Chapter 162 Disaster Fortune

The restaurant in Xiaoxi Village hasn't opened yet, so it's time to concentrate manpower to make alcohol.

Because the alcohol needs to be distilled and purified repeatedly, the speed is slow and the output is low, so Bai Fu invited old craftsman Li to build a temporary house near the river, and built [-] more pots to carry out at the same time.

For a while, the whole Xiaoxi village was filled with the smell of wine.

People in the village already know how rare the wine in Detian Pavilion is, and they like to visit it when they have nothing to do, saying that just smelling it can be worth a lot of money.

Some people outside the village heard the news and came to join in the fun regardless of the difficulty of the road.

Some thieves even came to visit at night, and after being discovered, Bage simply took Li Zao to live in the shop, and the two took turns keeping vigil at night, which broke some people's minds.

Master Yiyan on the mountain also smelled the aroma of wine, so he specially sent his disciples down to inquire.

The little apprentice was sent to the Detian Pavilion restaurant to buy food and knew the way. After taking a shortcut down the mountain from the back door, he saw a group of people squatting next to the shop. That's why it's so fragrant.

He went back and told Master Yiyan that Master Yiyan had a subtle expression after listening.

His Detian Temple can make tea that can collect blessings, and Detian Pavilion can make wine that can be refined.

Could it be that I learned from him?

Considering that alcohol alone is not enough, other preventive work must be arranged in advance, so Bai Fu invited Mr. Qin and Mr. Fei.

"Although it is too early to publicize the epidemic prevention, we can make some brochures to let the public know in advance, so that they will not panic when things happen."

Luo Jin took out a pamphlet, "My son and I sorted it out last night."

Qin Shisan hurriedly took it and handed it to Master Qin and Young Master Fei for review.

Mr. Qin and Mr. Fei looked at each other after reading it. Mr. Qin had a weird look on his face. Mr. Fei understood and shook his head at him.

"Teacher, don't worry, I believe Xiaobai's move is not to promote alcohol and masks."

There is a reason for Master Fei to say this.

A few days ago, after knowing the price of Bai Fu's honeycomb coal, Mr. Qin casually mentioned it. It was clear that Bai Fu had foresight, but in fact there was another meaning--
Bai Fu made a fortune in disaster.

Because honeycomb coal is not cheap, it is several times the price of years ago.

At this moment, Master Qin's doubts were obvious. Knowing that the teacher is a human being, it would be useless to say more about this doubt, so Master Fei subconsciously explained it to Bai Fu.

Bai Fu: "?"

I really want to roll my eyes.

Useful why not promote?

This Mr. Qin. Bai Fu had a good impression of him before, but since he lived near him, he couldn't help but want to complain about him.

Give him a drink, he will say the wine is good, but too expensive.

Sending him to eat, he also said why the local products are sold at sky-high prices.

If you give him coal, he will say that the coal is good, but it is still too expensive.

Bai Fu couldn't help but secretly asked Qin Shisan if his family was poor, but Qin Shisan said with a constipated face that his father was only concerned about the country and the people.

Worry about the country and the people
Well, after all, he is a well-known master and a master of academics, so he has the qualifications.

Bai Fu just didn't understand, why when he said those words, it always made people feel that Daye Kingdom belonged to him?
Either to persuade her to lower the price, or to tell her the truth of serving the country.

This... If she has this ability, it is naturally her duty.

The problem is, she is now a small family with enough food and clothing, should that be something she considers?

And in this cold weather, don't you need to spend money to send people to the north to contact and find a way to open up trade routes?
The things in her house are expensive, which makes sense, Bai Fu patiently picked up and explained the parts that could be explained.

Unexpectedly, this master Qin is a dead man, insisting that small profits but quick turnover is the way to do business in the long run, and exaggerated publicity is not advisable.

Bai Fu refused to accept it, and discussed with him several times, each time the two talked with each other, each talking about their own reasons.

The last time Mr. Qin was in a hurry, he also said that he believes that there is no business without evil in this world.

Look at what this says.

Doesn't that mean: If you don't listen to his advice and don't lower the price, you will be a profiteer?

Her Detian Pavilion only took a rare high-end route, and she was named a profiteer. Bai Fu instantly felt powerless like a scholar meeting a soldier.

Although in Master Qin's eyes, she might be the soldier.

Come on, it's not too much to speculate.

She can't really compete with an ancient man with modern business routines. For the sake of Qin Shisan and Mr. Fei, she decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not care about him.

But what happened to Mr. Fei today, can't you two talk about it behind your back?
If you have to do it in front of me, in front of everyone, do I refute you, or do I refute you?

"If there is an outbreak, and alcohol and masks are really useful, what's wrong with selling them?"

She tried her best to be objective and fair, with a harmless smile on her face, just like when she was arguing with Master Qin a few days ago.

"noob"

"noob"

Young Master Fei and Qin Shisan simultaneously spoke out to dissuade them.

The sharp-tongued boy, Mr. Qin and Mr. Bai Fu have been talking smoothly recently, regardless of Qin Shisan and Mr. Fei's obstruction, they came right away:
"I've only heard about rice wine exorcising evil spirits, but never about alcohol for epidemic prevention. How do you know it works?"

That's a good question, at least to the point.

Bai Fu thought about it.

This is really hard to explain to him, after all, it involves things like bacteria and virus cells that they have never heard of.

Explain one, but also uproot a series of why.

She was silent for a moment, and finally decided not to argue with this leisurely breath, but to avoid the seriousness and let it go.

"Although it's not as good as alcohol, vinegar and sulfur also have certain effects. You can also write these in. Right now, there's not much coal, and I can't make much alcohol."

If you think I'm a profiteer, I still choose someone to sell!
Master Qin wanted to ask something, but Qin Shisan quickly stopped him.

"Father, I just saw that the messenger from Tao's family has arrived, so let's read the letter first."

While talking, he winked at Bai Fu, telling her to keep her words down.

The two cannot discuss.

Once discussed, it is easy to get confused for no reason. Although there is no malice, it is a disagreement after all. A little carelessness can easily capsize the boat of friendship.

Master Qin reluctantly got up, and gave Bai Fu a meaningful look.

It's been a long time since he became a teacher, and no one has quarreled with him so much. This kid is a bit interesting.

When Master Qin was dragged away by Qin Shisan, Bai Fu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and slumped on the chair in a disfigured manner.

"Master Qin, what's the matter, every time I have to teach me a few words to feel comfortable." She pretended to be exhausted and complained.

Luo Jin smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry about it, Xiaobai. Mr. Qin just likes to get to the bottom of things and want to ask clearly. It's not aimed at you."

Bai Fu snorted.

Knowing that Luo Jin could not offend Mr. Qin, he stopped answering his words and turned to Mr. Fei.

"Mr. Fei also thinks that my way of promoting alcohol masks is inappropriate?" she asked.

This question is quite subtle.

Actually, what Bai Fu wants to ask is that you also think I'm a profiteer?

Don't blame her for being paranoid.

The status of ancient merchants was low and belonged to the bottom class.

"The humble is called a marketer, and the humble is called a marketer, and you must not compete with scholar-bureaucrats." It is a businessman.

Whether her status is low or not, Bai Fu doesn't particularly care, after all, her goal is very clear——
have a good time.

If you can live a good life in business, that is a good career, and what others say is none of her business.

Mr. Fei took a look at her insignificant sitting posture, looked away, and proved his position with practical actions.

"I want two altars."

A Li hurriedly handed over the bank note, "This is the deposit, the rest will be delivered later."

"Sure enough, the young master has eyesight."

Bai Fu was already used to being smashed by Mr. Fei with the banknotes, so he didn't delay, and took the banknotes happily, "Don't worry, the old rules, we still only charge you the cost price."

Ah Li hurriedly said no, Bai Fu smiled and said no more.

After sending away these scholars who like to talk about rules and regulations, Xiao Liang and Xiao Si came over:
"Xiaobai, is alcohol epidemic prevention the same as the last time you used alcohol to treat my fever?"

Bai Fu shook his head, and began to popularize science for two children who understand science, don't argue, and know how to keep secrets:

"It's different. Last time we used low-concentration alcohol to help the body cool down. This time we need a higher concentration of alcohol. This alcohol enters the bacteria and kills bad bacteria without harming the human body."

Xiao Liang thought for a while, "I know, it's the same reason as when brother Luo was bitten by a dog, Xiao Bai used alcohol to disinfect him."

Bai Fu nodded, "It's a little different, but it's pretty much the same."

Suddenly, Xiaosi let out a happy cry.

"It's no wonder that every time Mr. Qin said his stomach was uncomfortable, Dad would drink with him. It turned out to be to disinfect his stomach!"

Bai Fu: "."

A few people chatted for a while, Xiao Liang thought about mathematics these days and said that money was not spent, and asked:
"Xiaobai, we have spent so much money making alcohol. If there is no epidemic, wouldn't it be for nothing?"

Bai Fu naturally considered this point.

"That's the reason." Bai Fu nodded, "But it's also necessary to plan ahead. It's too late to prepare after something happens. For money, if you lose a little, you lose a little, and if you make a lot of money, your life is important."

Xiao Liang nodded with a half understanding, while Xiao Si said generously:
"Xiaobai, don't worry, I don't have enough money."

Bai Fu loves Xiao Si's generous mouth so much, he couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch her bun face, "With Xiao Si here, I can feel relieved!"

Looking at the soaring coal price, Aunt Yu was so anxious that her mouth burst into flames.

"Master, why hasn't Liulang delivered coal yet?" She asked, "Based on this momentum, selling coal for one winter can cover our previous year's revenue!"

"how could I know!"

Master Guo said angrily, "The road is blocked by heavy snow, and there is no letter. I don't know what's going on there! Now it's not that our coal shop is out of coal. I heard that the coal shop in Xiaoxi Village is also out of stock." .”

"That's why I'm in a hurry!"

Aunt Yu said, "Whoever's coal arrives first can make a steady profit. How can I put it this way, Liu Lang should be close to his own family first, right?"

"That's natural." Master Guo didn't even think about it, "I'm Liu Lang's own father, won't the Guo family still belong to him in the future, can he be so stupid as to ignore himself?"

Aunt Yu immediately stared round.

What do you mean this house will belong to Guo Liulang in the future?

What about his Shichiro?

Isn't it his own?
It seems that Liulang can't be allowed to go back to Raozhou to find a marriage. Since he likes Anzhou so much, he should stay in Anzhou for the rest of his life!

"By the way, master, the girls from the families who saw Liu Lang answered the phone. I don't know where they heard the rumor that Liu Lang broke his sleeve. How can I explain that they don't believe it, and just say that the marriage is not discussed."

Master Guo slapped the table angrily.

"Which gossip is still talking about these old things? Why, a rumor and misunderstanding are worse than facts?"

Aunt Yu agreed with a gloomy expression.

"I'm afraid someone doesn't want our Guo family to be good!"

Guo Jiuniang heard this sentence when she entered the door, and said angrily:

"Yeah, now the whole Bailu Town misses my Guo family!"

I went to buy new year's goods a year ago, and someone still mentioned shit!Previously it was because of the No. [-] scholar meal, but this time it was because of the stone liquid ink. It is said that the writing is delicious this time, and I am not afraid of being stamped with shit!
Outrageous!

Mr. Guo was already angry, but his daughter's words made him furious, and when he saw Guo Qilang who came in listlessly behind, he was even more angry.

"Why do they all look like their dead fathers!"

Guo Qilang was thinking about something at first, but he didn't notice the movement in the room just now. He was a little confused by his father's scolding. Aunt Yu couldn't sit still seeing Master Guo throwing fire with his precious son:
"It's none of my business, Shichiro!"

Seeing that her father and mother looked bad, Guo Jiuniang didn't dare to speak anymore, and stepped aside calmly, so as not to be implicated innocently.

Guo Qilang also realized that he was being used as a venting bag, his face darkened, he gave a hasty blessing and turned back to his yard.

Every day, why do I always feel uncomfortable?

Xiaoxi Village, which had been quiet for a long time, became noisy again.

The Tiger Roaring Escort sent most of its manpower to the north to transport coal, and the men in Xiaoxi Village were either training in the coal workshop or working in the alcohol workshop.

Bai Fu adheres to the code of conduct of the villain first and the gentleman second.

These people voluntarily signed the contract of sale and strict confidentiality agreement. The advantage is that they can work as managers in the branch when they open a branch in the future. As long as they work hard, they will not worry about eating and drinking at home.

If a leak is discovered, no matter what form it is, once it is verified, not only will it have to pay a lot of money, but it will also face government punishment.

The women were not idle either, gathering together to make masks and blouses.

The old village chief took those who had enough energy in the village to shovel the snow at the gates of the two shops and in the village to make it easier for everyone to travel.

Although the road was blocked by heavy snow, many students still rushed back to the college to attend classes as scheduled, including several students who were part-time students in the college.

With an idea, Bai Fu entrusted them with copying the pamphlets and encouraged them to find more people to copy.

It is better for a scholar to say one sentence than she shouts a hundred sentences. This kind of publicity channel should not be underestimated.

Li Zao came to beg for work again, Bai Fu thought about it, and asked him to go to the town to collect news every day, and notify in time of any changes.

The brochures copied by the students quickly spread in the college, and Guo Qilang also got a copy.

He took the pamphlet back to Master Guo and told him that it was distributed by De Tiange.

The reason for doing this is because his father repeatedly told him that he would come back and tell him about everything about Detian Pavilion.

His father even remembered such trivial things as a few scratches on the door couplet of Detian Pavilion, Guo Qilang felt that such a big matter as distributing plague prevention booklets should meet his father's threshold for knowledge.

But this time he guessed wrong, his father put the brochure aside after reading it, and sent him away after saying that he knew it.

Guo Qilang just wanted to complete the task, and his father didn't care if he paid attention to him, so he went back to read his book.

Master Guo is writing a letter to Guo Liulang, asking why the coal has not been delivered.

They didn't prepare much goods years ago, and they didn't get much benefit from this wave of demand. Aunt Yu nagged in his ear all day about the loss, so that he didn't have the mood to go out and gossip.

He took someone to the Black Gem shop today, and the exclusive distribution right for the wood carving was hung in a corner of the shop, and it clearly stated that it was given to the He family in Anzhou.

Seeing the excitement in his heart, he wished he could grab it and put it in his shop.

But he didn't have the guts.

Only let the master craftsman who brought it memorize the content and pattern, and prepare to make one according to it.

Well, maybe one day it will come in handy by accident?
