Chapter 264: Dark Arrow

The carriage stopped at the main workshop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhao Siniang got out of the carriage and looked up at the Zhang family's magnificent mansion door. The white wall and the red door, there are two large stone lions on the side of the door.

"Bachelor's Degree"

The plaque on the gate of Zhang's house has just been replaced, it was originally Zhang's mansion, and now it has been replaced by a bachelor's degree. Although Zhang Chao still has various official positions such as the son of Wu'an County, the prince washing horses, the deputy owner of Chongwen Pavilion, and the prince of Taiyuan, Zhang Chao deliberately chose this bachelor to hang on the door.

In Zhang Chao's words, it is estimated that there are hundreds of various national dukes and county dukes in Chang'an City, and the other Hou Bozi men add up to at least a few thousand, anyway, the title of Datang is really worthless. Even if Zhang Chao's title is fifty food seals, it can be regarded as having a relatively high gold content.

But no matter how high the gold content is, it's just a viscount, and you can still show off in the countryside of Bashang. When I arrived in Chang'an City, I was really embarrassed to take it out.

The prince washes the horse, well, it's not good, Zhang Chao always thinks that this is an official who washes horses.

It's still a bachelor, there are many official names that are compelling, but it's a pity that there is a big word missing. Otherwise, hang a university scholar, that will be awesome and shiny.

"Siniang, Zhang's mansion is so magnificent, ten times more beautiful than Zhangjiagou's house." Zhao Siniang's maid looked up at the gate of the Zhang family, and said with envy.

"Zhang Sanlang has now become a bachelor Zhang, and this house is naturally magnificent."

The girl raised her feet and was about to knock on the door, but Zhao Siniang grabbed her.

"This is the gate of Zhang's house, let's go to the side door."

The girl was puzzled, "Why don't we go through the door, we have to go through the side door, aren't we here to talk to Zhang Sanlang, and we're not here to be thieves." ”

"Dead girl, today Zhang Sanlang is no longer the Zhang Sanlang of the past, you also see the Zhang family's mansion compound, with white walls and Zhumen, this gate is not just anyone can walk. We can only go through this side door, or you will venture into the door of other people's houses, and beware of letting people beat the yard out with sticks. ”

Zhao Siniang asked the groom to drive to the side and wait, and then she and Yahuan walked to the side door to call the door.

After reporting their names and intentions, the gatekeeper told them to wait and go in to report.

After a while, Zhang Chao came over in person.

"I said the magpie kept calling this morning, so you will be here today. Hurry up in the house, please! Zhang Chao said with a smile.

Zhao Siniang smiled and saluted Zhang Chao first, and then said, "I received a letter from San Lang yesterday, saying that I would come to talk about things, and I came today." ”

"Let's go, let's talk in the house."

In the flower hall, the two sat down as the host and guest, and a girl came over to serve tea and snacks.

Zhao Siniang secretly looked at the house and found that the Zhang family's house in Chang'an City was really big and luxurious, and the decoration in the flower hall was also very beautiful.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Zhang Sanlang and her were getting farther and farther away, and I don't know why, she suddenly felt a little lost in her heart.

"I invite you here today, in fact, there is something serious. As you know, my winery has been built and we are about to start making wine, and we still make wine mainly from sorghum, but we also use other grains. Rice, wheat and millet will be used, and these are mainly used to make Tegong's imperial wine. Zhang Chao has always felt a little indebted to the Zhao family, and the Zhang family has bought and replaced more than 1,000 pieces of land from the Zhao family.

Although it is a willing deal, after all, they are neighbors, especially the current situation of the Zhao family is not very good, Zhang Chao also wants to pull them.

"How much food do you have left?" Zhang Chao asked.

Zhao Siniang showed a grateful smile on her face, although after Cui Yingying's concubine discussion last time, she was reluctant to go to Zhang's house, and she was also estranged from Zhang Chao. She is also a proud woman, and when she faces Cui Yingying's kind of gaze, she hates herself very much.

Although Cui Yingying has never said anything ugly, she can feel what she means, she is very lowly in Cui Yingying's eyes, and she is a shameless woman.

"Thank you, San Lang, I have always remembered the difficulties of the Zhao family and wanted to help us."

"Don't say these words, they are all from the neighbors, and it is the right thing to help each other. If you want, I can eat all your food now, and the price will be according to the market price, what do you think? ”

The Zhao family's grain stockpile, which has already been dragged down, is about to collapse. I have been hoping that the price will recover, but it has fallen again and again, and has been falling, during which there has been a small rebound, but it is only a return to the light.

So far, the Zhao family's grain has not been sold much, mainly because the price is too low and they are very unwilling.

But now that the New Year has passed, seeing that the deadline for borrowing is coming, the Zhao family is in a hurry, and it is difficult to clear the warehouse. Now Zhang Chao proposes to buy their grain, which is still at the market price, which is simply a charcoal in the snow.

It can be said that with Zhang Chao's shrewdness, he can completely find other grain merchants to buy grain, and he can buy a lot of grain at a cheaper price than the market price. But now Zhang Chao took the initiative to come to her and offered to buy her family's grain at a market price.

"At home, there are more than 1,000 stone of sorghum, more than 3,000 stone of millet, more than 2,000 square meters of wheat, more than 1,000 stone of rice, and more than 3,000 stone of beans."

"I'll take it all." Zhang Chao said very angrily.

"You don't need these grains for wine, do you?" Zhao Siniang raised her head, "I know San Lang wants to help me, but I am very satisfied if I can buy my family's sorghum." ”

"Don't worry, I can't buy it back and hide it at home. I can indeed eat all this food from your family. Sorghum can be used to make liquor, rice and millet can also be used to make wine, and beans can be used to make tofu and oil, and bean cake and bean dregs can be eaten and used as feed for my cattle and horses. Moreover, don't forget, there are a lot of people in Zhangjiagou now, there are more than 2,000 people in the wine and printing workshops, other workshops, schools, etc., plus 3,000 or 4,000 people on the construction site, and they consume a lot of food every day. ”

"Then I'll give you a discount."

"No, to be honest, this winery is not mine, it's a partnership of six. Our friendship is friendship, there is no need to discount the winery, hahaha. ”

Zhao Siniang couldn't help laughing, for the first time in so many days, she laughed out loud.

"Saburo, thank you."

"Don't thank you again in the future, you thank you back and forth, it makes me feel very angry."

Zhao Siniang sat there, suddenly didn't know what to say, the hall was silent, and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Zhang Chao felt that Zhao Siniang was not as free and easy as before, and seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance.

This kind of discovery made him a little helpless.

"Thirteen Niang, I want to go and see her."

"Unfortunately, she went out of the house today, and she hasn't returned yet."

"Oh, that's right." When Zhao Siniang heard that Cui Sanniang was not at home, she felt a little relieved in her heart, she didn't want to see her in her heart, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first and say hello to Shisanniang for me." ”

"I'll have you sent back."

"No, I came in the family carriage, and the car is outside."

"Walk slowly on that road."

Zhang Chao sent people to the door and watched Zhao Siniang's back disappear outside the door.

Back in the hall, Zhang Chao felt quite bored.

"San Lang, I'll press it for you." Du Caiwei appeared quietly, this woman is always like a cat, walks quietly, and can always seize every opportunity when Cui Yingying is not at home to get close to him.

This is much smarter than those two orchids, who are the kind of people who only know how to be passive and wait for Zhang Chao to find them.

"Okay, rub my shoulders for me."

Drunken Immortal Building.

The bidding party for the distributors of Bashang Liquor has begun, but Zhang Chao, the owner, did not go. Now his status is no longer suitable to personally run these business affairs, he just needs to choose a suitable manager to act for him.

Not only him, but also the other five shareholders, each sent their stewards to attend.

In the Zuixian Building, many merchants came with invitations. In fact, most of these people are the stewards of many wealthy families. Each one represents a big family.

The distributors of Bashang Liquor are still very attractive, and this new way of marketing goods makes these merchants feel more interested. Everyone knows that the liquor in the Bashang liquor industry is so famous nowadays that it must be a good commodity to really sell it. This way of zoning sales makes them all know that once they fail to enter the market this time, they will have to be ostracized.

If they can't grab the dealers this time, then they can only go to the sub-dealers of those regional dealers and eat the rest of others.

But when you come here, you don't have a chance.

Many people have heard some rumors and know that many large regions have been settled.

Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Shandong, Shannan, Jianghuai are said to be settled, and Guanzhong is marketed by Bashang Liquor itself, but there are still a lot of places left, Longyou, Bashu, Jianghan, Lingnan and other places, and even Liaodong, Mobei, Moxi, these are also markets.

"This Zhang Saburo is really a master who can toss and play tricks, this is a dealer, and a tender, to negotiate a business, and what kind of bidding documents have to be obtained."

"Who made this liquor the only business, if you are not happy, then you can only go home and watch. Anyway, I think this business should be good. ”

The world had just ended its turmoil, and the places began to settle down, and the demand for wine also increased. Even many businessmen have begun to set their sights on the grassland, Liaodong and other places.

Baijiu is much stronger than rice wine, and it is most suitable for places like grasslands, and the herdsmen are already fierce, and this wine suits their temperament. If it's cold, drink some liquor.

Transporting liquor to the grassland, Liaodong, and even Tuyuhun, Tubo and other places, exchanging cattle and horses with those barbarians, this business is definitely done.

"Is there a way to get the secret recipe for this liquor?" Some people are thinking differently.

"I don't think it's impossible, isn't there an alcohol workshop in the East Palace? I've heard that the brewing of liquor and alcohol is actually the same method. ”

In the corner of the Drunken Immortal Building, the two of them laughed treacherously.

"It is estimated that it is difficult to get the secret recipe from the Bashang Wine Workshop, but it should not be difficult to get the secret recipe from the alcohol workshop in the East Palace."

"Then remember to start early, the secret recipe is in hand, this is a deal worth a lot."

"Thank you Da Lang for reminding me this time, if it comes true, I, Li Chonggao, will not forget Da Lang."

Li Chonggao, the son of King Lujiang, said with a smile to his future sister-in-law Wang Yongan. (To be continued.) )
