Seeing that the sales situation was gratifying, a few days later, Wu Zhi went to the samurai colored porcelain workshop outside the city, and found Wu Gang to place an order for two thousand sets of wine bottles, which were still customized according to the previous style and made in three batches, Wu Gang was very happy and reduced the unit price of each set to 180 Wen.

At the same time, Takeshi improved the jar for distillation. He personally designed and drew a kind of wine jar with a long neck and a wide belly to close the bottom, the neck of the wine jar is narrow and can stretch out the distillation barrel, the neck is small and can be put on a bamboo tube, and the junction is sealed with clay, which is very convenient and fast, and the sealing is better, and the distillation effect will be better, and he is ready to distill two or three times in the future, and increase the concentration of alcohol to about 95 degrees. He showed the drawings of this kind of wine jar to Wu Gang, and after Wu Gang read it, he said that it could be fired, so Wu Zhi customized thirty of them.

This kind of liquor jar, large capacity, each time can be filled with 60 catties of low-alcohol liquor for distillation, each time a set of devices can distill out of 10 catties of alcohol, if the five sets of devices are started at the same time, each time can distill 50 catties of alcohol, a day can distill hundreds of catties of alcohol, such efficiency is very efficient, basically can meet the requirements of future expansion.

The first batch of low-alcohol liquor made by Zhang Gui and his wife also came out, with more than 1,200 catties. Wu Zhi ran to take a look, and after tasting it, he felt that it was good, similar to the original, it seems that Zhang Gui and his wife still have quite experience in winemaking. Wu Zhi was happy, so he rewarded them with twenty yuan, and they happily accepted it. But in order to make this batch of more than 1,000 catties of liquor, Zhang Gui and his wife boiled their eyes red, and it was very hard. So, Wu Zhi hired four craftsmen who could make wine at a high salary through the tooth shop to help the two.

A few days after the low-alcohol liquor had matured, Wu Zhi brought them home. With the help of Wu Xiu, Xiao'e, Dahu, and Erhu, it took a few days to smoothly distill more than 600 catties of low-alcohol liquor, and more than 100 catties of alcohol of about 85 degrees were obtained, and the remaining 600 catties of low-alcohol liquor he did not move, sealed them, and kept them for blending.

Ten days later, the first batch of more than 600 sets of customized wine bottles and 30 special wine jars were fired, and Wu Gang personally sent them to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi blended overnight to produce nearly 200 catties of champion series wine, and then bottled by Xiao'e, Wu Xiu, Dahu, Erhu and other people, sealed wax, marked the production time, put it in the warehouse for storage, mellowing, and replenished the supply in time. So far, Wu Zhi still has nearly 600 bottles of Champion series wine in his hands, and the supply is quite sufficient, which makes him feel a lot more relieved and can complete the follow-up plan step by step.

Then, Wu Zhi modified the distillation equipment with a newly designed and customized wine jar, and tried to distill it, and the result was a great success, and the distillation efficiency was faster and the effect was better.

He returned the alcohol obtained from the first distillation to the furnace for the second distillation, left some samples of the alcohol obtained from the second distillation, and then returned the remaining alcohol obtained from the second distillation to the furnace for distillation, and compared the alcohol obtained from the third distillation with the alcohol obtained from the second distillation, and found that the alcohol content was almost the same, and Wu Zhi knew that the alcohol content obtained from this distillation had reached the limit of 95 degrees! Therefore, only secondary distillation is required in the future. With this 95-degree alcohol, it will be more convenient for him to prepare and blend 75-degree disinfectant alcohol in the future, and the calculation will be more accurate.

Therefore, Wu Zhi invited Tan Si to help transform all five vertical barrels according to Wu Zhi's requirements, so as to use a new style of wine jar and modify it into a new distillation device to improve the effect and efficiency of distillation.

After renovating the distillation unit, Wu Zhi settled the balance of the first batch of 600 boxes to Tan Si, and at the same time, placed an order for 2,000 boxes for him and paid him enough deposits to buy materials. Tan Si was overjoyed to get such a big order all of a sudden. Tan Si's craftsmanship is really good, the quality of the customized packaging box in the early stage is higher than that required by Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi is very satisfied, and decided to cooperate with him for a long time.

Five days later, Wu Zhi took the big tiger and the second tiger to the champion building for settlement. After settlement, in the eight days before the price increase, the sales revenue reached 10,432 yuan, and in the seven days after the price increase, the sales revenue reached 10,528 yuan, and after deducting the wine tax of 2,096 yuan, Wu Zhi got 11,318 yuan for 60 percent, and 7,546 yuan for 40 percent of the champion building, which is equivalent to half a year's operating profit of the champion building!

The champion series of wines has been a great success, and Wu Zhi and Qian Mu can now be said to be making money every day, win-win!

Looking at the amazing income in his hand, Qian Mu was in a good mood, and he worshiped Wu Zhi so much that he threw himself to the ground, and the virtuous brother was long and the virtuous brother was short, and he was very diligent.

Wu Zhi's heart was also extremely happy and excited. He knows that he is on the right path in business and has taken the most solid first step!

Wu Zhi returned home with the proceeds, and when Xiao'e, the little housekeeper, kept the accounts, he was even more happy to see so much money at once. Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Jin Lian and others were also overjoyed, and even felt a little incredible.

After Wu Zhi saw that the operation of the champion series of wines began to get on the right track, he began to shift his energy to other things. He still has a lot to do. He only needs to distill 95 degrees of alcohol and blend it into spirits, and the rest can be left to Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Da Hu and Erhu to do. During this time, he also focused on training them in some relevant content, and they are already competent.

Moreover, Wu Zhi raised the daily salary of the big tiger and the second tiger to five hundred wen, which is three times the daily income of ordinary people! At the same time, the daily wages of Feng and Liu Yue were also mentioned to 400 Wen. Therefore, the big tiger, the second tiger and other people are very happy, and they work extremely hard, especially the big tiger and the second tiger, who are even more obedient to Wu Zhi's words.

And Wu Xiu, Feng Niang, Xiao'e, Jin Lian and others want to use money, they just need to talk to him. These days, because he is busy developing the wine market, he has not had much time to accompany Jin Lian, and there is a faint resentment in her eyes, so he has to find time to accompany her more and take her out for a walk. After Wu Xiu, Feng Niang and Jin Lian came to the capital, Wu Zhi hadn't accompanied them out to wander around, and he felt guilty.

Since Jin Lian and Feng Niang came to the capital, it took them a few days to organize their belongings. Mr. Pan and his grandmother Qin were afraid that their precious granddaughter would suffer and be wronged after coming to the capital, so they bought a lot of dowry, all kinds of silk and satin, rouge and gouache, and gave a thousand taels of silver as a dowry.

Jin Lian originally hoped that this thousand taels of broken silver could come in handy, but Wu Zhi's means of making money were amazing, and he earned more than 15,000 yuan through the champion series of wine in more than a month, and this income scared everyone, so the 1,000 taels of broken silver dowry brought by Jin Lian, Wu Zhi did not move a cent, and left it all for Jin Lian to use. Holding a thousand taels of silver in her hand, Jin Lian became a little rich woman, and she herself felt a bit like a dream, and she didn't know how to use these huge sums of money.

Wu Xiu and Feng Niang brought more than 200 taels of silver from their hometown also left in Feng Niang's hands, they couldn't take it at all, Wu Zhi instead took out a thousand yuan to Wu Xiu and Feng Niang, and the family's expenses were controlled and managed by the two of them, and they would withdraw it when it was not enough.

After receiving the 1,000 yuan handed over by Wu Zhi, Wu Xiu and Feng Niang were in charge of so much money for the first time, and they were both inexplicable, they were really a little uncomfortable when they were rich. Wu Zhi had no choice but to smile and comfort them, saying that there would be more money for them to take charge of in the future, and now they were just practicing their hands. The two looked at Wu Zhi with satisfaction, they were now 100% convinced that their nephew could do what he said.

After spending a few days sorting out her belongings, Jin Lian has been living in seclusion, silently watching Wu Zhi do things, and at the same time helping a little. In addition to taking care of Jin Lian's daily life, Liu Yue also took care of helping Feng and Feng Niang, doing some housework such as cooking, laundry, and sweeping. Wu Zhi saw that Jin Lian was bored, so he assigned Xiao'e to play with her, and now that he has manpower, Wu Zhi doesn't need Xiao'e to help him do all kinds of chores. Three girls of about the same age got together, but it was also lively.

The fourth year of Shaosheng, that is, the year 1097, was a very unpeaceful year. From the beginning of the year when the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of the Western Xia Dynasty began to frequently provoke and commit offenses, to the old party members Liu Zhi, Su Che, Su Shi, Wang Yansuo, etc., who were successively demoted to Lingnan, and then to open the branch to take the scholars, Lu Dafang died in mid-April, Wen Yanbo and Han Jin died successively in May, Zhang Chun, Cai Jing and other new parties are still constantly suppressing and belittling the old party, and farces are still being staged. In mid-May, Li Qingchen, the vice minister of the new party, was deposed and demoted to the prefect of Hejian Province. In June, the Taiyuan earthquake killed and injured countless people. From June to July, it was too daylight, people were panicked, and rumors were spreading. From August to September, Huixing appeared in the West, Zhao Xu thought that the stars had suddenly changed, panicked, avoided the palace to reduce meals, boycotted the autumn banquet, and ordered the princes and ministers to carefully repair the government, supplemented by the can't catch it, and opened the way of speech, asking for direct speech from China and foreign countries.

The shadow of war, the clash of partisanship, the outbreak of natural disasters, the panic of the people caused by normal natural phenomena (caused by superstition), natural and man-made disasters, and so on, internal and external troubles are constantly eroding the country. Behind the seemingly prosperous Song Dynasty, it is actually full of holes and overwhelmed!

Wu Zhi is now a small eight-rank Beijing official, he is soft-spoken, and he has no ability to get involved in the ugly things of the new party and the old party dumping each other and dog-eat-dog-eat-dog, even if he has that ability, he doesn't want to get involved, he just wants to do his own thing step by step now, and slowly grow his strength.

Wu Zhi's heart knot, others will never understand!
