Chapter 89 Wine Production
"How many bowls of wine can you sell here...how many bowls of wine can you sell every day?" Ju Zizhou was a little surprised: "Then do you have to use twenty or thirty kilograms of wine every day?"
A restaurant of such a small scale requires dozens of kilograms of wine, so what about the whole of Xianyang?
So many wine demands...who meets these needs...will people really be discovered when making wine?
"Not twenty or thirty kilograms, at most seven or eight kilograms." Jin smiled and was a little proud: "Brother Zhou, don't forget that the wine here is sold with water!"
Ju Zizhou pursed his lips, somewhat speechless.
Isn’t it really strange that the saying of DiShui is so reasonable?
"Then where did you buy the wine here?" Ju Zizhou asked after taking another sip.
"It was Mo who sent it." said Jin, "I am the area under his jurisdiction. There are huge demands in the past few days. Every morning when the sky is getting dark, he will send someone ten kilograms of wine, and he will make a statement with me at the end of the month."
"Will the officials not investigate?" Ju Zizhou asked curiously.
"Officialist?" Jin smiled: "Hey, officialist."
He smiled happily, and Ju Zizhou felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, large-scale winemaking is difficult to hide, and it is transported and distributed...
Ju Zizhou remembered another husband he met during an inspection before - Xian.
The guy who stood at the entrance of a remote alley to attract people to sell wine.
The name Mo... seems to have heard it once in his mouth!
"Brother Zhou, do you know who is the one who brought wine to my restaurant?" Jin was able to smile, and his eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.
Ju Zizhou's heart moved slightly: "Can't he be an official?"
Ji laughed: "My little brother Zhou is worthy of being a noble man, he will be right at first guess!"
Ju Zizhou's thoughts changed and continued to ask, "Are the officials sending them to you anywhere else?"
"Then I don't know, but it should be a lot of difference. Even if it is not, the official should know it." Jin said, taking a sip of wine, narrowing his eyes, and saying, "Although this matter is illegal, it is indeed a matter of making money... The official also wants to make money!"
I'm afraid it's not just the officials who want to make money.
Ju Zizhou thought for a while and asked, "If you want to say this, then the person who sells alcohol is probably a great nobleman."
"Who knows?" Jin shook his head and said that he didn't know: "Even if it's not the nobles who are in charge of this matter, there will definitely be nobles who will make a profit from it."
"It should be." Ju Zizhou nodded. At this moment, he had already reacted: if such large-scale illegal incidents are not in the background, it would be easy to detect with Qin's regulatory capabilities.
But this matter is still being done, and the interest chain has even been completed to the point of targeted deployment - this is enough to show the maturity of related industries.
If Qin did not even notice such a mature industry, then Qin would no longer have to think about attacking the six countries - the domestic supervision is so weak that it is probably already on the verge of destruction.
"So, this matter is considered to be acquiesced by the nobles." Ju Zizhou sighed.
Moreover, the administration should probably be purged thoroughly.
"No!" You suddenly spoke, "How could this be the acquisition of the nobles? This is a violation of the law!"
"And before drinking, you have to observe the surroundings and keep your door closed!" You were very puzzled: "Doesn't this just show that drinking is illegal?"
Jin took a sip of wine and said, "Little kid, you are still young and may not know that some things can only be done but not said; while some things can only be said and not done!"
Yo's face was full of confusion: "What does this mean?"
"Don't ask if you don't understand." Jin said.
Ju Zizhou thought for a while and continued to ask, "Are you still farming?"
"Me?" Jin shook his head: "I have the title of the Supreme Craft, and I have a lot of land in my family. I also have five 20-year-old slaves, so I don't have to farm on my own."
As he said that, he pointed to one of his incomplete ears and said, "See, I earned a title from this... I almost died!"
"Made the best!" Zhi looked at Jin with some envy.
"Don't think the title is so good!" Ji took a sip of wine: "In that battle back then, I was almost cut off my head!"
"Even if you don't have a master, it's great to have a man!" You couldn't help but say, "Didn't you only get hurt once?"
He pursed his lips and showed a speechless gesture: "My man inherited my father!"
"If you can go to the battlefield, don't go to the battlefield!" said Ji Yu earnestly: "If you go to the battlefield, your life will not be yours!"
"But..." Yo still wanted to argue.
At this time, Ji was no longer willing to persuade the young man who was interested in his brain. He waved his hand and said to Ju Zizhou: "Brother Zhou, please continue to ask."
"So you mainly rely on this small restaurant for a living now?" Ju Zizhou asked, "How much money can you save every year?"
Jin shook his head: "It's not just about making a living from restaurants, but mainly selling wine."
Ju Zizhou nodded: "So how many years have you been doing the business of selling wine in private?"
"It's been more than ten years." Jin frowned and thought: "Although there were private wines in the past, the quality and supply were not stable... On a winter day more than ten years ago, I remember that someone started to serve wine regularly to me, and they were extremely generous. At the beginning, I actually didn't believe them, but they still served wine according to the amount I said, collecting wine once a month, never more, and sometimes even actively eliminated the fraction. During the New Year, I often gave me a pot of good wine..."
"As such actions, one must be a noble person with high power." Ju Zizhou sighed.
Qin Law... Although it is the Qin Law, it has been a hundred and fifty years since Shang Jun’s rigorous and unforgiving reform.
The law is harsh and cannot stop human favors and interests from attacking.
"The income from selling wine is still good." Jin smiled: "I have regular customers here, and they only come to buy wine in the hot summer and winter. On weekdays... I sell twenty or thirty bowls a day like these days, but it is actually very rare."
"Overyone has no money." Ju Zizhou smiled and spoke out the reason.
Jin nodded: "Indeed, most people do not have much money in their hands."
Although there are many nobles in Xianyang City, the most are those gangsters without titles and slaves who do not even have their own personal ownership.
Slaves would not have money to buy wine. Most of the ordinary farmers who make a living by farming.
And these farmers just don’t have money.
So there are not many people who buy wine normally.
