Chapter Fifty-Nine: Three Bowls Don't Enter the City

The morning bell was accompanied by the birdsong and reached Wei Renshi's ears.

When I opened my eyes, a ray of morning light shone into the room through the window.

sat up and saw Xi'er curled up in the bed, one hand still pinching the corner of Wei Renshi's clothes.

She was too frightened by the "haunted" house to sleep alone. ran to Wei Renshi's house and listened to the story for half a night, but he still didn't dare, even staying in Wei Renshi's house, and didn't dare to sleep outside the bed.

Wei Renshi got up and got out of bed, and pulled the thin quilt for Xi'er to put on. After tidying up the crumpled robe on his body, he went out of the house lightly.

When I went outside the door and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, I felt a lot clearer in my mind.

To be honest, Xi'er slept next to him, so he didn't sleep well all night - Xi'er slept so badly that he had to be careful not to touch her.

"Why did Shaolangjun get up so early?" Sun Laohan came in from the front yard and saw Wei Renshi, so he came over to say goodbye.

"Sun Aweng is not earlier." Wei Renshi said with a smile.

Sun Laohan looked back at the front yard and said, "Today, we are going to set up a house outside the city gate, and the old man will get up and divide the wine." ”

Wei Renshi nodded, and asked again, "Sun Aweng, what do you think is better for us to change the front yard into?" Do you want to make it all into a warehouse, or do you want to build a place where you can make wine? ”

Sun Laohan said: "This old man has also thought about it, and thinks that there are pros and cons. If it is all converted into a warehouse, it will have to be brought from Changgu from time to time, and the front shop will be opened in the future, and a lot of consumption will be consumed in a day, and the carriage carrying the wine will probably have to run every few days. The advantage is that we can open up wine-making in Changgu, the place is large, there is a lot of wine, and it is convenient to make wine. If the front yard is converted into a workshop and the wine is made on the spot, it is more convenient not to pull it back. But in this way, the front yard is a little smaller, and it can only be changed into a smaller workshop. ”

"You're right, you've got a place with me." Wei Renshi listened to Sun Laohan's words, and he already made a decision in his heart.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Sun Peng walking in from the front yard, and when I saw Wei Renshi talking to Sun Laohan, he came over to greet the two.

Wei Renshi asked him the question just now, and told him what Sun Laohan said.

"Sun Peng, you are the shopkeeper of the winery, and you need to make an idea about this matter." After speaking, Wei Renshi asked him, "How do you think it should be changed?" ”

Sun Peng frowned and thought about it, and said, "If you go back to Langjun, I think the little ones will be changed to a warehouse." ”

Wei Renshi smiled: "Why? ”

"It's all turned into a storehouse, and this front yard is a huge storehouse, which can store a lot of wine." Sun Peng said: "The winery in Changgu is small, even if the front yard is not left in the warehouse, all of them are converted into workshops, it is not as big as the winery in Changgu." In addition, if you want to make sake, you have to store a lot of grain in addition to the sake brewing workshop, and there is no place here. The sake brewed here is far less convenient than the sake brewed in Changgu, and the quality of the wine produced may not be as good as that brewed in Changgu. As for the need to pull wine from time to time, this is not a big problem either. First, Changgu is not far from Luoyang City, even if it is a horse fleet, it will only take two or three days at most, and second, when the winery has revenue, we can form our own horse team, specifically to travel between Changgu and Luoyang to pull wine. Maybe when the time comes, you can still pull things for others, or turn the things in Luoyang and Changgu upside down, and earn a lot of money. ”

Wei Renshi's eyes lit up, he put his hands together, and said, "Not bad!" You're the same as I thought, and one more layer than I thought it was. That being the case, you don't have to go outside the city gate today, and you will immediately begin to change the front yard and the front shop. I asked the shopkeeper to send someone to lead the way with you and help you find someone. You will find all the manpower and change the front shop and front yard as soon as possible in the next few days. Oh, and the Ice House has also been changed. Just do what you think. ”

Sun Peng was immediately very excited, and immediately saluted: "Thank you Langjun for your trust!" The little ones will get things done! ”

But outside the city gate, there are many grass huts, but I don't know who built it, simple four pillars to build a grass hut, below for people to rest, shelter from the rain, are outside the city gate with a lot of people along the road.

If it is said that the city gate with the largest flow of people in Luoyang City, it must be the Dingding Gate in the south.

Dingding Gate is the south gate of Guocheng outside Luoyang City, the name of Jianguo Gate in the early Sui Dynasty, and the name of Dingding Gate was changed in the Tang Dynasty. The streets inside the Dingding Gate are called Heavenly Streets. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once set up a square pavilion outside the Dingding Gate, the east is called the Dongyi envoy, the west is called the Xirong envoy, the south is the southern barbarian envoy, the north is the Beidi envoy, each one person, used to receive the envoys of various countries to deal with the mutual market, trade affairs.

The Sui and Tang dynasties also often held grand gatherings outside the Dingding Gate to boast of the prosperity of their dynasty to foreign envoys.

Therefore, this Dingding Gate is the most important gate in and out of Luoyang City, and it is also the one with the largest flow of people.

Wei Renshi and Sun Laohan pulled the cart wine jar out of Dingding Gate, went to the door control, came to the bottom of a grass shed closest to Dingding Gate, set up a few tables to the side of the road, and then took out the high wine and put it on the table. On the table in the grass hut at the back, different flavors of wine were arranged, mixed together.

Sun Laohan took out a big banner from the carriage, unfolded it, and asked Sun Youqing to hang it on the grass shed.

The big banner spread out with the wind, and I saw five extremely conspicuous characters written on it - three bowls do not enter the city!

Passers-by have already seen the flag, and many people have stared at this side in confusion.

Sun Youqing and Sun Youquan went over, stood on both sides of the road, and began to shout loudly: "Wei Ji is strong in wine, three bowls of belly, no entry into the city, after three bowls, those who can still not get drunk will give ten jars of wine and 100 pieces of money!" ”

He shouted again: "Wei Ji liquor, cool as water, tastes different." Those who can taste different tastes can also give wine! ”

As they spoke, the two of them took out a jar of wine and opened it, and poured it all on the road.

Immediately, a rich and mellow aroma of wine immediately diffused.

Hearing the shouts of Sun Youqing and Sun Youquan, many people had already stopped. At this moment, when they smell the wine, more people stop moving.

The two kept shouting two sentences, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Immediately, a person with good wine came to him and asked, "This wine is very fragrant, but you are not allowed to enter the city after three bowls, but your breath is too big!" ”

Wei Renshi just likes this kind of person, this is free childcare.

immediately smiled and said: "Taste the wine today, don't take a penny, let you taste it." If you don't have a big tone, you'll know if you try it. ”

Wei Renshi is confident in these spirits. The spirits that are put out are all high-grade spirits that have been distilled many times. Based on Wei Renshi's taste, it is estimated that there will be a fifty degrees. It will be even higher, and more than sixty degrees is not impossible.

However, Wei Renshi has no specific way to measure it, so he can only estimate it by tasting it himself.

At this time, the highest wine drunk by the Tang people is estimated to be in the thirties. The first time I drank such a strong wine, I would definitely not tolerate it too much.

Moreover, the bowl that Wei Renshi picked was also exquisite, it didn't seem to be big, but it was actually quite durable, and there was actually a lot of wine poured into the bowl.

Therefore, Wei Ren is really sure that there will not be many people who can drink these three bowls of spirits without getting drunk.

"How? Does this big brother dare to try? Wei Renshi picked up a wine jar, with a provocative look on his face, and said with a smile.
