5. Chapter V
Chapter 5
The tavern was small enough, but it was a low, dilapidated bungalow, a little dim and damp, and the skin of the walls had long since peeled off, leaving behind the uneven walls.
Along the corner of the wall is a slightly old black counter, covered with a thick layer of dust, which has obviously not been cleaned for a long time, and several large red wine jars stand above the counter, neatly arranged. As for the tables and chairs, they had long since been emptied, and the whole tavern seemed empty except for the corners.
"Han Gongzi, do you think it's okay here?"
Fang Zhuqing's face was flushed with embarrassment, if she had known that this place would be so dilapidated, she would definitely not have brought Han Jun over, how could someone from the imperial city live in such a dilapidated place.
A gust of cold wind blew into the house through the rotten wall, the broken paper on the door whirred, Han Jun shivered, although it was a little dilapidated here, it could still be used for decoration, and the wine jar and wine jar were ready-made, so she didn't have to buy them.
But the question is, can people live here? A gust of wind blew on this big night, and just thinking about it made Han Jun feel infiltrating, and he would be scared to death if he didn't freeze to death in the middle of the night.
Fang Tian was also a little embarrassed, after all, the place was what he was looking for, and just as he wanted to say something, Han Jun spoke.
"This place is very good, but Han Jun is clumsy, and he doesn't seem to have found a place to live here. β
"Han Gongzi rest assured, there is a small courtyard not far from the tavern, which can be used to live in people, if anyone takes the tavern, the small courtyard will also be given to him. β
The corners of Fang Zhuqing's mouth bent, and he pulled Han Jun to the back door and pointed to her, sure enough, there was an independent small courtyard standing alone not far from the back door, and a small path went straight to it, and it was convenient to go back and forth.
Looking along the path, Han Jun's eyes emitted a burst of surprise, this place was simply tailor-made for her!
"Thank you for the help of the little official and Brother Fang, the Jun Wine Shop will open another day, and Han Jun will definitely come to invite you!"
Han Jun is now full of self-confidence, after all, she is still very confident in her winemaking skills.
"What?!, Jun's Brewery?"
The two people on the side were taken aback by Han Jun's words, they originally thought that Han Jun would change the tavern into a restaurant or something else, why did they still want to open a tavern now?
"Is there any problem?" Han Jun saw that there was something wrong with the reactions of the two, so he touched his head and asked hesitantly.
Fang Zhuqing's face was full of confusion when he heard this, he pursed his lips, and glanced at Fang Tian as if asking for help, his own restaurant had already contracted all the wine business in the town, and ordinary small wine merchants were afraid that they would only go out of business, but how did she say this.
Fang Tian naturally understood what Fang Zhuqing meant, and euphemistically said the worries in the hearts of the two, but did not say that the two of them were also members of the Fang family.
Han Jun didn't care, as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, the wine she brews is good, and she is afraid that no one will come to drink it?
I'm afraid that everyone will rush to her tavern at that time!
At this time, she didn't realize the problem.
First of all, the wine in the palace is processed and brewed from the best materials, even the white rice is also the high-quality rice paid tribute by Jiangnan Rice, and even if this rice can be used with ordinary rice, but the taste will be worse.
But what about other materials? Take Baihua Brew as an example, its wine heart is the last flower on the golden needle tree in Mobei that withers in winter, without this flower, it is impossible to make Baihua Brew at all.
Secondly, even if she collects all these precious ingredients and really brews the wine, the price will definitely not be very low, so who can drink it?
Ordinary people drink wine, just to drink some cheap wine to find a momentary pleasure, those rich people may drink, but who will come to her tasteless and famous?
When the winery opened for three days and no customers entered the door, Han Jun knew that survival was really not easy.
"This kid's tavern is really good!"
Fang Tian was holding a new set of wine utensils in his hand, standing alone at the door of the Jun Wine Workshop, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, he put away his eyes and looked inside, a brand new table and chairs, the walls were all renovated and repainted, and even the roof of the dew wind was covered with tiles as dense as fish scales.
The momentum of some new store openings! He sighed silently in his heart, and his impression of Han Jun was a little better.
"Boy, why are you so unenergetic, no one dares to come in and drink like this!"
Looking at someone who should have been happy but his head was drooping, Fang Tian was a little puzzled, could it be that the Fang family sent someone to bully Han Jun? But it is also unlikely, Brother Fang Yue is not this kind of person.
"It's been three days, and no one has come in to buy my wine. Han Jun supported his chin with both hands, holding his newly brewed Drunken Chun Qi in his arms, this is the only kind of wine that can be made with ordinary ingredients, but the steps are a little more troublesome than other wines.
"By the way, didn't the little official come with you?" Han Jun looked behind Fang Tian with a strong spirit, but still didn't see Fang Zhuqing's figure.
"It is estimated that she was locked up by her brother again," Fang Tian snickered, there was definitely only one reason why Fang Zhuqing didn't go out, and that was to be confined by her brother, "What kind of wine are you, give me a taste." He took the new wine utensil in his hand, took the wine jug from Han Jun's hand, and poured himself a glass.
"It's quite fragrant!" Before he took the wine glass and raised it to his mouth, he smelled a fragrance, like spring grass, and took a sip, the wine flowed through his throat to the limbs, first sweet and then bitter, causing people to reverie infinitely, it was really a good wine!
"This wine is really good!" Fang Tian only felt that it was different from the rough wine he had drunk before, and he couldn't tell what was different, even more charming than the good wine of Fang's restaurant, his mouth smashed for a long time, and finally he only held back the sentence, "There is connotation." β
His words made Han Jun feel a lot better, and seeing that no one would come when it was dark, he simply gave him this pot of wine.
"Boy, it shouldn't be, this wine is much better than ordinary wine, how can no one come to buy it?" After receiving Han Jun's wine, Fang Tian also wanted to analyze and analyze the situation for her, otherwise if this continued, within a few days, this tavern would be closed again.
"I don't know. Han Jun shook his head, picked up the wine and poured himself a glass, the bitter wine went down, and the smell of wine in her stomach went straight up, burning the corners of her forehead dripping with sweat.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, and the price isn't cheap!" Gently putting down the wine glass, Fang Tianyi pursed his lips and guessed in a low voice, but he got to the point.
"A tael of silver and a pot, is this still expensive? I'm about to lose it!" Han Jun couldn't laugh or cry, not to mention the cost of the materials, in order to make this wine, she stayed by the wine pot all night, and it was not too much to collect one or two silver.
The people who listened secretly smacked their tongues, one or two pieces of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend for several days, this price is indeed expensive for ordinary people, no wonder they can't afford it. However, if it is sold to the rich, Han Jun's wine still has great potential.
"Han Jun, the price of your wine is also drunk by rich people, if you want to sell it to them, you have to take advantage of an opportunity, there is a wine tasting conference in the town at the beginning of next month, you take your wine to participate, if you become famous in one fell swoop, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it in the future." Fang Tian's face was rare and serious, and what he said was indeed the truth.
"It's just that it's still a full month and a half before thenβ"
Han Jun nodded, naturally knowing what he meant by this last sentence, within this half a month, if he didn't develop another kind of wine to replace Zuichun Zhen, Jun Wine Workshop might not be able to survive the wine tasting conference and would go out of business.
