The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 32
While these honorable sons were talking happily about Jia Min, there was also a group of people talking about Jia Min and Jia's house in Meiyue Building, another brothel next to Yuhua Building.

The topic naturally revolved around those bets.

This is a group of officials, or in other words, members of the civil official group corresponding to the honorable group in the officialdom.

Unlike the Xungui Group, which relied on the food of the ancestors to obtain today's prosperity and wealth, the civil official group basically took the road of imperial examinations.They passed the exams, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, fought all the way, and were selected layer by layer.

The former is fighting father, and the latter is personal struggle.

Present here today are six or seven people including Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry and Chen Hanlin from the Imperial Academy.Apart from the fact that Wu Shangshu and Chen Hanlin are Jinshi of the same discipline, these people also have one characteristic in common—they are all friends of former university scholar Ji Mingluan.Among them, Wu Shangshu and Ji Mingluan are also from Jinling.

In addition to sex with prostitutes, brothels in this era also had some singing, dancing, feasting and other items.From time to time, play the role of a human trafficker.

It can be regarded as a complex of modern nightclubs, bars, bathing cities, and footwashing rooms.

When officials and literati come here, not only do they not have to worry about being reported and exposed, but they are afraid that others will not know that they are here, and they often have to show off when they go back.

If you fall in love with a certain singing girl or prostitute, you can redeem her, or simply put her in the house, no one thinks there is anything abnormal, but it may become a good talk, which is enviable.

The news that Hu's Winery was about to release new wine naturally caught their attention.It's just that the factors that caught their attention were different from those of the honorable sons.

This factor is Notoju.

Yeduju is Ji Mingluan's house, but Ji Mingluan did not introduce Jia Min into Wu Shangshu's circle, so Jia Min is still basically a passerby to them.

The interest in Jia Min is only because of his background, some legendary experience, new business skills, relationship with Jia's house and other factors, basically on an anecdotal level.

However, just a month or so after coming to the imperial capital from the countryside, it has attracted the attention of these people, which can be regarded as an extremely fast speed.

Wu Shangshu's discussion with them finally had a result: wait until the day that "spicy to death" wine is on the market, I will also go to Hu's winery to have a look, buy a few catties and try it.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, Jia Min, the protagonist they were talking about, was in the room next to them.

Next to Jia Min was Boss Hu, and sitting next to him were some wealthy businessmen from 63 provinces in the south, seven and north, nine in total.

Although this is a place for Fengyue, they are not here to talk about Fengyue.

Businessmen, of course, are talking about business.Wealthy businessmen are naturally here to discuss big business.

"The conditions are basically these terms. Of course. You haven't seen what my wine looks like yet. When it's on the market, everyone will go to Hu's Winery. First, you can taste it on the spot. Second, you can take a look at my marketing method, which will be your future marketing model, and it will save you a lot of trouble than thinking about it behind closed doors."

In Jia Min's previous life, it was an era of extremely rich supplies.In that era, it was not difficult to produce something, the difficulty was who could sell it.

Therefore, a successful business model is the most important.

In this era, these two aspects are incomparable with his previous life.If this advantage is not fully utilized, Jia Min himself will not forgive himself.

When the point was over, Jia Min took his leave first and left, leaving a group of people muttering, both a little worried and full of anticipation.

Jia Min got on his horse and walked for a quarter of an hour until he arrived at Shuiyuan Street.In front of a low and dilapidated small house, I got off the horse.Knocked twice on the broken door that was almost ready to fall.

In this era, there are many people who can write well with calligraphy.However, there are still very few who can become famous calligraphers.

If you want to become a famous artist, you must first have luck, second, you must be famous, and third, you must have your own style of writing.

There are none of the three, and some are well written.If you want to make money by writing, you have to think of some heresy.

Calligraphy is one of the heretics.That is to say, people who make a living by imitating other people's handwriting.

Dim lights came on in the room, and soon, a skinny man in his fifties came out, looked around the door, and let Jia Min into the room.

The thin man bent down and took out a roll of rice paper from a pile of papers in the corner, unfolded it on the table, and Jia Min began to inspect it.

"Well, yes, it is almost possible to distinguish the real one from the real one. Where's the seal?"

The thin man opened a cabinet, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Jia Min.

Jia Min checked it and took out 3 yuan and [-] taels of silver.

"Deal. Goodbye."

Then go out, get on the horse and leave, turn left and turn right, and come to Yuelai Inn.

Today, he will live in the city.

Under the light, Jia Min checked the roll of rice paper and the seal again, and then turned on the light to sleep.

After dinner the next morning, Jia Min checked out and left, and came to Zhou's carpenter's shop.

"Fourth Master, are you here so early?"

Shopkeeper Zhou warmly greeted him.

"Well, are the boxes ready?"

"It's all done, and I'm waiting to send it to you."

"let me see."

Shopkeeper Zhou led Jia Min to the warehouse, and opened the sheet, revealing the wine boxes and packing boxes.

Jia Min randomly checked two of them and was satisfied with the quality.Click the number again.

"Now load the car and send it to me. If you don't have enough car, hire a car and send it to me at once. According to the agreement, you will get [-]% of the money first, and the remaining [-]% will be given to you in five days."

"Just listen to fourth master's orders."

After leaving the carpenter's shop, Jia Min left the city and came to Wanjia Kiln.In the same procedure, I chatted with Boss Wan, Boss Wan ordered the car to be loaded, and Jia Min returned to Yeduju.

Jia Min did not play any role in motivating his team.

In the past few days, Jiao Li and Heping'er are still in a low mood.Nan'er, Ning'er, Fenghua and Xueyue were not as excited as before.In everyone's heart, there is a feeling that they are going to break up.

The literacy and arithmetic training in the evening was not as active as before. It was only under Jia Min's urging that he bit the bullet and persisted.

However, Jia Min lived in the city last night, and it is estimated that these guys also secretly skipped class last night.

Sigh, what a rookie team, a few bets knocked you down, how will you survive the storm in the future?Still lack of tempering.

As far as this quality is concerned, if three days later, I am really worried about whether you can bear the joy of victory.

Although morale is low, there is one good thing.Jia Min did not neglect when he explained their work.It's all done step by step.

The secondary species of Ganoderma lucidum was still in the cultivation room. Jia Min went in and opened a jar. The mycelia had already begun to spread.This is a good sign that both sterilization and inoculation were successful.

Well drilling is still going on.However, due to too many things at home, Gioli has not gone.He handed over the matter to Lao Qin, the first laborer hired.Now, Lao Qin has become the foreman, temporarily presiding over the project.

There were 40 piglets, and Liu Tieshan's wife was hired to feed the pigs.Since distiller's grains are all concentrated feed, just feeding distiller's grains is not only wasteful, but also harmful to the stomach of pigs.Therefore, it is also necessary to add some roughage appropriately to increase the gastrointestinal peristalsis of pigs, promote digestion, and facilitate nutrient absorption.

Therefore, Liu Tiejiang's wife took on the task of hunting pigweeds.One tael of silver a month made her and Tiejiang Liu almost jump for joy.

This income was Ping'er's monthly rate in the mansion before, which was equivalent to the standard of a white-collar worker.

The wine pot that Jia Min made this time can feed 300 catties at a time. Each heating process takes about an hour, and the wine production process takes two hours. Therefore, a production cycle is three hours.

Continuous production, three pots can be produced a day.However, Jia Min only asked Jiao Li to produce two pots.A total of two thousand catties can be produced.

If too much is produced, it will be a bit embarrassing if it cannot be sold that day.

Jia Min uses the hunger marketing method.

Yesterday, Ping'er proposed to sell the already produced wine, but Jia Min refused.

It appeared on the market at this time, but it greatly affected the mystery of the official listing.

Ever since Jia She and the others left that day, the next day, the masters and housekeepers in the mansion who felt that they were a little dignified sent people to live in the wild.They played in the names of the masters.

All of them are clearly eating from the big pot, and they have the style of not taking advantage of the bastards.He said he was buying it, but he had no intention of paying at all.

In their eyes, even if they offered money, Jia Min would not dare to take it.

Naturally, Jia Min wasn't used to these stinking problems, even when Jia Zheng sent Li Shi'er, Jia Min scolded him.

If these wines were in their hands, the first reaction would be to show them off in all likelihood.This flowed into the market.

At the same time, Jia Min also wants to completely put an end to the habit of taking advantage of things for nothing in the mansion from now on.Otherwise, if there are other things in the future, if you come to get this one and ask for that one, why don't they make them poor?
Moreover, this is also a warning to outsiders.Even if my own family members don't give it to me, those outsiders who feel that they are dignified and ready to move will not easily dare to take the idea of ​​taking nothing for nothing.

Although they felt that Jia Min scolded those people happily, Ping'er and Jiao Li were really worried for Jia Min.

He thought to himself: Fourth Master has offended everyone in the house, if he loses the bet, he will really have no way of life.

However, seeing Jia Min's nonchalant and heartless appearance, he could only sigh.

This master really has a big heart, why did I fall for such a master?

Jia Min naturally knew the consequences of offending people, but if he gave them the wine, wouldn't he offend them?
The same is offended.If you get used to taking nothing for nothing, your appetite will grow bigger and bigger.These people, even if you chop yourself up and make stuffing for them, they feel that you should.

What's more, those subordinates are all used to pretending to be paid for their money. They took 10 catties of wine from you, and he dared to deduct 5 catties.

Instead of asking the subordinates to withhold it, it's better to send it to the mansion by yourself when the time comes.

That's what it means to lay the groundwork.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the car from Zhou's carpenter's shop and Wan's kiln arrived together.

The final preparations for the campaign began.
