The store of Taikang Hall is not large, that is, it looks like it is about forty square meters.The setting of the store is very similar to that of a drugstore.Directly opposite the door is a long counter, and behind the counter is a display shelf.The display shelves are the same kind of medicine box racks used in the pharmacy.On each medicine box, the name and purpose of the medicinal liquor in the box are also indicated with a label.From the outside, you can't see the medicinal wine.Above the display shelf, there is a horizontal plaque, on which is written "Wanmin Kangtai" four regular characters.The font style is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, mellow and beautiful, and it is very visible at the bottom of the book.On the walls of the store, there are also pictures of ancient divine doctors such as Shennong, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and Ge Hong.Judging from the furnishings of the storefront, people who don't know the details really think that the medicinal wine is medicine and not wine.In fact, Taikang Tang also sells alcohol under the banner of selling medicine.If you don't do this, your majesty the emperor will be angry.Ma Zhou stared at the plaque above the display shelf for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "This seems to be Yu Shinan's words" "Mr.
Ma has good eyesight, this plaque is written by Master Yu himself." ”Qin Mo'er said."
Mo'er, you actually invited the scholar to write a plaque for our store" Zhao Yunze was also surprised.Yu Shinan is a person, Zhao Yunze still knows.This person is currently a bachelor of Hongwenkan and is a master of calligraphy.Li Shimin often copied his handwriting.Zhao Yunze once heard him say when he was chatting with Wei Zheng that once when he entered the palace, he happened to see Li Shimin writing.Li Shimin picked up a big character and asked Wei Zheng: "I have learned from Shinan, is it still approximate?"
Wei Zheng saw that the big character was the word "戬", and after looking at it, he replied: "The Ge character in this character has been charmed by Yu Bachelor." ”Who knew that Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "This Ge is written by Shinan himself." ”It turned out that Li Shimin was copying Yu Shinan's calligraphy, but when he wrote the word "Jian", he couldn't write "Ge" well.Yu Shinan was also one of the twenty-four heroes of the later Lingyan Pavilion.At this time, Yu Shinan and Zhao Yunze did not have any friendship, and Zhao Yunze really didn't expect that Qin Mo'er would be able to invite this great god to write an inscription.Qin Mo'er saw that Zhao Yunze was surprised, and said with a smile: "Where did the concubine invite the scholar to ask the scholar Yu to inscribe for our shop." ”"The Emperor, his old man still cares so much about our small shop," Zhao Yunze was even more surprised."
When our shop opened, the concubine once gave His Majesty ten jars of medicinal wine, and His Majesty gave most of them to the Emperor.The Emperor Taishang liked our medicinal wine very much, so he gave us a big favor. ”Qin Mo'er explained."
Your Majesty didn't say anything about us selling medicine and wine," Zhao Yunze became worried.Taikangtang sells liquor under the guise of selling medicine, and hides it from others, but it can't hide it from people who have drunk distilled liquor.Li Shimin is also a person who has tasted the taste of liquor.When Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo, and Wei Zheng investigated Zhao Yunze's impeachment, they forced Zhao Yunze to distill some liquor.Although some of those liquors were taken away by Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo, and Wei Zheng, Zhao Yunze did not forget about Li Shimin, a gluttonous ghost, and left some and sent them to the palace.After Li Shimin tasted the liquor, he once sighed: "I won't drink this kind of wine again before the Tang Dynasty is rich." ”Zhao Yunze asked Li Shimin the reason for this sigh at that time.Li Shimin said again: "I'm afraid of addiction, so I can't control my mouth." ”It can also be seen that although Li Shimin likes liquor, he doesn't want Zhao Yunze to make more liquor.Now, Qin Mo'er gave the medicinal wine to Li Shimin, and it is difficult to guarantee that Li Shimin will not be angry after seeing through Zhao Yunze's little trick.When Qin Mo'er saw Zhao Yunze's uneasy appearance, she immediately straightened her face, and said in the same way as Li Shimin: "Zhao Pengyu is bold, is it easy to be a bully?"
"Ah, Your Majesty is really angry" Zhao Yunze is so scared, so afraid.But as soon as he thought about it again, he immediately wondered: "No, if Your Majesty is really angry, then how can our medicine hotel be opened" Qin Mo'er sneered and said, "This is the care of the Emperor."
Although His Majesty was angry at the time, he also said that since we advertised that this medicinal wine has so many effects, and tried it after drinking the medicinal wine given by the concubine, if it is effective, let us continue to open the shop.Later, the concubine learned that His Majesty had given most of the medicinal wine to the Emperor. ”"Oh, it must be that the Emperor Taishang drank the medicinal wine and had an effect."
Zhao Yunze suddenly realized."
Maybe the Emperor Taishang liked the taste of this medicinal wine, and deliberately said to His Majesty that it has an effect," Qin Mo'er smiled playfully."
Well, there is also this possibility," Zhao Yunze echoed, "Anyway, it's good that we can sell this medicinal wine." ”Is the medicinal wine effectiveOf course, it can be said that those customers of Taikang Tang are all here for the efficacy of the medicinal wine, and this is not necessarily the case.Among them, there are probably many who buy them back to relieve their addiction to alcohol.Next, Qin Mo'er asked Shopkeeper Song to lead Zhao Yunze and Ma Zhou to visit the store, and she went to the backyard to rest.Taikang Hall, like the furniture factory, is the pattern of the front store and the back factory.The front sells medicinal liquor, and the back distills liquor to brew medicinal liquor.After Zhao Yunze and Ma Zhou visited Taikang Hall and tasted several medicinal wines with Ma Zhou, he was concerned about the income of the store."
Owner, it's been two months since our store opened.Business was bad in the first half of the month, but then it was very good.Nowadays, the medicinal liquor made every day is not enough to sell. ”Shopkeeper Song said to Zhao Yunze."
Then why don't you recruit a few more guys and sell more medicine and wine," Zhao Yunze wondered."
Alas, the owner also knows that baijiu is used to make medicinal wine, and baijiu is steamed from rice wine.Nowadays, there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and there are few workshops for brewing rice wine, so we can't buy too much rice wine," Shopkeeper Song sighed, "Moreover, although this medicinal wine is good, it has to be brewed for a long time before it can exert the effect of medicinal herbs."
Therefore, we can only run out of stock often. ”After listening to Shopkeeper Song's explanation, Zhao Yunze was also very helpless.If you don't have enough rice wine, you can't steam baijiu, and if you don't have baijiu, you can't make medicinal wine.This is a dead knot, unless the Tang Dynasty is no longer short of food, and the imperial court's control over winemaking is not so strict.Sure enough, as Cheng Yanjin said before, the country is not strong, and everything is stumbling, and the small people are also affected when they do some business."
Then how much money have we made in the past two months," Zhao Yunze asked the shopkeeper Song again.The shopkeeper Song said: "Since the opening, the store has sold more than 400 yuan of medicinal wine, excluding the expenses of the store and the opening preparations, and then removing the cost of materials and labor, there are still more than 280 yuan. ”"So much," Zhao Yunze and Ma Zhou exclaimed at the same time."
Hehe, this is still most of the medicinal wine sold in the store, and the opening cost accounts for the majority of the profits."
Shopkeeper Song said with a smile.Zhao Yunze grinned.I'll be obedient, if it goes on like this, just the money earned by this medicine hotel will be able to pay off the debts owed to Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong in a few months.The rest of the days, that's counting the money until the hand cramps.But Shopkeeper Song immediately poured cold water and said: "However, I am afraid that the profits in the future will not be so rich." ”"Why" Zhao Yunze didn't understand."
At the beginning of the opening, Mrs.
Jean purchased a large amount of rice wine and steamed a large amount of liquor hoarding.Today, the liquor is running out.In the future, if we re-steam liquor in our store, we can only buy rice wine now.But last month's flooding in Guanzhong, this year's food will inevitably be in short supply, I'm afraid there is not much rice wine" "Alas, it's this dead knot again" Zhao Yunze has no choice."
Then it can only reduce production, make less money, make less money, how much is more, wait for Datang to be rich, let's get rich again" "Brother Zhao's words are reasonable" Ma Zhou looked at Zhao Yunze with an appreciative face, "The country is a country, and only a country can have a home."
When the national strength is rich, all industries can prosper, and the people will be safe" "Brother Ma, don't talk about these big truths.I obviously have money but can't earn it in my hands, my heart is stuffed," Zhao Yunze said with a bitter face.Ma Zhou and Shopkeeper Song were speechless.This Lang Jun, the righteousness he said just now is awe-inspiring, and in a blink of an eye, he is full of market atmosphere."
Shopkeeper Song, bring me two jars of medium-priced and lowest-priced medicinal wine, and I'll give them away."
Zhao Yunze said to Shopkeeper Song again."
Who does Lang Jun want to give the medicinal wine to?"
asked Shopkeeper Song curiously."
Su Guo Gong Cheng Zhijie," Zhao Yunze replied through gritted teeth."
Brother Zhao, since it's a medicinal wine for Grandpa Cheng, why don't you send a better one" Ma Zhou couldn't understand Zhao Yunze's thoughts."
That old man, Grandpa Cheng likes to drink cheap medicinal wine."
Zhao Yunze just wanted to say that Cheng Biting Jin's old rascal didn't deliver good medicine and wine, but he immediately changed his words.Ma Zhou was even more confused.Your brother Zhao also just returned to Chang'an yesterday, but this Taikang Hall opened after you left Beijing, how did you know that Grandpa Cheng likes to drink cheap medicinal wine, "Lang Jun, although you are the owner of Taikang Hall, please ask Lang Jun to get the consent of his wife first about picking up the goods from the store." ”Shopkeeper Song said hesitantly."
Ah" Zhao Yunze was dumbfounded.I, the boss of the hall, don't even have the right to take away two jars of medicinal wine from the store" It's not that the old man is difficult to be a gentleman, but the lady has big rules, and without her permission, we can't move anything in this store. ”Shopkeeper Song said with a smile."
Okay, then I'll go and ask Madame."
Zhao Yunze softened.It's not okay to be soft, who let this store be founded by Qin Mo'er.So, Zhao Yunze got up and walked to the backyard.After walking a few steps, he turned around and smiled awkwardly at Ma Zhou: "Brother Ma, don't misunderstand, this is not that you are afraid of your daughter-in-law, but that you respect her."
Yes, it's to respect Mrs.""
Hehe, so-and-so understand.Brother Zhao, let's go," Ma Zhou said with a playful smile."
It's good if Brother Ma understands, it's good if you understand" Zhao Yunze just left the front hall, Ma Zhou and Shopkeeper Song glanced at each other, and the two laughed together
