555 Watt City Selling Wine (Medium)
When he was on the dock, Tang Ping listened to the town in the south the most.
People here usually go there if they have something to trade, and I think it should be a relatively prosperous town here.
By sea, it took more than two hours to three hours at the speed of Araric's sailboat to reach a pier.
Here you can see a lot of sailboats docked at the pier, unlike Araric's dock, which has only a few small fishing boats besides his sailboat.
Alaric took Tang Ping and them to the dock, handed over a few iron coins to the dock, left a few people to look at the wine on the ship, and then got off the boat with Tang Ping and a few people.
That's right, at this time, the currency they used was iron coins in addition to silver coins.
Although this town is prosperous, it is not too big, and there is a city gate from the pier to the past, and everyone here pays an iron coin to enter the city.
Tang Ping only knew at this time why Alaric left most of the people behind when he came over, in addition to looking at the wine, but also to save money.
Then there are several taverns in the city, and Tang Ping can see three at the intersection where he is standing now.
They carved a barrel on a wooden board, filled it with some color, and then hung it on the outside as a signboard.
Tang Ping followed Alaric to the largest house, and a bartender glanced at a few people, because Tang Ping's clothes didn't look like civilians, so he walked over very enthusiastically.
"A few guests, are you here for a drink? It's not me who blows, just in this Watt City, our tavern is definitely the first, what kind of wine will you order first? ”
"Is there wine?" Tang Ping asked.
The bartender saw Tang Ping open his mouth and asked about wine, his eyes lit up, the wine in the tavern is cheap and expensive, and wine is undoubtedly the expensive one.
"The guests are really knowledgeable, and our wine is first-class." Saying that, he moved closer to Tang Ping and whispered, "Our wine is all shipped from the church. ”
At this time, the winemaking technology was in the hands of the church, so it is not surprising that it was shipped from there.
"Okay, then bring me a basin." Tang Ping pointed to the small basin on his bar and said.
"Okay, a pot of wine, a silver coin."
Tang Ping took out a silver Kaiyuan Tongbao and said, "Is this kind of silver coin okay?" ”
The bartender had never seen Kaiyuan Tongbao, but he could distinguish the silver.
After confirming that it was a silver coin, he said with some embarrassment: "Silver is right, but you see that there is such a big hole in the middle of your silver coin, I am afraid that you will have to ask for two." ”
Tang Ping's Kaiyuan Tongbao was not only of high purity, but also weighed a little heavier than the silver coins they used here.
He didn't believe that the bartender couldn't recognize it, so he took the silver coin from his hand and said, "In that case, I'll go to the other side, there should be wine on the other side, where to drink it?" ”
"No, no." Seeing that the business was about to run away, the bartender hurriedly stopped Tang Ping.
"The guest comes on the first day today, even if it is a discount I give you, you wait a minute, the wine will come immediately."
The bartender went in to drink, and Alaric asked Tang Ping anxiously: "Don, ...... are you?"
I was originally here to sell alcohol, but how did it become a purchase of alcohol?
Tang Ping whispered: "Uncle Alaric doesn't need to worry, we have to find out how the quality of these wines sells compares with ours before we can set the price." ”
Although Alaric had seen some of the world, he still didn't know much about these twists and turns, so he could only nod.
He was just a little heartbroken, and Tang Ping used a silver coin to buy wine. Soon the bartender came over with a basin of wine, Tang Ping looked at it, obviously this filtration level is not too good, and it is easy to see the impurities inside.
asked Lao Cui to taste it, Lao Cui pursed his mouth, the taste of this wine is not as good as the one he brewed.
It's not that the church doesn't make wine, it's that anyone can come in, and they don't bring in the good wines, they send the worst wines.
The good quality is either given to the local nobility or left in the church.
The bartender had been paying attention to Tang Ping, and it was obvious that he was the leader, but he bought such an expensive wine, and he didn't drink it himself, but asked one of his subordinates to drink it.
"Guest, but you're not satisfied with the wine?"
Tang Ping looked at him and asked, "Have you ever drunk this wine yourself?" ”
"I ...... I can't afford to drink such expensive wine. "The bartender didn't tell the truth, those who drank sometimes drank too much, and there was always a little more or less left in the basin, and he must have drunk.
"Then you taste it first." Tang Ping motioned to Lao Cui to give him the wine.
The bartender was a little confused, but since Tang Ping was going to treat him, he was not polite.
I took a big bite with a single breath.
"Thank you, guest." Tang Ping invited him to drink, and he was naturally more enthusiastic.
Tang Ping nodded to Lao Cui, and Lao Cui directly spilled all the remaining wine in the basin.
"You!"
Alaric and the bartender were heartbroken, so at least there was still half a basin, and half a silver coin was gone?
Then Lao Cui took out a clay bottle on his body and poured it into the pot, Tang Ping said: "You taste this again, and then call your boss here." ”
The bartender has drunk all kinds of wine, and you will know what Tang Ping means when he drinks his wine.
The wine Tang Ping brought was indeed better than the one in their shop.
Looking at Tang Ping's appearance, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he hurriedly went to the back to call the boss.
also told Tang Ping about his wealthy appearance, and then the bearded boss followed him out.
Looking at Tang Ping's appearance, he was slightly stunned, and then said respectfully: "Hello, distinguished guest, I am the boss David here, what is the matter with you looking for me?" ”
"I want to sell you my wine." Tang Ping pointed straight to the point and pointed to the basin of wine he had brought on the table.
The boss felt that it was very fragrant just by smelling it, and after getting Tang Ping's permission, he tasted it again.
Then he said with a wry smile: "Distinguished guest, your wine is indeed much better than that in my shop, and many nobles are afraid that this kind of wine is drunk." ”
"I'd love to buy you, too, but I can't."
"Huh? Why? "Looking at the appearance of this boss, it is obvious that he likes his wine very much, and he said that he can't buy it instead of not wanting to buy it.
"Because our wine comes from the church, if we buy your wine, I'm afraid the church will cut off all the wine, and then my tavern can't just sell your wine, right?"
Tang Ping was stunned, he didn't expect that the church at this time would actually bundle this set.
