After Qian Jin and Silkworm Niang tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, they were out of control.

Every night, he urged everyone to rest early, and when it was quiet at night, he sneaked into the silkworm girl's room to linger.

These days, the people in the courtyard have tacitly developed the habit of going to bed early. Every morning, Jin Taiming always greets with concern, "Brother, you have lost some weight recently." There are always boiled eggs in the breakfast, and I want to vomit when I eat it, and I want Wang to change the taste, she promised in her mouth, and she will boil the eggs the next morning.

Feeling the strange atmosphere of the courtyard, Qian Jin was a little helpless.

The courtyard is still too small, who knows if they waited for themselves to sneak into the silkworm girl's room and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. Qian Jin wondered if it was time to take Sister Hua out for a honeymoon.

Silkworm Niang rarely goes out these days, unless there is something urgent in Huajianfang.

Qian Jinguan always had a sadness between her eyebrows, so she always comforted; The silkworm girl just replied with a smile, but she only cared about sewing a sachet in her hand.

Qian Jin was afraid that she would accidentally stab her hand, so he didn't want to quarrel with her anymore.

…………

Soon after the Chinese Valentine's Day, the dresses and cheongsams launched by Huajianfang gradually became well-known, and received unexpected praise, and the number of people who made the clothes increased.

Qian Jin simply opened a branch next to the flower shop, and hired a shopkeeper and twenty men. From now on, silkworm girls don't have to do those hard jobs anymore.

One of the two storefronts makes cheongsams and the other makes dresses. After all, the audience for this cheongsam and dress is different, and women from large families disdain to buy clothes with official prostitutes.

The blended wine has been promoted in a small area in Chunfeng Building, and the response is not bad. Several wineries have privately approached Chunfeng Lou to inquire about the source of blended alcohol. Qian Jin had already instructed the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Building, and if anyone asked, he would ask them to go directly to a winery, and let Ding Wei handle the rest.

Ding Wei's business talent is okay, but this back and forth stunned made him negotiate two big deals. Two wineries in the capital, one is Yuquanfang and the other is Liu Lang Distillery, which purchase a total of 100,000 catties of blended alcohol from a winery every month, and the distilled raw solution is provided by themselves.

When Qian Jin heard the news, he couldn't help but applaud repeatedly. Calculated that he can earn a dozen yuan in OEM fees for a pound of wine, and twenty yuan is his exclusive profit, and he can earn thirty yuan for each pound of wine, and there is a net profit of three thousand taels in a month.

After Yuquanfang and Liu Lang Distillery paid the deposit, Qian Jin arranged for Ding Wei to go to an old distillery again. In the past few years, due to the ice and snow disaster, many old workshops have no grain to make wine, so they have cut off their livelihoods, so it is not difficult to buy a workshop.

As for the manpower, there are so many food in the capital, waiting for the customers to come to the door every day, and I heard that there is a wine shop recruiting workers, and I didn't say a word and picked up the family to follow.

At present, Huajian Fang and Youjian Distillery are doing their own business, and when they are stable, they can have a net profit of more than 4,000 taels of silver a month. Qian Jin is not too worried about others stealing or copying, it is impossible to prevent it, as long as he can run in front for a year and a half, he will win. As for the future, he never planned to do this business forever. If it happens to be a disaster year, no matter how greedy he is, he will not compete with the common people for rations to do this wine business.

In the blink of an eye, it is August, and it is the season of osmanthus fragrance.

Qian Jinren bought some blue and white porcelain wine jugs. The business of this winery is in full swing, and it is time for him to walk around the capital. The emperor also promised to invite him to drink good wine, but he never fulfilled it. Although the emperor sits on the world, there is naturally no shortage of good wine. But Qian Jin has always been a trustworthy person, and this promised thing is naturally to be done.

…………

At the beginning of the month, it rained lightly outside.

There was a wine shop that received more than 1,000 taels of silver, and as soon as Qian Jin was happy, he ordered Ding Wei and others to be invited back to the courtyard for dinner, and there was Fan Zheng, the new shopkeeper of the flower shop.

Fan is a native of Suzhou, in his forties, a very shrewd person, his family used to run a tailor's shop, and later because of a business offended the powerful, he fled to the capital to earn a living.

Qian Jin didn't look like a cheater, so he asked him to be the shopkeeper of the flower shop. During this time, Fan Zheng came to the courtyard every once in a while, and he had to lose money to enter and silkworm Niang's guidance, plus he used to do this business, so it didn't take long for him to comprehend the patterns of those clothes.

A room full of people sat still. Everyone is ready to get drunk today, so the ladies are all eating in the study next door.

Qian Jin saw that Fan Zheng was only sitting next to the stool, so he quipped: "Old Fan, don't you panic when you sit on the stool with half of your ass?" ”

Fan Zheng listened, and moved his ass to the middle of the stool again.

Qian Jin was most afraid that others would be ranked with him, but it would take some time to completely get rid of Lao Fan's stinky problem of being inferior and inferior, so he had to give up, and asked softly: "The family members have been arranged?" ”

"Thanks to the old man, I rented a house in the south of the city, and all the children in the family have already lived in it."

Qian Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Tomorrow Huajian Fang will be closed for a day, wait for you to taste more of Shopkeeper Ding's wine." ”

Ding Wei next to him put an arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old Fan, when you come to the master, just work with peace of mind, the master is a good person and will not treat you badly." Later, our brother will drink a few more, how about not getting drunk tonight? ”

Fan Zheng listened and nodded hurriedly.

Jin Taiming came to Yaxing today, and he actually wanted to pair up, but he shook his head with a wine jug and said: "Big boy, go up and down the street, go south to north to buy things." ”

Qian Jin is not interested in poetry and songs, let alone pairs. The others only knew a few words, so naturally no one responded.

Jin Taiming entertained himself, only to see him laugh and say: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to use 'young old man, sit on a sleeping chair, and read spring and autumn from winter solstice, summer, and spring and autumn'?" ”

After a period of silence, Qian Jin took the lead in laughing, and even said "That's right", and everyone agreed. If everyone doesn't react, it is estimated that they will have to see Jin Taiming's bitter gourd face later.

When the wine was half-drunk, Qian Jin hooked Jin Taiming's shoulder and said, "Brother Jin, is it more comfortable than going to Yunnan to be a post man now?" ”

"Needless to say. There are accounts of a winery and a flower shop, and it only takes three or five days for me, the bookkeeper, to complete it, and the rest of the time I can read and write books, how can I not be happy? ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? Brother Jin is writing a book, can you reveal a thing or two? ”

Jin Taiming stroked his beard and smiled: "Let me sell it first, and I will naturally know in the future." ”

Qian Jin was so whole by him, and he was a little unhappy. When he saw Jin Taiming's appearance, he thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Jin, I also have a pair here, I don't know if you are interested in pairing up?" ”

"Brother just go out of the upper link, if I can't get it right, how about punishing myself with three cups?" Jin Taiming was worried that no one responded, so he shouted with some excitement.

Qian Jin touched his nose and said with a smile: "Brother Jin is arrogant, this wine is in your stomach and intestines, and we will punish you with something else today...... If not, just tell me the title of your book, how about it? ”

"My brother is right." Jin Taiming is a conceited person, and he is already a little impatient at this time.

"Good! Let's listen to the couplet, 'freezing rain sprinkles the window, two o'clock in the east, three o'clock in the west'. This is an old pair, and Qian Jin already knows the answer. At this time, it happened to be raining lightly outside the house, and it was a bit of a situation, so Qian Jin moved in to take the gold table.

Jin Taiming's eyebrows were tightly locked, and after some hard thinking, he still didn't get anything. Qian Jin and a few people drank regardless of it.

When the banquet was about to disperse, Wang brought two plates of cut melons from the Western Regions to the table.

Qian Jin took a piece of melon and ate it crisply, and asked, "Brother Jin, is there already a link?" ”

"......" Jin Taiming's face turned red at the moment.

Qian Jin said with a smile: "Brother, I got inspiration when I was eating melons just now, so I used 'cutting and dividing customers, seven horizontal knives, eight vertical knives' to deal with it, how about it?" ”

Jin Taiming recalled it slightly, and praised: "Wonderful, 'freezing rain' vs. 'cutting melons', 'things' vs. 'horizontal and vertical', this situation is just right to deal with." ”

Qian Jin smiled awkwardly, this time he copied the ancients again, naturally he was a little invincible, so he changed the topic and asked, "Brother Jin, can you tell me the title of the book now." ”

Jin Taiming smiled wryly and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal to say it, I have nothing to do, so I wrote down some trivial things in the courtyard at ordinary times, and the title of the book is "The Story I Have to Tell with Zhuang Yuanlang". ”

Qian Jin didn't mind Jin Taiming writing articles by himself, and only asked: "Brother Jin writes books and sells them?" ”

"What if you sell it, and what if you don't sell it?"

"If I sell it in the market, I will divide fifty percent." With that, Qian Jin stretched out five fingers, and there was a green light in his eyes. Although both the winery and the tailoring are profitable, who is afraid of more money?

When Jin Taiming heard this, he sighed helplessly. My brother is good at everything, but he has some money in his eyes.

The feast was dispersed.

Qian Jin walked briskly, humming a little song that he was used to hearing in his previous life, and went straight to the silkworm girl's house.

Today he drank wine, and he became bolder, changing his usual sneaky style.

Naturally, the two will inevitably have a big fight.

In the early morning of the second day, Qian Jin turned over, and wanted to take the silkworm girl into his arms, but he groped for it but found that he was empty. He opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that the familiar figure was gone.
