Chapter 632 Fusheng Winery, Divided
Jiang Youzhen watched them bickering with a smile, and suddenly something came to his mind.
"Dad! I see you've been really busy lately. This morning when I went to the Hanlin Academy to report for duty, the servants told me that you had gone to the farm."
Jiang Fugui and the Shen couple are not very knowledgeable. If they are approached by people with ulterior motives, they will definitely suffer.
Losing money is a small matter, but the big thing is to be afraid of evil intentions. Recently, the Fourth Prince sent people to urge the production of strong liquor. If someone takes a fancy to this business opportunity and wants to get the recipe from Jiang Fugui, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only would she lose her business, but she would also have to take responsibility if anything went wrong.
However, since coming to the capital, Jiang Fugui has been managing the farm and starting to sell wine, and he is obviously much more confident than before.
Today, he is no longer the timid and ignorant farmer he used to be.
His horizons have now broadened, he has gained more knowledge, and he speaks more coherently.
Jiang Youzhen didn't want to hastily undermine his confidence, so he decided to wait and let Asan go and check it out first.
"Aren't you going to make some wine? You need it urgently, but it's almost done. I opened it and smelled it yesterday, and I almost fainted from the fumes. Then I poured some more to taste, and it was too strong. I drank a small bowl and slept for more than two hours in the afternoon."
Speaking of this, Jiang Fugui felt strange.
"Is there really anyone who drinks such a strong liquor? For someone like me who can't hold his liquor, I'll be drunk to death, right?"
Jiang Youzhen smiled, "That's not for drinking. I'll send the wine to the Fourth Prince's residence, and when they pass on the message, we'll increase production. These are all silver. Dad, you work hard, and I'll open a winery for you to sell wine.
You can also find someone to spend some time to make different types of wine. Depending on the strength of the wine, you can also add other things in it, such as flowers, fruits, and medicinal herbs. These are all ways to make money."
Jiang Fugui's eyes lit up when he heard this. "My son is a natural born businessman. These are all ways to make money quickly."
He now understood how much money he could earn just by digging for food in the fields and selling the grain. Only by selling the things produced by the grain could he earn more money.
"Don't talk nonsense. Now she's an official. I heard that officials are not allowed to buy and sell. Don't ruin her reputation."
Shen has also made friends with some ladies recently and knows some of the ins and outs of the business.
"Mom is right. It's not that Dad can't do these businesses, but he has to do it in the name of Mom's dowry."
"What's the matter? It doesn't matter if I write about your mother's dowry. Anyway, it's fine as long as I can earn some money. Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone load the wine onto the truck, and you can send someone to deliver it."
At this point, Jiang Fugui frowned again.
"But the food needed to buy this strong liquor is 50% to 60% more than before. What about the money? How do you plan to collect it?"
Originally, the Jiang family had prepared many types of wine. Generally, a jar of wine sold in a wine shop costs more than 200 coins. This jar is smaller, weighing about one kilogram.
The Jiang family's wine is more mellow and strong, and even its watery wine is more substantial than that of other families, so they charge 260 coins per pound.
As for other fruit wines, flower wines, and slightly stronger ones, the prices vary, ranging from three or four hundred wen to a few taels to dozens of taels.
Originally, he opened a small wine shop selling wine, which had been operating for some time. Because the wine was good, he had accumulated some repeat customers.
Jiang Youzhen had originally planned to find a way to expand the scale, and now the opportunity has come. Once the strong liquor is launched, and the name of Jiang's liquor is well-known, there will be no worries about lack of business.
"This kind of strong liquor is complicated to make and requires a lot of grain. In addition, it takes a long time. In the past, stronger liquors such as Dream Building sold for 600 coins per catty. This kind of extremely strong liquor must be sold for at least one or two taels of silver per catty. What do you think, Dad and Mom?"
Jiang Youzhen thought, in addition to the fragrance, the Dream Building also added a little rose. And the strong liquor only used grain, so the price was reasonable.
"Is it too expensive? I'm afraid no one will buy it." Jiang Fugui felt that he would never have dared to think of buying a small jar of wine for one tael of silver in the past.
However, after coming to the capital, he realized that good wine could cost several taels of silver per jar, which was not uncommon.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "This is a necessity. Dad will understand later that it is something that can save lives."
"Can it save lives? Then why did you name it Bugui?" Jiang Fugui didn't understand these little things, but it was indeed easier to distinguish it after giving it a name.
"That's because if you drink too much you will really die. The name Bugui is also a warning. It's not meant to be drunk."
Jiang Youzhen then said, "Dad, we must come up with a brand name of our own. We can't just call it Jiang's Winery."
"What's the name?" Jiang Fugui has always been too lazy to think about naming. Jiang Youzhen's name was not given by him, so how could he have such literary talent?
"Why not call it Fusheng Winery? It's named after my parents, but adding the "Shen" in my mother's name doesn't sound good, so let's call it Sheng! It means endless prosperity, which has a good meaning."
"Why not add yours? I didn't contribute anything." Shen didn't want it. She didn't care about this kind of thing.
"Yeah! Why don't you add your own name in there?"
Jiang Fugui thought that the farm and the wine recipe all belonged to his daughter, and that the business was also started by his daughter. He would just work hard and be a worker.
"This is considered mother's dowry! Then it must be named after mother? I don't care. Anyway, this business is prepared for you. You can earn money by yourself and spend it as you like. I have a lot of property, so I won't get involved."
Seeing that the couple was getting anxious and wanted to explain to her, Jiang Youzhen waved his hands.
"I really don't care about this little bit of money. If you think I have made a contribution, then you have to give me a share of the supply this time. In the future, you can give me a commission for the business I introduce to you, so that I can earn some pocket money to buy some jewelry and food for Liu Ya."
Jiang Youzhen patted Liu Ya, who was just listening without interrupting, as he spoke. It was just a joke to make her parents feel better.
If I keep asking her for money, I will feel insecure and unhappy. People still need to have their own money to be confident.
"How can you be left out? I'll give it to you as dividends. I'll give you 20% of the net profit for the year. That's what you deserve. Let's be clear. After you get your share, your mother and I will get 30%. The rest, you brothers and sisters will each get 10%, and Liu Ya will also get some."
Liu Ya was very shocked. She looked at Jiang Fugui and his wife and was stunned for a moment.
"I...I don't want it!" After a moment, she shook her head quickly.
She was very touched, but she couldn't accept it. She was already very happy to be supported by her second uncle and his wife, and she didn't dare to expect too much. She didn't contribute, so she shouldn't take it.
"Why not? Do you still treat us as outsiders? Since your name is under our family's name, you are our family. As your daughter, you naturally have a share." Shen also nodded.
