Chapter 57 The Way to Make Money
When he heard that he wanted to open the brewery himself, Xiao Wu suddenly expanded his pupils and opened his eyes wide, and had to say a key question.
"No one can make wine at all?"
"It is not a problem to know how to make wine. You can hire a master who knows how to make wine. As long as you are willing to spend money, there will always be someone who is willing to come."
Xiao Wu is not optimistic about the winemaking industry. There used to be more than one winery in Guangling County, but now only one in the south of the city is barely supported.
He then advised: "The weather has been bad in recent years, the food prices are inflated, and the business of the winery is not easy to do. Many of them cannot make money, and finally they closed down."
"Why don't you need sorghum? The sorghum outside the city only costs two or three hundred minus one stone." Liu Tianyu asked back.
When Xiao Wu heard the sorghum wine, a hint of indescribable expression appeared on his face and said, "I have drunk the sorghum wine before. The taste is too bad and too strong. It is like hitting the forehead with a wooden stick. This wine cannot be sold at a price. Only those who are bitter will buy it."
Xiao Wu heard that his big cabinet didn't understand winemaking at all, so he used his own example to persuade him.
"How could it be? I remember the second sorghum brewed..." At this point, Liu Tianyu suddenly stopped.
Suddenly I thought that Erguotou appeared in the Qing Dynasty. During this period of the Ming Dynasty, there was no so-called Erguotou at all.
The joy on his face flashed, and he couldn't help but slam the table with his hand and said excitedly: "Open the winery and use sorghum to make wine."
"Dao Cabinet, are you thinking about it? The wine made from sorghum is really unbearable." Xiao Wu didn't bother to call the boss and directly called out the big cabinet, hoping to persuade the opening of the winery.
"No need to persuade me, I decided to open a winery in the county town." Liu Tianyu stood up from his seat, walked around the desk, walked to Xiaowu, and patted him on the shoulder, "I must treat the winery as the most important thing in Guangji."
Seeing that the persuasion was not effective, Xiaowu nodded helplessly, "I will arrange for someone to find a brewing chef immediately, looking for a winery to be dumped."
"Well, hurry up and do it, you will understand in the future." Liu Tianyu was worried that Xiao Wu would be passive and lazy due to resistance, so he reminded him one more time.
Even without the subsequent reminder, Xiao Wu dared not be careless about opening a winery. The next day, he found two wine-making masters to come to Guangji.
The two brewers both looked dark and thick, and looked over fifty years old. In fact, one was only in his early forties and the other was younger, less than forty.
The old man named Lu Jiu, who was born in the family, later closed the door if he was not good at managing his business and focused on serving the little land left by his ancestors.
I have experienced many years of hard work and hard work, and my family can’t collect much food and the family has a large population, so I have to come out to find a job to supplement the household income.
The man who was less than forty years was named Wang Er, who had no serious name and was ranked second in the family, so he called this name.
He used to work in a winery, from an apprentice to a fireworks cut and cut materials. Later, the winery closed and could only find some casual work everywhere to make a living.
Lu Jiu has land at home, and he can't starve even if he doesn't come out to work. However, he can't eat well but eat enough, so he can only guarantee that he won't starve to death.
Wang Er is no longer comparable to him. Since he lost his work in the winery, he has been working outside to work. He often has hunger and full meals. When he heard Guangji's picking wine brewers, he immediately came to him.
"Master, the business of the winery has been difficult in the past two years. The annual growth is not good, the grain prices have become higher, and making wine is unprofitable. Many wineries have forced them to close the door."
Lu Jiu had worked in a winery after all and was very clear about the entire process, so he was worried that Guangji had too high requirements, so he couldn't do the work even if he wanted to do the winery work.
Liu Tianyu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I have planted a lot of sorghum outside the city, so the price should not be expensive, right?"
"Sorghum?" Wang Er was stunned and immediately said with a wry smile, "Master, sorghum is not expensive. That thing can be kept safe from drought and flood. Usually, it grows well on the ridges of farming or on the edges of abandoned ditches. Last year, only one stone is more than 200 yuan, but that thing can't be drunk after brewing wine."
Xiao Wu, who was standing beside him, spreading his palms, and the meaning seemed to be saying that he was not alone.
Lu Jiu, who was next to him, also said: "Wang Er is right. The wine made from sorghum tastes too bad and cannot be sold at a price. I heard that the Tartars on the grassland would buy some, but they couldn't count on it at all."
When I heard that I could sell it to the Tartars Liu Tianyu and Xiaowu, my eyes were lit.
Liu Tianyu asked with interest: "It's Tumote after Xinpingbao. We are not far away from here, so why can't we count on it?"
Lu Jiu looked up and looked at Liu Tianyu carefully. He found that the other party didn't seem to be fake, so he really didn't know.
After hesitating for a moment, he explained: "The Tumote Grassland is not far from our Guangling County, but there is a wolve in the middle from Guangling County to Tumote, so it is difficult to transport the wine directly."
After saying that, he looked around nervously.
Seeing Lu Jiu so scared like this, Liu Tianyu felt funny. The evil wolf could still compare with the bandits in Dianding Mountain.
"The evil wolf you are talking about is the horse bandit on the grassland?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "It would be great if it was a bandit. At worst, you can ask for more guards and escorts to ensure safety."
"Who is that?" Liu Tianyu was very curious, curious about who he was, and scared Lu Jiu, who had once opened a winery, into this way.
"Oh!" Lu Jiu sighed and then said, "Since you are planning to open a winery, you will sooner or later know this person. He said he is a wolf, but in fact he only has the name Lang, Wu Erlang, but this person is cruel and ruthless, and he monopolizes all the business of transporting wine from Xinpingbao to Tumote."
After hearing what he said, Liu Tianyu frowned, but unexpectedly there was a local tycoon who was sitting on the ground to share the profits of the wine.
He glanced at Wang Er, and found that Wang Er was confused in his eyes. He thought that he was just a worker in the winery before, and he knew nothing about other things, or that only the winery owner knew about it.
He believed that what Lu Jiu said was true. Such things can be found out with a little inquiry, so there is no need to make up a lie.
"Where did he get such great skills alone?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Liu Tianyu looked at Lu Jiu, and he was also very curious about the background of Wu Erlang.
It is impossible to do such a business that can make money without an extraordinary background.
Lu Jiu said: "I heard that it was the way of General Liao Shen of Datong, so I don't know what the specific relationship is."
"It's that General Liao again." Xiao Wu said hatefully.
Liu Tianyu raised his eyebrows and glared at Xiao Wu, which scared Xiao Wu to keep silent.
