Chapter 164: The Advent of Baijiu

But some people are happy, and some people are worried, because Wang Xuan has expanded his business territory so aggressively, and the catering industry of five surnames and seven families in Chang'an has almost been directly collapsed by Wang Xuan, but they have nothing to do with Wang Xuan.

Even their tea business has plummeted because of the emergence of the royal tea estate.

At first, they didn't think about using means to poach people, but in the end, they didn't succeed, and they didn't know the technology here, so they could only look at it like this, and even Wang Xuan's expansion beyond Chang'an, they didn't have any way at all.

After all, Wang Xuan himself is a Tang noble, and there is the entire royal family standing behind him, so it is impossible for them to use their power to suppress people or use the power of the government like they did with other businessmen.

If they really use it, not to mention that it can't be effective, they may even accompany the person who did it.

So when they were envious, jealous and hateful, and even wanted to kill Wang Xuan, they had no choice but to secretly scold Wang Xuan for not being a thing, as a powerful person, he was actually doing business, and at the same time, he was also scolding Li Shimin for not being a thing, why not stop it, and not afraid of losing the royal face.

Obviously, when they scolded, they didn't realize that they didn't behave like this in the past! Now it's their turn, how can they change their faces again, it can be said that the double standard is too slippery.

However, compared with the unwillingness of the people of the family, Wang Xuan has lived a very comfortable life in the past few months.

Every day, I was calculating how much money I had earned, and I had opened a few stores there.

Of course, this is the first two months, this is the autumn, Wang Xuan's freshness has passed, and now every time he sees Li Fu and others coming over with the account book, Wang Xuan has a big head, and asks Li Fu and others to find Li Xin and Yang Yun.

"Master, this is this month's ............" No, today Li Fu came to Wang Xuan again.

"You give me a far death, didn't you say it all, go to Madame, go to Madame, go to Madame, everything in the accounts, go to Madame, why are you coming to me again, you see I'm idle!" Wang Xuan saw Li Fu coming again, threw the pen in his hand, and yelled at Li Fu.

"Master, the old slave came from Mrs., the second lady said, this is about to be the New Year, and the house has made a lot of money this year, is it to give some dividends to the next person during the New Year, and the second lady also said that it is going to be sent to the palace, let you take a look, no problem will let you send it" Li Fu stood aside respectfully, and carefully reported to Wang Xuan.

"Okay, okay, you put down the ledger first, and go out if it's okay! I'm annoyed" After listening to Li Fu's words, Wang Xuan said in annoyance.

"Then the old man is fine, the old slave will retire first" Li Fu saw that Wang Xuan was angry, and quickly said a word and withdrew.

"What is wrong with this roasted wine, why is it so difficult!" After Li Fu went out, Wang Xuan stood up a little irritably and muttered to himself.

It's no wonder that Wang Xuan is so irritable, all because the production of this liquor is unsatisfactory.

Originally, Wang Xuan thought that there was something difficult about this distilled liquor at first, wasn't it just that it was steamed with grain!

But when I started experimenting, I realized that it was not the same thing in the first place, and the wine did not come out, but wasted a lot of food.

Then Wang Xuan was unwilling, several experiments ended in failure, and in the end he didn't use grain, he directly used Datang to brew liquor, tried once, and that time distilled a pure flavor of liquor.

It was also at that time that Wang Xuan realized that his previous ideas were wrong, and the key step in making high-quality liquor was still a brewing word.

Only after the grain is fully fermented can the liquor be made.

But after finding a way and knowing the problem, Wang Xuan spent a lot of money to find several brewing masters to do the pre-cooking and fermentation process for him.

But when it came to the process, it took almost three months to find a good recipe because of the grain and koji used.

Although there was wine produced in the past three months, and the wine produced had a good aroma and taste, it was because the previous step of fermentation did not find a good recipe, resulting in a low wine yield and instability, which almost didn't make Wang Xuan anxious.

Although this made Wang Xuan very angry, for Qin Qiong and Li Shimin, who were already good at wine, they were happy to be able to drink this high-grade wine made purely from grain.

No, just two days after this liquor came out, they directly emptied Wang Xuan's cellar.

They don't care how much food this liquor wastes, anyway, in Li Shimin's words, you Wang Xuan are so rich, do you still care about such a little food?

When Li Shimin said this, he was so angry that he almost fought with Li Shimin again, if it wasn't for Li Xin and the others to pull them, the two of them would really have fought that day.

In fact, Wang Xuan will be so entangled, it is completely to find a recipe with a high wine yield, and the purpose is also to save food, Li Shimin said coldly, Wang Xuan is not angry, it is strange, after all, he Wang Xuan is saving food for you Li Shimin.

So when Li Shimin understood, he also admitted his mistake to Wang Xuan, but admitting his mistake was admitting his mistake, but when the wine was moved, there was still no pressure in his heart, and he even asked Wang Xuan to get more.

"Master, out of the wine, out of the wine, this time out of the wine, as much as half a stone, sir, we have succeeded, succeeded" Just when Wang Xuan was still depressed in the study, there were about fifty old people a year outside the door, like children, running towards Wang Xuan, shouting while running.

"What, out of the wine? And half a stone? Du Lao, are you saying that one stone of grain can produce as much as half a stone? Is that so? Hearing the old man's shout, Wang Xuan was stunned at first, and then ran out excitedly and asked the old man.

"Master, that's right, it's a stone of grain out of half a stone of wine, the old man has tried three times in a row, all of them are above half a stone, master, we have succeeded" Du Lao, at this time, he also said to Wang Xuan with an excited face.

"Good, good, good, Du Lao, you have to remember the recipe this time, so the process in the future, according to this time, but Du Lao, this corn wine is successful, but other grain wine, can not be relaxed, and different grain wine, the taste is different, the taste is not the same, this aspect you have to be on the snack, for these grain wine, I do not require the wine rate to reach the height of corn wine, but the taste, texture, aroma or something, must be good, of course, if there is a wine rate can reach the corn wine, that is okay, Remember? After Wang Xuan was happy, he gave Du Ming a new task.

"Master, don't worry! With this experience, as well as the experience of making wine with other grains so many times before, the old one is brewed for the master, and more good wine comes out" Du Ming heard Wang Xuan's order, saluted Wang Xuan respectfully, and promised to arrive.

"Okay, I want you to say this, after I go down, go to Li Fu, and say what I said, master, let him give you ten thousand dollars, this is a reward for you, go!" Hearing Du Ming's assurance, Wang Xuan said to Du Ming with a smile.

"Thank you, master, thank you" After receiving Wang Xuan's reward, Du Ming knelt on the ground with an excited face and thanked Wang Xuan again and again.
