Cheng Huailiang and others got very drunk and went back to their room to rest. Qin Yu stayed in the other courtyard and watched the two little girls working. Not long after, a servant came to call Qin Yu, but it was Cui Wen from Yongnian County with a thousand strings.

Come to apologize.

Cui Wen was bloated, at least 180 kilograms, but not even 1.6 meters tall. He was like a meat ball. The two spies he sent out finally returned. No, it was Cheng Hualiang, Cui Wen said nothing.

Without saying anything, he hurried over with the money, fearing that Cheng Huailiang would come and cause trouble for him.

It's a pity that Cheng Huailiang was drunk a long time ago. He didn't see him anywhere, but Qin Yu received him in the end.

To be honest, Cui Wen meant to give the money to Cheng Huailiang. In his opinion, his uncle was just his uncle, not as important as Cheng Huailiang. Of course, this uncle's status was much higher than him, and his attitude was very respectful.

Qin Yu accepted Qian Guan as a matter of course. If he didn't accept it, it meant that the matter had not passed. If he accepted it, it meant that the matter had passed. The two families could interact with each other as they wished. Although Cui Wen felt a little hurt, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

.

After a brief chat, Cui Wen formally signed a contract with Qin Yu, became Qin Yu's agent, left some deposit, and then returned to Yongnian County.

Time passed day by day. Ever since distilled liquor came out, Muramasa and the others were fine. But Cheng Huailiang would come once a day and take away a jar of five kilograms of wine. Qin Yu guessed that this guy might be looking for Muramasa and the others.

Drinking, after all, drinking by yourself is no fun, there are still many people and it’s lively.

Qin Yu did not hide the money Cui Wen apologized for, there was no need for it, Cheng Huailiang was very magnanimous and only took away 900 coins. What should I say, this should have been Qin Yu's, and Qin Yu was so angry that he wanted to kick him a few times.

A violent beating, but unfortunately, I can only think about it, but I can't beat it.

This busy work lasted three and a half days, and Xiao Tao and Xiao Hong were very tired, but it seemed that the two little girls enjoyed themselves very much.

Qin Yu and Muramasa were about to bring over his butler Wangcai, who was Xiaohong's father. The matter of selling wine naturally became Wangcai's intervention.

Qin Yu changed his original decision because Xiaohong approached Qin Yu privately and wanted his father to work for Qin Yu. It happened that Qin Yu still had concerns. Two little girls came out to sell wine. It was really not that good.

It's appropriate, just follow Xiaohong's wishes.

If you want to make money by selling wine, the best way is to sell it to merchants, and they will sell it to all parts of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way, Qin Yu has just arrived, there is no caravan of his own, so he can only do this, and Xiaohong's father

Responsible for this matter.

But for now, Qin Yu estimates that Yongnian County can digest this batch of wine without having to find those merchants. This can be regarded as whetting their appetite. When talking about money in the future, it will naturally be much easier.

It's not that Qin Yu has never thought of using the power of the Cheng Mansion, but the Cheng Mansion has a store in Chang'an, but there is no caravan. The money earned by the store plus the rewards from Li Shimin are enough for them, and it would be unreasonable to control another caravan.

It's easy to fall into someone else's trap.

Cheng Mansion is worried about these things, but the big families don't have such taboos. There are many people below to help them handle various affairs. Even if they are checked, it will be difficult to find them, so there is no need to bother.

The wine has been made, and Qin Yu plans to open a restaurant. The food in the Tang Dynasty is still a bit monotonous. Opening a restaurant can make a lot of money, but the time has not come yet and the dishes are not complete. What kind of restaurant can't be opened every day?

What kind of dishes?

After all, buying wine and distilling it is not a common thing, and it is easy for others to find out the secret, but there is nothing that can be done at the moment. Qin Yu wants to get money quickly so that he can go to Chang'an to get married.

Well, that's so stingy.

Moreover, Qin Yu also needs to buy a house, land, and servants. Otherwise, how can the dream of a small landowner be realized? This also requires money.

After much deliberation, there are a lot of things waiting for Qin Yu to do, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they need money.

After distilling the liquor, it was loaded onto trucks and shipped to Yongnian County. There were ten trucks when they arrived, and four trucks when they left. However, there were only three trucks of wine, and the other truck was filled with books and white paper. The time was too short and there was insufficient manpower.

, and can’t get too many books and blank papers.

Of course, this carriage and the horses were specially bought by Qin Yu. It was a carriage for hauling wine, otherwise how could he deliver the goods.

Picking up the goods at your door is not impossible, but you have to wait until the brick wall outside the workshop is erected.

The ones who paid the bill were those merchants. When they heard that Qin Yu took the initiative to deliver the goods, they rushed to pay the bill. They were afraid that if they paid less, they would get less goods. Qin Yu was stunned for a while before he figured out the reason.

Is rare the most valuable thing?

Qin Yu secretly enjoyed this for a long time. This mentality was really weird. In his previous life, he was afraid that he would give away too much, but here it was just the opposite.

There was still a jar of distilled liquor left, weighing over a thousand kilograms, otherwise Cheng Huailiang wouldn't bother Qin Yu every day.

Originally, Qin Yu estimated that it would take two or three days to sell out, mainly because there was wine. After all, Qin Yu had no intention of selling the wine to merchants, lest they give a low price. With the facts proved, it would be easier to negotiate then.

no.

But who could have imagined that in the afternoon, the convoy returned to Zhangjiacun. Qin Yu only found out after asking. After arriving in the county, Zhang Dashan sent books and white paper to the merchant, but the steward Wangcai ordered someone to open the wine jar.

, not long after, crowds of people came in droves, and the scene became a heated one.

Fortunately, Qin Yu asked Cheng Huailiang to bring his servants to help, and the situation was brought under control. After all, no one knew the housekeeper Wangcai, and there was no one with an identity in charge. What if some gangsters came to make trouble.

Wine in the Tang Dynasty was measured in terms of dendrobium, dou, liter, and sum. Naturally, it was not the kilograms or taels that Qin Yu was used to. One dose was 60 milliliters, and one liter was 600 milliliters, which was about more than one kilogram.

By analogy, Qin Yu set the price of wine at five hundred cents per liter, which is one or two and a half silver, equivalent to about one hundred yuan in RMB. Others sell it for dozens of cents, and the good ones are one or two hundred cents.

It's not unreasonable for the feathers to be so dark.

One is to make money. The distilled liquor now available is the first in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the previous life, it is on the same level as Moutai Wuliangye, so it should be more expensive. The other is because Qin Yu originally positioned these liquors in the high-end market.

, how can we not sell it more expensively?

Of course, Qin Yu is only prepared to pay a high price this time. After all, this is not a rare thing. It is not good to sell it so expensive all the time. It will not only damage the reputation, but also make it easy to be hated by others. If you can't afford the wine, don't hate whoever you hate.

Setting such a high price always made him feel a little frustrated, but when the convoy returned to the village, Qin Yu finally put his heart into his stomach. The purchase price was less than a thousand guan, but the sale directly exchanged it for more than 6,000 guan, plus

The total amount of money earned from selling books and paper was more than 7,000 guan.

With money, it became much easier to do things. Qin Yu went to Yongnian County the next day and bought three miles of land to the west of the twenty acres of Yongye Field allocated to him, all the way to the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Qin Yu's purchase of land was not without reason. The house and the fields in Chang'an were bought by the Cheng family. For Qin Yu, it was always unfair. He had to have his own share of the family business anyway. Isn't that right?

In order not to be too miserable when he arrived in Chang'an, Qin Yu began to buy a family property.

Because it was wasteland, there were no strict regulations on land sales in the Tang Dynasty, and the county magistrate already knew that Qin Yu was about to become Cheng's aunt, so he readily agreed. The price was extremely cheap, and the total cost was only 500 guan.

Buying a house is much cheaper.

The main reason is that the land there is troublesome to irrigate, otherwise it would not have been bought by Qin Yu, and it would have become someone else's property long ago. The land has to pay taxes, but the output there is confusing, so it has been idle.

It is not without reason that Qin Yu bought land so easily. During the excessive wars in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the population dropped sharply. There were many wastelands waiting to be reclaimed in the Tang Dynasty. How could there be any restrictions? Li Shimin wished that all the land could be planted with food. That way

If the people are at peace, his throne will be secure.

When Qin Yu saw that the land there was so cheap, he simply bought the part of Taihang Mountain that belonged to Yongnian County, which was a full ten miles around, and the price was only two thousand guan.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, this mountain forest has no use except wood and wild animals, and there is nothing to sell it. Besides, even though Taihang Mountain is an important place for military affairs, the Tang Dynasty did not make any regulations on this, so there is no need to offend Cheng Cheng

Qin Yu from Fu Guye.

The county magistrate didn't know that the mountains were rich in minerals, but Qin Yu knew that a large amount of coal, iron ore, clay, marble, stone mills, limestone, and even gold and copper minerals would make him really rich if he bought them.

I didn't expect it to be so easy, and I felt like I was taking advantage.

If the county magistrate knew that there were gold and copper mines here, he would never and would not dare to sell it to Qin Yu. Unfortunately, he didn't know.

Now this mountain forest has become Qin Yu's private property. According to the law, every plant, tree, and even animal in this mountain forest has become Qin Yu's property. If he goes in and is caught by Qin Yu, he can be beaten to death without any responsibility.

What responsibility.

It was not that no one bought mountains and forests in the Tang Dynasty, but those were all big and powerful families, and they were only used for hunting. Not many people were willing to make a fuss about it, even if they found iron ore, gold, silver, and copper.

The mines and things like that also belong to Li Shimin. Anyone who dares to mine privately will be killed.

Of course, the real purpose of some big families buying mountains and forests is most likely to secretly mine minerals. Qin Yu doesn't care about this. At least these minerals have not been discovered in Yongnian County, so naturally no one will buy them here.

Mountain forest.

After acquiring the land and forests, Qin Yu spent money to buy a large house with three entrances and three exits in Yongnian County. He spent 300 yuan, and with the help of the county magistrate, he bought more than 30 official slaves, all of whom were handsome.

girl.

It's not that Qin Yu has the idea of ​​becoming a horse king, and the beautiful girls are not pleasing to the eye. Besides, Qin Yu also helps these girls escape from the sea of ​​misery. Following Qin Yu, they will not endure hardship, otherwise their lives will probably be miserable.

As for the servants, Qin Yu also bought some. The maid will take care of the back house, and the heavy work in the front yard will naturally be taken care of by the servants. Qin Yu also bought some simple furniture and simply decorated the newly purchased house.

This busy work lasted only one day. Although Qin Yu didn't have to do anything, he still had to run around, which was quite tiring. However, Qin Yu finally had his own family business in the Tang Dynasty. Even if he went to Chang'an to get married, he still had something to worry about.

It's not like he has some confidence. Of course, this is all Qin Yu's little thought and is basically useless.

Qin Yu wanted to decorate the newly bought house, but finally gave up. He didn't know how much money it would cost to get married, and it cost a lot at once, so it was better to save some money.

The betrothal gifts were sweet potatoes and potatoes, but it would take time for people to realize their importance. Qin Yu had no choice at the time. Without money, Qin Yu naturally had to make preparations to at least save his face.

The next day, Cheng Huailiang drove a carriage with the only remaining jar of wine and rushed to Qin Yu's new house excitedly. Xiao Tao Xiaohong and Xiaohong's father were also accompanying him. Of course, Muramasa and Zhang Dashan also came together.

,Congratulations to Qin Yu on his move to a new house.

To Qin Yu's surprise, Xiao Tao Xiaohong secretly covered the distilling utensils with cloth and brought them back. Qin Yu praised the two little girls, and they were immediately excited.

The vegetable and meat condiments in Yongnian County are naturally much richer than those in the Muramasa family, so Qin Yu specially cooked and prepared a fairly sumptuous meal.

The gentleman was far away from the kitchen. When Qin Yu was cooking, everyone was startled. They all wanted to stop him. Even Cheng Huailiang, who had a warrior temperament, disagreed. However, Qin Yu insisted, saying that cooking was also a ritual among the six arts. No one even argued with him.

Qin Yu, in the end, Qin Yu cooked the food himself.

Although there were not enough ingredients and condiments, everyone was still attracted by the food cooked by Qin Yu. They bit their tongues many times while eating. The whole table of food was eaten clean. The one who ate the most was Cheng Hualiang. Not only was this guy

I can drink it, and I can eat it quite well.

In fact, Qin Yu also made a braised pork dish in the middle. Unexpectedly, Qin Yu spit out the braised pork after he tasted it. It had a strange smell. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that pigs had not been castrated in the Tang Dynasty.

Said, naturally, this pork has a strange smell.

It’s no wonder that pork was not favored by the rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty. Not only was it always rolling in the mud, but the meat also had a pungent smell, and even ordinary people would not be happy to eat it. Otherwise, why would there not be a single pig in Zhangjiacun?

Arrived.

The reason why there is pork for sale in Yongnian County is because the people need meat. Cows cannot be killed at will. Beef is hard to find. Even if you can find it, ordinary people cannot afford it. Mutton is expensive, and chickens, ducks, fish and geese are not cheap. I really want to

I eat meat and don’t have much money, so I have to buy pork to satisfy my craving.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, but Qin Yu, the cook, didn't take a few bites, but Qin Yu didn't care and could just make another portion later.

When I was in Zhangjiacun before, I didn’t have much materials and not enough time. I was extremely busy every day, and I had to seize the time to correct my homework at night. The desire to cook by myself naturally faded away.
Chapter completed!
