Chapter 65: Immortals are drunk
Gao Huaiyuan was very happy now, originally he only planned to get some alcohol to be used in perfumes, but he accidentally invented the world's first high-grade wine, and he didn't dare to say that the market for other commodities was huge, but for such a thing as wine, not only the consumption of the Southern Song Dynasty was huge, if you count the surrounding countries, the consumption of this thing is astronomical!
He used to tinker with this and that all day long, wanting to make a fortune, but he never thought of winemaking, if he applied this winemaking process to the market, high-quality wine people would definitely flock to it, and it would be difficult for them not to seek after it.
What money can you make faster than earning this! Gao Huaiyuan was about to be stupid again, he took a sip of the wine bowl, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and smiled at everyone: "This wine seems to be really good, at least you people who are good at drinking have affirmed its taste, presumably this wine can really make us money."
To tell you the truth, this wine is also made by ourselves, if you want to drink it in the future, there is no problem, just pay attention, don't drink too much, this wine is much more violent than ordinary wine, and drinking too much will hurt people!
I can now decide that in the future we will open another winery that will specialize in the production of this wine, and it will only be sold exclusively by us! When we start to put it into production in large quantities, we will be able to operate this kind of winery in various places, and we will not have to worry about not making money! However, you can keep it secret for the time being, this is related to our way of making money, you are all my intimate people, I hope you will be more rigorous! ”
These people can sit here and taste wine, so they naturally think that they are Gao Huaiyuan's henchmen, and naturally they all nodded and agreed, so that Gao Huaiyuan can rest assured.
As for the construction of the winery, Gao Huaiyuan and everyone had a discussion, after the development of Crouching Tiger Village for several years, it has temporarily reached a saturated state, and there are many workshops in the backyard, and if you want to build a large winery, it is obviously impossible to stop, so you should choose another place outside Crouching Tiger Village to establish a winery.
And winemaking not only needs a venue, but also needs a good water quality, this is what the winemaker named Lin San told him, for winemaking to have good water, Gao Huaiyuan naturally knows, otherwise, those world-famous good wines such as Moutai, a change of place, although they still use exactly the same raw materials and techniques, but always have to change the taste, which is inseparable from the local water quality, climate, soil, etc.
To be honest, Lin San's ability is not great, and the quality of the wine he can make is also very average, so it can be said that he is just a technician who is not in the stream at all, but after the distillation method created by Gao Huaiyuan, the wine he brewed has become a superb wine.
Lin San also knows this, Gao Huaiyuan accepted him, just to seal his mouth, people like him, if Gao Huaiyuan is ruthless, he can be slaughtered and pulled down with a knife, with Gao Huaiyuan's current power in Daye County, killing him is as simple as killing a chicken, and there will be no trouble afterwards, so after understanding this, this Lin San closed his mouth firmly, and followed Gao Huaiyuan with all his heart, and he was much more low-key than some people in Zhuangzi, which shows that this guy is also an understanding person, since he is an understanding person, It's easy to communicate.
After Gao Huaiyuan asked Lin San, he also knew that if he produced this kind of high-grade liquor at the moment, in fact, the original liquor as the basis was not considered a good wine, and if he wanted to improve a step, he needed to find a better winemaker to brew good liquor as a basis for distillation and make better wine.
Lin San didn't hide it from Gao Huaiyuan, and told the names of the brewing masters of several wineries he knew, and recommended a person named Sun Fu to Gao Huaiyuan, saying that this person has a very good set of winemaking, and the wine he brews has a mellow taste, pleasant fragrance, and is very popular, and if the wine he brews is processed according to Gao Huaiyuan's method, it is guaranteed to taste better.
Gao Huaiyuan then arranged for Huang Zhen to handle this matter, and soon successfully negotiated this matter, and the person named Sun Fu was also enveloped under his command.
After their site selection, finally in the south of Crouching Tiger Village in a place called Sanxi Town, purchased a piece of land, once again invested a huge amount of money, built a manor there, of course, for the sake of secrecy, this yard to the outside world, called Huangjia Distillery, Mingli is the industry under Huang Zhen's name, in fact, it is still Gao Huaiyuan's industry, now Gao Huaiyuan always feels that it is better to keep a low profile, if the industry is too large, it will cause others to covet, and he understands the truth that the rafters are rotten first.
If Liu Fugui is a pigeon idiot, this Sun Fu is a wine idiot, this person is addicted to wine-making skills, is an honest man, as long as someone can provide financial resources for him to study the brewing of wine, he is very good at talking, the winery where he was at the beginning, it was because he refused to let him tinker with the wine-making skills, he decided to do it with Huang Zhen, and Huang Zhen seduced him very simply, that is, according to Lin San's idea, he took a small pot of Gao Huaiyuan's high-grade wine, and he was calmed down at once.
"Why is this wine so violent? Can you tell Sun? That was the first thing he said after tasting the wine.
Then he said: "It's just that this wine is not brewed enough, the raw material fermentation time is short, the koji is not considered to be the top grade, the taste is bitter, except for the spicy taste of the wine, it is not the best grade, but this taste, it is really a must, Mr. hurry up and tell me how this wine is made!" ”
Seeing that Sun Fu knew so much about wine, Huang Zhen just said a word, and Sun Fu threw himself into Gao Huaiyuan's arms: "As long as Master Sun is willing to follow us to do things in the future and strictly keep secrets, this method will tell you!" If not, don't talk about it! ”
The result was that Sun Fu didn't even think about it, so he followed Huang Zhen away, such a person is the best person, he has nothing else to ask for in his life, he just wants to study technology, so Gao Huaiyuan accepted Sun Fu, and promised that after the winery was built in the future, he would study how to make wine with him, and ensure that he would provide enough funds for his research, so it was very convenient to accept Sun Fu and use it for him.
When the winery was built, the staff in it were all the descendants of Crouching Tiger Village, and ten villagers were arranged to take care of it to ensure that the secrets of Gao's liquor industry were not known to outsiders, and that the monopoly business was easy to do, at least now Gao Huaiyuan has to make a fortune from this, so his way of making money must ensure that the core secrets cannot be leaked.
And Sun Fu did not live up to Gao Huaiyuan's expectations, the liquor produced is quite good, even if it has not undergone the distillation process, it is considered to be the best grade in the wine, and after distillation, it is even more mellow and fragrant, at least in this era, there is no other wine comparable to it.
When the first jar of fine wine was brewed, it was sent to Gao Huaiyuan, and after a few good wine people tasted it, they were all praised, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan to think about giving this wine a resounding name, so that it would be a hit when it was introduced to the market in the future.
Gao Huaiyuan tasted the taste of this fine wine in his mouth, and said casually: "How about calling the gods drunk?" ”
So everyone nodded, this wine is not only mellow, but also has great stamina, dare not say ten miles of fragrance, at least the amount of wine is not good, a few cups of stomach can be overturned is no problem, even the gods can be drunk, of course, it means that it is not ordinary, so this wine has been set this name, so that for a long time, it has been the first wine in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the name of the immortal drunk is so big, almost everyone in the world knows it.
During this time, Gao Huaiyuan also received a message from Xing Zhutou, saying that the matter of County Lieutenant Wang had been implemented, and the news had been sent back from Xiangyang, confirming that County Lieutenant Wang had died in front of the army, and he had not even found his body.
Gao Huaiyuan smiled when he heard this, and said to Xing Zhutou: "Gao is not very interested in this matter, if he hits, he can't run, and if he doesn't have a hit, he won't come!" Now that I'm living a good life here, why bother to be a county lieutenant? Thank you, Brother Xing! ”
Xing Zhutou looked at Gao Huaiyuan with a look of indifference, he was really a little depressed, in this world, people like Gao Huaiyuan who are unwilling to be officials, he is really the first time to see them, those scholars are all pretentious, but who doesn't sharpen their heads and want to be officials, even if they become officials, they still change their tricks to find a way to climb up, but Gao Huaiyuan, this guy, is not willing to exercise, using his current identity as Jiupin Baoyilang, to strive to be an official in the county government, it is really strange every year, That's just a lot this year!
So in desperation, Xing Zhutou took the gift that Gao Huaiyuan gave him back to the county seat, and Gao Huaiyuan smiled, and once again let go of the matter, and also asked Xing Zhutou to send a gift to Wang County's family, which was a little bit of heart for Wang County's death.
Since the success of the immortal drunk brewing, but did not immediately put on the market for sale, Huang Zhen was sent to Ezhou by Gao Huaiyuan non-stop, and began to prepare for it, Huang Zhen did not live up to Gao Huaiyuan, spent a lot of money on the most prosperous street in Ezhou City, put down a restaurant, redecorated it, whitewashed, then hung up the signboard, named Zuixian Building.
For such a drunken fairy building in Ezhou, the reaction in the city is not much, after all, a restaurant of their size, at least there are three or five in Ezhou, and the business of each restaurant is good, and it is also their own stable source of customers, want to get involved in the wine industry in Ezhou City, like such a sudden appearance of the drunken fairy building wants to survive, everyone is not very optimistic, and even some people have inquired about the owner of the drunken fairy building, and also made an assertion, claiming that the drunken fairy building will be closed within three months, This surnamed Huang also has to roll up and roll out of Ezhou City, and there are really a lot of people waiting to see the jokes.
But just when these people were waiting to see the joke, the opening ceremony of the drunken fairy building surprised the whole city, after some preparations, in a burst of earth-shattering firecrackers, it was still open for business, and it actually had a unique ribbon-cutting ceremony, and I don't know what method Huang Zhen used, even the prefect of Ezhou and several famous Confucians in Ezhou City invited to the restaurant, and a person gave a pair of golden scissors, and asked them to cut the red silk in front of the door together, attracting countless onlookers.
Even the person holding the red silk and big red flower in front of the restaurant is a red-card woman specially invited from the market, which is too eye-catching, and it is difficult for the drunken fairy building to be famous, and I have seen many shops open, but it is the first time they have seen such an arrogant store as the drunken fairy building.
And just look at the money spent when it opened, look at the big money made by the owner, it can't help but be amazing, not to mention the cost of inviting people, arranging, giving gifts, etc., just the gold scissors in the hands of those who cut the ribbon are scared to death, it is made of red gold, and any one is worth the money of the old nose!
And this is not surprising, when after the ribbon cutting, people with heads and faces go upstairs to sit, some curious people also follow into the restaurant, everyone is just curious, want to see what this little-known restaurant is, and what surprises can be brought to everyone.
The result is even more unexpected, on the opening day of the restaurant, all the customers who entered the restaurant, all gave a small pot of wine called fairy drunk, for them to taste for free, this time everyone booed, feeling that this drunken fairy building is really anticlimactic, just made such a big scene, how do you think that the next is to make a big deal, not to mention free to let everyone have a good drink, at least to halve the wine money! But Drunken Immortal House only gave each person such a small pot of wine, which is really disappointing!
But shhhh Any small dish, it's going to be so expensive, and I won't come next time I am killed! Let's get some peanuts for Master Ben first! ......" turned out to attract a contemptuous gaze, so he quickly ordered a few more dishes to save the day.
Just when everyone was slandering and secretly scolding this restaurant for being too ruthless, someone exclaimed: "God! What kind of wine are you selling? A pot of wine costs five hundred dollars, and this still makes people live? How much wine do you have? ”
Xiao Er, who ran the hall, pointed to the small wine jug placed in front of everyone on the table and replied, "Back to the guest officer's words!" Our pot of wine is a little bigger than this jug, and a pot is just one catty! ”
Someone is going to faint under the table, if it weren't for the fear of embarrassment, they would really have to smear oil on the soles of their feet and run out of the drunken fairy building, this is simply a black shop! Two catties of wine will cost you the same money, and there are really people in this world who are extremely black!
In the midst of the commotion, someone opened the small wine jug in front of them, wanting to see what kind of good wine they were drunk in the fairy building, and they dared to call out such a high price, but then the fragrance of the wine suddenly shocked the group of drinkers who were coaxing, and those who like to drink were immediately hooked by the strong aroma of wine, and they quickly wrinkled their noses and sniffed wildly, like a hungry dog suddenly smelled the aroma of meat, and someone exclaimed: "It's so fragrant!" What kind of wine is this? ”
"Don't be impatient, this is our exclusive signature wine fairy drunk from the Drunken Immortal Building, that is, this pot of wine given to you, welcome everyone to taste!" A young man in Tsing Yi stood on the stairs and said loudly to the drinkers.
So a group of drinkers have closed their mouths, can be worth only half a pound of this kind of wine should not be ordinary, just smell this kind of wine, it is enough to make people's hearts break, these drinkers have picked up the wine bottle in front of them, pulled out the stopper, put it under their noses and sniffed violently, only to hear a cheer in the building: "Good wine...... What a good wine! ”
"Everyone, slow down, this kind of immortal drunk that we are giving to you today is not an ordinary wine, this wine is very strong, and the stamina is great, even if you want to drink, you must taste it in small sips, don't drink it in a big gulp, otherwise it will be really a tyrannical treasure! Moreover, because of the rarity of this wine, this restaurant can only supply 100 pots of fairy drunk every day, and each person can only buy up to two pots, while supplies last! I hope you will appreciate it slowly! The young man in Tsing Yi standing on the stairs then said loudly.
This time these drinkers can be understood, have poured themselves a cup of this fairy drunk, and then sniffed and sniffed, then carefully drank into the mouth, the result is naturally conceivable, a group of wine guests who are used to drinking ordinary low-alcohol wine, when this glass of wine into the mouth, suddenly one by one's faces changed greatly, and after a while, someone suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Good wine!" It's really good wine! ……”
On the opening day, the 100 pots of wine provided for sale by Zuixian Lou were snatched up by the drinkers in a short period of time, and some people sighed at the beginning when they were sorry for the money and could not grab it, and some people refused to give up because they didn't buy the wine, shouting and threatening to make trouble.
But immediately a few people dressed in official officials came down from the upper floors and shouted at the chaotic gang: "Give me silence, the prefect is drinking with a few gentlemen upstairs, how dare you make such a noise?" And to tell you the truth, this drunken immortal building was opened by a friend of the prefect, who dares to make trouble here? ”
At this time, those drunkards who wanted to bully people immediately became honest, they were friends of the prefect, how could they offend them, so they had to obediently drink their wine, eat, and leave the drunken fairy building in a gloomy manner.
Looking at the scene below through the gap in the window lattice, Zhou Yi shook his head and said to Huang Zhen, who was sitting behind him drinking tea: "I really can't figure it out, since this kind of immortal drunk is produced by us, why does the young master let us only sell a hundred pots a day?" Wouldn't it be more profitable to sell it openly? ”
Huang Zhen smiled slightly, put the tea bowl back on the table, and said to Zhou Yi: "This is where the young master is clever, ......,"
