Li Sheng was happy, and finally thought of one thing, the wine shops in the Tang Dynasty were all government-run, and the private brewing and selling was a crime. The main reason is that the grain production cannot go up, and if the people are allowed to set up wineries, it will affect the price of grain in the whole country and the stomach of the people.

This question stumped Li Sheng again, and he did not know enough about the system of the Tang Dynasty. This made Li Sheng speechless, but since he could make it, he had to sell it anyway, otherwise he would have no money to spend. When he built the still, Li Sheng had already used almost all the money in the family, and the brocade he was rewarded for was also used by Li Sheng for wine to steam. Now Li Sheng has basically exhausted the money earned by his father and himself.

Li Sheng watched as he got two jars of distilled liquor, gritted his teeth, loaded them all into an ox cart, and dragged them to Xianyang County. He wanted to try his luck with Wang Sili and see if he could get some money back.

Two jars of distilled liquor are only about forty catties, and according to the measurement method of the Tang Dynasty, there are also two buckets of liquor. Although it can't be sold for much money, if Wang Sili knows the goods and wants the formula, Li Sheng will make it.

Out of Lijia Village, Li Sheng sat leisurely on the ox cart and enjoyed the scenery of Guanzhong during the Tang Dynasty. Li Sheng can personally feel that the climate in the Tang Dynasty was much wetter and milder than in later generations. Because Li Sheng couldn't see the loess around Xi'an in later generations, and everywhere was bare. On the contrary, the Guanzhong area of the Tang Dynasty was full of green grass and a picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Sheng sat on the ox cart, watching the farmers in the field work, the breeze blew with a trace of warmth, and the weeping willows on both sides of the official road spit out new shoots, Li Sheng felt comfortable.

A group of people and horses drove in the distance, Li Sheng looked at this formation, and eighty percent of them were the team of high-ranking officials and nobles who came out to step on the spring. The ancients did not have much entertainment, and the spring flowers bloomed out to step on the spring, which became the first choice for the vassal elegance of the dignitaries. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, coming out to step on the spring, making two very elegant poems, and showing off in front of the female companion is the most beautiful thing for the open Tang Dynasty people.

Li Sheng saw the crowd of cars and horses coming, and suddenly thought of an idea. He stopped the ox-cart, brought a bowl of wine out of the jar, and drank down on the jerky he had brought.

The crowd of carriages and horses soon arrived, led by two young noblemen, riding tall horses in front, talking and laughing, thinking that they were in a very happy mood. In the carriage behind, there must be female dependents in the carriage. Li Sheng saw the maids, waiters, and guards who followed, and there were a hundred and ten people. Presumably, these people are the sons of noble nobles.

"Do you smell the smell of wine in Huaimo?" The first twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in bright yellow clothes asked a swarthy and sturdy man dressed very gorgeously on the side.

"Why don't you smell it, you can smell it from afar. I don't know what kind of wine can be so fragrant? The swarthy man slammed his mouth after speaking, looking like he was hungry.

"This wine is so mellow, it is certainly not ordinary. Why don't you and I go and see? ”

"Just wait for His Highness's words."

The sturdy man patted his horse and left, and the two immediately stood still in front of Li Sheng's ox cart, and said with a dark face: "The smell of this wine is coming from you." We both smelled it, don't say you don't. Otherwise, the master ......."

The boy who had come with him hurriedly interrupted him when he heard the swarthy fellow talk. When Li Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh. This swarthy guy is really speechless when he speaks.

Since Li Sheng brought them here, he naturally had to pretend to be one. He said: "The coarse wine at home is just a way to satisfy your greed when you are greedy, since the two of you can see it, then get off the horse and drink it together, and it can be regarded as filling in some fun in this spring." ”

"Why is this man talking so sourly, like a two-pole." After listening to this, the swarthy guy said with a disgusted face.

The handsome boy next to him glared at the guy. opened his mouth and said: "This person Cheng Mo has a straightforward temperament, Xiao Langjun should not be surprised." A certain name is Li Qian, I don't know if Xiao Langjun can get a name? ”

Li Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Li Sheng, a man from Xianyang County." Let's not talk about the two more, since I think my wine is fragrant, first find something to hold the wine, and then drink it, and then we will be poetic. ”

As a later generation, Li Sheng has already seen the identities of the two from the names reported by the two. The two names Li Qian and Cheng Mo are too close, Li Chengqian and Cheng Huaimo are two names. Coupled with Li Gan's call for Cheng Mo as Huaimo just now, as well as the dress and accompanying honor guards of the two, Li Sheng can already affirm the identities of the two.

Such a good opportunity, Li Sheng will definitely not give up. Pretending to be must be pretended, and pretending to be talented and stylish. In this way, the matter of distilling liquor may be easy to do.

"Li Sheng, a man from Xianyang County, but Li Sheng of Xianyang County, who made Quyuan plows and new-style cocoon cars?" Li Qian asked.

"Exactly." Li Sheng said: "Since the two of you want to drink, I don't have any utensils here." I don't know if there are two? ”

"If you want a Rausch container, I'll taste it for Your Highness first."

Cheng Huaimo said that, he turned over and jumped off the horse, threw the horse whip in his hand to the guards, and walked to Li Sheng's ox cart. grabbed the jar of wine that Li Sheng had opened, raised his head and drank it.

After a while, Huaimo just took a big sip, and instantly held the wine jar and didn't move, and his face slowly turned red. Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the horse, changed his face accordingly. The guards on the side instantly drew their knives and pounced on Li Sheng with a wary face.

Li Sheng was also taken aback, your uncle choked on wine, as for killing people with a knife? Hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? ”

At this time, Cheng Huaimo put down the wine jar, coughed a few times, and said with a red face: "Stop!" Fuck me choking on wine, you guys are nervous. ”

Cheng Huaimo took a breath and said, "Good wine!" Wine! I, Lao Cheng, have never drunk such strong wine. ”

When he was boasting, Li Sheng went to take back the wine jar, Li Sheng used a little force, and the wine spilled. Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I gave you wine to drink, and I was almost hacked to death. I'll pour this wine and I won't give you any more to drink. Li Sheng put the wine on the ox cart in a huff, picked up the bullwhip and drove the cart away.

Cheng Huaimo is anxious now, his family is a nest of drunkards, and Cheng Huaimo is one. When he encounters such good wine today, if he lets Li Sheng go, he will be sorry for the wine worm in his stomach.

Cheng Huaimo went up and grabbed Li Sheng's arm, smiled flatteringly, and said, "You are also a county man, you won't be so stingy." How much is a jar of wine, I will pay ten times. ”

"Bastard thing, don't quit yet." Li Chengqian saw that Cheng Huaimo was fine, so he was relieved, and after retiring from the guards, he said to Li Sheng: "Don't be angry, Xiaolangjun, the guards don't know what's going on, please don't be surprised." ”

Li Sheng was originally a little angry, but he was not scared lightly just now, those guards were 100% bloody, and they were murderous. Li Sheng's legs and stomach were still a little sore at this time, and he still had some palpitations in his heart. Hearing that Li Chengqian apologized, Li Sheng knew his identity, and his heart was still very useful, so he let go of the bullwhip.

"That's right." Cheng Huaimo took Li Sheng's bullwhip, threw it on his ox cart, and lifted the wine jar again. He took two sips, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said good wine.

Li Chengqian, who was on the horse, looked at Cheng Huaimo without a trace of letting go, and he was very angry. Isn't this Cheng Huaimo a taste for the lonely king? But I couldn't stop drinking. is only a virtue with his family's old killer, and when he encounters wine, he can't move his legs and can't keep his mouth.

"Go and get a silver cake and hand it over to Li Xiannan, which is my wine money with him." Li Chengqian immediately pointed to the remaining jar of wine in the car, and said to the guards on the side: "Bring the wine with me and go back." ”

Cheng Huaimo had already drunk a pound away at this time, drinking distilled liquor like beer, and Li Sheng was already stunned when he saw him drinking.

Cheng Huaimo's face was already flushed, and he was eight or nine points drunk. Seeing Li Chengqian leaving, he didn't understand why, so he shouted, "Your Highness is waiting for me." ”

Cheng Huaimo followed with a wine jar, leaving Li Sheng alone, watching the guards who delivered the silver cakes come over. Li Sheng thought to himself, this is leaving, I haven't started pretending to be forced yet, you guys are leaving. Isn't there a section that steals verses and shocks the four? It's too much of a routine, and it will affect my traverser's compulsion.

Who is Li Chengqian, will he talk to Li Sheng for a long time because of a jar of wine? Definitely not, he was just a momentary curiosity, plus Cheng Huaimo defeated his mood, he still stayed, too without the majesty of the prince. Being able to talk so much with Li Sheng modestly already shows Li Chengqian's generosity and pro-people mind. Don't think about the rest, people and Li Sheng's identity are separated by a way to learn from the scriptures.

Li Sheng didn't feel lost either, because a piece of silver cake had already made him a fortune. Because in the Tang Dynasty, only large quantities of transactions would be settled with silver cakes, and a piece of silver cake was worth ten yuan, do you know how much ten times it was worth? In exchange for grain, it is 250 stones. Equivalent to about 60,000 yuan in later generations, do you say Li Sheng will be lost?

In fact, the reason why silver was so valuable in the Tang Dynasty was because of the lack of silver. Silver is a precious metal, and only high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants can hold silver taels. The ancients also had a hobby of accumulating gold and silver, and they liked to bring gold and silver to the grave after death, and it was very difficult to mine gold and silver, so silver would have such a high value in ancient times.

Li Sheng wanted to pretend to be a handful, although he didn't succeed, but he also lost real benefits. However, Li Sheng didn't want to go back, he still had to go to Xianyang County, because Li Sheng still had to buy wine, and then come back to steam. Looking at Cheng Huaimo's appearance today, he must still come to find the wine he made.

Although Li Sheng made a lot of money today, Li Sheng was still not satisfied. Money is a thing that can do a lot of things. Since I can't go back, I definitely have to do something, as long as I do things, I can't do without money. As a traveler, Li Sheng also admires the protagonists in later novels very much, and they are all awesome and coaxing. If you want to be like that, you can't miss money.

In the Luguo Mansion in Chang'an, several subordinates carried Cheng Huaimo back to the mansion, and there was a wine jar behind him. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Cheng Biting Jin, who was playing with a board axe, saw that his son was drunk and carried back, so he was angry.

"Hang this thing that I don't know how to grow in the yard, and the old man will sober him up today."

Carrying Cheng Huaimo's follower, he hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Laoguo, you have wronged Grandpa Xiaoguo today. ”

Cheng bit his golden beard and exploded, his eyes widened, and said, "Why did I wronged him?" I can't give a reason, I'll smoke with you. ”

He hurriedly lowered his head in fright, and said respectfully: "Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited the grandfather of Xiaoguo to go to the spring, and met a man from Xianyang County, who made a particularly mellow spirit, and the grandfather of Xiaoguo tried wine for His Royal Highness, but he drank less than two catties, and he became drunk like this." ”

"Are you a three-year-old doll when you are an old man? How can there be any wine that can be intoxicating after drinking two catties. You are clearly covering up for him, take my whip, and see that I don't beat you old slave to death. Cheng Yanjin said angrily.

The old slave who followed the old slave hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The wine that the grandfather of the little country drank, the villain brought it back, and the grandfather of the country didn't believe it, and he knew it when he checked it." ”

Cheng Yanjin snorted angrily and said, "Bring the wine." ”

The subordinate holding the wine jar took two steps as one step, and quickly delivered the wine to Cheng Yanjin. Cheng Yanjin took the wine jar and sniffed it. Secretly said: "The aroma of this wine is very strong, didn't the old man lie to the old man." Damn, if you don't cheat, you won't know if you drink it. ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't know how much he had been in the battle of life and death, but he was not afraid of poison in the wine. After thinking about it, raising the wine jar is a big sip, and swallowing it with a "bang". Cheng Biting Jin only felt a fire pass through his throat, and his mouth was full of spiciness. The old face turned red in an instant. couldn't help but praise secretly: "Damn, this wine is really fucking strong." ”

Cheng Yanjin took two more sips of wine before putting down the wine jar. said: "Carry this rebel to the meeting room, and get some meat for the old man." ”

After he finished speaking, he ignored the others in the courtyard and walked straight into the hall. The others naturally understood what Cheng Yanjin meant, and hurriedly set up Cheng Huaimo and arranged for him to go back to the room to sober up. Others ran to the kitchen to find meat for Cheng Yanjin.

Compared with the Cheng Mansion, the East Palace is much more civilized. The liquor brought back by the guards was sent to the food prison, and it was not until the eunuch who specialized in drug testing drank it before it was sent to Li Chengqian.

The palace ladies served six dishes like water, and an ounce of rice. Li Sheng's distilled liquor was also poured into a silver pot and sent to Li Chengqian's dining table.

The waiter poured a glass for Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass and took a small sip. His brows furrowed instantly, he didn't expect this wine to be so strong. With a spicy mouth, and a fire in his throat seemed to have passed, Li Chengqian didn't wait for the waiter to pick up the vegetables, and quickly took a mouthful of the dishes and sent them to his mouth.

"Except for this pot, the rest of this wine will be sent to the palace for my father to taste."
