Out of the gate of Zhang Fei's house, Li Qiang began to pester Gao Shun and kept asking about the wine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Shun couldn't refuse, so he had to promise him and give him an altar every month, Li Qiang was very dissatisfied and felt that Gao Shun was stingy; Gao Shun explained: "Meng Wen, this kind of wine has nowhere to buy, the cost of brewing is more than 100 yuan, and the time required is also very long, and it is worth at least 100 gold if it is sold to the outside world; Ma Gui and the others haven't even smelled it, let alone drank it, you are very lucky; If you are not satisfied, you will not even have an altar. ”

"Lord, I'm uncomfortable, how will I live in the future? After drinking this kind of wine, drinking other wine is tasteless, just like drinking water, and I would rather not drink it. ”

"Then you have to follow closely in the future, you can drink with me when I drink, and I did well last night."

After noon that day, Zhang Fei went to his family's butcher shop and liquor shop as usual.

In the butcher shop, I happened to meet Su Shuang, who came to collect the bills. This Su Shuang trafficked cattle, sheep and horses from outside the Saiwai to the mainland all the year round, and Zhang Fei's butcher shop often bought fat sheep from him for slaughter, and he had business contacts since his father's generation, and the relationship was very close, and he was Zhang Fei's elder.

Zhang Fei hurriedly invited him to enter the back hall and ordered someone to make tea immediately.

"Su Dongjia, this business has become more and more difficult to do recently, what are your plans?"

Su Shuang sighed with emotion: "Alas, it's better to be a scholar, you can be an official, you can ensure income in drought and flood, and you can also control the fate of others." ”

Zhang Fei didn't care about this, when his father was alive, let him study hard, Zhang Fei lived up to expectations, practiced a good hand, painted a good hand, and hoped to change his fate in the future and become an official. But later he found out that even if he read, he didn't have any use for fart, and he couldn't be an official at all, because his social role had been positioned: the son of a butcher could only continue to be a butcher when he grew up. The nobles are not willing to accept it, and they will not accept it. There was no one to recommend him, so he could only continue to slaughter sheep and sell wine.

However, hearing Su Shuang say this, Zhang Fei thought about it and asked: "Su Dongjia, do you say that it is better to be a civil official such as a county commander or a military general?" ”

Su Shuang didn't know why, but he pondered for a while, and as an elder, he said solemnly: "The way of heaven is getting worse and worse, and the world is getting less and more peaceful, it's better to be a general, at least have the power to protect yourself." But he was still very curious in his heart, not to mention being a county magistrate, even being a county lieutenant, or a county official in the county, and he also had a lot of power in the county, which was not comparable to these businessmen.

"Haha, thank you Su Dongjia, this is exactly what I want."

Su Shuang asked puzzledly: "Yide, what are you crazy about?" ”

Zhang Fei didn't answer directly, but asked with a smug face: "Su Dongjia, do you know why there are fewer and fewer cattle, sheep and horses on the market, and they are getting more and more expensive?" ”

"Why?"

"Do you know who is recruiting in Zhuo County?"

"Kamiya-gun! Now that the whole county is talking about it, how can I not know? ”

Zhang Fei picked up what Li Qiang said this morning and said it again.

Su Shuang suddenly brightened up and said: "No wonder the livestock of Flying Fox Road can't come in the past few months, I still think that the barbarians have come to make trouble again, and they are preparing to go to Shanggu County to buy goods, and it seems that the trade route of Juyongguan is also open." ”

Su Shuang is a merchant in Zhongshan County, selling livestock from Dai County, and taking the Flying Fox Road is a shortcut.

"Not only can't the livestock of Daijun and Shanggu County get through, but even the trade routes of Yanmen County have been cut off by them, and they say that they will avoid having people to fund the enemy."

Su Shuang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, over the years, through their hands, they have transported a lot of grain, cloth and even iron tools to the grassland, is this considered an enemy?

However, when he learned that Gao Shun and the others valued Zhang Fei so much, he was overjoyed and asked with a smile: "Yide, uncle begs you something, if you can succeed, it will make you rich?" ”

"Su Dongjia, if there are rich and expensive things, you should keep it yourself, I am going to close the store and sign up for the army tomorrow." Zhang Fei felt that what Su Shuang said was good, it was better to be an official, and in this era of turmoil, it was better to be a military attaché, this kind of opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must not miss it.

Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Yide, don't forget your uncle when you are developed, we have been in a relationship for many years." ”

"Oh, Su Dongjia, I just went to join the army, and I had to start as a small soldier, and I don't know what year and month I will be when I am developed. But don't worry, when I'm developed, I won't forget you, so I'll ask you to drink a good drink, just the kind of Shanggu sake I drank last night, it's really a rare delicacy. As he spoke, he aroused Zhang Fei's wine worm again, not for wealth and prosperity, but for the sake of being able to drink that kind of wine, he also wanted to join the army.

"Haha, what kind of good wine can make Yide so unforgettable?"

"Su Dongjia, I still have half an altar in my house, you can taste it when you have time."

With the oil of Su Shuang's old businessman, he immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity for him, so he made an appointment with Zhang Fei to visit in the afternoon and taste the taste of fine wine by the way.

Zhang Fei is a hospitable person, so he naturally agreed.

After Su Shuang went back, he immediately went to find his partner Zhang Shiping.

Explaining the intention, Zhang Shiping was not stupid, and immediately figured out the huge business opportunities, whether it was the cattle, sheep and horse business in the three counties or the exclusive agent of this kind of wine, they could make them rich and boundless.

However, he was also more cautious, and decided to adopt Su Shuang's suggestion, visit Zhang Fei first in the evening, to see if the wine was real, in addition, it is regarded as practicing for Zhang Fei before joining the army, first handle the relationship, and when Zhang Fei is developed, he is one of their backers, if Zhang Fei and Gao Shun and others meet and get their support, then they will monopolize a lot of trade in Youzhou and Bingzhou, which can not only create wealth for Gao Shun and others, but also achieve their business.

In the afternoon, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping brought a generous gift, ten catties of gold, and went to Zhang Fei's house to taste fine wine.

Of course, Zhang Fei didn't know about their fancy intestines, but simply thought that they were also good at wine, so he didn't skimp, and immediately asked people to move out the remaining half of the jar of wine from yesterday after welcoming them into the lobby.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, bursts of mellow fragrance wafted out, making Su Shuang and the others excited before drinking.

"Yide, it's really a good wine, this wine is mellow and thick, and the house is full of fragrance."

Zhang Shiping asked: "Yide, where can I buy this wine?" ”

Zhang Fei was very happy, and when he got to Dong Wine, he said ostentatiously: "Haha, there is nowhere to buy this wine, it was brought by the Governor of Shanggu County, it is called Shanggu Fine Wine, they brewed it for themselves, and there is nowhere to buy it." ”

Put the wine into a porcelain bowl, clear and transparent, white and flawless, Su Shuang and the others have never seen such a fine wine, and they can't help but praise it in their hearts, this wine must be priceless.

The Eastern Han Dynasty used grain fermentation to make wine, and when it was brewed to more than 10 degrees, the reproduction of yeast was inhibited, and the degree could not go up. At this time, the method of pressing and filtering is used to separate the lees and the juice, and the resulting wine is pressed wine, and the highest degree of wine is more than ten degrees; Because the filtration was not clean and the pigments could not be adsorbed and removed, the sake at that time contained many impurities, and the color was not as clear as that of distilled spirits.

The two of them hurriedly tasted a small sip, and there was a hot feeling in the throat, all the way to the stomach, and after drinking, the mouth was full of mellow aroma.

They are all Dong wine people, whether it is the appearance of the color, or the feeling of the mouth, and the degree of the wine, this wine is definitely a rare treasure in the world.

Zhang Fei was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and felt that there was a special face on his face.

Since he decided to join the army tomorrow, he must not drink at will after joining the army, and when he met someone who knows how to drink, he decided to have a good drink tonight, so he ordered someone to prepare wine and food quickly.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping also thought that Zhang Fei had to entertain them well because of the generous face, so they did not refuse, and hoped to have a good relationship with Zhang Fei and enhance their relationship with tonight's wine.
