Banshu Castle, the residence of the Yang family.

Zhao Cheng wore traditional people's clothes and held a bottle of wine in a jar, and walked towards this glorious mansion.

Tonight, Yang Tianlin held a grand wine tasting party in the mansion, on the one hand, he wanted to make Banzhou's wine culture stronger, and on the other hand, he also wanted to show Banzhou's fine wine to Fu Youde and other court ministers.

Of course, there is another important reason, he wants to further open up the market for Moutai.

This Moutai has just changed its name a few years ago, and its reputation is not high, and it hopes to take this opportunity to expand its influence.

is influential, are you afraid that Moutai will not sell?

When the time comes, expand production capacity, or integrate dozens of breweries in Banzhou, and create a series of Banzhou Moutai culture, you can enjoy as much wealth as you want, and enjoy what kind of prosperity you want!

In terms of economy and culture, in the huge Qianzhou, Banzhou Yang is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first.

As for how to do publicity, how to sell wine like this, how to communicate with the ministers of the court......

Yang is also a professional in these things.

Zhao Cheng followed the flow of people, carefully cared for the wine jar, and when he walked to the door to "check the ticket", he handed over an invitation to the wine tasting.

This is the invitation post that Hua 13 obtained, which is legal and compliant, and it is not easy to find out who the invitation post is given to afterwards.

Of course, it is even more impossible to find Hua Shisan, and it is impossible to find Zhao Cheng.

After all, for this wine tasting, Yang made a lot of preparations, sent a lot of invitation posts, and almost all the famous people in the vicinity of Banzhou sent them.

Even some famous restaurants on the Yangtze River next door were invited to come.

There are a lot of people, and it is unrealistic to investigate.

Zhao Cheng followed the maid's guidance and walked towards the scene of the wine tasting.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Yang Mansion is a small city, with a very large area, many internal buildings, and some streets scattered around, just like a town.

In fact, after hundreds of years of development, the Yang Mansion is also constantly expanding, and it is not only inhabited by the Yang clan who have been bred for hundreds of years, but also a large number of talents and henchmen recruited by the family......

As well as cultivating some diehards!

After various reasons, the Yang Mansion became what it is now.

Like a city within a city, the country is China!

In fact, Shuixi's old house is also very large, but the location is not very good, relatively close to the side of Wusana, and later surrendered to the Yuan, and then surrendered to the Ming, both dynasties set up governance offices in Guizhou City, and some of Shuixi's forces moved to Guizhou City.

On the side of the old house, the area is not much less than that of the Yang family.

Even, more, more brilliant!

The old mansion used to be a royal palace!

The Luodian Kingdom is real, and the leader of Shuixi is actually the main line of the Luodian Kingdom.

But this country has also become a part of history.

Now there is only a stream of water, and there is no Luodian!

……

The wine tasting has begun, there are a lot of people, and it is quite lively.

In Banshu City, representatives of all major sake breweries participated, bringing a lot of famous and good wines.

The pot-bellied wealthy businessmen are communicating, communicating with each other to promote their feelings, and behind them are more or less followed by some white-skinned and long-legged beauties, who are not gorgeous, but they are very gorgeous, and there are trays in their hands, and on them are the fine wines prepared by each family.

Of course, there are also many self-employed people, or petty bourgeoisie, who make up the main participants of this wine tasting.

People from all walks of life got together, and it formed today's lively scene.

There are also some people like Zhao Cheng who are alone, after all, there are also many privately brewed wines that have been brought to the meeting.

Winemaking, which was a big deal in ancient times.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can't make wine, let alone ordinary people.

Private brewers, who break the law, will be killed!

In ancient times, liquor also required a license, and mining, salt making, and iron smelting all required government approval.

However, the management is different in different periods, and the punishment is also different.

Now that Hongwu has been established for 13 years, many places have been loosely managed and have not strictly implemented the relevant regulations.

In other words, regarding winemaking, iron smelting, etc., it is impossible for the current Ming Dynasty to manage and control the salt and iron of the whole country at once.

The stall is too big to be built overnight.

We can only strengthen the management little by little!

Moreover, there is another very important reason.

This is Qianzhou, which has been a place of exile since ancient times for the Central Plains Empire.

The Central Plains Empire rarely took care of the affairs of the penal colonies, and basically delegated power to the local powerful forces.

Banshu is famous for its sake, so it is relatively relaxed when it comes to sake brewing.

Even if it's a private brewer, it's usually fine.

This is also one of the main reasons why Zhao Cheng participated in this wine tasting.

After all, if there is nothing wrong with private brewing, then he can mix in openly.

Zhao Cheng walked around the mansion for a long time and had a general understanding of this wine tasting.

What about the wine tasting, in fact, it is not so lofty, it is mainly divided into two parts.

One part is a grand event composed of members of the upper class, and the other part is composed of people like Zhao Cheng, who can be regarded as coming to make soy sauce and make up the number of people to make the event look lively.

Of course, it's not just a matter of making up the number of people, Yang has indeed prepared a lot of sommeliers who are ready to taste the wines of these self-employed and petty bourgeoisie.

If the quality is good, it may be able to be introduced to Director Yang.

In the future, it is possible to talk about cooperation and so on.

If the quality of the wine is indeed good, it can still be tasted by the big people at the meeting, and if they think it is good, it will definitely be in the limelight at the wine tasting.

It's really come to this point, and for ordinary winemakers, it's a step to the sky!

This is not the first time that Yang has held this form of wine tasting.

It is held almost once a year to provide an opportunity for wineries to improve their recipes and processes, as well as to select some valuable wines for Young.

This is the outer layer of the tasting, and as for the inner layer, it is the real body of the tasting.

That's a veritable wine tasting.

Of course, it's a wine tasting by Fu Youde and others!

Yang prepared more than ten fine wines, and also found a lot of good wines from the guys by the Yangtze River next door, and together formed the wine tasting club.

Let the dignitaries and dignitaries at the meeting taste the delicacy of this world.

The main purpose is twofold.

One is to curry favor with Fu Youde, and the other is to promote Yang's Moutai.

After all, the Moutai liquor they carefully remodeled is the real finale.

Zhao Cheng roughly understood the process, and didn't think about breaking the rules, lined up with the crowd, and walked towards the wine tasters.

He is a rule-abiding person, and he is normally reluctant to break the rules.

After all, breaking the rules is often easier to bleed than establishing them!

Sometimes, though, it's only by breaking the rules that you can establish new ones on the ruins.

The process is simple.

The sommelier tastes the wine, and if he encounters a good wine, it will be passed on to the next level, and finally it will be passed to the hands of the Yang supervisor.

If there is wine that can be passed to Director Yang, and it is indeed a good wine after his review, it means that the wine can be presented in front of the big people at the wine tasting.

The line was long, but soon it was Zhao Cheng's turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a small home-brewed sake called the national liquor, and I invite you to appreciate it."

Although Zhao Cheng is not an acting professional, everyone is a professional in acting.

After all, life is like a play, and drama is like life!

Zhao Cheng was very childish, and only poured wine for the three wine tasters, and it was only a little bit, not even half a glass.

Tasters were also human beings in the past, when did they suffer such humiliation?

Zhao Cheng understood very well what his actions meant, and immediately laughed before they got angry, "Wine tasters, it's not that they are small and small, but they brew very little wine, and this jar is not full, about a quarter." ”

Zhao Cheng also shook the wine jar, and clearly heard the swaying sound of the wine in the wine jar.

The tasters' faces were still not good-looking, but one of the tasters who was closer to Zhao Cheng looked like he was enjoying it.

When Zhao Cheng poured the wine, the aroma of the wine came to his nose, and he naturally smelled it.

The first time I decided that this wine was not simple!

I took the small glass of wine in front of my hands and put it in front of my nose and smelled it, this strong smell is really ecstatic.

The taster's reaction caught the attention of the others, and a taster who was separated by the two of them quickly brought the wine glass from afar, and was immediately attracted by the rich aroma of the wine, and was intoxicated.

"Divine Brew, this is definitely the best Divine Brew!"

The first taster was very emotional, and before he tasted it, he beckoned the little guy around him and asked him to go to the superior leader, or even the superior of the superior.

At this wine tasting, I'm afraid that there will be a fetish!

Zhao Cheng quietly watched everyone's performance, but it was not surprising.

Sample, the national wine hundreds of years later, if you don't get drunk, it's still the national wine!

This thing, even if it was the Song Taishi Gong, he begged with a handful of tears and snot, and Zhao Cheng gave him the half bottle.

Ordinary people, how can they have the opportunity to taste such fine wines?!

The sensation caused here quickly attracted the attention of many people, and some wine merchants came over, wanting to mix a familiar face, or be close to Zhao Chengtao.

There are even people who want to cut off Hu in advance and buy the wine in Zhao Cheng's hand.

Zhao Cheng didn't take all this seriously.

Want to buy it?

Is this something you can buy if you have the money?

Besides, do you really think you're rich?!

Soon, an elderly man with a slightly hunched figure walked over.

He is one of the stewards of the Yang family's outer courtyard, and he can barely be regarded as a leading figure.

At least, in the Yang family, even if he is a descendant of the son, he is not willing to offend him directly.

Although the younger brother is in the inner court, the outer court has no power to manage it, and it can't manage it.

But who is called this housekeeper in the outer courtyard, who happens to be in charge of the Yang family's foreign wine merchant business, and is in charge of almost one-third of the Yang family's finances.

He happens to be the most powerful person in the outer court!

Even Yang Tianlin, the head of the Yang family, had to shout uncle when he saw him.

The rest of the people naturally didn't dare to make mistakes.

"Director Yang, you're here, this is it, this wine is extremely extraordinary......"

When the taster saw the comer, he quickly stood up to greet him, looked at Zhao Cheng, and motioned for him to pour a glass of wine.

But it's a pity that Zhao Cheng was like a fool and didn't understand what he meant.

Zhao Cheng naturally understood.

He poured three small glasses of wine, and none of them were drunk, so how could he pour them again?

Although respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, it is also a tradition to save resources and eliminate waste!

What happened to the old man?

Why not let him carry forward the traditional virtue of saving resources?!

Hmph, you unscrupulous descendants, you will disgrace your ancestors.

Zhao Cheng was also speechless for these unsuccessful guys, but he was helpless, he could only hate iron and steel, and be ashamed of them!

Director Yang walked over tremblingly, holding a chic crutch in his hand, leaned lightly on the table, glanced at Zhao Cheng with a careless look, picked up the wine glass handed over by another taster, and acted like a previous person, first put it on his nose and savored it, as if he had come to his spirit in an instant, as if he was ten years younger.

"This wine? ……”

Director Yang was shocked, he is more than 70 years old, most of his life has been dealing with wine, he has tasted almost all the wine in this world, and there are a lot of foreign wines, but he has never tasted such a fine wine!

Compared with this wine, all the previous wine has become the dross of the stinking gutter.

Including its own Moutai!

The old gentleman couldn't believe it, and the people around him nodded one after another, which made him realize that he should not be in a dream.

He took the glass in both hands, carefully and respectfully, and put it into his mouth, bit by bit.

……

The old gentleman was very excited, and in an instant, it was like a second spring, and the vitality was infinite.

Many people watched, saw this thrilling scene, and sighed, this wine is going to heaven!

This wine tasting party, I'm afraid it's really going to be a famous wine!

Who is Director Yang?

This is something that almost a six-year-old child knows in Banshu.

In Banshu, you can not know the government, but you can't not know the Yang family, let alone the major liquor workshops in Banzhou under the control of the Yang family.

Among them, one-third of the wineries are controlled by this Director Yang.

His status in Banshu is naturally extremely high.

"Go, go and call Yang Wushuang over." Director Yang has been in a state of excitement, and immediately waved his arm and asked his subordinates to call Yang Wushuang.

Yang Wushuang is now the head of the inner courtyard, and he is also the first person beside Yang Tianlin, the head of the Yang family, like a right-hand man.

In the entire Yang family, there are very few people who dare to call Yang Wushuang's name.

This Director Yang is one of them!

Before Yang Wushuang came, Director Yang waved his hand again, and a group of subordinates quickly reacted, and hurriedly dispersed the surrounding crowd and surrounded Zhao Cheng.

Of course, the purpose was not to besiege Zhao Cheng, but to cut off his contact with other people and cut off the possibility of sabotage by the rest.

In addition, he also wants to monopolize this peerless wine!

Zhao Cheng didn't care, it was completely inappropriate.

The reaction of these people was also expected by him.

Everything is under control.

Soon, a middle-aged strong man in his forties rushed over.

He is Yang Wushuang, who accompanied the head of the family Yang Tianlin to introduce the wine to the distinguished guests one moment ago, and was called here the next moment.

Originally, he was very angry about being disturbed.

But when he knew who called him, his anger was extinguished.

"Uncle Yang~"

In the face of this Director Yang, Yang Wushuang also had to remain respectful.

After all, he is the one who has made great contributions to the Yang family in Banzhou, and the head of the family, Yang Tianlin, is respectful, not to mention that he is just an arm of Yang Tianlin!

"Well, taste the wine."

Director Yang didn't say anything superfluous, ran straight to the point, and handed over another small glass of wine as soon as possible.

Yang Wushuang took the wine glass, like most people taste wine, first asked, then dipped his fingers, then licked it with his tongue, and finally tasted it in small sips.

"This wine ......"

There are no exceptions and no surprises.

Yang Wushuang was also shocked by this wine.

Since its inception, the Yang family has mastered the fine sake of Banshu, and now it has been developed for hundreds of years and is almost at the forefront of this type of brewing.

But he had never tasted such a wine in decades!

This wine should only be in the sky, and it is rare to smell it a few times in the world!

"Who brought this kind of divine brew?"

Yang Wushuang's voice became trembling, he didn't expect that such a divine brew would appear in this wine tasting meeting, it was really an unexpected joy!

Under the instructions of everyone, he immediately noticed Zhao Cheng in the crowd.

Also notice the jar of wine he was holding in his arms!

Especially when he thought of such a divine brew, it was presented in such an inferior wine jar, and his blazing heart felt a tingling feeling.

Especially Zhao Cheng's careless demeanor, which made him even more unbearable!
