Chapter 10 Winemaking and Restaurants

After everyone dispersed, when the eldest grandson pulled Wu Yuanqing to ask about winemaking, he knew that there were many things in this era that were monopolies, and the salt and iron franchise had been implemented since the Han Dynasty, on the one hand, the salt and iron were the control of the nomads by the Central Plains Dynasty, and on the other hand, it was to increase taxes.

At this time, this wine was also a franchise item, and all dynasties and dynasties would include winemaking in the scope of the franchise when there was not enough food, mainly to prevent winemaking from using too much grain.

The eldest grandson knew that the salt and iron were franchised, but he didn't know that the wine was actually a franchise product, he only knew that the quality of the wine at this time was extremely poor, so he thought of this method, and it seemed that this wine would not be able to be done for a while.

The eldest grandson who put an oolong on the side was not discouraged, his purpose was just to bring some special products to this Gangneung City to increase local income, this wine is not successful, there are still other methods, and he will always think of it.

This Sihu joined the army and said that it was not big, and it was not small, anyway, this eldest grandson Tang has been relatively idle recently, and the warehouses in various places have sent out the food for temporary disaster relief, and it will take some time for the imperial court to mobilize disaster relief food from other places, and disaster relief is the top priority at present, and it happens to be okay at present.

This eldest grandson couldn't stay in the city, so he went out of the city again, but this time he was not alone.

Six horses, two carriages, and a not too small convoy drove towards the outside of Jiangling City, these six people were naturally the two eldest grandsons, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and two guards, and the people in this carriage were naturally ready to come out.

These six people went to the riverside. You can't sell this wine, so find a way to consume it yourself. The eldest grandson is easy to retreat sometimes, but sometimes he is very stubborn.

When the eldest grandson went out to investigate, he stayed in a village for most of the day, and found that there was a small hill near the Yangtze River, and it was not far from the wharf.

If you want to mix in this land, you can't do it without the participation of the Wu family.

This Wu Rou and Wu Shun were excited when they heard Wu Yuanqing say that Changsun Tang wanted to open a restaurant by the river, the previous restaurants were basically opened in the city, which was basically due to safety and passenger flow, does this Changsun Tang really have a way to solve this problem?

In fact, this issue has also been considered by Changsun Tang, he just plans to build some industry by this dock, as for the use, it will be kept secret for the time being. There is basically no need to worry about safety issues, this prosperous scene is coming soon, the prosperous world is not only rich, many problems will be covered up, as for the passenger flow, take your time, don't worry.

The scenery here is really nice. The Yangtze River here does not have the recklessness of the Three Gorges, it has its own bearing, the banks are full of willow trees, and a few bare-bottomed children take turns jumping into the river from the shore.

Several people unloaded their horses, and the horses leisurely gnawed on the grass by the river.

The operation of this restaurant, Sun Tang, made it clear in Chang'an a few years ago, and only needed to build a three-story building by the river, and it would be better if Wang Bo and others came to inscribe a few sentences such as "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together".

A few people were playing by the river, but the eldest grandson was constantly calculating the chances of success.

Within a few days, under the interrogation of Wu Shi Tong, the matter of the land of the restaurant of the eldest grandson was quickly implemented.

The restaurant is called Wangjiang Tower, located on a small hill near the Yangtze River, surrounded by willows.

The eldest grandson found the most famous construction team in the area, and after telling them the intention of the construction, he didn't bother anymore, he needed to do another important thing.

This restaurant is inseparable from a wine word, and if the eldest grandson wants to open a restaurant, he naturally has to make wine.

Due to the disaster, this grain became a controlled item, and this matter was naturally handed over to the prince of Wu to deal with.

All the eldest grandson needed to do was to find the master of brewing and koji, and he had to prepare something else.

"Can I make a copper kettle here?" In an alley in Gangneung City, the eldest grandson asked as he walked into the tinkling shop.

"Yes, please look at the pot here, what kind of pot do you want to make?" The guy in the shop stopped what he was doing.

"Is it okay to have a double layer?"

"Yes, yes, but it takes a lot of work, so the salary is not low."

"The wages are easy to say." The eldest grandson gave the drawings as he spoke, originally wanting to build the kind of condenser tube in the laboratory of later generations, but he knew that this was a little unrealistic, so he retreated to the next best thing and built a hollow pot, and the water flowed between the inner and outer layers, and the distilled gas was condensed.

Yes, Changsun Tang is to build a still, at this time the wine is not only relatively low, but also the liquor is generally relatively turbid, if the current is distilled, not only can you get a higher degree of wine, but also make the liquor clear.

"So, can you make it cheaper?" Wu Rou's voice became smaller and smaller, maybe he and she felt that this request was a little unreasonable, and this eldest grandson didn't even say the price.

Since the eldest grandson and his party of six went to the riverside for a barbecue, this Wu Rou basically stuck to her, report regularly every day, you get angry, a few years old girl looks at you pitifully, you let her follow, I don't know when some moths will come out. For example, when barbecuing, the little girl first smeared a thick layer of chili pepper on the meat, and saw that Changsun Tang had no reaction, so she roasted a piece of meat with a lot of peppercorns, and this time Wu Yuanqing did send it over, and Changsun Tang didn't check it for a while, and after a few days, his lips were numb.

The eldest grandson is completely out of order, so he can only let her follow. Fortunately, Wu Rou is also quite sensible, and can basically do big things without making trouble, this small thing, it depends on the mood.

The eldest grandson solved the problem of the distiller, and the matter of brewing was basically the same, just waiting for the building to be built.

Building a building requires a large number of workers, and some skilled workers are fine, but this ordinary small foreman Sun Tang plans to find another way.

When employing a large number of disaster victims, no wages are paid, only grain is paid, and a worker is given about eight catties of grain per day according to the situation, in addition to providing food with an open belly.

This grain was obtained through Zhang Shaokang and Li Yan, the assassin of Rongzhou, and it was not long after it arrived.

For the current situation, the role of money is far less than the role of food, as the so-called food in the hand is not panicked, this is the reason.

Of course, the effect is also very good, and the construction site is in full swing.

In about ten days, the three-story wooden building was completed, which can be described as a miracle in the local area.

At this time, the first pot of wine was also brewed, and the restaurant opened on the edge of the Yangtze River.
