Chapter Twenty-Six: The Four Seas Wine Workshop
The winery officially began to prepare, and after a few gentlemen went home, they gave the soju to their respective Lao Tzu, and on the second day, all the old guys who had a headache took out all the money to decide to buy shares.
Song Wen took a housekeeper in the high yamen and talked carefully with Ping Niang for a long time and then signed an agreement, and finally Zhao Shenyan and Song Wen came to the yamen to register and make a book, left paperwork and paid the business tax, and the Four Seas Wine Workshop was initially established.
Regarding the naming of the winery, Song Wen and Ping Niang quarreled for a long time, and finally denied Song Wen's Erguotou Distillery and Burning Knife Distillery, as well as Ping Niang's Snowflake Burning ...... In the end, in the midst of a noise, the name Four Seas Wine House was decided.
The fly in the ointment is that Song Wen is still a slave and is not qualified to be the proprietor, so he put the Four Seas Wine Workshop under Zhao Shenyan's name.
Three alleys away from the Wazi block, there is a small façade under the plane tree at the mouth of an alley, but there is a large courtyard behind the façade. It stands to reason that it is not a good place to do business, but Song Wen took a fancy to the courtyard behind him, so he asked Ping Niang to buy it for two hundred and forty yuan.
Song Wen pulled Lin Chong and Li Yan to occupy thirty percent of the shares, and the remaining six families shared them equally. In fact, every household doesn't care much about the more than 100 copper coins, and most of the ingredients are to join in the fun, and there is the priority to buy this newly launched liquor to save face.
The dilapidated house in the outer city must no longer be used, Li Yan swaggered and followed Gao Yanei's housekeeper to the yamen, and the household registration was still called Li Yan, and Gao Yanei never dreamed of it...... The guy who killed his brother-in-law and his father turned into his own business partner!
Pingniang is trying to get closer to the descendants of several Jiangmen, thinking of providing some opportunities for her useless husband to set up a stage, and she is close to a few Jiangmen Wuxun families who dare to oppose Gao Yu.
Gao Yanei simply wants good wine, and he secretly thinks about the strong martial arts and beautiful Pingniang...... This little forgetful egg has now revealed the worst qualifications of the three promiscuous.
Song Wen and Ping Niang rented a remote compound in the outer city, where Li Yan, Lin Chong, and two sets of wine steamers that Song Wen had worked so hard to improve. But a maximum of 10 jars of spirits can be produced every day.
All that's left is to calculate how to sell this high-cost liquor at a good price!
Purchase the cheapest multigrain liquor to make steamed liquor, and ten catties of multigrain liquor can be blended into three catties of spirits after distillation! The cost is around 300 Wen.
Half a catty of a bottle of wine is six bottles, a jar of ten catties of wine, two sets of wine steamers at most a hundred catties is the limit, Lin Chong and Li Yan are martial artists after all...... It is impossible to abandon the military force and engage in business for the rest of your life! Song Wen wouldn't be willing to do that. The troubled times are coming, do you have to hold gold, silver and shochu and wait for external and internal enemies to come and kill you?
Li Yan helped Song Wen solve this problem, the old guy just wants to drink, where can he endure his temperament and make it himself? On this day, he came to the compound with six and a half children and stood in front of Song Wen with a brush.
"I've seen Brother Wen!"
Song Wenhu suspiciously appeased them, let them go down to rest, and then reconciled with Li Yan.
Li Yan sighed and said to Song Wen: "The secret of soju, these dolls can help you keep it secret...... The family background is more innocent than the other, and they are basically orphans without a father and mother! Four are orphans of the heirs of junior officers of the forbidden army, and two are the sons of knights...... My fathers are all good men who have passed away, and my senior brother and I have taken care of and helped these descendants over the years, but the current forbidden army is about to fall into the hands of Gao Yu! Alas...... We don't want these good boys to join the forbidden army and be ruined by that guy, it's better to let them find a way to live on their own, and then practice martial arts to strengthen themselves and wait for the opportunity to serve the court again! ”
In this era, although there is no lack of rebellious spirit, loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is still the core value of righteous people. The children of the Han family have been sprinkled for thousands of years, and there has never been a shortage of loyal warriors......
The current Song Wen has nearly 400 yuan of funds in his hand, and after discussing with Li Yan, he directly sent a total of 12 yuan of settling-in allowance to several teenagers! Let the teenagers dispose of some food gifts for their relatives and friends, buy some clothes, shoes and socks by themselves, and then quietly move to this courtyard, and follow Li Yan to practice martial arts...... Second, I learned the shochu method of Sihai Distillery and prepared to produce it on a large scale.
Everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, Song Wen quietly took Lin Chong and Zhao Shenyan's two servants to renovate the storefront, and at the same time rushed back and forth to instruct the six teenagers to make soju wine, waiting for the right time to open for business.
On this day, Song Wen and Lin Chong stayed in the soju compound, and Li Yan didn't know where to go. An Daoquan came quietly again......
The three-and-a-half-year-old boy Song Wen is almost sixteen years old, Lin Chong has just passed his fifteenth birthday, and An Daoquan is fourteen years old.
However, the two little guys have now been deeply impressed by Song Wen, who has a flexible brain and is full of tricks and talent (bad water).
After the evening, Song Wen personally cooked a large pot of bone-in mutton with brown sugar and peppercorn soy sauce to improve the food for the six hard-working teenagers.
Li Yan was not at home, and the nine teenagers ate and drank a lot, and then tried martial arts in the courtyard for a long time...... As a result, Lin Chong won the first place without giving in, and he didn't even breathe. An Dao, who is usually quiet, all took the third, and Song Wen picked up the thinnest teenager to compete...... As a result, he was thrown seven or eight times in a row, and the last time I asked, I learned that the dead father was a famous wrestler in Bianliang back then!
The teenagers had a good time, and the six guys didn't want to disturb the three brothers too much, so they ran back to the backyard to practice the boxing techniques taught by Li Yan.
An Daoquan looked at Song Wen who was lazily lying on the chair, and suddenly said: "Brother Wen, now Bianliang knows that Zixuanlou's orchid dance is very good, I don't know what it looks like?"
Song Wen was stunned...... Well? Is this little bunny a sullen type?
An Daoquan blinked his eyes: "How about Brother Wen take us to see?" What do I have with me...... Is two or two enough? ”
"Well, give me the silver ......"
Lin Chong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Actually...... Actually, I don't want to go, but both of you are here, and I'm afraid you'll meet a scoundrel again......"
Song Wen pulled his face and said: "I wander around the Qinglou every day on weekdays, why don't you worry about me?" Lin...... I, I misread you! ”
Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was not closed, the three guys left six orphaned teenagers to guard the courtyard and went straight to Bianliang Wazi Street, where there was already a scene of laughter, laughter, singing and prosperity.
Entering the small door, Song Wen found that today happened to be the day of Chunniang's stage performance, and it seemed that An Dao Quanlin Chong had been planning for a long time......
The lights in the Zixuan Building are very lively, and the slabs on the second floor near the railing are all vacated, and more than 20 compartments are rebuilt. More than a dozen groups of rich people or the children of powerful people sat on it and enjoyed the singing and dancing.
More than a dozen scholars were still staring at Maiji's arms and thighs with disdain on their faces, drooling and scolding for bad morals......
Chun Niang has brought out eight dancing girls, each of whom follows Song Wen's aesthetic point of view, all of them are plump women, purple and black lace dance dresses, a pair of white jade feet and a cheerful Western Regions drum beat make a group of big and small perverts scream in a trance and squander the silver wildly.
Behind the stage, a large room was transformed into a dressing room, and Song Wen swaggered into the curtain with two small followers with flushed faces. The turtle man who was guarding the door nodded and flattered this little god of wealth vigorously......
"Brother Wen, Brother Wen is good! Brother Wen is getting more and more handsome...... Brother Wen......"
A group of delicate and cute dancers greeted Song Wen Shili, and several small apprentice dancers looked at Song Wen with red faces and admiration.
Song Wen was triumphant, pinched his waist and said to Lin Chong and An Daoquan, who were almost as ashamed as ostriches: "How? The dressing room of the big stage of Zixuanlou is a paradise on earth that many men in Bianliang dream of coming in and seeing, hahaha......"
