Chapter 175: Emperor Li Yunhai sells wine in the capital
Liao Yun and Zhang Xue were placed under house arrest in Languan, and Jinyiwei went to two groups of people to rescue them, but they were all discovered by Lu Yang's elite soldiers and fought with them, and finally they were outnumbered and died on the spot.
Lu Yang has now increased his vigilance, and even sent a large number of personnel to guard Zhang Xue's door, Jinyiwei has no way at all, and in the end he can only go to the Western Capital with his tail between his legs.
Getting the news from the Jinyi guards, Ye Xiong was extremely irritable, Wang Xu said, Liao Yun and Zhang Xue must be rescued, but this is more difficult than ascending to the sky, people sent a large number of soldiers to guard, what can I do? Ye Xiong sighed, he could only continue to select the elite brocade guards to go to Languan, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, if he succeeded.
Imperial capital.
On this morning, the carriage of the merchant Li Yunhai finally arrived here after almost ten days of walking.
Li Yunhai found an inn to live in, and after eating, he couldn't wait to go out with a box of Wenwang Xianjiu and came to Mingyue Restaurant.
Mingyue Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the imperial capital, and it is also the most expensive restaurant.
Gu Dehui, the owner of the restaurant, met with Li Yunhai.
Gu Dehui said: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind blew you here today?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "Brother Gu, you and I have been doing business for so many years, thanks to your care, I have become famous, no, I found a way to make a lot of money, and I immediately thought of Brother Gu, if you have money, you can make it, right?" ”
Gu Dehui was a little surprised and said, "Oh? What is the way? ”
Li Yunhai then carefully took out a box and put it on the table.
Gu Dehui said: "Hey, this box is exquisite, could it be that it contains gold and silver jewelry?" ”
Li Yunhai said mysteriously: "No." Then the box was opened, revealing a beautiful bottle inside.
Gu Dehui said: "Brother Li, this is ......"
Li Yunhai said: "Brother Gu, do you know that there was an unbelievable event that happened in the Western Capital a few days ago? ”
Gu Dehui said: "Big deal? In addition to Wang Xu, who established himself as the king, the king of Wen. What other major events are there besides changing the name of Guxi to Western Capital? No one knows about this. ”
Li Yunhai said: "You don't know, Wang Xu, King Wen, recently met the immortals in a dream. That fairy actually taught him the secret of winemaking, don't you say? ”
Gu Dehui couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, and said, "Immortals? Brother Li, you still believe this because you have lived so long? Immortals only exist in mythological stories. Where can we, ordinary people, have the opportunity to see it? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Eh, I really saw the immortals, a few days ago, Wang Xu personally invited the heavenly immortals in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Capital to taste the first bottle of wine he brewed. ”
Then, Li Yunhai told Gu Dehui in detail about the bizarre and strange things that happened that day.
Gu Dehui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a while. Only then did he sigh: "This, this is incredible!" ”
Li Yunhai said: "The more incredible thing is still to come, after Wang Xu got the secret recipe for winemaking given to him by the gods, he really brewed this wine, and the name of the wine is Wenwang Xianzhu!" ”
When Gu Dehui heard this, he said with some excitement: "Really? Could it be that kind of wine is in this bottle? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Exactly! With that, he scraped off the wax from the mouth of the bottle with his fingernails, pulled out the cork, and poured the wine into a glass.
Gu Dehui took the wine glass. Surprised: "Hey, it's so fragrant!" This wine has not been put under the nose, and the aroma of the wine is so strong, it is really rare. ”
Then. Gu Dehui slowly tasted the Wenwang Immortal Brew.
"Good! Good! Good! Gu Dehui slapped the table hard all of a sudden, and shouted very excitedly: "What a good wine!" This wine should be in the sky, how many times can I drink it in the world? ”
Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course, of course, King Wen Wang Xu said that the gods taught him how to make wine. I didn't believe it at first, no, as soon as this bottle of Wenwang Immortal Brew came out, it proved that this rumor was true, at least this kind of strong wine is unique, and it has not appeared in the world! ”
Gu Dehui said: "Yes, this bottle of Wenwang Immortal Brew is indeed a rare and extremely good wine, Brother Li, tell me, how to sell this kind of wine?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "Since it is a wine brewed according to the technology taught by the immortals, of course the price is very expensive, Brother Gu, for the sake of your and my friendship for many years, I will sell you 200 taels of silver per bottle of this Wenwang Immortal Brew." ”
"What?" Gu Dehui's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief, "Brother Li, I heard you right, right?" This kind of wine actually sells for 200 taels of silver?? ”
Li Yunhai said: "You didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't say it wrong, King Wen's immortal brew is 200 taels of silver per bottle, and the price is not two!" ”
"Haha!" Gu Dehui couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Brother Li, don't you want to make money and go crazy, right?" Just a bottle of liquor wants to sell for 200 taels of silver? Do you know that the most expensive wine on the market at present, only 100 yuan per catty, what kind of wine made by the gods of yours, it costs 200 taels of silver, that is, 100,000 yuan, it is really unreasonable!! ”
Li Yunhai was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, how can those wines be compared to King Wen's immortal brewing?" After Wen Wang Xian Brew drank it, the whole person felt fluttering, you also experienced it just now, do you say you have this feeling? ”
Gu Dehui said: "Yes, this kind of wine is indeed fluttering and unswerving, but who will buy this ridiculously expensive liquor?" There are indeed many rich people in this world, but if you want to make their money like wronged people, it will never work! ”
Immediately, the two parted unhappily.
Li Yunhai took the box containing King Wen's immortal brew and walked out of Mingyue Restaurant dejectedly.
Sure enough, the development of events confirmed his previous guess, and no one would buy the sky-high price of wine. Wine, not an antique, is refreshing for a while, and then it becomes urine, which is not worth a penny, and what fool would want to buy such an incredibly expensive liquor???
Next, Li Yunhai found four or five more high-end restaurants to promote Wenwang Xianjiu, but they were all rejected one by one.
At dusk, Li Yunhai walked out of the last restaurant sadly and disappointed, and he even forgot to take the bottle of Wenwang Immortal Brew under the six gods and no owner.
3,000 taels of silver! It's miserable, all this silver is going to be wasted now!!
When Li Yunhai thought of the 3,000 taels of silver that wholesaled Wenwang Xianjiu, he couldn't help but feel like a knife and remorseful.
I shouldn't have listened to the foolery of Wang Xu, the king of Wen, and used all my net worth and wealth to wholesale this so-called spirits brewed with the secret recipe of the gods, so that I have no money now.
Immortal? Phew! What bullshit stuff, it's all Wang Xu's trickery to deceive people!!
Li Yunhai walked on the street, dazed and at a loss, and couldn't help but scold Wang Xu and the gods in his heart. (To be continued.) )
