Chapter 26: Raising a Glass and Borrowing Momentum

Historically, Changsun Chong was the concubine of Princess Changle.

Chen Yu subconsciously thought that the eldest grandson Chong should be the same age as Li Lizhen, and now he should be a teenager who is only seven or eight years old.

Who would have thought that the person standing in front of him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

You must know that his father, Sun Wuji, is only in his early thirties now.

I have to say that in ancient times, the age of marriage and childbearing was generally early, and it was common for three generations to be in the same house in their thirties.

As for royal marriages, age doesn't matter.

In order to praise and win over the eldest brother-in-law's eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin and his wife were happy to marry their daughter to their nephew, who was nearly ten years older.

However, this is all later, and now there is no marriage contract between Changsun Chong and Li Lizhen.

As for Du Wei, he is slightly older, seventeen or eighteen years old, but his temperament is a little dull, in other words, he can also be said to be steady in words and deeds.

In my impression, Du Ruhui has a son who is also a colt, but I don't think it will be Du Wei.

The three of them sat down in a wooden building, which was far away and could see the green end of the south, and the sparkling waves of the Weihe River in the near distance, which can be described as an excellent scenery.

A few exquisite dishes were served, and the eyes of Changsun Chong and Du Wei immediately lit up and they were greatly appreciated.

They didn't expect that there would be such exquisite and delicious food in the countryside, and they would lose the elegance and demeanor of the sons of the family for a while.

Seeing this, Chen Yu smiled and said nothing.

Restricted by iron-smelting technology, Datang's iron pot was too thick to cook stir-fried vegetables.

The few iron pots that exist in the farmhouse restaurant are still specially made by Chen Yu looking for a blacksmith and bothering to make them in January, but they are only barely used, and they cook the unique stir-fried dishes in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the eating appearance of Changsun Chong, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the ancients, the diet in this era was really too rough.

Even the princely family is no exception, let alone the ordinary people's family.

Thinking of the time when he ate bean porridge every day in winter last year and burped constantly, Chen Yu also felt that the past was unbearable.

As for the wine, Changsun Chong brought Sanle pulp, which is said to be a gift from the palace and one of the best spirits in the world, and ordinary people have no chance to taste it.

It was specially brought by the eldest grandson of Princess Qin, as a thank you gift to Chen Yu, which can be regarded as a generous gift.

However, Chen Yu took a sip, then put down the wine glass and shook his head again and again.

Can this be called wine?

It's just a fruity drink that contains alcohol, and it tastes weird and tastes terrible, and it really doesn't deserve the word good wine.

"What? Chen Xiaolangjun can't get used to drinking? ”

Changsun Chong couldn't help but be stunned, Sanle Pulp is a good wine from the Western Regions, better than the common plum wine in the Central Plains, Pu Tao wine, expensive and scarce, there are not many people who have the opportunity to drink it.

Chen Yu, a country boy, was disdainful of this, and his taste was very high...... It's kind of weird.

"It's a little lighter."

The eldest grandson Chong was surprised: "Light? Sanle pulp is more mellow than ordinary wine, and at present, there is probably no stronger wine in Chang'an City. ”

"Maybe I'm a big taste!"

Du Wei echoed lightly: "It seems that Chen Xiaolangjun is a hero of the wine country and a good drinker. ”

"But if the three pulps are not to your taste, I'm afraid... There is no wine in the world to enter Chen Xiaolangjun's mouth. ”

The eldest grandson shook his head, probably feeling that Chen Yu was pretending to be ×, complaining in disguise about the light gift of the Qin Palace.

"What if there was a drink in the world that could be more mellow and stronger?" Chen Yu looked at it in his eyes, did not hurry, and asked with interest.

"If you can't ask for it, the mellow wine will naturally taste better and drink it more freely."

Eldest Sun Chong smiled, suddenly looked stunned, frowned and wondered, "What?" Could it be that Chen Xiaolangjun has a more mellow drink? ”

"Not yet, but I have a way to make it."

Chen Yu's gaze swept over the faces of the two, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if the two sons are interested?" ”

When it comes to the most lucrative business in ancient times, winemaking was definitely a big business opportunity, and it was the most popular money-making industry after salt and iron.

But again, any profitable business will always be coveted by capital.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty is mainly concentrated in the hands of powerful officials and families.

Not only rich, but also powerful, can be used to steal and seize in an open fire.

It has been a few months since he came to Datang, and Chen Yu has already calculated the business that can make money, and he obviously has a way to make money, but he doesn't dare to do it easily.

The little brine and tofu are all in the mind, not to mention the highly profitable spirits.

How can a wealthy family be indifferent to its profiteering level?

Power, backer!

Indispensable.

Shangyuan Festival happened to meet the eldest grandson in Guanyin Temple, and Chen Yu was a little excited in his heart.

Qin Wangfu is definitely a very strong and stable backer in Datang, with unlimited prospects.

However, there has been no news from the Qin Palace, and it was not until today that Changsun Chong and Du Gou came to the door.

No matter what their considerations are, the opportunity is rare, how can Chen Yu let it go?

Luoyang Changsun clan, Jingzhao Du clan.

The two families are second to none, and the former is also a relative of the future descendants.

What's more, there are also the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui behind them, both of whom are the prime ministers of the future Zhenguan Dynasty.

To a certain extent, the Qin Wangfu is also an endorsement of their strength.

Chen Yu knows better than anyone that in three months, Li Shiming and his wife will become the supreme of the Tang Dynasty.

If you don't invest now, when?

"Chen Xiaolangjun, what do you mean by this?" The eldest grandson frowned, interested.

Chen Yu said lightly: "I know how to make mellow liquor, and I plan to open a winemaking workshop, and I want to cooperate with the two of you." ”

"Oh?"

Changsun Chong and Du Wei glanced at each other, and by chance, there was an unexpected gain.

Thinking of some rumors, Changsun Chong did not doubt Chen Yu's ability to make wine... Maybe he can.

It's just cooperation......

The eldest grandson Chong asked: "I heard that the business of the tofu workshop in your place is booming, and Xiao Langjun can completely open a wine shop on his own, so why do you want to cooperate with us?" ”

"I think the two of you have also heard of it, and this tofu workshop alone has had twists and turns. How can wine and tofu be the same day, in the countryside and villages, the strength is weak, and it is difficult to support alone! ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I need to borrow the situation and borrow the family strength of the two sons." Of course, it would be best if you could invest some money by the way. ”

Eldest Sun Chong and Du Gou suddenly heard that the servants of the Zheng clan in Xingyang had come here to buy and sell, thanks to Chen Shuda who inadvertently broke the siege.

It is not surprising that Chen Yu wants to take advantage of the situation, especially the profiteering of wine, which is the practice of smart people.

Although the son of the family disdains businessmen, but the family needs a lot of money, with such business opportunities in front of him, how can the eldest grandson Chong let it go?

What's more, when he was leaving today, his father deliberately gave that explanation, and if he wanted to agree to it, his father should not object.

"Very good, then thank Chen Xiaolangjun first." The eldest grandson agreed with a smile.

Chen Yu immediately turned to look at Du Gou, the Jingzhao Du clan was in the nearby Du Ling, in Chang'an, especially in the south of the city, the prestige and influence were incomparable.

Chengnan Weidu, go to Tianshakuwu!

These folk proverbs are not spoken in vain.

Du Wei pondered for a moment, looked at Changsun Chong again, nodded and said, "If you can really make mellow spirits, you can't ask for it." ”

"Du Wei, don't worry, Chen Xiaolang's wonderful hands will not let us down."

Chen Yu swore an oath: "This is no problem, the two of you are waiting for good news." ”
