In the west of Xianyang City, in a wine shop.
After Qin's rapid development, it led to the improvement of local people's lives. The people had a lot to do in the city and had their own farmland. Because of the reduction in taxes, people have more money in their hands.
On weekdays, there are more and more people drinking in wine shops.
In the corner next to the wine shop, a rather sturdy middle-aged man was drinking.
He drank wine and ate meat, feasting happily. The middle-aged man listened to the discussions around him and heard people talking about the Lin family. He interrupted: "Speaking of the Lin family, I heard one thing. I guarantee that no one has heard of it."
"The gossip you mentioned about the Lin family has been told over and over again for a long time. It is nothing new."
"My news, that's the real news."
The middle-aged man put down his chopsticks and held his head high, looking quite proud.
brush!
In the wine shop, pairs of eyes looked over.
There are many people in the wine shop, at least thirty or forty people drinking here. After all, the wine is cheap. It is very comfortable to drink some wine and eat some meat.
The shopkeeper was very talkative and said with a smile: "This strong man, we all know the news in the Duke of Zhen Guo's family. Most of what everyone is talking about is that Duke Zhen Guo married a princess of our Qin State and then married a princess of Jin State. The princess is the best in the world."
The middle-aged man said: "That's the same old story. It's meaningless to repeat it over and over again."
The shopkeeper asked: "Tell me what's new?"
"Yeah, don't hide it, tell it."
"Don't let everyone know your news. If you do, you will be laughed at."
"Come and tell me, could it be that Duke Zhen Guo has married another princess? Although Duke Zhen Guo does not have many wives and concubines, he is talented in literature and martial arts. It is not surprising that such a man marries many women."
"Fart, does the Zhen Guo Guo take the initiative to marry a woman? I'm afraid the average woman would just like to get into the Zhen Guo Gong's bed, so it's not her turn to marry the Zhen Guo Gong. Alas, Zhen Guo Gong is the most powerful one. It's so comfortable."
"Brother, tell me quickly. I'm waiting for your news to drink."
People in the wine shops kept making noises.
Everyone was smiling. When it came to Lin Feng, there was a lot to talk about.
The shopkeeper said: "Don't be pretentious, everyone is waiting for you, tell me quickly."
The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and said, "My seventh aunt's eighth aunt's son works in the Duke's mansion. I heard that the Duke of Zhen brewed a medicinal wine called ginseng wine, which uses ginseng as the main ingredient. , adding many other medicinal materials, this is the secret recipe, we don’t know. In short, this ginseng wine tastes great, and it can strengthen the body, strengthen the body, and prolong life.”
The shopkeeper joked: "This ginseng wine of yours is just for strengthening the body, so what's the use? There's nothing strange about it."
The people around him also started cheering.
The middle-aged man continued: "Listen to me, I will tell you this news slowly. How can I finish it in one go? In addition to these effects, this ginseng wine can also nourish yin and yang, so that men can regain their virility. .”
"You know, let the man regain his glory and become even more powerful."
"This is amazing."
"I heard that Duke Zhen Guo brewed ginseng wine early in the morning and sent it to our Emperor first. After all, His Majesty the Emperor is old and needs to take care of his health. Then, Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Wang Tang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, got the emperor. As a reward, after having a little drink, we went to the Duke's Mansion to ask for it, and each of us got some ginseng wine before we left happily."
"I heard that Wang Shangshu and Zhang Shangshu were still in great glory after drinking."
"And, a lot of people were drinking."
The middle-aged man clicked his tongue and shook his head and said, "Ginseng wine is a good thing, but it's a pity that we don't have a chance. Oh, it's good to think about it."
Wow! !
In the wine shop, many people started talking.
Ginseng wine!
It can nourish yin and yang!
This is good stuff and can make money.
Men know it all.
Many people started talking about it, and some people even knew the gossip and started talking about it. Suddenly, more people were talking about ginseng wine, and even all over Xianyang City were talking about it, and ginseng wine became quietly popular.
Although ginseng wine has not yet been sold, privately, many businessmen have begun to inquire about it.
Everyone is thinking about it.
While these businessmen took action upon hearing the news, Bai Yuyao, who was in charge of the Lin family, remained extremely calm. She took advantage of this gap to buy another batch of ginseng. Together with the ginseng she had hoarded in the previous few months, he had hoarded a lot of goods.
When Bai Yuyao was sorting out the information, the housekeeper came in and bowed: "Madam, the news about ginseng wine in Xianyang City has been completely stirred up. Now everyone is talking about it, and ginseng wine has become popular even before it is sold."
"knew."
Bai Yuyao nodded.
She had already prepared for it, so she took the news relatively lightly and didn't find anything strange.
The housekeeper retired and when Bai Yuyao was about to go see Lin Feng, another attendant came in and reported: "Madam, a group of businessmen are visiting. There are many people here, about twenty or so, and they all want to see you."
"Please come to the hall."
Bai Yuyao gave the order directly.
What the businessman came to do, of course, was ginseng wine.
Businessmen pursue profits. Once they find an opportunity to take advantage of, the businessman will definitely come to visit.
Bai Yuyao tidied up and came to the hall. As soon as she appeared, all the merchants saluted with anticipation in their eyes. Amid everyone's expectations, Bai Yuyao sat down and asked, "Come together, what can you do?"
The leader stood up and said: "Shopkeeper Bai, we are here for the ginseng wine. Now that the ginseng wine has been made, can it be sold? We all hope to buy some."
The others all agreed.
Everyone was supportive.
They are all eager to buy ginseng wine and hope to be able to operate this wine.
Bai Yuyao raised his hand and pressed it down. Everyone calmed down and said slowly: "Everyone, I would like to give some explanations about ginseng wine. First, the Lin family's ginseng wine has a unique formula, using ginseng, astragalus, wolfberry, etc. The combination of many medicinal materials forms a unique formula.”
"This kind of medicine soaked in wine makes ginseng wine have unique effects. You can find out the specific effects on your own, I won't go into details."
"Secondly, ginseng wine will be sold, but not now, because ginseng wine is still settling. In particular, ginseng wine is expensive, and all of it is extremely expensive medicinal materials. Combined with the best West Wind Drunk, the price is naturally high."
"The final price needs to be re-evaluated before the price can be determined."
"Third, the sales of ginseng wine are limited because the volume is not large. At present, it will not be sold on a large scale. Even if a businessman wants to purchase it, it can only be purchased within a certain range. For example, one businessman can purchase it within a certain range. We only have a monthly quota of a few hundred kilograms, so we can’t purchase too much.”
"Fourth, once the Lin family's ginseng wine comes out, many people will imitate it and make their own ginseng wine. The Lin family can't stop it, nor can it control it. However, the ginseng wine on the market cannot use the Lin family's brand name."
"Once discovered, it will not only be as simple as sealing it, but also direct prosecution."
Bai Yuyao continued and talked about three more points, all about ginseng wine. After everything was said, Bai Yuyao said: "Everyone, the general situation of ginseng wine is like this. Of course you all come with sincerity, so here, I, the Lin family, invite you to have a drink and taste it. Come here. Man, give everyone here a glass of ginseng wine.”
The attendant immediately went to make arrangements. After a while, people filed in and handed over cups of ginseng wine.
The businessmen were holding it one by one, quite excited.
Bai Yuyao said: "You can taste it yourself, I will take the first step. The sale of Lin's ginseng wine will be announced to the public at that time."
According to Bai Yuyao's thoughts, she has prepared to sell ginseng wine. After discussing with Lin Feng, Lin Feng let Bai Yuyao hang it and not sell it to the outside world for the time being. Ginseng wine has already become famous. The more you whet your appetite, the more curious everyone becomes.
Moreover, ginseng wine has excellent medicinal effects. The first batch of ginseng wine that came out, even if two or two people drank it, it would still have great effects.
This is the intention of gifting some ginseng wine.
After Bai Yuyao left, more than 20 businessmen were present, looking at each other and having a drink.
The taste of ginseng wine is excellent.
After drinking, they all exchanged compliments and looked intoxicated. After drinking for a while, they all finished their drinks and were thinking about it. Moreover, these people did not leave for the time being, each talking quietly.
Everyone was talking and discussing the situation of ginseng wine.
More than two quarters of an hour later, one of the businessmen stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, the medicinal effect of ginseng wine is really fast. Please forgive me for taking a step first."
"Yes, yes, I will take the first step too."
"I'm leaving too, take my leave."
One by one, the businessmen stood up. These people looked eager, and their faces were even more joyful.
The medicinal effects of ginseng wine are well-deserved.
Each of the more than 20 businessmen had different ideas. The only thing they had in common was that they were determined to get the ginseng wine and had to buy it. Because such ginseng wine, even at a high price, will attract countless people.
Because of the departure of more than 20 people and the publicity, ginseng wine spread even more in Xianyang City.
Countless people were discussing the situation of ginseng wine.
Bai Yuyao was also happy inside. The more people talking about it, the better the ginseng wine business would be in the future. After finishing her work in the afternoon, she returned home and had dinner with Lin Feng and Xu Liuli in the evening.
After eating, the three of them took a walk in the backyard.
Xu Liuli talked about the Women's Martial Arts Academy. Now there are more than 20 women studying in the Martial Arts Academy.
These women study martial arts.
In addition, Xu Liuli also imparted knowledge on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Xu Liuli also enjoyed it. She didn't do it to make money, it was enough to have her own affairs.
Bai Yuyao said: "Husband, under our operation, ginseng wine has become extremely popular, and we just need the last step to sell it. It's just that we haven't determined the current pricing. We have discussed it several times, but we can't reach a unified opinion. "
Lin Feng said: "How much does a pound of ginseng wine cost you?"
Bai Yuyao said: "The current price is eight taels of silver per pound of wine."
"How many?"
Lin Feng asked again.
Bai Yuyao said: "Eight taels of silver, what's wrong? My husband also thinks it's too expensive. Is the price too high? I also think it's a bit expensive. The price I proposed is actually five taels of silver per pound of wine. But, the shopkeeper said This price is too low. Others also have different opinions. In short, with various opinions gathered, we have not reached a unified opinion for a while. "
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Yu Yao, you people are too cowardly. Eight taels of silver per pound of wine is too cheap. This kind of wine is just a slightly better wine. I will give you a price. Ginseng wine costs twenty taels of silver per pound of wine.”
ah! !
Bai Yuyao was shocked when she heard this.
Eight taels of silver per pound of wine, she thought, was a sky-high price, too expensive. But here at Lin Feng, the price has more than doubled, turning into twenty taels of silver per pound of wine. This is simply a money grab, and even treats people like fools.
Bai Yuyao murmured: "Husband, the price is too expensive, no one will buy it."
"You're wrong, there will be a lot of people buying it."
Lin Feng looked determined and said: "Who are we selling ginseng wine to? This is for rich people. Can ordinary people afford ginseng wine? Those who can't afford it can't. I’m willing to buy it.”
"For rich people, can money compare to their body? Can money compare to a man's ability to regain his former glory?"
"Money is just an external possession."
"So ginseng wine, no matter how expensive it is, is not too expensive. Even if you lower the price of ginseng wine too low, people will look down on it. This ginseng wine is about price, quality and status. "
"So, twenty taels of silver is not an exaggeration."
"In addition, after we sell it for a period of time, we will have to raise the price. The external publicity is that there is less ginseng and the price of raw materials has increased, so we have to raise the price. In short, the price of twenty taels of silver is not expensive, and it will be sold."
Bai Yuyao was also thinking after hearing this.
Twenty taels of silver and one pound of wine.
This is a sky-high price. Can it be sold?
She was still hesitant.
Seeing Bai Yuyao's hesitation, Lin Feng said: "Yuyao, whether ginseng wine is good or not depends not on the price, but on the needs of these people. For rich people, especially dignitaries, ginseng wine is irreplaceable. . So no matter how expensive it is, it can be sold. All you have to do is sell it in limited quantities, and that’s enough.”
"I listen to my husband."
After Bai Yuyao pondered for a while, he made a decision.
She believed in Lin Feng's judgment. From the beginning of business to now, Lin Feng's judgment was correct without exception.
Lin Feng nodded and said: "After a few days, you will sell it to others, and you will know when the time comes. Although the price is expensive, many people will not be happy. They will say they are not happy, but their bodies will be very honest. You will know after trying it."
Bai Yuyao said: "I understand."
The three of them chatted and continued walking. When the night got dark, they went back to the courtyard where they were resting.
