Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77 Doing a Small Business (3)

For the sake of the winery, Xu Qing specially asked someone to take a half-month leave for himself. The ten-day hard work was finally not in vain. From purchasing materials, fermenting, extracting puree, distilling, and filling altars, a series of process steps are as follows: Distilled alcohol is produced continuously like running water.It's just that the existing distilled wine is all distilled from the purchased puree wine, and the first batch to come to the store only weighs [-] catties.

Opening in a low-key manner, Xu Qing personally inspected the cabinets.It is fine for Xu Qing to inspect the cabinets in person, but don't expect him to do things in person, he just sits on the sidelines and observes, and it is others who actually do things.But after waiting for two hours, no one came. Doesn't the promised wine smell deep in the alley?Xu Qing had an idea, called Xiao Er, and told him: "Xiao Er, go to a jar of strong wine, go pour three bowls on the street, and pour three bowls every morning, noon and evening for the next three days, if others ask, You call it a toasting fairy."

"Here..." Xiaoer went in response, and when pouring wine on the street, he yelled a few words of Qin opera to show his respect for the "Jiu Xian".Xu Qing looked at it and nodded. The aroma of this wine is not afraid of deep alleys, so it must be spread out. I am afraid that someone will come to ask about it.

"Huh? There's a smell of wine coming from here..."

"Yes, yes, I smelled it too, did you break the wine jar?"

"This wine smells different, what do you think?"

"The aroma of this wine seems to come from afar. What kind of good wine can smell so far!"

"Walk, walk, look for it..."

At this time, a large group of people had gathered around the entrance of the Jiuxian brewery, and there were many discussions in the crowd:

"Such a good wine has been poured away..." An old man looked at the marks left by the three bowls of wine on the ground with great regret, and said with a click of his tongue.

"How come it still smells so good after being on the ground for a quarter of an hour!" A man had been standing here for a long time, as if he couldn't walk after smelling the aroma of the wine.

"Yeah, Hache! This smell is too good to bear." Another man sneezed loudly.

There are more and more people, and those who have spare money start to inquire about the price:
"Xiao Er, how do you sell this wine?"

"Guest officer, this wine is ten cents a catty, and on the first day of today, it only costs six cents!" Xiao Er returned, and Xu Qing naturally asked him to talk about the discounted sale.Distilled wine has less requirements for raw materials, but consumes more. The cost of a catty of wine is at least three pennies, which is slightly more expensive than the original puree wine, so the six-cent wine is only one penny more expensive than the general price money.

"Tsk tsk, this wine is expensive..." Some people shook their heads, but some people thought it was too expensive and wanted to buy it and taste it, and said, "You think it's expensive, but I don't think it's too expensive. Xiaoer makes half a catty of wine, put it in the bowl , I'm going to try it now..."

"Okay, I'll be here soon~" Xiao Er enthusiastically went to beat half a catty, filled three bowls, put them on a tray, and walked out.

"Quick, quick, let me taste..." The man impatiently took a bowl of wine, swallowed it down, his stomach was burning hot, his mouth was fragrant, his whole body seemed to be kneaded carefully, and he sighed He shouted: "Good wine!" The remaining two bowls, he proudly distributed to a few people he knew present, and those who ate the wine all praised, "Good wine!".

"Give me a catty, don't mix it with water!"

"I want a catty too, the cash is here!"

"I want ten catties, sixty cash a penny is a lot..."

"Why do you buy so much, go back and drink you to death!"

"I'm happy, hehe..."

With someone taking the lead, within a short while, less than half of the [-] catties of wine were sold. After noon, only [-] to [-] catties of wine were left, and they were sold out before dark. The sign hangs high.

"Not bad, it looks like a good way to make money..." Xu Qing rewarded the two mistresses, and then returned to the winery to give him some encouragement.Then I talked to the butler that Li Shiji sent over, and became the hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind. Anyway, I am here every day, and I can deal with problems in time.

Jiuxianniang has become famous, and many ordinary people's homes have begun to drink Jiuxianniang as a respect.Every morning, many people are waiting here early in the morning. As soon as the door opens, it will be sold out in less than an hour.When the output of Xu Qing's winery started to increase, the business of other hotels was getting worse day by day, and no one bought them when the price was reduced.On Xu Qing's side, the supply was in short supply, and the price was increased several times, and even a catty of wine was sold for 5.00 Wen, which was a profit of [-]%.

Later, Jiuxianniang negotiated cooperation with several puree wine workshops, directly purchased a large amount of puree wine for distillation and processing, and the original winery became a winery specializing in the production of alcohol raw materials for the imperial court. talk.Let go of the shopkeeper Xu Qing, the holiday is over, and you still have to clock in at work.

The Imperial Medical Office is not only an ancient medical institution, but also a medical education institution. It was first built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was completed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When it was prosperous, there were more than 3000 teachers and students in the school, which was comparable to the number of Taixue Guozijian.

There are two departments of medicine and pharmacy in the Imperial Medical Administration.Under the Department of Medicine, there are four departments of Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage, and Curse.The Imperial Medical Administration of the Tang Dynasty not only had clear divisions, but also a strict examination system.When students enter the school, they "take the exam and use it like the Guozijian". After admission, they will take the exam every month, quarter, and year.According to the test results, there are clear rewards and punishments: "If the professional skills are better than the incumbent officials, they will be replaced; those who fail to succeed in nine years of school will retreat from their true colors."

There are two Imperial Medical Orders in the Imperial Medical Office, and Xu Qing is one of them.

Wearing a blue official uniform, Xu Qing walked into the Imperial Medical Office, and saw people from the Imperial Medical Office gathering together to write and write, not knowing what they were doing.

"My lord, the Imperial Medical Office is conducting an assessment right now, outsiders are not allowed to disturb you, please forgive me..." An old man stopped Xu Qing.

"Oh? Could it be that I, as an imperial physician, can't read the assessment of the Imperial Medical Office?" Xu Qing asked with a smile. There is no big difference between the Tang Dynasty and the sixth rank. Xu Qing is not angry when he leaves Xu Qing's official position.

"My lord, you are joking, the imperial physician is not as young as you, and besides, the Imperial Medical Office has not yet issued an imperial medical order..." The old man couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"There is no imperial physician's order? No way..." Xu Qing took out the appointment document from his pocket, looked left and right, yes, it was the imperial physician's order, Xu Qing handed the document to the old man suspiciously.After watching it, the old man hurriedly paid his respects, and shouted to the students who were taking the exam: "The imperial physician ordered Mr. Xu to inspect the exam room!"

"What? When did you get too many imperial medical orders?"

"I don't know, you look very young, how did you become an imperial physician order?"

"Hmph, it's not just some royal family who came to pay the gold!"

"I have a pity that I take the test every year. I have tasted all kinds of medicines and seen all kinds of diseases. I am not as good as others!"

"Yes, yes, yes, what brother said is reasonable, I and other poor family children are no match for them after all..."

Xu Qing couldn't help being amused when he heard these comments, do you really think I'm a nobleman?I also thought, why doesn't this damn God let me time travel to the body of Wang Sunhou Ye!Xu Qing looked at the old man, and the old man showed a slight smile. It was obvious that the "the doctor's order is here" just now had some meaning.
