"Zhicai, don't worry too much. I believe in Zhongdo. ”

Wen Han seemed to guess Xi Long's concerns, nodded lightly, and let Xi Long continue. Originally, Wei Zhongdao also heard some flavor and wanted to open his mouth to avoid it, but when he heard Wen Han's word of belief, his heart trembled. For a while, many thoughts poured out of my mind, and I bowed my head in contemplation and was silent.

"Hmm. Then I'll be blunt. If Lord Taishou wants to get involved in the commerce of the entire Hedong, some discerning wealthy people must guess that the lord wants to capture the economic lifeline of Hedong in his hands and stabilize Hedong accordingly, so that the status of the wealthy family will be greatly reduced in the mind of Lord Taishou.

The people of the wealthy family have always thought that they are the masters of Hedong, how can they allow the Taishou family to be dominant, and they will definitely obstruct it in every way. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Taishou-sama to cooperate with them in business.

And those rich businessmen, their ambitions are not so big. After all, these people only have money, no troops, no fame. Therefore, what they value is profit. This is something that can only be given by Lord Taishou. Then they will not hesitate to cooperate with Taishou-sama.

So next, what we want to win over is this group of giant businessmen and rich people. As for how we get involved in this business, it's really not my specialty. Lord Taishou, let's ask Brother Wei for a lesson or two. ”

As he spoke, Xi Long set his eyes on Wei Zhongdao again. The Wei family's business is all over Hedong, among which Wei's silk is the most famous, which is a century-old brand.

The Wei family attaches great importance to business, and there are many business wizards. And Wei Zhongdao, as the head of the Wei family, is of course more than ordinary people in the business field.

"Haha, Zhicai, aren't you a person who claims to be a hundred talents. I don't think you're good at it. ”

"Lord Taishou, no one is perfect."

Regarding Wen Han's teasing, Xi Long just replied lightly. After that, the two of them set their eyes on Wei Zhongdao's body again. Wei Zhongdao was pondering, and after a while, he straightened his face and said.

"First of all, what Mr. Xi said is very reasonable. If you want to grasp the commerce of Hedong, you must cooperate with the wealthy businessmen in Hedong. As for how Lord Taishou should intervene, I think that Lord Taishou has always been a member of the government. In the eyes of these wealthy businessmen, their identities are different, that is, they are not like-minded people.

Therefore, I suggest that Lord Taishou should start in business first, so that he can get together with those giant businessmen and rich people, and then talk about cooperation will come naturally. ”

"Business?"

In fact, Wen Han also thought about this idea in his heart.

Moreover, in this half month, the implementation of the land acquisition war was carried out by Wei Zhongdao and Xi Long. He was idle, and he also had the idea of engaging in business at that time, and Xi Long had reminded him that the income of the gambling house alone was not enough to support the long-term development of the entire group.

Therefore, Wen Han also has the intention to find a second way to make money. So, he used this half a month to start researching a product.

"If you want to be in business, you have to have something to sell. I don't know if there are any products that can sell well? ”

Xi Long suddenly smiled and looked at Wen Han with interest.

When Wen Han saw his smile, he knew that he must have smelled the smell of his research products, knew the products he studied, and not only knew it, but also drank it secretly.

"I wondered why there were so many rats in the house all of a sudden, and I drank almost all of my drunken immortal brew. It turns out that this rat has grown so big, no wonder, no wonder. ”

"Ahem. This is what Taishou-sama should not be. How can such a good wine be hidden? Good things should be shared with everyone, so this wine tastes good. ”

Wei Zhongdao was confused when he listened, and then looked at Xi Long's fascinated appearance, and asked unconsciously.

"Drunken Immortal Brew? Could it be that Taishou-sama, you're studying wine? Moreover, it has also been studied? ”

"Well, just idle and feel free to try. However, Nakado can come with me and see if this wine can sell well. ”

"Good. It's a good fortune to be able to taste the sake made by Lord Taishou himself, so I'm not welcome. ”

Wei Zhongdao followed behind Wen Han with curiosity and suspicion on his face, at this time, there were not many varieties of wine in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the sake brewed by the servants in the pre-Qin period and the konjac sauce wine brewed by the servants in the Qin and Han dynasties were the most famous.

If Wen Han can really develop a new variety, there is no doubt that this new wine will be a big seller. Of course, the premise is that the wine should be good.

Although Wen Han deliberately didn't instruct Xi Long to follow, Xi Long, who loves alcohol by nature, didn't care whether Wen Han invited him or not, and followed behind the two of them. Wen Han led Wei Zhongdao and Xi Long to a small wine shop in the Taishou Mansion.

This small winery was built by Wen Han, and it is fully equipped, and although there are not many tools for making wine, it is just enough for one person to operate.

In the winery, a lot of wheat, barley, rice and other food crops were piled up, Wei Zhongdao smelled these grain crops with some curiosity, these crops should have been fermented, and there was a pungent special smell.

"Naw. How about you try this wine? ”

Wen Han came to a wine vat, uncovered the mud seal, handed a bamboo pipe to Wei Zhongdao, and motioned Wei Zhongdao to use the bamboo pipe to suck it directly into the wine vat.

"You don't have to suck too much in one gulp. This is a strong drink. ”

Although Wei Zhongdao nodded, he didn't take this to heart. Whether it is sake or konjac sauce wine, it is a light wine, although Wei Zhongdao does not say how good the amount of wine is, but at least a few jars of sake are not drunk. This sip can be intoxicating, and Wei Zhong Daoquan thought that his alcohol consumption was too poor.

Wei Zhongdao took the bamboo pipe, walked to the side of the wine tank, stretched the bamboo pipe in, and sucked it hard. As soon as this wine entered his mouth, Wei Zhongdao felt that his whole mouth was burning, and after swallowing it, the entire body, all internal organs seemed to be burning, and then the blood seemed to be constantly heating.

After a while, Wei Zhongdao actually felt that he was sweating, and at this time, there was just a cool breeze blowing, and he only felt an incomparable pleasure all over his body.

"Ah, cool.

Wei Zhongdao raised his head**, his face was flushed unconsciously, the strength of this drink seemed to be addictive, Wei Zhongdao suddenly felt as if he had a thousand pounds, his blood vessels were swelling, there was a kind of wanton behavior, breaking through many invisible constraints in the world, and becoming the free-spirited and unrestrained immortal.

"Uh..."

Wei Zhongdao staggered and almost fell.

This wine has not been processed in muddy water, and it is the strongest wine, so Wen Han just asked him not to suck it too much in one gulp, but Wei Zhongdao didn't take this to heart at all, and it looked like he was about to get drunk.

"Hehe, let me try it too."

Xi Long unceremoniously snatched the bamboo pipe from Wei Zhongdao's hand, and couldn't wait to run to the wine vat, his eyes flashing with an incomparably flickering essence, as if a flower picker saw a big girl with white flowers.

Xilong has had several experiences, sucking one small bite at a time, and each sucking mouth is like a chicken hair

The sound of ** gives people the feeling of eating **.

"This drunkard, his eyes light up when he sees wine."

Xi Long is not good at anything, except good wine. Seeing his intoxicated appearance, Wen Han couldn't help but mutter.

And Wei Zhongdao, who was on the side, because he drank this drunken immortal brew for the first time, he drank too much in one sip, and he was suddenly angry, and he couldn't say it clearly. He shook his head vigorously and whispered in Wen Han's ear with drunken eyes.

"No... Fan, listen to me....this drunken immortal brew... Enough to make you the whole of Anyi... No! … The richest man in the whole Hedong!! ”

This drunken immortal brew is the original form of Wuliangye in later generations. During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, the Yi people used wheat, barley, rice and other grains to make a kind of wine.

Since then, it has been the first to use a variety of grains to make wine. The manufacturing process is not complicated, and the ingredients are simple and the cost is not high. And the winemaking time is not long.

Smacking wine is named because of the way it drinks, when brewing, the grain is boiled thoroughly, dried, mixed with koji, served in the pottery jar, sealed the mouth of the altar with thin mud, and covered with grass, let it ferment, more than ten days to become.

In later generations, Wen Han's father-in-law, Li Rulong, was a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol. And because of his special status, he can't eat wine from the outside world. This makes Li Rulong have no wine for a day, how can he bear it like a drunkard who has been devoured by ten thousand ants.

Therefore, Li Rulong deliberately learned the technique of winemaking, and Wen Han, as his righteous son, was trained by him as beautiful as his name, and asked Wen Han to help him make wine. One of these wines is Wuliangye.

However, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was difficult to find all the materials related to Wuliangye, and Wen Han could only retreat to the second most simple ingredients such as wheat, barley, and rice.

However, it seems that this effect is sufficient.

The cost of drunken immortal brewing is low, and the manufacturing time is only ten days. Wei Zhongdao and Xi Long, who have tasted the taste of drunken immortal brewing, have great confidence in the big sales of drunken immortal brewing.

And Wen Han was a person who did what he said, and immediately asked people to build a winery outside Anyi City, and began to start the wholesale development of drunken immortal wine. At the same time, Wei Zhongdao gave Wen Han a list.

The names on these lists are all wealthy businessmen in Hedong. Wen Han packed the pot of drunken immortal brew he had developed earlier into hundreds of bottles of fine products and gave them to the wealthy merchants on the list.

Three days later, the effect of the Drunken Immortal Brew really did not disappoint Wen Han. The wealthy businessmen in the counties of Hedong rushed to Anyi as if they were crazy. Everyone wants a certain amount of drunken immortal brew to sell.

The cost of drunken immortal brewing needs to be low, but Wenhan has an absolute monopoly in the market. Under the discussion with Xi Long and Wei Zhongdao, the price of this drunken immortal brew reached the sky-high price of five silver for a bottle.

Although the price is ridiculously high, these giants who have tasted the drunken immortal liquor know the charm of the drunken immortal liquor, and in today's era, the market for high-end luxury liquor is particularly empty.
