Chapter Eighteen Rare is more expensive
After leaving Hutou Mountain with a box of medicinal materials, Gu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had been prepared to sacrifice his life at any time to protect Jiang Chen, after all, there were hundreds of bandits on the mountain, so it would be more dangerous if he really took action.
Thinking of the dangerous situation they spent together, Gu Jun suddenly asked: "Sir, I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask?"
"Don't call me Young Master, Brother Gu is older than me, just call me by my name."
Jiang Chen's kind attitude made Gu Jun admire him even more. After all, he was just a servant. If Jiang Chen hadn't been willing to give him a bite of food, he would still be a stinky beggar who was spurned by others.
But Jiang Chen didn't put on any airs. Instead, he took the initiative to break the heavy identity of master and servant and called himself Brother Gu, which directly brought the two of them closer.
When Gu Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but say with emotion: "Okay, if you are willing to condescend to call me Brother Gu, I am really honored. Then I will also dare to call you Brother Gu."
"However, in front of others, we still have a master-servant relationship. I cannot be arrogant and mess up the rules."
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, it's up to you. By the way, just now you said you have any questions you want to ask, please tell me."
So Gu Jun asked: "Brother Jiang, have you ever joined the army before?"
Jiang Chen's steps forward, hovered in mid-air for a moment, then fell down naturally. He did not expect that Gu Jun would suddenly ask himself such a question.
"Brother Gu, stop joking. I'm just a down-and-out scholar. How could I join the army? Do you see anything about me that looks like a soldier?"
Gu Jun naturally also knows the things about the Jiang family. If Jiang Chen had ever joined the army, it is impossible for no one to know about it.
But he just had a feeling that he saw in Jiang Chen the courage of a brave and fearless warrior. When facing those bandits who killed without blinking an eye, he had the courage to smile at the sky with his sword across his sword.
There is no mistake. How can ordinary people be so calm?
"Well, I'm overthinking it."
Gu Jun had doubts in his heart, but he still did not continue to ask.
He knew that no matter what, the answer to the question would not change his attitude towards Jiang Chen. This young man would have an unlimited future. Maybe one day he would leave this remote town and go to a wider world!
Then the two brought the medicinal materials to the brewing yard. Wu Qingshan was working hard with his helpers. Jars of brewed Jiang Yuebai were sealed and stacked in a large room that was specially cleaned for this purpose.
"Uncle, come and see, there are almost 300 jars of Jiang Yuebai here. With the current manpower and equipment, we can only brew about 500 jars every month. Isn't it too little?"
Wu Qingshan was only thinking about making money, but Jiang Chen was still unwilling to let go of mass production, which puzzled him.
"Okay, send these three hundred jars to Zuixian Tower in batches in the evening, and tell Lin Qingxuan that starting tomorrow, the wine will be available for public sale. As for the price, we will set a price of twenty taels of silver per jar, and each person can purchase up to five jars.
."
"Also, if we brew on this scale from now on, we don't need more people and equipment, because you have to know the truth, the easier it is to see something on the market, the less valuable it is."
Wu Qingshan nodded convincingly. After thinking about it in his mind, he suddenly became full of motivation.
You must know that Zhaojia Winery's Erdaochun only sells for 8 taels of silver per bottle, which is much more expensive than other wines on the market. Their Jiang Yuebai is priced at 20 taels of silver when it comes out, and the supply is still in short supply.
In this way, as long as he sells fifty altars of Jiang Yuebai, he will have the one thousand taels of silver he owes Scarface.
Jiang Chen sent Wu Qingshan and the others to quickly load the truck. These three hundred altars of Jiang Yuebai must be delivered to Zuixian Tower tonight.
Because when the news spreads that Jiang Yuebai can be sold early tomorrow morning, those wealthy businessmen and nobles who have been craning their necks to wait may break the threshold of Zuixian Tower.
At the same time, Jiang Chen called a few more masters with wine-making experience, and together they began to count out the box of medicinal materials, and discussed what they were talking to each other.
These brewing masters were all hired by Lin Qingxuan at a high price in order to help Jiang Chen. The price of hiring them was much more expensive than those helpers who did hard work.
Gu Jun couldn't understand what they were discussing, so he stood outside the door alone. As the sky gradually darkened, the first convoy carrying a hundred jars of Jiang Yuebai set off from the front of the courtyard.
Wu Qingshan waved his hand and said: "Brothers, please work harder. Once these wines are delivered to Zuixian Tower, let's count the money!"
As the motorcade left, the originally lively courtyard quickly became silent. Jiang Chen had said that this place was very important, and someone might come to deliberately cause trouble.
So Gu Jun always remained vigilant. After an hour, the third batch of Jiang Yuebai was successfully loaded into the truck and sent to Zuixian Tower.
At this moment, a shadowy figure appeared in Gu Jun's sight, seeming to be approaching sneakily. He immediately stepped forward and blocked the courtyard door.
"Who is this, looking into someone else's yard in the middle of the night?"
Through the moonlight, Gu Jun only knew that she was a petite woman, but he still did not relax his vigilance until the woman came close enough for him to see her face clearly.
"Ah? It's...ma'am!
Gu Jun's call made the other party startled, and both of them looked at each other awkwardly.
"Brother Gu, I'm not..."
The person who came was Wu Yue. She was holding a basket in her hand, and she didn't know what was in it.
Gu Jun also didn't expect that Wu Yue, a big girl, would stay up late at night and run here. He just blurted out the word "Madam" when he was at a loss.
"Oh, although you and Brother Jiang are not known as husband and wife yet, everyone among us knows that you are Mrs. Jiang, hahaha..."
Gu Jun reluctantly laughed a few times, trying to hide his panic, but he didn't expect that such a smile would make him feel even more embarrassed.
Wu Yue said shyly: "Brother Gu, stop teasing me, I haven't married Brother Chen yet!"
"Isn't that a matter of time?"
"Oh, I saw that the lights were not on in Brother Chen's house, and I guessed that he must still be busy making wine here, so I made some dumplings and sent them to everyone."
Gu Jun chuckled and said, "Oh, then go in quickly. It's windy outside, so don't catch a cold."
The girl next door is thin-skinned. After Wu Yue entered the house, everyone praised her fiercely, saying that she was really a good wife by Jiang Chen's side, which made her cheeks turn red, almost as red as a red apple.
