Walking on the street of Xishi, Qing'er asked curiously: "Uncle, why do you think about doing business by yourself, why do you still want to find that Chen Dongzhu, the maid is not very surprised to see that Chen Dongzhu, just eat more and grow fatter." ”

Gu Bei smiled and rubbed Qing'er's little head, seeing that she was holding Xiaoqiong's nose and was disdainful, he laughed and said, "Then what do you think is so strange about my uncle?" My uncle is not doing business on his own, and the identity of the Bai family does not allow my uncle to come forward to run a cheap business, so my uncle needs to find a spokesperson. ”

Qing'er nodded her little head as if she didn't understand, and said with a natural face: "Uncle must be different, and the maid only knows that what Uncle did must be right." ”

Gu Bei sighed in his heart, the Bai family seems to be beautiful, and it is deeply favored by the saints, and secretly I don't know how many enemies covet it, and there is no successor, in case the favor is not there or the old man is gone, will Luo Shi bear it alone? Can those thin shoulders withstand it?

Gu Bei didn't know, he could only take advantage of the old man's presence to make some preparations, take precautions, and share the burden for Luo Shi. , who called him Luo Shifu-kun?

Although having money is not everything, it is impossible to have no money.

Gu Bei pondered secretly.

What he didn't know was that there was already a pair of eyes on him in secret.

Gu Bei and the others walked on this bustling, shop-lined street, with pedestrians coming and going.

"Get out of the way and catch the thief."

A coquettish voice came from behind, Gu Bei in contemplation was unconscious, but still continued to walk, and suddenly his right shoulder was pushed by something, his body stumbled forward, and he almost fell to the ground.

With Qing'er's support, he stood firm and turned his head to look, there was a young man and a girl standing in front of him, and the girl said coquettishly: "Are you deaf?" ”

"Is it reasonable to hit someone?" Before Gu Bei could answer, Qing'er angrily rushed up and scolded back.

Gu Bei glanced at the two people in front of him, and saw the girl's pink, smooth and charming face, soft curved eyebrows, a pair of shiny eyes with a greasy jade nose and a ruddy cherry mouth.

Gu Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up, although he had also seen a lot of beauties, but the big beauty in front of him, about twenty-eight, the eyebrows, eyes, facial features, Yao nose and cherry lips, was simply flattering, it was the kind of real feminine charm, this kind of charm was probably comparable to the dream girl he had seen before.

Although her own lady is also a graceful and luxurious beauty, the heroism between her eyebrows is heavier, and her facial features are not as charming as hers. Seeing the charming eyes on this girl's melon seed's face, people understand what the so-called fox spirit should look like.

She was wearing a moon-white dress, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she shouted to Gu Bei angrily, seeing him turn around, dressed in an indigo robe, dressed as a scholar, tall and tall, looking at her face with polite and polite faces, her facial features were quite handsome, and her eyes were very pleasing to the eye, and the anger on her face suddenly subsided a little.

Yu Jianqi saw that the thief was about to run away, so she didn't care about it anymore, so she chased after her husband a little bit.

"You..."Qing'er was about to say more, but Gu Bei interrupted her.

At this time, the young man next to him, in his early twenties, was wearing a Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were cold, his aura was lofty, and he was a little cold, standing up with a long sword in his hand and hugging his fist at Gu Bei, and explained with a stiff smile: "This benevolent brother, the little sister caught the thief and accidentally collided with you, I am here to compensate for the little sister, I hope you will forgive me." ”

After Gu Bei heard this, he knew that they were not intentionally offended, so he smiled and returned the salute: "It's okay, Brother Ren hurry up and chase Sister Ling!" , otherwise Sister Ling will suffer. ”

After hearing this, the young man glanced at Gu Bei and said indifferently: "In Xia Yujian Xuan, we will meet again." After saying that, he hurried forward and chased away.

Gu Bei smiled faintly, and when he saw that the two of them had run away, he continued to pace forward slowly with Qing'er.

Gu Bei entered the store when he saw it, and he was crazy at will, hoping to think of some new ideas to make a fortune, and by the way, he understood the market demand of various industries.

Walking aimlessly on the street, passing by a restaurant, just a little hungry, Gu Bei walked in with Qing'er.

The shopkeeper greeted him warmly, accompanied by a smile to inform that the wing room on the second floor was full, and with Gu Bei's consent, he led him to a vacant seat.

beckoned Gu Bei and Qing'er to sit on the bench, Gu Bei was still the first time to come to the restaurant in this era, and he didn't know what the dishes were, so the task of ordering was handed over to Qing'er, Qing'er ordered a few signature dishes, a pot of wine, and the shopkeeper went to the back kitchen to serve the food after drinking.

Gu Bei picked up the wine glass, looked at the yellow and turbid liquid in the wine glass, tasted the taste, and squirted out with a "poof", spraying Qing'er's face all over his face.

Qing'er hurriedly stood up and didn't care about wiping herself, took out a handkerchief she carried with her and wiped it for Gu Bei, patted his junior and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?" Didn't choke! ”

Gu Bei shook his head with a wry smile, and said curiously: "Qing'er, you don't feel that this wine is weird?" ”

Qing'er poured a glass of wine, picked it up and tasted it, and shook it suspiciously: "No, isn't this wine like this, uncle?" ”

Gu Bei was secretly puzzled in his heart, picked up the wine glass and licked it with his tongue, and said to Qing'er: "No, this wine obviously has a rancid taste with a little sourness, which is different from the wine at home." ”

"Uncle, of course the wine in Baifu is different from here, the generals under the command of the old man know that the old man loves to drink, especially good wine, and he will send some good wine to the door every New Year's Day, and those wines are specially brewed for the generals in the brewing workshop under the name of the military, and they are also tribute wines, and a batch of them will be sent to the palace every year. The burning knife wine is mellow and strong, and the old man likes it. Qing'er said with a smile.

Gu Bei muttered to himself, the burning knife is not fragrant, and it is estimated that the degree is about twenty degrees.

The liquor placed in the later generations is thirty or forty degrees at any bottle.

I used to watch TV and didn't understand why ancient people drank wine at every turn, blowing wine jars, holding wine bottles and drinking how they didn't get drunk, and they really didn't get drunk after a thousand cups.

The top nobles of the Bai family drank only a little more than 20 degrees of good wine, and Gu Bei estimated that the alcohol content of these restaurants was only a few degrees, which was lower than the beer degree of later generations.

With his stomach for a few bottles of beer, it is estimated that he is also a person who is not drunk with a thousand glasses here.

But think about it, the brewing process of this dynasty is not very developed, it belongs to the brewing of alcoholic fermentation and pressing, and it is not the distillation method used in later generations at all, and it is rare to reach more than 20 degrees.

If he used the distillation method of later generations to brew high-count fine liquor in this era, wouldn't it be a monopoly on this industry, and it could also drive the development of the entire industry, and it could enrich his pocket, which is really a good idea.

However, he didn't just want to make money, he just wanted to improve the quality of life of the princes and nobles, the rich, and the landlords of this dynasty.

Drinking these inferior wines every day, but they are not addicted, and they hurt their bodies, and they want to dispel their sorrows.

Gu Bei didn't expect that having a meal really made him collide with a new idea to make a fortune.

Thinking that after the wine is brewed, everyone can drink the wine he brews, and the people don't have to spend a small amount of money to drink these inferior wines, maybe they will give him the title of "wine king".

At that time, he will also be at the level of the king character. The more I thought about it, the more proud I became, and I laughed out loud.

Gu Bei saw that Qing'er was looking at him cutely, and the people at the table next to him also looked at him like idiots and continued to drink and whisper.

After half a ring, Qing'er anxiously stretched out her slender little hand and touched his forehead, and after feeling that it was not hot, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, are you drunk?" ”

Gu Bei glanced at her movements, and knew in his heart, alas, he tilted his head too much, and said with a wry smile: "Nonsense, my uncle's alcohol consumption is so bad." ”

Qing'er's beautiful eyes rolled her eyes, and she muttered in her heart, then why are you in a daze, and laughing, like a demon stunned, I don't know if you scared the maid to death.

After a while, the shopkeeper served the food, and bowed down with a polite greeting "The dishes are ready, the two of them use it slowly".

Qing'er gave him a dish, Gu Bei and the two of them ate in small bites, Gu Bei nodded secretly, the wine in this restaurant is not very good, and the food is really good.

When the food was fragrant, the discussion of several people at the table next to him came into his ears, and Gu Bei listened attentively.

"Brother Wang, have you read the latest divine book?"

"You're talking about that book?"

"It's the book "The Legend of the Great Sage and the Demon"!"

"Oh! Don't mention it, the book you mentioned, I stayed up late every day to read that book, and my studies regressed, and I was beaten by my master several times. The scholar surnamed Wang said listlessly.

"Do you know who wrote this book?"

"Cut, what's not you knowing, isn't it just the uncle of the Bai family who is famous at the poetry meeting, isn't it just that he wrote a poem and knows how many pairs." The scholar surnamed Wang took a sip of wine and said sourly.

"This Aunt of the Bai family is very good, and I have never heard of this person before, but since I married the eldest lady, it seems to have changed one, do you know?" Another white-clothed man said as he sold his son.

"Brother Chen, hurry up and talk to a few of us."

"......" The white-clothed gentleman surnamed Chen drank wine and smiled without saying a word, and looked at the table.

Several other gossip scholars hurriedly said that they had invited this drink.

The scholar surnamed Chen straightened his clothes and whispered to them: "I tell you brothers, don't spread it randomly, it will kill you." ”

After the scholars made their vows, Chen Shizi whispered, "Do you know why this uncle married the eldest lady so hastily? ”

"I can tell you, this is the brother of the daughter-in-law of one of my aunts... As my son told me, he was amazing, and he was a close confidant of the general who protected the safety of the third prince. On that day, the third prince invited the princes, nobles, and eunuchs to go out of the city to play, and he happened to accompany him to escort him..."
