Chapter 3: Sanyangmen
At noon, in order to celebrate, my sister-in-law specially fried two side dishes and drank a small cup of freshly cooked two-pot head.
Liu Zhiyin has been drinking wine all year round, but it is the first time to drink Erguotou, his cheeks are crimson, looking at Li Changan, there seems to be water waves flowing in his big eyes, "Erlang, you seem to have changed......"
"Sister-in-law, from now on, I will support this family."
Li Changan said while eating the food.
Liu Zhiyin bowed slightly, and the sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes was like a dark cloud in the sun, without a trace.
After eating, the uncle and sister-in-law were busy for another hour.
Get a jar of pot wine, and half a jar of two pots.
The alcohol content of the first pot wine is slightly lower, but it can already be called a fine wine.
The second pot head is even more fragrant, the wine quality is mellow, and the stamina is long.
After Li Changan kept a small half of the pot of wine and the second pot of wine, he pulled Liu Zhiyin to mix the new wine.
"Erlang, we finally made such a good wine, why do we still have to mix it with water?" Liu Zhiyin was puzzled.
"Such a good wine can only be used in big restaurants, but we are a little-known small winery, and the price will definitely be lowered." Li Changan added water little by little, tasting the taste of new wine,
"And such a good wine is too eye-catching, you have to be careful."
"Let's just make something that's slightly better than the liquor store."
Liu Zhiyin nodded as if he didn't understand, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Li Changan blended the new wine and let Liu Zhiyin taste it, which was quite in line with expectations.
It's a little better than the wine sold in the liquor store, but it's not much better.
"Let's go to the wine market in Sanyangmen to have a look." Li Chang installed a gourd of new wine.
If you want to sell alcohol, there are three ways.
The first time I went to the wine market, every day at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, each liquor store and small restaurant will send people to order the drinks needed for the next day.
Big restaurants have their own purchase channels, and basically don't come to the wine market to find these low-end wines.
The seller will receive a wooden plaque with the name of the winery, the price of the wine, the quantity to offer, and of course some samples to be offered, which will be chosen by the buyer.
This is the most important way.
There is also door-to-door sales, but each liquor store will basically go to the wine market to choose wine, so the success rate of door-to-door sales is not high.
Finally, it is to sell loose liquor on the street, which is also the last thing that the wine sellers in the wine shop are willing to do.
Li Changan is going to try it at the wine market.
Sanyangmen,
The most lively boundary in Linxian County, Huaiyang, Zhenyang and Anyang three streets, plus eight alleys, bring together more than seventy percent of the business in Linxian County.
The uncle and sister-in-law changed their clothes, Liu Zhiyin thought about it, and brought another fifty yuan.
I guess I'll have to buy some food outside for dinner.
After walking for half an hour, when he came to Sanyangmen, Li Changan breathed a few breaths of relief, shocked by everything he saw in front of him.
The streets are all bluestone slabs, wide and smooth, and the shops on both sides are hung with neat lanterns.
Street vendors and vendors are hawking along the street, pushing carts or setting up stalls, which is very lively.
These were not the things that surprised Li Changan the most.
To his surprise, the places where these small traders and vendors set up their stalls were all zoned to a specific boundary, which would not affect the shops behind them, nor the cars and horses on the street.
The level of street planning is comparable to that of later generations.
Stopping and stopping all the way, Li Changan carefully observed the big restaurants and small wine shops here in Sanyangmen.
This includes the number of visitors to the store, as well as the wooden signs hanging in the store.
Everything is fresh.
The former body was sick in bed and never came out all year round.
In addition to observing the restaurant, Li Changan also went into the hook bar for a turn, singing tunes and talking books on the stage, only a small half of the people who drank in the audience, most of them just drank tea and teased three or two friends.
Liu Zhiyin bought a piece of bread and tore most of it for Li Changan, only pinching less than a quarter of it himself, chewing it in small bites.
Li Changan couldn't help but say, and gave Liu Zhiyin half of it.
The dough is chewy but tastes ...... It's hard to put into words.
It's just enough to fill your stomach.
Walking the entire Zhenyang Street, Li Changan found an interesting thing, the food sold on the street is basically these cakes and noodles.
If you want to eat some delicious snacks to fill your stomach, don't even think about it.
Li Changan had a faint idea in his mind.
At this time, a voice of surprise mixed with surprise came,
"Bosom friend? How did you get out? ”
Li Changan saw that it was a simple woman wearing a clear cloth cotton coat.
Liu Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, and then walked over in surprise,
"Xiaolan, why are you here?"
Li Changan leaned towards the side of the road, avoiding the pedestrian carriage and did not come up.
Xiaolan sells seasonal fruits, apples, citrus, and a bunch of ...... Hawthorn fruit?
The condition is ok, but the quantity is not much.
It is estimated that I am worried that it will not be sold out on the same day, and it will not be easy to preserve.
I faintly heard the conversation of the two daughters in my ears,
"Your brother-in-law is not seriously ill, why can he still go out today?"
"It just got a little better yesterday."
"What about Linglong? Why didn't I come out with you? ”
“……”
After chatting for two minutes, someone came over to see the fruit, and Liu Zhiyin took his leave.
"You were seriously ill before, and she had several other sisters who helped me sell alcohol." Liu Zhiyin said, "I haven't seen each other for a while, but I didn't expect them to come out to set up stalls." ”
"You shouldn't be able to make any money by setting up this kind of fruit stand, right?"
Li Changan glanced back, the person didn't buy it just now, Xiaolan could only sit on the small stool in disappointment and continue to wait for the next person.
"Yes, they can't sell for money, there is an orchard not far from the city, and they buy their goods from the orchard." Liu Zhiyin stuffed Li Changan with a small piece of bread,
"Unless they don't have time to go out of the city, or if they really don't have a bad money, most of them will run a few more steps and go to the orchard to buy, which can be cheaper."
"Is that hawthorn fruit easy to sell?" Li Changan asked.
"Hawthorn fruit? It's sour and astringent, and occasionally eats one to relieve cravings, and it's uncomfortable to eat too much. Liu Zhiyin said, "No one buys two pennies or a catty." ”
Li Changan nodded thoughtfully.
The people on the street, as well as the dolls running around, have nothing to eat, which is really anxious.
A snack street in later generations? Can you try it too?
The plans that come to mind are becoming more and more concrete.
There was still more than half an hour before the opening of the wine market, Li Changan found a secluded place, took out a piece of paper from the bamboo basket behind him and began to write and draw.
"There are 43 wine shops, 8 Goolan, 9 large restaurants, and 85 small restaurants."
"These are all things that can be sold."
"In the big restaurant, there is only one Mochizuki Building that collects wine from the outside world......"
"Forget it, it's not safe."
Li Changan thought about it and crossed out the big restaurant.
The puff is not guilty of his crimes.
Liu Zhiyin asked softly,
"Erlang, what are you writing?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to sell it." Li Changan also listed several liquor shops with good business.
"By the way, sister-in-law, is that little Sister Lan you met today reliable?"
"What are you asking for?" Liu Zhiyin nodded, "Of course it's reliable, when our family was in trouble, Xiaolan and the other three sisters helped our family a lot." ”
Li Changan rubbed his hands, "Then can my sister-in-law invite them to the house tomorrow?" ”
Liu Zhiyin immediately raised his eyes and looked at Li Changan, "Erlang, they are all married, can't you ......?"
Li Changan couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister-in-law, where do you want to go?" I don't think so. ”
"Really?"
"Not really."
"Then you looked back at Xiaolan several times today." Liu Zhiyin still didn't believe it.
"I just look at the fruits she sells, and in my eyes, my sister-in-law is a hundred times more beautiful than Xiaolan......"
Li Changan stopped talking as he spoke.
Liu Zhiyin's pretty face was flushed, like a peach blossom in spring, and her voice was like a mosquito, "No...... No nonsense. ”
It's autumn at the end of October, and there's a little warmth in the wind for some reason.
Li Changan hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that the trance that appeared in his eyes just now would be noticed by his sister-in-law.
Half an hour has passed,
The lantern at the entrance of the wine market is lit up.
Li Changan hurriedly got up, "Sister-in-law, let's go, try to sell the wine tonight." ”
