Chapter 51: Piaoxiang Wine Workshop
Ganoderma lucidum is a fungal plant, and during the inoculation process, it is necessary to disinfect the hands with 75% alcohol, so as not to affect the development of mycelium due to the germs on the hands.
However, it is difficult to say whether this place can find the right concentration of alcohol, so Tong Chuxue decided to go to the tavern in the town to find out first.
In fact, there is only one winery in the town, called Piaoxiang Wine, the name is very arbitrary, and there are not many types of wine sold in it.
However, because it is an exclusive business, the income can also support daily expenses.
The owner of the tavern is an elderly grandfather, he has been running this tavern all his life, and when he saw Tong Chuxue coming in, he greeted him warmly, "Little girl, come to buy wine?" ”
Tong Chuxue smiled, "Grandpa, I want to ask, which one of your degrees is the highest?" ”
The old man laughed, "You little girl, your tone is not small, you dare to ask me for the highest degree as soon as you come up, and you are not afraid of getting drunk." ”
As he spoke, the old man took out a small jar of wine from the house, "Little girl, I'll pour it out for you to taste, and then you decide whether to buy it or not." ”
The old man is also generous, took out a coarse porcelain bowl, and came out with a bowl of wine, Tong Chuxue picked up the bowl and put it under his nose and smelled it, the wine here has a long fragrance and good quality. She tasted it again, it was indeed a high degree of wine, about fifty degrees, but it was still a little worse than the standard of seventy-five degrees, but it didn't matter, she could go back and continue distilling, although it couldn't be completely equivalent to medical alcohol, but it could make do.
"Grandpa, how do you sell this wine? I want an altar. "Tong Chu Snow Road.
The old man stroked his beard, "Girl, if you sincerely want to buy it, I can remind you first, this wine is not cheap." ”
'I'll buy as much as I want. "Tong Chuxue now has dozens of taels of money in his hand, and it is more than enough to buy jar wine.
I saw the old man stretch out his right hand and compare it to five, "Five hundred wen." ”
Fortunately, it's just five hundred Wen, Tong Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that the old man was going to sell five taels of silver for a jar.
She paid the money happily, and the old man was also very happy, so he went to the back and brought her a jar of new wine, and asked casually, "Girl, there is something great at home." ”
Generally, I am willing to buy such a good wine to go back, but I am willing to do it when I encounter a big happy event, Tong Chuxue blinked, "Sort of." ”
She was about to start planting Ganoderma lucidum when she went back, and she thought that the money was about to be credited to her account, so how could it not be a great joy.
After buying what she needed, Tong Chuxue followed Tong Shan's ox cart to prepare to go back to the village, and along the way, everyone saw Tong Chuxue holding a jar of wine, very curious, and asked her how much she bought, Tong Chuxue said that it was 500 Wen, and everyone was surprised to close their mouths.
This little girl is really developed, and she will buy the wine of 500 Wen.
However, some people can't look at it, "You shouldn't have bought this wine at Piaoxiang Wine Shop?" ”
Tong Chuxue felt strange, "Isn't there just a winery in this town. ”
"Who said that, Piaoxiang Wine Shop just hung a wine shop brand, and the family work is bought in the restaurant, who goes to the wine shop."
"Yes, girl, but you don't come out often, probably don't know, Piaoxiang Wine Shop and their wine is very fake."
How else can wine be fake, Tong Chuxue opened the lid of the wine jar and was stunned.
The wine she had just selected in the winery was distinctly fragrant, but the jar of wine in her arms needed to be smelled hard to get a hint of wine from the bottle. Tong Chuxue dipped her index finger in a little wine and tasted it, the wine tasted faint, like white water.
Scammed!
Tong Chuxue suddenly remembered that when the old man gave her wine, he went to the back to get a new jar, not the one he opened.
It was also her carelessness, thinking that the other party was a kind-faced old man, so she didn't think much about it, and paid the money directly and left, which made people take advantage of the loophole.
Everyone saw that Tong Chuxue's face changed, and they also estimated that she was cheated.
"Snow girl, forget it, you should spend money to buy a lesson."
"How can you forget it!" Silently suffering losses is not Tong Chuxue's character.
"You don't know yet, the Piaoxiang Wine Shop is the old man of the county master, otherwise how dare he blatantly deceive people." “
"But if he does this business, everyone else will know about it, so won't no one go to him to buy wine." Tong Chuxue was puzzled.
"Hey, the officials in the county government take care of his business all year round, and he won't pit those officials, just pit us ordinary people."
"Snow girl, not every household in ten miles and eight towns knows about the bad things in Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, there will always be a few wronged people like you."
For a small place like Qingshan Village, the master of the county lord is equivalent to a relative of the emperor, so if there is anything to do with him, everyone does not dare to speak easily.
As for being pitted, they have nowhere to redress their grievances, but to knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
But how could Tong Chuxue be willing, she was deceived by such a clumsy method. Even if it's the master's father-in-law, it's not right to bully others.
Tong Chuxue held the jar of wine and returned to her home in the sympathetic eyes of everyone.
When Xu Jinniang saw Tong Chu coming back, she greeted her with a smile, "Chu Xue, are you back?" ”
His eyes fell on the wine in Tong Chuxue's arms, and he said strangely, "Do you have anything to do in our family, why did you think of buying wine?" ”
Tong Chuxue didn't mention that she was pitted, but silently put the wine jar in the house, "Mother, you can help me do something tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, Xu Jinniang followed Tong Shan's ox cart to the town, found the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop, ordered 20 jars of 500 good wine on the spot, and said that someone would come to pick it up in the afternoon.
The old man was naturally very happy to get a large order suddenly, and promised again and again that he would prepare the wine he needed in advance.
In the afternoon, Tong Chuxue appeared with a rented carriage.
When the old man saw Tong Chuxue coming in, his face was slightly strange, but Tong Chuxue acted like no one, "Grandpa, I don't know if the wine I want is ready." ”
The old man didn't know why, "What wine?" ”
"Alas, didn't my mother come over in the morning, I obviously told her to come and order twenty jars of wine." Tong Chuxue looked puzzled, "Could it be that she forgot." ”
"It turns out that the one in the morning is your mother, the wine is ready early, just behind, I'll move it for you." The old man suddenly realized.
"Luckily, I'm worried about delaying business." Tong Chuxue helped the old man move the wine jar by jar into the carriage, and only paid a deposit of one or two silver in the morning, and she had to stay to pay the rest of the money.
Tong Chuxue and her master drove the carriage away first, and smiled slyly at the old man, "Grandpa, the wine I tasted at you yesterday is really delicious, so I came here again today." ”
"That's it!" The old man was quite proud, "It's not that I'm boasting, there is no one in the whole town who makes better wine than mine." ”
Tong Chuxue's eyes flashed, and she echoed, "Grandpa is right, so I don't plan to send some to the nobles in Beijing, I heard that the master of the county government is your son-in-law, and I specially explained, when they send the wine over, they must mention your son-in-law." ”
