Chapter 189: Too much deception
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Chapter 189 Chapter 1** is too deceitful
The sun is in the sky and the sky is clear, which seems to be a good weather. But if it's not winter at this time, it's really pleasant. Huang Chuan, the young man from Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, rubbed his frozen red hands against each other, and then tightened the clothes on his body, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door of the Lu family.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from behind the door. With the opening of the gate, Huang Chuan saw the person behind the door, and hurriedly showed a smile: "Brother Xiaowu, it's me, Huang Chuan." ”
"Huang Chuan, why did you come here?" Xiao Wu was very surprised to see that it was Huang Chuan, but he opened the door and let him in.
Huang Chuan walked into the Lu family and said, "Something happened in the winery, and the shopkeeper asked me to come to the little lady to have a look, or to get an idea." ”
"Oh, come with me." As soon as Xiao Wu heard that it was about the wine shop, he immediately quickened his pace and led Huang Chuan to the main house.
In the house, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong, Chaoxia had just had breakfast and were chatting with tea. Regarding Huang Chuan's arrival, Lu Xianger and the three of them obviously did not expect it. But Lu Xiang'er saw something wrong from Huang Chuan's face. Without waiting for Huang Chuan to give a gift, Lu Xiang'er said: "Huang Chuan, don't be so vain, is there something wrong with the wine shop?" ”
"Back to the little lady, it's true that something happened in the wine shop." Huang Chuan thought of what Yuan Musheng had explained, and first took a breath, and then slowly talked about what happened.
It turned out that during the time when Lu Hong was busy with the palace test, Lu Xianger and Chaoxia also went to the winery, and something really happened in the winery. Since the official opening of the brewery, there have been many Beijing masters who have come to Piaoxiang Brewery to buy shochu craftsmanship. But this is only the majority, and there are also some wineries that have some roots in the Jingshi, just waiting from the side.
But when I saw the people from top to bottom in Jingshi, they slowly stopped drinking rice wine and drank soju, and there were fewer and fewer people buying rice wine. Even the liquor purchased in the palace was changed from rice wine to shochu and wine. These big wineries with roots are blushing at this newly rising Piaoxiang winery.
Although the plaque of Piaoxiang Wine Shop was mentioned by Song Beiqiao of the Guogong Mansion, the people who also knew it were all high-level people, and not many people knew about ordinary people and those peers. Even on the opening day, when I saw His Royal Highness the Four Princes and Princess Jingrou coming, it was not as good as those 'interests' that made people blush.
"Since yesterday, the owners of several big wineries have come to the door, saying that their wineries are going to be unable to operate, and let the shopkeeper give an explanation." Huang Chuan glanced at Lu Xiang'er quickly, and said in a low voice: "Today, not only are they here again, but they are also blocking the door of the winery, preventing outside guests from entering the winery to buy wine." The shopkeeper didn't know what to do, so he asked the little one to come to the little lady from the back door to ask for an idea. ”
"It's too much of a deception." Lu Hong slapped on the table next to him with a 'snap', his face cold. And Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's faces are also not good.
When Lu Xianger was in Qingshi County, Jiangling, she had already realized that this soju process was very 'hot', and if she was not careful, she would burn herself. This is also the reason why she gave the soju craft to Liao Wenbo before leaving Gangneung. After coming to Jingshi, when Lu Xianger wanted to reopen the winery, she didn't want to make it so big. But Liao Wenbo came to Jingshi, but Lu Xianger saw the opportunity to let soju spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The process of selling soju that Liao Wenbo came up with is similar to the 'joining' in his previous life. Lu Xiang'er wanted to use this method, that is, to let other breweries also make soju, and to make more money. But Lu Xiang'er never thought that some people didn't want to pay for it, and they wanted to get the soju process.
For this purpose, these people actually came to the door. Moreover, seeing that they mean that if they don't achieve their goal, they don't want Piaoxiang Wine Factory to open its doors for business. This is not only too much deception, but it is also extremely shameless. After listening to what Huang Chuan said, Lu Xiang'er's face did not change, but her heart was about to burst into flames.
However, when Lu Xiang'er wanted to scold angrily, there was a trace of doubt. Lu Xiang'er was very puzzled, are these people really for the sake of profit, and they are not even afraid of 'imperial power'. The colleagues in Jingshi have all seen the maintenance of the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop by His Royal Highness the Four Emperors, and they are really not afraid of offending the prince.
"Xiang'er, I'll go to the winery to have a look." When Lu Hong saw that Lu Xiang'er didn't speak, he thought that she hadn't figured out a way to solve the problem in front of her. Only then did I get up and wanted to go to the winery with Huang Chuan to see the situation first.
Chaoxia got up with a cold face and said quietly, "I'll go with you." ”
"Good. Sister Chaoxia, let's go. As he spoke, Lu Hong was about to walk out, and Chaoxia also raised his feet.
Lu Xiang'er, who came back to her senses, saw the behavior of the two, and immediately said urgently: "Brother, Sister Chaoxia, you wait." If you want to go together, you have to let Xiao Wu go to the carriage first. ”
"Oh, yes, Xiao Wu go and set up the car." Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately signaled to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu immediately turned around and went to the backyard, and Huang Chuan also followed Xiao Wu out when he saw this, waiting to go back to the wine shop with a few people.
Lu Xiang'er waited for the two of them to leave the house before she said softly: "Brother, Sister Chaoxia, don't worry, we have to understand the situation first." After a while, we first went to the vicinity of the winery to see the situation in the shop, and then entered the winery through the back door to listen to what Uncle Mu Sheng said. ”
Listening to Lu Xiang'er's arrangement, Lu Hong immediately calmed down. At this moment, Lu Hong suddenly realized that he was three years older than Lu Xiang'er, but he was not as calm as her. This made Lu Hong a little ashamed, but also clearly recognized his shortcomings.
Chaoxia never thought about that, Lu Xiang'er said that it was what it was. It can be seen that Chaoxia obviously believes in Lu Xiang'er very much. Otherwise, you won't think with your own brain. After getting along with Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia became more and more lazy.
Xiao Wu set up the carriage, and Xiao Cui came to the room to report. Lu Xiang'er and the three of them immediately put on their clothes and cloaks, got out of the main room, got into the carriage, and headed towards the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop. In the carriage, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia sat on one side, and Lu Hong sat on the other side. The windows on both sides were hung with thick curtains, and the three of them were still holding the stove, but they didn't feel how cold. But thinking of what happened in the winery, the hearts of the three of them were cold.
Just thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Xiao Wu's voice also came into the carriage: "Childe, little lady, there are many people surrounding in front, and it is difficult for the carriage to squeeze through." ”
"Oh?" Lu Hong's expression froze, and he and Lu Xiang'er opened the curtains on both sides and looked out. Although they can't really see it, Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong know that they can see the winery when they get out of this kind of alley. At this time, there were many people standing at the mouth of the alley, and it was indeed not easy for the carriage to pass.
Lu Xiang'er looked at Chaoxia and Lu Hong, lowered her head and thought for a while, before she said softly: "Why don't we walk over." Standing in the crowd, I believe that not many people recognize us. ”
"It's fine. Looking at the crowd in front, I'm afraid it has something to do with the winery. Sitting in the crowd, you'll know better. Lu Hong nodded, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage.
After Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia also got out of the carriage one after another, Lu Hong said to Xiao Wu and Huang Chuan: "You set up the carriage and go directly to the back door of the wine shop around this alley. Let's take a look here and pass in a moment. ”
"Childe, you have to be careful. The owners of the winery were accompanied by a few burly guards who seemed to have practiced martial arts. Huang Chuan seemed to guess that the people in front of him were watching the Piaoxiang Wine Shop like yesterday, and reminded Lu Hong with some worry on his face.
After hearing this, Lu Hong's eyes immediately flashed with resentment, but when he turned to Huang Chuan, he had already regained his calm. Patting Huang Chuan on the shoulder, Lu Hong nodded and said, "I know, you guys should be careful." After speaking, Lu Hong turned around and walked behind Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, and approached the crowd with the two, ready to see how these peers treated Piaoxiang Wine Workshop.
Although they were all prepared in their hearts, Lu Xiang'er and the three of them stood in the crowd and saw the scene in front of the Piaoxiang Wine Shop, and they couldn't help but change their faces. If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er holding Chaoxia's hand, Chaoxia would have rushed out of the crowd and showed off her martial arts. Lu Hongyin knew from Lu Xiang'er that he was not calm before, and he also endured his hands and feet.
At the gate of the Piaoxiang winery, three small sheds were erected to block the gate of the winery. In the three sheds, there were three groups of people, each of whom was lighting a charcoal fire to keep warm. On the tables in the three sheds, there are steaming hot pots and dishes. It was clear that the three groups were eating at the door of Piaoxiang Distillery.
Yuan Musheng stood at the door of the winery, looking back and forth at the three sheds with angry faces, but there was some helplessness in his eyes. This is already the second day, if it weren't for the fact that this group of people didn't eat it, he wouldn't have sent Huang Chuan to find Lu Xiang'er. Jingshi is no better than Jiangling, who knows if there are any people behind these people who can't be offended, Yuan Musheng has really used all the methods he can use.
"Xiang'er, what are you pulling me to do, I'm going to tear down the shed." A cold light appeared in Chaoxia's eyes, with a chill that penetrated into the bones.
Lu Xiang'er said in a low voice: "You can demolish three today, and you can demolish three tomorrow, but can you dismantle it every day." Now we have to endure no matter how many setbacks we suffer, and we must eradicate the root of the disease, leaving the root of the disease to break the foundation, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Looking at the scene opposite, Lu Xiang'er's eyes flashed, and her tone was calm, as if the other side had nothing to do with her. Chaoxia looked sideways, and suddenly saw the wisdom in Lu Xiang'er's eyes that she hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, Lu Xiang'er seemed to exude a kind of brilliance all over her body, which made people not want to look away at a glance.
When I thought of Lu Xiang'er's expression for the first time, I was harassed by the gangsters at the Piaoxiang Wine Shop in Qingshi County. At that time, Lu Xiang'er was also silent, and watched from the side for two days, before she cleaned up those gangsters and the people behind them in one fell swoop, and Piaoxiang Wine Shop had only been peaceful in Qingshi County for two years.
Seeing Lu Xiang'er's expression at this time, Chaoxia's heart slowly calmed down, and she said softly: "I'll listen to you." ”
But just behind Lu Xiang'er and the others, there were two old men standing. Although the two were also looking at Piaoxiang Wine, their eyes swept towards Lu Xiang'er from time to time. Naturally, what Lu Xiang'er said was also heard by the two. Therefore, both of them had bright eyes, as if they were approving, as if surprised, but the corners of their mouths were smiling.
