After sending Ximen Qing's butler away, Wu Song also planned to get down to business.
"Madam, come with me to visit Minister Wang!"”
"Yes, sir! I will return to my room to prepare!"
Pan Jinlian was overjoyed.
Wu Song was willing to bring her along when he went out to visit friends. This was his love for her.
In this era, not many men would bring their wives and concubines with them.
Official Wang was a wealthy wine merchant in Yanggu County.
However, it was not well managed and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Soon, Wu Song brought Pan Jinlian to the door.
When Minister Wang heard that Wu Song had arrived, he immediately went out to welcome him."Head Wu, what brings you here? Please come in!"
Wu Song followed Minister Wang into the residence.
Soon, the group of people sat down in the living room.
Wu Song cupped his fists and said,"Minister Wang, Wu Song came this time to discuss something important!"”
"Head Wu, feel free to speak!"
Official Wang immediately said.
"Minister Wang, I heard that you intend to sell the winery, so I came here specifically for that!" Wu Song said with a smile.”
"Head Wu, you want to buy my winery?”
When Minister Wang heard this, he was overjoyed.
In Yanggu County, there were two famous wines. One was Yi City Wine, and the other was Lotus Wine.
And the wine brewed by Minister Wang was a kind of turbid wine.
Turbid wine is made from glutinous rice, yellow rice, etc. It is turbid.
In other places, this turbid wine was quite popular, but in Yanggu County, it was not easy to sell!
"Not bad! Our Wu clan's ancestors have been brewing wine for generations. Now, I've brought my brother over from Qinghe County and plan to let him start a wine business!”
Wu Song said with a smile.
"That's right!" Minister Wang nodded. This lowly one has already heard of the great name of Wu clan's hero wine, but has never seen it!”
"Leader Wu, what price do you intend to offer?" he asked expectantly after a pause.”
"The price is negotiable, so naturally, we won't let Minister Wang suffer a loss!”
Wu Song laughed.
Minister Wang hesitated for a moment and then said,""If Chief Wu can pay five thousand strings of money, I will transfer the winery to Chief Wu!”
He had carefully considered this price.
Considering that Wu Song had just become the head of the city and might not have much money, it was already a good price.
"Good! Official Wang, this is the price! We'll immediately sign the relevant contract!"
Wu Song said with satisfaction.
"Leader Wu, are you really giving me five thousand strings of money?”
When Minister Wang saw that Wu Song did not even mention the price, he was a little surprised.
He had originally thought that Wu Song would use his status as the head of the city to forcefully buy and sell him.
"Of course!" Wu Song laughed. Wu Song wouldn't do anything to oppress the people. Wu Song would go back and get the money!”
Very soon, he came back with five thousand strings of money. Minister Wang cupped his fists and said,""I've long heard of Head Wu's benevolence and righteousness. Now that I've seen it today, it really lives up to its reputation!”
Thus, squire Wang immediately handled the relevant handover procedures.
Wu Song brought Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian to the winery.
In the past, it was called the Wang Family Winery, but from now on, it would be called the Wu Family Winery!
Seeing the huge winery, Wu Dalang seemed to still be in a dream."Second brother, will this winery belong to our family in the future?”
"Yes! Brother, this winery belongs to our family!”
Wu Song nodded.
Then, he said to Pan Jinlian,"Wifey, in the future, you'll have to take care of the winery business!"”
"Husband, this winery is to be managed by me?”
Pan Jinlian was pleasantly surprised.
At this moment, it was still the Northern Song Dynasty, and most women were in charge of the palace.
He had to serve his in-laws, cook, spin, coordinate family relationships and disputes, and manage financial balance. He had a lot of responsibilities.
Especially in a large family, whether the mistress was good at managing the household was extremely important to the rise and fall of the family.
However, Wu Song had given Pan Jinlian such a large business to manage.
This made her overjoyed.
Wu Song smiled,"Wifey, your husband usually has to deal with official business. I can't possibly delay on this wine business, right?"”
"Sister-in-law, second brother is right!"
Wu Dalang agreed.
In his view, the Wu clan's life could have such a huge change because Wu Song became an official.
Wu Song looked at Wu Dalang.”
Wu Dalang immediately waved his hand. Other than selling cooking cakes, Big Brother didn't know how to manage a business!”
Wu Song's expression turned stiff when he heard that." Brother, if I say you can do it, then you can!" Could it be that you want me to find an outsider to manage it?”
"Good! Second brother, don't worry! I will definitely do my best!"
Wu Dalang immediately nodded.
"Let's go!" Wu Song said with a smile. Let's go recruit some people!"
Soon, he visited some of the local squire in Yanggu County and recruited some experienced wine-makers.
In fact, many of the workers were originally from Minister Wang.
Now, the winery's shell had risen.
However, the core was still firmly in Wu Song's hands.
The first wine that Wu Song wanted to brew was the Immortal Poet Taibai Wine.
This wine was a type of Daqu liquor.
With the advanced wine making techniques of the later generations, combined with the ancient wine making techniques inherited from the Tang Dynasty, it was in line with the generation of wine making that Wu Song had mentioned before.
Traditional solid-state fermentation and " double cellaring " technology. Five kinds of high-quality red grain, rice, glutinous rice, corn, and wheat were selected as raw materials, and the sweet mountain spring was carefully brewed.
Years of cellar storage and exquisite blending techniques made the Shixian Taibai wine unique in its unique style of "rich cellar fragrance, mellow and soft, sweet and refreshing, and long aftertaste".
The most important thing was that the Immortal Poet Taibai had a series of products that could adapt to the different tastes, alcohol content, and packaging of the various regional markets in the country!
"The only pity is that the corn hasn't been introduced yet!”
Wu Song checked the winemaking knowledge in his mind and sighed slightly.
However, this was not a problem for him. With his current master-level wine-making skills, he quickly improved the recipe. He inherited the traditional wine-making style of the Tang and Song Dynasties and integrated modern techniques with a strong fragrance.
Although the taste of the brewed Shixian Taibai wine was slightly worse than the original, it was far better than the current yellow wine and turbid wine.
And the alcohol content could reach more than 50 degrees!
After improving the recipe, Wu Song built the cellar mud and mother's grains for brewing wine according to the knowledge in his mind.
This brewing process required more than half a month.
Originally, Wu Song thought that he would only invest in the future and would not have any income.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Xi Men Qing's butler came knocking on his door again!
