Traveling through 70's wine

Zhao Wei said: "This is my friend's wine, I brought it here to try to sell it."

Wen Qing explained: "Brother Zhao, you may not know that this agency store only sells Changxia wine, and this store is also mine."

Zhao Wei looked at his father. Old Zhao nodded and was speechless. The three of them discussed the next step of cooperation.

Mr. Zhao immediately paid 8500 yuan to Wen Qing.

Zhao Wei felt that Changxia Liquor was not as good as Sichuan Liquor and Guizhou Liquor and wanted to expand the sales scope. However, Mr. Zhao felt that Changxia Liquor already had some fame in Yunnan and Yunnan and was unwilling to give up these customers.

After the three of them discussed it, Zhao Wei decided to rent the store and open a liquor store himself.

Out of respect for Mr. Zhao, Wen Qing lowered the rent by 20% below the market price, to only 2000 yuan a year, to be paid annually.

As for the payment for the goods, Zhao Wei still paid 10% up front and gave her a bank acceptance bill to be paid six months later.

After the discussion, the two signed the rental agreement and purchase and sales contract again. Zhao Wei found a friend at the People's Bank of China and got the bank acceptance bill processed.

Wen Qing once again sent 9000 bottles of liquor this time, with a total value of 6.75 yuan, and took 8750 yuan in cash and a six-month bank acceptance bill of 6.075 yuan.

Mr. Zhao felt a little sorry for Wen Qing, but Wen Qing comforted him and said, "Mr. Zhao, you should take care of yourself now. Brother Zhao Wei is still very business-minded, so you don't have to worry."

Wen Qing was very happy. She had cooperated with Mr. Zhao for a long time and was grateful to him, so he provided the house and goods for free. Their cooperation was based on trust, which was actually not guaranteed.

Now that the mode of cooperation has been clarified and they have the bank acceptance bill, she is no longer afraid of Zhao Wei defaulting on the funds.

After finishing her business, Wen Qing went to the South Road Flea Market.

Before the Spring Festival, the flea market was very lively. She found that there were great changes here, with more people buying and selling things and a richer variety of goods.

Wen Qing was wandering in the market and found a piece of agarwood and a string of Tibetan Dzi beads on a street stall. The agarwood was two feet long and eight tenths wide. The Dzi beads looked very old, but there was a strange energy when holding them in the hand. Wen Qing spent 1000 yuan to buy the two items.

In a used bookstore, Wen Qing bought a book on marine fish and a book on herbal medicine, both of which were illustrated with text. Wen Qing found them interesting and planned to read them on the train.

She was wandering aimlessly in the market, and when she reached an antique shop, she smelled a fragrance. She pushed the door open and saw Tibetan incense burning inside. It was a small shop selling Tibetan items.

The people of Yunnan and Yunnan began to believe in Tantric Buddhism during the Nanzhao era, and Tantric-related items are quite popular here. This store sells prayer wheels, thangkas, prayer beads, alms bowls, and a sound bowl that makes pleasant sounds when tapped with a wooden hammer.

Wen Qing bought a piece of beeswax, a thangka and a sound bowl for only 780 yuan. The shop girl gave her a box of Tibetan incense and said, "Sister, burning this kind of Tibetan incense while meditating can easily help you enter a state of concentration. Burning this kind of incense when not meditating can also make you feel peaceful."

Wen Qing thanked her and seeing that it was getting late, she took a bus to the train station and bought a ticket back to Pingjing.

Back in Erxia Village, it was time for Wen Qing's winery to conduct its year-end financial statements. This was the first year of the winery's operation. The winery produced 3 kilograms of wine, sold 2.1 kilograms of wine, and made a net profit of 3 yuan. Wen Qing gave Wang Jianguo and Liu Quan a bonus of 300 yuan each, which was equivalent to their 10 months' salary. He also gave 19 new employees a red envelope of 50 yuan, which was equivalent to 2 months' salary.

Everyone was very happy. The new employee started working in October and he already earned 100 yuan in just two months, which was indeed very high for a rural person.

Captain Liu praised Wen Qing for being honest and not mistreating the villagers.

Wen Qing said to Captain Liu, "Uncle Village Chief, didn't you say you had hawthorns for sale in the spring? Are you still selling them now?"

Captain Liu asked: "You want to make hawthorn wine? How much is the purchase price of hawthorn?"

She was planning to make hawthorn wine, which was relatively cheap, so she could only buy it for 2 cents per pound.

Captain Liu was very surprised. He just said that in spring, but Wen Qing remembered it.

That large hawthorn forest can produce about 2 kilograms of hawthorn fruit. Originally, the hawthorns on the mountain were just picked by everyone and were worthless. Now Wen Qing buys them at 2 cents per kilogram, so he can make some money.

Captain Liu went back and reported the news to the villagers. He organized manpower to pick the hawthorns and agreed to pick only good fruits. The money from selling the hawthorns would be distributed together at the end of the year.

Wen Qing arranged for workers to purchase hawthorns and went to find Zhuang Xien herself.

Before the Spring Festival, the business of Xunda Bicycle Shop was booming. Zhuang Xien and his three employees and six cashiers were busy receiving customers.

At the end of the year, units with good operating performance will give bonuses to their employees. After receiving the bonuses, young people will buy something to reward themselves. Nowadays, bicycles are the favorite of young people, just like cars in the past.

Schindler has many bicycle brands and they can be modified, so many people come to buy bicycles.

Wen Qing was very happy to see this. She was also a shareholder. She greeted Zhuang Xien and the two went outside the store to talk.

She asked, "Brother Zhuang, do you still want to buy a house? How big should you buy?"

Zhuang Xien said: "I only have 5000 yuan now. I heard from Fang Yuan that I can get a loan, so anything under 1.5 yuan is fine."

Wen Qing nodded and said, "I'll go ask and come back this afternoon to give you an answer."

I rode my bike to the Housing Management Office to find Section Chief Li.

Wen Qing came to Section Chief Li's office carrying a chicken and a rabbit. Section Chief Li's agency business was booming and his entire appearance had changed completely.

When Wen Qing first met him, he was wearing an old Zhongshan suit with patches on the sleeves and hem.

Now he is wearing a well-fitting suit. Although the workmanship is not very good and the style is too fitted for Wen Qing, Section Chief Li feels good about it and exudes a sense of confidence.

Wen Qing put the chickens and rabbits aside. Section Chief Li quickly declined and kept asking Wen Qing to sit down and rest.

There was a stove burning in the office and the temperature was a bit high. Wen Qing took off her long cotton coat, revealing the sweater underneath.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wen Qing asked, "Uncle Li, I have a friend who wants to buy a house. Do you have any houses available?"

"What kind of house?"

"A yard is the best, followed by a bungalow."

Section Chief Li took out a notebook from the drawer and said, "There are three courtyards. One is the one you saw last time in Balizhuang. It has three rooms and is 80 square meters. The owner wants 1 yuan. Another one is in Jingcheng Road, North City. It has four rooms and is 90 square meters. The owner wants 1.5 yuan. Another one is by the Yongding River in South City. It has four rooms and is more than 80 square meters. The asking price is 1.2 yuan."

Wen Qing wrote down the house information and said, "I'll tell my friend and get back to you."

Wen Qing invited Section Chief Li to have lunch, and then Section Chief Li sent the things home. Wen Qing went to the store to find Zhuang Xien.

After telling Zhuang Xien about the three houses, he thought about it silently, considering the surrounding environment and the problem of his children going to school in the future, and finally said, "Let's go to these three places first."

In the afternoon, Zhuang Xien handed the store over to Fang and Lin, and went to the Housing Management Office with Wen Qing.

Section Chief Li accompanied them to three places. The courtyard in the south city was near the South Railway Station, in a messy alley. The houses were built with stone and brick and were relatively old.

The yard in the north city is more than ten kilometers away from the Schindler store, which is too far to ride a bike to, mainly because there are no good schools nearby;

The courtyard of Balizhuang is just behind the Normal School. Although it is the smallest of the three houses, the house is well preserved and close to Schindler Store, only half an hour's ride away, and the price is the lowest.

Zhuang Xien said, "Let's go to the house in Bali Village."

Although there are only three houses, it is enough for them to live in after marriage. He now has 5000 yuan and only needs to take out a loan of 5000 yuan, which is less stressful for him.
