Chapter 128: An Instant Hit
For several days, a news was circulating in the brothels of Chang'an Restaurant that a fine wine called Meishou was deeply loved by the palace, the palace and the relatives of the powerful.
The trend of Chang'an has always started from the upper class, and the drinkers can no longer hold back their desire for fine wine, and have asked whether they can drink this kind of good wine that even the Son of Heaven applauds.
Taibai Lou, the first of the top ten restaurants in Chang'an, took the lead in launching Meishou wine, and the news came out, for a while, wine customers came from all directions, so that the Taibai Building, which was a little light at noon, was also full.
The drinkers were scrambling to taste the new Meishou wine, and at this time, the shopkeeper clapped his palms and said loudly to the drinkers: "New and old customers, put down the chopsticks in your hands and listen to me." ”
Everyone put down their chopsticks and listened to the shopkeeper's explanation, and the shopkeeper said to everyone: "I know that everyone is here for Meishou wine, I want to tell you that there are two kinds of Meishou wine, one is called Meishou spring wine, a pot of forty Wen, it is twenty more expensive than the previous wine, of course, the wine taste is still slightly different, the other is called Meishou wine, that is, the kind of wine drunk in the palace and the mansion of the magnates, I'm sorry, the number of this wine is very small, and the store has only entered a small number of goods, Meishou wine is ten times per pot, mainly this wine is steamed and brewed, and it takes three years to brew it, It is said that the production is very small, and the price is of course very expensive. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, there was a sudden uproar in the restaurant, and they all scolded, "Ten times a pot of money, why don't you grab it?" ”
It's no wonder that everyone is angry, Datang's No. 1 wine Jiannan Burning Spring is only two times a pot of money, this Meishou wine that has never been heard of actually dares to ask for ten dollars?
Scolding and scolding, but since they came, everyone still couldn't help their inner curiosity, and ordered a pot of Meishou Spring Wine for forty Wen, forty Wen is just a small amount of money, and they don't regret being fooled.
Not long after, the bartenders brought out the Meishou spring wine, it is indeed ordinary turbid wine, everyone is not surprised, only forty yuan, of course, you can only drink turbid wine, do you still want to drink sake?
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip, tasted the product, it was not bad, the wine taste was stronger than the general turbid wine, it was indeed worth forty yuan, at this time, everyone had a thought, what is the taste of the Meishou wine of ten dollars?
At this time, someone suddenly slapped the table, "Ten times is ten times, my Tian Wenyi can't afford to drink a pot of wine, take a pot of Meishou wine!" ”
Many people recognize him, is the owner of the East City silver satin color silk shop Tian Wenyi, is a famous businessman in Chang'an City, the family is rich, although the status of the businessman is not high, but can taste a pot of wine that the emperor and the emperor's relatives can drink, for these businessmen is also a great psychological satisfaction.
Tian Wenyi didn't order Meishou wine before, not because he couldn't afford to drink it, but because he was afraid that if he didn't match the truth, he would be laughed at and wronged.
Now he can't care about so much, so he bets that Taibai Restaurant won't joke about his reputation.
In front of everyone's eyes, a bartender put a verdant porcelain wine bottle in front of Tian Wenyi, it is a high-grade celadon, and this wine bottle alone is worth the same money!
The celadon is printed with two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, eyebrows.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "It's the royal pen!" ”
Everyone suddenly understood, the two words of Meishou turned out to be the inscription of the Son of Heaven, and everyone's minds were suddenly suspended, and the rumors were not wrong at all, it was the wine that the Son of Heaven drank.
Tian Wenyi laughed, "I, Tian Wenyi, can actually drink imperial wine!" ”
It doesn't matter to him whether the wine is good or not, and the psychological satisfaction of drinking the royal sake far exceeds the satisfaction of the wine.
In front of everyone, he poured himself a glass of wine, the wine was clear and thorough, and a rich aroma of wine came to his nose, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”
He took the wine glass and drank it all, the hot breath gushed out of his throat, he was intoxicated for a long time, and sighed: "I can drink such a fine wine, I have not lived in vain in my life." ”
Although the performance is a bit exaggerated, the effect is very significant, the restaurant is very lively, and more than a dozen wealthy drinkers have asked for a drink.
More drinkers come together to see if they can buy a pot of wine together, and everyone can taste the wine.
At this time, the shopkeeper laughed loudly: "I forgot to tell you, in addition to this kind of one-pound celadon, there is also a kind of small porcelain bottle in one or two halves, which is always a bottle." ”
There is no need to buy together, and almost every drinker pays for a small bottle.
Although the same delicate and exquisite Yue porcelain small green bottle, although it is only one or two halves, the vast majority of drinkers can afford it, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than 300 bottles have been sold.
The stunning appearance of Meishou wine in Taibai Restaurant caused a sensation in Chang'an City, and the next day, the top ten restaurants in Chang'an all launched authentic Meishou wine, but in addition to the top ten restaurants, other stores only have Meishou Spring Wine.
On the one hand, it launched small bottle packaging to meet the needs of more levels of drinkers, and on the other hand, it only limited the top ten restaurants in Chang'an to sell authentic Meishou wine, and other restaurants sold fake wine, using the goodwill of the top ten restaurants to crack down on Li Gui's fake wine.
If the drinker wants to drink at home, you can also go to the West City Meishou Wine Store to buy, the only one to sell, there is no other branch, there is a mile queue in front of the West City Meishou Wine Shop, and each person is limited to one bottle.
At the end of this still hot summer, Meishou wine with mysterious origin became an instant hit in Chang'an and became the first Internet celebrity in Chang'an.
........
"Although the old lady is exhausted, the feeling of counting the money and cramping in her hands is still quite refreshing."
At night, Li Wenyu dragged her heavy legs and lay on the bed, although she was exhausted every day for half a month, but in just fifteen days, she made a net profit of 90,000 yuan, and their thirty percent of them also earned 27,000 yuan, this amazing accumulation of money made Li Wenyu have an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
What she is most anxious about now is not the problem of money, but the fact that half of the 300 koku sake in stock has been sold, and the other half can last for a month at most.
It takes at least a year for sake to be brewed, and a good sake for at least three years, and the reason why Meiju sake is so popular is not only because of its high intensity, but also because of the blended base sake that has been brewed in the sake brew for three years.
If you don't use three years of sake blending, the quality of Meishou wine will be reduced, which Li Wenyu can't tolerate.
So buying sake that has been brewed for three years has become her biggest heart problem.
Guo Song told her that this month is the most critical moment to create a brand, and it must not be out of stock, and the shipment can be controlled in the future, but not this month, it must be sold openly, so that the brand of Meishou wine will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and establish a reputation.
Fortunately, yesterday Li Wenyu broke through her lips and finally bought all the shares of Fuping Distillery at twice the price, not only the stable supply of Meishou spring wine, but more importantly, there were 500 stone in the cellar of the distillery to make sake for three years, which solved her urgent need.
But how long can these 500 stones last?
She still has to continue to look for the source of goods, thinking of this, Li Wenyu was upset for a while.
"Dead fatty, come and beat the old lady's legs, I'm going to fall asleep."
Suddenly, a scream outside frightened Li Wenyu to sit up, and pulled out a long sword from the wall, you must know that she is also a female Taoist from the Zixiao system, and her swordsmanship is not bad.
I only heard Zhang Lei smirking in the courtyard: "Lao Tzu applied anesthetic medicine to the flying knife, see if you dare to come next time?" ”
Li Wenyu rushed out of the room with a sword, "Fatty, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Lei snorted and said: "At noon, I saw a sneaky person circling around our store, I knew that there would be an uninvited guest tonight, and I was guessed, I rewarded him with a flying knife just now, and I guess I will explain the future somewhere now!" ”
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Li Wenyu glared at him angrily.
"Aren't you afraid that the lady will worry! This kind of little thing is taken care of by the husband. Zhang Lei patted his chest and said.
"Fart!"
Li Wenyu grabbed his ear and scolded: "Do you know if he came to steal wine or recipes?" Is there anyone behind the instructions? If you let him go, won't you leave a hidden danger? ”
"It must have been here to steal wine, who would have thought ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Wenyu was so frightened that he covered his mouth, dragged him into the room, closed the door and gritted his teeth and scolded: "You dead fat man, the old lady warns you one last time, if you don't hold back your mouth, I will cut your tongue!" ”
"Lady, don't be so nervous! It's not enough to talk about it at home? ”
"Then what are you doing with throwing knives at home?"
Zhang Lei was speechless, and said for a while: "Why don't we recruit a few more guys!" Or find someone to help me, I have to burn hundreds of pounds of wine a day, and I have to mix wine, and I am really tired of it. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Wenyu was so sleepy that his eyelids couldn't open them, and he muttered: "This kind of thing can be believed in by father and son, not even brothers." ”
"I mean that father and son are of the same heart, lady, let's have another son!"
Zhang Lei's eyes lit up, and he blew out the light.
"Lady, come.... I'll help you pinch your legs! ”
After only a moment, an angry shout came from the room: "Dead pig's head, where are you pinching?" ”
