Da'an's best son-in-law

Under Wei Yanran's guidance, the waiter took the two of them to the best winery in Jizhou.

Although the An Dynasty implemented the Liquor System, in addition to controlling the production and sales of alcohol, the government also encouraged people to make and sell alcohol on their own. Although the two seemed to be in conflict, they were integrated with each other in the An Dynasty.

Coupled with the relaxed business environment, the brewing industry in Anchao can be said to be very developed.

Inside the winery, you can see a dazzling array of wine varieties. Several jars of fine daughter's red wine seem to have just been unearthed and are placed in the most conspicuous position on the counter.

Seeing the two of them entering the door, a man who looked like a young boy hurriedly came up to greet them and said with a smile.

"What do you want? Our store is the best winery in Jizhou. We have all the good wines from Anchao. You can choose as much as you want."

Ye Chen picked up an exquisite peony wine pot, looked at it, and said lightly, "Where is your wine making place? Can you take us two to see it?"

As soon as these words came out, not only was the boy confused, but Wei Yanran beside him was also confused.

Since ancient times, when buying and selling wine, you have always ordered it yourself at the front desk. I have never seen anyone come to a winery and immediately go to the place where the wine is made.

The brewing process of each winery is absolutely confidential, which is related to the future prosperity of the winery. How could Ye Chen just watch it casually.

The boy looked at the two people in front of him in embarrassment and said, "Two guests, we have rules. You just buy wine, but you can't see this workshop."

Can't see?

Seeing that the former was in trouble, Ye Chen took out the banknote Wei Yanran had given him a few days ago and counted out twenty taels.

These one hundred taels of silver were considered all his possessions, and even this was a reward given to him by Wei Yanran because he saw that his event was well organized. It really hurts him to take it out now.

Ye Chen took out the banknote and waved it in front of the boy, and the boy's eyes lit up instantly.

His monthly salary was only five taels of silver, and Ye Chen's move was worth half a year's salary.

After cautiously observing the surroundings, he found that the people around him were not paying attention to them. The boy grabbed the banknote from Ye Chen's hand and quickly stuffed it into himself.

As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. After putting away the banknote, the waiter changed his embarrassed expression and smiled flatteringly at the two of them, "Two guests, please follow me. This is the workshop of our shop." Walk"

Ye Chen winked at Wei Yanran, and the two of them immediately followed.

On the way to the workshop, Wei Yanran saw Ye Chen beside her with a somewhat pained expression. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't feel bad about your little money. I'll replenish it for you later."

After receiving such a guarantee, Ye Chen's depressed mood felt a little better.

The two of them followed the boy through the corridor of the winery, and the aroma of white wine suddenly hit their faces.

In the workshop behind the winery, the koji-making grains are being brewed in the central field. The shirtless masters are fermenting and cooking the koji-made grains, and there is a huge distillation device behind them.

Under the steaming temperature of the boiler, the entire workshop is filled with the aroma of grains, which is strong and somewhat pungent.

"Hey, who are you? You are not allowed to enter this workshop, get out!" Seeing the three people coming in, the leader of the masters quickly said to expel them.

Before Ye Chen could speak, the boy beside him quickly stepped forward to explain to the master who had just spoken. At the end of the conversation, he quietly stuffed a few taels of silver into the master's pocket.

After receiving the benefit, the brewing master no longer stopped him. He told Ye Chen not to move and continued working.

Ye Chen stepped forward and began to carefully observe the brewing facilities of Da'an Dynasty.

The necessary brewing facilities for cooking grains, fermenting koji, and distilling fermented products are already quite complete.

The way to make that kind of German beer is not complicated and can be done using the craftsmanship of this brewery, but the malt as the raw material is the most difficult to find.

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen asked the boy next to him.

"Does this brewery have any unripe malt?"

When he asked this question, Ye Chen didn't have much hope. The Da'an Dynasty used mature grains to make wine and did not have the habit of retaining malt.

To Ye Chen's surprise, the waiter pondered for a while and sighed helplessly, "Come back to me, sir, our store has a batch of immature malt."

"Because the harvest in many fields was not good, the wheat failed to grow, leaving a large amount of malt. Our boss is worried about how to deal with it."

Hearing that there was indeed a batch of malt, Ye Chen immediately became energetic and asked excitedly, "Do you want to sell this batch of malt? I paid it at the price of mature wheat."

The boy next to him couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, but then he felt ecstatic.

Since ancient times, ungrown malt has always been thrown away or fed to livestock, because for wineries, it is impossible to make wine with this kind of stuff. Circles serve no purpose.

They were worried that they had no place to process this batch of malt, so Ye Chen came to them and wanted to buy their batch of malt. This was a pie-in-the-sky business for the brewery.

Harvest malt at the market price of mature wheat?

The guest officer in front of me looks very handsome, but he does things so nonsensically.

Sensing Ye Chen's uncontrollable joy, Wei Yanran asked confusedly, "What does your husband want with this batch of malt?"

The price didn't matter to her, but she racked her brains and couldn't figure out what Ye Chen would do with this half-cooked malt that Jizhou people regarded as waste.

"You'll know when I get back to the Wei family," Ye Chen said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing that the former was still selling off, Wei Yanran glanced at Ye Chen helplessly and began to prepare her money. Ye Chen's little possessions were a bit shabby and she wanted to buy a batch of malt at the market price.

Although she doesn't understand Ye Chen's strange thoughts and behaviors every time, it seems that the former can bring her unexpected surprises every time.

During the conversation, the owner of the wine shop was called over by the waiter, and a middle-aged man trotted into the wine shop from outside.

"Noble sir, which noble man wants to buy malt?"

After looking around, the middle-aged man finally locked his eyes on Ye Chen. He quickly came over and held Ye Chen's hand tightly. This operation left Ye Chen a little confused.

The man then introduced himself enthusiastically.

"My name is Jin Wanfa, and I am the owner of this winery. Do you want to buy the malt from our winery?" While talking and laughing, the former held Ye Chen's hand and slowly tightened it. His affectionate eyes made Ye Chen get up all over. Goosebumps.

I just want to buy malt, and I don’t want to sacrifice myself...

After introducing himself, Jin Wanfa noticed Wei Yanran standing quietly next to Ye Chen, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why does this young lady look so familiar..."

At the chamber of commerce held in Jizhou City, he seemed to have seen this woman more than once.

After thinking for a while, Jin Wanfa was shocked and said to Wei Yanran, "It is Wanfa's honor for Miss Wei to come to this winery!"

In the business world of Jizhou City, although Wei Yanran is a female figure, her reputation and status are now at the peak. Only Chen Moqun of the Chen family and Ye Qingyun of the Ye family can compete with him.

Wei Yanran nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

"I want this batch of malt. Can Boss Jin please deliver it to the Wei family for us?" Wei Yanran took out the banknote from her purse and handed it to Jin Wanfa.

Seeing the banknote handed over, Jin Wanfa hesitated for a moment, but took it and quickly put it away. A trace of ecstasy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Wei. I will arrange for someone to send it to Miss Wei's house as soon as possible!"
