Chapter 64: A New Challenge

"Father is wise!" Zhou Yi sneered, as if he had seen Ye Xu kneeling down to him and begging for mercy not long after.

The markets in many parts of the Great Xuan Dynasty had such an unwritten rule.

Major manufacturers, such as wineries and cloth factories, will not directly provide supplies to the people, they all have to go through local merchants to purchase, and then the people can buy the products they want from the merchants.

To put it bluntly, there is to have a middleman to make the difference.

Therefore, once these wine merchants did not go to Ye Xu to buy goods, then no matter how good Ye Xu's products were, they would not be able to flow into the hands of the people.

Moreover, these wine merchants in Wuping County are basically the masters who have been drinking soup behind Zhou Laifu's ass for a long time, so they are naturally interested in Zhou Laifu.

"Ye Xu, the old man wants to see if you have the ability to take the old man again!" Zhou Laifu looked coldly into the distance and said.

The next day, Ye Xu's drunken escape soon began to operate.

In order to further preserve the secret recipe of his wine, Ye Xu adopted the model of the factory assembly line, divided twenty or thirty villagers into six batches and arranged them to work in two wineries, and deliberately disrupted the order.

The winemaking process takes about seven or eight days, so Ye Xu has no time to manage the affairs of Zuixianlou and the Book Club these days, and concentrates on focusing on the winery.

When he has free time, Ye Xu is still thinking about how to make a high-purity distilled spirit similar to brandy through the winemaking technology of this era.

After all, wine is such a thing as wine, beer and liquor in the 21st century alone, there are so many varieties of wine, beer, and liquor, and if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must not be limited to only making wine.

However, because there is no more advanced distillation equipment at present, the results are not ideal.

Soon, more than ten days passed.

Ye Xu's drunkenness has also reached the day when the first batch of wines will be out of the cellar.

Ye Xu sat in the winery with confidence, ready to wait for batch after batch of orders to arrive.

After all, as far as the reputation of their own wine is concerned, there must be a large number of wine merchants who come to buy it for themselves.

But to Ye Xu's surprise, a morning passed, and no wine merchant came to visit!

"Brother Xu, what's going on? It shouldn't be, there were dozens of taels of silver and a pot of wine in Zuixianlou before, and people rushed to buy it, why didn't any wine merchants come to us to buy it today? Are they putting money away and not making money? Or do they not know how to open a winery? Wu Zhuang said in confusion.

Don't know if we open a winery? With Ye Xu's powerful appearance, even a three-year-old child in Wuping County now knows that he will open a winery again, and this group of wine merchants doesn't know?

Ye Xu shook his head, his eyes were full of incomprehension, and then instructed Ye Xu to say: "You help me gather our major wine merchants in Wuping County later, and say that I, Ye Xu, will invite them to the Drunken Immortal Building at night!" ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away, Brother Xu." After Wu Zhuang agreed, he hurriedly set off to contact the major wine merchants in Wuping County.

In the evening, the drunken fairy building.

"Brother Xu, who are you going to greet with such a big row today?" Ju'er asked after serving the last course.

"You'll find out later." Ye Xu said with a smile.

After a while, Wu Zhuang walked in dejectedly.

"Yo? Is Boss Wu back? Ju'er smiled with a lovely face, and teased Wu Zhuang in his words: "Boss Wu has been out early and returned late these days, it seems that the winery is doing a good job." When the time comes, don't forget to bow me. ”

Wu Zhuang didn't bother Ju'er too much, walked up to Ye Xu and said in disappointment: "Brother Xu, today I ran over more than a dozen of our wine merchants in Wuping, and they all shirked and said that there was something wrong and they didn't want to come..."

Ye Xu nodded lightly, as if he had guessed this result in his heart.

It must be the old guy Zhou Laifu again...

It doesn't seem like it's going to be that easy to bring down this old guy.

"Brother Xu, what should we do with that kiln of wine? You can't just throw it away. Wu Zhuang said very unwillingly.

In the past ten days, Wu Zhuang has almost slept in the winery, and when he thought that his hard work was gone, Wu Zhuang was unwilling in his heart.

"It's okay, I have a countermeasure in my heart, you can help me call Zhao Popi over tomorrow." Ye Xu said.

"Take a seat, let's have a meal together, otherwise the food will be cold."

The next day.

"Let's go, Zhao Popi, what are you doing grinding and chirping?" Wu Zhuang kicked and kicked Zhao Popi to the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Boss Wu, what are you doing here? I haven't done anything to offend you these days! Didn't you say that if I told you about Liu San'er's life experience, it would be written off? Zhao Popi said to Wu Zhuang with a smile.

"Where is so much nonsense, Brother Xu is looking for you!" Wu Zhuang shouted.

Ye Xu sat in the middle of the drunken immortal building, looked at Zhao Popi, suddenly changed his previous attitude, and said kindly: "Zhao Popi, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have been a lot more mellow, it seems that you have eaten and drunk well recently." ”

Zhao Popi spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Shopkeeper Ye, don't tease me, since the incident of the eldest son of Zhou, the Zhou family has ignored us, and now I and our brothers can only eat one meal a day!" ”

"Only one meal?" Ye Xu clapped his hands, showing a look of sympathy, and said to Wu Zhuang beside him: "Wu Zhuang, hurry up, Brother Splash, no, invite Brother Zhao's brothers to our Drunken Immortal Mansion to entertain you!" Don't let them go hungry! ”

"Don't, don't, shopkeeper Ye!" Zhao Popi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We didn't pay, and we will be beaten by you again when the time comes!" ”

"If you say that, we'll beat you!" Ye Xu said. seems to have forgotten all about beating Zhao Popi not long ago.

Seeing Ye Xu like this, Zhao Popi was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Ye Gongzi, you have a lot of adults, I really didn't mean to steal food in your store that day and didn't pay, I was really hungry and scared, I will definitely pay it back next time I have money!" ”

Ye Xu saw this situation, obediently, this Zhao Popi has also eaten and drunk in his own store!

"Brother Splash." Ye Xu picked up Zhao Popi, flicked the dust on his clothes and said, "Brother Popi, where is I, Ye Xu, the kind of unreasonable person!" I said that if you are hungry, you can come to my Zuixian Mansion to eat at any time! ”

"Is the shopkeeper Ye serious?" Zhao Popi looked at Ye Xu with a little disbelief.

"Not really! Wu Zhuang, you go to the back kitchen to make arrangements, open a private room alone, and I want to entertain Brother Popi and his brothers. Ye Xu said to Wu Zhuang, then turned to Zhao Popi and said, "But I have one condition." ”

Zhao Popi thought to himself, it turns out that he is waiting for me here!
