Chapter 179: Gifts are exchanged
In the eyes of wine lovers in Chang'an City, Qilixiang is the best like Moutai in later generations, and there is no one.
As the Cui family shop that sells Qilixiang, he simply didn't even have a separate name for the shop, just the three shiny big characters of Qilixiang, which is better than any name.
Even the three characters of Qilixiang were written by the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun himself.
Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, the wealthy businessmen from all over the country, or the Hu people who came to Chang'an, basically no one dislikes Qilixiang.
Even the shopkeeper of Qilixiang sent Cui Qing's uncle Cui Xiangkun, in order to ensure that the signboard of Qilixiang would not fall permanently.
Early this morning, the Qili Xiang shop opened its doors to welcome customers as usual, and it was also like usual, with a full flow of people.
Whether it is a top restaurant like Wuheju, a green building like Yihong Mansion, or an ordinary inn like Yuelai Inn, there are people who come to buy Qilixiang.
Because there are no competitors, Qilixiang has always adhered to the attitude of loving not buying, not buying and pulling down.
It has always been the uniform price of the whole Chang'an, regardless of whether you buy one altar or a hundred altars, whether you are the procurement of Wuheju or the housekeeper of the national government, anyway, it is a big altar with ten yuan and one altar, five yuan from the middle altar, and two money from the small altar.
And because of the backing of Qinghe Cui's family, even during the period when Guanzhong suffered from drought, Qilixiang's liquor was never stopped.
How can you make money selling food and drinking!
Xi Junmai held two jars of wine in his arms and stood at the door of Qilixiang, with a sneer on his face.
"Your shopkeeper, call him out!"
Regardless of the fact that there were still people queuing up to buy wine next to him, Xi Jun came to the front by himself.
"This guest officer, if you want to buy wine, just line up in the back!"
"Humph! Buying alcohol? Who of you who sells fake wine will dare to buy it? ”
The guy was in the shop, but no customer had ever dared to do this to him, so he quit immediately.
"Who do you say sells fake wine?"
"It's about you Qili Xiang, selling fake wine, mixing water into the wine, what is the No. 1 wine in Chang'an, even the wine brewed casually in our palace can't compare."
"Hmph, this guest, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. We are not easy to mess with. ”
Qilixiang's guys also sensed that the comer was not good, and the guards in the shop also rushed out of the backyard one after another.
"Hmph, I, Xi Junmai, never talk nonsense, saying that if you sell fake wine, you are selling fake wine! Smash me! ”
With Xi Junmai's order, five or six Chu Wangfu guards behind him immediately rushed into the Qili Xiang Shop, raised a jar of wine, and smashed it on the ground.
Qilixiang's men and guards naturally quit.
First there was a push and a shoving, and then a fight began.
Nuoda's Qili incense shop, there are constantly "bang" and "bang!" "Ahh Voice.
The people who were originally queuing up to buy alcohol were frightened and retreated, but no one left, and they all watched the excitement from the sidelines.
Qilixiang sells fake wine?
This is no ordinary news.
If the wine you bought back is really fake, and the owner thinks that he deliberately dropped the bag and lost the money to buy the wine, it will be serious.
Besides, the guys in the Qilixiang shop don't have a good face every time they go to buy wine, as if everyone owes them money.
Therefore, everyone is also happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines.
In the winter, there is no pastime, the nobles can also play mahjong, what can they do as errands?
Maybe this scene in front of me will become the first major event in Chang'an City in the eight years of Zhenguan.
There was such a big movement in the shop, so that Cui Xiangkun, who was doing indescribable actions with the concubine in the backyard, rushed out, and he didn't even fasten his belt.
What caught his eye was a mess.
The guys and guards in the shop had been put to the ground, wailing incessantly.
There was a stream of wine on the ground, and there were people smashing the jar of wine.
"Stop!"
Cui Xiangkun shouted.
Xi Junmai saw the shopkeeper come out and motioned for everyone to stop first.
"You're the shopkeeper of Qilixiang?"
"That's right, the old man Cui Xiangkun has been a shopkeeper in Qilixiang for fifteen years."
Cui Xiangkun's face was pale, and anger erupted from his eyes, but unfortunately Xi Junmai didn't care at all.
"Hmph, why did you go earlier, I just told you that you didn't come!"
"In broad daylight, you actually dare to smash our Qilixiang, who gave you the guts? Lang Lang Qiankun, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to stand the anger of the Cui family? ”
"Who gave me the guts? Hahaha~" Xi Junmai laughed and said: "I want to ask Shopkeeper Cui, who gave you the courage to sell fake wine?" ”
"Every jar of wine I sell in Qilixiang is from the authentic Qinghe century-old cellar, and it is brewed from the best grain, where does the fake wine come from?"
Up to now, Shopkeeper Cui also knows that the most important thing is to make clear the matter of Qilixiang selling fake wine, otherwise there are so many people outside, and they don't know what it will become.
He had used similar tactics to bring down several liquor shops.
As for the economic losses caused by Xi Jun's buying and smashing of the shop, it is not what Cui Xiangkun is most concerned about.
"Hmph, when you bought wine, you guys were saying that Qilixiang is the best wine, the strongest wine, and the most fragrant wine in Chang'an City, right?"
"We're not wrong, Qilixiang is the best, strongest and most fragrant wine."
A guy who was not very seriously injured also crawled out of the ground after seeing Cui Xiangkun come out.
"That's right, what our shop guys say is also recognized by everyone, our Qili Xiang is the best wine in Chang'an City."
"Bang!"
Xi Junmai put the two jars of wine in his arms on the counter.
"This jar of wine was sold by your Qili Xiang shop, right? You can confirm it yourself first, and the province said that I did it. ”
When Cui Xiangkun saw the two jars, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
The guy behind him stepped forward and picked up the wine jar and looked around, then opened the wine jar and sniffed it forward, "Shopkeeper, this jar of wine is our Qili Xiang." ”
Cui Xiangkun didn't speak, took the wine jar, raised his neck, and a stream of wine entered his mouth accurately.
"That's right, this is indeed our store's Shichirika!"
After personally confirming that the drink was correct, Cui Xiangkun looked at Xi Jun coldly.
"Shopkeeper Cui should be a famous wine taster, so this jar of wine next to you, you can open it again and taste it, and see why I said that your Qilixiang shop sells fake wine?"
Xi Junmai saw that everything today was consistent with what the prince had described beforehand, and his heart was relieved.
Cui Xiangkun looked at the bottle of wine without any name on the counter, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
However, at this moment, he could no longer refuse.
Otherwise, the unwarranted rumor that Qilixiang Shop sells fake wine will spread all over Chang'an City in less than two days.
After thinking about it again and again, Cui Xiangkun picked up the jar of wine, opened the mouth of the altar quickly, and raised his head as he did just now.
"Poof!"
Xi Junmai had already prepared, and dodged to the side in an instant.
