Chapter 162 The sedan chair

He had to bend down and lower his head in front of Zhao Jin, but behind his back he said his wine tasted bad, which was also fun.

I didn’t expect to drink a glass of wine, and I immediately tasted the taste. I quickly called the waiters to ask for more, but the waiters smiled bitterly and said: "Sold out."

Yunshan Tower specializes in banquet business, and the wine is a large quantity, which is much more than Yuliuju. Some people taste it and add more immediately. Many people do the same. By the time those who belatedly react, this is already

No more wine

Scenes like this appear everywhere in Xuzhou City, but many people feel differently. According to some drunkards in the south of the city: "The wine is good, but the taste is a little bland." However, they have another sentence: "No one sells wine.

If you have a conscience, you can't add some water."

Not everyone's business is good, there are also many people who buy wine but can't sell it for a while, but the drinkers don't buy it, but the wine sellers come to buy it. Several big stores with good business know that they can't buy it at Piaoxiang Winery.

, just send the clerks to drive carts around the city to search for wine, and the price will be increased by ten or twenty cents per kilogram, which is equivalent to the retail price. Those who are not doing well are willing to sell, and those who buy it back at a higher price will not lose.

Anyway, you can sell it for more money.

Buyers from several big stores in the city have met many times in the city. If they want to buy it, they can only increase the price. A pound can be increased to 50 yuan at most. For these big stores, even if they will compensate for the time being, they can't tell customers that they don't have it.

, let alone let regular customers go to other places to drink this wine.

The hot news about Hanjing famous wine has not reached Zhao Jin's ears yet, but he can feel it from his father's excited description when he came home.

"Tonight, those grandsons laughed at me, saying that the wine was not good to drink, so everyone should eat more meat. As a result, these drunkards drank all the two jars. They wanted to drink more, but they ran out. One by one, they had to go to the store where the wine was sold.

Small place to drink and have a good time”

Zhao Jin not only called over various liquor sellers, but also asked his father to invite the policemen and clerks from the Yamen to drink. These people were also big consumers of soju.

Of course, this group of people was well-informed and knew that Zhao Jin used sorghum to make wine. Many people were waiting to see the joke, and many people made fun of Zhao Zhentang intentionally or unintentionally. This time, their father was also very proud.

"This wine is really good. I will bring some back every day from now on." Zhao Zhentang obviously drank too much and was very excited. Zhao Jinyu said with a smile: "Dad, drinking too much wine is harmful to your health. My child only brings back two taels every day."

"You kid can't bear to part with me." Zhao Zhentang pointed at Zhao Jin with laughter and tears, but did not continue to argue. He just said with a smile: "Today, those wines were delivered to the houses of the Yamen masters. No one of them thought it was a favor, and I didn't know what to think.

Woolen cloth?"

"It doesn't matter, everything will be different tomorrow."

The father and son chatted for a while, but Zhao Jin did not stay at home and hurried to the winery at night. According to the current momentum, sales are gradually opening up, and the main concern is production.

Servants armed with spears patrolled in formation outside the winery, lanterns were hung inside the winery, and everyone was busy in full swing.

"My boss, we only have less than 5,000 jins of wine and grain. We still have more than 8,000 jins of sorghum. If we sell well, these will not be enough."

"Several grain shops have already said hello. Don't empty the wine and grain in your wine cellar, and don't stop steaming wine. I can maintain everything here for you."

"Master, if the wine jars at various wine selling places are empty, please bring them back as soon as possible, otherwise they won't be enough.

"I will arrange for people to go there. There is a saying you must remember. You must follow yesterday's rules. Distribute the wine and grain, steam the shochu, and change the water in the sky pot. You can't skip a step. If something is not up to standard, you would rather stop doing it.

, understand, our signboard has just been erected and cannot be smashed under any circumstances.”

In the wine shop, Zhao Jin warned with a serious face that Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da were not hot-headed young people, and they also understood this sense of propriety.

That night, Zhao Jin did not go back to sleep, but stayed in the wine shop. The next day, Ji Xiang and others went to Chen Hong to withdraw money to purchase deposits from various places. Chen Hong, who was very calculating, gave the money very happily this time.

Because the situation is completely clear, if you spend one penny, you will definitely get nine pence or more back. Why not do this kind of business?

That is to say, just after dawn, shopkeepers and buyers from all over the city are already crowded in front of the winery courtyard. Yesterday, everyone bought not much. According to judgment, there should be some inventory here, and they all want to clear out the inventory.

In fact, everyone is also worried. Although you can taste each bottle of wine before buying it, this kind of thing is too random. God knows whether the next batch of wine can maintain the same taste.

Seeing this lively scene, Zhao Jin turned around and went to the workshop while giving instructions to collect the money and ship the goods. One pot was obviously not enough.

After discussing with Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da, we decided to make three more large-scale steamed wines. According to Lu Xiangjiu, there are many abandoned wineries in and outside the city. We can always collect some wine-making equipment. With these ready-made things, the construction speed can be

Much faster, and then we can customize it if there is not enough. The most important thing now is that food, water and firewood are not cut off, and the manpower must be available, otherwise the quality of the wine cannot be controlled.

After the battle of making wine that day, Lu Xiangjiu and Su Da also understood that what Zhao Jin asked for was a secret, so they named a few names. These people were all wine-making craftsmen who had changed careers. They were all quite poor, but their wine-making skills

Not bad. Under such circumstances, if someone hires them, they will definitely be grateful and diligent in their work. Needless to say, it is easy to keep secrets.

I roughly estimated the stock of wine. Even if production continues every day, and the current sales limit of five jars per household is available, there will be no inventory in a few days. Although the demand is enthusiastic, the production capacity is not large.

In the morning, there was noisy delivery and buying of wine. In the afternoon, more idlers gathered here to watch the fun. However, the number of people in the goods yard gradually increased. Ye Wenwen dragged several companions to come here. Zhao Jin’s servant

They also stopped training and ran around to notify those qualified young men who had been registered at the beginning. Soon there was a long queue again at the goods yard.

It turned out to be word of mouth, and it took more than ten days to gather less than 150 people. Now as soon as the news came out, people from inside and outside the city gathered here. Now who doesn't know how to work under Zhao Jin and have enough to eat?

They drink enough and sleep warmly, and they never default on their monthly payment. Moreover, the young people have another reason, that is, prestige. Almost all the young people in Xuzhou have seen the drills of the servants on the goods yard, that kind of neatness, that kind of solemnity.

, are what young people yearn for, and everyone wants to be one of them.

Even if you don't have that intention, you may still consider working as a waiter in a winery. Not to mention whether you can learn a craft, the food there is good and the wages are good. This is the most attractive part.

Different from the last selection, this time there are hard standards. How many times can the stone lock stone bar be lifted? How far can it run in one-third of the time of burning incense? Do the parents at home agree? Is anyone willing to guarantee it?

If one fails to meet the requirement, he or she will not be admitted.

But such hard standards are more attractive to young people. If you can be selected according to such standards, it means that you are much better than your peers, which is an honor in itself.

As for the winery's clerks and apprentices, they are mainly selected for being healthy and disease-free, with honest character, and guaranteed by someone. When signing up to sign a contract, the clerk from the yamen always reminds you that you know who Mr. Jin is, and he is from the winery.

If the method is secretly learned and leaked, the lives of the whole family will be in danger.

Some people who are cautious shrink back when they hear this, but most people don't care. Nowadays, they go to work as apprentices in shops and work for others. It's the same thing. It's good to have enough to eat in the first three years. If you get beaten, it's not bad.

It was common to be scolded and even beaten to death without being able to sue his employer. Zhao Jin's conditions could be said to be merciful.

Everyone was in full swing, but Chen Hong, who was in charge of the accounting, soon turned bitter. This business indeed seemed to be very profitable, but when the stall suddenly opened, a large amount of money was spent, and the money saved by Xu'an Commercial Bank

Soon there were only more than 800 taels left.

The reputation of Hanjing famous wine really started on the fourth day after the wine tasting party. Zhao Jin, through his father Zhao Zhentang and other connections, sent small jars of white wine to the officials and gentry in the city.

These families are always in need of people to give gifts, not to mention that Zhao Jin sent a small wine jar without thinking. Everyone was in awe of Zhao Jin's prestige, and the servants accepted the wine politely, but would not give it to the master.

If you drink it, if it tastes bad and harmful, wouldn’t you be causing trouble for yourself?

But as soon as the wine tasting party was over, the news spread throughout the city the next day. Some people came back from a banquet and said the wine was good. The servants at home immediately remembered that the Zhao family seemed to have sent wine and hurriedly presented the wine. After drinking it, it was really good.

.

When a man of letters drinks good wine, no matter how good his literary talent is, he will always comment on the situation, or write poems and the like. This is what the magistrates, Tongzhi, official officials, and government officials in the household department do.

They talked about the good wine, and asked the servants to buy it, and they would discuss it when they met each other. After all, Zhao Jin, who had no experience in making good wine, was also a strange thing in Xuzhou City.

After the evaluations of these officials and gentry came out, the reputation of the shochu brewed by Zhao Jin began to ferment and swell. People have a herd mentality and like to imitate role models. Officials and gentry in the ruling class are role models for everyone to imitate. They said

If this wine tastes good, then this wine must taste good. What’s more, this famous Hanjing wine is not just hyped in vain, but has real high quality.

“The liquor is crystal clear, sweet and mellow, the mouth is like a spring, and the lower throat is like fire.” “The liquor is as strong as a tiger, and the aftertaste is as long as a snake.” All kinds of fair and unreasonable comments have come out one after another. With their love and support, Hanjing

The popularity of famous wines suddenly increased.
