I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Seeing that her husband persisted, Hongyu didn't dare to say anything, but her heart was like drinking honey.

Young couple, you feed me a bite, and I feed you a bite. It takes more than half an hour for a breakfast to be considered over.

After breakfast, Hongyu urged Zhang Nuo to get busy with her own affairs. She also had to tidy up. In fact, it was almost done just now, but Zhang Nuo couldn't help Zhang Nuo's mischievous claws from time to time.

In fact, Hongyu is also wondering, where did my husband learn so many shameful tricks, and he didn't get married before, could it be that he learned it in a brothel?

It seems that I have to pay more attention in the future, and I can't let those foxes seduce my good husband away.

As a female official in the palace, Hongyu was educated in the secret affairs of the boudoir, which can be said to beat a lot of ordinary housewives.

In an ordinary family, when the mother secretly taught it orally, and even made gestures with her hands, the female officials in the palace had to study the pictures with the Taoist double cultivation classics collected by Ouchi. Not only that, but also a special life-sized wooden Make models for these female officials to observe.

These are actually common sense education, because these female officials will be favored by the emperor someday, so don't you have to use these methods?

Even if you are not favored, but a certain empress who is serving you privately asks you to help out with ideas, how do you know nothing about how to tie up His Majesty?

So, thinking that Zhang Nuo might be a frequent visitor to the brothel, even Hongyu, who has an old friend, plans to take a good rest in the next two days, and then use the same methods of those shameful vixen that he learned back then. My romantic husband.

Of course, Zhang Nuo didn't know about these daughters' concerns, otherwise he would have gone crazy with joy.

Zhang Nuo has a lot of things to do in the past few days. He even collected a large sum of money from Lao Li's investment in the wine business.

Calling Lao Fang, renting a carriage again, Zhang Nuo went straight to Yongping Square.

On the carriage, Zhang Nuo confessed to Lao Fang rather unhappily,

"Old Fang, you can go to the car dealership later and buy a ready-made carriage. Our family doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as it is convenient to use, there is no need to customize it."

"It's too inconvenient to have to rent a carriage first every time. If there is something urgent or something, you have to be anxious to death."

Seeing that the master started to complain, Lao Fang quickly nodded in agreement, saying that he must get the carriage home today.

Zhang Nuo nodded and began to think about other things.

The workshop here is a big project. After thinking about it for a while, several large warehouses for storing grain have to be built, and fire prevention measures must be taken.

Then there is the winemaking workshop, which occupies a large area.

After that is the distilling workshop, which is bigger than the brewing workshop. After all, the speed of distillation is not fast, and the wine has to be changed constantly in the middle. There is also room for personnel to operate, and it is not enough to just build a shed randomly.

Chapter 47

Arriving at Yongpingfang, Zhang Nuo, master and servant, came directly to Zhang's old courtyard.

The place is actually empty, after all, Zhang Nuo doesn't live here anymore, and Lao Fang has never been in here before, so the inside looks dusty.

Afterwards, he went around the other three yards again, and Zhang Nuo nodded in satisfaction.

Don't look at it as a small courtyard of a small family, the area is really not small, the four courtyards added together, Zhang Nuo roughly estimated, the total area is more than [-] square meters.

This will be left to future generations. If there is [-] square meters of land in the capital, he will explode with joy.

After calling Lao Fang to an open space, Zhang Nuo picked up a branch and started gesturing on the ground.

"Old Fang, all the partition walls between these four courtyards have to be smashed, and then at least two granaries must be built. The grain prepared in these two granaries is used for daily brewing."

"Afterwards, a steaming workshop and a cellar, these two are indispensable. Compared with other wineries, we have to add a distillation workshop, which is not small, and finally we will leave a bartending workshop."

After making gestures and roughly estimating the area, Zhang Nuo suddenly realized that it was not enough!

That's not enough anymore, Lao Fang is still reminding me.

"My lord, why didn't you arrange a firewood room in advance? The winery will use a lot of firewood at that time, so there must be a special firewood room?"

That’s right, it’s different from the later generations, who burn coal, gas, electricity, and so on, but they don’t have firewood. At present, a firewood room is an indispensable one for any family. function room.

Such a room can not only prevent the firewood from getting wet, but also effectively prevent fire.

But the thought of buying firewood in large quantities to send him to the winery in the future gives him a headache.

It's not that I don't want to part with the money, but because the firewood is very inconvenient to control the firepower, and it's especially unburned.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Nuo said to Lao Fang,

"In this way, we will only keep one granary. Then you can go to other cities or outside the city to see where there are dilapidated yards to buy. Let's build granaries in several places. These things are indispensable."

"Based on the future consumption of our distillery, the food will increase by ten cents, and our cost will have to rise a lot, so the most important thing is to store food in autumn and winter."

"Anyway, we still have Lao Li's [-] pennies as a base. You open your hands and collect a few more. Don't worry if you have food at home. When the time comes, build more granaries!"

"As for the matter of firewood, you let me think about it. It seems that I have other ways to solve it."

Lao Fang bowed his hands and agreed. He also thinks that it is a good thing to build more granaries and stockpile more grain. Whether it is for his own winery or for food during famines, as the master said, if there is grain at home, he really doesn’t panic. .

But Lao Fang thought about another thing,

"Master, if you want to buy real estate anyway, why don't you go to Dongshi and Xishi to get two shops? It will be convenient for us to sell it at that time! Let's change the house to its original state and live a good life!"

"After all, you will also be an official in the court in the future, so the restaurant business will be put in Dongshi, and it will be fine for the Da Zhuang brothers to manage it then?"

The house Zhang Nuo lives in now was remodeled by himself.

It was originally an ordinary courtyard with two entrances. He removed the gate and the surrounding wall, so that the small courtyard in front of the main hall was directly connected to the main road, and the original main hall became the lobby of the restaurant.

At this moment, when Lao Fang reminded him, Zhang Nuo also felt that his restaurant could indeed be closed. He was about to become the chairman of the No. [-] liquor brand in Datang, and it was embarrassing to even open a small restaurant.

And he will be a high official in the future. If he enters the Yamen and sees, hey, all his subordinates are regular customers in the store, and they have eaten the dishes he made by himself.

Thinking about it this way, it’s true, when Lao Li and the others are coming in the future, it’s the same to eat directly at his own home, and the East Market and the West Market can still open restaurants, and when the time comes to sell wine on the first floor and eat on the second floor, you can even have food. Membership or something.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Zhang Nuo got up happily and confessed to the old Fang,

"Okay, you go back to the East Market and the West Market to inquire, see if there are any ready-made shops for sale, it's better to open up, our business is not small, when the place is small, it will be troublesome."

"In addition, it's time to tidy up the house. You just need to look at the arrangements. You just need to keep a good account, which is your own expenses and which is business expenses."

"Although Lao Li is a big spender, our family can't help but pay attention to it. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly!"

After explaining to Lao Fang, Zhang Nuo went to find the Fangguan again. As the most low-level official in Datang, the Fangguan had no rank.But in fact, only the officials in Fangshi are most familiar with it.

And if you start a workshop in this market, if you don't have a good relationship with the officials, then you don't have to do it.

The square official's surname is He, and Zhang Nuo has known him before. Hearing that Zhang Nuo wants to open a workshop here, he naturally supports it.

Sure enough, after giving some small gifts, Zhang Nuo was going to find the Fangguan to do something.

"Old He, the workshop here will definitely trouble you. Lao Fang will start recruiting people to work in the past few days. At that time, he will give priority to recruiting people from our old neighbors. You can help introduce people, as long as you do Live fast, and there will be no shortage of money!"

Lao He's eyes suddenly lit up, this is to introduce someone to work, this is a good job, and it is a rare business that does not offend others after eating at home and at home.

For Zhang Nuo, as long as Lao He can really find someone quickly, then a thank you gift will definitely be indispensable.

As for the residents in the workshop, they couldn't be too happy to be able to find a job right next door to their own house. At that time, it would be inevitable to give old Jose an egg, send jars of wine and so on.

Therefore, for this kind of good thing delivered to the door, Lao He naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

After confirming the matter of the workshop, the master and servant went to the West Market again. This time Zhang Nuo came to buy things again. After all, last time he only made a kind of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and now the workshop will start work soon. Naturally, we have to get a few flavors out.

Fortunately, at this time, Datang is obsessed with all kinds of fragrances. Not only women like sachets and tea fragrances, but even men in Datang like them.

Therefore, there are various dried petals and spices on the market at this time.

Now with Lao Li's [-] guns as a base, Zhang Nuo is an inflated group, and he almost bought it all the way.

Not long after, half the carriage was filled with cinnamon bark, Chinese pepper, osmanthus, and mint, and Lao Fang couldn't laugh or cry.

Chapter 48

At the same time, as the guidance of various online tutorials for later generations, Zhang Nuo knows that this is the time when Hongyu is most sensitive, and it is best to buy some small gifts or something to coax her.

However, he underestimated the sales ability of merchants in this era, you buy it for Madam?

How about pairing it with our latest rouge powder?

Do you want to wear this skirt?Do you want to wear this headdress?Do you want to wear these earrings?

After the final calculation, damn it, I actually bought a dozen or so things here and there.

One must know that he didn't buy anything particularly expensive, but bought some clothes and jewelry for Hongyu. After all, he thought that Hongyu didn't bring many things with him from home, so he probably lacked something.

Of course, the younger sister can't forget that although she hasn't eaten yet, she can't really be treated as a maid, so she has to prepare.

It is said that Qian Zhuang is cowardly, and it can be said to be vividly reflected in Zhang Nuo.

The money he brought for this trip was basically spent, so Zhang Nuo immediately regained his composure, and hurried back into the carriage in a daze, without any sign of the vigor that seemed to be about to buy half a street just now.

Back home, Lao Fang turned his head and went to get a carriage according to Zhang Nuo's arrangement. He had to go to the workshop to recruit people, and he probably had to eat outside.

On the other hand, Hongyu couldn't laugh or cry when she saw her husband worried that she had no clothes to wear, and bought several sets of clothes and jewelry.

He took Zhang Nuo's hand and came to the room, opened the small box that he brought as a dowry, and introduced,

"This treasure chest is prepared by my sister-in-law for me. It contains everything from headwear, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. My husband doesn't have to spend money on my concubine."

Zhang Nuo hugged Hongyu into his arms, and asked with a smile,

"Then tell the truth, are you happy that my husband bought these for you?"

Hongyu struggled for a couple of times, but she didn't get out. She blushed and whispered,

"The husband loves the concubine, so the concubine is naturally happy."

"That's it. Our family doesn't lack the money. We can't just think about enough and usable, but we have to pursue good use. As long as Hongyu is happy, these things are worth buying. Gadgets It’s just a child, it won’t cost much money.”

The young couple got bored for a while, and then they had to be busy with other things.

Zhang Nuo told Hongyu that he planned to close the restaurant, only accept some friends, and open two restaurants in Dongshi and Xishi at the same time.

After listening to Hongyu, she also agrees very much. In her opinion, her husband will ascend to the court sooner or later, so how can he always be the shopkeeper of a restaurant.

Just read books every day, practice calligraphy, and take care of the family business.

At the same time, Hongyu, as the hostess, also put forward her own opinion, that is, if the restaurant is closed and only exists as the Zhang Mansion, the mansion needs to add people.

Hongyu snapped her fingers to count for Zhang Nuo,

"Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang must have one go to the East Market and the other to the West Market, then Zhang Erniang and Liu Sanniang have to work as cooks in the kitchen, Lao Fang is the housekeeper, and the dog will most likely be sent by the husband to the winery as stewards .”

"The concubine also knows that the younger sister is the concubine's room reserved by the husband, and Hongdou is the maid who came as a dowry. Maybe someday she will also become a concubine's room."

"Then in this way, there will be no servants in this house. Those who clean, serve tea and water, take care of the house, and drive cars are all gone."

Zhang Nuo was dumbfounded by Hongyu's calculation, is there such a shortage of people in his family?

But Hongyu's guess was really accurate, he really planned to send Brother Da Zhuang to be a chef in two restaurants, and Gouzi would definitely have to go to the wine shop to keep an eye on it, and there was really no one at home.

But it is true that Xiaobaicai was booked by him, but what does it mean that Hongdou will become a concubine?

Judging by the appearance of that girl, I am afraid that she is thirteen or fourteen years old like my younger sister, and she is only a maid, so she is about to become a concubine.

As soon as the question was asked, Hongyu laughed, and hurriedly explained to Zhang Nuo,

"Although the concubine is not the wife of the main house, she is also from a serious family, so Hongdou is not called a maid, but a dowry, or the husband can treat her as a maid of the house. She has to take care of you."

"If the future wife of the main house is from a rich family's first daughter, I'm afraid that the dowry maids will have to bring several of them!"

"And my husband guessed wrong. That girl is two years older than my younger sister. She is sixteen this year, but she just looks like a child."

After hearing this, Zhang Nuo suddenly realized that the red bean girl is what later generations call a legal loli, or a buy one get one free.

Doesn't it mean that loli has three good things? Well, can I verify it someday?

After the couple chatted about these private matters, Zhang Nuo hurriedly went to work on his own affairs. The new wine hadn't been mixed yet. If he didn't prepare well, wouldn't the bold words he said in front of Lao Li become a joke?

As for the matter of recruiting, anyway, Hongyu is at home now, let her and Lao Fang think about it together.

Gouzi, Zhang Erniang, and Liu Sanniang were called, and they came to the place where the water was boiled again. The bamboo pipes prepared for the last alcohol distillation were still here, and they were just used this time.

Because I have done it once before, everyone is familiar with it.

But this time Zhang Nuo couldn't solve the problem with a simple bottle of high-concentration alcohol, because he planned to experiment more and then come up with a series.

Different flavors of the same alcohol, different alcohols of the same taste must be prepared, and the development of these wines must be accompanied by a large amount of alcohol consumption.

So Zhang Nuo planned to make dozens of catties of alcohol at one time, at least prepare the latest experimental materials for him at one time.

Washing the pot, pouring wine, lighting a fire, distilling, the whole process is repeated continuously.

After letting Gouzi watch it twice and explaining some precautions, Zhang Nuo ignored it.

It is reasonable to leave this kind of non-technical matter to other people. He is going to challenge difficult things.

Because he is going to be a wine tycoon recently, Zhang Nuo asked Lao Fang to collect almost all the good wines on the market early on.
