Volume 2 The Wind and Clouds Between the Rivers Chapter 218 The Arrogant Cao Clan

Chi Qiu's brain was stimulated by a touch of alcohol, and with the strength of the wine, he was imaginative, shaking his head and showing off his head.

Several old neighbors can see that their little county lord looks at this little brother, with the kind of affection that you love me, and think of the gossip of "Aunt Yanhu" not long ago, like lightning slashing into their hearts, several people glanced at each other, and repeatedly looked for Wu Laohan to verify.

Wu Laohan brought noodles and listened to Chi Qiu's talk, and suddenly felt that the eyes of several neighbors were blinking and looking at him strangely.

They have been intersecting for decades, what do they mean, he suddenly understood, and looked at Chi Qiu stunned on the spot, and "nodded" affirmatively.

Chi Qiu said vigorously, and even a little proud, not paying attention to the faces of a few people, but the little county lord's face turned red, and he said in his heart: What is this scoundrel talking about, the county lord is dying now, and he asked you to make a private appointment with you, what kind of red wine, Changyu, and Hennessy did you talk to me about, in your eyes, am I not as good as wine? But you're really glamorous.

The small county lord Yan Su'er shook his head, shook his thoughts, and also gave Chi Qiu a look, wanting him to talk to the side.

Chi Qiu is not the kind of person who is "crazy" and doesn't care about anything on a whim, but when he saw this, he also glanced back and said that he knew.

The little county lord went to the backyard under the pretext of changing clothes, and Chi Qiu was looking for a chance to go over, when Mrs. Wu and her son Wu You came in with Wu Cao's family outside the door.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, this Wu You is okay, Si Swenwen, Wenwen is weak, and he looks like the Wu couple, he is an honest person, but Wu Cao's is a little infiltrating, the red clothes and red robes in the middle of the night, with a big flower on his head, worthy of the name, with a thick layer of foundation on his face, it is no different from the white wall that has just been painted, this is going out in the middle of the night, with some makeup, it is nothing, some noble girls' tutors, but in addition to the bedroom, they have to be formalized, and the pajamas can only be worn in the bedroom.

But Wu Cao's appearance, when you go out, you will think that you have met a female ghost.

Sure enough, a few old neighbors couldn't sit still, they might have known Wu Cao's prestige for a long time, and a few old men couldn't appreciate her makeup, and a few people understood that they were going to find a chance to say goodbye.

When Mrs. Wu went back, the little couple was just about to fall asleep, Wu Cao's thought that it was a noble nobleman who ordered Rafa red wine, and I heard that this person knew the little county lord, and he said that he could not be lazy, so he dressed up and dressed up before going out. ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law, in fact, he wanted to see this wine, but he didn't know that the wax on the bottle of this wine accidentally got ......" Old man Wu wanted to help Chi Qiu break the siege, in his eyes, this little brother had already asked the neighbors to open three bottles of Changyu, and he thought in his heart that Chi Qiu wanted to show it in front of the small county lord, and he didn't stop it too much, but Rafa red wine is different, a bottle is more than ten taels, which is the cost of ordinary people for two or three years

"Did I ask you?" Wu Cao's face was not good, and he actually spoke in such a tone to his father-in-law? Wu Cao said meaningfully: "You don't know the price, don't talk nonsense, this Rafa red wine is the top red wine of the Rafa winery, and only three barrels of second-class wine are produced every year." How can this bottle be only ten taels, thirty taels and one bottle, you know no! ”

"Ahh Wu Laohan's mind was a little dazed, and he subconsciously came out of his mouth.

Mrs. Wu's face fell, and her daughter-in-law's attitude towards her father-in-law, let alone her, even if others saw her, they couldn't bear it, but when they heard thirty taels and one bottles, Mrs. Wu was speechless in shock.

"I'm afraid that this wine is not well sealed, and if this wax cracks, it won't be able to retain the mellow fragrance inside." Wu Cao said with a slight sneer: "You have to buy this wine if you don't buy it." ”

Chi Qiu's temperament, you can say it well, he is willing to suffer a loss, but in front of him, the Wu Cao clan obviously regards him as a wronged leader, which makes him a little unhappy.

If he knows that the founder is still alive, or go to his grave to mourn, even if it is three hundred taels, he will find a way to raise it, after all, in another world, "the villagers see the villagers, and the tears are in their eyes." "Some emotions need to be vented, three hundred taels, for him, it's not expensive.

But now it is obvious that Wu Cao's is stirring up trouble, he has not drunk this Rafa, but judging from the taste of this Changyu red wine, the wine level on the side of the kite has not yet reached the top level or reached the point of nitpicking. It is important to know that even the best winemakers will not be able to make the best wines every time, after all, in addition to the slope of the grape variety, the selection of the fruit, the cover of the white dew, and even the age of the barrel in the cellar will have a decisive impact on the final taste.

After all, the history of wine making in the Western Regions has been one or two thousand years, although it is not on a large scale, the good heritage is still there, and the wine history between the rivers is only one or two hundred years, and there is no "demand explosion" in these two hundred years. The development is not sluggish, which is known from the cork and the taste of the drink, the cellar barrel of this red wine, at most 30 years, is not the top old oak barrel.

Of course, to do that kind of "nitpicking" must go through the tempering of history and time, and it is not something that can be solved by a traveler with two words of caution. In modern times, why are French red wine estates even private wineries touted, the youngest oak barrels in people's cellars are one or two hundred years old, and they are still stored every year, and they are soaked in wine for one or two hundred years, and Huacao's domestic wine, even if it is made into a new barrel of oak that has been grown for a hundred years, it will be criticized, and the lack of historical afterglow makes it difficult for Donglu wine to "pack B".

Even if 99% of the drinkers can't drink the difference, they are just "more than your ancestors" than you.

Of course, marketing is another matter, Changyu Winery or Rafa Winery in Wuyue Continent wants to be packaged as a top-quality red wine, Chi Qiu can understand, as if he will regret selling Hennessy cheaply.

"Hundreds of copper plates of red wine", package

After loading, sell ten taels, one is willing to buy and one is willing to sell, and the purchase and sale are free. However, Wu Cao's face is to sit on the ground and raise the price, and he has been abducted.

Hearing her say this, Chi Qiu immediately understood that she wanted to slaughter herself. If she is allowed to make trouble, I am afraid that this matter will not be good.

Glancing at Mrs. Wu in the afterglow of his eyes, he saw that the old lady was already angry and was about to jump up, and Chi Qiu was a little distressed when he saw that she was choked by anger.

You must know that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu have been undeceived all their lives, and when they saw their daughter-in-law being so aggressive, they said anxiously: "Girl, didn't you say ten taels of wine before?" Don't embarrass him, he's a friend of the little county lord. ”

"What do you know, this wine is a 77-year-old wine, there are only a few hundred bottles a year, I bought it for ten taels when I bought it, but over the years, the 77-year-old wine has probably been drunk by people, and now it is estimated that there are only a few bottles in this world that have not been opened, can this wine be worthwhile? If it weren't for the fact that he was a friend of the little county lord, I would have sold fifty taels. ”

Well, this person's marketing logic is very powerful.

"That's what you said?" The little county lord couldn't wait for Chi Qiu, he had already listened to Wu Cao's words outside, and he had already understood everything.

This Wu Cao family was born in a small family, in the early years of Yan Chen just sat firmly in the position of the city lord, promulgated the "Decree of Asylum", in exchange for money for the vassals of the small lord, the Cao family responded to the call, and gave the territory to Yanhu, and became a merchant with peace of mind.

Yanchen has always supported the Cao family, and the Cao family is a little related to the Songjiang Cao family, and many businesses in Yanhu at that time were contracted by the Cao family, which also made the Cao family extremely wealthy, and was a wealthy man in Yanhu City, but unfortunately the father of the Cao family died early. This business is broken.

There is only one widowed mother with the Cao family in the family, and the mother and daughter depend on each other, so they are naturally doted on and pampered, and they are regarded as treasures.

This Cao also practiced some martial arts when he was young, and it can be said that he has the posture of flowers and willows on the outside and the nature of wind and thunder on the inside. After the death of his father, he often made sexual anger at the maidservant at home, scolded at the light, beaten at the heavy, and said that he did not lose the reputation of the "martial artist".

Cao's every move, her mother was obedient, and she developed an arrogant temperament.

This Cao's mother and daughter, operating like this, have no man to control them outside, and they taste people's lives inside, and use money to send them away, even if they have thousands of family wealth, they will inevitably fall.

Eight or nine years ago, her mother once wanted her to marry a few men of the Yan family, so as to continue the wealth, so her mother first spent money to send a lot of maids, and let the Cao family restrain a little, and enter the Xiangxiang Female School, because of her good appearance and good looks, and the old with the banquet, her mother often took her to the Yanhu Fort, in order to be able to meet with the Yanmeng and Yanwu.

However, this woman is vicious and difficult to change, and often bullies the daughter of the commoner in the Burning Fragrance Girls' School, although Yan Su'er was small at that time, she knew right and wrong, and she secretly wrote it down.

Yan Chen thought of the Cao family's previous support for him, and once wanted Yan Qiang to marry the Cao family, this Yan Xu family was in charge of the Xiangxiang Female School, how did he not know what the Cao family was doing? It's just that it's hard to say clearly, and when I learned that my daughter Yan Su'er also knew that the Cao family was a person, I asked Yan Su'er to tell Yan Yan about Cao's study in the fragrant girl, and this family business was just done.

At that time, Wu You and Yan Qiang were classmates in Yulin Academy

Friend, where is this Cao family willing to let go of the wealth, so he found an opportunity, wanted to recommend himself to the pillow seat, but that day Wu You and Yan Qiang changed rooms, this Cao Shi entered the room in the dark, and after a night of happiness with the people in the room, he played a trick and deliberately swaggered, attracting everyone to block the door, wanting to force the Yan family to scruple about reputation, so he had to give in and agree to her marriage with Yan Qiang, but everyone rushed to find that she was lying with Wu You.

In fact, it is not surprising that some playmates of men and women are in the river before marriage, although the arrival of the banquet Xu family has changed the atmosphere in the river slightly, but the widow remarries, young and cheating, at most it is talked about, not to be able to get over the hurdle, at that time the Cao family was defeated, it was much stronger than the Wu family, and it was not necessarily necessary to marry the Wu family.

However, in order to cater to the banquet Xu family, this Cao mother often flaunts her widow and festival among the magnates of Yanhu, and her daughter has a family education, virtuous and virtuous, and ends from the beginning. It seems as if their Cao family's mother and daughter are the benchmark for Yanhu women.

And she didn't keep the festival, but she didn't look for a good friend outside these years, but closed the door with the housekeeper at home to make firewood. The housekeeper naturally knew that the Cao family was strong and strong, and the acres of the house had already been pawned, and the Cao family's marriage into the city lord's house was the last straw, and after the "sleeping the wrong man" incident, this straw was also unlikely, so the housekeeper rolled up the only money, jewelry, and land deeds and ran away.

The housekeeper of the big family ran away, but it was not a trivial matter, many things could not be covered, Cao's mother and the housekeeper's adultery was exposed, the painstaking management of the archway collapsed, the reputation was lost, and soon he died of illness.

Cao's became an orphan girl and was penniless, so how could Cao be willing, and the creditor also came to the door for three days and two ghosts. In the end, as a last resort, Yan Xu came forward to beat the creditor and helped her to make a host, and the Cao family married into the Wu family. Alone, she barely settled down.

Wu You is simple and kind, and he can't suppress the nature of the Cao family at all, and it didn't take long for the Cao family to germinate in the Wu family, and over the years, the Cao family can be said to have made the Wu family suffer a lot.

This Cao family is also the daughter of a businessman, and she has some business minds, but her hands are high and her eyes are low, she is so ambitious, and she starts to do things.

Yan Su'er sued the Cao family back then, and it also became Cao's hate, seeing the little county lord appear, he pretended to have a trace of embarrassment and grievance on his face: "Yo, where is Sister Su'er?" ”

"Isn't it that I'm here, so I won't say what you said?" Yan Su'er didn't have a good impression of her, when she was young, Wu You's brother also took care of her, and after all these years, a good young talent was tortured by her.

Cao Shi heard Yan Su'er say this, but he scolded in his heart: "This, you actually did bad things to me back then, see how the old lady cleans you up." ”

He retreated to the counter and said with a smile: "Sister Su'er said that I laughed, didn't I teach this little brother how to distinguish the high and low of this red wine, this red wine, just like people, has always been divided into high and low, and the difference between high and low is brought out of the womb of the mother's womb, just like this wine is put into the bottle of Rafa, which is better than that of Changyu."

The bottle is strong. ”

Chi Qiu's pupils contracted suddenly, and it could be seen that Wu You next to her also had an unnatural expression, and it was estimated that he was tormented by her crooked theory.

Yan Su'er looked at it lightly, and said noncommittally: "Well, this is natural." No matter how well educated and educated the ladies are, they will not reject the theory of blood, after all, there is nothing wrong with being considered noble, of course, there are some who do not pay attention to the theory of blood, the only difference is that they are still willing to choose commoners when they marry, "But people's hearts are fleshy and red, and if they are made of glass slag, they are very receptive, right?" ”

Cao Shi probably understood what Yan Su'er meant, and raised his voice a little and said: "No, some people have good wine to entertain beauties, but they use that kind of lowly miscellaneous wine to entertain Sister Su'er, what do you say he has a good heart?" Said a much quieter voice: "Do you think this is called a match?" ”

The meaning of these words is that Chi Qiu thinks that the main banquet of the small county is only worthy of drinking this Zhangyu.

Chi Qiu sneered and said: "Indeed, some people think that this is not noble enough, and they dare not drink it, so they have to leave it here and sell it at a price." Originally, I wanted to choke the Cao family with these words, but it seemed that the Wu family was also covered, and Chi Qiu thought in his heart: Is it better for me not to open my mouth today?

The Wu family didn't think much about it, this Cao family usually does this with the neighbors, and trivial things are also pulled to this, as if she was a phoenix who accidentally fell into the chicken coop, this kind of talk is too much, the Wu family has already had a strong immunity in their hearts.

Wu You timidly stepped forward to pull away his daughter-in-law, taking advantage of the fact that this matter had not yet made a big fuss.

Cao Shi shook off his hand and looked at Chi Qiu coldly: "Where did you come from, you don't have any money, you dare to show off here, I want to invite the little county lord of our city to drink, a bottle of thirty taels is cheap for you." ”

"What about these?" Chi Qiu pointed to Changyu red wine and said.

"Hmph, these are three-two-in-one bottles." Cao's home field today, it is simply a sky-high price, there is no business ethics to talk about at all, with Chi Qiu's tasting just now, the red wine of this kite capital has begun to take on the characteristics of the manor, compared with the red wine brewed by ordinary farmers, it is much better, but it is not as expensive as oil. Naturally, this price cannot be measured with modern eyes, but there is always a fixed number. If it is transported from the Western Regions, it is not too much to sell three taels, the road is far away, the road is stored, and the consumption is very great, but from the kite capital, it cannot be the same day.

Wu Laohan, Mrs. Wu and Wu You looked at each other, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, this Cao family is going to smash the Wu family's signboard today, and actually offended the little county lord and her friends so much, Wu You lowered his head and said in a weak mosquito voice: "This wine is only three hundred Wen ......"

"Shut up, do you have the right to speak, I'm already earning money for your Wu family, just your broken shop, you can't earn a few dollars a year, like you, you only earn two cents for a bowl of noodles, you have to drink the northwest wind, besides, don't drink this wine if you can't afford it, don't ask the price clearly, what kind of big head, what kind of guests to invite."

Chi Qiu took a sip of red wine slightly, and his dark eyes slapped carelessly

Measuring the woman in front of him, he shook his head and thought: I used to read books, and this kind of person who was not stingy had heard of it, read it, and it was really strange to see it myself.

Cao's eyes swept around the people, everyone lowered their heads one by one, especially those old neighbors are not willing to offend the Cao family, the key is to offend her, this Cao family can easily point the finger at Mrs. Wu and Wu Laohan, their son Wu You is not useful, the matter of Cao's bullying of their Wu family in the past is still lingering in their minds!

Chi Qiu knows that this matter is not very good, but there is no industrial and commercial bureau here, and it seems that the matter of the black store can only be stronger and stronger, with Chi Qiu's ability to smash this store, and then there is no problem to get out of the whole body, but this store is from the Wu family, and it is really smashed, I am afraid that this Cao family is not distressed.

And she offended the little county lord this time, Chi Qiu always felt that this matter revealed a kind of weirdness, and he couldn't say it.
