Chapter Ninety-Seven: Losing in Vain

On the morning of the second day, on the way to the Qilin Palace, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes, talking about the sale of refined salt yesterday.

Li Si, Zhao Cheng, Feng Zai, Li Xin and others were also similar, with bitter faces, gathered together and muttered quietly.

"Special mother, the refined salt I bought for a thousand gold a few days ago turned out to be private salt!"

"I'm not the same, who would have thought that private salt would dare to sell it in Xianyang City with great fanfare!"

"What's even more unexpected is that the refined salt has just been bought on the front foot, and the refined salt purified by the kid on the back foot comes out!"

"No! What a coincidence......! ”

A few people said stupidly as they walked.

But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone seemed to think of something at the same time, with a trance-like expression.

"How can such a coincidence be possible in the world? We just bought salt at a high price on the front foot, and the salt of the kid on the back foot came out? ”

"Alas......! Looks like we're being counted again! ”

Feng Zheng and Li Xin gritted their back molars and said these words.

"No! This matter must be reported to Your Majesty, and that kid will return our money!" ”

Li Xin couldn't suppress the fire, and he was about to shout immediately.

Li Si quickly covered his mouth and glanced around.

Fortunately, everyone got together to gossip and no one noticed them.

"Sue what? People are clearly marked with prices, and there is no forced buying and selling, we are willing to be fooled, not to mention suing Your Majesty, even if it is sued to the king of heaven, it is in vain! ”

"Then our loss will be in vain?"

Li Xin was not convinced, and his two eyes widened.

"So what else can I do? Your Majesty and that kid are both ventilated, and Your Majesty has a share of this money! ”

"What the prime minister said is right, we don't take care of it, even if we sue it, it will be in vain, if you don't do it, you will have to be charged with buying illegal salt, and then you will be put in prison, the gains outweigh the losses!"

Li Si and Feng Zheng persuaded successively.

They don't want to suffer this dumb loss, but they can't help it, that kid is too yin!

Sure enough, no one in the entire early dynasty mentioned the matter of being pitted, and I don't know if it was really not reacting, or deliberately flattering, everyone was singing praises, saying that Xiao Zhengtai is for the country and the people, so that the people can eat snow-white refined salt in the future!

No one said that kid deliberately cheated money!

Because there's no evidence!

Can anyone prove that he is doing this?

Everything is just speculation by Li Si and others!

After the end of the early dynasty, Xiao Zhengtai pulled Yingzheng and ran to the dormitory.

He had already prepared the hot pot, and his mother Lian'er was already waiting for the two of them.

"Brother Zheng, Fei Yu has prepared your favorite hot pot!"

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Lian'er hurried to greet them.

"Yo! Why did you kid suddenly have a heart today? ”

Seeing the red hot pot on the table, Ying Zheng suddenly had a great appetite.

Since I tasted the hot pot, I let the little guy arrange a meal every once in a while, every time this kid is unwilling, why did he suddenly take the initiative to treat him this time?

"Erchen's wine has been brewed, and I specially invite my father to taste it!"

Xiao Zhengtai pointed to the small wine jar that had been set up on the table, showing an innocent smile.

"Oh? Brewed? ”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly opened the stopper on the wine jar, and the aroma was overflowing, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.

"Wuliangye?"

"Well, the name of this wine is Wuliangye!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded, which was kind of admitted.

Anyway, this old guy can't drink it, it's a high-grade liquor!

"Quick! Give me a full load, I want to taste it! ”

Last time, there was only one bottle of wine, and each person didn't get much, and he didn't have enough fun before he had it!

Well, there's a whole jar!

"Good ......!"

This time, Xiao Zhengtai was not stingy, and directly poured a full man, "Father, this wine is the same as last time, it is very strong, you be careful!" ”

"Mother, give you this beauty drunk!"

Then he poured some wine for Lian'er.

"Huh? Is this wine sweet? ”

Lian'er took a sip and said in surprise.

She never thought that there would be wine that tasted like this!

"That's right, this wine is specially brewed for women, and it tastes sweet, but don't drink too much, this wine has a lot of stamina!"

Xiao Zhengtai opened his mouth to remind.

"Good!"

Lian'er smiled and nodded.

"Father, how's it going?"

Seeing that this old man had not spoken, Xiao Zhengtai opened his mouth to ask.

However, Ying Zheng was still silent, and his brows furrowed even deeper!

"What? Doesn't taste right? ”

Xiao Zhengtai is a little weak-hearted.

Could it be that this old guy has such a bad taste that he actually drank it?

It shouldn't be!

The system gives Wuliangye-level wine-making technology, although the taste is a little worse than Wuliangye, but the color, degree, and aroma of the wine are almost the same, and ordinary people can't taste it at all!

What's more, in this era when they are used to drinking low-alcohol alcohol, occasionally replace him with high-alcohol wine, they should only feel the rich aroma of wine and spirits cut their throats, and they can't drink the subtle differences!

"What the hell can't you kid do?"

Ying Zheng stared at him for a long time before he spoke leisurely.

Gather together!

I thought something was wrong with this old product!

It turned out to be admiring the master's skills!

There's no way, who let the master have a system!

Of course, this must not be said, so Xiao Zhengtai squinted his eyes and made an excuse, "Father, in fact, there is nothing difficult in making wine, but everyone is conformist and dare not innovate, so no one has been making high-grade wine, so Erchen has always suggested improving the status of craftsmen!" ”

The wines of this era are all fermented wines, and it is normal for them to have impurities in them.

Later generations used distilled liquor, but in a different way, the degree of the liquor was increased, and even the impurities were gone!

"Well, you're right...... kid!"

"How much do you make of this wine? It won't be this one, right? ”

Ying Zheng took a sip of the wine jue and began to stir up the hot pot beautifully.

"How is that possible? Erchen has mastered the method of making wine, and has converted an empty room in the annex into a wine shop, and his father can drink it whenever he wants in the future, but it is ......! ”

Xiao Zhengtai said as he spoke, pinched his chin and smiled evilly, "Erchen needs to hire long-term workers to make wine, and the current food price is not low, and the wine production rate is not high, this price must not be too cheap!" ”

"What? You kid still want money? ”

After Ying Zheng heard this, he almost squirted out a sip of wine.

"Why not? Erchen buys grain and wine, but all he spends is the money that Erchen earns! ”

Want to drink without paying?

There are no doors!

If he can't use it to make money, wouldn't he live up to the reward given to him by the big brother of the system?

"Feiyu, don't mess around, if you are short of money, my mother will give you the monthly salary!"

Lian'er sat aside, watching the father and son arguing, and she couldn't bear it.

"Mother, it's not enough to make wine with a little bit of food, how can you ...... that little moon?"

Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand and continued to look at Ying Zheng, "Father, the output of this wine is very low, and it may produce more than 100 catties every month, if my father doesn't want to buy it, my son has to sell it on the market, and I can't even lose food and long-term wages!" ”
