Chapter 305 Willing to gamble and lose
I picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and the taste was indeed very good, with a rich fruity aroma in it.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then took a sip of the wine brought by the envoy, his brows were furrowed, the taste was actually very similar, but if you taste it carefully, this glass of wine is a little sour, not like the wine that Tang Wei took out, it is really sweet, and the sweetness is left between the lips and teeth, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
"Who is good and who is bad, please ask the envoy to taste it himself, I believe that the envoy can distinguish the high and low at once."
The emperor didn't directly say which wine was good or bad, but he picked up the wine Tang Wei took again, and said while tasting it:
"You can also taste it, it's really a tiger father without a dog, I didn't expect General Tang's two daughters to always bring surprises to people!!"
The envoys didn't believe it when they heard it, after all, they had been making this kind of wine for some years, and they had inquired that the royal family of Fengyu Country didn't have wine at all, let alone the people.
So, they came this time to bring out the accordion and wine, just to show off in front of them.
I didn't expect anyone to know that the accordion could make wine without saying it?!
But what about making wine? If it had been made a long time ago, it would have been prevalent in Fengyu Country a long time ago, after all, the taste of this wine is something that no one can resist.
It seems that it has just been made, so how can the taste be comparable to their wine?
The envoy took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, the fragrance between his lips and teeth made his eyes widen, and he couldn't even believe it, this, how is this possible?!
The emperor watched the change in the envoy's expression, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, and then said slowly:
"The quality of this wine, everyone tastes it, and they have a certain number in their hearts, and they don't want to be the one who doesn't keep their promises."
After hearing this, the envoy almost bit his silver teeth, he didn't want to admit it at all, but the facts were in front of everyone's eyes, if they really became scoundrels, then it would only bring shame to their Qingluan country.
"I'm willing to gamble and lose, and I'll send someone to deliver the bet later."
Since losing this 10,000 taels of gold, the envoy has been much more honest, and until the end of the banquet, there has been no more moths.
After the banquet, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Tang Wei were left behind.
"You two have done well today, what reward do you want, tell me, I will definitely satisfy you."
Tang Wei pouted in her heart, if you want to reward us, you can just give us a reward directly, ask us what we want, even if we really want something, do we dare to open our mouths?
"The courtiers don't have anything to want, as for the bet with the envoy just now to win the block, the courtiers are willing to hand over all the money to donate to the thousands of soldiers who are in front."
The emperor didn't expect Tang Wei to say this, he was really a little surprised, and asked again with some disbelief:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, the courtiers have already discussed it with their father, and his father has agreed. It is not easy for soldiers to defend our home and country, and it is precisely because of them that I can be fortunate to stay in the capital safely. The 10,000 taels of gold were all donated to them, and it was worth it. ”
"General Tang's daughter, if you really have the demeanor of a general, I thank you for those soldiers."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was transparent from the moment he came in:
"You made those wines?"
"Back to the emperor, it was made by a people's daughter."
"I didn't expect you to have such skills."
The emperor stared at Cheng Xiaoxiao, Tang Wei swallowed her saliva unconsciously under such a gaze, but Cheng Xiaoxiao was still like an ordinary person, unaware.
"We don't have this wine here, and it's only tonight, I've only tasted it for the first time, how do you think of it?"
"Minnu's hometown is Gufeng Town, and because it is a border town, there will always be people from other countries who go there to do some small business. I also heard someone talk about wine and I came up with the idea.
I happened to make some fruit wine, and when I heard about it, I wondered if it was made with grapes, so I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be made. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, but the emperor couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
In the past, he was also like others, thinking that the son of the world looked down on Cheng Xiaoxiao, so it must be Cheng Xiaoxiao who climbed high.
After all, Cheng Xiaoxiao is a wild girl from the countryside, in addition to being able to make money, he can't think of anything that can be worth being so desperate for the world.
Unexpectedly, such a little girl, in the face of his scrutinizing gaze, was so fearless, with this courage alone, I am afraid that he will have to re-examine.
After asking a few more words, the emperor let the two of them go.
The next morning, just after breakfast, the emperor's reward also came.
Compared with those 10,000 taels of gold, although these rewards are not enough to see, they are better than nothing.
Cheng Xiaoxiao became famous again because of her performance at the palace banquet this time, and she was able to make foreign envoys slap in the face, and no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel relieved.
This time, most of the rumors praised Cheng Xiaoxiao, and there were a few who said sour things, but they were also opposed.
When the county lord of Qinghe and Cong Ruoyu heard the rumors outside, they couldn't wait to tear Cheng Xiaoxiao apart.
Let the cheap girl from the countryside show it again, although she felt very relieved when she saw the faces of those envoys as black as the bottom of the pot, but when they thought of what Cheng Xiaoxiao did, they couldn't be happy.
Whoever it is, they will be happy, but if it is Cheng Xiaoxiao, they are really not happy.
Because of the wine incident, Xiaoxiao had to be forced to open the profession of winemaking, and the emperor granted it, can she not do it?
A suitable vacant land was selected outside the suburbs of Beijing and a winery was built.
Tang Wei looked at Xiaoxiao with great admiration:
"Xiaoxiao, you're too angry, aren't you?! I can let the emperor ask for your opinion in person, I simply admire you so much. ”
Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, everyone saw the change in the emperor's attitude towards her, but they didn't know that this was not a good thing for her.
When she came to the capital, she never thought about making wine, so the wines she made, fruit wines and the like, were just for her own recreation.
These wines are just small profits, she doesn't pay attention to them, and now there is the emperor's mixture, which provides her with a venue for her to make wine, but the wine brewed can only be supplied to the royal family.
As for where the final product goes, she has no right to decide.
Xiaoxiao felt that she had become a winemaker and did not have any rights of her own.
Even if the emperor asks everyone to listen to her, but the imperial power is supreme, and she is a piece of bullshit.
