Chapter 229: Hugely Profitable Business

When Bai Duojin went back to report to Bai Tao, facing her scrutinizing gaze, he no longer looked like the confident businessman he had been before.

"Auntie~" Bai Duojin scratched the back of his head shyly: "Did I do something wrong?"

Could it be that he took the initiative?

If I had known this earlier, I would have come back and reported it to my aunt before taking a look.

"Auntie, it's my fault. I shouldn't have..."

Bai Duojin was feeling uneasy, but he also remembered that there were several glass counters in the library that had nowhere to be used, so he thought that they would just be there anyway, and he could make some money by selling them.

"No." Bai Tao smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you. You handled it very well."

"Really?" Bai Duojin was a little uncertain.

I guess my aunt was trying to comfort him?
Bai Tao: "Really. I feel like I'll be rich enough to rival a whole country soon."

She didn't seem to have taught the villagers this, but she might have let it slip accidentally occasionally, and the villagers always thought that what she brought out was a good thing, so they sold it at a high price.

When Bai Duojin heard this, he quickly said, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will all work hard."

If other people knew this, they would definitely think that the people of Taohua Village were daydreaming.

The financial resources of a country are so enormous that the number of people who dare to claim to be as rich as a country can be counted on one hand in history.

But the villagers inexplicably have this confidence. With the guidance of the aunt, if they don’t live up to the expectations, they will be too ashamed to see her.

"By the way, how are the sales of drinks these past two days?"

Bai Duojin happened to be there, so Bai Tao asked casually.

When it comes to the sale of alcoholic beverages, even the mall wants to call Bai Tao a black-hearted businessman.

In ancient times, grain production was not high and there were regulations on wine brewing, so wine was also expensive.

The key problem is the backward brewing technology, and the alcohol content of the wine is not high.

Bai Tao took advantage of the mall and bought some bulk liquor at three to five hundred coins per pound. He packed it in small wine jars, and relying on its high alcohol content, he gave it a random name and sold it at an outrageous price.

Sweet potato rice wine with a 42-degree alcohol content sells for five taels of silver per pound.

A pound of sorghum rice wine with a 53-proof content sells for seven taels of silver.

Sixty-proof pure grain liquor sells for ten taels of silver per pound.

Not to mention the one with 68 degrees, it's sold at 15 taels per catty, and they limit the purchase to 100 catties a day.

You know, if you buy this wine from the mall, it's only 7.3 coins per pound.

Of course, fruit wines such as wine with an alcohol content of 8 to 10 degrees cost between two and three taels of silver per pound.

Junji Town has a special location. In addition to being close to Liang State, there are several other large and small foreign tribes, and these people all love wine.

The slogan of the Baijiabao wine shop is extremely domineering: drink the strongest wine, train the most powerful horse, and marry the most beautiful beauty.

Bai Danniu, the owner of the wine shop, looks delicate, but she is not delicate at all in her approach and is very quick and decisive.

On the opening day, Bai Da Niu stood at the door of the wine shop and yelled, "I'm the shopkeeper. If you sell watered-down wine, my whole family will die."

Strong liquor was hard to come by in ancient times, and her swearing, coupled with the rich aroma of liquor wafting out of the liquor shop, instantly attracted many people into the store.

Those who tried a glass of wine would take one or two jars away. As a result, the sales of wine in Baijiabao's wine shop were extremely amazing.

That’s not all. Bai Tao directly produced 10,000 kilograms of new wine, used a time accelerator to speed up the new wine into wines that were between fifty and nearly a hundred years old, and sold them to other worlds.

While collecting the 'hush money', the mall complained a little in its heart.

Crazy.

But Bai Tao's move also made many people around the world who bought such aged wine happy.

"Auntie, after yesterday's inventory, the wine shop received revenue of 283,627 taels." Bai Duojin reported while flipping through the account book.

"Three restaurants in Junji Town have already ordered wine from our wine shop and will use our wine for a long time in the future."

As he spoke, Bai Duojin snorted, "Auntie, these three restaurants are also very discerning."

You know, the liquor in Baijiabao's liquor shop is extremely popular. Every day before the shop opens, there are already hundreds of people waiting in line.

Some of those queuing up were people who simply loved wine, some were slaves of wealthy families, and some were wine dealers who bought wine and transported it out of Junji Town to sell in other towns.

Even wine that costs five taels of silver per pound is not cheap, but if you go to a restaurant and order one or two dishes, even a stack of peanuts, and drink a pot or half a pot of wine, it will cost less than five taels of silver.

Therefore, these three restaurants knew the needs of some people and immediately came to purchase the goods the next day.

"Auntie, the Anji tribe has ordered 3,000 kilograms of 53-proof sorghum rice wine from us."

Bai Tao heard this and asked, "Have you received the deposit?"

Bai Duojin smiled and said, "Auntie, we don't collect deposits. Our wines are rare and valuable. If you want to buy them, you must pay in full. Otherwise, you will have to wait two or three months."

As he spoke, he remembered something, turned to the next page, and continued to report: "Auntie, currently there are 2,632 people applying for cards, of which more than 900 are VIP customers who deposit a minimum of 12,000 yuan, and the rest are those who deposit a minimum of 300 to 500 yuan."

Bai Tao heard it and said, "Not bad." With tears in her eyes, she earned five taels of money in card processing fees from more than three thousand people.

Even though there are only 900 people who have made a minimum deposit of 10,000, it has only been a few days and there will be more and more in the future.

Bai Duojin continued: "By the way, auntie, the Nakun siblings who bought the video in your hand from Qian Zhanggui's Silver Shop are the eldest prince and the eighth princess of Liang State."

"They ordered 5,000 kilograms of 42-proof sweet potato rice wine and 10,000 kilograms of 53-proof sorghum rice wine from us, but they want to pay with their Liang State's snow yaks and gray-haired sheep. They want to ask if we are willing to pay."

Bai Tao searched it immediately, and the mall cooperated by providing an introduction and purchase price.

Both of these cattle and sheep existed in considerable numbers only in ancient times, but are extremely rare in modern times.

Snow yak, a delicacy from the snowy mountain grasslands, is priced at 352 coins per pound.

Gray-haired sheep, with grayish-white fur, is good at surviving in snowy mountains. It is sold for 225 coins per pound.

Bai Tao immediately knew what was going on: "Ask them how much they are willing to pay for their cows and sheep."

Since Nakun wanted to purchase wine and drinks, he would naturally include the price. Bai Duojin looked at the record and replied, "Auntie, they said that the cattle and sheep are all 50 cents per pound."

"No, it's too expensive." Bai Tao: "You must be kidding. The cattle and sheep are sent here just for meat. They're fifty coins a pound. He should keep them for his old age."

"Twenty-five cents a pound. If that's okay, then it's fine. If not, forget it." She had searched and found that other tribes also had it. If Nakun insisted on this price, she would just purchase it from other tribes.

Anyway, her wine is in short supply now, and no one knows that she is interested in snow yaks and gray-haired sheep.

Soon, Nakun sent a message agreeing to the transaction at a price of twenty-five cents per pound.
