Chapter 12 Prosperity

"The No. 1 Principal Red?" Wang Ou chewed the name and guessed something about Li Mu's meaning, but she did not say it, but waited for Li Mu to answer.

"Yes! The top scholar Hong!" Li Mu talked endlessly when he mentioned what he was familiar with. He poured another glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and rotated it. The red wine rippled in the glass, and said, "I originally didn't plan to tinker with this wine, but I have heard some rumors recently. Some people say that the wine in Bashang wine shop is vulgar and only relies on the strength of alcohol to attract some reckless men. Real literati and scholars are disdainful to drink... I thought, people said it makes sense, literati and scholars must drink something different. So I developed this new rice wine based on the rice wine. In order to match the interests of literati and scholars, I named it the top scholar Hong and suited his preferences."

Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai didn't hear anything. They didn't understand these things, but Wang Ou confirmed what she thought. She also heard about the "rumors" that Li Mu said. The original source of this news was the Imperial College.

Kong Yingda, the priest of the Imperial College, suffered a great loss at Li Mu's hands, and always said that he was sick and bedridden at home. The Imperial College felt deeply humiliated. But they were scholars, and although they were angry, they dared to speak out. The obvious could not come, but they could only come to the dark. Everyone knew that there were Li Mu members of Bashang wine shop, so they wanted to slander three cups and try to make everyone regard the wine produced in Bashang wine shop as a "rude" wine, which would best ruin the reputation of Bashang wine shop and completely cut off Li Mu's wealth.

But in Wang Ou's opinion, these are all children's actions and are completely unwilling to be paid attention to. After knowing that Li Mu was a man, she bought the wine from Bashang wine shop and tasted it. The wine is indeed a good wine. No matter how much these students slander it, it would probably be useless.

She didn't expect Li Mu to be serious, and she specially developed a new wine for this. Such behavior seems to be not mature. But it must be admitted that this new wine tastes much better than ordinary rice wine. Compared with the three cups on the Bashang, it is a bit soft and sweeter, and the unique red wine color, if it is sold on the market, it will definitely be popular.

Li Mu named the "Zhuangyuanhong", which was a masterpiece. The emperor issued an order a month ago, and the first imperial examination since he ascended the throne was held. In other words, after Sun Fujia, the first top scholar in the Wude period, the Tang Dynasty was about to appear in the Zhenguan period.

At this time, a kind of wine called "Zhuangyuanhong" appeared. How could students buy a jar and try it if they didn't go there?

"I don't know how much is the marquis planning to sell for this kind of wine?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Since this wine is called the top scholar, it is of course not cheap. It must be more expensive than the vulgar three cups. I think it is almost the same as a jar of ten konnies."

"Ten Guan?" This time, not only Wang Ou, Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai also understood. Li Mu actually wanted to sell the wine to a jar of Ten Guan. Is this selling wine? It's gold!

Wang Ou has been doing business for so many years, but has never seen anyone doing business like Li Mu. Worried that he would be frustrated, he kindly reminded: "Marty, those students are not all very rich. Even if they are children of aristocratic families, they may not be able to afford this jar of ten-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-old wine. If you set the price so high, the sales volume will probably affect it."

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is only one top scorer, and of course not everyone can drink wine. I am always at home in business. If someone who can spend so much money to buy this kind of wine, even if he can't become the real top scorer, I have to be the top scorer. If the price is higher, how can he show his status as the top scorer?" As he said, Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to sell it."

After hearing Li Mu say this, Wang Ou stopped persuading him. If he had changed someone, Wang Ou would definitely think that this person was extremely stupid, but the person who said this was Li Mu, which was another idea. Although she was not optimistic, she also vaguely felt that Li Mu could do it, because Li Mu had done many things that were impossible.

When talking about business, Li Mu remembered the matter of discussing with Bai Qiaoqiao a few days ago that he would open a shop. Although Li Mu was doing business, his business, whether it was a winery or a horse farm, was not a store management model, and he didn't know much about how to open a shop. Wang Ou is an expert among them. Li Mu heard Cheng Yaojin say that Wang Ou's business is very big, and there are shops in Chang'an and Luoyang, so it should be correct to ask her opinions.

"Sister Wang, Qiaoqiao discussed with me a few days ago that she was bored at home and wanted to open a shop. From what point of view, which location is suitable in Chang'an City now?"

When Wang Ou heard that Bai Qiaoqiao was going to open a shop, her brows frowned slightly. Her first thought in her heart was, can this work?

Judging from the times she had contacted Bai Qiaoqiao, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't seem to be able to do business. First of all, she was too happy and angry, and everything was reflected on her face. This is a taboo in doing business. Moreover, she did not have so many plans, she had no intention of harming others, and she had no intention of being wary of others. And if it was necessary, she had to do things that harmed others, and she could not be without her intention of being wary of others for a moment. She had been walking on thin ice all the way, so Bai Qiaoqiao... She didn't think it would be possible.

But when Li Mu asked, she couldn't say these words, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I wonder what business Sister Qiaoqiao plans to do?"

Li Mu looked at Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say anything. How could she think about these things? She thought Li Mu would have arranged it. Li Mu had no time to think about it these days, and she didn't have time to think about it. Wang Ou asked him for a long time and said, "I haven't thought about it... Is there a kind of business that is easier and less tired, and makes more money?"

Wang Ou was a little amused when she heard this. There was no such good thing in the world. It was easy and not tired, but it made money... After thinking about it, Wang Ou said tactfully: "If you want to say that it is easy and not tired, it is more profitable. Rouge and water powder is suitable, but this rouge and water powder is more important. Moreover, many of the secrets of the mixing methods are secrets of each company. Suddenly, it is difficult to enter the industry..." Speaking of this, Wang Ou changed the subject and said: "Actually, I think it is somewhat inappropriate for Qiaoqiao to do business. I am afraid it will be criticized. If Qiaoqiao cannot stay at home, it is better to manage the silk shop with me. Just get some part of it, and I will share half of the profit."

Li Mu quickly said, "My sister of the Wang family misunderstood. I now have a winery in front and a horse farm behind. No matter which one is worth making money every day, I can't spend all the money, so Qiaoqiao doesn't need to make money. I asked Qiaoqiao to open this shop mainly to relieve her boredom. She is a person who can't live at home, and I also think it's boring to stay all day, so I want to find something for her. As for the criticism, do you think I will care?"

Wang Ou smiled and said nothing. Although Li Mu's words were indeed true, Wang Ou is not a shortage of money. Her business is also a daily profit of money, and there is nothing to envy. Moreover, in her opinion, Li Mu's age, saying such words is not without any slightest element, and he is still a young person's character.

"Rouge and water powder..." Li Mu murmured, and suddenly remembered something. When I read the novel of time travel in my previous life, no matter what time travels to any dynasty, the protagonist would take out the necessary things to make his first pot of gold. Thinking of this thing, he became concerned in his mind and said, "Sister Wang, if there is something, like water, and a few drops on his body, it will emit a lasting fragrance of flowers... Can such a thing be sold?"

Wang Ou had never heard of such things, but she thought about it according to Li Mu's description and said, "If there is still a fragrance of flowers after winter, it will naturally be quite popular among women. But, is there such a thing?"

"It's coming soon." Li Mu said confidently: "Not now, but I can study it and try to do it. If it succeeds, we will have something to sell when we open a store, and it's still the only one."

Wang Ou really doesn't know where Li Mu's confidence comes from. Why does he think he can do something that doesn't exist at all? She looked at Bai Qiaoqiao beside Li Mu and found that there was no doubt in her eyes, which was even more puzzled. Could it be that Li Mu liked her because he believed Bai Qiaoqiao? Such a stupid reason?

After the meal, Wang Ou said goodbye. She still has a lot of things to do, and the purpose of coming today has been achieved, so it is meaningless to stay. Li Mu kept sending her to the door and asked her what flowers she liked. Wang Ou casually said a peony, but she didn't think he could really do it. Because there are no peony flowers in this season, only dried flowers, which are dried and kept for sachets during the flowering season. But if Li Mu wanted to sell sachets, the business would definitely not be able to be done. Chang'an, East and West Markets, I don't know how many dried flowers were saved, which is worthless. Moreover, among the people, they don't have the habit of buying sachets. They buy dried flowers and make sachets by themselves. If this thing is to be sold in a shop, no one will visit.

Wang Ou wanted to remind Li Mu several times, but he still didn't say it out in the end. Li Mu had a smooth journey, no failure, and it might be a good thing to suffer a small loss and have a better memory. Thinking of this, Wang Ou's mind was filled with regret after losing business. When she looked at him, she smiled even more.

Li Mu watched Wang Ou leave the carriage, but his heart was a little scared. Why did this elder sister have a "aunt smile" on her face? Although she is more than ten years older than herself, it's nothing to be kind, but from Wang Ou's appearance, it's a bit strange. The mother fans who like "little fresh meat" in their previous life all had this kind of smile. Li Mu was worried. Could it be that my "little fresh meat" temperament also traveled through time together?

Even though they all escaped to the Tang Dynasty, they still couldn't escape the obsession of young women. Life was really difficult!
