Chapter 40

For a foreigner to open a liquor store in Jinghua City, it will take a month and a half just to select a location, clear up relationships, and so on.However, Yunweilang and his party were all human beings, and they finished the chores in less than ten days.In the next few days, Bai Gui followed the tail wolf to several alleys, lobbied the folk winemakers with high prices, and resold his own wine to them.

This approach is because the cloud-tailed wolf believes that although buying and selling alcoholic beverages is a pretense, since starting a business, it should act like a serious businessman, be mercenary, and keep an eye on money.Although Shentang wine is good and wonderful, but the cost is too high, it is difficult to make a profit in the early stage of trading.But the wines of small private households are different. There are many types, low cost, and pure taste. If they are put together in a store and listed, the price can be raised even higher, which is basically a stable profit.

Because I was busy with these things, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.The climate in the southern country warms up extremely quickly.On March [-]th, the spring air was already strong, Shu Tang was dressed in lake-colored clothes, and squatted under the grape arbor to count the wine jars.

After counting, she picked up a small altar and just turned around when she saw Ruan Feng standing behind her.

Ruan Feng seemed to be waiting for a while.When he saw that Shu Tang was well dressed, with a small cloth bag hanging from her shoulder, he knew that she was going out.Ruan Feng smiled and said, "I was busy a while ago, so I just came to see you today. Unexpectedly, you were about to go out."

Shu Tang was overjoyed when he saw Ruan Feng.She put the small wine jar on the stone table next to her, and took out a few small silver bills from the cloth bag: "Brother Ruan Feng, this is the money due in February. I will divide it among the fourth uncle, Xiao stick, and pass it on for me." Give it to them, okay?"

Fourth Uncle, Xiao Gun and others are the brewers hired by Ruan Feng to help Shu Tang.

Ruan Feng glanced at the recipe for wine making, but frowned: "I have said many times, you can keep the money you get from selling wine. Fourth Uncle and the others, I will subsidize it myself."

Shu Tang shook his head solemnly: "This is impossible. Brother Ruan Feng helped me find the wine making place. Brother Cao who bought the wine was introduced to me by you. Even fourth uncle and the others helped me to make wine. Yes. At best, I run more errands and sell alcohol, and I really shouldn’t have taken all the money I earned.”

Ruan Feng knew that she couldn't screw Shu Tang in this regard, so she had no choice but to accept the bank note.His eyes swept over her body, and he said: "When I came just now, I didn't see two mastiffs, but I saw your two little mules standing by the door. They are so well prepared, where are you going?"

Shu Tang was bending over to hug the small wine jar back into her arms, she was overjoyed after hearing this.While following Ruan Feng out of the house, Shu Tang said: "My father is going to offer incense in the temple today, and the lettuce and cabbage followed. Brother Ruan Feng, I had a business discussion a while ago, and a son wanted to buy Shen Tang wine , I will sign the form with him right now."

After finishing speaking, the two of them had arrived outside Shu's Inn.Shu Tang closed the door of the inn, and fixed the small wine jar on the mule cart.She held the little horsewhip and said to Ruan Feng: "Brother Ruan Feng, are you going back to the palace? I'll give you a ride."

Today, Ruan Feng's identity is not what it used to be.Two years ago, after Fang Tangqiu's three families collapsed, the sixth prince, Ruan Feng's biological father, took him back to the palace under the name of "adopted son".Because of the disintegration of the three major families, Ruan Feng contributed a lot. Not long after that, King Nan Jun named Ruan Feng the young prince.

Shu Tang's mule cart was bought with money saved up for her business.Although the mule cart is not petty, but its appearance is so ordinary, it is really not worthy of the status of a golden prince.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Feng didn't mind, she said "yes" with a smile, lifted the hem of her clothes, and sat next to Shu Tang.

With a crack of the whip, the two little mules started to run.Walking to the long street, the bustling spring made Shu Tang look around.Ruan Feng was thinking about business matters.

It never occurred to him that this is so expensive to make, that someone would be willing to buy and sell Shentang wine mixed with highland barley from the north.

Ruan Feng frowned again, and he asked, "A Tang, who is the wine buyer you mentioned just now?"

Shu Tang's hands paused, and after a while, she replied, "It's... a young master surnamed Yun. His name is Yun Ye, and he just came to Jinghua City a while ago."

"Surname Yun?" Ruan Feng's eyebrows tightened even more.After thinking about it for a while, he said to Shu Tang: "A Tang, since you haven't signed the bill, the business is not counted now. You might as well shirk it today. If you want to sell more wine in the future, I can discuss it with Cao Sheng." .”

Shu Tang was startled when he heard this.She turned her head to look at Ruan Feng, then turned her face to look at the mule. "No, I can't rely on Brother Ruan Feng for help all the time. I have to sell wine well. I can save more money in the future, or... I can take my father for a walk around, have a look, and gain some knowledge."

"But you are a girl..."

"That Mr. Yun is very good." Shu Tang said, "Because Brother Cao told him that this was the first time I did business with a stranger, he said that he would resell Shen Tang wine in the future, regardless of whether it could be sold or not. , advance the money to me first.”

After speaking, she came to the fork in Prince Liang's Mansion. Ruan Feng got off the mule cart, thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, if you want to do business, then do it. When you sign the bill, remember that you have a price in mind. Don’t sell it lightly, wait for the other party to negotiate the price first.”

Xiaotang of the Shu family nodded.

Ruan Feng pondered again, and continued: "Since we are talking about business and our own affairs, don't mention too much to others."

Xiaotang from the Shu family nodded again.

Ruan Feng was about to say something, but Shu Tang stepped forward and said, "Brother Ruan Feng, don't worry. I'm going to Wangguilou to discuss business with Mr. Yun. The place belongs to Brother Cao. If I encounter difficulties, I can still help you." Looking for him."

After hearing this, Ruan Feng was relieved a little.Shu Tang patted the mule and was just about to leave, but unexpectedly Ruan Feng added: "I have something to do right now, when I'm done, I'd better go to Guilou to have a look."

But after the words were finished, the two little mules had already run away for a while, and Shu Tang didn't listen too clearly.

Yun Chenya chose the cubicle on the second floor, near the window, so it was easy to see.He came half an hour earlier and had nothing to do, so he looked around the street.There are newly drawn willow branches beside the street.The tailed wolf thought to himself, the willow tree is too spineless, as far away as Beihuang, as close as Nanjun, it really grows everywhere and can be seen everywhere.I don't know why Shen Mei, who is called his daughter-in-law but is actually his younger sister-in-law, got into trouble, and just likes this spineless crooked neck tree.

Thinking of this, the cloud tail wolf couldn't help sighing in his heart. In fact, Xiaotang of the Shu family, who likes loofah flowers, doesn't necessarily have much pursuit than this Shenmei.

It's such a heartbreaking world.

A thud of hooves brought Yun Chenya back from her thoughts.The cloud-tailed wolf rested his paws on his hands, and looked out of the window with his head.A mule cart came up the street.The car approached and jumped off the girl.

The girl is very beautiful, she is dressed in lake-colored clothes, and a small cloth bag hanging down to her waist is slung over her shoulders, which adds a bit of cuteness to her.

This girl is Shu Tang Shu Rabbit.The wolf with a tail was dizzy, his pupils flickered, and his eyes curled up.

After pouring two cups of hot tea, there were three knocks on the door outside the house.The big-tailed wolf sat upright, invited the rabbit to enter the house, invited the rabbit to sit down, and discussed business with the rabbit in a serious manner.

The rabbit said: "Mr. Yun, what price do you want?" The tail wolf said: "What is the unit price of Shentang wine sold to Wangguilou?" The rabbit said: "It is five taels of silver and thirty copper plates." So the tail wolf said "Then I'll give seven taels of silver." The rabbit was startled.

After a while, the rabbit said again: "Mr. Yun, what is the number?" The tail wolf laughed: "How many jars of Shentang wine are sold to Wangguilou in a month?" The rabbit said: "It used to be 27, now it is 34." The tail wolf With a relaxed face: "Then give me fifty altars." The rabbit was shocked again.

Shu Tang hesitated and didn't know how to speak for a moment.Yun Chenya saw her expression of embarrassment, and said: "Fifty altars, if you think there are few, I can add more."

At this time, he has already forgotten the truth of "as a serious businessman, you must be mercenary and keep an eye on money".

Shu Tang hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Yun." After speaking, she lowered her voice again: "I think fifty altars are too much."

Yun Chenya was taken aback.

Shu Tang explained: "I brewed this Shentang wine together with a few guys. The manpower and raw materials are limited, so we can't brew so much at any one time."

Yun Chenya laughed happily, and he carried the pot and filled the two with water, "Then Miss Shu thinks as many jars are suitable, then sell me as many jars."

Shu Tang said: "This, I have to go back and figure it out."

Yun Chenya raised her eyes to look at her, then smiled faintly: "Don't worry."

Shu Tang felt that those eyes were also familiar.After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help saying: "Young Master Yun, thank you. I also knew a young master named Yun before, and he is as easy to talk to as you."

After saying this, Yun Chenya's hand holding the pot trembled slightly.There was a wind blowing outside the window, which brought some coolness, but the outside was still brightly illuminated by the spring sun.The cloud-tailed wolf was silent for a while, then suddenly turned to look at her, and asked, "This wine is called Shen Tang, what's the reason?"

Shu Tang was startled, and couldn't help lowering his head.When she was young, she murmured: "Young Master Yun, this question... can I not answer?"

Suddenly his heart tightened, Yun Chenya opened his mouth, and said: "You..." But he didn't say what he wanted to say, after a pause, he smiled lightly again: "Okay, no need Answer me."

Shu Tang still buried his head, as if a little embarrassed.After a moment of relief, she raised her head and asked, "Mr. Yun is from Daying, Shenzhou. Where is he from?"

Yun Chenya smiled and said, "I'm from Yongjing."

Shu Tang pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then she asked again: "Has Mr. Yun ever been to Yunzhou? It is Yunzhou in the south of the Yangtze River."

Yun Chenya was startled, her Adam's apple twitched, and she looked at her intently, unable to answer.

Shu Tang pretended that he hadn't reacted, and gestured hastily, saying, "Yunzhou is, that is, the state next to the Yunhe River. On the water, the boat with the black awning is low and rickety, and there are lights inside. Buy wine, you can sleep."

——"Actually, looking at it this way, the scenery here is like Yunzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. On the water, the black awning boat is low and rickety. There are lights inside, and you can sell wine and sleep."

—— "Yunzhou? Is it the hometown of Yunguan people?"

——"Yun Guanren, I will save money in the future, and if I have enough money, I will go to Yunzhou to see you."

That's what he used to say to her.It turned out that she had memorized word for word for the past two years.

He raised his head and took a sip of tea. It was obviously lukewarm water, but it seemed to scald his entire heart and lungs.There was a sudden dull pain in her chest, and the smile on Yun Chenya's face could hardly hold back: "Why... ask this?"

Shu Tang froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at the scene outside the window.After a while, she also smiled, with the clear water and lake light reflected in the depths of her clear eyes: "Young Master Yun, please tell me about Yunzhou. I have always wanted to visit, but I have never been able to..."
