Red Dust Daqian

Chapter 144 Xiao Zhuyu's Private Message

The renovation of Shuimu Hall has been completed. Now Shuimu Hall is not only professional but also warm.

A group of purchasing staff that Li Ning'er had sent out earlier also came back one after another. This time, they almost bought out all the liquor in the surrounding areas of Jiangxia Prefecture. Some purchasing staff even had to take their money and go to markets farther away from surrounding provincial capitals to buy enough raw liquor.

Li Ning'er accompanied Zhou Sen to check the wines purchased by the guys. Without exception, according to Daqian's filtering and distilling technology, all the wines were turbid, and some of them were even mixed with rice bran and weeds. These were the wines that Daqian people liked, and they were extremely bad for Zhou Sen, but there was one thing that could be guaranteed, these wines were pure grain wines, so there was no need to worry about the safety of the wines.

In the future, Zhou Sen believes that clean grain wine distilled from these liquors will become popular in Daqian.

The site and raw materials were ready, and all that was missing was the equipment. Xiao Zhuyu lived up to his expectations. A few days later, Zhao Tiezhu returned with a distillation vessel made by Zhuyutang according to the drawings drawn by Zhou Sen. This vessel was made by Xiao Zhuyu and the kiln masters working overtime day and night. Several different types of kilns started working at the same time to create this unique distillation vessel. If Zhou Sen had not monopolized and upgraded the ceramic kilns at that time, I'm afraid this vessel would not have been made.

Zhao Tiezhu also brought the thoughts of Xiao Zhuyu and Mrs. Xiao. Xiao Zhuyu had already started to train management personnel and was quite successful, but Zhou Sen's letter disrupted all their plans.

Reform, large-scale reform and expansion, can never be accomplished without Xiao Zhuyu and Madam Xiao in person. Now the reform is in full swing, and it has also tied the two of them to the reform affairs of Xiangmu Society.

Changnan is indeed the headquarters of Xiangmu Society. In addition to recruiting more than a thousand shop assistants and craftsmen for Zhuyutang Kiln Factory, Zhao Tiechui has also established an armed force of thousands of people with the help of Madam Xiao and Xiao Zhuyu. The private school and Jishantang are also operating in an orderly manner, with sufficient reserve forces.

At the same time, Madam Xiao and others also expressed their concerns. The reform stage was difficult. Fortunately, Zhao Tiezhu sent the silver coin sponsored by Li Ning'er in time to relieve the pressure. However, now the income of the ceramic kiln factory is almost all used to support the forces. With the gradual expansion of the Xiangmu Society, it is estimated that there will be a bigger gap. In addition, there are a series of problems such as idle personnel and difficulty in governance, which need to be solved by Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen was also quite shocked when he saw the letter. He did not expect that Changnan County, the headquarters of Xiangmu Society, would develop so fast. If these people were to be supported, it would not be enough to open 10 more Shuimu Halls. But now is also the time to accumulate strength. It is not yet the stage of specialization, precision and smallness. These people have to be supported, and they need to continue to expand.

After much deliberation, Zhou Sen wrote to Madam Xiao and Zhao Tiechui, asking the armed personnel to form an escort agency and engage in the business of freight escort to earn money in addition to daily brainwashing and training, and to first become a half-working and half-armed team. In addition, Xiangmu Society was required to allocate appropriate funds to purchase land around Changnan County. Zhou Sen would also increase investment in this area in a timely manner in the later stage. I believe that after Shuimu Hall is put into operation, this aspect will be more feasible. For the redundant armed personnel, they can work on the land after training to create wealth.

In addition to the official letter from Xiangmu Society, Xiao Zhuyu also sent a private letter, a private letter that only Zhou Sen could see. In the letter, she listed Zhou Sen's faults: I haven't seen you for so long, and I never went back to Changnan to see you to relieve my longing for you. I can still vividly remember the scene of that day in my dreams at midnight, but my husband is so hateful. He doesn't know how to be gentle to a girl. He bit off two pink grapes on my chest. I still feel pain every time I think of it. After you left that day, I couldn't get out of bed for several days, but I like my husband's bravery. I often see wet sheets in my dreams at midnight. It's all because of you, this evil spirit, who makes me miss you so much...

Zhou Sen felt really bad for himself, and took a cold shower right after reading the letter...

When the wine distillation equipment was delivered, Li Ning'er was ecstatic. As expected, she was a man of swift and decisive character. Without waiting for Zhou Sen to read the letter, she took the blueprint and asked the men to assemble the distillation equipment that day.

Zhou Sen, who came late, instructed Li Ning'er and his friends on how to distill. At first, the effect was not very good. The distilled liquor was more than 10 degrees, which could only be regarded as sake, much worse than the real Chinese wine. Fortunately, after Zhou Sen's many adjustments and tests, the purity of the liquor once reached more than 70 degrees, clean and mellow. Of course, more than 70 degrees is the original liquor, and it needs to be blended if it is to be sold. However, with this kind of original liquor, no matter how it is blended in the Daqian era, it is a divine wine.

If the equipment made by Zhuyutang was fully operational, it would not be a problem to distill hundreds of jars of raw liquor a day. However, Zhou Sen intended to conduct hunger marketing, so he limited the supply to 10 jars of liquor a day and stopped distilling.

It was an auspicious day. After a long period of preparation and hype, the Shuimu Tang Restaurant was finally opening. Before it even opened, the streets were already crowded with people who wanted to join in the fun, all wanting to taste the divine wine.

In the first stage, according to Zhou Sen's instructions, Shuimutang Restaurant only sold one kind of 53-degree alcoholic beverage - Shuimuxianniang. On the first day, no profit was made, free wine tasting, and each person was limited to tasting one glass of wine.

It was incredible. Once this policy was announced, Shuimu Hall was overwhelmed with people. They were simply unable to handle it. They had no choice but to transfer the Yuemu Guards over. In the end, it still didn't work, so they transferred the Tiemu Hall over to maintain order. The wine tasting line stretched for several streets and didn't end until daylight was gone.

The first day of free tasting, the brothers of Shuimutang who had worked for many days were reluctant to give up. They worked so hard for many days but didn't expect that the boss would give away all the money. This is all hard-earned money. If it is sold, it will cost thousands of taels a day. But their reluctance is useless, because it was the boss Li Ning'er who decided to do this!

Li Ning'er was so reluctant and confused when Zhou Sen forced her to make the decision to try the drinks for free. Although she didn't care about money, this was the result of her hard work for many days. How could she not take a penny? How could the value of her work be reflected?

However, when seeing the endless stream of customers, the customers whispering praises, and asking each waiter how to buy this magical wine, Li Ning'er was relieved. Not only was she relieved, she admired Zhou Sen as a marketing genius. The word-of-mouth effect would have unlimited influence.
