Chapter 79: A Book of Benefits
Cheng Yanjin booked ten bottles of Shiquan Tonic Wine from Li Xiao, and then waved his hand to call his entourage to give Li Xiao a deposit, a piece of gold, it is really gold and not copper. The entourage of the Cheng family also took out a small scale that he had brought with him and weighed the weight of this piece of gold in person, which was ten taels.
There is even a seal on this piece of gold when it was collected in the palace, and at a glance you know that it was given to Cheng by the royal family.
Ten taels of gold, at today's market price, one tael of silver can be worth five yuan, and one tael of gold can be worth eight yuan. Cheng Biting Jin's gold is in such good condition, it must be worth more, and it is estimated that it can be worth more than 80 yuan.
Ten bottles of medicinal wine sell for more than 80 times?
It's a huge profit.
"Cheng Lao Guogong, I don't deserve it, it's just a few bottles of medicinal wine."
"If you want to accept it, you will accept it, when will I Cheng Biting Jin drink other people's overlord wine." You are a junior, I have to carry you, I can't take advantage of you. You're not too little, are you? โ
Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, a bottle of medicinal wine is only a catty, although it is necessary to use several medicinal materials such as codonopsis, but it can't use so much money." โ
Lao Cheng didn't care, "As long as this medicinal wine can really have the effect of warming and replenishing qi and blood as you say, it will be worth it." Medicine and wine, this is not just wine, this is medicine. โ
Cheng Biting Jin has been fighting horses all his life, fighting countless battles, and suffering countless injuries on his body, and now that he is older, although his body is still tough, he is actually not as good as before. For example, his good brother Qin Qiong passed away as early as the beginning of Zhenguan, because he had shed too much blood in the previous war, and then his body was always weak, resulting in an early death.
Seeing this, Li Xiao didn't hide it from Cheng Biting Jin, and said directly, "This Shiquan Great Tonic Medicinal Wine, its practical is the recipe of the Ten Great Tonic Soup, which is increased or subtracted, with Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria cocos, licorice, Angelica, Chuanxiong, White Peony, Rehmannia Rehmannia, Astragalus, Cinnamon and other medicinal materials, supplemented by shochu and sucrose, and the brewed medicinal wine is a reddish-brown clear liquid, with a fragrant flavor and flavor. โ
"It is mainly used to replenish qi and blood, and is used for qi and blood deficiency, paleness, shortness of breath and palpitations, dizziness and sweating, fatigue and fatigue, and warmth in the limbs."
Li Ji nodded on the side, "This is indeed a recipe for the perfect supplement, and using the medicinal materials of this recipe to make wine is estimated to have a similar effect." โ
Li Xiao explained, "The general prescription is decoction and stew, but my medicinal wine is mainly soaked in soju slowly, which has the function of invigorating blood and passing through the meridians, so taking medicinal wine is more effective than ordinary decoction and stew." โ
"As long as the effect is good, I am not short of money, if it can really be effective, I will thank you again at that time."
He said and looked at Li Ji, and said to Li Xiao, "Do you have any good medicine and wine that can sleep peacefully, Mao Gong is now in the center, and he has all kinds of opportunities, I heard that he often can't sleep at night, is there any medicine and wine in this regard?" โ
"I have a cure for insomnia, but I have to ask the British public what the situation is. I have Changsheng wine, Yangshen wine, salvia wine, Yangchun wine, and wolfberry jujube wine here, each of which has its own emphasis, and needs to be selected based on the actual situation of the British public. โ
Li Ji smiled slightly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that occasionally when the official duties are heavy, I don't sleep very well, and it's not as serious as Lao Cheng said." โ
"I watched the British duke's beard turn white early, and I heard that he was restless at night, so may I ask if the British duke still has weakness in the waist and knees, palpitations and forgetfulness?" Li Xiao asked.
Li Ji hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to Li Xiao. He does have these symptoms, he is just over sixty this year, this age is actually quite young, but his head is indeed gray, and he even looks older than Cheng Yanjin.
It is said that he is now ranked as the third duke, and the official is Zaifu, but in fact, he is also under great pressure, and he often feels like walking on thin ice, and often can't sleep at night.
"If this is the case, then I think that the UK can take longevity wine, which is effective in nourishing the liver and kidneys, invigorating sperm and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, and calming the nerves and sleeping. This medicinal liquor is made from medicinal herbs such as wolfberry, cocoon, shengdi, rehman, dogwood, hyssop, yuanzhi, wujiapi, calamus, and digupi brewed with shochu. โ
"Ying Gong takes two dollars a day, don't drink too much, and don't eat radishes during the period."
Li Ji smiled and was noncommittal. His current status, usually a little uncomfortable, it is the palace doctor who comes to see and consult, a young man like Li Xiao casually prescribes a medicinal wine for him to drink, of course he will not be gullible. However, he didn't refuse immediately, since Cheng Biting Jin dared to drink it, then he might as well take it back and go to the imperial doctor to see if it was really feasible, he could also try it.
His insomnia had indeed bothered him for a long time, and the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor had never had a good effect.
"Okay, tomorrow I will ask the servant to bring you ten taels of gold, and I will make ten bottles first." Li Ji said with a smile.
Ten taels of gold, in the eyes of these bigwigs, seems to be like ten copper coins.
Although Li Xiao refused, they all looked like you didn't accept it or looked down on me, so he had to be flattered to accept it first.
In fact, Li Xiao is still quite confident in his own medicinal wine, because in later life, his grandfather was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he also liked to drink, and his favorite was to brew all kinds of medicinal wine, what five snake wine, and even a hundred rat wine, which is a shrimp man's medicinal wine, not to mention all kinds of health care and what kind of medicinal wine for smelting diseases, Li Xiao used to stay at his grandfather's house every summer vacation, and over time, he also learned a lot of things.
For example, what he just said to Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji is a genuine recipe for medicine and wine. (Readers, don't read novels, read medical books, remember.) ๏ผ
Although in later generations, all kinds of health care products were popular, and many things were deceptive, but Li Xiao's grandfather's medicinal wine was still very good, after all, it was a genuine thing, not like a few walnut drinks, saying that there were several, but it was said that the content was less than two.
Not to mention some ginseng wine in later generations, many of them are brewed with artificially raised ginseng, and even the wine soaked in ginseng is blended wine.
Everything is fake and impure, do you think this last thing can be good?
There are still few fakes in these years, such as Chinese herbal medicines, which are really mostly natural and wild, and the medicinal effect is good. Another example is Li Xiao's wine, which is full of pure grain soju.
"I didn't expect Saburo to be so good, do you see if there is a medicinal wine suitable for me to drink, I used to ยทยทยทยทยท" Xue Rengui is also very face-saving.
Li Xiao immediately turned into an old Chinese medicine doctor, looked at it and asked him, and finally concluded that there was nothing wrong with Xue Rengui, but as a military general, he was about to go to the battlefield again, what kind of musculoskeletal injury and sword trauma could also be encountered, so he planned to get him a few bottles of medicinal wine that invigorated blood and dissolved stasis, bruises, and Jinchuang hemostasis.
"There is such a good wine, then we need to prepare a little more, the Eastern Crusade is imminent, the march is going to war, Jin Chuangyao needs it the most, San Lang, how much can you get out, I want it all, the more the merrier."
Unexpectedly, Lao Cheng directly threw out a large order.
"Old Guogong, I don't have many people here, so I can't get much for a while."
"Then you can recruit more people, the medicinal materials are not enough, you tell me directly, I will send someone to help you buy, if there is any difficulty, you can just say."
As soon as Lao Cheng said this, Li Xiao felt that he could really get a medicinal distillery right away, and with Lao Cheng's order, this business was promising.
