Chapter 12 In exchange for grain piled into mountains
Early the next morning, Zhao Xing sent Pei Yuanshao to the county town with dozens of merchants and used a ox cart to pull hundreds of sets of furniture. When he left, he wrote a letter to Li Jinsi and explained it in this way, for fear that the two Li brothers would suffer because they were not in the city.
Although Li Jinsi was a little bitch, she was actually very jealous. The day before yesterday, they waited until Zhao Xing and Xu Wanting came back to the store, so they asked around quietly and found that the servants of Zhang's mansion in the city were looking for people everywhere. After thinking about it, Li Jinsi guessed something, so he didn't say anything. He led several merchants to Zhang's mansion, found the housekeeper, and transported the grain that was used as a deposit to the furniture store.
The Zhang family had a great career, so the butler didn't say much, but repeatedly reminded him to deliver the furniture to the next day. Li Jinsi naturally agreed. Anyway, the piles of furniture in Lijiazhuang were real, and he had a clear mind.
Since Zhao Xing entered the Changzi County for the first time, Xu Wanting was a girl's house and rarely showed up in public before. In addition, the third son of the Zhang family that Zhao Xing beat was not a legitimate son, and Zhang Baiwan had already scolded him a lot on weekdays, so the matter soon calmed down. When Pei Yuanshao brought the village house into the city, people almost forgot about yesterday. But seeing them shouting and pulling a lot of wooden furniture to the "Dafen Banner" furniture store, people started to talk.
Everyone said: Since Miss Zhang's family went to the county magistrate's office the day before yesterday and saw the "handkerchief handkerchief" daughter of the county magistrate, she came back and acted coquettishly at Mr. Zhang's family, and the servants of the Zhang family were looking for "Dafen Banner" furniture all over the city. It is said that the strange name "Dafen Banner" was seen by Miss Zhang from a cabinet leg of the "Youthful and Beautiful" high and low cabinet used by the county magistrate's daughter.
At noon, people all over the city saw a group of countrymen with the words "Daven Flag" written on their clothes and sent ten sets of furniture to the Zhang Mansion. Later, I heard that the old man from the Zhang family praised everyone: Daven Flag furniture is so good! Since using the "shaking chair", my waist is no longer sore, and my back is no longer hurting...
With the first customer, naturally, all the well-known wealthy families in the eldest son's county town came to buy new furniture. During this period, Zhao Xing also gave Li Ting'an, the owner of Lijiazhuang, Li Qing and others a few sets of furniture. Half a month later, Li Jinsi sold the last set of furniture in the county town.
After deducting the store expenses and the expenses of a group of people in the county, after selling furniture, Zhao Xing was able to get more than 23,000 stones of grain by himself, which was enough for him and his mother to eat for three lifetimes!
The tenants from the Li Family House could get 500 kilograms of grain according to the amount of work they had. According to the living standards at that time, 600 kilograms of grain was enough for a family of five for six years (one person was calculated according to the high standard of 500 kilograms of grain per year).
"Brother Xing, can you pay back the money you owed me, just pay back the food?" Li Jinsi said after Zhao Xing.
"Xiaoxing, should we sell some food and exchange it for some money, and go to the 'Fenyun Tower' to set up a table to celebrate?" Li Jinwu smiled awkwardly.
"Wow, there is so much food. I, Zhang Wangcai, is so old, and it is the first time I see you!" Zhang Wangcai sighed with saliva.
"Now my iron cow has white flour buns to eat." Li Ergou muttered.
"Tsk, look at you all have such a little bit of a fortune. This little bit of food is nothing! Follow me, good days are still coming..." Zhao Xing, who looked stern, shook his head and said.
When all the tenants of the Li Family Courtyard were at a loss when they looked at the mountains of grain piled up in the square, they saw the "Wenquxing" and "God of Wealth" who saved the suffering in their eyes - Zhao Xing thought further: in history, good wines were produced in Shanxi, one Fenjiu and the other Zhuyeqing, which were all famous wines in history. The huge profit-making business model of selling furniture was unsustainable. I believe that it won't take long. Many skilled craftsmen will, inspired by Zhao Xing's new furniture, make more, better and cheaper furniture.
However, the liquor brewed in this era is not as clear and transparent as in later generations, and the degree is not as high as in later generations. After all, the distillation and purification technology will take a long time to be used in the winemaking process. If you organize a group of winemaking craftsmen to improve the liquor production process and master the core technology in your hands, I believe that you will be able to make a fortune in a short time.
Now that there is a lot of food, Bingzhou has the best wine brewing masters and ready-made wine brewing workshops. As long as you brew good wine, you can succeed by using the fine wine to lure the fierce people of the Three Kingdoms!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel proud. He pulled Li Jinsi and Li Jinwu and his brothers got out of the crowd and plunged into his study.
