Chapter 81: Sorghum Wine (Part 2)
After Li Chengqian finished scolding Liu Linfu of the Ministry of Officials, the price of fruit wine in Chang'an City fell somewhat, because Zou Fengchi had already come to him at this time to talk about fruit wine.
Li Chengqian listened to Zou Fengchi chatting about the price of fruit wine, and smiled knowingly.
Let you do it again? Don't you have to get the price back in the end?
"Really? Then the Wang family is so angry that they want to die? The price is also back to the previous level!? ”
"That's it, the villain also made a lot of purchases according to your wishes, and we will buy as much as they want. They were probably afraid that the government would investigate and did not dare to hide the fruit wine privately, and at the same time, they also began to transport the fruit wine from the area near Chang'an to sell it. Not only that, but in recent days, our thousand-day drunkenness has been put on the process again, and the business is even better than the day it first opened. ”
In this way, his business will only get bigger and bigger.
"Hmph, a small Wang family dares to go against this king, it is simply self-defeating!"
Li Chengqian has unique information, and he has not directly clashed with them, as long as he has a relationship with the above, he is not scared to death as a Wang family, after all, this people do not fight with officials since ancient times, no matter how strong their Wang family is, they have to operate under the rule of Li Tang.
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is amazing! ”
Suddenly, Li Chengqian asked: "By the way, how about this fruit wine?" ”
Speaking of which, it is necessary to involve the wine yield of fruit wine, the alcohol content in ancient times was low, and more water was added, so the wine yield was naturally not low.
Zou Fengchi was a little surprised, why did he suddenly ask this.
But he still replied: "One pound of fruit, at most two taels of fruit wine!" ”
This is the limit, in fact, there must be a lot of wear and tear.
Li Chengqian said bluntly: "That's just a waste!" No, we'll have to make some of our own wine. In doing so, we don't put ourselves in a passive position! ”
Li Chengqian has his own ideas and wants to make his own wine.
"But the wine-making cycle is too long, sometimes it takes two months, the fruit is scarce now, and the investment is large, the wine is not high, and the small ones are afraid of ......."
Because of this relationship, the price of fruit wine remains high.
Most of it is spent on labor, and if Li Chengqian wants to make wine, he has to solve these problems.
But these problems are not a problem for Li Chengqian.
Because he has a mastery of winemaking, he can make any wine.
"Don't be afraid, these are not things, this is a recipe, you deal with it according to the king's recipe, and in less than a month, you can get good wine!"
After finishing, Li Chengqian handed Zou Fengchi a note, which was written about winemaking.
"This ...... Can sorghum make wine? Is it not only edible? ”
Zou Fengchi took a look, and there were a few capitals written on it, the method of brewing sorghum wine.
In their opinion, sorghum is for eating, not for brewing.
"You also eat the fruit, so how can you make wine? Why can't I sorghum? ”
The reason why sorghum liquor is made is because sorghum is an excellent material for making liquor. Most of China's famous liquors use sorghum as the main ingredient or auxiliary ingredient.
In addition to a large amount of starch, a moderate amount of protein and minerals required for winemaking, sorghum grains also contain a certain amount of tannins. Aroma substances such as syringic acid and syringaldehyde produced by tannins can increase the aromatic flavor of liquor. Therefore, sorghum varieties with a moderate amount of tannins are a good ingredient for making high-quality wine.
The unique taste is no worse than fruit wine, or even better than fruit wine!
If sorghum wine is launched, then Li Shimin's face is probably not good? After all, there is a more mellow existence than his fruit wine.
"This ...... The little man gave it a try! ”
Still want to try? You don't need to do it at all, just do it, it's like giving you a manual, you still can't do it? That's too vegetable.
"Also, sorghum should be purchased in large quantities at one time and brewed in a unified manner, if it is based on the method of this king, one pound of sorghum can produce six taels of wine!"
When Li Chengqian's words came out, Zou Fengchi was about to become an idiot.
That's three times the price of fruit wine, and the cost is reduced to a third, if not more.
Moreover, it is cheaper to buy raw materials than to buy finished fruit wine, which is obviously the way.
The lower the cost, the higher the profit, and you don't have to be held back by others.
will not be controlled by the Wang family like before.
"And how long is this wine brewing?"
"Alcohol can be served in less than a month."
At this point, Zou Fengchi's whole person was almost surprised. This was completely beyond his knowledge.
Li Chengqian continued: "So, you have to continue to buy fruit wine until next month, when our sorghum wine is produced." At that point, we are no longer subject to others. ”
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise! ”
This sycophant was filmed, and Li Chengqian listened to it very well.
Cool and cool, you still have to do something.
Moreover, Zou Fengchi couldn't stay in the East Palace for too long.
"Okay, you can do it quickly."
"Yes!"
Zou Fengchi walked out of the East Palace with excitement.
Less than an hour after he went out, he came back again.
He looked hurried and panted and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good! Big things are wrong! ”
Li Chengqian was puzzled, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Then he asked, "Why are you back again?" What happened!? ”
"The Wang family has adjusted the price of fruit wine to ten times! Even if it's sold in limited quantities, what can I do? ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, the whole person was about to explode, they still dared to do this, were they really not afraid of death?
Therefore, his fiery temper came up directly.
"What! This Wang family is really hard to bite! Dare to raise prices! What do those people eat? It's really bold! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian felt that he must go to the official department this time and teach these guys who only eat and don't work for a good lesson.
He also felt that in the subtle way, there was a force that seemed to be limiting himself.
This could not be done like this, so he said:
"Okay, you go down first, this king will naturally deal with this matter! As for the thousand days drunk, it is still sold in limited quantities these days, and it cannot be broken! As for the sorghum matter, we must solve it as soon as possible, and we must not let the opponent know, for fear that it will be unfavorable to us. ”
Zou Fengchi was stunned for a moment, he had never seen Li Chengqian so angry.
"The little one understands!"
"Alright, let's go down!"
"Yes!"
And Li Chengqian called Xue Rengui and Feng Xiaoyue to go to Shangshu Province.
This time, you must make some big moves and let them know that they are not easy to mess with.
