On the first day of June in the eighth year of the Xuan calendar, it was sunny.

Today is the day when Yu Fu Ji Xiangquan and Tianol are officially put on sale, Chunxiu thought that the young master would definitely go, she even arranged a carriage, but the young master did not go.

Fu Xiaoguan was looking at a roster, which was a list of craftsmen collected by Zhang Ce, the housekeeper of the Xishan Courtyard a few days ago.

There are stonemasons, carpenters, lacquer makers, shavers, and even pig slaughterers.

Fu Xiaoguan looked at it very carefully, occasionally frowned, occasionally smiled, and after half an hour put down the list, walked a few steps back and forth in the courtyard, sat down again, picked up the pen and circled a name.

Feng Laosi, forty-six, stonemason. In the first year of Xuanli, he moved to Xia Village due to the drought in the north, and his wife Yu had two sons under his knees, the eldest son Feng Dong, who was good at carving, and the second son Feng Xi, who was vigorous and had no expertise. Feng Laosi can distinguish the good and bad of stones, understand the view of mountains, and the stones within a radius of dozens of miles in the lower village are all excavated by this person.

"Xiu'er, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting."

"Oh."

Fu Xiaoguan wrote a note to Zhang Ce, asking Zhang Ce to bring Feng Laosi to the Fu Mansion to see him.

"Send this out."

"Good...... Young master, today is the first day of June. Chunxiu took the slip and didn't move.

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Yu Fuji, aren't you going?" Chunxiu was a little anxious.

"Oh, there's nothing to go to, they can handle it after Shopkeeper Huang."

Chunxiu bit her lip and didn't say anything more, turning to leave, thinking to herself, is the young master confident, or is he worried that the scene there is too cold and face-saving?

A large number of people in the Fu Mansion are watching, the young master has made such a big move, if there is not even a splash in the place of Yu Fuji today...... Will the young master be hit?

It's useless to think about it, so Chunxiu decides to sneak a look for herself.

Fu Xiaoguan returned to the study and prepared to continue writing his dream of the Red Mansion, and he had just finished writing the fifth chapter

But what about Chunxiu?

Why hasn't this girl come back yet?

It's unreliable!

Fu Xiaoguan only sharpened the ink by himself, then sat down to pick up the pen and wrote on the paper:

"In the sixth round, Jia Baoyu tried the clouds and rain for the first time, and Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion."

“…… When the attacker came to tie his trouser pocket, he just reached to his thigh, only to feel cold and sticky, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand......"

This time, Fu Xiaoguan's writing was quite slippery, and those plots passed through his mind like a movie, and the pen wandered on the paper without pause.

And then...... A voice came from outside the window.

"Young Master! Master! ”

Chunxiu rushed over, swept by like the wind, and immediately interrupted Fu Xiaoguanquan's thoughts.

This girl......

Fu Xiaoguan put down his pen, of course, he didn't blame Chunxiu.

"Young Master......"

Chunxiu ran in, patted her chest with one hand, her chest trembled and gradually quieted down, she gasped twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Young master, eighteen miles of lane...... A sea of people! ”

Yu Fuji is in Eighteen Mile Lane.

Fu Xiaoguan looked at Chunxiu with a smile, this little girl, I usually don't pay attention, but she is so big.

"Isn't that normal?"

"Young Master knows?"

"Of course."

"I squeezed in to see, the shopkeeper Huang asked me to ask you, can you raise the limit a little, those guests were very angry, saying that the fragrant spring is only half a catty, and the heavenly alcohol is only three taels, which is too little, can it be doubled?"

"Absolutely not, remember, you can only sell according to this requirement, and you must send a special person to watch it, in case someone buys it a second time, send someone to tell the Huang shopkeeper, and close it immediately as soon as the time comes."

"Oh."

Chunxiu ran out again, Fu Xiaoguan regained his mood and continued to write about his dream of the Red Mansion.

……

A carriage and several guards stopped at the entrance of Eighteen Mile Lane.

Yu Hongyi lifted the curtain of the car, and Yu Wenyun gasped when he looked at it.

"It's ...... Gathering a crowd to make trouble? ”

A girl in a green dress sweated profusely, ran to the carriage, and whispered, "Princess Jiu...... There is no way in front, there are too many people. ”

"What is this for?"

"Yu Fu Ji's wine is on the market today, and these people are here to buy wine."

Yu Wenyun's mouth opened, crazy! She said to the girl, "Lilac, go and find a way to buy two jars." ”

Lilac shook her head and replied, "Princess Jiu, the wine of Yu Fu Ji ...... Each person can only buy a little bit per day, half a catty of fragrant wine, and the heavenly wine that is comparable to the fragrance can only be bought three taels. ”

Can you still sell like this?

Yu Hongyi was suddenly angry, I can't buy wine without giving me face!

Yu Hongyi opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, but Yu Wenyun grabbed him, "Come back!" ”

"Lilac, take these guards to buy wine, and go back to the Prince's Mansion directly after buying, and we will go to Linjiang Academy."

"What are you doing at Linjiang Academy?"

"Go visit Qin Lao."

……

In the Qi wine shop opposite Yu Fuji, the young owner Qi Yuanming has 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart at the moment.

The threshold on the opposite side has been broken, but what about your own shop?

When he was depressed, several people entered his shop, and he immediately laughed and got up to greet him personally.

"Guest, what kind of wine? Our store's Yaoxiang ......"

A scholar interrupted him, and the scholar looked shy and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, there are too many people, squeezing us in, we will stand in line for a while and leave, you are busy and don't bother!" ”

“……”

Qi Yuanming gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and saw his shopkeeper walk in.

"Young owner, grab two bottles, take a look."

"This is Xiangquan wine." Qi Yuanming took the blue bottle and looked at it carefully.

The bottle is very exquisitely made, the bottle body is written with the four characters of Xishan Xiangquan, and there are thirty-two degrees written below.

"This thirty-two degrees, Yu Fu Ji's interpretation is the standard of wine, which is what we usually call the intensity."

Qi Yuanming frowned and asked, "Is his wine sold in bottles like this?" ”

The official nodded and replied, "The other side said that in the future, they will only sell bottled wine." ”

"How much does this wine cost a bottle?"

"This fragrant spring is half a catty of wine in a bottle, and the price is two hundred and fifty wen. On this day, a bottle of wine is three taels, and a crystal cup is given, the price is 900 Wen! ”

"What?"

Qi Yuanming jumped up in fright, where is this special selling wine, this is obviously robbing money!

Three taels of wine is nine hundred wen, no, how much is my family's Yaochun wine three taels? Forty-five texts!

This special bottle of wine is going to buy me this vat!

"Young owner, now it's not a matter of price, it's the other side...... The problem of short supply. ”

Qi Yuanming calmed down and opened the Xiangquan wine, and a rich aroma of wine suddenly overshadowed the smell of wine in his shop.

He took the crystal cup, poured it, looked at it carefully, and drank it in one gulp......

Then I opened the wine again, poured a glass too, and drank it in one gulp......

"Give me an appointment with the shopkeeper of Yu Fuji, no, make an appointment with the young master of the Fu family, tomorrow at noon, I will invite him to Linjiang Tower for a gathering."
