Chapter 3 More More!
"Guest, can you order?"
Poked his head out of the door and entered, the little second brother of Qingyunlou asked with a frown.
It was noon, which was one of the most popular times of the day in Qingyun Tower, and the Turkic barbarian in front of him had been waiting in this box for a full two incense sticks. If he's a quick eater, it's time for him to start cleaning up the table.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Hurriedly walked to the door, Bahari said with a smiling face, and then casually stuffed two big coins into the little second brother. Although the other party is just a small second in a restaurant, he is also a Tang Dynasty after all, and for a Turkic merchant like Bahari, it is better not to offend.
The governor of Yongzhou in this year is not a good bird, and he treats foreigners quite coldly.
Flipping the two big coins in his hand, the shopkeeper's heart was happy, but there was a frowning look on his face: "Okay, then wait a little longer...... But objectively, I don't urge here, but it's hard to say on our shopkeeper's side. ”
Seeing Xiao Er's appearance, Bahari didn't understand, so he immediately nodded and said urgently: "Understand, understand, the person I made an appointment will come soon, and it will be ...... soon."
"This guest officer, in this box!"
At this time, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside, and then I saw another little second brother leading a tall man about thirty years old to the side of the box.
Seeing the appearance of the person from the other side, Bahari was immediately overjoyed: "Coming, coming!" Little second brother, get ready to order! ”
"Okay...... Guest, please inside! ”
The shopkeeper who collected the money just now also reacted very quickly, seeing that it was the appearance of a Datang person, and he held his head high, his temperament was good, and his face was immediately full of smiles.
After Han Lucheng entered the box, Bahari hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and after humbling each other, Han Lucheng took the menu brought by the shopkeeper, and immediately frowned: "Huh? There are also stir-fried dishes such as braised pork and braised pork ribs in your restaurant? ”
"Hehe, of course!"
Blinking his eyes, the shopkeeper said proudly: "Guest Officer 3.2 You may eat out less, I don't know that our Qingyun Building is also famous in the entire Chang'an City, this stir-fried food...... We had it at the end of last year! However, the two dishes of braised pork and braised pork ribs, our Qingyunlou has just been on for less than a month, and you came at the right time! ”
“…… Hehe! ”
His eyelids jumped wildly a few times, and Han Lucheng reluctantly suppressed the urge to give the shopkeeper a big mouth.
What a damn one!
If it weren't for the fact that the king had specially explained this matter and told Han Lucheng that they must not pursue outsiders learning to cook stir-frying, Han Lucheng would definitely go back to the house immediately and call a large group of people to smash this Qingyun Building!
Dare to sell the things of Han Wangfu for money, but you can't die?
It's a pity that the king didn't allow it, and even said something like "It's better to be happy alone, it's better to be happy with everyone", and Han Lucheng naturally had no reason to be angry. So after taking a deep breath, Han Lucheng waved his hand a little irritably and said, "Okay, just pick up your favorite dishes and make a few of them...... By the way, is there any wine? ”
"Yes, the best self-brewed liquor, objectively you want a jar?"
"Then come to a jar, faster!"
knew that the so-called liquor was made from rice, so at this moment, Han Lucheng suddenly wanted to drink the spirits brewed in the house, but after glancing at Bahari next to him, he suppressed this impulse again.
The king's emphasis on the tea and spirits business, Han Lucheng knows better than anyone else.
After the shopkeeper nodded and withdrew, the housekeeper of Han Wang's Mansion exhaled lightly, and the expression on his face instantly eased a lot.
Seeing him like this, Bahari suddenly smiled and said, "If that little second brother just now knew that all their stir-fried dishes flowed out of the Han Palace, and you were a big man in the palace, I don't know if you would be so scared that you would kneel on the ground, haha." ”
"Oh? You know it all? ”
Hearing this, Han Lucheng just raised his eyebrows and asked with a faint smile.
His eyes froze slightly at this moment, Bahari took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Mr. Han, please forgive me, it's not that Bahari deliberately wants to inquire about Mr. Han's affairs, it's really that I came to Chang'an this time to buy a lot of tea and spirits, so I have to find out!" ”
"Oh? Buying in bulk? ”
After hearing Bahari's words, Han Lucheng's heart jumped, and the little dissatisfaction just now instantly dissipated without a trace.
How much tea and spirits are produced in Han Wangfu, no one knows better than Han Lucheng. Today, Dawang has 5,000 acres of tea plantations in the south of the Yangtze River, and produces tens of thousands of catties of tea every year; Although the family's liquor workshop has not yet been fully built, the king has already instructed the blacksmiths to make twenty sets of distillation utensils, and if they are fully operational, there will be at least a thousand altars in a year......
So much tea and spirits, but it's all money!
Even if the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are not valuable, the manpower for planting and picking tea every year is not a small number, not to mention that the grain required to brew spirits is much more than ordinary rice wine and liquor, and the cost is quite high - there are very few people in Chang'an and Luoyang who love tea and spirits, and almost all of these things have been accumulated.
To tell the truth, the tea and spirits stuffed in the treasury made Han Lucheng, the chief butler of the Han Wangfu, panic.
Otherwise, Bahari, a Turkic merchant, would not be worth Han Lucheng's personal trip.
Seeing the flash of brightness in his eyes, Bahari's heart was relieved, and he quickly nodded: "Yes, Mr. Han, I plan to buy a thousand catties of tea and two hundred jars of spirits this year, I don't know where you are...... Do you have enough stock? ”
"Hehe, so much?"
While he was overjoyed in his heart, Han Lucheng's face remained silent, he just smiled and said lightly: "Bahari, to be honest, I'm really a little curious, after you transport these things to the prairie, there will really be a lot of people?" Can a thousand catties of tea and two hundred jars of spirits really be sold? ”
Nodding vigorously, Bahari's face was full of confidence: "Mr. Han, please rest assured, since Bahari dares to buy it, he will definitely be able to sell it!" ”
In front of Han Lucheng, Bahari really has nothing to hide.
The words he said after meeting Yinan Khan at the beginning, such as the benefits of drinking more tea, and the fact that spirits can warm up in winter, etc., were almost all taught to him by Han Lucheng, where did Bahari dare to use other reasons to lower the price?
And......
After a pause, Bahari opened his eyes and said seriously: "And I am sure that if Mr. Han can ensure the release of tea and spirits, I will not only be able to sell these things this year, but also more next year......
