In this way, he finally rushed towards Huayin. After a few days, he finally arrived at Huayin City.
"Finally here!" Xiao Ziyu sighed with emotion.
"Should I go and become a disciple now?" Xiao Ziyu was a little undecided.
"No, let's do business first and make money! Martial arts training consumes a lot of money. We are poor in culture but rich in martial arts. Huashan is definitely not rich now. If you go up to become a disciple, you don't have much money to support your own training."
"Yes, let's make money first, and then go to apprenticeship. I also prepare the apprenticeship ceremony, which will make my husband reluctant to give up. This is double insurance."
Xiao Ziyu decided to do business in Huayin County first and make money later.
Fortunately, he still has several thousand taels of silver on hand and has capital. "What kind of business should I do?" Xiao Ziyu fell into thinking again.
On this day, Xiao Ziyu almost visited the entire Huayin County to see what business opportunities there were. Finally, Xiao Ziyu decided to start the 'wine' business.
The wine of this era did not yet have the distilled wine of later generations on Earth, so the alcohol content was very low, and the entire wine was very turbid, except for a few high-grade wines.
Ordinary wine, in Xiao Ziyu's eyes, is like horse urine. So he thought of opening a 'wine cellar' or even a restaurant.
Just do it.
First, Xiao Ziyu spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy a separate courtyard with four entrances and four exits as his temporary 'base'.
To be honest, the house prices in Huayin are really cheap. Xiao Ziyu feels that these few hundred taels are really a good deal. His other courtyard has about ten acres of land.
On Earth in future generations, it would definitely be a mansion.
After settling in his residence, Xiao Ziyu was ready to start the work of 'making wine'.
First, Xiao Ziyu wanted to find craftsmen to build some tools for distillation. This was not troublesome. Xiao Ziyu directly found the county magistrate of Huayin County and offered him dozens of taels of silver. The extremely wretched-looking magistrate,
That was just a pat on the chest, and he directly helped Xiao Ziyu do it.
There are still people in the government who can do things easily!
In just a few days, the county magistrate found more than a dozen craftsmen for Xiao Ziyu, and quickly helped Xiao Ziyu build this set of stills.
After that, Xiao Ziyu nestled in his "Xiangshan" courtyard and began to "wine wine." Of course, his "wine making" was not real wine making.
After all, he doesn't know how to 'make wine', and he doesn't have the tools. He just buys a lot of ordinary wine from several wine cellars, and then filters and distills them.
After working for more than ten consecutive days, Xiao Ziyu finally 'brewed' all the thousand kilograms of wine they bought.
Looking at the wine jar in front of him, this sparkling wine with almost no impurities was extremely fragrant. Xiao Ziyu knew that he had succeeded.
The wine he has now 're-brewed' is definitely the best wine in the world.
"No, this kind of wine cannot be sold directly like this. It should be lowered by one level." Xiao Ziyu murmured as he looked at the clear wine.
He still understands the principle of "it is a crime to cherish a jade". Now that he has no strength, he will definitely not be able to keep it.
Once it enters the market, it will definitely be coveted by others. Maybe his own life will be lost. This world of Xiaoao is very dark.
So, he walked out of the room directly and came to the front yard. When he saw an old man with white hair, he said to him: "Mr. Yang, go and tell Zhang Qing and Li Shu to buy me another five hundred kilograms."
Here comes the wine".
"Yes, sir," the white-haired old man said with a respectful head.
This white-haired old man was the housekeeper Xiao Ziyu found. He was originally a scholar when he was young. As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, he had to make a living by taking examinations.
But it turned out that after more than 20 years of examination, he was still a scholar, so the old man gave up. When he was more than 30 years old, he married a wife and had children.
But it was a pity that his wife, son and daughter all died, so he was left as an old man. Later, he met Xiao Ziyu. Xiao Ziyu saw that he was pitiful, and that he was honest and literate, so he took him back to Huayin and became his
housekeeper.
As for Zhang Qing and Li Shu, they are from Huayin, and more importantly, they are disciples of the Huashan Sect.
But don't get me wrong, they are just outer disciples of the Huashan Sect.
Coming to Huayin County at the foot of Huashan Mountain, Xiao Ziyu also understood that the Huashan Sect is actually divided into an inner sect and an outer sect.
The inner sect is like Linghu Chong, who has good qualifications and was directly accepted as a disciple by Yue Buqun. As for the outer sect disciples, they are all disciples of good families in Huayin County. Their elders were originally tenants of the Huashan sect.
They sent their children up the mountain, and the Huashan sect did not want to betray the 'good intentions' of these tenants. But those people had very poor qualifications. So they casually passed on some of their boxing and kick training skills, and after a few years, they were allowed to come down the mountain.
.
Over time, this formed the distinction between the outer door and the inner door.
Zhang Qing and Li Shu were disciples of the same generation as Yue Buqun. Unfortunately, Yue Buqun was from the inner sect, and they were only from the outer sect.
Xiao Ziyu felt that once his business grew bigger, some people would inevitably try to take advantage of him. So he made arrangements in advance and paid Zhang Qing and other Huashan outer disciples to serve as his bodyguards.
Of course, these outer disciples of the Huashan Sect are also very willing. After they "graduate" from the Huashan Sect, they do similar jobs, such as looking after homes and homes, acting as escorts, etc.
Moreover, Mr. Xiao Ziyu is very generous.
Besides, although they are outer disciples of the Huashan Sect, their martial arts skills are not very high. In Xiao Ziyu's eyes, they are just about the same as him. The most powerful one Xiao Ziyu has seen has only just opened up his Dantian, and he is considered a third-rate master in the world.
That’s all.
The two people received the order from Butler Yang. When they heard that their master wanted to buy another five hundred kilograms of wine, they immediately clicked their tongues in their hearts.
"Our young master is really rich. He bought one thousand catties half a month ago, and now he wants to buy five hundred catties, tsk tsk!"
Li Shu couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Okay, don't say more. We are just servants, completing tasks according to the master's instructions. This young master treats us well. I don't want to lose this job because you can't control your mouth."
Zhang Qing was a few years older than Li Shu and much more stable. He glanced at Li Shu and gave him a serious warning.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I know." Li Shu also knew what to say and what not to say.
It took the two of them a long time to finally bring Xiao Ziyu's 500 kilograms of wine back, this time costing him another 100 taels of silver.
When Xiao Ziyu saw that the wine he wanted had arrived, he ordered them to move the wine to a wine cellar in the backyard.
Then he rewarded Zhang Qing and Li Shu with a few taels of silver, which made them laugh with joy.
Xiao Ziyu left Hou, and Li Shu suddenly grinned and said, "The master is really generous. In just a few days, he has rewarded me with a total of ten taels of silver."
"Okay, don't laugh. Let's go to the mansion. The master hired us to look after his house." Zhang Qing weighed the money in his hand, and his gratitude to Xiao Ziyu increased a bit. He secretly decided that he must do it.
Protect Xiao Ziyu well.
Carrying a jar of ten kilograms of wine and entering his distillation room, Xiao Ziyu murmured: "It cost another one hundred taels. If I don't make money, I will have to beg for food."
When he came to Huayin County, he only had one thousand taels left of his several thousand taels of silver. In more than half a month, he spent no less than three thousand taels of silver. Of course, in addition to buying this
Other courtyards and other expenses are spent on taking care of the Huayin County mansion.
This 'county magistrate who destroys the family and the governor who destroys the family' is not just for fun.
Then Xiao Ziyu added some ordinary wine to the jar of distilled wine. The jar of wine slowly changed color and was no longer as clear as before.
This is the best. Xiao Ziyu tried to sell several varieties, so that they can be divided into different varieties. In the future, the prices can also be separated.
"Very good." Xiao Ziyu tasted each one and felt that even the one that had the most customers was much better than the ordinary wine he bought.
Moreover, the wine he distilled was much spicier and more fragrant than the purchased wine.
"That's it", it feels almost done, "it should be ready for sale".
This time, he only had less than 400 kilograms of distilled wine left, which originally weighed a thousand kilograms. It can be seen that after the distillation and filtration, a lot was lost.
But this time he squeezed another 500 kilograms of wine, and now he has a total of more than 800 kilograms of 'new products'.
"By the way, we should give him a name. What kind of name should we give him?" Xiao Ziyu fell into thinking.
