Chapter 63: Red Mountain Town

Xu Qing was dragged by several women to walk around the house just now they heard a lot of Xu Qing's troubles, and then he was asked to show up and identify the "crime" scene.

Coming down from the room where Xun Xue'er used to live, Xu Qing happened to meet Liu San and come back. Liu San said to Xu Qing: "Why did the young master come out, it's strange cold outside." ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, I haven't seen my former residence for a long time, and I miss it a little." Saying that, Xu Qing turned his head to the girls and said, "Go play by yourself, Xiaoyue is familiar with this place......"

Only Xu Qing had something to discuss, but they couldn't help much, so they left. Seeing this, Liu San quietly asked, "Young Master, where did those two women come from?" ”

Liu Sanzhi is naturally Huang Shimei and Luo Xiuxiu.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "One is everyone's daughter, and the other is a girl of different races." Liu San, you know my temper, Xue'er will be the same as them in the future, don't favor anyone in any service, and don't miss anyone. ”

Liu San hurriedly nodded and agreed: "That's naturally just the main mother here, I'm not good ......"

The master mother is here, and as a subordinate, she naturally has to be indifferent to other "concubines". Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I want to ask about Hongshan Town, do you know in detail?" ”

Liu San paused for a moment and asked, "Young Master hasn't been to Hongshan Town yet?" ”

Xu Qing returned with a smile: "I haven't been to this house that I entered directly from Luonan." ”

When Liu San heard this, he seemed to have gained great honor, and said with a smile: "Then I am the first person to see the young master, hahaha, Old Man Zheng and Old Man Xun lost a move to me this time!" ”

Xu Qing shook his head, but he just saw him first, and there was nothing to win or lose. Liu San asked with a smile: "Young Master, you don't know that Old Man Zheng and Old Man Xun also live in Xuzhuang, right?" ”

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "No, Liu Long and Liu Hu have already told me." ”

Liu San was slightly disappointed, and patted his chest again: "Young master, although I don't interfere in Hongshan Town, I still know its operation, scale, and profit and loss." What does the young master want to hear, is it a business matter, or a short novelty in the parents? ”

Xu Qingxin said, I don't know a few parents in Hongshan Town who can inquire, so he said: "Let's talk about the business in the past two years......

"Well, young master, there is still an unextinguished fire in my room, it's warm there, go there and talk about it."

"Okay, talk while walking......" Xu Qing listened to Liu Long and Liu Hu's words before, and he wanted to know more and more about the development of Hongshan Town.

Liu San cleared his throat, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "After the young master goes to Hebei, everything at home will be taken care of by me, Old Man Xun, Old Man Zheng and Yang Wen. ”

"There are ten taels of silver, and it needs the mutual consent of several of us to do it. Later, Yang Wen mentioned a few things, but we felt that it was too risky, so we didn't agree. But later, it turned out that what Yang Wen said was indeed a great opportunity to make a fortune, and we missed it. ”

"After a few times, people felt that this way of doing things was not good. Because except for Yang Wen, the three of us don't know anything about taking care of family finances. So we got together to discuss, and Yang Cheng reported his income and expenditure on a monthly basis, as long as the profit was enough, we would not hinder his plan. He can set up a factory, or expand the street. Hey, there is more money in the account every time, we don't believe it, take the time to go to the treasury to check. That fellow, the copper coins were filled with two large warehouses, and many of them were converted into silver and stored in gold. Now we were convinced, and changed to a semi-annual report. ”

"I and Mr. Zheng live in Xuzhuang with peace of mind. The pig is castrated, I'll go and take a look, threshing, and the two of them will go and see. Hey, speaking of the factory, this is how Hongshan Town really got rich. Young master, do you remember the Lu family? ”

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Well, I know, the Lu family gave me a few carts of farm tools, which had a great effect." ”

Liu San continued: "Well, it's the Lu family, didn't they ask for the young master's secret recipe for rock sugar gourd, and later, the little people didn't know where to learn that set." The workshop run by the Lu family went bankrupt, and Yang Wen saw the opportunity and bought it for a small amount of money. ”

After buying it, Yang Wen changed a small method, and continued to make rock sugar gourds, but also continued to launch other foods. For example, he used the young master's fried rice and the maltose he bought, and then slapped it into cubes. As soon as it is sold, it is directly out of stock. Yang Wen took the opportunity to sell to other states and counties, and also printed the word "Xu Ji" on the sugar and packaging. When it was first sold, all counties rushed it, but later, although the common people studied it, they were able to make their own. There are also imitations to sell, but those who are slightly rich, but the middle households and above only recognize the word "Xu Ji". Therefore, for so long, there have been continuous orders, and I heard that it has been sold to Luoyang recently. ”

"Yang Wen has a flexible brain, and he has launched several kinds of sugar food, which are also produced by Xu Ji and are very popular." Speaking of this, a burst of light appeared in Liu San's eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out some boxes from the cabinet next to him.

When I opened the box, it was fried rice sugar, Xu Qing tasted a piece, and it was really good, the aroma of fried rice and the sweetness of maltose happened to be mixed together, and it was not sticky to the teeth and had no burnt taste.

Liu Sanle said: "Just for this sugar, there are three more factories in Hongshan Town, and there are 100 carpenters for this wooden box alone!" ”

Xu Qing said dumbly: "So many, where did the carpenter come from?" ”

Liu San sighed and said: "At the beginning, there weren't many carpenters, but Yang Wen's salary was too much, so some later students squeezed their heads and went in to learn." To this day, there are a few hundred and ten carpenters there every day. ”

Xu Qing suddenly said: "I see, what about the others, Liu Long and Liu Hu said that Hongshan Town is more lively than the county government, just with this sugar?" ”

Liu San looked unhappy and scolded lightly, the two stinky boys can't learn words. Liu San explained: "Young master, where is that, Hongshan Town is obviously more than ten times more lively in this county!" ”

Xu Qing was shocked again, and hurriedly asked: "Yang Wen, what is it to attract so many people, isn't it that you have increased taxes and gone to business?" ”

"Where, the young master misunderstood," Liu San said slowly: "Yang Wen said, our Luonan territory is small, there are not many people, even if we do the first money-making business, there is no money, so ah, he contacted the people in Chang'an, that is, the immortal brewed ......."

"Immortal brew?" Xu Qing asked, "Could it be that Luo Nan also set up a factory for immortal brewing?" ”

"No, the people over there in Chang'an didn't tell the secret recipe and machine method, and the matter was not done." Liu Sandao: "In the end, Yang Wen saw that Xianren Brew was very popular in Luoyang, but the road was too far, and merchants were reluctant to buy it. Yang Wen asked Chang'an to send hundreds of altars over every month as a consignment ......"
