Chapter 132

At the Sansi Shop in Qinzhou, Fan Xiang looked at the clinic Yuchi up and down, and was amazed: "Last time you came, I was frightened and I was cautious wherever I went, for fear of being seen by others. This time I came again, I was furious and angry, and there were many followers, which became too big."

The sick Yuchi shook his sleeves carefully and said embarrassedly: "I'm not hiding it from the officials. Now I'm here to do business in Song Realm. It's a permission from the foreign government. I'm afraid that someone will make things difficult for me on the road, so I gave it to me to do it."

Fan Xiang shook his head repeatedly. This world is so magical, far beyond his imagination.

Shortly after Zhang Yuan and Tong Dalang and others gathered that day, Zhang Yuan really went to find several powerful tribes of Dangxiang to participate. What he was incredible was that he actually persuaded Yuan Hao and started a company and did business together. What Tong Dalang is doing now is actually equivalent to helping Dangxiang's most powerful people make money, so no one dares to stop him.

The reason is very simple. Some people question whether such large-scale smuggling would fall into the trap of the Song people. Zhang Yuan said that the biggest business we do is to sell wine. Where does the wine come from? Of course, it is made of grain. The wine from the Song Dynasty is delicious and cheap. Smuggling to Dangxiang is equivalent to buying grain from the Song Dynasty. Where can I find such a good thing? If Tong Dalang's business is the trap of the Song Dynasty, who would agree to sell wine? It is almost the same for them to sell salt.

There were many battles in autumn and winter, and now the food in Dangxiang is in short supply. After hearing Zhang Yuan’s argument, Yuan Hao wanted to ban all the wine across the country and specifically let Tong Dalang sell it. As for the gadgets sold by this company, Yuan Hao was not interested in asking about it at all. It can supplement Dangxiang’s food and make money by himself. Yuan Hao knew that this was enough. Tong Dalang was able to buy a lot of wine in business, which means that someone in the Song Dynasty was greedy for money and secretly cooperated with him. Why bother with the rest?

After seeing the purchase order brought by Yuchi, Fan Xiang said: "Even if gold, silver and other things are traded within the country, the imperial court has many bans, not to mention selling them outside the country. All related items are sold out, and you don't have to list them in the future. Copper and iron can be used as military weapons, and they are not allowed to be sold. When they can be sold, they will tell you specifically. Some other miscellaneous items can be sold to you by Sansi Shop. You see how the price is appropriate. Hey, why do you need so much wine?"

The ill Yuchi hurriedly said, "Our business can be done all depends on wine. The foreigners do not stop it, because the wine is brewed from grain. We sell it from here, saving them a lot of food. Other things can be avoided, but wine must not be missing, otherwise the business will be difficult to do. As for the price, it is enough to sell it according to the Sansi Shop. Don't worry, we have a lot of interest to earn."

"So that's it. The thieves are very energetic. They use our wine to save their food." Fan Xiang said, and gave the order to Manager Zheng next to him. "There are those in the Sansi Shop, except for what I just said, please send them all."

Manager Zheng looked at the list and looked up and said, "You can send other things now, but the wine is not enough."

When the sick Yuchi heard this, he became anxious: "It's absolutely impossible to drink! Supervisor, I don't know how long it takes to brew now? I can wait for some days."

Manager Zheng said: "No, it's just that there is not enough wine in the shop, so you have to go to the Yingtianfu. I see what you wrote above, the wine must be the cheapest one, and only the Yingtianfu is brewed. The ones we sell here are all brought from the Yingtianfu and mixed with water in the wine, so it won't last long, so the shop usually doesn't store much wine."

"You have to mix water in the wine? Supervisor, will it be more expensive if you don't mix water?"

Manager Zheng shook his head to the ill Yuchi: "If you sell it inexpensively, the wine that doesn't mix with water is too strong. If you smell it, you will get drunk. It will make you drink deadly, and it will be difficult to sip. We will sell it with water. Half the expensive ones are half the wine and half the water. The cheaper ones are just one bottle of wine and two bottles of water. The same is best for you to sell it, otherwise the people who have drunk this wine will say that you are not honest in your business."

The field affairs are now independent of Qinzhou. It was the first time that Fan Xiang knew that it was actually the largest wine shop in Qinzhou. He couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that wine is sold by mixing water, so is the same as what we usually drink?"

Manager Zheng shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, what is the identity of the judge? How could you let you drink the wine that is mixed with water? Only the cheapest one, sold in a large jar, is mixed with water. The wine in the bottle I usually drink is brewed directly without mixing with water."

Xu Ping agreed to sell wine to Dangxiang because the alcohol produced by the field business does not use grain, but uses sweet sorghum, which is equivalent to using grass to exchange for Dangxiang's materials. Smuggling wine does help Dangxiang save food, but it is not easy to calculate how much it really saves. Winemaking is a technical job. Even if you know the brewing process of liquor and the screening and cultivation of liquor koji, the wine yield rate of different liquor koji is far from being different, and Dangxiang doesn't even have an introduction in this regard. If they really use grain to make wine by themselves, the price of liquor will inevitably be high. Wine is not salt, so they will stop drinking if they can't afford it. Selling cheap liquor in Dangxiang has made them develop the habit of drinking, and in the end they waste more or save more food, which is not necessarily the case.

Sweet sorghum cannot be fermented solidly. What is brewed is edible alcohol, not white wine. In order to facilitate transportation and storage, they will increase the alcohol level very high and then mix water into it when selling it. The white wine produced in this way has basically disappeared when it is distilled, and it is not much better than the previous alcohol and sweat. The advantage is that it is cheaper.

Manager Zheng didn't know how the kind of wine was brewed by the field business. Anyway, they bought cheap wine from them and mixed water into it before selling it in various shops.

Fan Xiang's heart moved and said, "Since that's the case, don't redeem water in Qinzhou. Just take it back to Dangxiang from the Yingtianfu. You can redeem it when you sell it. Doing so will save a lot of money on the road, and you will save it for a longer time."

The sick Yuchi Lianlian said that the biggest cost of doing this business with Tong Dalang is actually freight, so you can save it naturally.

Manager Zheng said: "Since that's the case, I will send someone to the Yingtianwu to report the message and ask them to send wine. In this way, I will teach you how to add water to the wine. Do you remember that we business people say the word "sincere" and you must not let the wine buyers take you to the water, otherwise they will feel that the taste is wrong when they drink it."

The sick Yuchi nodded repeatedly, thinking that I was buying wine by myself. When I saw the store adding water to it, I would definitely feel that the taste was wrong. Even if the wine I bought was strong, I would just feel that it smelled water when I drank it.

Pull the sick Yuchi aside and point to a large jar, Manager Zheng said tirelessly: "Use a new jar to mix the water. Remember not to use the jar directly. You should brush it with pepper water first, and then dry it in a cool place. Don't try to save trouble. If you miss this step, drinking your wine may cause you to get rid of your stomach. You must remember carefully."

While saying that, Manager Zheng pointed to the basin next to him and said, "I have already made a brush with this tank. Look, what is placed there is pepper water. Also, mix water into the wine. Whether it is river water or well water, remember not to use raw water. You must boil it and then let it cool down. Otherwise, you will also eat it!"

The sick Yuchi nodded, but he didn't agree. There are so many things to do with other people. He took them back and divided them into several large tanks and directly mixed them with water. He also needed pepper and boiled water. Is it not expensive?
