The hot pot was served on the table, Xie An couldn't wait to burn a piece of hairy belly, and swallowed it in one gulp, before he was satisfied: "Shopkeeper, if you don't eat this hot pot every few days, my heart will itch, and I don't know what secrets I eat."

Capsaicin, which secretes dopamine after eating, will judge this behavior as pleasure in the head, and of course the more you eat, the more you want to eat.

But Liu Ming only dared to think about it in his heart.

If you really want to say it, Xie An can't understand it.

Xie An was in a good mood today, even if there was trouble in the outer room, it didn't affect his mood at all.

He actually made an unprecedented decision to let the two kidnappers sit at the table together.

This era is an era of clear priorities, and servants cannot eat at the same table as the master's family.

Every time Xie An came to eat hot pot, the servants stood next to him, and they were so hungry for the fragrance.

Suddenly, Xie An rewarded them to the table, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

Xie An didn't care, and even took the initiative to give them the waist slices to be cooked, and one person gave them one.

"Eat, the door is closed today, we don't care about priorities."

"Thank you, master!"

With tears in their eyes, the two servants stuffed their loins into their mouths.

It doesn't matter what the taste of this waist piece is, what matters is Xie An's kindness to them......

Liu Ming was on the side, looking very embarrassed.

He is a modern person, no matter how big the boss is, he will eat with the driver, and whoever cooks the food will eat at the same table.

Where have you ever seen such exquisiteness?

As everyone knows, his normal thinking is so rebellious in this era.

"Shopkeeper, guess what, what is the current market price of your brandy?"

Xie An's words pulled his thoughts back, and he asked tentatively: ?"

Xie An shook his head: "Be bold."

？」 Liu Ming said tentatively again.

"It's not that fast, but the reservation of ten taels is already full."

Xie An smiled, excited: "The profit of this wine is about to catch up with me."

"Wow......

Ten taels and one catty, and two hundred catties is two thousand taels.

Liu Ming's eyes were about to turn into money.

"Also, shopkeeper, you have to think of ideas to increase the production of grapes."

Xie An was against increasing production before, why did he suddenly agree?

Liu Ming looked at him with some curiosity, but he didn't think so, and continued: "Your idea is right, before selling wine, those drinkers came to taste it, your wine is stronger, and the taste is better, and when they become repeat customers, the old man let his subordinates start selling brandy, and they will sell their names at once."

"And then?"

"Then, this wine is all the rage, and all the restaurants in Dongcheng are looking for the old man to order this grape wine."

All East Side?

Dongcheng has a population of 100,000, and there are thousands of restaurants and restaurants, and if each family has to prepare fruit wine, it is not a small amount.

"I wondered, if I want to do it, I can just make it bigger and increase the yield of grape wine, how about it?"

Xie An's eyes exuded brilliance.

But Liu Ming made a difficulty.

"The fruits in Mingyang County are almost sold out by me......

The current dilemma is indeed here.

There are only more than 30,000 people in Mingyang County, and due to various economic reasons, anyone who has some ability will leave Mingyang County.

The population can be maintained because of the security that Li Lu's team patrols day and night.

Now the fruits produced by the farmers are basically harvested by him, and there are no raw materials to make wine.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Xie An laughed and said, "What a big deal, I will help the ten counties of Dongcheng, how much do you want, I will buy you as much as you want."

Liu Ming looked embarrassed and said, "No, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but the time between picking the fruit and transporting it is too long, and it is even farther away

It takes more than ten days to arrive, and the cost is not to be discussed, and the wine made from such a fruit has a very poor taste, and it smashes the signboard."

Xie An sighed a little, and said anxiously, "Is there really no way?"

"It's not completely impossible......

Hearing Liu Ming say this, Xie An immediately said excitedly: "Shopkeeper, you said that the old man Cao helps with talents, as long as you have a way, the old man will do his best."

Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "Let's grow our own fruits......

Liu Ming himself has this idea, but the output of his hundreds of acres of land is estimated to be unable to keep up.

After all, agriculture in this era has no chemical fertilizers, and there is no herbicide and other auxiliaries, which basically belongs to planting, pulling grass, and watering a lot of dung.

How much can be produced depends on the will of God.

Therefore, we can only increase the planting area, plant hard, and rely on the amount to pile up.

"Grow your own?"

Sure enough, Xie An was stunned when he heard it.

In this era, the transportation capacity cannot be reached, and people who grow fruits generally sell fruits on the spot, and they have to sell them quickly.

Otherwise, the rate of decay is greater than the rate of sale, and a year will be considered for nothing.

Not only in this era, but even in the late Qing Dynasty recorded in the annals, the queen could only eat lychees, and she could only divide them into three, two for the concubine, and one for the unspoiled.

Modern transport capacity solves a lot of troubles and can send fish from the northeast to the southwest alive.

In ancient times, it was only possible if the gods came into the world.

Therefore, the fruit farmers in Mingyang County will be exploited by them because of the barrier of fruit sellers.

Growing fruit on a large scale is beyond cognition.

"The difficulty of the fruit farmers is that they can't sell it, but we are not afraid, we can turn the fruit into fruit wine, I can eat as much as I want, they have a fixed amount of money to harvest, so they are naturally willing to plant, and we can also get cheap fruit and make a little more money." qδ.o

Liu Ming looked at Xie An seriously and said, "Start this year, let's have a bumper harvest next year and make more money, how about it?"

Xie An thought for a moment, and then said, "It's a good idea......

"Let's build 10,000 acres of land, do you want to do it together?"

Liu Ming urged.

Xie An thought about it again, and then said, "10,000 acres of land...... 2,000 long-term laborers are to be given half a tael of silver in a month in Dongcheng, and a thousand taels of silver in a month, which is not a small amount......

"Why do you give money?" Liu Ming was surprised: "Let's take care of their meals, what they grow belongs to their own income, I set the standard, divided into three grades to collect, the price of superior products is high, the price of inferior products is low, they want to earn more silver, they have to work hard to grow excellent products, isn't this okay?"

"Rice ......"

Xie An continued to hesitate: "A long-term worker has to eat more than one pound of rice and noodles a day, close to two catties, even if it is only a big money, two thousand long-term workers, the cost of a day is nearly ten taels of silver, and a month is also nearly three hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount......

Liu Ming patted his chest and said, "Let's divide the labor and cooperate, I will leave the food to me, I will be responsible, and the farm tools and land rent will be yours, how about it?"

Xie An scratched his head when he heard this.

Farm tools are not worth much, and the land rent in Mingyang is also very cheap.

Compared with the money for food, his expenditure is only 1,200 taels of silver a year......

It seems, he still earned?

Xie An thought about it for a while, and immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay, this matter is settled!"
