Ever since Ye An returned to Shangqing Palace from the Wang family, he has lived a very comfortable life, riding around in the Shangqing Palace's ox cart every day in Tokyo.
The food here is something that a foodie like him cannot miss, especially when there are two gluttons following him around, so they often eat all the time.
The slow speed of the oxcart naturally has the advantage of being slow. There are few bumps on the flat road. Meat cakes from Grandma Cao's family, tea from Li Si's family, and plum blossom buns from Wanglou Mountain Cave cost seventy-two cents.
Silver bottles of wine, eighty-one cents worth of lamb wine, and more than ten cents a pack of raw waterlogged papayas, melons, and licorice ice and snow cold water and lychee paste in a set of bowls!
Ye An and Xuan'er were eating and drinking on the bullock cart, while Tieniu was gnawing on a huge roasted leg of lamb while driving the cart.
The passers-by around them knew at a glance that this must be a wealthy family from another state! How could even the servants be so bold as to chew the leg of mutton and drive the cart?
Gang Wang consciously sat on the shaft of the car and helped Ye An deal with all kinds of garbage. He had to pass the empty wine cups to the guys following the car and return the clay pots to the street vendors.
When Ye An couldn't eat any more, he smiled bitterly and said, "Young gentleman, we are so lavish that we can spend more than five hundred coins in half a day. A young master from a wealthy family can only make enough money in a day."
The expenses are not so extravagant! If we go to Goulanwashe in the evening, it won’t be enough!"
Ye An patted his belly, chuckled and said, "Just feel comfortable. I won't go to those places for the night. Today's inspection is over. Let's go back!"
Seeing that Ye An finally planned to go back, Wang Bang immediately smiled and said: "That's very good. How did the little man's test... go?"
"Of course it's very good. I'm not eating for nothing. Today Tieniu and Xuan'er are going to talk about the quality of the food and the taste when they go back today. Master, I will make a list and you must answer it carefully."
Hiccups... Tieniu and Xuan'er burped and looked at Ye An in confusion. They just ate without knowing how to eat. Why did they have to answer the questions?
In Ye An's plan, not only the two of them had to answer questions, Xuan Chengzi, Wang Yuan, and Wang Hao also had to answer questions, but the content of the answers was different between the two parties.
Ye An returned to the Shangqing Palace and gave a long list of questions to the Wang Gang, asking him to serve as his assistant to ask Tieniu and Xuan'er, while he hid in the small kitchen to prepare materials.
Today we are not only eating and drinking in the city of Tokyo, we are also "buying, buying, buying". In this city with salty connections from all over the world, you can buy almost all kinds of food from all over the country.
And the purchase is very convenient. You don't need to worry about any credit issues. As long as you negotiate with the store and pay the money, the store will deliver any goods you need to the designated location.
This is how the Wang Gang bought what Ye An needed, and he paid cash on the spot without worrying that the store would turn against him.
Ye An was dumbfounded by this trading model that relied on strong credit, because in the past half day, he only saw the Wang Gang constantly paying money to buy the things he needed, but not one of them moved them onto the bullock cart.
But when he returned to Shangqing Palace, he found that all the things he asked to buy had been taken back and piled up in the courtyard of the East Kitchen.
Ye An was speechless with this kind of business model. It was really hard for him to imagine what would happen in future generations if this kind of business model that did not involve clearing both money and goods.
At the same time, he was once again shocked by the credit system of this era. Honesty and trustworthiness do not need to be emphasized at all, because this thing is the foundation of a person's life.
In the words of the Wang Gang, if you break your trust once, half of the customers will switch to another store the second time. If you break your trust twice, most of the customers will switch stores. If you break your trust three times, then this will happen three times.
The business of my store is completely over. Even if I never break my trust, no one will buy anything from him.
Ye Anshen believed that such a civil contract was very good, even stronger than the law. Breaking a promise was the greatest harm to a businessman, so most old stores would rather lose money than breach the contract. This is why most old stores would rather lose money.
Looking at these things in front of him, Ye An took a deep breath. Before the industry is spread out, careful research is needed. Now he no longer cares about studying in the palace, nor does he care about his title. Those things are all created by him through external forces.
acquired.
He wants to use what he has in his head and his own abilities to settle down in Tokyo and survive in such a prosperous city...
"Lying to win" is of course a comfortable thing, but as a modern man, Ye An has his own pride. He stands on the shoulders of his ancestors who have built it for thousands of years. If he still has to rely on gifts from potatoes and sweet potatoes to obtain a generous income
If you live in such a way, you will look down on yourself.
Let others see that apart from the rewards from the Emperor and Queen Mother, I can still live a good life.
The fundamental meaning of human life in this world is to realize value!
Wang Hao's thousand gu was Ye An's start-up capital. Brewing wine was a good idea. He would use distilled wine to beat other water wines on the market almost without thinking.
But the taste of the same wine is also a very important consideration. If you can replicate distilled wine in Wangjiazhuang, you can also do it in Shangqing Palace.
The Wang Gang had already begun to ask Tieniu and Xuan'er the questions they listed, and at the same time, Ye An also started building distillation equipment.
There was no stainless steel in this era, so it was destined to be replaced by wooden utensils. Distilled liquor is a seemingly simple but very complex brewing method.
It is not a problem at all in future generations, but it is quite troublesome for Ye An now. Sealing and filtration must be solved.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about carpentry skills in this era. A wooden condensation tower actually fit perfectly. Ye An searched for a long time and couldn't see the gap there.
After Wang Gang came back, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, little man. Li Tiebao's craftsmanship has told me that if water leaks, we can carry this thing over and stuff it into his mouth! Little man, you can make it with a lot of money."
This thing is really not worth it!”
Ye An waved his hand: "As long as it doesn't leak, this thing is worth a lot of money! Have Tieniu and Xuan'er already given the answer?"
The Wang Gang wondered: "Of course they are given to me, but what does the young man want with these?"
Ye An touched his chin and said with a smile: "The mountain man has his own clever plan. Tomorrow you buy a lot of these food, enough to feed all of us in the Shangqing Palace. At the same time, you go and ask the young master these questions about me.
After that, I will send another copy to Mr. Wang’s house in Nan Lecture Hall Lane and Wang Xue’s family in Jieshen Lane. Young Master, I will personally come to inquire about it!”
The Wang gang stared at Ye An in surprise: "Xiao Langjun, this will cost at least ten guan. If the price rises, even ten guan will not be able to buy it!"
Ye An nodded: "Ten dollars, yes! It's worth spending! You don't know, the answers we have in our hands are far more than ten dollars! Just do as I say!"
Although Wang Bang didn't know how valuable the thing in his hand was, which was no different from the waste paper, he still followed Ye An's words, not only because of Ye An's identity, but also because he had always been very calculating.
