Fang Shuwei came, and with her came the caravan of Hongzhou Distillery.

Hundreds of people carried boxes of items to the empty room in the backyard of Wansan Qianzhuang, Dong Ce pried open a box, took out a jar of 20 catties of sweet wine from it, and after unsealing the mud, scooped out a spoonful with a wine spoon and tasted it lightly, he nodded with satisfaction.

"It's right to let Zhou Cong, the fat man, go, his grasp of wine is really accurate." Dong Ce said with a smile.

Fang Shuwei, who was always with her, was dissatisfied when she heard this: "I also said that the master of the hall of Zhou is drunk every day and does not wake up, and this time he also said that he would come with me, but before the trip, he found that he was drunk again, if it were not maintained by two deputy hall masters, I am afraid that the wine shop would be in chaos." ”

"It's okay, he knows how to drink." Dong Ce didn't care how Zhou Cong drank it at all, but was worried that he wouldn't drink it, because if he wasn't interested in touching the wine, was it still good wine?

As for his body, Dong Ce can't worry about it, at most he will send a letter to inform Zhou Cong's wife, and now only his mother can manage this son, as for Zhou Dahai, this girl has no time at all, and now the imperial court is very busy, on the one hand, it is necessary to expand the recruitment, on the other hand, it is necessary to check the family background to prevent the technology from spreading outside, Rao is so also tired Zhou Dahai is like a dead dog, if it were not for Zhang Jiting to see that the copper coin is difficult to imitate, he proposed to the Queen Mother to increase the denomination, add two hundred, five hundred and one thousand high amounts on top of the hundred texts, and mix silver into the copper coin, otherwise, just casting Baiwen can exhaust the current people to death, not to mention the ten and fifty Wen, and the heavy task of popularizing it in three years cannot be completed at all.

And now the new coins above the hundred texts, the denomination of two hundred has a penny of silver, and the one penny has five coins of silver, and the effect of making it becomes a poached egg, which looks a little nondescript, but this process has to be said to be more difficult to imitate, even Dong Ce has to admire Zhang Jiting, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, because he knows very well how difficult it is to make such a coin, and he can overcome it, but these ancients can be refined and improved without him.

As for gold coins, they are indeed available at present, but the people do not use them at all, and the copper coins they use most are ten to one hundred yuan.

And Dong Ce also knows that now the coinage supervisor is ready to recycle copper coins and make new copper coins, which use less material than copper coins on the outside and inside to reduce copper demand, but this policy has not been released, but this is the general trend, and no one can stop it.

"Master, Yan Nujiao and Xiaohua Niang each have a hundred altars, please check it." The person who spoke was Kong Lican's right-hand man Wu Erlang, the reason why Kong Lican let him go to Hongzhou to assist Zhou Cong in opening a wine shop was because of Dong Ce's order, and secondly, he was also a lot of right-hand men trained by Kong Lican over the years, and now he is not worse than one of the three brothers of the Wu family.

"I don't have to worry about you doing things, anyway, the wine is here, and when it is sold, I will directly deduct your wages." Dong Ce's words made Wu Erlang change from joy to sadness, and he shook his head with a wry smile in frustration.

"Okay, let's treat everyone with this money, and we should go back and ship the next batch of wine as soon as possible." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he threw a gold coin to Wu Erlang, and Wu Erlang greeted everyone and went out of the backyard of the money village.

After the people left, Fang Shuwei came to Dong Ce's side, smelled the rich aroma of wine emanating from the altar, and asked curiously: "Celang, what is the difference between these wines you make and ordinary wines?" ”

"You haven't drunk?" Dong Zhizhi glanced at Fang Shuwei in surprise.

Fang Shuwei shook her head and said, "I'm busy on the road, and I'm worried about being followed, so I don't dare to get drunk." ”

"Then let's try it." Dong Ce handed the wine spoon to Fang Shuwei's mouth, Fang Shuwei pulled her sideburns and lowered her head to bite the wine spoon, and without waiting for Dong Ce to remind her, she actually sucked it all in one gulp.

"Poof!" As soon as the wine was in her mouth, Fang Shuwei squirted out in an instant, and then spit out her little tongue and kept coughing like a puppy.

"Let's take a cup of tea and rinse your mouth." Dong Ce handed his purple clay pot to Fang Shuwei.

After Fang Shuwei drank Dong Ce's tea in two or three sips, she took a few deep breaths and choked up: "What kind of wine is this?" After the mouth is burning, how can you drink it? ”

"So it's called Yan Nujiao, don't look at this wine is clearer than water, according to the alcohol content, at least forty-five degrees, and the rice wine we drink on weekdays is generally about ten degrees, you know this gap."

"I don't know." Fang Shuwei glared at Dong Ce dissatisfied, but saw Dong Ce open another jar of wine, scooped a spoonful and said to her: "Try this, this wine is called Xiaohua Niang, with sucrose as raw material, soaked with honey and cinnamon, it has not been distilled, the wine is not strong, and it is very suitable for girls to drink." ”

"Really?" Fang Shuwei stared at Dong Ce with a suspicious gaze for a moment before tasting it again, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said happily: "It's really, sweet and fragrant, it's very delicious." ”

Dong Ce put down the wine spoon, picked up a jar of wine and said: "We keep these two jars for ourselves to drink, but it's not time yet, although the early winter is cold, but it's not cold enough, whether it's Yan Nujiao or Xiaohua Niang, the most suitable is ice, and when the winter is harsh, let's get a big ice cellar, when you want to drink, get some ice cubes to chill the town." ”

Fang Shuwei followed Dong Ce into the house with another altar, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but ask: "Is Ce Lang coming to Hangzhou just to sell wine?" ”

After Dong Ce put the wine jar in the corner of the room, he looked back at Fang Shuwei, and took the wine jar in her arms before replying: "Otherwise? ”

Turning around and putting down the wine jar, Dong Ce turned around and looked at the obviously unbelieving lady, and said with a wry smile: "Let's open a shop here to do some small business, and enjoy peace for a while, what do you think?" ”

"Hmm." Fang Shuwei nodded, stared at Dong Ce's somewhat emaciated cheeks, and said softly: "Wei'er understands, what Celang wants to do, Wei'er can't help if he knows, I just hope that Celang won't leave Wei'er in the future!" ”

"Woman!" Dong Ce didn't know what to say.

In the evening, Dong Ce was feeding the little tiger in the backyard for many days, and before he could touch this lazy guy, he suddenly heard Fang Shuwei's call, he immediately went to the shop, and when he saw Kuang Shiyi with five handsome little white faces, he was slightly stunned.

Because the fat powder smell of these little white faces is too strong, this is the first face, it is clearly the rabbit!

Without Kuang Shiyi's explanation, Dong Ce let them sit down, sat down on the main seat, picked up the teapot and said: "Please come five, not for anything else, just some work to greet guests, the salary is calculated according to the number of escorts, there is no time limit, and you don't need to come every day." ”

The five little white faces were all stunned after hearing this, and one of them asked calmly, "Can this little shopkeeper explain what I should do?" ”

As soon as this person spoke, he actually had a delicate tone, and he didn't forget to give Dong Ce a flattering look, seeing that Fang Shuwei's face turned blue, and Kuang Shiyi on the side had goosebumps all over his body.

Dong Ce seemed very calm and explained: "Accompany the guests to drink and chat, and to go deeper, it is to try their best to make the guests pay for wine, and the more the guests sell, the higher your reward, the preliminary estimate is that if you come every day, you should have an income of 30,000 to 50,000 Wen per month." ”

"That's it?" Instead of being carried away by the money, the five were somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, but there is no limit to male or female!"

Hearing this, the five of them were a little surprised, although Dong Ce asked Kuang Shiyi to find a face, and the face head is a little white face, but a little white face does not mean that it is a face, so it is still very difficult to find it, but Kuang Shiyi is not a fool, and the rabbit in the Qinglou is not also a little white face! Since the face can't be found, isn't the rabbit the same?

And to the surprise of the five people, it is nothing to accompany men, they are in this business, but to accompany women, to be honest, since they are sensible, they have been raised so much by the Qinglou, except for those sisters in the Qinglou, they have never seen the so-called female guests at all, let alone sit with them.

"In addition, you can also call a girl who knows each other, but they all have to be trained, and the work with you is completely different, of course, you want to make extra money, the body is yours, how to use it."

After telling the five people about some receptions, Dong Ce sent them away, and when he returned to the shop, without waiting for Fang Shuwei to ask, he first said to Kuang Shiyi: "Your idea is good, but I need more than these people, but the real face, you let Jiuliutang use dim sum and try to choose from the poor talents." ”

Although he didn't understand, Kuang Shiyi didn't dare to disobey and immediately agreed to leave.

Fang Shuwei had the opportunity to ask, "What is Celang looking for?" ”

Dong Ce smiled: "Hook up with a woman from a good family." ”

Fang Shuwei was speechless for a moment before she was dissatisfied: "Don't be joking with Celang, although Wei'er can't help Celang, Wei'er doesn't want to be confused." ”

"It's different from the people who come from the fast catch, and it's important to explore." Dong Ce shook his head at Fang Shuwei and said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, I need a group of men, a group of men who can easily hook a woman, and then I give them the goal to help me harm the good family, it's as simple as that." ”

Fang Shuwei was really speechless, and at the same time very angry, because these things were so shameful, she really didn't expect Celang to have such thoughts!

"Disappointed in me?" Dong Ce smiled at Fang Shuwei.

Fang Shuwei nodded, but didn't say anything, her expression was very aggrieved.

Dong Ce smiled bitterly, beckoned Fang Shuwei over, and said after letting her sit beside her: "You don't know the situation in Hangzhou, there is something that almost everyone in Hangzhou knows, that is, the flower girl, and my target is them, do you understand?" ”

Fang Shuwei was shocked when she heard this, obviously understood something, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Hua Niang is ......"

"Shh Dong Ce stopped Fang Shuwei's follow-up words, and whispered: "Although the two shops next door are mine, and they are all disciples of the Nine Streams Hall, there are guests besides them!" Be careful. ”

Fang Shuwei came to her senses at this time, and said in a low voice of surprise: "Celang, you are crazy, let King Yue know, he will definitely send someone to arrest you!" ”

"I'm afraid he doesn't know!" Dong Ce's words made Fang Shuwei's heart almost dying, but she knew very well that Ce Lang would not be so stupid as to be so confused, he must have some preparations and follow-up for this, but this is too risky!
