Chapter 513 Still no one is optimistic
In fact, they are right, as Hu Cheng said before, Dulonggang has not done a winemaking workshop for several generations, you know, this private winemaking is not comparable to a big workshop.
Zhu Biao is only sixteen years old, even if he subdues the tiger, he may not be able to subdue people's hearts, how can the tricks in the wine shop be so easy to master?
Not to mention whether you can sell the wine or not, it is not easy to make a drinkable wine.
There are not one or two wineries on the market that have gone bankrupt and lost money.
After the banquet, Li Ying and Hu Cheng left one after another.
After Li Cheng went back, he summoned his henchman Du Xing, and when he said this, Du Xing thought for a moment and said: "The big official, the villain also thinks that this Zhu Biao is crazy and loses his heart, isn't there any side effect of practicing martial arts, and he has become stupid?" β
When Li Ying heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "You kid dare to make fun of this guy, I'm not afraid that this Zhu Biao will hear about giving you a punch, even if it is five of you, you can't afford it." β
Du Xing said with a smile: "The villain is just joking a few words in front of the big officials, and in front of Zhu Biao, the villain will naturally be cautious." β
Li Ying said with a smile: "I am naturally provincial, but I have never understood it, this is a good and decent person, why do you want to do that winemaking business?" Could it be that he has found a market for wine? The name of the wine I gave him is all common in this generation of restaurants, and there are home-brewed moonshine wines in the countryside, who will buy his wine? β
Du Xing said with a smile: "I heard that he took the big insect to the street, and the county lord met him and went to the restaurant to drink and talk with him, did he persuade the county to buy the wine he brewed all over the county?" β
Li Ying smiled and said, "What's the use of persuading the county honor?" Those restaurants in the county seat, the one behind is not supported by the head snake, or is the Yamen Bookstore a shareholder? Even if the county respects the promise, without these people nodding, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Anyway, don't mention this, I'll lie down and see where Zhu Biao goes! β
Hu Cheng returned home and also told Hu Taigong, Hu Taigong frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "Now that the price of grain is high, if your sister-in-law makes wine, how do you think you can recover the cost?" β
Hu Cheng frowned and said: "If you want to make good wine, you must have rice and wheat; But if it's just cheap, you can use sorghum, this thing can be harvested in drought and flood, and the price is not expensive, but sorghum can be used as the base material to make wine, and the wine can't be drunk at all, I haven't made wine, and I know it! β
Hu Cheng continued: "Maybe sell it to the bitter haha? How can I sell it for a few bucks? Didn't he want to sell to the Khitans in the north? But the Khitan nobles naturally drink good wine, and the Khitan below is bitter haha, even if you like to drink it, but you can't afford to buy those bitter haha? β
Hu Taigong smiled: "What you said is right, but it's a pity that Zhu Biao, this child, is young and ambitious, I'm afraid that I will be blinded by this hero's majesty. β
They didn't know that at this time, Zhu Biao had already recruited three winemakers who had done winery in the past, and said with a smile: "This is the signing document, this is the silver money, you look for someone from the yamen or someone you know, and sign it if you are satisfied, two times a month, and take care of food and housing; If you don't feel good, don't worry, just don't sign it. β
Although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, but the taxes were also heavy, especially Cai Jing, a famous traitor in history, openly proposed to the emperor the strategic concept of "Fengheng Yuda", which tickled the bastard emperor, so the ruler of Bianjing City sang and danced and sang every night, which was simply a very prosperous world; However, Cai Jing and his party members seized the opportunity to exploit the people on a large scale under the banner of "changing the law", causing great damage to social production.
Therefore, the bankruptcy of the winery abounds, because no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it cannot stand the exploitation of the officials, and if the relationship is not in place, then bankruptcy is inevitable.
The three in front of him are all people from Yanggu County, and the leader is called Fang Canghai, who turned out to be the shopkeeper of an excellent winery in Yanggu County, apprenticed at the age of twelve or thirteen, and became a big worker in the fire and cutting materials step by step, and was promoted to the shopkeeper. And the other two are the apprentices he brought out, one is called Yuan Xiaoying, Yuan Xiaoxiong, originally he also had two capable apprentices, respectively called Yuan Xiaohao Yuan Xiaojie, because of his bad temper, he collided with nobles, and was killed by someone who designed to use Jianghu hawkers.
They work hard for a year, and the hard-earned money is not enough to make the usual money, and those guys in normal shops, even if they can eat enough when they are apprentices for three years, even if they don't want to take the salary, even if they get the salary, it is considered rich and abnormal to get two or three times a year.
And take two times a month, I'm afraid it's a guy from the famous Fan Lou in Bianjing City who has this treatment.
Although Fang Canghai couldn't believe that pie would fall from the sky, he couldn't resist the temptation after all, so he took the documents and went to the county seat, consulted with the priest who was familiar with him before, and inquired about Zhu Biao's majestic deeds, and finally put his mind at ease and signed a clerical contract with Zhu Biao.
Soon Zhujiazhuang hired workers in Pantuo Road, built a winery, and arranged for people to buy sorghum on a large scale.
"What? Zhu Biao's house bought sorghum on a large scale, and dozens of stones have been entered in the past few days? He's crazy? Zhu Taigong will not stop it? β
In Lijiazhuang, Li responded to Duchen.
Du Xing also looked puzzled: "I didn't expect this Zhu Biao to play really, what is there to drink sorghum wine?" One bite of the head hurts like being cut off by an axe, even if our tenants in Lijiazhuang rarely drink it? β
Li Ying sneered: "At the banquet that day, I also persuaded it, hum, don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you!" The day he rises and drinks, see how he ends! β
In Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao is looking at the training of the escort team, after more than 20 days of rigorous training, the escort team has barely looked good, not only can distinguish the front and back, left and right, but also can practice together with a bamboo pole, quite a trace of formation.
At this time, Zhu Santong came to report: "San Lang, there is a person in the family, and San Lang is afraid that he will greet him in person." β
"Oh, who?"
Zhu Santong smiled and said, "But it is the lady who has not passed the door of San Lang, the housemother of the villain, the daughter of Hujiazhuang, and the one who is called Yizhang Qing." β
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and gently patted Zhu Santong's head: "You guy, you dare to make fun of the master!" β
When his fiancΓ©e came to visit, Zhu Biao naturally wanted to see him, he temporarily put down his things and rushed to the hall, and saw his mother pulling a girl in a strong suit, asking softly, and seeing Zhu Biao enter the door, the girl glanced at him, and her face gradually turned red.
Zhu Biao stepped forward to say hello with a smile, everyone sat down separately, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I heard Brother Hu say, Sanniang practices martial arts diligently every day, and the two of them are superb, why are you free to come here today?" β
