Straight to the point.

Of the twenty-one thieves, seven were gluttonous worms who came purely to steal wine, three came to step on them, and the rest were all ......

"Commercial espionage?!"

Bai He listened to the little rascal's report, and was a little stunned in his heart. Although he had expected such a day, when it really happened, he still felt a little surprised, because it was too fast.

It's only the second day!

The liquor was taken to Lan Kwai Fong to test the market, and now it's the next day!

Although the little hooligan Li Yuanfang found out early, so he didn't cause any losses, but eleven commercial spies came the next day, so if it took ten days and half a month, wouldn't the winery really become a den of thieves? Fortunately, can we make good money?!

"No! Yuan Fang, I don't care what means you use, you must come up with a feasible plan in the future to prevent this situation from happening again! Otherwise, don't say that you won't have any alcohol from now on, if the Holy Queen is to blame, even I, the director, will probably have to drink the northwest wind! Bai He took the chicken feather as an arrow, knocked on the table and solemnly warned.

"Isn't it just a little thief, as for ......" The little rascal was a little unimpressed, but when he thought of the punishment of not drinking alcohol, he didn't dare to slack off, nodded and prepared to find a wall cat to think about how to prevent thieves. Suddenly turned around and asked, "Then how to deal with this group of thieves?" ”

Bai He was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "According to the practice of your Jianghu Supervision Department, how do you deal with it?" ”

"This ......," the little hooligan scratched his head and thought for a while, "chivalrous offenses are forbidden by martial arts, trespassing on people's houses, and being beaten with a cane for 30 years, or sentenced to imprisonment for three months to ten years, and abolishing martial arts." ”

"Abolishing martial arts is too heavy...... "Bai He has read a lot of martial arts novels in his previous life, and knows that for a martial artist, abolishing martial arts is simply more uncomfortable than death, and now they are just unsuccessful in stealing, so they will not be punished so heavily, let them have a longer memory if they are punished for thirty years......

was about to speak, but the little rascal suddenly added: "But the winery is not an ordinary residence, but a business under the name of the imperial court." Their actions can be convicted of attempting to steal court secrets, and according to the laws of the Great Zhou Jianghu, they can be executed on the spot! ”

Bai He was taken aback by these murderous words, and hurriedly waved his hand to persuade: "Killing people is too serious, after all, we only do business for money, not for anger." Besides, the official documents haven't come down yet, so it's not a business for the imperial court...... In this way, those who do not know will not sin, and the ten nameless thieves will be beaten with a rod for thirty, so that they can have a longer memory, and then they can be released. As for the other eleven, find out who is behind them and hang them to their respective doors as an example! - Well, remember to strip your clothes before hanging them, and add a notice next to them to explain their crimes...... Your Jianghu Supervision Department should have this power, right? ”

"This method is good, there must be power - I'll do it!" The little rascal suddenly smiled, and said in his heart that this old white is really too cheap, I really didn't follow the wrong person!

The Ministry of Supervision of the rivers and lakes, in fact, to put it bluntly, is also composed of people in the rivers and lakes, but it is just an official name, and it is "the claw of the imperial court" to put it mildly. In this case, if you want to talk to them about the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you don't want to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, then you can also do things according to the law, and no one dares to have an opinion. To put it bluntly: you can do whatever you want......

Of course, generally speaking, everyone is still more kind-hearted, and if they can talk about the rules, they will give priority to the rules, unless the other party is really heinous and has committed a serious crime of principle, such as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, adultery and plunder, etc., then you can justifiably use the "law" to arrest people. The so-called laws of the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are actually the official written rules of the rivers and lakes.

It's just that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes won't have the same bad taste as this little rascal, at least they won't take the stripped pigs as fun.

At that moment, the little rascal went out to run errands, and Bai He continued to be busy.

It's been another day.

Now that the experiment has been conducted for three days, the experimental plan set by Baihe that day has reached the final stage, and the winery has roughly come up with a preliminary production recipe. Then the rest depends on the master's excellence, and the process is passed on from generation to generation, and the accumulation.

In the evening, Dad Lan ended the day's business in Lan Kwai Fong and returned to the Lan family courtyard as usual. Shirakawa discussed with him and put prices on the various grades of wine. One of them has the foresight of two lifetimes, and the other has many years of business experience, and they quickly made a plan.

According to factors such as alcohol concentration, taste, and cost, they divided the batch of liquor they experimented with into five grades.

The fifth class is the second class, and its status in the wine is equivalent to today's green ant wine and turbid wine, one or two silver and a catty. That's right, it is 100 yuan a pound when converted to RMB.

The fourth equivalent price is doubled, two taels of silver a catty.

Third class, five taels and one catty.

The second class belongs to the category of high-quality products, which is a little more expensive, a thousand yuan a catty, that is, ten taels of silver.

As for the first class......

"First-class wine is not sold!" Bai He waved his hand and made a decisive conclusion.

"Not for sale?" Father Lan was shocked when he heard this, it stands to reason that wine can only reflect its value if it is sold, otherwise, no matter how much wine is put in the warehouse, it will be waste, so he asked: "Virtuous nephew, why don't you sell this kind of wine?" ”

"That's right, old white ......" Lan Qingming next to him was also curious: "If you don't sell the best wine, don't you want to use it to raise fish?" ”

"That's right, it's fish farming. Oh no, should I say fishing. Bai He said with a smile.

"Fishing?" Father and son spoke in unison.

"Well, put a long line and catch a big fish..."Bai He nodded, smiling meaningfully, "Rare things are expensive, second-class is already a high-quality product, enough to cope with the market, but a product, hehe, we don't sell, we can only send it!" ”

The Lan family still had the same question: "Why?" ”

"This truth is like ......" Bai He pondered for a moment, and then explained in the most straightforward language: "Oiran, a first-class wine is like an Oiran in a green building, understand?" The so-called Oiran looks tall, but in fact, their essence is just a green house woman. But the same Qinglou woman, others can only sell meat and not laugh, but Oiran can only sell laughter and not meat, why? The answer is actually very simple, two words - packaging! Of course, I prefer to call it a forced style, which is the style of pretending to be forced...... cough, Lan Shuxiao, if you don't understand what pretending to be forced is, you might as well ask Xiaolan later, let's continue to talk about packaging......"

"This packaging is not the appearance decoration on the surface of the word, it also contains some connotation things in it, such as talent, piano skills, singing skills, etc., in this way, the forced character of the Oiran is highlighted at once, and those boys and buddies often spend a lot of money to laugh at the beauty in order to pretend to be forced."

"And it's the same with our first-class wine. The Oiran can't be sold, and neither can the first-class wine, and once it gets along with the price, it's gone. It's like an Oiran being broken...... Ahem, someone was that...... Haha, you get the ...... Then she doesn't deserve to be called an Oiran anymore, you know? As long as the force is high enough, then we can take it to the dignitaries and nobles to pay some up and down, whether it is to pay tribute to the imperial court, or even to auction, its value is far greater than selling it directly by the pound ten, hundred, or even a thousand times! ”

"Of course, that's just for now." Bai He said, adding, "In the future, if the masters research better varieties, then the current first-class wine will be automatically downgraded to the second class, and the new wine will be the first class." In a word, the best wine can't be sold, you must keep it tough! ”

"Tsk......"

Listening to his remarks, Dad Lan was so impressed that his lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something to express his admiration. But after half a sound, he only squeezed out a dry sentence "Virtuous nephew is shrewd!" There seemed to be no words to express his exclamation.
