he and Gan Lei are not involved in martial arts, but can live a peaceful and quiet life.

Guo Song took out a flying money and half a jade pendant from his arms, flying money is a kind of deposit certificate issued by the cabinet in the Tang Dynasty, the cabinet is the earliest bank in history, it arose in the Kaiyuan period, depositing valuables and money for customers, and there are branches in large cabinet shops all over the country, so that you can save money and withdraw money in different places, which is very convenient for merchants.

The counter will issue a deposit certificate, called Flying Money, and then agree with the customer on a withdrawal code, which is equivalent to a withdrawal password, and the most used is half a jade or half a copper coin.

Guo Song handed the flying money and half a piece of jade to Gan Feng, "This is the three thousand flying money of Baofeng Cabinet Fang, after I opened up the relationship, the senior brother is responsible for buying land and cultivating Taoist temples, and it must be repaired according to the standards of Xuanhu Palace, try to be as grand as possible, the money is not enough, I will find a way, our Qingxu Temple of Kongtong Mountain was razed to the ground, I swore at that time, I must rebuild the scenery of Qingxu Temple." ”

Gan Feng took the flying money and jade pendant, and said slowly: "I will definitely do my best to realize my junior brother's wish." ”

At this time, Xiaodao Tong Qingfeng ran over and shouted to Guo Song from afar: "Little uncle, the third uncle is here, saying that there is something urgent to find you." ”

Brother Guo immediately guessed that there must be news of distilled spirits.

"I know, let's go!"

When Guo Song and Gan Feng returned to the Taoist temple, they saw Gan Lei teaching a group of teachers and nephews, "How many times have I told you, if you want to call Uncle Zhang Lei, I am no longer a Taoist priest, don't call Uncle Gan Lei anymore." ”

Guo Song walked over and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I will also call you Zhang Lei in the future!" ”

"Of course it's best, maybe you just call me Lao Zhang, that's what my wife calls me."

Guo Song scratched his head, "But every time I hear my sister-in-law call you fat!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter and shouted in unison: "Uncle Zhang is afraid of Nei! ”

The Taoist priests scattered and ran away.

"You bunnies!"

Gan Lei, no, it should be called Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei was so angry that his face was flushed, so he had to complain to Guo Song in a low voice: "Senior brother, can you save me some face?" ”

Guo Song glared at him, "Do you think that these teachers and nephews don't know that you are afraid of your wife, you have to fight for yourself, and your wife will be afraid of you." ”

"I'm very competitive now, these days I study and purify every night, and I stay up until midnight to sleep, is it easy for me?"

"Looks like there's a catch!"

Zhang Lei frowned and smiled: "I finally succeeded last night, in your room!" ”

Guo Song said hello to Gan Feng, and hurried to his room with Zhang Lei.

Although Guo Song does not live in Qingxuguan, his room is still kept, and he will occasionally come to live.

Walking into the room, I saw a thin-necked wine bottle on the table, up to two catties of wine, the wine bottle was plugged tightly with a wooden stopper, Guo Song pulled out the wooden stopper, smelled it, the wine smelled strong, and it should be purified well.

He poured another small glass, and the wine was very clear and transparent, and it turned into sake.

Guo Song tasted the alcohol, almost about sixty degrees, and he smiled at Zhang Lei, who was looking forward to it: "I'm afraid this is the first strong liquor in the world!" ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Lei asked expectantly.

"It's not bad, it's qualified."

Zhang Lei was overjoyed and couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh.

"Senior brother, don't you know, this is thanks to my mother's teaching, I purified a bucket of wine twice yesterday, and got three catties of alcohol, I think it's good, but the lady said no, let me purify three catties of alcohol again, and finally purify three catties into one catty."

Guo Song felt that this thing was really incurable, people said that husbands and sons, and teaching them to be good refers to their sons, but he was complacent and afraid of his bones.

Guo Song didn't bother to talk about him anymore, and asked again: "How much has you purified now?" ”

"I purified so much last night, I didn't dare to do more, you passed here, I'll throw off my arms tonight and burn it for twenty catties."

Guo Song was also excited, and immediately said, "Let's go now, let's go to the wine shop!" ”

Guo Song and Zhang Lei rode to the wine shop, the first batch of wine in the wine store has been delivered in the past two days, they usually deliver wine once every ten days, and they are busy for a few days, usually doing retail business, just a little free.

Of course, this has nothing to do with their big customers, only more than 40 restaurants, you must not think that the restaurant only enters the wine of one wine shop, in fact, each restaurant has several wine suppliers, evenly spread, a restaurant can not sell much.

If hundreds of restaurants in Chang'an eat their wine, then they will be busy and dizzy, and the guys will have to recruit at least a dozen.

Then again, if you really become a famous wine merchant in Chang'an, how can the previous owner transfer the wine shop?

When the two came to the liquor store, a family happened to come to buy wine, they bought 20 catties of aged sake, and rushed away.

Li Wenyu smiled at Guo Song and said: "This family gave birth to a son, so they came to buy twenty catties of wine and bury it in the ground, and then take it out to celebrate after passing the martial arts examination in the future." ”

Guo Song shook his head and said: "In the future, our aged sake will not be sold, listen to me, it will be a pity to sell it." ”

Li Wenyu was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Let's go to the back and talk!"

The three of them came to the backyard, Guo Song closed the door, and said to Zhang Lei and his wife: "The purification is good, so it's okay, the next step is to blend, I thought about it, let's use the aged sake as the base wine, according to one to five to blend, one pound of alcohol to five pounds of aged sake, and put a little spice appropriately." ”

"Wait!"

Zhang Lei interrupted Guo Song's words, "You make it clear, what spices do you put in detail?" How much to put? ”

"I see that the spice shop has a kind of osmanthus slurry made of honey soaked osmanthus, just use it, three coins in six catties of wine is enough, but pay attention to remove impurities, we are selling sake, there can be no obvious impurities."

Li Wenyu thought for a while and said, "The name of that wine can't be called Fuping Chun anymore!" ”

Guo Song took a piece of paper and wrote two names, one is 'Meishou Wine' and the other is 'Pingliang Burning Spring'.

"Let's make two kinds of wine, one is the Meishou wine blended with aged sake, this wine we have to sell for ten yuan a catty, can not be produced in large quantities, to be scarce is expensive, Meishou wine is a signboard, with this signboard, we usually sell turbid wine has a market, we still have to make money by going to the volume, but also to add a little alcohol into it, which makes people feel different from other people's wine."

"You mean that the wine you usually sell will be renamed Pingliang Spring Wine in the future?"

"That's what I think about, and you'll decide for yourselves."

Li Wenyu pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay to change the name, but it doesn't have to be called Pingliang Spring Wine, I'm sure that if Meishou Wine is famous, it is guaranteed that every wine shop and every restaurant is selling Meishou Wine, but we ourselves don't sell Meishou Wine, wouldn't it become a joke?" ”

Guo Song is ashamed, in terms of familiarity with the market, she is really not as good as Li Wenyu, she sees it more thoroughly than herself, there is no patent protection in the Tang Dynasty, just rely on word of mouth, ten yuan and a pound of wine, you can buy it for twenty yuan, and fools know that it is fake.

Therefore, the name of the store must be protected, the name of the Meishou wine shop, Chang'an is the only one, there is no semicolon, Chang'an restaurant into the Meishou wine, the first choice of the Meishou wine shop.

Guo Song immediately clapped his head and said: "Then it's called Meishou Wine and Meishou Spring Wine, I will go back and ask the emperor to write us the name of the store, I think who dares to take the same store name as us?" ”

Zhang Lei blinked his small eyes, "Senior brother, I heard you right!" You asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to write us the name of the store? ”

"Senior brother thinks it's strange? I'll tell you, the white tiger skin was sold to him in the end. ”

"Ahh

Zhang Lei opened his mouth wide in shock and sold the stolen goods to the original owner, what is this called?
