A few days later, Wu Zhi's customized wine bottle was finally successfully fired and released from the kiln.

He followed the messenger to the Wujia colored porcelain workshop, the owner Wu Gang approached the porcelain kiln with him, only to see rows of porcelain bottles placed in front of the kiln door, shining in the sun. The porcelain masters were around and pointing with interest, they had never seen such a strange and beautiful porcelain vase, and their curiosity was rife.

Wu Zhi carefully checked the general from beginning to end, and found that the firing effect was still very good, although there were some defective products, but basically they could be fired according to the style he designed, the height and size were basically the same, the color pattern was basically the same, the porcelain body was crystal clear, the feel was smooth and delicate, the font was clear and rhyme, and the bottle cap was also just right, and the seal was tight.

Holding it in his hand, Wu Zhi has the feeling of holding a work of art in his hand. That's what he wants, a feeling of being tall!

Wu Zhi was quite satisfied, and after selection, five hundred and ninety-two sets were selected, three hundred and ninety sets of wine bottles for "Zhuangyuan Alcohol" and two hundred and two sets of wine bottles for "Zhuangyuan Lang". Wu Gang saw that he was cool, and directly clapped the board and said that he could make 20 yuan for cooperation in the future, and only charge 180 yuan for each set. Then he instructed the workshop guys to pack it carefully, gently load it into the ox cart, and send it back to Wu Zhi's house with the goods.

Wu Zhi then retrieved a funnel, a measuring cup, and beeswax and began bottling. He and Xiao'e worked together to operate, after filling the bottle, closing the cap, Wu Zhi sealed it one by one with heated and melted beeswax to make it not leak. After the operation, 202 bottles of 50 degrees of "Zhuangyuanlang" wine were filled, and 390 bottles of 38 degrees of "Zhuangyuan alcohol" wine were filled, each bottle was packed with one catty, that is, about 661 grams, which was more than one catty in later generations.

Wu Zhi designed a set of packaging boxes overnight: a square box made of cork with an inner diameter slightly larger than the wine bottle just enough to easily place the wine bottle, the bottom of the box is padded with soft silk cloth, the top of the box is covered with an embedded lid, a small hole is worn in the middle of the left and right sides, and a wooden bolt is inserted to fix the lid, and a hole larger than the index finger is made in the middle of the lid, and the lid can be easily lifted with a finger through the hole, and the edge of both sides of the box is perforated on the opposite side, and two red hemp ropes are tied respectively, so that the whole box can be lifted; The inside and outside of the wooden board of the box body are polished smooth and not piercing, and then the front and back sides of the box are engraved with four lines of block letters, "champion alcohol" or "champion Lang wine", the font is also polished smooth, painted with gold color paint, the upper edge of the box body is worn in pairs, and a golden ribbon is tied as a decoration respectively.

Wu Zhi found Tan Si and handed over the custom work of the packaging box to him, Tan Si first tried out a packaging box, and it looked good, and the trial wine bottle was just right. So, Wu Zhi placed 600 orders for him, 200 "Zhuangyuan Lang Wine" and 400 "Zhuangyuan Alcohol" packaging boxes, and 60 yuan per box of labor and materials, and Wu Zhi paid a deposit. Although Tan Si was full of doubts and curiosity, he still acted quickly after getting the deposit, working overtime to make it.

At noon the next day, when Wu Zhi was on duty at the Correction Office to proofread an edict, a servant suddenly came in and handed him a letter. Wu Zhi took the letter and looked at it, only to see that the center of the envelope read: "Edited and revised the Imperial Decree to delete the official Wu Zhi received", and the lower left corner also read: "Enzhou Pan Weimin sent it", Wu Zhi knew that this was a letter written by Pan Weimin to him. Suspiciously, after Fang Zhiwu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian received his letter, they had already set off from Qinghe County to return to the capital a few days ago, and it was estimated that they would arrive in the capital in five or six days.

"How is it so fast?" Wu Zhi's heart was happy, but he was also full of doubts and surprises, it had only been about twenty days since he sent the letter to his family, and according to his calculations, there was no thirty or forty days without receiving a reply.

What Wu Zhi didn't know was that with his official status as a champion, Wu Zhi's great name, plus money to open the way, money can make ghosts grind, and the post guard of the post post was to send his letters with the spirit of 12 points, and through a hundred miles of expedited, his letters were delivered to the hands of Pan Zhizhou in Enzhou in less than ten days. Pan Weimin read the letter, and sent another letter to Wu Xiu and Feng Niang on the same day. Within five days, Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, and Jin Lian had already set off, and Pan Weimin had already sent a capable official to set off with a reply to Wu Zhi before they left, riding fast horses, and arrived in the capital in less than ten days.

Receiving Pan Weimin's letter, Wu Zhi was excited. When he returned home from duty that day, when he showed the letter to Xiao'e, Xiao'e also jumped up with joy, her eyes lit up, she hadn't seen her parents for more than half a year, thinking that she would be able to reunite with her parents soon, she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep that night.

In the next few days, Wu Zhi was on duty at work, and he kept asking people to ask where there was a house for sale. After Wu Xiu and Feng Niang came over, he estimated that there would be at least four people, and the current house would definitely not be enough to live in, so he had to take precautions, find a suitable house in advance, and get ready.

But as soon as he inquired, he was taken aback, the housing prices in Bianliang, Tokyo are indeed frightening to death, it can be said that every inch of land is expensive, ordinary houses are at least more than 8,000 copper coins, and luxury houses cannot be bought without hundreds of thousands of yuan. Now, he is shy in his pocket, and it seems that he has to rent a house for a while!

Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, facing the high housing prices in Bianliang, he felt that he had become a beggar.

Now Wu Zhizheng's monthly salary is fifteen taels of silver, Lu Mi is twenty taels of silver per month, and the rest of the income is about thirty taels of silver, and the monthly income is close to sixty-four yuan. Compared to the common people, Wu Zhi's monthly income is quite high, but relying on his salary alone, he can't afford to buy a house in the capital for more than ten years without eating or drinking! This strengthened his determination to engage in business.

Wu Zhi handed over his fortune and property to Xiao'e, and Xiao'e became a little housekeeper.

Wu Zhi had no choice but to help find a larger single-family rental house, which was also near Baokangmen. After he broke off the old rental contract with the old landlord, he signed a new lease contract with the new landlord, found a suitable date, and asked Lin Chong and Wang Jin to help, and the four of them packed their luggage and equipment for distilling liquor, packed the wine jar wine bottles, hired an ox cart, and slowly moved to the new mansion to live.

The new house is expensive for 30 yuan a month, but the house is quite spacious, with more than 10 rooms, fully furnished, and can have extra rooms for distillation and storage rooms, and even build a laboratory.

Moving to a new home, the distillery had to be redesigned and expanded. So, Wu Zhi found Tan Si and asked him to stop the production of the packaging box first and get the distillation room done first.

Tan Si took three helpers, and the four of them worked overtime, and it took four days to build the new distillation room. The new distillery is much larger than before, with five sets of distillation equipment. After building the distillation room, Tan Si went back and continued to make the packaging box.

On the fifth day of anticipation, after asking for leave, Wu Zhi and Xiao'e waited at the West Water Gate Wharf in Bianliang City from noon, watching the boat enter and exit, and waited until it was dark, but they did not receive anyone, both of them were a little disappointed and returned disappointed.

The next day, at noon on the 10th day of the fifth lunar month, Wu Zhi continued to ask for leave, and Xiao'e continued to wait at the West Watergate Wharf. At the exact moment of Shen (i.e., 4 o'clock in the afternoon), the sun was setting in the west, and a somewhat familiar passenger ship slowly sailed into the West Water Gate Wharf. As the ship gradually approached, Wu Zhi and Xiao'e suddenly saw everyone standing on the bow of the boat, looking and pointing, Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian were all in the ranks!

A burst of surprise instantly came to their hearts, and Wu Zhi and Xiao'e both raised their hands happily and waved to everyone on the boat. Everyone on the boat also saw Wu Zhi and Xiao'e, and immediately waved their hands excitedly.

Waiting for the boat to dock and stop steadily, Wu Zhi ran onto the boat with a single arrow step, saluted Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian one by one, and also greeted the little maid Liu Yue and the others, everyone looked a little tired, but everyone smiled happily.

At this time, the boatman came over and greeted Wu Zhi with a smile. When Wu Zhi took a look, he found that it was an acquaintance, and this boatman was the same boatman who sent them to Bianliang, Tokyo last time! Wu Zhi also greeted him with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.

Xiao'e had already run onto the boat, and immediately threw herself into Feng Niang's arms, crying and laughing, causing everyone to laugh.

The boatman looked at Wu Zhi in awe, he had already inquired clearly when he came, he was picking up the wife of the champion and the uncle and aunt of the champion of the dynasty this time, so he was careful not to stay too much along the way, and he rushed to Bianliang, Tokyo in fifteen days. Now that he saw that the champion who picked up the boat was his benefactor Wu Zhi, he was even more emotional, and this strange experience was estimated to be enough for him to brag in front of people for a lifetime.

Everyone quickly unloaded the luggage off the boat, there were a lot of things, Wu Zhi had to hire five ox carts, after negotiating the car foot money, three ox carts loaded luggage, two ox carriages carried people, Wu Zhi, Xiao'e, Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Jin Lian and Liu Yue six people sat in a car, the big tiger and the two tigers and two servants and five people sat in a car, respectively, driven by five coachmen to the house.

Along the way, everyone laughed and laughed. Wu Xiu and Feng Niang were especially happy to see Wu Zhi and Xiao'e, and they asked endlessly. Jin Lian was also overjoyed when she saw Wu Zhi, and her pretty eyes were a little shy, although she was already considered Wu Zhi's person, but after all, she was not married, and she was still a little reserved and shy.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the door of the newly rented home. Unloading and getting out of the car, Wu Zhi gave each coachman a hundred dollars for the car, and the coachmen drove away satisfied. Eleven people moved their luggage into the house with their hands in unison.

After discussion, Wu Xiu and Feng Niang's room was on the left side of the central wing of the courtyard, with the meeting room in the middle and Xiao'e's room on the right; There are four rooms in the left wing, the leftmost is Wu Zhi's room, Jin Lian's room is next to Wu Zhi, and then there is the room of the little maid Liu Yue and the room of the old mother Zi Feng; There are also four rooms in the wing room on the right, and the two Wuzhi rooms on the far left are planned as distillation rooms and storage rooms, the big tiger and the second tiger live together in one room, and the rightmost one is reserved as a guest room, which can just arrange two officials to live temporarily. Kitchen, dining room, firewood room is between the left wing room and the central wing room, and the toilet, bathroom room, utility room is distributed between the right wing room and the central wing room, there are corridors up and down the left and right sides are connected, both shade and rain protection, surrounded by walls, the middle is enclosed into a relatively large courtyard, there is a small garden behind the central wing, the courtyard and the small garden are planted with a few osmanthus trees and some flowers and plants, the middle of the courtyard from the door to the central wing room is paved with a two-meter-wide road with stone slabs, and the left and right wings are also opened up with small paths. It's a bit of a winding path, and the monthly rent of 30 yuan is still worth it. When everyone saw the spacious and elegant courtyard of the rented house, they immediately liked it.

In the evening of the same day, Wu Zhi took the wind and washed the dust for everyone, and set up two tables of banquets at Li Qing's house in Baokangmen, he sat at a table with Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Jin Lian, Xiao'e and Liu Yue, and the big tiger family and two officials sat at a table, staggered and beaming. During the banquet, Wu Zhi toasted Wu Xiu, the two tigers and the two officials with a few glasses of wine. The big tiger family and the two officials were flattered to see that Zhuang Yuanlang was so hospitable and approachable.

On the second day, it was the day of Wu Zhi's rest, and when the two officials saw that they had completed the escort task, they did not dare to stay longer, and prepared to leave and return to Enzhou. In order to thank them for their escort credit, Wu Zhi gave each of them twenty taels of silver as a coil, and the two of them took it with great gratitude, and twenty taels of silver was almost equivalent to four months' salary. Wu Zhi's generosity made them ecstatic, and they felt that this trip to Beijing was worth it, and they still had a little complaint in their hearts, but now they have all disappeared.

After sending off the two servants, Wu Zhi went to Tan Si to check the production of the packaging box, and found that all the box lids had been made, and some of the packaging boxes had been engraved and painted, and the effect was good, so he was relieved.

Before leaving, he deliberately took four boxes, two each of "Zhuangyuan Liquor" and "Zhuangyuanlang Wine", and he was ready to start implementing his marketing plan. As for how to market and how to enter the market of the champion series of wines, Wu Zhi has long known it.
