In the eastern corner of Xiyang City, the noisy voices of people in Wuwei Zhai and the sound of pushing glasses and changing lamps come and go, and the business of this newly opened wine shop this year has finally begun to flourish, attracting gourmets with its unique dishes and unique flavors.

The appearance of Wuwei Zhai is not much different from that of ordinary wine shops, and for 'knowledgeable' characters, even in Anlu and other large states is ordinary, but in Bazhou and Xiyang, it is a 'high-end' place.

Although Xiyang City is close to the Yangtze River, and the business travelers who travel between the east and west of the river pass in front of the door, they generally do not go ashore in Xiyang, firstly, there is nothing special about Bazhou's products, and secondly, there is nothing worth their stay in Xiyang.

Therefore, the scale of the liquor shops in Xiyang City is not large, after all, there are not many foreign merchants to consume, and the demand of the so-called big households in the city and the surrounding areas alone cannot support too many liquor shops, but the situation has begun to change since the opening of Wuwei Zhai.

His dishes are never seen elsewhere, not to say how expensive and rare the ingredients are, but purely to make a different taste with ordinary and visible ingredients, of course, the price of a table is expensive, but gradually the local rich people in Bazhou flock to it.

Anyone who opens a wine shop has to take care of all the ways, but no one dares to go to Wuwei Zhai to make a mistake, first of all, the cow ghosts and snake gods in Xiyang City are obedient, and secondly, this is the industry under the name of Shi Yuwen Wenwen.

There will never be a miasma of smoke in other small wine shops, and if anyone drinks too much, they will only dare to attack outside the wine shop, and with a normal dining environment, there are more and more customers in Wuwei Zhai.

Recently, dishes such as 'Dongpo pork' and 'sauce elbow' have been spreading from Gomi Zhai, and there are also various pastries and other flavors that are good, so if you can't afford to eat at Gomi Zhai, it doesn't matter, all dishes and pastries accept a la carte 'packing'.

Therefore, people with a little money also try it from time to time, and they also go to Wuwei Zhai to order a few dishes when they encounter any good things, especially the most popular pastries, and even some snacks are often ordered.

It is said that Wuwei Zhai has so many unique dishes that will be tightly covered, so as not to make people learn the tricks of cooking and make money, but Wuwei Zhai does not keep secret the production method of its dishes and pastries.

Anyone can come to learn except for a few signature dishes, and it is said that the tuition fee is not less, and many large families spend money to send their own cooks to Wuwei Zhai to learn the arts, and even the chefs of small sake shops also come to learn skills, so its dishes and various pastries are gradually spreading.

Even so, there are still a lot of diners in Wuweizhai, and the dishes that others learn to make are always a little worse, not that Wuweizhai does not teach the tricks, but that there are too many things needed to cook, and many people may not be able to get together.

The first is 'stir-frying', these days there are people who know what 'stir-frying' vegetables are, so they have to buy an iron pot instead of a casserole to 'fry' vegetables, followed by condiments, such as soy sauce, tempeh and the like may not be able to buy, and the taste of dishes made without these things is always worse.

Wuwei Zhai also sells these condiments but the amount is not much, and the brewing method will be taught after paying the money, but in addition to the wine shop, where some people are willing to toss so much, so many families at most learn a few simple dishes or pastries, if you want to treat something or go directly to Wuwei Zhai.

Yuwen envoy Jun has a Ruixing shop under the name of doing business, it is said that the people who come to do business are big businessmen, so the business is prosperous, many people feel that since this is the case, why bother to open a wine shop to make hard money, but the 'people of insight' also pointed out the strangeness: the original wine shop in Xiyang City is too low, and Yuwen Envoy Jun's Wang shopkeeper needs a good place to entertain distinguished guests.

Now Wang Yue's shopkeeper is indeed feasting in a wing room of Wuwei Zhai, and here are Wu Xin and his entourage, who have just arrived in Xiyang today, and Wang Yue's partner Li Fang is also present.

Wang Yue, as the shopkeeper under Yuwenwen, is in charge of all the transactions under his name, and Li Fang is a large local household who stands in the right line, and as a reward is accepted by Yuwenwen as a reward to 'earn money together', this time the two of them discussed business with several shopkeepers from Jiangnan.

Because of the war between Zhou and Chen, the long-overdue trade has been pushed to the present, Wang Yue has a large number of goods in his hands, and Jiangnan Wu shopkeeper and others are also waiting to bring back the glass mirror and other goods to make money.

After the goods and payments that had been postponed for several months were handed over, both parties were relieved after clearing the 'old accounts', and it was just time to divide the host and guests into seats.

After a round of pre-dinner snacks, the main dishes are served, first of all, Xiyang's famous 'Dongpo meat' and 'sauce elbow', which only emerged at the beginning of the two years are quite popular with everyone here, of course, Wuwei Zhai's Dongpo meat and sauce elbow are much more delicious than other wine shops.

Then there are the unique soup fish balls, the unheard of Xiyang roast duck, the light fresh mushroom and tofu soup, the strange pan-fried lotus root box, the dry stewed chicken that I don't know how to make, the fragrant egg 'fried rice', the sensational lion's head and the aroma of wine.

The wine is very powerful, and it is not a good thing to usher in Wu Xin and others who are not drunk after sending a thousand cups, but after a cup of stomach, he secretly said that it is not good: the stamina is very strong!

"Xiyang is not as good as Jiankang, these are ordinary dishes, you are smiling." Wang Yue said with a smile, and then got up with Li Fang on the side to 'persuade wine', the dishes of Wuwei Zhai are unique, if you talk about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is still much worse.

However, this wine is different, and I don't know how to make it much stronger than other wines, Wang Yue probably knew that Wuwei Zhai bought wine from elsewhere to 'concentrate', but how to concentrate it is confusing.

The three rounds of wine went and everyone present was full of red light, not to mention Wang Yue and Wu Xin, who were shopkeepers who did big business, even Li Fang, a big local businessman, boasted that he had a good amount of wine, and as a result, he was really a little upset after a few glasses of wine.

Wu Xin waved his hands one after another, saying that he couldn't drink well, and he still had something to do for a while, they didn't want to make a fool of themselves, they had been doing business for many years, they had eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, they had also eaten and slept in the streets, and they had the experience of drinking peerless wine somewhere in the countryside, but they were not so enjoyable today.

In terms of ingredients, it is naturally not as good as the famous wine shop in Jiankang, and even the wine shop in Jiangling may not be compared, but the dishes and flavors are unique, especially the 'stir-fried' dishes, they have never seen before.

Wang Yue saw that the atmosphere was about the same, exchanged glances with Li Fang, sat up straight, clapped his hands and called the maids in, the food table in front of everyone was removed and replaced with a table, and after a while, several maids walked in in turn with plates.

They gently put the small wooden box on the plate in front of the shopkeepers, and when they turned to leave, they rolled up a gust of incense, Wu Xin sniffed lightly and sighed for a moment before asking, "The fragrance of osmanthus flowers?" ”

"Exactly, Shopkeeper Wu has a good sense of smell." Li Fang opened his mouth and said, now is his 'presiding time', so he continued: "Please open the wooden box. ”

Wu Xin and the others gently opened the wooden box, only to see a chicken-sized thing lying on the silk cloth, the color orange and yellow exuding a scent of osmanthus flowers, then Li Fang continued to explain that this is a bathing thing, called soap.

"Soap?" Wu Xin looked at this thing and muttered to himself, he picked up the soap but felt very slippery, looked down and sniffed it only to feel that the fragrance of osmanthus was stronger, and after carefully looking at it for a while, he opened his mouth and asked: "Soap, soap horn, soap horn can be used to remove dirt, this thing must also be used to wash hands, right?" ”

"A woman's hands are naturally to be cared for." Li Fang clicked to the end, and the shopkeepers present nodded silently when they heard the words, most of the people who do business are human spirits, and Li Fang directly pointed out the object of the 'soap' as soon as he said this.

Li Fang clapped his hands, and the maids brought a copper basin and a small plate of ointment and put them in front of the shopkeepers, and they first made their hands full of oil according to Li Fang's instructions, and then rubbed soap in the water to wash their hands.

The oil stain was quickly washed away and the scent of osmanthus remained on his hands, Wu Xin had the most direct understanding of the function of this soap, he looked at the turbid water in the copper basin and looked at the soap, and had a plan in his heart.

Soap seems to deplete fairly quickly, and that's easy to do.

This is a thing that is sold to women or men who speak style, and it can not only be used to remove scale when bathing, but also to make people have a fragrance on their bodies after bathing, and the name of soap is indeed worthy of its name, but more importantly, it is not durable, so you have to keep buying.

Therefore, the demand will not be less, although it is not as profitable as jewelry, but women must like to use it, and the unit price must not be high, and there will be no fewer people who can afford it.

If it is a simple descaling thing, it is nothing, after all, soaphorn and pancreas have the same effect, and the most important thing is that it is also fragrant, so it is different, and the nobles of Jiankang like this tone.

"I guess there will be other scented soaps, right?" Wu Xin asked, and several other shopkeepers also looked at Li Fang, and they all looked happy after seeing each other's nods.

Although I don't know how the unit price is, I don't want to be expensive, and the market is predictable and not worrying about selling, so it is also a way to make money.

"This soap will be tried by the shopkeeper, if you are interested in waiting for tomorrow to discuss with Li." Li Fang said loudly, seeing the expressions of the shopkeepers, he already knew that the matter was decided, this was the wealth that Yuwen envoy gave him, and now he was going to make a lot of money.

The unit price will not be too high but the cost is low, not only the demand for Jiangnan but also its own territory will not be small, so the income is also a large amount.

"Guys, look at the next thing." Wang Yue opened his mouth and said, clapping his hands when he saw that everyone was waiting to see, and a moment later a maid carefully pushed the cart in.

There was a long wooden box on the car, and the maid opened the wooden box and carefully took out something, Wu Xin was stunned when he saw it: it was an ivory placed on the shelf.

No, it's not ivory, the thing that seems to be ivory is colorful, at least blue, green, and yellow are mixed together, and the material should be glass, so it is crystal clear but looming in the light.

The maid pushed the cart and walked around in front of everyone, so that the shopkeepers could see clearly that the glass ivory was about three feet long, and not only was it smooth and immaculate on the outside, but it also had several flowers embedded inside.

It should be made of gold leaf, and the workmanship is exquisite and lifelike, adding a brilliance to the already eye-catching glass ivory, and it is appropriate to use the icing on the cake.

Ivory is a precious thing, but Jiankang's magnates are not rare, unless the white and flawless best ivory will arouse their interest, in front of this glass ivory is unique but not worrying about the market, and the price is not low.

It would take a lot of thought to make one, but if you can make it casually, you won't be able to sell it at a good price. Wu Xin thought so, and then Wang Yue's words also reassured him: This glass ivory is not easy to make, and you don't need to worry about it.

Then the maid pushed in for something even more difficult to make: glazed coral.

Although it is only three feet tall, it is lifelike, and at a glance it is no different from the real coral.

Green, blue, yellow, and other colors seem to render a glazed coral out of a blurring color, coral is also a common thing in the homes of the nobles of Jiankang, but such a beautiful glazed coral is not found elsewhere!

Wu Xin can be sure that there is indeed no, as the so-called "wealth does not return to the hometown, such as the night walk of the brocade, who knows", the noble family has to turn around and let others know, although it is not to fight for rich, but the idea of fighting for a breath must be there.

He had never heard of anyone who had such a thing as glass coral, so no matter how high the price of the glass in front of him was, he would not worry about selling, just waiting for the price and selling it could raise the price, and the nobles would not be stingy with this little money.

Wu Xin felt that this glazed coral would be more shocking if it was bigger or taller, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was still the current size.

No matter how big and high it is, how to transport it has become a big problem, once it hits where it breaks a small piece that is a flaw, now the goods are transported back to Jiangnan by water, although there is no land so bumpy but shaking is inevitable.

Today's size is just right, easy to package and easy to transport, Wu Xin admires Wang Yue's choice of the size of the glazed coral, which not only ensures that it can be sold at a large price but also is convenient for customers to transfer.

Coral is small and can not attract people's attention, big and difficult to transport, such a complex glass coral God knows how to make it, it is rare to see additives to be rare and expensive, the price of this thing will not be low.

"Guys, here's the main thing." After Wang Yue finished speaking, he and Li Fang stood up, and when they saw that everyone's eyes were focused on them, they walked away to both sides, and then the curtain behind the original seat was slowly opened.

"This is?" Wu Xin and the others were stunned when they looked at the things presented in front of them, and they all looked intent.

"This is a glass screen for a hundred birds." Wang Yue smiled slightly, "It's easy to disassemble and assemble, and I'm not afraid of damage on the road, although it's more expensive, but"

He paused and then said, "Presumably Da Chen's Zhang Guifei will like it very much, right?" (To be continued.) )
