Chapter 18 Rare things are expensive
Leaving Hutou Mountain with a box of medicinal herbs, Gu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was ready to sacrifice to cover Jiang Chen at any time just now, after all, there were hundreds of bandits on the mountain, and if he really made a move, he would definitely be more than lucky.
Thinking of the dangerous situation they had spent together, Gu Jun suddenly asked, "Childe, I have a question that I don't know if I should say or not?" ”
"Don't call me son, Brother Gu is older than me, just call me by my name."
Jiang Chen's kind attitude made Gu Jun admire him even more, after all, he was just a subordinate, if Jiang Chen wasn't willing to give him a bite to eat, he would still be a stinky beggar who was spurned.
But Jiang Chen didn't put on a show at all, but took the initiative to break this important master and servant identity and called himself Brother Gu, which directly brought the relationship between the two closer.
Thinking of this, Gu Jun couldn't help but be moved: "Okay, if you are willing to deign to call me Brother Gu, I am really honored, then I will dare to call you Brother Gu." ”
"However, you and I are still a master-servant relationship in front of people, and I can't be arrogant and mess with the rules."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you want." By the way, what questions did you just say you wanted to ask, tell me about it? ”
So Gu Jun asked, "Brother Jiang, have you ever joined the army before?" ”
Jiang Chen's steps forward, hovering in mid-air for a moment, and then fell naturally, he didn't expect Gu Jun to suddenly ask himself such a question.
"Brother Gu, don't be kidding, I'm just a down-and-out scholar, how could I have joined the army? What do you think about me like a soldier? ”
Gu Jun naturally knew about the Jiang family, if Jiang Chen had ever joined the army, it was impossible for no one to know.
But he just had a feeling that he saw in Jiang Chen the courage of a brave and fearless warrior, and when facing those mountain bandits who killed people without blinking, he had the courage to smile at the sky.
There can't be anything wrong, how can ordinary people be so calm?
"Well, it's me thinking too much."
Gu Jun had doubts in his heart, but he still didn't continue to ask.
He knew that no matter what, the answer to the question would not change his attitude towards Jiang Chen, this young man had an unlimited future in the future, maybe one day he would walk out of this remote town and go to a wider world!
Then the two of them brought the medicinal herbs to the courtyard where the wine was made, Wu Qingshan was working hard with the helpers, and a jar of brewed Jiang Yuebai was encapsulated and stacked in a large house specially cleaned for this purpose.
"Uncle, come and see, there are almost three hundred jars of Jiang Yuebai here, with the current manpower and equipment, it can only brew about five hundred jars per month, isn't it too few?"
Wu Qingshan was thinking about making money, but Jiang Chen was reluctant to let go of his hands and feet to produce mass-production, which made him very puzzled.
"Okay, send these three hundred jars to the Drunken Immortal Building in batches in the evening, and tell Lin Qingxuan that starting tomorrow, this wine can be sold publicly. As for the price, it is set at 20 taels of silver for a jar, and each person is limited to a maximum of five altars. ”
"Also, from now on, we don't need more people and equipment to brew on this scale, because you have to know the truth that the easier it is to see something on the market, the less valuable it is."
Wu Qingshan nodded convincingly, he was so full of motivation in his heart.
You must know that the Erdaochun of the Zhao Family Winery also sells for eight taels of silver per jar, which is already much more expensive than other wines on the market, and their Jiang Yuebai is priced at twenty taels of silver as soon as it comes up, and it is still in short supply.
In this way, as long as he sells fifty jars of Jiang Yuebai, the one thousand taels of silver he owes to Scarface will be gone.
Jiang Chen sent Wu Qingshan and them to hurry up and load the car, these three hundred altars Jiang Yuebai must be sent to the Drunken Immortal Building tonight.
Because when the news of Jiang Yuebai's sale spreads early tomorrow morning, those rich businessmen and nobles who have been waiting with their necks stretched their necks for a long time are afraid that they will trample the threshold of the Drunken Immortal Building.
At the same time, Jiang Chen called a few masters with experience in brewing wine, and began to count out the box of medicinal materials together, and discussed what you and I said.
These brewing masters were all invited by Lin Qingxuan at a high price, in order to give Jiang Chen a hand, and the price of hiring them was much more expensive than those helpers who did hard work.
Gu Jun couldn't understand what they were discussing, so he stayed outside the door alone, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the first batch of convoys loaded with a hundred jars of Jiang Yuebai set off from the front of the courtyard.
Wu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Brothers, work hard, wait until these wines are sent to the Drunken Immortal Building, let's wait to count the silver!" ”
As the convoy moved away, the originally lively courtyard quickly became silent, Jiang Chen said that this place was very important, and someone would come to deliberately make trouble.
So Gu Jun always remained vigilant, and after an hour, the third batch of Jiang Yuebai was successfully loaded and sent to Zuixian Tower.
At this moment, a shadowy figure appeared in Gu Jun's sight, and it seemed that he was sneakily approaching this side, and he immediately stepped forward quickly and blocked in front of the courtyard gate.
"Who is this, looking into someone else's yard in the middle of the night?"
By the moonlight, Gu Jun only knew that it was a petite woman, but he still didn't let his guard down until the other party approached enough distance for him to see his face clearly.
"Huh? Be... Madam!
Gu Jun was startled by this name, and both of them looked at each other a little embarrassed.
"Brother Gu, I'm not ......"
The person who came was Wu Yue, who was carrying a basket in her hand at this time, and she didn't know what it contained.
Gu Jun didn't expect Wu Yue to be a big girl's house, and the third watch ran here without sleep in the middle of the night, and just now he blurted out the "madam" at a loss.
"Oh, although you and Brother Jiang don't have the name of husband and wife for the time being, any of us know that you are Mrs. Jiang, hahaha......"
Gu Jun reluctantly laughed a few times, trying to hide his panic, but he didn't expect such a smile to make him feel even more embarrassed.
Wu Yue said shamefully: "Brother Gu, don't tease me, I haven't married Brother Chen yet!" ”
"Isn't that a matter of time?"
"Oh, I saw that Brother Chen's house was not lit, and I guessed that he must still be busy making wine here, so I made some dumplings and sent them to everyone."
Gu Jun smiled and said, "Oh, then you can go in quickly, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold." ”
The girl next door was thin-skinned, and after Wu Yue entered the house, she was praised by everyone, saying that she was really a virtuous helper by Jiang Chen's side, which made her cheeks crimson, almost the same color as a red apple.
Finally, when everyone was busy and ready to taste Wu Yue's craftsmanship, they didn't want bad news to come from outside......
