Millet vinegar is brewed.
And the quality is excellent!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt relieved, and then filled with ecstasy.
I have been working in the vinegar workshop for such a long time. Due to the division of labor, everyone has a fixed job and does not know what other people's jobs are like or how they do them.
The people doing the work do their best, but they are worried whether others will do the same, and even more worried whether something else will go wrong.
After all, making vinegar involves many processes and a long cycle, and is full of various variables. If you are not careful, all your efforts will fail.
Now, the millet vinegar is brewed and of excellent quality, which proves that all their hard work for so long is worth it!
Many people were ecstatic and even shed tears.
Even Pei Chenghe was very excited at this time.
When the shares of the vinegar workshop began to be sold, he knew that this vinegar workshop was not only a place to shelter refugees, but also a place of trust by the people. He was carrying responsibility and the people's hope.
Today, the seed of hope has successfully sprouted, taken root, and is growing vigorously, and will soon blossom and bear fruit!
This vinegar-brewing workshop is just around the corner!
Pei Chenghe was happy, and felt that Xia Mingyue, who was the first to propose opening the vinegar workshop and worked day and night during the preparation of the vinegar workshop, had made an indispensable contribution. He subconsciously wanted to give Xia Mingyue a big hug.
But when he thought that the other person was a woman, this action was very inappropriate, so he could only randomly pull someone next to him excitedly.
While hugging, he patted the other's shoulder fiercely.
Feng Maocai, whose shoulders were almost broken, said, "..."
For a moment, it was difficult to understand whether the county magistrate was truly happy or was seeking revenge for the previous New Year gift incident.
But today is a good time to start a conversation, so...
Don't care about it!
After everyone present had tasted the first jar of vinegar, they all felt that it should be given to Xia Mingyue as a sign of respect and gratitude.
Xia Mingyue knew what everyone was thinking, so she didn't refuse and took it back to use in her daily cooking.
As soon as the first batch of vinegar is brewed in the vinegar workshop, it is immediately put on the market for sale.
Millet vinegar has a good taste, a authentic vinegar flavor and a strong aroma. It is produced by a vinegar workshop in Jinqiu County and the price is very reasonable. Therefore, when it was first sold on the street, many people went to buy it to have a taste.
This taste...
Everyone reached a consensus - from now on, they would eat millet vinegar at home!
But the fair price of millet vinegar lies in the fact that the price markup is not high compared to the cost of raw materials. Compared with vinegar brewed in other places, the price is still 30% higher.
But these are not the problems!
It's only 30%. A family can eat several kilograms of vinegar in a year, so the most important thing is that it tastes good.
Life is hard enough for a person, so there's nothing wrong in being nicer to his only child. Besides, as the saying goes, it won't cost much at most!
As a result, this millet vinegar became a hot commodity once it was sold. Every day, all the vinegar transported from the vinegar workshop to the street was sold out.
In order to facilitate the sale of millet vinegar, Pei Chenghe even rented a small shop on the street in the county town, hung up a shop sign, and arranged for sales staff.
Since they had a fixed shop, Xia Mingyue suggested writing a message on the shop sign to welcome big merchants to negotiate. Pei Chenghe was timid about this, "This vinegar has just started to be sold. If it is written like this, will it..."
It seems a bit too pretentious.
"Master Pei, don't worry." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "The aroma of vinegar spreads thousands of miles. Good things are naturally liked by everyone. Even if merchants think it is not cost-effective to sell it to ordinary people, there are still major restaurants and wealthy families that need it."
If you want to make a delicious dish, the ingredients are one thing, the chef’s skills are another, but the most important thing is the seasoning.
The seasonings are of high quality, so the food will naturally not be bad.
What's more, the cost increase is limited.
As long as there is demand, there will be a market, and there will be merchants willing to manage this market.
Pei Chenghe studied since he was young, and then became an official. He didn't know much about the art of business, but he felt that what Xia Mingyue said made a lot of sense, so he nodded quickly and said, "Then let's do as Madam Xia said."
On the second day after instructing the clerk to add these words on the shop sign, someone found the clerk and asked if the millet vinegar could be sold at a lower price if a large amount was purchased.
The waiter did not dare to delay and quickly found Manager Song of the vinegar workshop.
Manager Song's full name is Song Changhe. He was originally Pei Chenghe's legal advisor. His family was originally in the cloth business, but later moved here because of the war. Because he was good at writing, he got a job as a clerical legal advisor to Pei Chenghe.
Seeing that he was prudent in his work, upright in character, and had certain abilities in managing and employing people, Pei Chenghe temporarily arranged for him to be in charge of the vinegar workshop.
Song Changhe has been working diligently and hard these days, and has lived up to Pei Chenghe's expectations. Together with Xia Mingyue, he has managed the entire vinegar workshop in an orderly manner.
Upon learning that a wealthy customer was coming, Song Changhe did not dare to neglect him and specially asked Xia Mingyue to go and negotiate with him.
After a detailed chat, I learned that the other party's name was Hu Yuanzhi, and he was a merchant who traveled all over the country, selling goods back and forth and making money from the difference in price.
This time, they arrived in Jinqiu County to pick up a batch of cloth, and they would go back after selling them.
There was no reason to go back with an empty truck this time, so he wanted to find some suitable goods so that he could make some money to offset the loss on the round trip.
But he searched for a long time but couldn't find what he wanted. He just happened to see this millet vinegar shop, tasted it and found it delicious, so he wanted to buy a few carts.
And these few trucks will hold dozens of jars of vinegar.
The vinegar in the vinegar workshop was being opened continuously, and the vinegar was produced in turns. However, the vinegar workshop had just been established and everything was not perfect yet, so the amount of vinegar produced was quite small at the beginning.
At this time, he wanted to pull up dozens of jars, but the vinegar workshop did not have so many jars.
If you want to get so much goods, you will have to wait for more than 20 days.
When Hu Yuanzhi heard this, he sighed, "I still have to go collect some raw silk. If I have to wait for more than 20 days, I'm afraid that business will be out of time."
"Well, if this business doesn't work out, then let's not do it for now and we can talk about it next time." Hu Yuanzhi looked regretful, but he stood up and was about to leave.
Song Changhe felt very sorry when he saw this.
Dozens of jars of vinegar can make the vinegar workshop earn a lot of money, and it may also increase the reputation of millet vinegar. Such a good opportunity is gone just like that...
But the vinegar workshop's production capacity is limited at this time, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Song Changhe stood up and prepared to see him off, saying, "If Manager Hu comes to Jinqiu County again..." (End of this chapter)
