Chapter 42: Selling Crazy!
So, Lu Bu hurriedly gathered a group of civil and military personnel and asked them to go with him to see the wine and salt produced, and see what was different from the wine and salt of this era.
Under Lu Bu's summoning, soon, a group of civil and military officers entered the main hall of Wenhou Mansion with curiosity, and when they arrived, they found that Lu Bu had already sat on the main seat of the head and waited for them!
"Lord!" Seeing Lu Bu, everyone didn't dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully to salute Lu Bu.
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded, then waved his hand, motioning for everyone to take their seats.
After everyone was seated, two guards from the Wenhou Mansion walked in from outside at the right time.
One of the guards held a large clay pot in his hand, but the mouth of the pot was sealed; The other guard held a clay bowl for eating, but the bowl was also covered by a lid that obscured its contents.
What was inside the clay pot or bowl was something that the people in the main hall could not see!
However, something suddenly came to mind, and a group of civil and military officers quickly reacted, could it be that the things inside were the wine made by Lu Bucha and the salt from the sun? !
Everyone smelled the smell of wine wafting out of the clay pot held by one guard, and then looked at the pottery bowl that the other guard was also holding but covered with a lid, and the contents of the two made Lu Bu's civil and military officers full of curiosity!
Seeing the curious look of the Wenwu on the left and right of the lower place, Lu Bu stopped playing dumb riddles with them, so as not to destroy their curiosity.
So, Lu Bu looked at the guard holding the clay pot, nodded to him, and signaled that he could open the sealed clay pot.
"Bang!" At Lu Bu's signal, the sealing of the clay pot was soon lifted by the guard.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine filled the entire main hall, making everyone who smelled the fragrance of wine suddenly fragrant, making them flutter!
Even Lu Bu is the same!
"My lord, is this the wine you sent someone to make with distillation techniques? How can it be so mellow?! Zang Ba, who was a good wine, immediately exclaimed.
The rest of the main hall was the same, more or less fond of drinking when they had free time, and were amazed for a moment.
Even Gao Shun, who has strong self-control and is not good at drinking, smells such a mellow aroma of wine, which makes him have an urge to try it, wanting to pour a little wine out of the wine jar and then take a few sips!
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded, and then motioned for the guard to pour it for everyone in the main hall to give them a taste.
In front of everyone, they had already prepared a wine bottle and placed it there, and the guards holding the wine only had to fill them one by one.
Immediately, the guards walked in front of everyone, and after filling everyone one by one, under Lu Bu's instructions, everyone could raise their glasses and drink.
However, because the alcohol made by distillation technology has a relatively high degree, forty or fifty degrees, which is much higher than the alcohol of the late Han Dynasty, Lu Bu was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to such a high degree of wine for a while, so Lu Bu wanted to remind them to drink slowly.
"Everyone, because the degree of the wine is ......" It's just that Lu Bu hasn't finished speaking, where are Zang Ba, Li Ru and others, who are anxious to taste the wine in the wine bottle, still waiting, smelling such a mellow aroma of wine, under Lu Bu's instructions, everyone sent the wine bottle to their mouths, and they didn't have time to listen to Lu Bu's prompts behind.
As soon as the wine was in its mouth, everyone couldn't get used to it for a while, and they were choked immediately, but everyone was a good drinker, and they quickly got used to such a high number of wines, and then shouted in unison: "This wine...... Fierce enough! It's delicious! Delicious! ”
Drinking such a mellow wine at once, everyone sighed again and again, and at the same time sighed that their lord Lu Bu was so familiar with winemaking, and used distillation technology to brew such a high-degree and mellow wine, which is simply a jade liquid that only exists in myths and legends!
Soon, the wine in everyone's wine bottle was drunk by them, and even Gao Shun, who has always been a bad drinker, couldn't resist the temptation of mellow wine, and drank a lot of it at once!
Gao Shun's resolute face suddenly turned red!
Lu Bu saw that everyone had drunk a big bottle of wine and wanted to drink it again, the degree of the wine was so high, Lu Bu was afraid that they would get drunk, and then they wouldn't be able to see anything else!
Therefore, Lu Bu hurriedly asked another guard to open the lid of the pottery bowl he was holding.
As everyone guessed, the two guards were indeed holding wine and salt in their hands.
The contents of the pottery bowl held by the other guard were indeed the salt that Lu Bu had dried by the salt drying method.
The salt in the pottery bowl is snow-white and snow-white, without a little impurity mixed in it, and it looks particularly good.
The people in the main hall who wanted to drink were immediately attracted by the snow-white salt in the hands of the other guard.
They only feel that these salts are very beautiful, they don't need to think about it, they are beautiful and delicious, and the taste of the salt must be very delicious!
Seeing that the civil and military forces under the tent had completely lost their usual demeanor at this time, Lu Bu felt a burst of amusement, fortunately, Lu Bu came from the 21st century and was well-informed, otherwise he would be like them, like a bun!
Lu Bu smiled, and then motioned to the guards to hold the salt in the pottery bowl one by one in front of everyone, and let them taste it as if they had just had a fine wine.
The salt was salty, and when the guards brought it to them, they dipped it in a little bit with their little fingers and put it in their mouths.
The snow-white salt melts in the mouth, and when everyone tastes the taste of salt, their eyes immediately light up, and they only feel that if they use these particularly good-looking salts to cook, the dishes must be particularly delicious!
At the same time, everyone thought that as long as Lu Bu had wine and salt that were different from this era, if he sold them, he would definitely sell them like crazy!
At that time, the money and food you want will not be like a snowball, rolling in, and then piling up all over the big treasury in Wen County!
As everyone thought, Lu Bu had two profiteering products, wine and salt, and as soon as they were sold, they were indeed crazy!
Lu Bu also gave each of them a nice name, the wine was called 'Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid', and the salt was called 'Snow Salt'!
The price of the jade liquid and snow salt by Lu Bu was extremely high, anyway, those poor people could not afford it, but the main consumers of the jade liquid and snow salt were those who were powerful and powerful.
They are not short of money, all they lack is good wine and delicious and good-looking salt, so they spend a lot of money and send their subordinates to Wenjun here to buy elixir and snow salt.
The merchants of the Han Dynasty also came from afar, trying to cooperate with Lu Bu, so that they could buy a large amount of elixir and snow salt at one time, and then pull it back and sell it to the local warrior Haoqiang!
For these traders with strong one-time purchasing power, Lu Bu is naturally willing to cooperate with them, and even gave them an eighty-fifty discount, so that they can save a little more, and then come to Wenjun again, cooperate with Lu Bu again, and purchase agar jade liquid and snow salt in a big way!
Even the alien tribes in the northern frontier were attracted by Lu Bu's elixir and snow salt, so they also went to Wenjun to buy them.
Lu Bu was also willing, because Lu Bu had already coveted their vigorous war horses and fat cattle and sheep on the grassland, as long as they could exchange their war horses, cattle and sheep, they would give them as much as Lu Bu wanted, anyway, wine and salt were not strategic materials like weapons, armor, grain and grass!
In order to meet the demand of the market, Lu Bu can only expand the scale of the winery and salt farm, recruit more winemakers and salt drying workers, and increase the production of agar jade liquid and snow salt!
At the same time, the increase in the flow of people has also driven the economy of Wenjun, making Wenjun, a wild land, suddenly rich and lively.
