Chapter 101 Red Star Erguotou
The first pot of wine is directly purified from the purchased wine.
When the first pot of soju was prepared, everyone tried to take a sip.
This is wine that Lin Huan and others have never experienced before.
After taking a sip, I felt as if what I drank was not wine, but fire. The fire ran along the throat to the depths of the soul, making people exclaim.
This is what men drink!
Since it has not been blended, the wine doesn't taste very good in Ma Qiang's opinion.
But for Lin Huan and others, it is already a peerless product.
Jian Yong only felt that Zhang Fei would regret it and cry to death if he knew it.
By the way, Jian Yong did not return to Zhuo County, but was stayed by Ma Qiang. Jian Yong also felt that he could learn things from Ma Qiang that he could not learn in ordinary studies, and there was nothing to do at home, so he followed Ma Qiang back to the Red Star Camp.
As for whether Liu Bei would leave if he received a letter from Liu Bei in the future, that is another matter.
In fact, up to now, the relationship between Xian Yufu and others and Ma Qiang is still an employment relationship rather than a relationship between monarch and minister.
The reason why they have always been willing to follow Ma Qiang is because they see Ma Qiang's potential and believe that Ma Qiang will definitely become a general in the future. On the other hand, they also feel that following Ma Qiang is really new every day.
Ma Qiang seems to always have something new to come up with. Every time you haven't finished marveling at this one, you have to marvel at another one.
But if Ma Qiang continues to be in this state of being a farm hand in the future, Ma Qiang cannot say whether he can retain these heroes of the Three Kingdoms who have made great changes in history.
The right to rule... Without the right to rule, it would be really difficult to recruit talents.
"Well... the taste is a bit off, so I can't sell it yet. I need to think more about it. Master Liang, this winery depends on you."
Liang Kang was one of the recruited refugees. After a competition, he was found to be the best at brewing liquor among all the refugees. He was directly appointed by Ma Qiang as the chief technician and workshop director of the shochu workshop.
For Ma Qiang, who has been engaged in scientific research all his life, he knows that the last thing he can do in scientific research is for laymen to guide experts. As for any technical personnel who have no management ability, Ma Qiang thinks it is nonsense.
Who is a natural management genius and others have no management ability? What you should do is to train him instead of replacing a person with so-called management ability to manage a scientific research institution.
Anyway, that's what Ma Qiang thinks. Back then, he was annoyed to death by people who only knew management and didn't know anything about scientific research. If all he could do was shout slogans, why would everyone be studying?
"Ma Lang is really a genius... This shochu will definitely sell well!"
"Fifth brother, don't you have a dark face now!" Guo Ping said jokingly.
Yang Wanli coughed to cover up his embarrassment, then nodded and said, "If we can produce this kind of wine in large quantities, the previous investment will be acceptable."
Such good wine will naturally not be cheap. Everyone knows that Ma Qiang will definitely set a price that ordinary people cannot afford.
Due to the rapid production of shochu, Ma Qiang originally planned to give Liu Hong one more gift.
——
"Brother Xianhe, I think you are the only one in the camp who is the most suitable for this. Are you willing to go through the hard work?"
The person chosen by Ma Qiang to go to Luoyang to bribe Liu Hong on behalf of the Red Star Battalion was Jian Yong.
Jian Yong was known throughout history for his eloquence and ability to dance. In a place like Luoyang, a group of people like the Red Star Camp who had not really accepted the complete aristocratic etiquette would only make jokes.
"Sir, Xianhe doesn't dare to postpone it because of your order. I just don't know what your request is for allowing the students to make this trip?"
Giving gifts is for doing things, especially giving gifts to the emperor and the ten permanent attendants.
Why give Shi Changshi...
If you don't give one to Shi Changshi, do you think your gift will reach Liu Hong?
"I'm asking for nothing. When you go to Luoyang this time, the first thing you need to do is send these things in a big way, so that everyone in Luoyang knows that the emperor likes our soap, toothpaste and wine! Especially this wine
, to boast that it is the only one in the world, in short, you are here to advertise our products!"
Ma Qiang's words stunned Jian Yong. Advertisement...What is it?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
"Besides, if His Majesty wants to grant me an official position, be sure to refuse it for me! I can't be an official yet... By the way, it would be best if you could give me an iron mine! I heard the one in Yuyang is pretty good.
"
Jian Yong's mouth twitched, why does Mr. Ma love money so much?
It is said that your speed of making money is already rare in the world, but it is not enough.
Of course it's not enough! The rations for thousands of sergeants are still not available! He earns more, but spends more. Every time Ma Qiang sees Yang Wanli, he feels that his face is getting darker and darker.
As for the iron ore in Niutiling, Yue Liang went there several times, but every time he ran into trouble and the other party refused to sell it at all.
Don't talk about twice the profit, the other party can just give some iron ingots to Ma Qiang. After all, Ma Qiang has contributed to the people of Youzhou by curing the plague, but if he wants to sell his ancestral property, there is no need to talk!
Ma Qiang was so angry that he wanted to curse. Do you know that your ancestors knew that you missed the industrial upgrade and had to jump out and beat you?
Now Ma Qiang can only ask people to go to the mountains to find iron ore.
I don’t believe it! There are no ownerless iron mines in this era!
Jian Yong was going to Luoyang to give gifts, so naturally he couldn't bring only one or two bottles of shochu. Ma Qiang could bring a thousand bottles with one stroke of his pen. These bottles were fired in the newly built porcelain kiln.
Materials such as kaolin were easily found, and the first batch of porcelain can be fired today.
The porcelain kiln was modified from the original pottery kiln, but some blowing equipment was added.
Thanks to this, Jian Yong finally no longer needed to bring a simple pottery vase to give gifts, but replaced it with an exquisite porcelain vase.
If the construction of the glass workshop had not been completed, there was no trace of the quartz stone, and Jian Yong really needed to leave immediately, Ma Qiang would have wanted to change to a glass bottle.
Drinks in this era were all turbid, so later on there was a saying that farmhouse wax wine was turbid. Only a clear glass bottle like Soju can show its special features.
Pity.
But the porcelain bottles are also good. These porcelain bottles were carefully designed by Ma Qiang. He even wrote poems about wine on the porcelain bottles, and even wrote the words Red Star Erguotou and Guanghe six years ago, just to become famous in Luoyang.
, and then sell it at a high price!
Ma Qiang firmly believes that in a few decades, each bottle of this batch of wine will be worth thousands of gold.
If you really buy it, you will make money. I hope Kaizi from Luoyang knows the goods.
——In Yang Wanli’s room
Yang Wanli put away the account books and yawned.
He was originally illiterate. In order to continue to fulfill his duties as the general manager, Yang Wanli spent less than half a month learning all the words he would use in daily life.
What does it mean that he uses it every day? To put it simply, he can now write the word "fat" in soap, but he can't write the word "thin"...
"Dad, get some rest early." Yang Chi came over to persuade him. Yang Wanli looked at him and suddenly sighed and said, "Did you go to find Qing Cheng just now?"
Yang Chi lowered his head.
"did you find it?"
"Well, Qingcheng and Qingning are helping Uncle Lin prepare the things he will take away tomorrow, so I'm back."
Yang Chi likes Lu Qingcheng. As a father, Yang Wanli can naturally see it, and he can even see where Lu Qingcheng is thinking.
"Now I can also hire a servant. You can find a job with Ma Lang tomorrow." Yang Wan said.
"Let the child serve his father." Yang Chi knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "The child knows that he is not as good as Ma Lang. He has already given up his mind. Please don't drive the child away."
"Don't cry! My son, Yang Wanli, cannot be worse than others. Brother Lin Hai is now helping your Uncle Lin prepare to go south. The boy from the Yue family is now leading people outside to find the iron ore that Ma Lang wants. The brothers from the Guo family are leading people to practice every day.
On and on, even the Lu sisters are helping Ma Lang as his assistant. You are also a man, how can you stay with me all the time?"
As he said that, Yang Wanli's voice became stern, "If you feel that I can't survive without you, don't come to see me again from tomorrow on. I'm not that useless yet!"
"No... the child is just..."
"That's it, it's settled. I'll go talk to Ma Lang tomorrow."
After that, Yang Wanli turned around and lay down. Yang Chi wiped his tears, covered Yang Wanli with a quilt, and fanned the wind carefully with a fan.
Yang Wanli turned his back to Yang Chi and opened his eyes.
