Chapter 70: The Little Profiteer

Li Bai has 100 poems, and 10 drunken words!

People like to put the two geniuses together, Yaochi Qiong Jelly, by the way, it becomes poetic, plus Zhao Zhen's favor, full of extravagance, and the sky-high price of 1,200 yuan in an altar, both rich and expensive, but also with elegant style, it is simply the best artifact of giving gifts and bribes, killing people and setting fires, traveling at home, and pretending to be a show!

Almost instantly, Yaochi Qiong Jelly surpassed Sichuan's goose yellow and jumped to the first place on the wine list. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is said that there are even 3,000 people on the black market!

Just when everyone was stunned by this number, Zhao Zhen burned another handful of firewood.

In view of the complex process of Yaochi agar and the extremely low output, only 1,000 jars are produced every year, of which 500 jars are supplied to Da Nei, and the other 500 jars are all marked, presided over by the household department, and openly bought, according to the bidding level, to obtain the agent sales right of Yaochi agar jelly.

This order is no less than adding fuel to the fire!

1,000 altars is just 10,000 catties!

Another half was handed over to Ouchi, and the remaining 500 jars were labeled, which means that each jar of wine is unique and valuable!

Moreover, the household department openly buys, how can ordinary businessmen be involved, most of them are the noble clans of the imperial court, as well as the gentry and wealthy merchants, and when they resell it outside, many people estimate that a jar of wine is likely to be sold for 10,000 yuan!

Xinfeng wine bucket is ten thousand, and Yaochi Qiong Jelly is a thousand times more expensive!

Let not let people live?

All the people were dumbfounded and sighed. However, with the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, there are still many people who can afford to drink the Yaochi elixir.

In particular, several major generals are gearing up, wanting to grab the agency right of 500 jars of fine wine, no need to do anything else, just selling wine, let alone making more than one million yuan a year, is there such a good business?

An old woman of sixty or seventy years old, with a handsome young man less than twenty, left the Yang Mansion and headed straight for Cangzhou...... Uncle Cao Tong even went directly to the palace and went to his sister and brother-in-law for help.

All parties moved for a jar of wine.

The great name of Yaochi Qiong Jelly came out of the Great Song Dynasty, and even spread to the Liao State and Western Xia, the Liao Emperor sent a messenger to meet Zhao Zhen, and presented two buckets of East Pearl, and Zhao Zhen gave Qiong Jelly an altar in return.

Wine is more expensive than Dongzhu!

The envoy of the Liao State returned to the country with the elixir, and the emperor of the Liao State, Yeluzong, was really furious, Zhao Zhen dared to bully me like this!

He grabbed the waist knife full of gems, roared sharply, and vowed to lead the troops to the south and give Zhao Zhen a good look.

How do you know that after drinking a bowl of wine, Yeluzong will really get drunk immediately.

When I got up the next day, the generals of Da Liao had gathered outside the imperial account, full of righteous indignation, shouting to find Zhao Zhen to settle accounts. How do you know that Yelu Zong was really full of sighs and tears.

"I have countless East Pearls, but there is only one altar of Qiong Jelly, if the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is willing, I am willing to use ten buckets of East Pearls in exchange for a jar of Qiong Jelly!"

……

With the approval of the emperors of the two dynasties, the great name of the elixir is unstoppable, and whether it is the merchants of Song Liao, they are all gearing up and eager to get the Yaochi elixir.

Xu Jie is a businessman from Youzhou, and his business is very big, but since last year, the original partner Cui's family has been bulldozed in one fell swoop, and Xu Jie, who has lost the source of goods, has fallen into business difficulties.

Xu Jie was almost sad overnight, and he had to come to the Bazhou Field of the Great Song Dynasty to try his luck. As soon as he arrived in Bazhou, he got a good news, saying that there were people in Bazhou who sold elixir, as long as 500 yuan a jar.

"Go get me a jar."

"Yes, young master." The servant ran out for a long time, panting, and brought back a jar for Xu Jie.

Xu Jie carefully lifted the seal, and the rich aroma of wine came to his nose, which made him feel refreshed!

Sure enough, it's a good wine!

He poured the wine into the bowl, looked at it for a while, frowned, there were some undetectable particles in the wine, slightly cloudy, and after taking a sip, the wine was so hot that it caught fire in his mouth!

What a rush!

"It's not a elixir!" Xu Jie shook his head.

The servant immediately jumped to his feet and scolded: "What a shameless liar, I will go to them to settle accounts." ”

"Don't!" Xu Jie thought about it and asked the servant to fetch two mink skins as gifts.

"Go, find the people who sell the liquor, and say I want to have a good talk with them, don't scare them."

The servant didn't know why, but he still did it, this time he was familiar with the road, and in an hour, he brought the person, Xu Jie looked up and down, the other party was wearing satin, but it obviously didn't fit well, his face and neck were all purple and red, his palms were rough, and his joints were swollen, especially when he looked at people, he unconsciously lowered his head, and his eyes were full of unconfidence......

"Hehe, friend, don't you do business often, do you?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Do it, why don't you do it!" I've been doing it for most of my life! ”

"Most of your life? Then how dare you lie to me with a fake elixir? Xu Jie said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will report it to the yamen immediately, and you will wait to eat in prison!" ”

As soon as he was so powerful, the other party immediately coaxed.

"Don't, don't, we're real, really ......"

"Phew, you can't drink it when I can? This thing is worth tens of thousands? ”

"Didn't I sell 10,000?" The other party was muttering and defending, Xu Jie asked again and again, and he finally told the truth...... It turned out that they were the brewing craftsmen of the Cui family, and the so-called Yaochi agar was the latest kind of soju made by the Cui family.

They know some of the process of making wine, but they don't know everything, so they can only brew some in order to make a living, and they want to subsidize their families.

"This uncle, I'm just working, I don't know anything, don't send me to prison, I still have seven or eight children!"

"Hmph, if you dare to deceive people, you have to wait to go to prison!"

Xu Jie cursed viciously, the other party kept begging, crying so much, Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I'm a soft-hearted person, I can't stand others crying!" In this way, I will give you a way to live, and it depends on whether you can walk or not! ”

"Go, go, I'll listen to you."

"I want all your wine, I can't give 500 guan, how about 50 guan?"

"No!" The other party was really anxious, "It's troublesome to brew this wine, I want some food, hundreds of processes, if I make a mistake, I will give up all my efforts, 50 times, I might as well farm the land." ”

Xu Jie snorted and said contemptuously: "Greedy for money and lifeless things, it's okay, I'll give you 80 yuan, if you dare to ask for more, I will send you to the yamen immediately!" ”

"Just, just give 80?" This person chattered for a long time, lowered his head and was pitiful, and finally could only nod, "It's done, I agreed, but you have to pay half of the money first, I, I don't believe you, yes, I don't have money to buy food and invite people." ”

Xu Jie thought for a long time, "Yes, but I want to see the wine as soon as possible, and within a month, send me 100 jars." ”

……

Sent away the mud legs, Xu Jie was about to laugh crazy!

Although this wine is not as good as the legendary Yaochi elixir, it is strong enough! The key is that it is cheap enough, and no one in the Khitan herdsmen can refuse!

Besides, how many people have seen Yaochi Qiong Jelly, it is completely possible to pass off this wine as such.

80 guan a jar, when the time comes, sell a few hundred, earn a few times the difference, just like drinking cold water, cool, so cool! Business came back to life all at once!

Xu Jie was drunk excitedly, and Uncle Wu was as drunk as he was - the man he played as a wine seller!

"Fourth brother, do you know it, when he said 50 guan a jar, I almost nodded! That Liao man is simply stupid, he also added it to 80 guan, how does he know, we have a jar of wine, which is the cost of 800 Wen. Sold 80 pieces, this, how many times is this, I can't even count it! ”

Uncle Wu fiddled with a few rough fingers and smiled from ear to ear.

……

The drunkard Ouyang Xiu sat in the study, also feeling infinitely emotional, and Wang Ningan was standing opposite him. Old Ouyang sighed with emotion: "It's really hard for you to come up with it, sell the real thing as a fake!" ”

Wang Ningan said: "But the fake is sold for four times the price of the real thing, is it magical?" ”

"Little ...... Traitor...... Business! Ouyang Xiu squeezed out three words from between his teeth.
