Chapter 204

To be honest, the white shopkeeper didn't have any expectations for Yang Ermiao, if he wanted it to be really a good wine, it must have been bought by someone else a long time ago, where would it be his turn? However, tasting two sips of wine was nothing to lose for him, so he simply let Yang Ermiao in.

He saw that Yang Ermiao's clothes were neat and smiling sincerely, although his eyes were shrewd, but he didn't have much calculation, so the white shopkeeper's impression of Yang Ermiao was much better.

"You have four flavors of wine? What kind of name are they? ”

"This is the four flavors of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and together they become the four gentlemen's wine. Plum blossom wine is bitter and astringent in the mouth, and has the meaning of plum blossom fragrance from bitter cold. Orchid wine always has a light fragrance of orchids, and it is somewhat sweet. The bamboo leaf wine is mellow and fragrant, and the chrysanthemum wine is fragrant and wisps, which seems to be there or not, and it is also evocative. ”

"To put it mildly, who knows if it really has this effect." The white shopkeeper didn't believe it.

Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "If the white shopkeeper doesn't believe it, won't you know if you taste it?" ”

As he spoke, he took four glasses off the table and filled them with each flavor.

"White shopkeeper taste?"

The white shopkeeper did not hesitate, and tasted them one by one according to the order in which Yang Ermiao poured the wine, and each time he tasted one, his eyes lit up, and he was very happy about it, only to feel that this suddenly came out to give wine was really his own lucky star.

"Tell me, how is this wine sold?"

Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "Each altar is five taels of silver, and if the four altars are sold together, eighteen taels of silver." ”

At first, the white shopkeeper felt that the price seemed to be too expensive, after all, there were very few wines in his building at this price. It's just that he thought about it, although the wine in his building has always been cheap, but their wine in Lanyue Building has never been cheap, and there are eighty taels of champion red in one jar, what is his five taels of silver in one jar?

The white shopkeeper decided that if he was allowed to sell, he would earn one tael of silver per altar, and if the four jars were sold together, it would be twenty-one taels.

"In that case, then give me twenty jars of each flavor!" The white shopkeeper gritted his teeth and decided to gamble first.

He wasn't sure if he could sell eighty jars of wine in one go, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell enough when he was short. After all, a large part of the reason why his restaurant can survive is because his drinks are relatively cheap. If it suddenly sells expensively, I don't know if those people will still want to come. And what if this wine is really easy to sell, but the person in front of him thinks he is too stingy and refuses to sell it to him?

Yang Ermiao was also relieved when he heard this number, after all, they had limited manpower in the capital, and now they only brewed fifty jars of each flavor. If the white shopkeeper doesn't want much, they can prepare it later. If the white shopkeeper suddenly asks for a hundred altars, then they can't afford it.

Yang Ermiao quickly signed a contract with the white shopkeeper, and also gave the four jars of wine to the white shopkeeper.

"These four jars of wine are kept by the white shopkeeper first, and the new wine is not sold all at once, and someone must taste it to know whether it is good or not. The twenty jars of wine set by the white shopkeeper I will send to the white shopkeeper at night, since the four jars of wine have been opened, the white shopkeeper will give the guests a free taste tomorrow, as long as the guests feel that the wine is good, they will naturally buy it. ”

Yang Ermiao is still very confident in the wine made by Jiang Xuehe, not to mention that the white shopkeeper's eyes have been shining when he tasted the wine.

The white shopkeeper was very satisfied with this proposal, and he would not be happy to give the wine he bought for money to someone else to taste, after all, it cost him a lot of money. But this white wine is different, and he will definitely recommend it to everyone warmly tomorrow.

Before dark, Yang Ermiao took advantage of the fact that the other shops were closing one after another to pull a cart of wine to the door of the White Crane Tower, and delivered it with him, as well as four wooden boards, each of which carried a poem on it.

"These four poems were specially written by our owner for these four kinds of wine, and our owner is known as the Guanhe Jushi, and there are signatures here." Yang Ermiao said with a smile, "Tomorrow, the white shopkeeper can put these four poems on the table first, and there is a row of wine behind this brand, and anyone who is curious can go up and taste a cup, and the first cup does not cost money." ”

When the white shopkeeper heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He also read books, and the main guests he entertained were scholars. Although the white shopkeeper is mediocre, he can still see the quality of others' calligraphy and poetry. These four poems are all rare good poems, and this handwriting!

Tut-tut, if he puts these four signs every day, in the short term, the reputation of their White Crane Tower will be even louder than Lanyue Tower!

When the white shopkeeper looked at Yang Ermiao again, his eyes had completely changed, and that look was like looking at a God of Wealth.

Yang Ermiao felt funny when she saw it: "I'm not the God of Wealth, our husband and wife are." The lady is a winemaker, and the master is a poet, which is why these things are today. However, it is inconvenient to reveal too much about our owner's affairs, and Ming'er Bai shopkeeper should not mention much. ”

"I'll save it." The white shopkeeper nodded again and again, and then happily sent Yang Ermiao away.

He had been a little skeptical of the wines, but now he had no doubts. Even if the taste of this wine is average, there must be people who will buy those four poems, not to mention that these four jars are rare and good wines?

So on the second day, the most lively restaurant in the city suddenly turned into the White Crane Tower, and many students walked in after seeing the four poems at the door, wanting to know who wrote such good words and poems.

The white shopkeeper greeted everyone happily: "This poet is known as a monk who views the lotus, and he doesn't know what he does, but he knows that he is a scholar with good literary talents." I heard that his wife was beautiful and virtuous, and she was in harmony with him, and she also made good wine. The wine at the back of the four poems here was brewed by the lady herself, and this poem was written by the monk who drank it. You can taste it, maybe you can write such a good poem after drinking this wine? ”

Everyone will be skeptical of this statement, but even if the scholars think that this is half-true, they will not question it, after all, who does not do business like this? They shouldn't deliberately ruin the fun when others are in a hurry.

However, in addition to the scholars, there were also people from other restaurants such as Lanyuelou in the crowd, and they were very dissatisfied when they saw this scene, thinking that the white shopkeeper had been poor all his life and would only suddenly learn to be cunning, so he would come up with such a plan, and he didn't know how much money he spent to buy the four poems.

"According to what the white shopkeeper said, if this Guanhe monk is really so elegant, how can he take out the wine and sell it? The literati hermit never bent over five buckets of rice, and I think this is nothing more than that. ”

Although they knew that this person was deliberately trying to make trouble, the scholars also felt that he had a point. are also scholars, who is not a little high? How can you get your family to come out and sell things?

The white shopkeeper saw that someone was making trouble, and hurriedly shouted: "Guanhe Jushi is not a wealthy person, he grew up in the countryside, and he can't make money to eat?" What's more, they don't sell wine all for their livelihood, but to let more people taste good wine! If you don't believe it, you can come up and taste it to see if this is a rare wine? The first drink doesn't cost anything! ”

The last sentence of the white shopkeeper shouted loudly, which made many people moved.

Everyone knows that many of the students who come to the White Crane Tower are from poor families. They may not take the initiative to take advantage of others, but they will not refuse to drink the wine that the white shopkeeper is willing to drink. So it didn't take long for someone to go up and try it.

The first to go up and taste it is also the son of the little rich family, this mouthful, his eyes will light up, and then he will look back at the poems written by Gu Siyan, and his eyes will be brighter.

"It can be regarded as knowing why the Guanhe monk wrote such a poem after drinking this wine, which is really commensurate. It's a pity that Xiaosheng doesn't have the literary brilliance of the lotus watcher, otherwise he would like to write a poem for this wine. After the scholar sighed, he turned his head and asked the white shopkeeper, "I heard that the other three wines are different from this taste, can I taste them all at once?" ”

The white shopkeeper had already thought of a statement about this question as early as last night: "This is not appropriate, Xiao Lao'er said before, the first glass of wine per person is free of money, until the four jars of wine are delivered." But if you want a second or third cup......"

The scholar was not annoyed when he heard this, but only asked, "How much silver does the white shopkeeper think this glass of wine needs?" ”
