Chapter 014: The Taste of Grilled Fish
Ten taels of silver is just a deposit, how to negotiate later depends on your own ability, Li Wencai is still very confident in this point, who let himself be born to be a business material, there is no patent in the Ming Dynasty, and the government has no protective measures, so since it is the only one with no other branches, Li Wencai must not be cheap The old man in front of him who called himself Wu Zixu.
"Lao Zhang, go catch a few more fish, I'm very happy to get to know Brother Wu today, and I can't help but miss something at this moment." Li Wencai looked at the green mountains and green waters around him, and there was game to enjoy, at this time, if there were a few more women wearing belly pockets dancing, it would naturally be beautiful, the most important thing is to have wine, this situation, no wine, no joy, Li Wencai is also a boy who eats, drinks and has fun, whether it is the same in the past life or now, but in the Ming Dynasty, I can no longer drink those good wines, and some are just some rice wine with a very light taste.
Wu Zixu seemed to see Li Wencai's thoughts, and boldly untied a porcelain bottle from his waist, and looked at it twice with some reluctance in his eyes: "Today I have a fate with my brother, I just bought such a bottle of the best flower carving in the drunken fairy in Chengyang, this drunken fairy is the best flower carving, not only in Chengyang, it is famous, but also in Nanjing City, everyone knows, do you know how much silver this vial is worth?" ”
"Since it is a famous wine, it is estimated that it will not be cheap, and ordinary wine is only a few tens of yuan, which is enough to be ten taels more expensive."
"My brother is estimated to have just arrived in this Chengyang, and the cheapest wine brewed by the drunken immortals is a few taels of silver, and the output of this superb flower carving is very small, it can be said that it is priceless, but I spent fifty taels to grab it from the crowd."
Li Wencai had a feeling of surprise, this product in front of him was not only greedy, but also a drunkard, is it a little dangerous to cooperate with this kind of person, and then look at this person's dress does not look like a rich and noble person, if this product spends fifty taels to grab such a bottle of wine, then he would rather believe that he didn't spend money to rob it directly.
Wash the small dish where the bait is put and put it on the ground, Wu Zixu took out the wine bottle and carefully poured out a little wine, not so much pouring, but dripping, dropping a few drops and then stopped, Wu Zixu said very generously: "Brother, taste the taste of this superb flower carving." ”
Li Wencai's eyes were full of contempt, this is too stingy, but he had to put the plate to his mouth to taste, the ancient wine is actually not much different, the brewing method is single, the good and bad only lie in the clear and turbid, whether the fermentation is thorough, the good wine is only a little less miscellaneous taste, relatively positive.
Li Wencai smashed his mouth twice, his eyes stared at the sky and didn't seem to react much, Wu Zi said in a false alarm: "Why is my brother's expression like this, do you think this wine is not good?" ”
For a person who has tasted all kinds of fine wine in his previous life, this superb Huadiao really can't stimulate Li Wencai's sense of taste, but to tell the truth, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, this wine is still excellent, Li Wencai misses his winery very much, in his previous life, he was a person who had a winery, and the red wine he made was also famous, but it was a pity that he could only drink such garbage wine now.
If you can make wine by yourself, then with your own ability, Drunken Tianxian can only be regarded as a fart, thinking of this, Li Wencai suddenly opened his brain, this is a good idea, Drunken Tianxian such a garbage wine can be sold at such a high price, if he can really make high-quality red wine, then gold and silver are like surging rivers.
Seeing that Li Wencai's eyes suddenly lit up, Wu Zixu asked: "What do you think, brother, he didn't speak for a long time, and his expression was so strange." “
"Silver, mountains of silver, are coming at me." Li Wencai read like a distracted man, and then saw Wu Zixu looking at himself like a neuropath, and said: "Brother Wu, I have a money-making business now, I wonder if Big Brother is interested?" ”
"Let's talk about it."
"The secret grilled fish is my patent, and I don't know how much it can be worth for a while, so let's open a store in partnership and open a grilled fish restaurant in Chengyang, how about we split the account fifty-fifty?" Li Wencai said.
"Fifty-fifty accounts, how much money is the brother going to come up with to cooperate with me" Wu Zixu asked with some doubts.
"I don't have any money, I don't have a penny, but I'm a technology shareholder, do you know what a technology sharehold is?" Li Wencai began to inflate Wu Zi's knowledge with great interest.
Wu Zixu's head shook like a rattle, and then asked, "Please elaborate." ”
"Although I don't have any money, but the secret grilled fish is only I can do, if there is no secret recipe for my grilled fish, no matter how much money you take, it's useless, I call it technology shares, and you pay for people, it's not so easy to open a store, first of all, there must be materials, I can't sit on the river every day to fish, so the business will be yellow, so the eldest brother has to have someone to fish by hand, and transportation, killing fish, etc., all have to be manpowered, these will be arranged by the eldest brother."
Wu Zixu understood it, and then said: "There are people in Lao Tzu, and there are many people if there are others." ”
Li Wencai smiled slightly, very hidden and treacherous, and then asked: "I am relieved that the eldest brother has someone, the elder brother wants to inquire if there is a vineyard in this Chengyang area, I am talking about a very large kind of garden."
"Vineyards?" Wu Zixu's brain was a little unavoidable, just now he was talking about opening a shop, and now he suddenly transferred to the vineyard, this rhythm is too fast, Wu Zixu grabbed his hair and thought about it carefully: "The largest orchard is Qingpuling under Yandang Mountain, there are dozens of acres of grape vines, and now it is autumn, and the grapes should be ripe, is it not possible to use grapes for this secret grilled fish" Wu Zixu really can't associate grilled fish with grapes, this is the only explanation.
Li Wencai nodded meaningfully and said: "Brother Wu's wisdom can see through it at a glance, and to tell you the truth, grapes are an indispensable seasoning for secret grilled fish, so of course I have to ask." ”
"How much do you think my brother can need, dozens of catties or hundreds of catties are not a problem for me." Wu Zixu patted his chest and said.
"I mean take the vineyard all."
"All covered? This, this requires a lot of money, and the transportation of these grapes into the city is a big expense, in order to eat a bite of grilled fish, this is a bit expensive. Wu Zixu originally just wanted to spend money to buy Li Wencai's secret recipe for grilled fish, but now it has turned into a business, and this progress is beyond his control.
"Brother to character as a guarantee, this is definitely a million projects, I can give you the money to buy grapes at double the price, you go back and think about it, if you think you can come here again and I want to meet, but I advise the eldest brother, I don't know how many people are waiting for such a good way, don't let me wait too long."
"It's a big project, I'm going to go back and discuss it." Wu Zixu stood up as he spoke, and thoughtfully Yu Li Wencai hugged his fists to say goodbye, and then trotted all the way and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Looking at the figure in the distance, Lao Zhang said: "My lord really wants to do business with this guy, but you don't even know his details,"
Li Wencai squinted his eyes and smiled treacherously, turned over and lay on the grass, looked up at the blue sky and said: "What does he have to do with me, the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and a poor person like me who can't even solve the problem of food and clothing is afraid of being deceived?"
Lao Zhang nodded and responded: "My lord is right, I'm afraid the money we have left now won't last long, and the high county order didn't say anything about the silver." ”
"Don't think about it, don't think about it, people like me who occupy the pit and don't don't want it, it's already very lucky not to drive me out of Chengyang, it's better to think of a way by yourself than to sit and eat nothing."
Lao Zhang knew that Master Li was a smart person, he naturally thought of what he could think of, and he could think of what he couldn't think of, since he didn't have to worry about anything, just listen to the adult's orders......
Li Wencai is indeed enjoying his idle life now, this is the dream he has been pursuing, if it weren't for worrying about money, Li Wencai would have lived like this for the rest of his life, but in Gao Sheng's eyes, it was a different scene.
In the back hall of the Chengyang Mansion, Liu Xingzheng and Gao Sheng were kneeling on the couch and playing chess, Gao Sheng was slightly fat, with a fat face, his brows were tightly locked at the moment, a few folds were squeezed out of his face, and he held a chess piece in his hand in the air, as if he had a point. 、
As the confidant of the county order, Liu Xing certainly understood what Gao Sheng was thinking at the moment, so he smiled and said: "My lord, that Huangkou child surnamed Li still went to the river to fish today, every day, his every move is under my control, I guess this kid really took shit luck before he was sent here to be an official, don't worry, you can't turn over any big waves, you still cover the sky with one hand in Chengyang." ”
Gao Sheng put down the chess pieces in his hand and slowly shook his head and said: "I don't think so, I have never seen an official who can be idle to such a point, where is he an official, obviously he is here to play in the mountains and rivers, do you say that he is not acting for me, there are movements in secret." ”
"My lord filtered, a patrol division, according to the grade, is one level smaller than you, and according to the foundation, it can't be compared with you, he won't make any big waves." Liu Xing's tone was very tactful, and he was in harmony with Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe you're right, how can such a hairy boy who doesn't care about government affairs fight with me, I have already taken care of it, the patrol department sent above is my own person, even if it is a person from the Donglin Party, I have a way to deal with it, I really didn't expect such a kid to run out of thin air, but this kid is estimated to be short, and soon he will be in trouble." ”
Of course, Liu Xing understood what Gao Sheng meant, so he took the opportunity to say: "The robbers' cases have not had a result now, many rich people in Chengyang can't sit still, they are now discussing countermeasures, these days they have been blocking the yamen and shouting, let us catch the robbers as soon as possible, otherwise they will be sued." ”
Gao Sheng smiled and said: "You have also seen, we have sent all the government soldiers, but not even the shadow of a robber has been found, although the case of pacifying the robbers is tried by me, but the duty of catching the thief is not in me, this should be the responsibility of the patrol department, but now the patrol department has gone to fish and enjoy the flowers, although I have the crime of lax management, but I can't bear the main responsibility." ”
"What my lord said is so right, I will go to the government tomorrow to explain to those people that the reason why the robbery case has not been concluded so far is that the Lord Inspector only cares about fishing and enjoying the flowers, and has no energy to care about this matter, if they want to sue, go to Nanjing to sue Tianfu."
Gao Sheng waved his hand and said with a treacherous smile: "You can do this, it seems that that little shrimp won't be able to bounce for long." ”
