Zheng Hui was not alone and came out of the city with an escort to visit.

In addition to a rather unruly young man, Zheng Hui also stood beside a burly old man in a green shirt, standing in the afterglow of the sunset, his face was thin and cold, and when he saw Han Qian leading everyone out, a smile appeared between his eyebrows in the blink of an eye.

"Han Qian has seen Mr. Shiraishi!"

Seeing this old man, Han Qian bowed down immediately.

Zheng Changnai is Zheng Hui's uncle, a Confucian in Huangzhou, and calls himself Mr. Yingshi.

When Han Qian sent his father Han Daoxun to Xuzhou, he was forced to stop in Huangzhou for two days to find out information because he was not clear about the distribution of Jiang bandits between Jiang and Hubei.

At that time, the rest of the Zheng family did not show up, but Zheng Chang, who had been friends in the past, rushed back to Huangzhou from the seclusion in the depths of the Anhui Mountains to entertain his father and son.

Even Mr. Zheng Chang, who has lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness for the past few years, came to Jinling, and Han Qian secretly felt that the movement of Zheng's children entering Jinling this time was really not small.

"Who is this brother?" Han Qian looked at the cold and arrogant young man beside Zheng Hui who was wearing leather armor and a saber around his waist on such a hot day, and asked.

"This is Zheng Xingxuan, the eldest son of my brother and Zheng Yu, the assassin of Huangzhou, who has to be recommended to the county palace at this time, and will be beside His Royal Highness."

"I've seen General Zheng!" Han Qian saluted Zheng Xingxuan with a kind face, the so-called deacon, is the deacon, Zheng Xingxuan, as the eldest son of Zheng Yu, the assassin of Huangzhou, served as a guard military attache in the county palace, plus Zheng Hui, this is undoubtedly a direct indication that the Zheng family will fully support the three princes to ascend the throne.

"In the future, I will rely on Lord Han to take care of me." Probably Han Qian's amiability was very surprising, and the young man bent down a little stiffly and saluted back.

"I don't know if Mr. Baishi came to Jinling this time, is it a call from His Majesty?" Han Qian led in front and asked Zheng Hui and Zheng Chang to go to the manor, and couldn't help but ask Zheng Chang.

Mr. Baishi's reputation Zheng Chang is even more prominent than his father, and even no worse than Zheng Yu, the head of the Zheng family, Emperor Tianyou has recruited him to the court as an official many times before, but he has not been summoned.

Han Qian thought in his heart that the senior official ranks of the County King's Mansion were already full, so he didn't know what position Emperor Tianyou would arrange Zheng Chang to outside the County King's Mansion to strengthen the power of the County King's Mansion.

"I'm used to being idle and wild, and I haven't been to Jinling for many years, and this time I came to Jinling to visit my old friends, and I heard Zheng Hui say that you can make good wine here, so I cheekily pulled Zheng Hui straight to beg for wine." Zheng Chang said.

"Baishi Gong is really polite, I have been idle these days, and I have figured out this steaming method, and I really want to have the opportunity to ask Baishi Gong for advice?" Han Qian said with a smile, he naturally didn't believe that Zheng Chang came to Jinling this time just to find his old friend, but Zheng Chang didn't want to say it at this time, guessing that maybe Zheng Chang's final recruitment and appointment still needed to be foreshadowed and brewed, and it hadn't been finalized at this time, right?

Zhao Ting'er's little head poked out from behind the alley at this time, and it was almost dark to peep, what kind of guests came to the courtyard.

Han Qian looked at Zhao Ting'er's head and wanted to retract it, and shouted pretending to be a commander: "You go to the steaming wine room, tell the steaming master to clean up decently, don't be rude to be shirtless, I will go over with Mr. Soseki in a while, so that I can ask Mr. Soseki in person how to make wine!" ”

Compared with the steaming room that Zheng Hui saw more than ten days ago, a new condensing tube and water absorber have been installed inside the steaming retort at this time, and the cold well water is continuously poured from the bottom to the top to condense the steam efficiently.

Han Qian asked Zhao Ting'er to rush to the steaming room first, remove the condensation tube and water absorber and hide them, which is the key technical means of the steaming method that Han Qian wants to hide.

Without such a thing, even if the Zheng family could steam a high-grade spirit, the cost would be at least twice as high as theirs.

Han Qian leaked part of the steaming method to the Zheng family, knowing that he had a useful intention, and he would not completely pass on the steaming method to the Zheng family.

Han Qian first invited Zheng Chang and Zheng Hui to sit down in the hall of the fine house, drank tea, and told Zhao Laoqi to prepare the wine banquet at night in person, for fear of losing the courtesy, and then took the Zheng people to visit the steaming wine room and asked Zheng Chang in person for advice on the method of winemaking.

Zheng Hui was somewhat absent-minded about the visit again, and after watching the flowers with Bai Shigong, he soon returned to the hall of the fine house and sat down.

"Lord Han dedicated the steaming wine method to His Royal Highness, when the clan uncle visited His Royal Highness yesterday, His Royal Highness had already given it to the clan uncle, saying that he hoped that the wine shop opened by the Zheng family in Jinling could make a truly peerless wine," Zheng Hui said at this time, and said, "This method was created by Lord Han, Zheng Hui didn't dare to forget, and specially brought some light gifts over, not much, ten Yi gold, and asked Lord Han to smile and accept ......it."

Ten yi, equivalent to two hundred and forty loaves of gold, is roughly worth nearly three million yuan.

Han Qian believed that the Zheng family had mastered the steaming recipe, but he didn't expect to be so generous and generous, which was really unexpected.

Han Qian was slightly stunned, leaned forward slightly, and saluted: "Lord Zheng is really polite, Han can only say that it is better to be respectful than to obey ......."

Officials like Wang Lin, who are new to the county palace, still have disdain for Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, but Zheng Hui led his troops to garrison Xichuan a few years ago and accepted Li Zhihe's moderation, so he saw Han Qian's many deeds with his own eyes.

Contacting the cottage forces, building a city in Canglang, and helping Li Zhihe defend the Iron Crocodile Ridge are all Han Qian's contributions, and when the three princes declared Xia Zhen guilty, Han Qian personally killed Xia Zhen and dismembered the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou.

And at least at this moment, Han Qian should have accurately predicted Liang Jun's intentions and general combat ideas. Not to mention that in the subsequent bloody battle of Xichuan, Han Qian personally formulated a strange strategy to lure and annihilate the elite of the Liang army and execute it by the Xuzhou prisoners.

After Zheng Hui took up his post next to the three princes, he also had a further understanding of "Epidemic Water Sparseness" and the preparation of the Dragon Bird Army.

Of course, Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son bet their chips on the three princes, because they had the ambition of being a strange thing, but Zheng Hui also had to secretly admire the calculations of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, who were able to play the three princes, a stinky card that no one was optimistic about, in two years.

In addition to the important blow to the local forces in Jingxiang this time, it is difficult to resist the Zheng family's dare not easily disobey the will of Emperor Tianyou, and the choice of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son is actually an important factor in Zheng's determination to enter Beijing in a big way this time.

Therefore, two hundred and forty loaves of gold are just a small kindness shown by the Zheng family.

Zheng Hui continued: "For the time being, Lord Han Zhuangzi has no official list of liquor, if there is a lot of Yandang Spring private drink, my Zheng family can buy it and sell it on behalf of him, and what the price of the wine should be, please ask Lord Han to set it." ”

Zheng Hui said this, which is actually equivalent to helping Han Qian sell the wild goose in the spring, and even if Zheng knows the steaming method, he has no intention of brewing privately.

Zhao Ting'er sat in front of the court serving tea, and at this moment she squeezed her eyebrows at Han Qian, laughing at Han Qian for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and just now she was busy in vain.

Han Qian groaned slightly, and said: "Yandangchun, I brew and drink it in private, and the village is such a big place, even if you have the heart, you can steam and brew an extra thousand catties of wine every month." If the Zhengjia Distillery is opened in Jinling, it will be sold to the Zhengjia Distillery for 500,000 yuan, so that Han Qian can also exchange some book money and meat money back every month. ”

Han Qian's offer was much lower than expected, and Zheng Hui was also slightly stunned, thinking that this was Han Qian's kindness to the Zheng family, and immediately handed over his hand to show that the deal was reached.

With the overnight banquet to send Zheng Hui, Zheng Chang and others away, Zhao Ting'er asked Han Qian puzzled: "The Zheng family has put on a posture of letting Gongzi slaughter as a favor, why is Gongzi soft-hearted?" ”

"When you squeezed your eyebrows at me when you served tea, did you laugh at me for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" Han Qian rubbed Zhao Ting'er's soft hair and asked.

"Childe is now a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he used to calculate everything about the Zheng family, but he didn't expect it to be all in vain, right?" Zhao Ting'er said coquettishly, seeing that Xi Ying was in the outhouse, she picked up Han Qian's hand from her head.

Han Qian smiled slightly, answered Zhao Ting'er's question just now, and said, "Yan Dangchun doesn't matter how much I make the price, the Zheng family will sell it at a higher price." At this time, my price is too high, firstly, it will only appear that I am too greedy, and secondly, the Zheng family does not expect to make profits from Yandangchun, their winery only needs to use Yandangchun to open the name in Jinling, so that it is convenient to sell other wines made by other wineries, I wish we set the price of Yandangchun's wine as high as possible, at this time you will find that the price of Yandangchun is too high, and in the end it will not sell much. ”

Jinling is a place where the powerful are concentrated, but the consumer group is also limited when the world's high-quality liquor is worth a pound, not to mention that the strong liquor has just come out, and the powerful have not yet developed the habit of drinking strong liquor.

Han Qian priced Yandangchun to two or three thousand yuan a catty, how much can he sell?

Zheng Hui's very generous representative Zheng said that in the future, he would only sell the Yandangchun produced here, and before the steaming method did not spread, the Zheng family would not make additional spirits, and their eyes were actually on the low-end liquor that Jinling City would drink tens of millions of catties every year.

That's where the wine farms compete the most.

This shows that the Zheng family has a very business-minded person behind the scenes.

Han Qian wanted to understand the Zheng family's affection, but he could guess what the Zheng family was thinking, and continued: "Also, we set the price of wine so low, and for the time being, we have completely eliminated the Zheng family's intention of brewing privately. Wait for the name of Yan Dangchun to go out, and the market can sell limited, although we will not break the rules to sell wine privately, but relatives and friends are in need, we send some out privately, these relatives and friends are always embarrassed to accept my wine for nothing, do not give a gift in return? ”

There is no condenser in the steamed wine retort, which is very different.

Without adding a condenser, the overflow consumption is too large, and it takes about six catties of grain to steam and brew one catty of high-grade wine; With the addition of the condenser, the consumption of wine and grain per catty of height is halved, and the cooking time can also be greatly reduced.

What's more, the village doesn't need to make its own koji liquor, but only needs to buy some ordinary low-alcohol miscellaneous liquor on the market for distillation and concentration, and even save the process of ditch blending.

A pound of wine sells for the Zheng family for 500 yuan, and Han Qian can earn nearly 400 yuan, he is really embarrassed to make more, he sells 1,000 catties every month, and it can offset the expenses of the sales of the Zhuangyuan.

Zhao Ting'er sneered and said, "Lord Zheng came to show goodwill, probably didn't expect that you were still calculating them so hard, right?" Behold, Childe's conscience is greatly broken. ”

"How do you know that my conscience is broken, have you seen it, or have you reached in and pulled it out?" Han Qian grabbed Zhao Ting'er's soft hand and asked with a smile.

"Phew!" Zhao Ting'er withdrew her little hand, glanced back at Xi Yi not far away, and then reached out and pinched Han Qian's waist, and complained, "Don't bully Ting'er!" ”
