Chapter 55 Talker
If Qin Xiangru is not here, Yang Liugen and Hu Sanjin will be the talkers in Qinzhuang.
"Master!"
The people bowed down.
"Don't be too polite."
Qin Mo sat on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and felt much better after quenching his thirst. He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, how much money did you make today!"
"Master, we received a total of 400 guests today and consumed a total of [-] kilograms of green vegetables. Three bowls of [-] kilograms were not enough. The hot pot and cooking made a total of [-] taels!"
Everyone in the Qin family was frightened by this number.
Oh my god, nineteen thousand, four hundred taels?
In one month, wouldn't it be possible to earn a few hundred thousand taels?
Xiao Liuzi licked his fingers and found that no matter how much he calculated, it was not enough.
Qin Mo frowned. Two hundred kilograms of green vegetables cost about 500 taels. Three bowls were not enough, a small bottle cost 50 taels (two taels), and sixty kilograms cost 5000 taels.
Hot pot and stir-fry dishes together cost more than 3000 taels.
He calculated in his mind that although the three bowls of wine were only filtered once, the cost was not low. One pound of wine required ten pounds of miscellaneous wine to be distilled.
About [-]% of the profit.
The cost of the greenhouse is not low, with an initial investment of nearly 2 taels.
There are also waste materials, and firewood costs a lot of money.
But in about two days, all the costs should be recovered. From the third day onwards, you can earn whatever you want.
The bulk of it is the beverage business.
And this wine business can only be done in Haidilao.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Let's return the money to the treasury first. We must strengthen patrols tonight and we must not relax!"
"Yes, Master!"
Everyone in the Qin family was very excited. Although the young master only gave them the dividends from the vegetables, it was still a lot. Even if he didn't give it, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the richer the master's family was, the better off their lives would be.
But Qin Mo was thinking about how to increase his income.
After all, Haidilao still needs to be distributed to Li Yue and the emperor, which is the capital for him to cancel the wedding with Li Yushu.
At the same time, inside Zhao Guogong’s residence.
Gongsun Chong and three others are plotting.
"What a shame, this idiot Qin actually grew vegetables!"
Gongsun was so angry that in one day, Gongsun's reputation as a cuckold spread throughout the capital.
What a disgrace to him.
His beloved cousin was snatched away by him, and the other marriage his father chose for him had something to do with Li Yue.
He felt that Qin Mo was naturally rebellious with him, and as long as it had something to do with him, nothing good would happen to him! Hou Yong drank wine, and said with hatred on his face: "Qin Hanzi made me lose face in front of Princess Qinghe, and I will never have the shame to see her again!"
"Qin Hanzi planted vegetables against the four seasons. This is against the words of the sage and the laws of heaven!"
Du Youwei said angrily: "We must contain him!"
Gongsun Chong narrowed his eyes in confusion, "I heard that Qin's Haidilao buying wine was a huge crime. Do you think that if His Majesty knew about this, would he protect him or..."
"good idea!"
The eyes of the two of them suddenly lit up, "And Qin Hanzi's method of growing vegetables against the four seasons, we must find a way to get it. When the time comes, it will be presented to the East Palace. It will be a great achievement."
"That's right!"
The three conspired, and soon, people in the capital began to talk, "Qin Hanzi violated the national law and secretly brewed wine. This is a serious crime!" "What a serious crime, Qin Hanzi is the eldest son of the Duke of Qin and the consort of Princess Jingyang. He is quite popular with Your Majesty. He loves me so much. For such a trivial matter, the most I can do is call him over and give him a scolding, what else can I do?"
"Then we can't just allow the state officials to set fires, the people must light the lamps!"
"I also heard that if you eat too much of these vegetables grown out of season, something will happen. After all, heaven and earth rotate, and it is said that if you eat them, you will be punished by heaven!"
"No way?"
"I would rather believe that this kind of thing exists than that it doesn't exist!"
The three of them became a tiger, and soon rumors spread in the capital, and the incident also reached Li Shilong's ears.
Li Shilong knew everything about what happened during the day.
"Did Chengqian and the others come to apologize today?"
"Your Majesty, the prince and the others are obsessed with their studies."
Gao Shilian said respectfully.
"Infatuated with studies? Haha, you can say good things for them!" Li Shilong snorted coldly, knowing that he was wrong but not repenting. He was actually a little disappointed in his heart.
However, he thought that if he let them come to the door, it would expose the matter, so he turned a blind eye and said nothing.
"Qin Mo planted green vegetables against the four seasons, which indeed reversed the rotation of heaven and earth. However, in order for the people of the world to have a bite of green vegetables, if there is a divine punishment, I will bear it with all my strength!"
The so-called divine punishment was said by people who were jealous of Qin Mo's green vegetables.
But this does not prevent Li Shilong from winning people's hearts.
He has been eating for so long without any trouble. He even ate green vegetables and his convenience became much better.
"The second thing is that Qinmo Winemaking is recycling fruit wine and Sanle pulp for secondary processing, not privately brewing wine. Go and warn those people who are talking nonsense without knowing the truth. Don't blame me for pulling out their teeth!"
Gao Shilian sang loudly, but secretly thought in his heart, is there any consort in the country who is so favored?
Your Majesty, this is showing your favoritism. "Wait a minute, this is about it!"
Li Shilong thought for a while, "Let's see how Qin Hanzi will deal with it first!"
It was hard for him to show up, and he also wanted to see what Li Yue would do.
"According to the order!"
After Gao Shilian retired.
Li Shilong fell into deep thought. Counting the days, Qin Xiangru should be arriving in the southwest soon.
It is not easy to open border markets to each other. Qin Xianggru is brave and resourceful, and he is quite majestic among the three armies.
What's even more rare is that he is loyal to himself, does not hold military power, and rarely gets involved in political affairs. Looking at the court, there are no more than one person like Qin Xiangru whom he can trust.
"If they can't handle this matter well, and I take action again, I can't let my son-in-law be bullied, right?"
In Li Shilong's eyes, Qin Mo is a piece of fine jade, waiting to be carved.
Whether it is placed in the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Industry, it will definitely be of great use to the world and the country! Li Xin was still too young and didn't know the energy behind Qin Mo.
At this time, Annan Hall.
Li Yue also received a letter from Qin Mo, "This fool, his handwriting is really ugly!"
Originally, he wanted to go to Qin's Haidilao when it opened, but the prince said harshly that anyone who dared to go out today would be against him.
This sentence was clearly meant for him. Today, he gave this face to the prince, and he did not want to have a direct conflict with the prince.
After all, the prince has too many political resources and personal connections. If he goes head-to-head, he will be the only one unlucky! But tomorrow, he must go and stand up for Qin Hanzi.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Li Yue's face lit up with joy, "Oh my God, I made more than 9000 taels in one day. Then in one month, wouldn't I be able to earn 60 to [-] taels?" In one year, you can earn a year’s worth of national tax! "
Li Yue was completely shocked by this letter!
