Jia Min found a Wanjia kiln in the east of the city, which was a small private kiln. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two or three people working here and there, and it seems that the business is not very good.

But that's okay, as long as you can make something out of him.

Seeing that he was a son-in-law, Shopkeeper Wan received him very warmly. Explaining the intention, the shopkeeper called the kiln head, that is, the master of the kiln.

First the cooler, then the wine bottle.

Looking at the graphics given by Jia Min, the kiln head pondered the kung fu of having a cup of tea, and finally said to give it a try. However, the tone is more affirmative, and it is estimated that there is still a little certainty.

The wine bottle is divided into two sets, one is hardcover, which belongs to the mother and child bottles, and a large bottle with two small bottles is a set.

In this era, the rich family has the habit of rewarding the master. It is both a show of kindness and a show off. The vial is for tipping. Of course, giving away is also a more delicate gadget, which is both practical and decent.

The other set is a normal outfit. Just a bottle with a lid.

The color is white background with a blue pattern. The picture is set as a market pattern, similar to the style of the Qingming Riverside Map, but it is greatly simplified.

Ten sets of coolers were ordered first, and each set was stated to be three taels of silver, which was obviously not low, but Jia Min still accepted it. It's still very cheap relative to his profits.

The wine bottle will be sampled first, and the price will be negotiated in two days, depending on the amount of Jia Min's order in the end, and the more the cheaper.

Jia Min paid 10 taels of silver and left.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of businessmen in this era are still more reputable, and most of the business is oral transactions, and there are not many written contracts.

Leaving Wanjiayao, Jia Min went to the carpenter shop of the Zhou family. Jia Min came to this house twice when he was walking around the city some time ago.

The shopkeeper is the master carpenter, leading three apprentices.

Jia Min came here to order a wine box. This is a packaging box for that kind of mother and son wine, and Jia Min plans to make this wine into a high-end gift wine.

told the shopkeeper Zhou his own ideas, took out the graphics, and explained, and the carpenter understood. Then it was framed and lined, explained one by one, paid a tael of silver, and asked him to make a sample and come out. We'll talk about the price and quantity in two days.

In addition, I asked the carpenter to make a sample of a larger box, a box of 12 bottles. This one is relatively simple, as long as the general wooden box will do. It's just that Jia Min asked for a thin plank. The fine planks of this era, that is, the planks were smoother.

Subsequently, Jia Min came to the Hu family wine shop.

This is one of the larger sake breweries in the city, which not only sells its own shochu, but also sells some drinking utensils, including koji.

Jia Min himself is also good at making koji, but the raw materials are not easy to collect, and it is laborious and laborious, so he simply buys it. I bought 20 catties of koji, put it in a blanket, and went to the butcher's shop.

It's not about buying meat, it's about understanding the market of pork.

The fat meat is 40 yuan a catty, the back hair is 35 yuan, the pork ribs are 30 yuan, the pig's head is 8 yuan, and the next goods are 20 yuan.

In this era, fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat because fatty meat can be used as oil. Pig breeding is all about fat. When killing pigs, the most commonly used indicator to measure whether a pig is good or not is a few finger fat. Meaning the pork thickness of this pig is several fingers thick. The thicker the better, and the fatter the better.

In this era, meat was still basically a high-end food, a quasi-luxury. It is not easy for ordinary people to eat a meal of meat.

When I got out of the butcher's shop, I went to the rice shop. It's not about buying rice, it's about understanding the market.

The main thing to look at is the price of corn.

Since the Ming Dynasty, corn has been introduced to Middle Earth. Therefore, at this time, there was already a lot of corn planting in the imperial capital.

At this time, corn was mainly used as a food. The main food for sake making is sorghum. There is almost no wine made from corn.

Whether pigs can make money or not, there is an important indicator, that is, the ratio of meat to food. That is, the ratio of the price of pigs to the price of grain. This ratio is 6 to 1. That is to say, as long as the price of pigs reaches six times the price of grain, pig raising will not lose money.

This is the experience that Jia Min has gained from his previous life, and it is a reliable conclusion reached by expert research.

Looking at the price of corn, Jia Min calculated in his heart and knew it.

In fact, Jia Min's pig-raising model is not suitable for him compared to the pig-raising model of this world.

First of all, in his pig farming method, distiller's grains are concentrated feed, which can be fed directly to pigs. According to this method, the sake lees can earn back the raw material money, and the wine is equal to being obtained for nothing.

If he sells a pound of wine for a tael of silver, he will make a net profit of one tael.

In addition, pigs in this world are basically not fed with food. Many times people don't have enough to eat, where is there food to feed the pigs?

However, pigs are not impossible to raise, the main thing to feed pigs is grass, so pigweed is one thing that pig farmers often have to do.

Walking on the street, from time to time, you can see the advertisements posted by Ning'er and Nan'er, and there are really many people who read and talk about it, and many people are talking about it, saying that they want to go to Yeduju to have a look.

Jia Min was happy in his heart, and said in his heart: Xiao Ping'er, tomorrow you will be busy receiving these people.

When Jia Min returned home, it was already dark, and Jiao Li, Ning'er, and Nan'er all returned. The meal should be ready, and I waited for Jia Min to come back and set the meal.

Ping'er had already prepared water, waited for Jia Min to wash his face, and then started the meal.

After digging a well at Chen Hanlin's house this morning, I went to another house in the afternoon and drilled another well pit. One well received 6 taels of silver, and two eyes were 12 taels, and after removing the 2 taels of capital from a well, a net profit of 8 taels of silver was made.

It's just that there is no well pipe yet, although the money has been collected, the goods have not been paid.

As for Chen Hanlin's well, although it was originally said that it didn't cost money, Chen Hanlin still gave it money. is probably not bad for money, and he is a decent literati, and he is unwilling to take advantage of this.

Moreover, due to the demonstration effect, there are still more than a dozen waiting to be numbered to drill wells.

Jia Min also said that when he saw the advertisement, Nan'er and Ning'er also said that when they were posting the advertisement, many people wanted to go to Yeduju to see it.

So, Jia Min arranged at the dinner table that Jiao Li would continue to lead people to dig wells tomorrow. Tell each family to prepare the stones, and wait for the future well pipes to come out, and then go to install them, and it will be very soon.

Now, the supply of Liu Blacksmith and other blacksmith shops has become a key issue.

This matter was also handed over to Jiao Li.

Blacksmith Liu's family lives in the place where Yedu lives in Sanlidi, and he went home today. So Jia Min told Ping'er that when Blacksmith Liu came tomorrow, he would prepare a place for him to live and tell him to live here in the future. One is to save the time on the way back and forth, and the other is to save the money for meals at home.

The advantage of Jia Min's here is that Blacksmith Liu can have more time to work here, and it is convenient to work overtime when necessary. Of course, the work is not in vain.

An unspoken plan is that Jia Min wants Blacksmith Liu to participate in training in the future and learn some cultural knowledge. In the future, he will be of even greater use to Blacksmith Liu.

The main task of Ping'er, Fenghua, and Xueyue these days is to receive those who come to consult and dig wells. Give them demonstrations, explanations, registrations, and numbers.

Ning'er and Nan'er's task tomorrow is to follow Jia Min and build a pig house.

Tonight, the training session begins.

Except for Jiao Li, the enthusiasm for learning is actually not high.

It has to do with where they come from and who they are now.

These people, except for Nan'er, are all minions of Jiafu. Jiaoli was born in the family. The so-called family birth son means that his ancestors were slaves. Among the descendants, they are basically all minions of Jiafu. Although Ping'er was not a slave of Jiafu before, she was a maid bought by Wang Xifeng's family, and after she married Wang Xifeng to Jiafu, she belonged to the people of Jiafu. In fact, he is also a subordinate of Jiafu, just because he is a high-level subordinate in Wang Xifeng's room.

For the maid who made a mistake, Jia Fu said at every turn that he was married to a certain boy, which was said by the slave. In fact, it is not much different from a slave.

Like attacking people, they belong to the maids they bought. If Jia Fu wants, he can sell them again. Later, when the Grand View Garden was built, 12 operas were bought from Suzhou, and some of them were later sold.

These people, first of all, as children, did not have the opportunity to get an education. Even if you have received an education, study well, and want to gain fame, you have to agree to Jiafu.

Even if they have culture, they don't need it, it's on the side of Jiafu, and it's not up to them to decide. Their motivation to learn is actually not strong.

So, there's really a question of cultural monopoly here.

However, now that they all belong to Jia Min's people, Jia Min wants them to learn, and they don't dare not learn.

The reason why Jia Min forced them to study was mainly to consider the needs of the future. However, it is also somewhat selfish. This selfishness, this is mainly aimed at Ping'er.

Ping'er's appearance is first-class, and she is known as "pretty Ping'er". In Jia Min's opinion, such a big beauty, if she is illiterate, it will be a bit of a bad scenery.

It's like in his previous life, walking on the street, meeting a very good-looking Bai Fumei, she drove a sports car, stopped in front of you, and then said to you, handsome guy, where is the bank. At this time, there was a bank in front of her eyes. So you say, isn't this a bank? Doesn't that say on the sign? She said, I'm sorry, I don't know how to read.

That's how it feels.

"When you are in the house, you often see young ladies and old men reading and writing, reciting poems against each other, you may think that they are very powerful, but in fact, there is nothing difficult about it. Anyone can do it. I was also illiterate, but after studying it myself for a while, I was able to compose poetry. ”

Jiao Li and Ping'er both knew that Jia Min was illiterate, and when he heard him say that he could write poetry, he naturally didn't believe it. Jiao Li didn't say anything, but Ping'er pouted.

As soon as Jia Min saw Ping'er's expression, she knew what she was thinking.

"Maybe you don't believe it, okay, then I'll make you a poem, listen, it's a flower poem."

So, Jia Min began to recite poetry.

"One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, eleven pieces, ......."

"Fourth master, you are counting, where is the poem?"

Ping'er said, and several people burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, add this last sentence, it's poetry. Fly into the bushes and disappear. ”

This poem is very easy to remember, and Jiao Li remembered it at once. He knew a little bit of text, and thought it was really a poem.

"Look, isn't this poetry? It's simple, and you'll do it too. So, it's not very difficult to learn. ”

"I'll make you another song, this one is called "Song of the Duck", praise the duck."

"Duck duck duck, look up to the sky. The black hair floats in the water, and the white palm is paddled underwater. ”

After Jia Min finished reading this poem, Jiao Like pondered, how could this poem sound so familiar?
