The side hall on the left side of the main hall is a warm pavilion, and Wang Weizhen placed the banquet here.

Soon several servants had already put on a plate of delicious food, roast chicken, steamed fish, large slices of roast pork, and a small iron pot hanging in the center of the table, and the delicious mutton soup was tumbling, constantly exuding bursts of aroma. In addition, there are a few small dishes with wine around, and the whole table is already full, although this table of wine and food is not as good as the delicious food in the mansion of high-ranking officials and gentry, but it is not something that Liu Yan and others can easily eat, and it can be regarded as luxurious.

At this time, Liu Yan and Chen Xun had already taken off the thick cotton clothes they were wearing outside, and both of them wore their official uniforms.

Liu Yan is the chief flag, at this time he is wearing a copper and wood waist plate around his waist, and the official clothes of the chief flag are also embroidered with biao patterns, and he is wearing cowhide official boots under his feet. Chen Xun was wearing a small flag official uniform with a rhinoceros ornament, and he was also wearing hard boots under his feet.

At this time, Wang Weizhen also changed his clothes, walked from behind the screen, and greeted the three of them with a smile.

The four of them sat down, Wang Weizhen was naturally the main seat, Jia Hongyu and Liu Yan were on the left and right, and Chen Xun was sitting at the end. The rest of the servants were all driven out by Wang Weizhen, and only four people were left in the house to sit together.

Soon, a large jar of spirits was served, and Chen Xun took the initiative to get up and pour wine for Wang Weizhen, Liu Yan and Jia Hongyu, and several people clinked glasses frequently.

With a strong sip of wine left down his throat, the hot feeling made Liu Yan enjoy it very much, especially at this moment, Liu Yan felt even more comfortable.

It's just that although this wine is very strong, it is far inferior to the liquor of later generations. The spirits that several people drank had a lot of impurities, and the taste and texture were relatively poor. But even so, this is already a relatively good wine at this time, that is, it can only be drunk in the hundreds of official halls in Wang Wei Town, and ordinary Dunjun can't even drink this kind of spirit.

So Liu Yan began to think in his heart, maybe when the time is ripe in the future, this winemaking will also be a way to make money. After all, Liu Yan was also considered to be "tested by wine" in later generations, and he was still relatively familiar with the brewing process of liquor in later generations.

Of course, as for the wine-making project, Liu Yan is not ready to start, after all, the capital and power do not allow the business of the winery, and Liu Yan's main energy now is still on the soap business.

So after staggering and drinking for three rounds, Liu Yan saw that Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu were a little drunk, and their interest was also mobilized, and they continued to fight with Liu Yan and Chen Xun. This is the strength of the martial arts, as long as you drink with the person who looks at the right eye, it is to "see each other frankly", and naturally there are a lot less rules and precautions, unlike the literati, who always have so many guards and scheming.

Liu Yan picked up the wine glass and toasted Wang Weizhen again, and then said: "Lord Guan, my subordinates see that these hundred official halls are slightly dilapidated, why don't you repair them, at least rearrange the inside and outside of this main hall?" ”

Wang Weizhen took a sip of the spirits, and then said with a wry smile: "You said it lightly! Don't look at me, I am an official of a hundred households, and I am the manager of this Wangjiazhuang, but I am also a poor person. ”

Jia Hongyu on the side was hooking up with Chen Xun, the two of them were already a little drunk, and they were talking about brothers at this time, when they heard the conversation between Liu Yan and Wang Weizhen here, they came over and said: "Brother, you don't know, now the Qianqian Households in Xiahezhai are increasing the amount of grain grains every year, and they have to issue various taxes and assessments. ”

"So every year when Shangguan urges for money and food, the master of the management team seems to have passed the ghost gate, and if we have a little money and grain saved in Wangjiazhuang, we must use it to make up for the shortfall, where is there still the spare energy to repair the 100 official halls?"

Speaking of which, Jia Hongyu was also a little angry, and Chen Xun, who was narrator, was even more accustomed to a hard life, and now he found a bosom friend, and the two poured bitter water together, and unconsciously drank a few glasses of wine, as if they were brothers for a while.

Wang Weizhen was originally better, but after listening to Jia Hongyu's words, it seemed that he had touched his heart, and he was not interested in drinking, so he just sighed slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Yan smiled slightly, and then sighed: "It's really not easy for the management team!" ”

"Alas! Who's to say it's not, I'm not that easy to be a steward. ”

Liu Yan then said: "In this case, this soap business can just allow the management team to have more money. ”

"Huh."

Wang Weizhen saw that Liu Yan had entered the topic, and suddenly came to his senses, and asked, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it in detail." ”

So Liu Yan took out the semi-finished soap again, and then described the efficacy and usefulness of the soap in detail, as for the process of making it, of course, he would not reveal half a word.

“…… The master of the management team knows that this soap is a good thing, it can be used to pulp laundry, whether it is sweat, grease or anything else, as long as you use this soap, you can wash it cleanly. ”

"In addition, for example, washing your hands, feet, or bathing on weekdays, you can use soap to clean your body, which is very easy to use, far better than soap horns and soap."

Wang Weizhen was also very interested when he heard this, and said, "This, this soap? Soap, right, is it really as good as you say? ”

Wang Weizhen originally thought that the so-called soap was just something made of soap, and it was not a big thing, that is, it could earn some loose silver taels. Therefore, although Wang Weizhen was very happy about the soap business sent by Liu Yan, he didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the income brought by soap would not play a big role.

Liu Yan said with a smile: "The subordinates are still more conservative, but in fact, this soap is clearly a cornucopia." As long as the master of the management team and his subordinates join forces, and the subordinates make soap, and the management team has a lot of relationships in Lingshanwei and Qianhu, this sale will bother the management team, so we will definitely make a lot of money. In time, not only can these 100 official halls be renovated, but the management team will naturally be much more comfortable. ”

Wang Weizhen thought for a moment, and when he saw that Liu Yan was so sure, he slapped his thigh, laughed and said, "Okay! That's it! ”

Wang Weizhen also has his own plans, anyway, this soap is made by Liu Yan, and he is only responsible for selling out, even if he loses the capital, Liu Yan is also a loss, what are he afraid of?

But Liu Yan then said: "The master of the management team is arrogant! This soap is not easy to make, and it also consumes some materials, and his subordinates also work hard to make some. In this way, the subordinates will sell it to the captain at the price of three pieces of silver each, and as for how much the captain will take, it will be up to the captain of the team. If you think about it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price! ”

Wang Weizhen was slightly stunned, then put away his smile and said, "Do you want me to pay for this soap first?" ”

Liu Yan is naturally not a fool, if Wang Weizhen is only responsible for selling, and when the time comes, he will sell one or two pieces of silver, but when he comes back, he tells himself that he has sold it for ten yuan, then Liu Yan himself will not lose money!

So Liu Yan came up with this method, directly turning Wang Weizhen into a general contractor, selling soap to Wang Weizhen at a low price, and then Wang Weizhen sold it at a high price, and the difference in the middle was Wang Weizhen's income.

In this way, you can not only avoid the possibility of being pinched by Wang Weizhen, but also save the silver of filial piety to Wang Weizhen, and you can also use soap, a best-selling commodity, to pinch Wang Weizhen in turn, killing three birds with one stone!

Liu Yan looked at Wang Weizhen, who was a little unhappy, and said: "Don't blame the master of the management team, only in this way can the subordinates ensure that they can make a steady stream of soap, and the management team can also get a stable supply of goods, as the saying goes, everyone earns money." ”

Wang Weizhen stared at Liu Yan for a while, and at this time, Jia Hongyu and Chen Xun also quieted down, and both of them thought that Wang Weizhen was going to be angry when they saw this situation, and they were nervous in their hearts.

But before he thought about it, Wang Weizhen suddenly laughed, and then patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and said: "Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person, your kid is not only brave and scheming, but I didn't expect to know how to value the goods." It is really an eye-opener to have a talent like you under the rule of this official! ”

Liu Yan smiled and clenched his fists and said, "The master of the management team has praised it falsely, and his subordinates can't afford it." ”

Jia Hongyu and Chen Xun on the side were immediately relieved when they saw this, and the two hurriedly came over to pour wine, and then coaxed Wang Weizhen and Liu Yan to toast together.

Several people filled each other's cups and drank them all, and then Wang Weizhen grabbed Liu Yan and said: "But then again, how good this soap is, but you said it yourself, I have never seen such a rare thing, as for whether you can make money, it is too early to say." ”

Liu Yan naturally heard the voiceover, so he said: "My subordinates understand that this piece of soap will be given to adults, although it is still a semi-finished product, it does not hinder its use, but it has not yet been finalized, and the use effect is the same." After trying it out, the team will naturally understand the benefits and value of soap. ”

"Haha, that's the best!"

Wang Weizhen was completely relieved at this time, and greeted a few people for another round of drinking, Chen Xun couldn't support it at first, and after a toast, he slipped directly under the table unconscious.

Seeing this, Wang Weizhen laughed, beckoned the servants to carry Chen Xun away and settle down, and then said to Liu Yan: "What, can Liu Zongqi still drink?" ”

Liu Yan also felt a little dizzy at this time, but Wang Weizhen had to drink again, and he could only accompany him to the end.

At this time, Liu Yan suddenly felt as if he was a salesman in the future, and was drinking with the customer, hoping that the customer could sign the order.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan smiled dumbly, feeling a little ridiculous, so he said with a smile: "The master of the team is so interested, and his subordinates are naturally sacrificing their lives to accompany the gentleman!" ”

"Well said!"

Jia Hongyu on the side also pulled his big tongue and said: "Se is good, Se is good, why don't you continue to drink!" ”

That night, the three of them returned happy. Jia Hongyu, like Chen Xun, was finally carried to the guest room, and Wang Weizhen was also supported back to the room by two servants.

Liu Yan was also staggering at this time, but he was still able to force himself to walk, and when he came to the courtyard and saw the bright moon in the sky, he couldn't help laughing: "Now the financial road is open, and the new era of Dapandun is coming!" ”
