Chapter 269: Lin Huakui's plan
There is a reason why Lin Xian'er is suddenly irritable and depressed, and the reason why she has become like this is because the fake drunken immortal wine that she thought was a trick has now become her trouble.
Originally, she thought that she had cracked the secret of drunken fairy wine, and she could make a lot of money to support the army of her imperial court, but she thought that the business was good, not only was the steamed wine robbed every day for more than a month, but also accepted hundreds of thousands of catties of orders, she thought that this would really be able to deliver a steady stream of silver for her country, so she ordered a crazy stove steamer for steaming wine, who would have thought, when she put the daily steaming wine volume to thousands of catties, her subordinates told him that the price of food had risen, Soon his men told him that he could not buy food.
The main raw material of drunken immortal wine is grain, and if you can't buy food, no matter how much steaming equipment you have, it's useless. What's more serious is that those who have made reservations can't deliver the goods, and they have to pay compensation, which is astronomical.
Of course, she can also give up the sake brewing workshop, and the person in charge of steaming sake doesn't know that she is the boss behind the scenes, so she doesn't have to worry about being implicated at all. However, she was unwilling, could it be that the "secret" of steaming wine that she had worked so hard to get was just given up? Have you given up so much manpower, material and financial resources that have been invested in the front?
The most important thing is that now your country needs silver, otherwise, how can you fight against Beimeng ah.......
Lin Xian'er had been sitting motionless in the room all day, and Xiao Tao looked at her with red eyes and little Wang, but there was no way at all, because they really couldn't think of a way to solve the worries of "Miss".
What to do? The grain purchased before was enough for two days at most, but now not a single grain of grain can be bought, which means that two days later, the steaming workshop will be shut down.
Do you really want to give it up? Lin Xian'er was reluctant.
However, she really couldn't think of a way to buy food.
"Wait for Donghai to come over." Suddenly, Lin Xian'er, who had been silent all day, spoke.
"Yes, the slave will go and ask the shopkeeper immediately." Xiaohong was overjoyed and excited, no matter what, it was better to speak than not to speak.
Hou Donghai has also been very troubled recently, to put it in detail, he is even more troubled than Lin Xian'er, because he handled the matter of drunken immortal wine from beginning to end, originally, this is a great achievement, but now it is good, not only is the great credit gone, but there are also a lot of things that I don't know how to deal with the aftermath.
In addition to not knowing how to deal with the aftermath, he also had to worry about how his master, that is, Lin Xian'er, would punish him. In Happy Building, he is the shopkeeper and Lin Xian'er's boss, but in fact, Lin Xian'er is the master.
"Commander Hou, the princess is invited." When Hou Donghai was in a daze in the room, Xiaohong came.
"Shhhhh Hou Donghai was taken aback and said with a dark face.
"Hmph, this is the shopkeeper's room, who will come, unless Commander Hou hides the woman's ...... in the room." Xiaohong said with a smile.
"Nonsense......." Hou Donghai paused for a moment, and said in a suppressed voice, "Do you know what the princess is calling?" ”
"I don't know, I guess, it should still be a matter of drunken immortal wine, alas, it was originally a great thing, but now it has become a big disaster, it's really unlucky." Xiaohong whispered.
"yes, who's to say it isn't... Xiaohong, how is the princess feeling? Hou Donghai asked while chasing Xiaohong out.
"Not good... Shopkeeper Hou is careful. Xiaohong said.
"Ugh......." Hou Donghai could only sigh, there was nothing he could do.
After a while, Hou Donghai followed Xiaohong to Lin Xian'er's room, Xiaohong and Xiaotao stood outside the door, and Hou Donghai entered the room nervously.
"Hou Donghai meets the princess......." Hou Donghai didn't care about revealing his identity, walked to Lin Xian'er two meters away, and saluted respectfully.
"Shopkeeper Hou is here, please take a seat." Lin Xian'er turned around, glared at Hou Donghai and said.
"Humble... Let's not sit down. Hou Donghai bowed and said.
"You are the shopkeeper, if you don't sit on me, won't I be able to sit?" Lin Xian'er was a little annoyed.
Hou Donghai was overjoyed and said secretly, the princess said this, she shouldn't be looking for herself to punish her, so she sat on the chair carefully.
"Male... Forest... What's the matter with the fairy girl...... After Hou Donghai sat down, he returned to his true character as a shopkeeper.
Lin Xian'er glanced at the door and knew that Xiaohong Xiaotao was guarding outside, so she said lightly: "Drunken Immortal Wine... Do you have any plans? ”
"There is no good plan, if we don't give up, we can only buy grain at a high price, otherwise, those scheduled compensation will pay us into Hanako." Hou Donghai paused for a moment and said, "I feel that it may be the best way to give up." ”
"Abandoned? At the beginning, you spent so much effort to get the production method of drunken immortal wine, and spent so much money to build such a large workshop, but you actually said that you would give up? On top of that, front-line soldiers need to be paid. Lin Xian'er said in a deep voice.
Obviously, she is unwilling to give up the drunken immortal wine, not only because she invested too much in the early stage, but more importantly, this is a way to make money. There is "no rice" at home, and you need silver. Steaming wine is a good way to make money, a legitimate way to make money.
"But... Princess... If you buy grain and steamed wine at a high price, there is almost no profit, wouldn't that be a waste of toss? On top of that, smuggled grain may not be bought. Hou Donghai felt that it was really not cost-effective to do this, so it was better to give up.
"Even if there is no profit now, we should not give up, because there is no grain now, just because of the drought in the west, the harvest will be lost, and after surviving these few months, after the summer grain is opened next year, the profits will come back." Lin Xian'er stood up, walked to the window, looked at Qiantang Lake outside the window and said, "Besides, doesn't Commander Hou think this matter is very strange?" ”
"What's the matter?" Hou Donghai was stunned for a moment and said.
"The price of our drunken immortal wine is almost the same as the price of Ruyi Warehouse, why are so many people suddenly pre-ordering?" This is the question that Lin Xian'er thought of in a daze for the past two days.
"The princess suspects someone ......." Hou Donghai suddenly brightened up, stood up and bowed and said, "Go and check immediately." ”
"Well, let's buy grain at a high price and negotiate at the same time." Lin Xian'er turned around and said, "Talk to those scheduled merchants, if they can postpone, we will make up their silver." ”
"Replenishment of silver? They should not be willing to do it, how much can they make up? The damages for breach of contract are three times greater. Hou Donghai felt that no one would agree to compensate and postpone a few deliveries, insisting that the original delivery date was good, and if he couldn't hand it over, he would be in breach of contract, and he would earn three times without doing anything.
"Stupid, it's not the goal for them to disagree, it's to try their reaction, if they all react the same way... Isn't that obvious? Lin Xian'er said with a glare.
Hou Donghai was stunned for a moment, then saluted and said, "I understand the humble position, I will do it immediately." ”
There are some things, I always feel heavy when I don't decide, but once I decide, no matter what the result is, I will feel relaxed, since I decided to buy grain at a high price and continue to steam wine, Lin Xian'er's mood is better, and her brows are relaxed.
"Princess... The one surnamed Ma came to ....... Lin Xian'er was drinking tea in the room, and Xiao Tao came in to report.
"Who? Surnamed Ma? Which surname is Ma? Lin Xian'er was stunned, how could Xiao Tao not be able to speak clearly.
"It's just... It's that horse... Horse what... Mahan Mountain ....... Xiao Tao stammered and said that she really almost forgot what Ma Hanshan's name was, she only remembered that Ma Hanshan's surname was Ma and Ma Hanshan announced that night that Lin Huakui was his, and no one else was allowed to touch Lin Xian'er's domineering.
"Huh? Is he back in Lin'an? He hasn't been here in over a year, has he? Hou Donghai, this bastard, doesn't know? Lin Xian'er is different from Xiao Tao, she not only remembers Ma Hanshan's domineering and heroic appearance that night, she also remembers Ma Hanshan's name. Because, Ma Hanshan wants to "monopolize" her, which is exactly what she wants.
She hid her identity in the dust, although there are many ways to deal with those prodigals, but it is really annoying to have to deal with different people every day, and it is easier to deal with one than so many.
However, what he didn't expect was that although Ma Hanshan said that he wanted to monopolize her, he later forgot about her at all. For this reason, she also went to Lin'an Garden twice to make trouble, so that everyone in Lin'an knew that she was a "master" person.
"I've inquired, that bastard quietly returned to Lin'an yesterday." Xiao Tao glanced at Lin Xian'er and said, "Gong... Miss... He may really like Miss, otherwise, why would he come back to the door. ”
"Nonsense." Lin Xian'er glared at Xiao Tao and said, "Where's that bastard?" In the front building? ”
Lin Xian'er is the queen of flowers, the Oiran of the Happy Building, there is a room to greet guests alone, and there is a small courtyard in the backyard where she lives alone.
"One of the people who got up with Shi Yu set up wine on Tianzi No. 9, as if he was going to invite someone." Xiao Tao said.
"Well, didn't mention me?" Lin Xian'er reinstated the role of the queen of flowers.
"Not ...... now." Xiao Tao thought it was very strange, why didn't this bastard surnamed Ma come to the Happy Building to find the princess?
"Well, isn't that weird? Go and wait, and see who he is going to feast on. Lin Xian'er said with a deep groan.
Xiao Tao answered yes, saluted, and then hurried to Tianzilou.
Ma Hanshan wants to invite Yang Xianhe, Long Youwan and Long Tingzhi tonight, these three people are the leaders of those who make trouble, and they are courteous before the soldiers, treat each other with courtesy, and persuade them not to make trouble, if they don't listen, then the next thing is to use means.
In fact, according to Ma Hanshan's own meaning, he was too lazy to take this step, and just went directly to the means. But Su Ying said that it is not advisable to make too many enemies, and it is the so-called husband to salute first and then soldier.
Su Ying's words, Ma Hanshan can still listen to them.
"Brother Shi, what time did you make an appointment with them?" Ma Hanshan drank a pot of tea, and before he saw Yang Xianhe and them coming, he couldn't help but be a little irritable.
"At the beginning of the unitary period." Shi Yuzhi was a little angry, because it was already unitary time, but Yang Xianhe and they hadn't seen a shadow yet.
"It's unitary time, isn't it? Well, wait a little longer. Ma Hanshan was thinking, since he came, he should show a little patience.
Another stick of incense has passed, and it is already the middle of the unitary time. Just when Ma Hanshan was about to lose his temper, Yang Xianhe and the others finally came.
"Haha, I'm sorry Brother Shi, it's late, it's late......." Yang Xianhe apologized to Shi Yuzhi as he spoke, but although he said he was embarrassed, there was no apology on his face.
