Chapter 61: The Qu Yu Agreement

Su oil also followed the local customs: "Ink, add another dose, it can be regarded as finalized." ”

Cheng Wen couldn't be more satisfied with the current ink, which is better than the one printed on the banknote, and couldn't help but wonder: "What else to add?" ”

Su You patted the booklet: "Aromatic! When you open the book, you will hear a faint fragrance, isn't it the icing on the cake? ”

Cheng Wenying gave a thumbs up: "Wonderful! ”

The Song people are also big connoisseurs of playing incense, such as the tea business in the entire southeast, only three points are silver money delivery, and the remaining seven points, three points are rhinos, and four points are incense, so naturally there is no need to worry about labor and oil.

On the other hand, Su You has to study hard, because this is one of the necessary knowledge for the daily communication of scholars and doctors in the future.

While eating, Su You began to inquire where rice koji was sold.

Cheng Wenying said: "Qu medicine is a servant, even if it is in the Sichuan Gorge, it is not exempt, it falls in Meishan City, and it is also a koji house with the winery, and if you want to buy it, you have to go there." ”

"Nephew is going to make wine? Otherwise, I am too lazy to wait for the autumn festival, and finish the work of the winery earlier, and give more money for one or two months, which can be regarded as a benefit to the county. ”

Su You smiled: "It's not winemaking, but the profit of such a thing is probably not worse than winemaking." ”

Cheng Wenying was surprised: "What is that?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Uncle in law knows me, and he likes to do everything in detail and finely." ”

Cheng Wenying thought about it for a while: "Vernier calipers, small micrometers, cloud steel, pattern steel, jade porcelain, snow salt, Yongchun dew...... Ha, it's really not fine or fine, the virtuous nephew is a trick to eat all over the world. ”

Banniang smiled: "There are also ink, stone paper, and porcelain seals, I know Uncle Xiao's routine!" There should be a pure - good for fine, good for fine, good for pure! ”

Cheng Wenying waved his hand to interrupt Banniang: "What's the use of knowing?" Who doesn't know that the finer the object, the better? How many can you get it? ”

Banniang stuck out her tongue, Cheng Wenying turned to Su You and said, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Su You said: "I'm going to extract the essence of the bean wheat paste!" ”

Cheng Wenying asked, "Is it really a good thing?" ”

"That's a good thing."

"How sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, this is the first time I've heard that my nephew is so confident, then we'll go to the yamen tomorrow!"

In later generations, there are not too many wineries in Sichuan, Qionglai, Qingshen, from the inlet of the Chishui River along the Yangtze River through Luzhou to Yibin, it can be said that the wineries are everywhere, and the craftsmanship is quite high.

Almost every town has a liquor workshop, producing all kinds of cane liquor, liquor, big koji, small koji, and sending them to all parts of the country for major distilleries to blend.

The materials include five grains, pure sorghum, corn, glutinous rice, rice, sweet potatoes......

The koji-making process of Sichuan liquor has been taken to the extreme by masters from all walks of life.

Even with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mash, these things have become a piece of cake.

Su You is a curious ghost, in the countryside with the brewing masters, the last distillation lees can only be said to be a small test, now he is naturally full of confidence, he knows a lot of methods of making koji, many of them are still intangible cultural heritage secret recipes.

That's why he dared to guarantee the ticket, and he was very sure.

As a result, when he arrived at the official wine shop, when he saw those gray-black loose songs, Su You couldn't help but feel very depressed, and said to Cheng Wenying in a low voice: "Uncle in-law, these koji medicines can't meet the requirements......"

Cheng Wenying knew the meaning of Su You at a glance, what my virtuous nephew made, which is not finely crafted, these grass-gray clod-like things, it is strange that they can be seen in the eye.

The tax supervisor is still triumphant: "This koji is worth two hundred wen a catty, five catties is consistent, and one hundred catties is just five hundred catties of koji." This time, we will try out the new policy on a trial basis, based on the number of last year. As long as you pay the full fee, you can get 500 catties of koji immediately. ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. You so-called koji medicine, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it at all!

Su You gave Cheng Wenying a color, and Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "Since the old man has taken over the winery, he naturally wants this koji, but the virtuous nephew is very dissatisfied with the things in your qufang......

The county and the tax supervisor looked at each other, what did Cheng Lao mean? This is a tacit agreement with the county order, you support the county order to complete the business of the winery, he is here to give you benefits, and then abandon us?

Su You said: "The original quality of the koji in the official wine workshop is too poor and it is really not suitable, so we have to find another way." Shaofu, if we develop koji medicine on our own, it may not be possible? ”

It's over, it's over, it's over! This is to mess around, to evade taxes, and to deceive the court! The first thing that the board is knocked down is the two of us!

Su You looked at the two of them who were mourning, and suddenly reacted: "Don't think too much about the two of you, I mean, in the future, our wine koji will be produced for our own use, but we can't lose the court." So is there a workaround? ”

"In this way, can you trouble the two of you to calculate the average net income of a single catty of koji in this official wine shop in recent years?"

"We deserve to pay for your earnings. In other words, although our koji is self-produced, for every catty of koji produced, we pay the tax superintendent the net income of one catty of koji. ”

"In this way, we get a higher quality koji, and the tax supervisor only needs to supervise, not to mention saving a lot of expenses, and also completing the political achievements of the specialists."

The tax superintendent didn't react: "Ah...... Yes? ”

The county Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, gave up his hand to Cheng Wenying, and said cautiously: "This method is feasible, not the process is old, can the tax supervisor and the county accounting room participate in the inspection together?" To prevent private sales and ensure the source of tax for the imperial court? ”

The fateful moment has come, if Cheng Wen should not agree, it is determined to evade taxes.

The county Cheng has already turned over countless thoughts in his heart in an instant, is it better to share the profits and make a fortune, or is it better to go to the transfer department to report and make some reputation? What are the benefits and consequences of each? I can't help but suffer from gains and losses, and my feelings are complicated.

Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "Of course you can, but the old man also has requirements: first, your supervision is limited to considering the amount of output, and you must not interfere in the affairs of my qufang; Second, our koji-making process is our own, and it has nothing to do with the official liquor koji room, and it must not be encroached upon for no reason. ”

There was a faint sense of loss in the heart of the county, in the final analysis, the old monk of Qiyun Temple said that he had no wealth fifty years ago, which seemed to be true.

But it's also a sigh of relief, at least this is not a thief ship that can capsize at any time.

Cleaning up the mood and smiling: "But according to Cheng Gong's orders." The higher the property in Guiqu, the more advantageous it is to the county. ”

Su You hurriedly said: "Yes, so there is another one, this annual output plan, we will arrange production according to demand, and the yamen should also let us do it independently, and we must not arbitrarily raise it." ”

The county couldn't help but hesitate again: "Cheng Gong...... Next year...... 500 catties of koji medicine...... See if you can give us a guarantee......

Cheng Wenying laughed: "Since the old man promised to take over the winery, it is not a small matter, you can rest assured in terms of output, how can it not be less than five hundred catties!"

The county Cheng was finally overjoyed, and said again and again: "Thank you Cheng Gong for this!" Next year's performance appraisal can finally be seen! ”

Coming out of the official wine workshop, Su You said to Cheng Wenying: "My uncle loves me, and my nephew is afraid, but what I said in advance is only wine, and now there is one more piece of koji, so it's another matter." ”

"My nephew thought about it, and in a familiar way, we each took some shares of the winery, and how about the proceeds?"

With the richest man in the local area as the backstage, it will be very easy to deal with all kinds of official affairs in the future, as long as you focus on the quality of the wine.

Cheng Wenying wanted to refuse, but remembering the smell of the jars of Yongchun dew at home, he really couldn't let go, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "That's fine, but my thirty percent, don't want money, just take good wine to offset it!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "If you have expenses, you will pay from the Cheng family's account first, and then slowly return it when the wine shop has profits." ”

He is more confident than Su You himself, Su You bowed down and said, "Nephew, thank you uncle." ”

When the matter is finalized, everyone is happy. The official winery should be complete in cellars, but the facilities are not complete, Su You estimated the scale of the winery, and muttered: "I have to trouble my apprentice again......

But things have to be done slowly, this side of the matter, Su You walked towards the Land Temple again.

Today, Su You is going to make a dish, and by the way, there will be a tasting meeting, and if possible, the future breakfast business will be it.

After helping the Shi family, the Shi family, and Mrs. Cheng extract the salt, she already had a lot of gallbladder pills in her hands.

When I came to the Land Temple, everyone had already started to work.

Liu Si's job during this period of time in the infrastructure construction team is to collect bamboo and assist Zhang Qi in digging clay, and now he comes to report his work: "Little master, I have a big pit for digging clay, according to your orders, I dig it well, but I don't know what it is for." ”

Su You said: "Oh, that's a thatched toilet, you put a board on it, make a few squatting positions, surround the outside with a bamboo wall, paste mud on the bamboo wall to deal with it first, and then build a thatched roof when you have time." ”

Liu Si smiled: "No wonder the little young master let us dig so far, it turned out to be so useful." ”

Su You said: "When the water recedes, open up a few vegetable beds on the river beach, and it is the most cost-effective to sell vegetables on the outskirts of the city." ”

Liu Si said: "Then I'll go." ”

Su You said: "Wait, remember that men and women are separated and made into two." Although this project is small, you must remember to draw drawings and design them first, and then bring them to me to see. ”

Liu Si scratched his head: "I will definitely not be able to do that kind of mechanism drawing of the little young master, but I think I can do it with these pillars and a few boards." ”
