He'er looked at the spherical object drawn on the drawing, which was separated by circles of lines. He couldn't understand what it was, so he looked at it curiously without disturbing it.
After a while, Qin Huaidao finished the drawing and said with a smile: "This is called a grenade. It is made of iron and can kill the enemy. With it, ten thousand people can easily kill one hundred thousand people. Taking down the entire Turks with it is not a problem. This
It is a secret, and it is also our biggest trump card in the future, and it cannot be leaked."
"I understand, the young master is really powerful. No, I have to go back to feed my daughter." He'er said and left in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao looked at He'er's leaving figure with a warm smile on his face.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
After putting the drawings away, Qin Huaidao thought about Qinjiazhuang's property.
Once the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan nobles joined forces to cut off the supply, the department store was half empty, and there was little point in continuing to open it. Moreover, the industry needed to slowly move to Hanzhou. The barbecue bar business was as hot as ever. Although there were people imitating it, there were no musicians.
If there is no good music, the business will not be good.
People in this era have no awareness of intellectual property protection, but they want to save face and will never sing songs that are not their own, so many brothel girls pay high prices for talented people to write lyrics.
With the three places in Hanzhou, there will be no shortage of cattle and sheep in the future. It can be transformed into a hot pot city. The first floor has already been opened up as a supermarket. It can be retained. It is not a big problem to find people outside Chang'an to buy vegetables and other goods. The department store on the second floor
Evacuate all venues, build a hall, arrange for people to sing songs to entertain, and prepare more private rooms, and the business will not be bad.
You can cook barbecue and hotpot at the same time without conflict.
As for the goods in Qinjiazhuang, the Dongshi shop is still there and can continue to be used.
However, existing goods alone are not enough, and several products must be developed. The men's business includes liquor, and the students' business includes books and teaching aids. In this era, the business for children and the elderly is the most difficult to do, and the rest is for women.
The city of Chang'an is in no shortage of ladies, young ladies, and official wives. They have nothing to do all day long and have the strongest spending power. However, they can develop soaps, or even better, perfumes, and they will definitely make a lot of money.
Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he thought of this, he just did what he said and immediately asked someone to find Jia Youcai.
When Jia Youcai heard that the Shandong aristocratic family was secretly colluding with the Jiangnan gentry and was preparing to join forces to suppress it, he became angry on the spot. When he heard that the supermarket on the first floor of the mall was reserved, he instead used people from outside the city to supply supplies, and supported some people to grow the necessary items and purchase them at designated locations.
, to avoid being monopolized again, and think about it when changing the second floor into a hot pot.
After running a barbecue bar and shopping mall for a period of time, Jia Youcai's business management became more and more savvy.
After a while, Jia Youcai reminded: "Young Master, hot pot will definitely work. We have promoted it at the barbecue bar and it is very popular, but it is difficult to rely on this method for a long time, especially in the dog days of summer when no one eats hot pot."
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "It's hot in the summer, and there are indeed few people eating hot pot, but it's not impossible to solve it. We can introduce ways to reduce fire and reduce fire. I know many kinds of hot pot recipes. I'll teach you all later, and it will be no problem.
, and you can also make several kinds of hot pot seasonings to satisfy people with different tastes.”
"That's no problem. The more food types and choices you have, the more customers you'll have."
"The seasoning is a secret recipe. Arrange a few reliable people to come over and teach you how to make it these days. The Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry will probably get into trouble in the next few days. If we terminate the contract first, we have to compensate them. We will wait until they propose to withdraw before taking action. Take the
The original contract required them to compensate a sum of money. I remember that the original contract stipulated that the penalty for withdrawing before the expiry date was three times, right?" Qin Huaidao warned.
"Three times, you can't go wrong." Jia Youcai smiled knowingly.
"Also, the merchants who have withdrawn are not allowed to cooperate in the future, and we cannot sell any of our goods to them. I will slowly deal with them later after I have made preparations." Qin Huaidao said, his voice a little cold.
After chatting about the details for a while, Jia Youcai left in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao asked people to get sand, alkaline soil and chalk to prepare glass bottles.
Perfume is not suitable without glass bottles.
This is a cornucopia of huge profits than liquor. It must be done well and exquisitely, otherwise it cannot be sold at a high price. If you bundle it with mirrors, you will definitely make a profit.
Compared with the glass mirrors of this era, the bronze mirrors are simply scum!
Qin Huaidao first found an earthenware jar, cleaned the sand, removed impurities, poured the soil into the earthenware jar, and added alkali and chalk. Chalk is a kind of fine calcium carbonate sediment, which is amorphous limestone, and is used to make chalk.
Lime and porcelain are the best. Qinjiazhuang produces a lot of cement when it is burned, so it comes in handy.
Then put the pottery pot in the stove and heat it until the three materials are heated and fuse together to form a very hot, liquid, water-like glass. Then put the water in the mold to cool, and the glass becomes
Already.
Qin Huaidao picked up the glass and took a closer look. There were many bubbles and the transparency was far from enough. This may be related to insufficient temperature and impurities being removed. The process needs to be improved, but it is much better than a bronze mirror.
Next, Qin Huaidao kept experimenting, using different materials to make different molds, casting different glass styles, and gradually learned some tricks.
"Qin Lang, it's time to eat." A sweet voice came from outside.
Qin Huaidao walked out and saw that it was already dusk. Li Xueyan's back was facing the setting sun. His whole person seemed to be glowing, holy, quiet, and elegant. The sweet smile on his face was even more heartwarming and heart-warming. He couldn't help but want to
He held him in his arms and showed great pity.
The two of them walked side by side, and the setting sun stretched the shadows so long that they were so entangled that it was difficult to tell us apart.
When they returned to the restaurant, He'er was arranging the tableware, and the maid Xiaoyu was helping to take care of her daughter. Her movements were gentle, her voice was gentle, and she looked very attentive. This scene made Qin Huaidao's impression of Xiaoyu much better.
He sat down and asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"
"Go and ask someone to invite you." He'er said quickly.
Just as he was talking, Xue Rengui's wife Liu came over, holding a child in her arms. The child had a big head and a big head, but his eyes were particularly bright. He was almost one year old and began to become curious about external things. He was not afraid when he saw Qin Huaidao, but looked at him curiously.
What was he saying in his mouth?
"Sister-in-law, what is he talking about?" He'er asked curiously.
"I'm saying hello," Ms. Liu said with a smile.
Baby talk can only be understood by mothers who have taken care of their children for a long time. Qin Huaidao looked at the child and asked: "Sister-in-law, have you given the child a name?"
"I got up. I got up when Xue Lang left. My name is Xue Na, and my courtesy name is Shenyan."
One glance at this name made it clear what Xue Rengui meant. Qin Huaidao felt bad and said: "A man should stand upright, do what ordinary people cannot do, say what ordinary people cannot say, be flamboyant, not arrogant, arrogant, not proud, what is there to be cautious about?"
To be honest, Brother Xue is still too cautious."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I think so too. However, Xue Lang is the head of the family, and whatever he says is what he says. How can I, a woman, understand this?"
"Sit down and chat slowly."
Qin Huaidao made an invitation, and after Mrs. Liu sat down, he continued: "Sister-in-law, the caravan going to Hanzhou is expected to return in half a month. At that time, you can go to Hanzhou with the caravan, and take the children with you. Brother Xue is one
You and I don’t feel at ease when we have no one to take care of us outside. Also, when we get there, ask Brother Xue if the two families can get married."
There is no such thing as free love in this era. It will be considered frivolous, frivolous, dissolute, lack of tutoring, etc., which will damage your reputation. It is all the orders of your parents and the words of a matchmaker.
Qin Huaidao knew very well that as his status increased, his children's marriages had to be more cautious.
Everyone was startled when they heard these words and looked at Qin Huaidao.
He'er knew very well how much Qin Huaidao valued Xue Rengui. He also knew that Xue Rengui was a great talent and was now the commander of an army. He was deeply trusted. By marrying such a person, his daughter would not have to worry about her future life. Her eyes were filled with gratitude.
Very satisfied with this arrangement.
Li Xueyan's heart skipped a beat, but then she thought about it, as she was his son, how could he lose money in the future? However, he had to have a good relationship with He'er in the future.
Mrs. Liu was not stupid either. She felt Qin Huaidao's attention and trust. She felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Thank you young master for your love. My Xue Lang was just a hunter at the beginning. If the young master hadn't cultivated him and brought him out of his hometown, he would have died in the Wang family."
Without my own hands, I wouldn’t be as rich and famous as I am today. It’s all up to the young master to make the decision.”
"It can't be like this. Brother Xue and I are brothers of life and death, not superiors and subordinates. How can we use status to pressure others? It's all voluntary. If Brother Xue feels that marriage should respect the wishes of the children and let the children choose the person they like, that's okay.
, However, I think the child is very good. Even if we can't get married, I still hope to have an adopted son." Qin Huaidao smiled and said, in history, Xue Na became General Zuo Yulin, in charge of the security of the capital, and was granted the title of Pingyang County Duke. In the end, he could
Retiring from old age, returning to his hometown, and retiring unscathed shows that he is a talented person with strong abilities and extraordinary emotional intelligence.
It’s not a loss for my daughter to marry such a talented person!
Mrs. Liu was overjoyed to have the capable King of Han as her father and rise to the top in one step. However, she did not express her position immediately. She solemnly said: "Thank you very much, young master. I will give you a detailed report when I see Xue Lang and reply as soon as possible."
"Well, let's eat." Qin Huaidao smiled and gave He'er a look. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, the old father was also worried.
He'er was thoughtful, nodded knowingly, and looked at Ms. Liu with a smile on her face.
Li Xueyan knew that Qin Huaidao valued Xue Rengui, but he did not expect that he would value Xue Rengui so much. He secretly made a note of it and decided to fly pigeon to inform his brother who was far away in Qiemo City soon so that they could make good friends.
