"Don't worry, Mr. Ning. Jin'er specially asked a Shibo who had worked in Qin Tian Prison to see it. He specially set a day for tomorrow afternoon when the rain will stop. He said that the rain will stop at midnight, and then in the next period of time "Either the sun doesn't come out, or when it comes out it will be as hot as death."
Shen Youchu smiled playfully.
When Ning Wuyan saw her smile, he felt infected and relaxed.
No wonder it rained for two days in a row, but Shen Youchu could still enjoy life leisurely and not worry about tomorrow at all.
It turned out that Qin Tianjian had been asked to predict the weather.
"Besides, even if the uncle of Qintian Prison is wrong in his calculations, if it rains tomorrow, it can be postponed to the day after tomorrow. If it rains the day after tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow. There will always be a sunny day. Mr. Ning, your business There will always be a day when it will be done, so what are you worried about?"
Shen Youchu leaned next to Ning Wuyan, holding the end of the oil-paper umbrella, and stood on tiptoe to share the same umbrella.
Ning Wuyan sniffed the warm fragrance emanating from her body, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, the huge stone in his heart suddenly shattered.
yes.
It doesn't matter if we were delayed for three days in vain.
Anyway, if Zhou An wants to kill him, it depends on whether he gives him a chance. The opportunity is created by him.
But everything depends on people, so he has nothing to worry about.
"What's for dinner?"
"You have the beggar's chicken that you like, Mr. Ning, and I just caught some loaches."
"I'm going to fry."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Youchu smiled even more happily.
Ning Wuyan did not hold up a new umbrella, but took the oil-paper umbrella from Shen Youchu's hand. The two walked leisurely in the rain towards Zhangjiazhuang.
After dinner, the dense rain gradually turned into a drizzle.
By midnight, it stopped.
And a gust of mountain wind blew by, sweeping the clouds southward, revealing the bright moonlight and the sky full of stars.
There were also those who worked the night shift in the workshop, and they all sighed when they saw such weather.
"This year is another year of good weather. There was a heavy rain when the rice was about to be harvested. After a few more days of sunshine, we can harvest a few more kilograms of grain from one acre of land."
"If there is no drought during the three-day period, one acre will gain one stone."
"This rain has gone away so quickly. I'm afraid there will be rare sunny days for ten and a half days."
Ning Wuhao, who was relieved by Shen Youchu, no longer cared about the weather.
However, he felt a little cool under the thin quilt in the first half of the night.
In the middle of the night, I kicked off the quilt without saying a word.
When the rooster crows, I want to take a nap, but the sweltering temperature makes me sweat and I can't sleep, so I just sit up.
It's bright outside, and although the sun hasn't risen yet, you can still feel it. Today's temperature should hit a new high this year.
"After a few days, it really is getting hotter day by day, even in Jiangnan."
And it was still very hot just after the rain.
Ning Wuhuang knew that eating ice in the morning would make him feel dizzy, but he felt so angry that it was difficult to digest, so he went to the kitchen to secretly drink a few sips of ice water.
In order to prevent sweating, I took advantage of the coolness to do a set of boxing and practice the sword technique with a stick of incense.
My whole body was drenched in sweat, and I felt like I drank ice water in vain.
After a workout, it’s not easy to drink ice.
He could only endure it.
Fortunately, you can't eat ice, but you can still enjoy the cooling sensation brought by placing ice cubes in the basin.
Then add a few drops of toilet water into it, put the ice basin next to the rocking chair under the shade of the tree, and read "Daxing Laws". It is really refreshing to have half a day's leisure.
"Every time I see Mr. Ning enjoying himself so much, I can't help but want to recommend you to become an official to Grandpa Huang. You go to light up the moon before dawn and go home until dark. I don't know if Mr. Ning can adapt to such an official life. ?”
Ning Wuyan rolled his eyes at Zhou Jingxian who was deliberately looking down on him, put his feet on the ground, closed the book with only a few unread pages left in his hand, and glanced at the scorching sun high in the sky.
"Princess Xian, who has always been a bit shy when it comes to dragons, didn't talk about business directly when she saw me, but instead teased me with nothing to do. Has the sun come out in the west today?"
These words made Zhou Jingxian's face heat up, as she never went to the Three Treasures Palace.
Fortunately, her words were not unfair, so she continued shamelessly: "The boss Zhao you recommended has a big appetite. He wants to buy all the first batch of 'Peace Wine' in Jinling."
"How many kilograms will the first batch cost?"
Ning Wuyou asked.
Zhou Jingxian raised a finger.
Ning Wuxu was about to guess, but thinking of some unpleasant experiences before, he kept his mouth shut and waited for her to reveal.
Zhou Jingxian originally thought he would take a guess, but after waiting for a while, he didn't answer, and she stopped trying to make excuses: "One thousand jars, ten thousand catties, a total of one hundred thousand taels of silver."
These amounts seem very small compared to the income of the perfume shop.
But this is only the first batch of wine distilled from the fifty sets of trial stills.
As long as the intensity is pure enough and the response is good, the second batch will be 10,000 jars.
"Is ten taels of silver a pound of strong liquor the selling price?"
"yes."
This price was determined by Zhou Jingxian based on the pricing of perfume.
The ordinary wine in Yujiu Winery, the worst quality wine, costs only one hundred fen per catty.
Earn half and half after deducting costs.
A pound of steamed wine actually only consumes five or six pounds of low-quality wine, but Zhou Jingxian felt that even if it was priced at one tael, it was still not something ordinary people could afford.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to just set the price higher to avoid being too high or too low, which may cause some ordinary people who are addicted to alcohol to tighten their belts and buy Ping'an wine for one tael of silver per catty.
It will even make those dignitaries who drink Ping'an wine feel that this wine is too low-grade.
Ning Wuyang had no objection to this pricing.
On the contrary, he also felt that Zhou Jingxian did a good job. In this way, the cost of the perfume would be inflated in the eyes of outsiders, and he would not be called a profiteer.
"The wine I bought for ten taels of silver is Ping'an Liquor. If I steam it less and get a discount, I can introduce some mid-to-high-end wines to sell and regularly replenish the market vacancies."
Ning Wuchang's approach was no less than teaching Zhou Jingxian to add water to the wine.
But alcohol has become an integral part of people's daily lives.
If we don’t create a product that is compatible with low-end and high-end products to act as a buffer, it will be easy for Ping An Wine to become a niche wine culture, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Mr. Ning's intention, I will report back to Grandpa Huang and ask Tong Supervisor to give it a try."
Zhou Jingxian's response seemed to agree with his opinion.
For this kind of person who can listen to other people's opinions, especially his own, Ning Wuyan doesn't mind saying a few more words.
"You can also try steaming some high-quality wine, and after distinguishing the concentration and taste, price it by category. For example, if the wine tastes good and has a high concentration, one or two wines can cost a hundred taels of silver. Not everyone can afford it."
"Another example is the custom-made wine that has a soft taste but a slightly higher concentration than ordinary wine, and is paired with fruit wine to create a variety of flavors. It only requires a few more steps, but if you increase the price ten times, someone will pay for it."
Listening to your words is more practical than counting money.
Zhou Jingxian was afraid that she had missed a word, so she hurriedly asked Yunfei to find paper and pen, and wrote down Ning Wuyan's words as if he were listening to an imperial edict.
She was not proficient at doing business at all. She only wanted to sell the steamed wine more expensively, but she did not expect that there were so many ways to sell wine.
She always felt that no matter whether people in this world liked to drink or not, as long as they followed Mr. Ning's words, they would always be able to make the other person spend some money and have a few drinks.
After Ning Wuyan finished talking about the methods he knew to sell drinks, he stopped with his mouth dry.
Seeing Zhou Jingxian staring down at the notes on the paper, he did not disturb her thoughts and let her slowly digest the business experience while she rocked the rocking chair and continued reading.
After a long time, the sun turned south, and Zhou Jingxian stepped ashore from the ocean of knowledge and asked her purpose: "Mr. Ning, do I want to sell all these 10,000 kilograms of wine to that boss Zhao?"
