Chapter 286: Wine
The fire clouds suddenly changed color, and the heavy rain swept in, and they all said that the rain was the lover of late autumn, but when the two of them were tired, Qin Hao always felt cold from the cracks in the bones.
The most suitable thing for autumn rainy days is to eat hot pot, Qin Hao deliberately built it according to the appearance of the copper pot in later generations, let the kitchen cut a few catties of beef and mutton, warm a pot of old wine, accompanied by mushrooms, cabbage, noodles, and a little bit of seafood in the pot, dipped in the sesame sauce made by himself, and immediately felt that his body seemed to be warm.
Bang bang, bang bang.
Qin Hao couldn't help frowning, it was rare to have a meal with Li Xin, Xiao Fluttershy, Xiao Yun, and Sun Er's family, if it weren't for this heavy rain, they rarely had such an opportunity, but they still couldn't help but be disturbed by outsiders, which was really a bit disappointing.
Qin Hao's mansion is a three-entry courtyard, the first two are inhabited by Xu Jie and his family and Su Dingfang, an old bachelor, ordinary guests will be notified at the gate, and those who can knock directly on the door of their courtyard are either acquaintances who are familiar with thieves, or bigwigs with special identities who do not report at all.
Seeing a bang, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open all of a sudden, and a man in a robe, whose face could not be seen clearly, broke in directly, and saw that Xiao Fluttershy and Sun Er's eyebrows were even deeper, after all, this was somewhat rude, but Qin Hao and Li Xin glanced at each other and smiled slightly bitterly, because they had already recognized who the person was.
Li Chengqian didn't care how buried he was in his feet, he entered the dining room with a body of water, hugged Qin Hao and said, "Good brother!" What a brother! It's up! It's up! It's finally up! ”
Qin Hao pushed him away in disgust, and he didn't know why he didn't even bring a bodyguard when he came out to visit the door, so he wiped the water stains on his body with a silk cloth and said, "Calm down, what's up?" ”
"Salt lead! Lone has just come back from the East Market, and now the price of this salt has risen to fifty percent, and it has not been received, and the people have put it in their pockets for a while and no one has sold it, waiting for when it can rise again. ”
Qin Hao couldn't cry or laugh, he thought that he was a dignified prince who came over in a panic, and he had been doing it for a long time because of this.
poured him a pot of hot wine, Qin Hao said: "It's only fifty percent, as for you, just count the house that my father-in-law and their princes smashed into is worth tens of millions, plus the various small actions of those princes and nobles, it's strange not to rise, fifty percent This is just the beginning, when people find that fifty percent is not sold, it will naturally rise to sixty percent, and those who have salt in their hands see that the salt has risen again, and they will inevitably hold the illusion of seventy percent and wait again. ”
Li Chengqian picked up a small glass of wine and drank it all, it was indeed comfortable to drink warm wine on a cold day, but he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and directly asked his subordinates for a pair of dishes and chopsticks to eat on the table.
"Yo, beef, this is a good thing, even a lonely meal has to be sneaky, it really deserves to be a god-given talent, this big thing feels like being played by you in the palm of your hand, Lone is now sending people to stare at the two cities, let them report the price eight times a day, they haven't slept well for several nights, and they are not too much on their side, but you, you still have the leisure to eat hot pot."
"Hehe, I set up my own bureau, of course I know it in my heart, and besides, how can there be so many people available under my white hands, and it's almost the same to let Sun Er report to me once a day, hey, don't patronize and eat beef, eat some mutton, this kind of clear water pot dipped in sesame sauce is still mutton is more delicious, and beef is more suitable for eating Jiugongge."
Li Chengqian ate and drank non-stop, and said while eating: "Okay, you are powerful, you are calm, you Taishan collapsed in front of you and your color did not change, what is the nine-square grid." ”
"Since I've made a move, I'm naturally satisfied with fifty percent, you wait and see, and I'll restore him to ten percent in a few days. Well, this nine-square grid... I don't know if I can eat it in this life. ”
Although shabu mutton is also a classic, Qin Hao always thinks that Jiugongge is more delicious, but the Sichuan pot is inseparable from chili peppers, and that thing is now far away in the Americas, although he wants to develop on the navy, but it is difficult to say how long it will take for this ocean-going technology to mature.
"Do you still have a trick? Why don't you know, don't sell it with Lone. ”
Qin Hao smiled and said: "It's not that it's a sale, it's just that the time was not ripe before, it just so happens that you are here today, it is better to come early than to come by chance, you wait for me a little." ”
Saying that, Qin Hao went down to the cellar alone, and when he came back, he was already holding a huge wine jar, and Li Xin, Xiao Fluttershy, Sun Er, Xiao Yun and others had already obediently eaten and finished the table, after all, their master and the prince were talking about major things in the world, and they were somewhat in the way here.
"What are you doing with such a big wine jar?"
had a good family banquet, but it was so ruined, which made Qin Hao feel very angry, so he poured half a cup of wine from Li Chengqian's cup half a prank and half out of anger, opened the sealing mud of his jar, and poured most of the cup to him.
"Taste it."
The tip of Li Chengqian's nose trembled, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so fragrant, this is your own wine?" I can't imagine that you still have this craft, I really don't know what else in this world you can't do. ”
As he spoke, Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then...
"Poof~~~~~!! It's spicy! It's spicy! Oh my god, I'm spicy.,This, this, this... Is this wine? How could it be so strong. ”
Qin Hao smiled and said, "This wine is called Qianjun drunk, I gave it my own name, it's not bad." ”
Li Chengqian's eyes were red, but he still stretched out his tongue and licked it carefully, frowning his eyebrows while licking: "Yes, it is indeed good wine, what does this salt have to do with it?" ”
Qin Hao said with a smile: "The reason why salt is expensive is because of the strict management of the imperial court, and the same salt is controlled by the imperial court but everyone can't do without wine, although this strong wine is good, it is made of three steamed and three brewed, which costs a lot of food, as long as the imperial court controls it a little, it is difficult for people outside to imitate, and even in the future, there will be nine steamed and nine brewed or even nine steamed and eighteen brewed excellent wines, and the food spent is the number of days, as long as the imperial court has a heart, this kind of high-level moonshine will definitely be less than private salt." ”
"You mean... Salt for wine? ”
"Yes, this year's Guanzhong is ripe, the Central Plains Dafeng, Yangzhou and Yizhou are piled up with grain, if you can make wine on a large scale, when you can resist the salt that is sent out indiscriminately, as the so-called thing does not bother the two masters, I have called the head of the Qing Gang to come to Chang'an for a meeting, this wine will be brewed by my Qing Gang, and the wine will be sent by us for the time being, especially after the wine is high, the cold is high, and the party and the Qiang clan have so much salt in their hands and are waiting to come to the Central Plains to change things, and it is appropriate to kill them with this thing."
