Chapter 16 A gourd of distillation is immortal liquor
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and said to Xiao Er: "Say that you are not happy, I am difficult to buy in this world, how can you compare to this ordinary wine?" ”
Xiao Er was also angry, "Our wine shop is famous in Nanyang, and this wine is also the best wine in Nanyang, why can't it be compared to your wine?" ”
Zhang Yi put the wine bowl in front of Xiao Er, "Come, take a sip, I'll convince you!" ”
Xiao Er didn't believe in evil, and immediately picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. Before he could take a sip of wine, the spicy smell came up, burning Xiao Er's face red.
The person next to him saw it really, this little two worked in a wine shop all day long, even if he couldn't drink, he would be smoked into an alcoholic, why did he blush after a sip of wine?
Xiao Erqiang swallowed this wine, he didn't expect the degree of this wine to be so high. Of course, at this time, there is no such thing as a degree, just a different wine.
Because he was so choked, Xiao Er couldn't help but cough a few times. He looked at the wine in his hand in surprise, then looked at Zhang Yi, and asked very surprised, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
"Don't say! Unspeakable! Zhang Yi pretended to be mysterious, he hadn't thought of the name of the wine yet, and if he directly called it Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid, it would be too low.
Xiao Er only when he didn't want to say, he hurriedly put down the bowl respectfully, "The little one was offended just now, please don't blame the immortals!" ”
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! ”
The shopkeeper of the wine shop over there was also alarmed, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Er and asked about the situation. When he heard Xiao Er finish talking about the wine, his eyes immediately lit up.
The shopkeeper respectfully saluted Zhang Yi and asked, "I don't know where the immortals came from?" ”
Zhang Yi immediately looked at him, "I am the Changchun son of Wudang Mountain, specializing in "Lao Tzu's Five Thousand Words" for decades, and now I am going down the mountain to spread Taoism, prepare to build Taoist temples, and make some plans for things after death!" ”
The shopkeeper is stunned, you tease me! Do you look like this? Tell me about decades of practice? Still planning for the aftermath? But he has a request! I had to laugh together: "The immortals are really good-looking!" However, since the immortals want to build a Taoist temple, the money they need will not be less, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gather it for a while. ”
Zhang Yi looked at him and didn't speak.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I have a way to let the immortals make up this fee as soon as possible." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Yi showed an interested expression.
The shopkeeper said, "We want to charge you for 50 yuan per bucket." ”
Zhang Yi looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, the price of wine in Wancheng is basically 32 yuan a bucket, and the better ones can be sold for fifty or sixty yuan a bucket.
The bucket in the Han Dynasty was relatively large, and one bucket was equivalent to two catties of wine. When he bought ten catties of wine, it was 13 yuan a bucket, and ten catties was five buckets, and it cost 65 yuan. After distillation, he got about two catties, that is, a bucket of wine, and he collected 50 yuan, and Zhang Yi paid 15 yuan.
The shopkeeper was furious by Zhang Yi, so he stubbornly said, "I don't know what the immortals want?" ”
Zhang Yi ignored him, took the bowl of wine from before, and continued to drink.
The shopkeeper was in a hurry, "Or 100 yuan?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi took the bowl away from his mouth again. That's what doing business looks like! He put the bowl in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Taste it too." ”
The shopkeeper picked up the bowl and tasted it lightly, his eyes lit up at once, and then he drank the rest of the wine with his head up. After putting down the bowl, the shopkeeper was in good spirits, and he was about to shout good wine, but he listened to it stiffly.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Yi, but found that Zhang Yi looked at him with a smile, and immediately knew that his intention to lower the price had been recognized.
Seeing that he couldn't fool people, the shopkeeper said: "Immortal, I haven't drunk this wine before, and I don't know how powerful this wine is. Your wine is worth 300 bucks a bucket! ”
Zhang Yi shook his head lightly and said, "1000 money!" ”
"A thousand dollars?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened, this is too exaggerated, right?
"It's a thousand dollars! Don't sell for a penny! "Zhang Yi is very resolute.
For Zhang Yi's "stubbornness", the shopkeeper has no way at all. Is a thousand a lot of money? A lot! That's almost enough to buy an acre of ordinary land, or five pigs, or ten stone grains.
But is it worth spending a thousand dollars on this wine? Absolute value!
During the Three Kingdoms period, the most expensive wine was the wine from the Western Regions, and Meng He, a Fufeng man, once took a piece of wine (20 liters) to bribe Zhang Rang, and he got the official position of Liangzhou Thorn History.
Although Zhang Yi's wine is not as expensive as wine, it is definitely worth a thousand dollars. So the shopkeeper agreed to Zhang Yi's price without much thought.
"Then I don't know if this wine is also sold!" The shopkeeper said.
"This wine is not enough for a bucket!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's just a bucket, and it won't be too bad if you think about it." However, all the wine from the immortals will be sold to my wine shop! ”
"At this time, naturally, before I raise enough money for the Taoist temple, I will sell all the wine to your family!" Zhang Yi agreed.
"This ......" shopkeeper is also entangled! This chief only sells wine to raise money, but what if he raises enough?
"Don't be greedy!" Zhang Yi put away the usual money that Xiao Er had brought, put the wine gourd on the table, and stood up: "The day after tomorrow, I will bring ten buckets over." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt a little less, and hurriedly asked, "Can you have more?" ”
Zhang Yi laughed: "You say this wine is ordinary?" ”
The shopkeeper wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Zhang Yi, "I will sell you as much as I take, don't say much!" ”
"Alas!" The shopkeeper is out of temper, but this is really stubborn!
Zhang Yi walked out of the wine shop and walked out of the city. After a while, he felt someone following him, and he turned into an alley, and with his skills, he climbed over a wall and reached the other side in a few clicks.
The man who followed him into the alley saw that there was no one inside! Looking at the walls on both sides that are as high as more than a zhang, it is by no means something that ordinary people can climb, and I am immediately amazed.
After Zhang Yi heard that the people outside the wall were gone, he climbed over the high wall and came out. It's a big family here, but luckily it's a garden, otherwise you might have been caught!
It seems that one must think of a foolproof solution!
Zhang Yi thought about it as he returned home and began to prepare to put the brewing base outside the city.
After the shopkeeper over there got the wine, he immediately told Xiao Er to look at the store, and sent a clever person to keep an eye on Zhang Yi. I ran directly to the master's house, saw the head of the house, and said: "Today, the little one bought a bottle of fairy wine, and I came to offer it to the master of the house!" ”
"Immortal wine?" The head of the family didn't believe it, "What wine can be called immortal wine?" ”
"This is purchased from the Changchun immortals of Wudang Mountain, it is several times stronger than ordinary wine, and non-gentlemen are not allowed to drink it!" The shopkeeper glanced at the head of the house.
The head of the house was stunned, poured some wine, took a sip, and choked and coughed. He pondered it for a while, and then said loudly: "Sure enough, it is immortal wine, my virtue is insufficient, and I am afraid that I will not be blessed." Come! Prepare the car, I want to go to Xiangyang and dedicate this wine to Liu Jingzhou! ”
