Yang Ermiao entered Beijing at the end of the year, and he had already helped Jiang Xuehe and them take care of everything in the capital. After Jiang Xuehe and his party entered Beijing, they directly lived in the small courtyard that Yang Ermiao bought for them.

Yang Ermiao bought a courtyard with two entrances, although there were only two entrances, but the place was not small, enough for them to live in a large family. There are a lot of rental houses in the alley not far from the courtyard, all of which are vacated once every three years and rented to the children who are rushing to take the exam, and Yang Ermiao also rented two rooms for the mother and son of the Liu family there.

When he entered the door, Gu Sixing sighed with emotion: "I found that Shopkeeper Yang is really a good buyer of yards, and he can buy a good yard no matter where he goes." ”

Jiang Xuehe thought it was funny, Yang Ermiao was obviously a good hand at everything, plus there were many people in the rivers and lakes, and it was much faster than them to find a suitable house. Usually when she needs to buy something, Jiang Xuehe likes to find Yang Ermiao.

"This courtyard is also elegant, and the people who used to live there should have been scholars, right?" Jiang Xuehe looked around and said with a smile.

Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "Madame guessed right, there are many rented yards near this area for students who are rushing to take the exam." This courtyard was bought by a student from a wealthy family, he stayed in Hanlin for five or six years, and now he wants to sell this house when he seeks to go out, so I took the opportunity to buy it, thinking that this courtyard is already good, and we are also touched by the culture of Hanlin officials. ”

Jiang Xuehe was quite confident in Gu Siyan, and felt that he didn't need to touch other people's temperament, but this kind of thing always had to be pleased. Without this layer of color head, this yard is also a good yard, and it is even better with this layer of color head.

As soon as Jiang Xuehe was happy, she rewarded Yang Ermiao with two silver tickets. You can use silver to reward others, but Yang Ermiao, as the biggest shopkeeper under her, originally had a profit of 10% as a monthly money, and if she wanted to reward it, Jiang Xuehe would not be able to take it without one or two hundred taels.

Yang Ermiao was also very happy: "If Madame is satisfied with this courtyard, do you want to go and see a few shops I fancy again?" ”

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Let's wait for my husband to finish the exam." If the husband is successful in the examination and wants to stay in Beijing as an official, then we can try to open a shop in the capital. If the husband doesn't stay in the capital for the next two years, even if we want to open a shop in the capital, it will be difficult for us to operate smoothly. ”

Yang Ermiao nodded and said, "I think what Madame said also makes sense." ”

He actually took this into account, but he was a little lucky, so he mentioned it to Jiang Xuehe. Although Jiang Xuehe disagreed with him, he was a little regretful, but he was not too disappointed.

"Then before the results of the Fifth Master's examination come out, will we all stand still?" Yang Ermiao asked, "Wouldn't it be bad if this time was wasted?" ”

Although everyone's money is enough now, if he is not allowed to do anything, he really can't be idle.

Jiang Xuehe thought for a while and said, "Then sell the bar." ”

"Selling alcohol?" Yang Ermiao was stunned.

"At the end of the year, I figured out how to make plum blossom wine, with a slight bitter taste, if you introduce it to someone, you will say that the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, and someone will always buy it." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "I still have a small altar here, Shopkeeper Yang can try it." ”

When Jiang Xuehe and Yang Ermiao talked about business matters, everyone else would consciously avoid it, and at this time, only Yang Xiaohua and Diao Ruyue were usually by her side.

As soon as she finished speaking, Diao Ruyue helped her find the plum blossom wine and poured it into a glass plum blossom cup for Yang Ermiao to taste.

Yang Ermiao tasted it and couldn't help sighing: "It's really a good wine, although it has a bit of bitterness, but after it enters the throat, it has an endless aftertaste, tongue." The tip is still lingering with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which indeed responds to the phrase that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. ”

Yang Ermiao knew that Jiang Xuehe was very good at making wine, although most of the time it was the flower-stuffed fruit wine that the girl's family liked, mostly sweet or sweet and sour. But occasionally brewed a few chrysanthemum wine, bamboo leaf wine and the like, all of them are extraordinary, mellow and strong, very popular with literati and elegant guests.

"Now that spring is coming, there must be many students in the capital who have settled down. I heard that there are several places in the capital where students like to gather, and the shopkeeper Yang can take Meilan, Zhuju and the Four Gentlemen's Wine to sell in these restaurants. Jiang Xuehe proposed, "Of course, it's not to grab business with those restaurants, just to cooperate with them temporarily." ”

Yang Ermiao smiled: "Madam, don't worry, I understand what you mean." We have just arrived in the capital, and our foundation is unstable, and I am not stupid enough to grab business from others. When the time comes, I will take the Four Gentlemen's Wine to find a reliable restaurant and put it on his consignment. ”

Yang Ermiao watched Jiang Xuehe do business in the two years he was in Fucheng, and he had already figured out the preferences of these scholars. They will definitely like this kind of wine brewed by Jiang Xuehe, especially the sentence that the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, it must be a good luck for their imperial examination. As long as those restaurants know the goods, they will always cooperate with them, but if everyone cooperates, it will be less valuable.

"This wine is not easy to carry, and it has to be made freshly, so I think we will make wine at home first during this time."

Jiang Xuehe knew that there were many people in her yard who couldn't be idle, and now that she had found something for them to do, they should all be quite happy?

Anyway, Yang Xiaohua is very happy, she likes to drink, and she can find an opportunity to taste a few sips every time she makes wine. Jiang Xuehe has always watched her small movements, only occasionally reminding her, and will not accuse her.

However, Jiang Yuxuan was not interested in winemaking, so she picked the reddest and most colorful flower in the yard and began to study how to make Kodan.

Jiang Xuehe glanced over curiously: "Haven't you learned a few of Kodan's recipes?" ”

Jiang Yuxuan frowned and said: "I don't think those are really good recipes, not only is the method of coloring troublesome, it takes a long time, and it is easy to fade." I want to make a lot of colors and a color that lasts for a long time. ”

Jiang Xuehe touched her head and said with a smile: "Then you think about it slowly, no one has ever made this, if you can't do it, it's normal, and if you do, it's your great achievement." ”

Jiang Xuehe remembered that Fucheng did not have the kind of Kodan that Jiang Yuxuan said, but she was not sure if there was one in the capital. If there is no one in the capital, then if Jiang Yuxuan can develop it, she will definitely make a lot of money in the end. If Jiang Yuxuan can really develop it, then she will only earn this money alone in the future, and she will no longer interfere after she helps to do the business. In this way, as long as Jiang Yuxuan manages well, she will be able to hold a steady stream of private money in her hands when she marries in the future, and she will not suffer with her somewhat pungent temperament.

Jiang Yuxuan smiled sweetly: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely develop it, and when the time comes, I will definitely make our Huayanfang to the next level." ”

Jiang Yuxuan never thought of monopolizing anything, even if a lot of the incense powder and rouge in Huayanfang were developed by her alone, she still liked to share a share with each sister, because Jiang Xuehe also treated them like this. As for the two stinky boys at home, let them worry about it themselves!

The girls save money for private money to marry and live a good life, although the two stinky boys also want to save their wives, but it makes no sense that their three sisters will all make money in one craft, so they dare to wait for the money to be divided if they don't do anything!

If Jiang Xuehe knew Jiang Yuxuan's thoughts, she would definitely cry and laugh, after all, Jiang Qingzhu and Jiang Qinglin were still young to her. Although three years have passed now, the two younger brothers are already nine years old, but aren't they still children at the age of nine?

And I don't know if there are two crazy younger sisters to compare, Jiang Xuehe always feels that her two younger brothers are still six or seven years old.

When Jiang Xuehe took the girls in the family to make wine, Yang Ermiao went out to see the restaurant, and soon took a fancy to the three restaurants. After Jiang Xuehe brewed the first batch of wine, Yang Ermiao took the four gentlemen's wine to inquire one by one.

The first restaurant felt that their wine was the best in the capital, and they didn't bother to accept the wine they sent to their door, so they quickly drove Yang Ermiao out. The second restaurant tasted it and felt the taste, but seeing that Yang Ermiao was a fresh face, he felt that he found them because he had no way, so he kept the price very low.

Only the third restaurant is more kind.

The third restaurant is called the White Crane Tower, and like the previous two restaurants, the main source of customers are students from all over the world, but the White Crane Tower is not as lively as the first two. Yang Ermiao inquired before he came, and according to Jiang Xuehe, this restaurant would not engage in gimmicks.

The first two restaurants will come up with some interesting ideas or dishes every year to attract students, but the White Crane Tower has been bland, if it is not for the location and environment are very good, the furnishings inside are also very elegant, I am afraid that no one wants to come.

Yang Ermiao said that he was going to deliver wine, and the shopkeeper over there happily welcomed him in.

"Your wine is called the Four Gentlemen's Wine? Sounds interesting, I remember that Lanyuelou liked to get this kind of thing the most, why did they confiscate your wine? ”

Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "Lanyuelou said that their wine is the best in the capital except for the royal family and nobles, and they don't need us to provide them from outside." ”

The shopkeeper listened to it and felt strange in his heart: "Lanyue Lou is right, I have tasted their wine, and the taste is really good, unlike the one in our building, which is always a little bland." ”

The wine in the White Crane Tower is generally brewed by the white shopkeeper himself, and they have no other people's brewing recipes, and they think about any wine by themselves, and even the tea in the building is a lot of their own planting. It's not that these things are bad, but they are always a little less flavorful than those in other buildings. Therefore, the White Crane Tower also has another name, called Yiwei Building.

The scholars are always very thoughtful, and they feel that the things in the White Crane Tower are a little less flavorful, but they will go there from time to time to sit. I feel that if they get carried away, they should go there to sober up, so the business of the White Crane Tower can be maintained forever.

But the white shopkeeper was not very satisfied with this nickname, and always wanted to improve it, so he let Yang Ermiao in.
