Chapter 19: Wu Xian

That night, Ye Chen brought back two large jars of wine, and called the kitchen to make a table of dishes, and sent the dishes to Old Man Ye's yard.

"Grandpa, bring my eldest brother over for a few drinks with grandpa tonight morning."

Ye Chen walked into Old Man Ye's courtyard and saw Old Man Ye sitting on a recliner and rocking.

Old Man Ye smiled kindly when he saw Ye Chen come in, and beckoned Ye Chen and Tai Shici to sit down.

"Chen'er, why are you so happy today, and you are still drinking with grandpa." Recently, Old Man Ye handed over most of the Ye family's business to Ye Chen, and he was cultivating at home, his spirit was very good, and his body was much tougher.

"Grandpa, there are two things about this, one is to bring my eldest brother to meet your old man, a few days ago I just told you that I married a big brother, these days are busy, I haven't had time to bring my eldest brother to meet you."

"Ci to meet grandpa." As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Tai Shici hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet Old Man Ye.

"Okay, good, it's really the dragon and phoenix among people, Chen'er is very happy to have a big brother like you, Chen'er was lonely when she was a child, and she didn't have a playmate since she was a child, I hope you can support each other in the future."

Old Man Ye saw that Tai Shi Ci had a righteous face and was polite to his elders, and with his decades of business and people's ability to see people, he knew that the other party was not a treacherous person, so he was happy for Ye Chen.

"Haha, grandpa, of course, you already know this joy, there are two joys, but this second happiness is also asked Rong Chen'er to sell it, and I will tell you later."

Ye Chen has already integrated into this era and this family, so he behaved a little more childishly in front of Old Man Ye.

"Haha, you little slippery head, you're going to sell off with grandpa."

What Ye Chen has done recently has made Old Man Ye very happy, and he is occasionally fun with Ye Chen, but he just sees him as a child who loves to be coquettish.

In fact, it's not that Ye Chen is coquettish, it's just that he regards this place as his home, his heart is a lot more relaxed, and he does things more casually.

"The head of the house, the young head of the house."

When Ye Chen was talking to Old Man Ye, Steward Wu came to visit and brought a man about thirty years old, who was dressed as a scribe and was very elegant, but his eyes were shining.

"Oh, it's Wu Xian who is back, and I've worked hard all the way." Old Man Ye was more familiar with the people brought by Steward Wu, so he greeted him first.

"Thank you for your concern, it's okay, it's just that there are some things in Luoyang that have been delayed, so I came back a little later." The man listened to Old Man Ye's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Haha, okay, you came just in time, Chen'er set up a banquet, it can be regarded as being caught up by you, stay and have a drink together, it can be regarded as a miter for Wu."

It is normal for Old Man Ye to keep Steward Wu, but it is rare that he will leave that young man as well, and there are not many people who can sit at the same table with Old Man Ye.

Ye Chen couldn't help but become interested in this person.

"Chen'er, this is the youngest son of Chief Manager Wu, called Wu Xian, and he will be the new head of the Ye family in the future."

Old Man Ye saw that Ye Chen didn't know Wu Xian, so he made an introduction.

"Wu Xian has seen the young family master." When Wu Xian heard Old Man Ye introduce himself, he hurriedly took the initiative to stand up and salute Ye Chen.

"You're welcome, I'll pick you up for you today, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."

There is no resistance to Ye Chen, the housekeeper arranged by Old Man Ye, but it still needs to be investigated about the other party's ability and whether he can meet his requirements.

As he spoke, the kitchen dishes came up, and they were good stir-fried dishes, smelling bursts of fragrance.

"Haha, Chen'er, it's time to start the banquet now, you can tell grandpa about this second joy."

Ye Chen brought the two jars of wine on the table to the front, and then said: "Grandpa, this second joy is this wine, this is the newly brewed wine ordered by Chen'er, named 'Du Kang'"

"Oh, what is so peculiar about this Du Kang wine that makes Chen'er pay so much attention to it." Old Man Ye is also a wine lover, listening to Ye Chen's words, this wine must be extraordinary, otherwise Ye Chen would not have deliberately used it to show off and invite merit.

"Grandpa, this wine is completely different from the previous wine, not only is it more mellow, but it is more refreshing for my northern boy to drink."

"Haha, okay, hurry up and let grandpa taste it." Old Man Ye's wine worm was hooked by Ye Chen, and he couldn't wait to taste it.

Ye Chen opened the seal of the wine, and the aroma of the wine suddenly permeated.

"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant"

Old Man Ye sat next to Ye Chen, smelled the aroma of wine early, and couldn't help but admire.

The rest of the people couldn't help but admire the smell of this wine, and they were drunk by the fragrance of this wine before they drank it.

Except for Tai Shici, who had already drunk it before, and there was no such thing as a gaffe, the rest of the people were all intoxicated.

"Chen'er, quick, pour a glass for grandpa."

Ye Chen hurriedly poured a full cup for Old Man Ye. Old Man Ye couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and put it on his nose to smell.

"Grandpa, this first glass of wine must be tasted slowly, and you must not be in a hurry."

Ye Chen was afraid that there would be another scene in the winemaking workshop, and a group of people spit out the wine as soon as they entered it.

With Ye Chen's words, everyone didn't pour the wine into their mouths in one gulp.

"Ahh Wine. Old Man Ye drank all the wine first and couldn't help but call out.

"Grandpa, how's the new wine?"

"Spicy, compared to what I didn't have before, it's refreshing to drink."

"Haha, of course, this is a wine that has not yet been born on the market, and now it is the only one, and there is no other semicolon."

Everyone drank the wine, and all of them spoke very highly of the wine. Joke, in the past, the alcohol content was unstable, the low one was lower than the beer of later generations, and the high one was not one or two degrees more than the beer, how could it be compared with the wine of more than 40 degrees.

"Young master, I don't know how much your wine is priced and how much it will be produced?" After drinking this wine, Wu Xian immediately discovered unlimited business opportunities, so he asked.

With Wu Xian's words, Old Man Ye and Steward Wu also pondered, they had been in the business world for decades, and of course they knew the business opportunities in it.

"Is this pricing, I plan to take the high-end route, that is, to position the wine at a high price to match our Yejia restaurant, as for the output."

Ye Chen didn't think carefully about the output before, because he didn't know how the market would react, but looking at everyone's reactions and evaluations after drinking, Ye Chen knew that the market for this liquor must be good.

Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "The output is theoretically how much there is, as long as the corresponding manpower is increased, but the price is high, but you can't produce too much wine." ”

Ye Chen's words made everyone except Tai Shici, who didn't understand business, fall into deep thought.

"Well, what the young master said is reasonable, scarcity is expensive, and this output really has to be controlled." Wu Xian, as a newcomer, should not be in a hurry, but Old Man Ye and Steward Wu have already decided to retreat to the second line, and Tai Shici doesn't understand business, so there will be no problem for him to rush to speak.

As for Ye Chen, there will be no problems, as a person in the future generations, he is relatively open and democratic, Wu Xian just said that he asked questions, not for Ye Chen's decision and rebellion.

"Chen'er, I heard that Manager Wu said that the Chen family is moving again." Old Man Ye actually got the news a long time ago, at least he believed in Ye Chen, and didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he didn't look for Ye Chen before, but the new old man was here tonight, so it was better to pay attention to it together.

"Grandpa, it's not difficult to solve this matter, but this time the Chen family has invested a lot of money, and I have a way to make him lose all his money, but I'm afraid that this will not anger the people behind him and break the net with my Ye family."

"Hmm"

Old Man Ye answered softly, picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank slowly, obviously thinking.

"The head of the family, the young head of the family, when I came here, my father had already told me about the situation faced by the Ye family, but I think the Ye family can be more radical."

Wu Xian knew through Steward Wu's words that Ye Chen was an assertive person, and he had to show his ability to be an errand under him.

"Oh, Wu Xian, you should talk about it."

"The purpose of what the Chen family has done recently is to make my Ye family not turn over, but the things are done more obscurely, and they don't dare to be too blatant, it can be seen that the Chen family is also taking care of it, either they are not prepared, or they are brewing a conspiracy or are still gathering strength."

"So no matter what the situation, at least at the moment, we don't dare to have a fierce conflict with my Ye family, we can take advantage of this time to give the Chen family a ruthless attack, disrupt the Chen family's position, and let the Chen family expose more things, which is conducive to our Ye Chen's next arrangements."

From other people's point of view, Wu Xian's analysis is very reasonable, and Ye Chen also planned to do this, but this was not the original plan, it was just planned yesterday.

I knew that there was a history of the county magistrate behind the Chen family, and there were county orders and others, although these people did not dare to be blatant, but after all, they had military power in their hands, and if the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the Ye family would be very passive.

But now Ye Chen has the confidence, the confidence is that the guard battalion already has a look, although he has not trained cold weapons, but Ye Chen has already planned to teach a few retired sergeants, and the conflict with the Chen family will not be so fast, and there is still time.

The second confidence is that Ye Chen's side is the famous Dongwu general Tai Shici, as the eldest brother of righteousness, he will not watch the younger brother being bullied.

The third confidence is that Ye Chen had already given an order a few days ago to shrink his strength and withdraw the other forces that were far away from the center of the Ye family.

The caravan alone will come back one after another with two or three thousand people, and more than a thousand of these people are guards, who have practiced the style. Together with the other guards of the Ye family, there are already three or four thousand people.

In this era, the magistrates did not have the power to recruit troops on their own, and if this force gathered around the Ye family, even the troops in the county would not be as large as the Ye family.

Therefore, at this time, Ye Chen was no longer afraid of a head-on conflict with the Chen family, so he would agree with Wu Xian's analysis.

"Well, Wu Xian's analysis is reasonable, it's time for us to make the Chen family pay the price."

So Ye Chen briefly told everyone about the strategy to deal with the Chen family, and everyone listened to it, as if it was not Ye Chen who was talking to them, but an old fox who had been up and down in the business world for decades like Old Man Ye.
