Chapter 80: Leaking
Li family compound.
Sending the four killing gods away, Li Xiao clenched his fists and was excited. He found that he had found a good way to make medicinal wine and provide medicinal wine for the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Of course, compared to getting acquainted with four important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee at once today, a little bit of wealth is nothing.
"I'm so happy for this common people!"
Li Xiao hummed a little song and walked back a little proudly. To survive in the era of scarcity of materials in Datang, you must have food and money, as well as backers and power, otherwise it will be really difficult to live. Fortunately, along the way, life has gotten better and better.
Humming a song, I passed through the moon gate, but I saw a black shadow running by, at first I thought it was a mouse, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was a dog with a bone.
"Blackie!"
Li Xiao recognized at a glance that this was the little wild dog cub who came to the kitchen to steal something to eat last time, and last time Li Xiao ordered the people in the courtyard not to chase this dog in the future, but no one shouted and beat everyone anymore. Sometimes I'll give him some bones or something, and this dog will make this place his home, and he will come every day.
However, although he ate the Li family and drank the Li family, this little black dog cub was still so vigilant, shrinking in the corner of the wall, holding his tail between his legs, and making gestures on his hind legs, looking like he was about to run at any time.
Li Xiao rolled his eyes at the little white-eyed dog, "You eat me and drink mine, now it's my dog, why are you still staring at me?" Come here, let me touch it. ”
Xiao Hei didn't want to put down the bone in his mouth, there is still a lot of meat on this bone today, this is the bone eaten by the four fierce masters, if it was eaten by the people in the Li family's courtyard, it would definitely be gnawed clean early, and it would even be recycled and kept for the next time to boil the soup and drink. The four of them ate vegetables and gnawed bones just now, and they all threw them away after gnawing, which was cheap.
"I'm a conscienceless, come here."
No matter how Li Xiao called it, it still held on to its bones and refused to let go, and even took two steps back.
"If you ignore me, I won't let you come to the courtyard to pick up food in the future, do you hear?"
Maybe he understood, this little black didn't retreat, but took two steps forward, and then, he actually wagked his tail at Li Xiao.
"Ho, that's interesting, you still understand people's words. If you kiss me, I will eat meat in the future, and I will definitely let you gnaw bones, and even make a dog kennel for you, so that you will not be frozen. ”
He moved closer, and as a result, Xiao Hei immediately took a few steps back vigilantly.
Although he was still wagging his tail, he didn't let Li Xiao get close at all.
"Phew, you white-eyed wolf with no conscience, forget it, ignore you." Li Xiao was in a good mood today, and he didn't have the same knowledge as this little black cub, so he walked back to the front hall with his hands behind his back.
In the front hall, Mr. Zhao and Wan Niang were sitting there, and the kang table had been cleaned up.
The little yellow and yellow on the table was placed there, which was particularly conspicuous.
Ten taels of gold, this gold bar is so beautifully cast, and the seal on it is also obvious.
Li Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that there was a row of tooth marks on the corner of this gold bar.
Mr. Zhao blushed a little and said, "I tried the truth just now." ”
"Cheng Lao Guogong took it out, how can it be fake." Li Xiao picked up the big yellow croaker, ten taels of gold, and started with a heavy one, worth more than eighty yuan, if you buy a field in Lanxi, you can buy dozens of acres of land.
"San Lang, I didn't expect you to learn a lot of medical skills over the years." Mr. Zhao exclaimed.
"Actually, I've only learned a little bit of skin, I don't know any medical skills, I just know some medicine and wine prescriptions." In front of the real doctor, Li Xiao didn't dare to pretend, although his grandfather used to be an old Chinese medicine doctor, but he himself was not.
Doctor Zhao asked Li Xiao a few recipes for medicinal wines, such as Cheng Yanjin's Ten Perfect Tonic Medicinal Wine, which is better than Li Ji's Longevity Medicinal Wine, and after listening, he nodded, "The medication of your two medicinal wines is quite standardized, and the compatibility and dosage are very particular, so I can't see the problem." He wanted to ask Li Xiao where he learned this, but when he saw that Li Xiao didn't say anything, he didn't ask in the end.
When Li Xiao came back this time, there were too many mysteries on his body, but Li Xiao didn't take the initiative to talk about it, so Mr. Zhao didn't take the initiative to ask.
"Are we really going to make medicinal liquor?" Wan Niang asked.
"We've taken the deposit, of course we have to do it. And I've actually thought about it a long time ago, and I think there's a lot to be done. You've seen the soju I brewed, and it's a good thing, but if it's just sold as wine, it's actually not cost-effective, so I thought that I could make a lot more money by using this soju to make medicinal wine, and I could make a lot more money by turning it in. ”
"Originally, we planned to let Aya open a medical center, but now we are taking advantage of this shareholder wind, let's open a medical center, not only to diagnose and treat diseases, but also to make medicine and wine to sell."
If it was before, the Li family would have made a small fuss by themselves, it would definitely not be so easy, and they had to buy grain to buy koji to make soju, and they had to buy medicinal materials to process and soak medicinal wine, and the key is that the cost of making soju into medicinal wine is not low, and there must be a processing process, and there must be a promotion problem at the beginning of the market.
And now, with Lao Cheng's words, Li Xiao can directly set up the workshop medical hall first, and there is an order from the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which is enough for him to directly scale up.
"No one else will brew this soju, if you let San Lang brew it, you won't be able to brew much this day, but if you teach it to others, what if you leak the secret recipe?" Wan Niang said with some concern.
Shochu is now the only one, but as long as the medicinal liquor is on the market, there will always be people who will inquire about it, and what if someone else finds a way to steal the secret recipe.
It's not difficult to make shochu, and it doesn't require any special equipment, to put it bluntly, it's just a distillation process.
"You can find a few people you can trust to teach them." Li Xiao thought for a while and said, the winery is really going to get bigger, and he can't stay in it every day to make wine, so he might as well not do this business.
Mr. Zhao said, "Aren't there still a few slaves in our family, their slave contracts are in the hands of San Lang, and life and death are in your hands, they are more reliable." ”
"Give them a monthly increase, usually eat and drink, but you have to isolate yourself from outsiders, and make wine in the winery to prevent leakage."
Li Xiao felt that this method was a little inhumane, but at this time, there was really no good way to prevent the leakage, so he finally agreed.
"At that time, the steam room will be isolated from the outside, so that they can eat and live inside, and we will tell them that we will marry them in the future."
"That's good."
To do this medicine and liquor business, the most important thing is two things.
One is to prepare shochu, the other is to purchase concocted medicinal materials from fundamentally different medicinal liquor recipes, and finally to soak medicinal liquor.
Build a winery, build a pharmacy, and recruit again!
