Teach my brother-in-law

When we returned to Heji, the sky had already darkened.

The three jars of wine were placed behind the counter, and I told Hua'er, Wang Jingui, and He Dawei that the wine with the red string tied on it would cost two taels of silver, and the two jars without the red string would cost one tael. The money will not be sold loose for the time being, this is the price after careful calculation by Bai He and Lin Zi on the way back.

One jar of He’s distiller’s yeast needs rice and one stone, which is about 120 catties in later generations. Now the price of rice shops is generally around one or two or three to one or two five dollars per stone of rice. It can be as expensive as one or two or eight dollars to three or two or even more.A stone of rice can make a jar of koji. A large jar of koji can be distilled with Baihe to get two jars of ten catties of first wine, four jars of about twenty catties of second wine, and three jars of wine that can be used to make vinegar. Ten catties.Counting the input of firewood, labor, etc., the cost of each tank of koji until it is turned into wine is about two taels of silver, but it also needs to add transportation fees, storage fees and other miscellaneous expenses, so this price is considered normal but guarantees most of it. share of profit.

Like the vat of koji brewed today, you get two vats of ten catties of wine, two taels of silver for each vat, and four taels of silver for each vat. If you open another vinegar brewery, it can be counted separately. In this way, the cost of two taels of silver will become 11 taels of silver after distillation, and the profit margin is guaranteed to be at least around eight taels.I don't know, this is really a way to make money.

This is not the conversion of technology into productivity, and the conversion of productivity into silver.

If you use the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty to count, one tael of silver needs to be fined and copper coins need about [-] to [-] Wen copper coins, and private money needs [-] to [-] yuan to exchange for one tael of silver, so this wine is brewed. The current pricing is indeed a bit high, but there is no way around it. The shipment volume is too small, and there is still a market for alcoholic beverages of this height. It is understandable that the selling price is a little higher. One day, Ho’s brewery can produce a large amount of alcoholic beverages. It is not too late to lower the price, besides, this distillation method will be known sooner or later, so the current price must be higher.

In business, business is all about profit, but I don't know if the drunkards in the Ming Dynasty are used to this kind of high alcohol.

Soon after returning to the store, the flow of people in the store increased.

After a while, several guard soldiers in red cotton armor walked in around a man in his thirties.

Several military households are already old acquaintances. Among them, Hu Huachun, who is talking loudly, is the first batch of hundreds of households mobilized after the Chinese New Year. It's just that thousands of households have not been put in place, and the guard has not yet been fully built. Now there are only one hundred households in the guard, Hu Huachun, and there are more than 100 soldiers in the guard.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the military service system in the guards. The soldiers in the guards were both farmers and soldiers. They farmed and fought in wars in their spare time.

The military household system of the guards established by the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is worthy of recognition in the early stage. It gave the soldiers a sense of attachment to the fields, which can effectively control the soldiers from going to various places to cause trouble, and also allows the military households to cultivate their own land. There is a sense of belonging, and the court does not need to provide food for the guards.However, this good scripture was slowly read into crooked scriptures. More and more vassal kings, officials, business gentry, and military officers occupied the fields of various guards across the country, and they didn't have to pay taxes. Farmers with fewer and fewer fields, refugee riots occurred from time to time, and finally the Ming Dynasty ended in the hands of a post station staff. The post station is also the post office of later generations.

"Brother Lin, bring the wine!" Hu Baihu yelled when he saw Lin Zicai standing behind the counter. This Hu Baihu had a loud voice, but it didn't affect the guests at other tables. Most of them were people from Jianjian Guardhouse or nearby merchants. After being together for a long time, they didn't know the word "fear". Instead, there was a table of guests who greeted Hu Baihu familiarly.

"Hu Baihu is here, please sit down!" For this kind of military household, He Ji's people have a very good attitude. After all, half of He Ji's guests come from the guards. Just owe a few days.

Lin Zicai said hello, Wang Jingui brought a jar of wine and put it on the table, and He Dawei behind him brought peanuts, chicken feet, etc. to eat, these are old habits, no need to explain more, just go with the flowing water and serve snacks No alcohol.

"Brother Lin, bring up two tanks of good wine today. Mr. Tan, a thousand households in our guard office, will take office today. How can we do without good wine!" Hu Baihu said after bending over and smiling with the man in his thirties.

Qianhu, the number one person in the guard finally came.

"Okay, since today is the appointment of Master Qianhu in the guard, we will give you a tank of good wine as a gift!" Bai He just came out of the kitchen and was about to go home. When Hu Baihu said that Qianhu was taking office, he felt like making friends. , in this troubled world, knowing one more person is one more way, besides, this man is also from a thousand households, and has hundreds of people in his hands.

"Young lady, you're being polite!" Hu Baihu replied, cupping his hands.

A vat of second-course wine was brought to the table by Bai He, without a label or a special bottle, just an ordinary vat.

When the lid is removed, a strong aroma of wine spreads.

I saw that all the military households took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, and saw that the guests at the next table also smelled the smell and turned their eyes.

"That's right! Bring the bowl!" Hu Baihu said loudly.

A row of bowls was laid out one word at a time, and the wine was full. A table of military households, including Tan Qianhu, had a large bowl in front of them, and everyone was about to toast.

"Slow!" Tan Qianhu said, everyone stopped and looked at Tan Qianhu for some reason, but the wine worm on his body had already been seduced.

Tan Qianhu held the bowl, put it next to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and then took a small sip. The mellow wine swirled around in his mouth and then slowly entered his throat. It's even a bit astringent, but after entering the throat and stomach, a warm feeling surges up, followed by a strong fragrance.

"Good wine!" Tan Qianhu put down the bowl and patted the table after waiting for the wine to enter his stomach. Seeing that everyone was staring at him stupidly, he smiled and poured the remaining half of the wine in the bowl into his mouth.

"Good wine!"

"Good wine!"

……

Finally, when Tan Qianhu, Hu Baihu and others walked out of Heji, they staggered and their faces were drunk.When Tan Qianhu went out, he hung his left shoulder on Hu Baihu and his right shoulder on Lin Zicai, and said, "Good wine, good wine, brother Lin, prepare twenty jars of this wine for me, money will not Miss you..." Afterwards, a silver ingot of five taels was thrown into Lin Zicai's arms.

A small number of other guests at the other tables also tasted the wine, and they all said it was good wine. In private, some people asked where the wine was produced and whether they could order a few tanks.One of them was a nearby merchant, who must have seen the business opportunity of this drink, and kept walking around the forest, promising benefits.Lin Zicai and Bai He had no choice but to evade and say that it was a gift from a friend, and they couldn't answer this matter.
