Chapter Seventy-Seven: Doing a Little Business (3)

For the sake of the distillery, Xu Qing specially asked someone to help him take half a month off, and the busy work of more than ten days was finally not in vain, from the purchase of materials, fermentation, extraction of puree, distillation, and altar loading, a series of process steps are like flowing water to continuously make distilled spirits. It's just that the existing distilled liquor is steamed out of the purchased puree liquor, and the first batch to come to the store is only 200 catties.

With a low-key opening, Xu Qing personally looked at the cabinet. Xu Qing's personal inspection of the cabinet is okay, but don't expect him to do things in person, he just sits on the side and observes, and it is others who really do things. But wait for two hours, but no one comes, and the good wine is not afraid of deep alleys? Xu Qing had an idea, called Xiao Er, and told him: "Xiao Er, you go to a jar of spirits, go and pour three bowls on the street, and pour three bowls every morning, noon and evening for the next three days. ”

"......" Xiao Er responded, and when he poured wine on the street, he also shouted a few words of Qin dialect to show his respect for the "wine fairy". Xu Qing looked at it and nodded, this wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, and it has to be incense, I'm afraid someone will come over to ask.

"Huh? Where is the smell of wine coming from......"

"Yes, yes, I smell it too, did it break the jar?"

"This wine feels different, you say?"

"The aroma of this wine seems to be wafting from afar, what kind of good wine can drift so far!"

"Let's take a walk, look for ......"

At this time, there were already a lot of people around the door of the Jiuxian Brewing Shop, and there was a lot of discussion in the crowd:

"Such a good wine, I actually poured ......," an old man said with great regret as he looked at the marks left by the three bowls of wine on the ground, and smacked his tongue.

"It's been a quarter of an hour to fall to the ground, why is it still so fragrant!" A man has been standing here for a long time, as if he can't walk after smelling the wine.

"Ahh The smell is too good to stand. Another man said with a big sneeze.

There are more and more people, and those who have spare money start to inquire about the price:

"Xiao Er, how do you sell this wine?"

"This guest officer, this wine is ten cents and one pound, and on the first day today, it only costs six cents!" Xiao Er returned, and this discount sale was naturally what Xu Qing asked him to say. Distilled liquor has less requirements for raw materials, but the consumption is more, and the cost of a pound of liquor is less than three cents, which is slightly more expensive than the original puree wine, so the liquor of six cents is only one penny more expensive than the general price.

"Tsk, this wine is expensive...... someone shook their heads, but some people still think it's expensive and have to buy it and taste it, and said: "You are too expensive, I am not too expensive, Xiao Er is half a catty of wine, put it in that bowl, I want to taste it now......"

"Okay, I'll be here right away~" Xiao Er enthusiastically went to beat half a catty, filled three bowls, took the tray and walked out.

"Hurry up, let me taste it......" The man couldn't wait to take a bowl of wine, and after a sip, his stomach was hot, his mouth was fragrant, and his whole body seemed to be carefully kneaded, and he sighed: "Good wine!" The remaining two bowls were proudly distributed to a few people who knew each other, and the people who ate the wine also praised them in unison, "Good wine!" ”。

"Give me a pound, don't mix with water!"

"I also want a pound, the cash is here!"

"I want ten pounds, sixty wen a lot of ......"

"Why did you buy so much, go back and drink you to death!"

"I'm willing, hehe......"

With someone taking the lead, after a while, a small half of the 200 catties of wine were sold, and after noon, the wine that was originally intended to be sold for three days was only twenty or thirty catties left, and before it got dark, the sold-out brand was hung high.

"Not bad, it seems to be a good way to make money...... Xu Qing rewarded the two juniors, and then returned to the winery and encouraged him again. Then I said to the housekeeper sent by Li Shiji, and started to be the shopkeeper with peace of mind, anyway, I am here every day, and I can deal with problems in time.

Jiuxian Brew has begun to become famous, and many ordinary people have begun to respect Jiuxian Brew for drinking. Every morning, many people wait here early in the morning, and as soon as the door opens, it starts to sell out in less than an hour. When the output of Xu Qing's winery began to rise, the business of other hotels was getting worse and worse day by day, and no one bought the price reduction. On Xu Qing's side, the supply exceeded demand, and the price was increased several times, and a pound of wine was sold for 20 yuan, which was a 500% profit.

Later, Jiuxian Brewing negotiated cooperation with several original liquor workshops, directly purchased a large amount of raw liquor for distillation and processing, and the original distillery became a distillery specializing in the production and supply of alcohol raw materials for the imperial court. Xu Qing, the shopkeeper, is over, and he still has to go to work to check in.

The Taiyi Department, not only an ancient medical institution, but also a medical education institution, was founded in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties were complete, the Tang Dynasty's Taiyi Department is known to be the earliest in the history of the world, the largest medical school, the most prosperous, there are more than 3,000 teachers and students in the school, and the Taixue Guozijian also has a comparison.

There are two departments of medicine and pharmacy in the Tai Medical Department. Under the Faculty of Medicine, there are four departments: Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage, and Curses. The Tang Dynasty Imperial Medical Department not only had a clear division of subjects, but also a strict examination system. When students enter the school, "the examination is used as the Guozijian", and the examination will be held every month, quarter, and year after admission, "the doctor's monthly examination, the Taiyi Lingcheng season examination, and the Taichang Temple year-end general examination". According to the quality of the examination results, there are clear rewards and punishments: "If the karmic skills are better than the current officials, they will be replaced; Those who have not succeeded in nine years of study will retreat to their true colors. ”

There are two people in the Imperial Doctor's Department, and Xu Qing is one of them.

Xu Qing was wearing a cyan official uniform, paced into the Imperial Medical Department, and saw that the people from the Imperial Medical Department were gathering together to write books, and they didn't know what they were doing.

"This lord, the Imperial Medical Department is now undergoing an assessment, outsiders can't disturb it, please forgive me......" An old man stopped Xu Qing.

"Oh? Can't I read the assessment of the Tai Yi Department as a Tai Yi order? Xu Qing smiled and asked rhetorically, in the Tang Dynasty, all of them were green cloth shirts below the sixth grade, and there was no big difference, so the old man would not see Xu Qing's official position from the clothes, and Xu Qing was not angry.

"My lord, you're joking, the Imperial Doctor is not as young as you, and besides, the Imperial Doctor Department still doesn't have a Imperial Doctor Order......" The old man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"No Imperial Doctor's Order? Won't it......" Xu Qing took out the appointment document from his pocket, looked left and right, yes, it was the imperial doctor's order, Xu Qing handed the document to the old man suspiciously. After seeing it, the old man hurriedly said goodbye, and shouted to the students who were taking the exam: "The imperial doctor ordered Lord Xu to inspect the examination room!" ”

"What? When did you get more medical orders? ”

"I don't know, I look so young, how did I become a doctor?"

"Hmph, it's not just a royal family that comes to paste gold!"

"It's a pity that I take the exam once a year, taste all the medicines, see all the diseases, and it's not as good as other people's births!"

"Yes, yes, what Brother Tai said is reasonable, I can't compare to them after all......"

When Xu Qing heard these discussions, he couldn't help but laugh, do you really think I'm a nobleman? I also thought, why didn't this damn God let me travel to the prince and grandson! Xu Qing looked at the old man, and the old man showed a hint of a smile, obviously the "Imperial Doctor's Order is here" just now had a different meaning.
