Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 119 Shipping

They have been burning fire to heat the room. The temperature in the new winery is around 15 degrees, which is very suitable for fermentation.

Climbing up the ladder, Wen Qing opened the lid of the stainless steel tank and found bubbles coming out. It seemed that the fermentation was normal. She asked the workers below to pass up the bucket of sugar. Wen Qing poured the sugar into the tank and stirred it vigorously with a clean wooden stick to melt all the sugar. Then she covered it with the one-way sealing lid again.

Wang Jianguo also followed Wen Qing's example and climbed onto another stainless steel tank. After adding sugar, they went down the ladder. The hawthorn wine was almost brewed, so she began to perfect the mud cellar.

The yellow mud in the space has been washed by lake water for a long time, and the soil is relatively clean.

Last night, she shoveled some wine mud from the wine cellar in the space, mixed it with yellow mud, and put it into the wine cellar of the new winery.

Today, they first apply cellar mud on the bottom and walls of the cellar and pat it hard to make the mud stick firmly. Then they add the discarded lees from wine making to koji, rice bran and rice husks and pour them into the cellar for fermentation.

Due to limited soil, she can only maintain twenty mud cellars at a time, and the cellar maintenance time is set at more than half a year. During this half year, the new winery only brews light-fragrance liquor and fruit wine.

This time, Wen Qing bought a lot of spring and autumn clothes and shoes from the port city and the small fishing village, and also collected some clothes and bags in the villa. She had to sell the goods before school started, and the best place to sell them was various flea markets.

She went to Shenjiayuan, which was more lively than before, with many new shops opened on both sides of the street.

Wen Qing went to the commissioned store first. Xinda Store and Deyong Store were both stores she had dealt with several times.

There weren't many things in the Xinda store, and Master Song also knew her. Wen Qing took the opportunity to ask about the current situation. Master Song said helplessly, "Now there are many places where people sell things. If you don't want anything, you can go to the market to sell it yourself, and you don't have to send it to the Xinda store. Look, there is no stock in the store now, and the store is almost unable to operate."

Wen Qing said, "I have some second-hand clothes here, do you want them?"

Master Song said: "As long as it is 7% to 8% new, we will take it." The main reason is that no one wants the ones that are too worn out.

Wen Qing asked Master Song to wait while she went out to get the bag from the tricycle.

When she came, the big bag on the tricycle was filled with some cotton. At this time, she calmly replaced it with a bag filled with clothes, otherwise it would be too heavy and difficult to pedal.

Master Song took her to the inner room. Wen Qing opened the bag and found both men's and women's clothes inside. The men's clothes were all well-made suits, shirts, coats, jackets, etc. The women's clothes were also cheongsams, skirts, and evening gowns of excellent quality. Master Song turned up the collars and saw that most of them were foreign brands. There were a few pieces with particularly good workmanship, and they were big international brands.

Master Song smiled and said, "Xiao Wen, where did you get these? Although they are second-hand, they are in relatively new condition."

Wen Qing smiled without saying anything. After Master Song finished looking at this package, he opened another one. It contained bags, ties, scarves, and belts. The texture and quality were all very good. Master Song called the manager over and the two of them discussed it together.

More than 5000 pieces of clothing, bags, and accessories were purchased for yuan. Wen Qing didn't care, as these were just picked up.

After coming out, Wen Qing went to Deyong entrusted store again.

Master Zeng seemed to be living a better life than Master Song. There were some new merchandise in the store, including clothes, fabrics, and general merchandise. It looked a bit messy, but there were many customers shopping. When Wen Qing arrived, Master Zeng was talking to a female salesperson.

Wen Qing came over to say hello, and the saleswoman saw that Master Zeng had a customer, so she walked away to serve the customer.

Wen Qing asked: "Master Zeng, you look radiant. Did you have a good Spring Festival?"

Master Zeng smiled and said, "Xiao Wen, you haven't been here for a long time. Have you forgotten about the old man? Thanks to your reminder last time, our manager has a way to get a lot of things to sell, which makes things a little better. What can I do for you today?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "A friend of mine bought some clothes and shoes from the south. Do you want any?"

Master Zeng said, "I'll go ask the manager."

After a while, Master Zeng brought out a man in his thirties and introduced him as Manager Zhang of the store. Wen Qing told Manager Zhang what she had said before. Manager Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, let her come over and discuss in detail."

Wen Qing said, "Thank you, Manager Zhang. Can I let her talk to him herself?"

Manager Zhang thought she didn't want to get involved in her friend's business, so he said with understanding, "Okay."

Wen Qing’s only friend is herself.

The next day, she dressed up as a southern woman in her thirties, wearing jeans and a white shirt, pulling a suitcase, and found Manager Zhang. She introduced herself: "Hello, Manager Zhang, my last name is Zhu, and Wen Qing asked me to come to you." Her accent had a slight southern flavor.

Manager Zhang looked at the woman with delicate makeup and capable manners, and said kindly, "Comrade Zhu, please sit down."

Asking her to take out the samples, Wen Qing opened her suitcase, took out two pieces of tops, two pieces of pants, and two pieces of shoes, matched them together, and said, "These are all the latest fashions from Hong Kong."

Manager Zhang noticed that the texture of these clothes was different from the popular Dacron on the street. The fabric of the tops was soft and flowing, the fabric of the pants was stiff, and the fabric of the jeans was very strong. Although the shoes were rubber shoes, they were not traditional Liberation shoes. They were a type of sneakers with novel colors and full of vitality.

Manager Zhang had seen the market and immediately realized that this batch of goods was more fashionable than the clothes they bought from the garment factory. He asked hurriedly, "Comrade Zhu, how many of these goods do you have? How much is it?"

Wen Qing said, "There are five styles of tops and pants, one hundred pieces each, and the shoes only have the most common sizes, a total of six hundred pairs."

Manager Zhang decided to take it all, and the two finally agreed that women's tops would be 17 yuan each, pants would be 14 yuan a pair, and shoes would be 13 yuan a pair, all in cash.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Qing drove a pickup truck and delivered the things to Shenjiayuan.

Wen Qing said to Manager Zhang, "It's better to iron these clothes before hanging them up for sale. I'll give you this iron."

Manager Zhang was very happy. An imported electric iron costs at least more than 2.33 yuan. He said to Wen Qing, "Comrade Zhu has really thought it through carefully." After counting the goods, Manager Zhang paid her yuan.

Wen Qing made more than 20,000 yuan in one day. She thought to herself that even if she didn't open a winery, she could take time to go to the port city to buy some things to sell. It would be easy to become a millionaire in two years and a small goal in five years. However, she wanted to do business and didn't want to take shortcuts.

Wen Qing called Zhuang Xien to find out about their operations.

Zhuang Xien said that production has now resumed. Fang Yuan contacted the Jinshi Bicycle Factory and prepared to do OEM for them. At the same time, he was preparing to produce the mountain bike and eight-speed gearshift kit designed by Wen Qing.

He talked to Wen Qing again, and they agreed to each raise another 9 yuan to purchase raw materials.

Wen Qing had no objection. She went to find Fang Yuan and gave him 9 yuan in cash. Fang Yuan gave her a receipt, indicating that each shareholder had lent 10 yuan to the bicycle factory.

Zhuang Xien, Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan had no funds and all went to the bank to borrow money.

40 should be enough to support the normal operation of Jizhong Bicycle Factory.
