Wei Renshi's words made Mrs. Tai show a look of reminiscence, thought for a while, and replied: "When I married your father for my mother, the Wei family was already in the middle. However, at that time, there were still 100 acres of fertile land, there were still several long-term workers in the family, a housekeeper, a few maidservants, and dozens of families thought they were farmers. ”

Mrs. Tai's words shocked Wei Renshi, and said in his heart, this cheap dad is too capable of losing the family, such a big foundation is now left with a few old houses and a few acres of thin fields?

But I heard Mrs. Tai say again: "You Ah Weng was even more powerful at that time, and half of Changgu belonged to our family." The residents in this Changgu, counting three generations ago, are all the villagers of our family and the Li family. It's just that you Ah Weng and your Ah Ye are full of energy and devote themselves to studying for the imperial examination, so they naturally can't take care of the affairs of the family. The fields in hand are also sold today and tomorrow. Some were sold to the original bankers, and some were sold to others. Both of them died early, and our family fell into what it is today. ”

Wei Renshi asked again: "Among the former family members and villagers, are there those who are very united with our family, and they are still alive now?" ”

Mrs. Tai frowned and asked, "What is my son asking for here?" ”

"Our family doesn't have enough manpower, and the child is a scholar, so some things are not very convenient to do." Wei Renshi said: "Therefore, I thought that if there was something reliable, I would call it back and use it." ”

Mrs. Tai shook her head and said, "They have all been released, how can they still be called back?"

"Is there a sake brewery among them?" Wei Renshi asked casually.

"Naturally, there is." Mrs. Tai recalled for a moment and said, "The family that your Ah Weng took in back then fled to Changgu, and your Ah Weng rented their land, and his family made wine while farming, and the wine you Ah Ye drank back then was also made by them. Later, when they were released and there was no land, their family went to Fuchang City to set up a shop and brew some turbid wine every day. ”

When Wei Renshi heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, isn't this God helping me!

Hurriedly asked again: "Then what is the character of this family?" In the past, you were still sincere to our family? ”

Mrs. Tai frowned and said, "What do I want to do?" ”

Seeing Mrs. Tai asking, Wei Renshi also told him all and said, "Our family has been in a bad place for many years. Now I've finally figured out that I want to make life at home again. Thinking about it, the only way to do business is to do business. I have a way to make money, but after all, I am a student, although I am not so strict with businessmen at the moment, but it will still affect my reputation after all. But for the sake of our family to live a good life, this business cannot be left undone. Therefore, I can only find a reliable person to walk to the surface. ”

"This ......," Mrs. Tai hesitated.

Wei Renshi said: "I have cooperated with the Jiao family in Fuchang City and started a seasoning business. I made a move, the Jiao family went out of the shop, and the dividends were divided into four or six accounts, and I was four and six. On the surface, this is the Jiao family's business, but in fact, there is also a share of my income secretly. In this way, I have gained both a profit and a reputation on the surface. This would be a relatively solid income, but the profit would still be small. The child knows the unique method of winemaking, but the court has a system of wine, and the child cannot make his own wine. If there is a guest as a wine owner, you can make wine and sell wine in its name, and my family will share some dividends with him. ”

"This ......," Mrs. Tai thought for a moment and said, "On the surface, no one will know that my son is doing business?" ”

"Ah Niang, do you know that which of the ministers of the DPRK and China does not have their own property? Don't you all do it in the name of the family and the subordinates? Wei Renshi said: "Don't say anything else, just talk about Chang'an's own family, is there no business in this family?" ”

Mrs. Tai thought about it, and finally said: "That family has a good character, and they only accepted the exemption at the end, and then they will help our family from time to time." It's just that his shop is also small, his income is small, and he doesn't receive much. But there is such a heart. But...... But now that people have been exempted, they are already white, how can they still come back to be a guest. ”

"As long as the character is reliable, why do you need to come back and be a banker?" Wei Renshi smiled confidently: "The child can make him the head of the brewing business in this Jinghua land." A-Niang, where is his shop now? ”

"The slave knows!" Xi'er replied beside him: "It's on the edge of Fuchang City!" ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "The wine they make is not bad, but they are too honest, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to live for so many years." ”

Wei Renshi persuaded Mrs. Tai, and his heart was relaxed.

Lying in bed at night, wondering how I should make this distilled spirit.

There are two prerequisites for distilled spirits, one is the problem of the distiller and the other is the problem of the distiller.

The former question, Wei Renshi felt that it was not a big problem. Since this winemaker used to be his own guest and was honest, he should be able to make sense. Being honest is not the same as being stupid, you should be able to see the benefits of distilled spirits and cooperate with yourself.

Wei Renshi has decided to do it alone, so if the wine owner is not his own customer, but his own winemaking business, then naturally the smaller the business, the better. The smaller the scale of the original business, the more places you can intervene, and correspondingly, the more you can occupy the distilled spirits business.

There should be a distiller at the moment, the emperor favors the alchemists, and there are many Taoist priests in the world who make alchemy, and they will all have distillers. Although these stills cannot be used directly, they should be able to meet the needs of distilled spirits after improvement.

Wei Renshi pondered all night, got up at dawn the next day, and went straight to Fuchang County with his son.

I didn't go to the winemaker's shop first, after all, in the early morning, Wei Renshi took Xi'er to eat first, passed by Wang Laohan's Hu Cake Shop, and found that his business was even better. And there was actually a small table and a hu table, and many diners sat there and drank soup with hu cakes.

As soon as he smelled the smell, Wei Renshi knew that there was broth.

I couldn't help but be happy, and walked over on my turns.

Wang Laohan changed the cauldron, in which the mutton soup was boiled, and the mutton was picked out and chopped and seasoned, and then sprinkled on the Hu cake and then roasted. By the way, he also scooped the soup out and cut it into the mutton, but he was selling mutton soup by learning Wei Renshi's technique that day.

Wei Ren said honestly that this old man was really not particular, and he still thought that he didn't want to cut off his business that day, so he deliberately left the remaining seasonings to him.

As a result, he also learned to sell mutton soup on his own. Although Wei Renshi himself doesn't plan to sell sheep soup, at least he can't say hello?

However, forget it, it is also a good thing that everyone can drink mutton soup in this way.

"Xi'er, find a place to sit and wait for me to scoop two bowls of soup to drink." Wei Renshi said to Xi'er.

Wei Renshi went over to line up, waited until he got closer, and said, "Two Hu cakes, two bowls of mutton soup." ”

"Okay!" Wang Laohan agreed, raised his head again, and when he saw that it was Wei Renshi, he immediately laughed on his face, and said, "I said that the voice is familiar, it turns out to be Wei Langjun!" ”

After that, without waiting for Wei Renshi to speak, Wang Laohan shouted back again: "Xiao Sui'er, Wei Langjun is here, quickly take out the things!" ”

Wei Renshi didn't know why, but saw Wang Xiaosuier running out from behind with a cloth bag, Wang Laohan took the cloth bag from her hand, and asked Wang Xiaosui to greet the diners there, and said to Wei Renshi: "Wei Langjun, this room please!" ”

Wei Renshi didn't know what he was going to do, and said, "Just sit outside, I haven't eaten yet, and I'm hungry." ”

"Good!" Wang Laohan followed Wei Renshi over, sat down at the table occupied by Xi'er, put the bowl in front of the two, and said, "Wei Langjun, while eating, listen to what the old man tells you." ”
