Chapter 75: Business is booming
The crops in the fields are ready for harvest.
The peasants in the village, without exception, all took the initiative to send food.
Qin Tao didn't want anything else, just corn and sorghum.
Of course, a little wheat and rice are also needed, after all, there are a lot of girls in the family, and they also need to eat.
Outside the gate of Qin Tao's mansion.
There was a long queue of peasants who paid the rent.
Everyone talked and laughed.
It's not as sad as in previous years.
More grain was harvested in the fields than in previous years.
Moreover, the men in the village basically went to work in the winery, and they could earn money to supplement the family.
It's been a good year.
Not only can they earn money, but they can also save a lot of food, so that children and the elderly no longer have to go hungry.
Every once in a while, I can improve my life.
Qin Tao has become a great benevolent person, a living bodhisattva in the hearts of the villagers.
Especially the pigskin waterwheel developed by Qin Tao for everyone.
Even if the weather is dry, people can draw water from the mountain streams to irrigate the fields.
With sorghum and corn.
The production of the distillery is tightened.
Without Qin Tao's reminder, Sun Ergou came up with the idea of working two shifts on his own.
Although everyone is tired.
But no one complained.
Much dryer, the wine sells well, and everyone's monthly silver is more.
Some people even found that even if they no longer farmed, the silver they earned just by working in Qin Tao's winery was enough to support their families, and there was still surplus silver to save.
The owner of An Kee Liquor Store in town.
He's been here countless times.
urged Qin Tao to send more wine.
Qin Tao's wine entered Beijing, endorsed by Zhu Wenzheng and Princess Yunyang, and sold for several hundred taels of bottles.
It's still crazy to grab it.
In a small town, it can't be sold for that high price even if it is killed.
However, Qin Tao never cut off Boss An's wine.
Everyone has money to earn together.
You can't only see the big silver in your eyes, and the small silver can't be seen.
Now, Qin Tao has only opened up a little fame in the capital, in fact, it will take a long time to fully open the market in the capital.
And Qin Tao also understands.
The current market is supported by Zhu Wenzheng and Princess Yunyang.
Everyone gave them two faces.
In order to climb power, the dignitaries and nobles did not hesitate to pay a few hundred taels of silver.
Qin Tao told Boss An.
Since the equipment of the distillery still needs to be improved, it is not possible to produce too much liquor at the moment, so An Kee Distillery also needs to buy and sell in limited quantities in a timely manner.
Of course, Boss An understands the meaning of this.
It's just that he also wants to earn more silver.
So he was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Tao's suggestion, and he said with tea in his hand: "Qin Tao, when you came to the town for the first time, you wanted to find someone else to sell it for you, except for me, no one cares about you anymore." ”
It means to remind Qin Taoguo that he wants him to repay his kindness and not to come indiscriminately.
Qin Tao listened to Boss An's words, smiled slightly and said: "At the beginning, you had the discernment to bet the treasure on me, in fact, it proved that I made you earn silver that you can't earn in a few lifetimes, you can't deny it, right?" ”
"I don't forget the beginning, but you can't threaten me with what happened at the beginning."
Boss An was a little surprised.
Because he never dreamed that Qin Tao's thinking logic would be so meticulous.
"Brother Qin Tao, I was just in a hurry just now, don't be angry."
"By the way, if you have any wine, send me some."
"Now there is a long queue in front of my store, everyone is an old customer, I have to sell anyone, no one can afford to offend, I have limited one wine ticket per person per day, and I can buy half a catty of wine with the ticket."
"It's just that there are some big customers, and they all run restaurants."
"You should know that in the current restaurant, if there is no Shuyun Daqu, others will think that the grade of the restaurant is not enough."
can also understand Boss An's suffering.
Qin Tao promised Boss An and said, "I'll send you a thousand catties of wine tomorrow." ”
"Thank you very much."
Boss An nodded, and then directly took out the silver ticket and put it on Qin Tao's table.
Walk to the silver.
And then there's the drinks.
To say that Qin Tao is also a cheerful person, he took the silver ticket and looked at the amount on it.
"I'll take the money, and the wine will be delivered early tomorrow morning."
Boss An knew that Qin Tao was a man of his word.
Since he promised himself, he will definitely be able to do it.
A man with integrity.
Sending Boss An away, Qin Tao was going to ask someone to store the corn and sorghum at home, otherwise after autumn, a winter full of winter, mice alone would have to eat a lot.
"Lady, where's Xiaohong?" Qin Tao hadn't seen Xiaohong since last night.
So, I took time out today and asked casually.
Xiaohong is a good girl, but Qin Tao is not as leisurely as she seems on the surface.
Qin Tao has to deal with many things.
Family affairs, firearms factories and wineries, as well as officialdom entertainment, and the maneuvers between mountain bandits...... Without two brushes, Qin Tao couldn't play at all.
So Qin Tao sometimes ignores some small things at home.
"Xianggong, you care so much about Xiaohong." Xi Shuyun said with a smile.
Qin Tao looked at the people carrying grain in front of him, and then said, "I didn't care, I just asked casually." ”
"The day before yesterday, someone from Xiaohong's family sent a letter, saying that they wanted Xiaohong to go back and get married."
Xi Shuyun said slowly: "Xiaohong is not small, when she reaches the age of marriage, I gave ten sets of jewelry and a few new clothes. ”
"She cried late, and I advised her not to be too moved."
"Later, Xiaohong cried and told me that she didn't want to go back and get married."
"I'm depressed."
"It's a good thing to get married, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry in her life."
"Then Xiaohong knelt down for me."
"Only then did I know that the person Xiaohong was going to marry was a well-known villain, and he had already married four wives."
"Every wife dies bizarrely."
"I heard that the first one fell off the bed and smashed his head and died on the spot."
"The second was to work in the field, and his neck was cut by his own sickle, and he bled to death."
"The third wife was washed away by an ankle-deep stream while washing clothes."
"The last one fell into the well at the head of the village while drawing water early in the morning...... Someone saw that it was the wicked man who pushed his wife down from behind. ”
Saying that, Xi Shuyun herself felt a little creepy.
Some women have a hard life, and some men have a hard life, but they have never heard of a man's wife dying one after another.
"Holy." After hearing this, Qin Tao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "That man is a demon, Xiaohong must not marry him." ”
"Xianggong, I think so too, can you save Xiaohong?" Xi Shuyun said worriedly: "Call Xiaohong back, I will find a good family for her, and I won't let her be wronged in the future." ”
