Chapter 0040: The Charm of Fruit Wine

Qian Heng smiled and placed a small jar in front of the two. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

What was in this jar was a little fruit wine mixed with glycerin while Qian Heng was waiting for the soap to cure.

For the charm of this fruit wine, Qian Heng is still very confident.

"Teacher, Master Li, you might as well taste the wine I just got back!"

When they opened the lid of the wine jar, Huang Sheng and Li Ruoshui had already smelled the smell of fruit wine.

As a leader among the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, Huang Sheng didn't know how many kinds of wine he drank, but it was the first time that Huang Sheng smelled a fruit wine with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance in front of him. Unconsciously, Huang Shang swallowed his saliva.

Although Li Ruoshui is not as experienced as Huang Shang in drinking, he is also a long-standing figure, and he has tasted countless fine wines.

The taste alone is enough to make the two of them fascinated.

Qian Heng didn't sell anything with the two of them, took two handfuls of wine cups, placed them on the table in front of the two, poured the fruit wine in the jar, and then said with a smile, "Taste the taste of this wine first, and then talk about anything else." ā€

Without Qian Heng's push, the two of them unceremoniously picked up the wine cup and drank it dry in one gulp.

The fruit wine is not very vigorous, at most a little higher than the alcohol content of champagne according to the modern alcohol content.

There is a component called tannins in the fruit, which is the main cause of the fruit's bitterness and astringency, and even when it is made into fruit sake, the slightly bitter taste remains.

The addition of glycerin can decompose the bitter and astringent flavor of the fruit wine, and at the same time increase the aroma of the fruit wine, and the heaviness in the taste of the fruit wine, and even the originally slightly cloudy wine becomes clear and clear, and when you drink it, it will have a sweet and sour taste.

Both of them are literati who have no wine and no pleasure, when have they ever drunk this kind of fruit wine with such a mellow and sweet taste.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Huang Sheng didn't even care about putting down the wine cup, and said repeatedly, "Hengyuan, fill it up for me again." ā€

Li Ruoshui was also busy urging, "Hengyuan, also fill it for me." ā€

Seeing the two of them react like this, Qian Heng knew that this matter was done, and poured six glasses for the two of them in a row, and then stopped.

"Teacher, Master Li, how does this wine taste?"

Huang Sheng drank a few glasses, and still asked with bright eyes, "Hengyuan, did you make this wine?" ā€

Qian Heng nodded and smiled, "Teacher, didn't I just say it, if you and Master Li still want to invest, you might as well invest more money in this fruit wine, you will definitely make a lot of money." ā€

Li Ruoshui slapped his thigh, without the demeanor of a county master, "Hengyuan, this is not only a big profit, if this wine is sent to the Imperial City of Tokyo, it is enough to make all the literati crazy." ā€

Qian Heng smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and deliberately asked, "So, this matter has to be done?" ā€

Li Ruoshui nodded again and again, "There is something to do, of course there is something to do." ā€

Huang Shang also smiled, "I really don't know how you came up with this doorway, but this taste is very good, remember to send me a few jars tonight, I still have to drink with Qingqing at night, there is good wine, only then can I have a good mood!" ā€

At this time, Huang Sheng looked at Qian Heng with a playful look in his eyes, knowing that this kid must have some idea, otherwise he would definitely not be so obedient to show such a good wine for himself to taste.

I have to say that Huang Shang's eyes are still spicy, and when Qian Heng took out the wine, he knew that Qian Heng must have some idea.

However, Huang Sheng also knew that Qian Heng would not have the intention of pitting himself, so he never asked.

At this time, Huang Sheng only needed to wait for Qian Heng to say what he thought.

Qian Heng patronized the excitement, and didn't notice Huang Shang's eyes and state, and continued to look at Li Ruoshui and said, "Lord Li, it's not a problem for me to make this fruit wine, but I don't have any channels for this market, but I don't know if Lord Li can help one or two?" ā€

Speaking of this, Qian Hengcai turned his gaze to Huang Sheng again, "Teacher, what do you say?" How to sell this fruit wine, you have to ask your old man to come out. ā€

Huang Shang laughed loudly, "Hengyuan, do you want me to pull down this old face and help you get a license to make wine?" ā€

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the control of liquor qualifications was still very strict. Even in the reign of Emperor Xuanhe, the management of winemaking in official and private liquor shops was still very strict. There are even special officials in charge of liquor and liquor classes, and all procedures are strictly controlled, from liquor production to supervising liquor taxation, so that the revenue from liquor tax is firmly controlled in the hands of officials at all levels.

One of the hotels that can be qualified to sell liquor is the main store of the hotel supported by the housekeeper, which has the qualifications to make and sell liquor, and the other is the kind of small liquor shop in the village, which can also be brewed for guests to drink.

However, Qian Heng doesn't want to do this form of winemaking, whether it is a government-controlled main store or a small winery in the countryside, it needs to limit the sales scope and region, and cross-regional winery operation is not allowed.

The most critical point why Qian Heng invited Huang Sheng and Li Ruoshui to come forward is that the two have a very wide network in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and it should not be difficult to get the liquor making license from those governments. The most difficult thing is how to open up the way of cross-prefecture and county regional sales.

Almost every state and road has its own official department in charge of liquor affairs, and if you want to break the barrier of geographical restrictions, only people with identity backgrounds like Huang Sheng and Li Ruoshui can have the opportunity to open up this market.

Now that Qian Heng has mastered a large amount of glycerin, he can purchase a large amount of fruit wine at any time, and directly blend it to become a sweet and mellow high-grade fruit wine.

As for opening a restaurant or liquor store that can get the qualification of winemaking, Qian Heng has never had that thought, or rather, Qian Heng is too lazy to run a hotel because he is afraid of trouble.

Therefore, the only thing Qian Heng can count on is that Huang Sheng and Li Ruoshui can get the government's formal liquor licensing license, and the wine marketing qualifications and channels that can be sold all over the country.

Qian Heng, who had already thought of a strategy, explained with a smile, "Teacher, as long as this wine-making license can be approved, we can start blending it at any time, but for the sale of this fruit wine, the disciple wants to fight the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty." ā€

Huang Shang scolded with a smile, "Hengyuan, you don't have the courage to dare to plot the wine sales of the entire Great Song Dynasty, but if you really want to sell your fruit wine in all directions, I can recommend someone to you." ā€

As soon as he heard that Huang Sheng recommended someone again, Qian Heng scratched his head a little, after all, one more person to participate means that one more person will share the profits. Now Qian Heng is short of money, and seeing that it will not be a few years before the most critical time, Qian Heng will be so anxious and attach so much importance to the accumulation speed of this primitive capital.

However, as soon as Huang Sheng said this, Qian Heng also thought of a possibility, if the government controlled the upper position, and someone was willing to come forward to help build the wine warehouse, then the wine would be able to be marketed throughout the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Qian Hengcai asked, "Teacher, who is this person you recommend?" ā€
