Chapter 311: Acting
Whether it's true or not, in short, on the day of the opening of Cen's Distillery, there was a sea of people at the door. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, most of these people are bustling, but very few actually come to buy alcohol. Even if there are really people who want to taste good wine, they have already shrunk back in fright by the sky-high price marked at the door of the winery: a pound of ancient wine costs a hundred taels of silver.
You must know that it only costs twenty-five yuan to eat and stay in an ordinary inn for a day, and the price of a pound of wine is one hundred taels of silver, which is enough to eat and live in the inn for more than a year.
But the more this happened, the more curious everyone became, wondering if this wine could be sold, and who would come to buy this first jar of wine.
Just as everyone was talking, a passage suddenly opened in the crowd, and a group of errand servants walked to the door of the wine shop with a few people.
"It's Liang Thorn Shi who is here!" Someone in the crowd muttered quietly.
"It's not just the history of Liang Thorn, but also the King of Linzi, Shi Sima, Tian Changshi, and the biggest officials in Luzhou have all arrived!"
"Are they here to buy wine?"
"Buying alcohol?" An old man said indignantly on the side: "Which of you has seen people from the Luzhou government buy things and pay for them? The shopkeeper of this Cen Clan's Wine Workshop is estimated to have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die! ”
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and they all stretched their necks to see what Liang Dequan was going to do.
"Liang Tingshi, it's really lively here!" A beautiful man next to Liang Dequan had a smile on his face.
It was none other than Cui Xiang who spoke.
How did Cui Xiang appear in Luzhou? No need to ask, it must have nothing to do with Zhang Baoer.
That's right, Cui Xiang was invited by Zhang Baoer.
The disappearance of Changle Gate marks the official opening of the contest between Zhang Baoer and Liang Dequan and others.
Today's Zhang Baoer is no longer like before when he only knows how to fight alone, and he will make full use of all the resources he has to deal with Liang Dequan, and Cui Xiang is an important part of this.
As early as a month ago, Zhang Baoer sent someone to invite Cui Xiang and asked him to try to come to Luzhou to be proud of himself.
Cui Xiang has always had no hesitation in Zhang Baoer's request, and this time is of course no exception.
So, there is this scene now.
"yes, I haven't seen such a scene in years!" Liang Dequan laughed on the side.
It stands to reason that Cui Xiang and Liang Dequan's grades are almost the same, but in any case, Cui Xiang is a Beijing official and a servant of the Ministry who is in charge of the promotion of officials.
Besides, there is also a Shangguan Wan'er known as the "Prime Minister of Women" behind Cui Xiang, although Liang Dequan is Queen Wei's person, he does not dare to offend Cui Xiang easily.
Cui Xiang arrived in Luzhou, and Liang Dequan was very thoughtful.
Cui Xiang chic to Cen Shaobai, who was standing in front of the door of Cen's Wine Workshop, arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Cen, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
"Huh? It turned out to be Choi Shilang! Cen Shaobai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Cui Xiang, and hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, when did you come to Luzhou?" ”
How could Cen Shaobai not know that Cui Xiang came to Luzhou, and the reason why Cen's Wine Shop has not opened for a long time is to wait for Cui Xiang.
chose to open today, also because I learned the news of Cui Xiang's arrival in Luzhou. Since it is acting for Liang Dequan to see, of course it must be acted realistically.
"I arrived yesterday!" Cui Xiang's eyebrows fluttered and said: "In Chang'an, I heard that you have an ancient treasure wine here, and people can't sit still." You know, I have a soft spot for good wine, so naturally I want to follow the taste to Luzhou to see it. No, it's just in time for the opening of your winery! ”
Cui Xiang's words make people can't hear any flaws, and it can be seen that Cui Xiang is also very good at acting.
"Don't worry, Master Cui, I will never let you come in vain!" Cen Shaobai is very confident.
"Is this wine really as good as you say? Not only does it taste great, but it also has a strong taste? Cui Xiang asked deliberately.
"That's true!" Cen Shaobai nodded.
"Shopkeeper Cen, although we are acquaintances, but there is no basis for what we say, I have to verify and verify!" Cui Xiang stared at Cen Shaobai.
"Of course, this can be!" Cen Shaobai patted his chest and said, "I don't know how Master Cui verifies?" ”
"This taste is excellent, and you won't be able to believe it, so let's verify how strong this wine is!" Cui Xiang proposed.
"Just Lord Yicui! If someone can drink three catties of ancient wine without getting drunk on the spot, how about giving all the wine in my wine shop to Cui Shilang? It seems that Cen Shaobai is very sure.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly sweat for Cen Shaobai. You must know that there is no problem for ordinary middle-aged men to drink three catties of wine, and if you want to meet a good drinker, even if you drink seven or eight catties, it is not uncommon, Cen Shaobai said this a little too much.
Although Cui Xiang was expressionless on his face, he couldn't help but sweat for Zhang Bao'er in his heart. But since Zhang Baoer arranged it like this, he had to cooperate with Cen Shaobai to perform this scene well.
"If this wine is really like what you say, then I will buy two hundred catties!" Cui Xianghao said angrily.
Hearing Cui Xiang say this, the crowd suddenly became noisy: two hundred catties of ancient wine cost 20,000 taels of silver, which is worthy of being a big official from Chang'an, and he is so generous.
Cui Xiang didn't care about the admiration of the crowd at all, but turned his head to Liang Dequan beside him and asked, "Lord Liang, I don't know if there are good drinkers in Luzhou?" Can you please verify it for me? ”
Liang Dequan smiled and said: "Why do you need to ask, there is a ready-made one!" ”
"Oh? I didn't think that Lord Liang, you are also good at drinking...... "Cui Xiang is overjoyed."
Liang Dequan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Cui, you have misunderstood!" I don't have what it takes! ”
Speaking of this, Liang Dequan pointed to Shi Jing beside him: "I'm talking about Shi Sima, when it comes to drinking, there is no one in Luzhou who is around Shi Sima." ”
Hearing Liang Dequan's words, Cen Shaobai almost didn't laugh out loud.
Two days ago, Zhang Baoer concluded that if Cui Xiang proposed to let people verify the strength of the wine, Liang Dequan would definitely recommend Shi Jingzhi. Sure enough, Zhang Baoer expected it.
"That's great, can Sima verify this wine for me?" Cui Xiang looked at Shi Jingzhi again.
Shi Jingzhi's waist is fat and his face is big, and the meat on his face is piled up like an oil ball, slipping down his neck, his neck is thick and short, covered with layers, like stacked waves, and looks like a kind "Maitreya Buddha".
The servant of the ministry asked to try the wine himself, which made Shi Jingzhi somewhat flattered, he could drink ten catties of wine at most, not to mention the amount of wine in Luzhou, even if he looked at Chang'an, he rarely met opponents, and three catties of wine was not a problem for him at all.
Shi Jingzhi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Cui, I will definitely let the shopkeeper of the wine shop obediently give you all the wine!" ”
There was a good show to watch now, Shi Jingzhi's words aroused the interest of onlookers, and everyone wanted to know what the final result was.
Cen Shaobai asked people to erect a table in front of the door of the winery, on which were placed three exquisite wine jars and six porcelain bowls.
