Chapter 175 The Wine King

Heshengquan Distillery has Lin Lang's separate small courtyard, and the two plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom. Besides Chu Huan and Lin Lang, the master composer Han Yuan is also in the house, reporting the situation of the distillery to Lin Lang.

"The grain sent by Quanjusheng can last for more than three months." Han Yuan still looked very serious: "However, the wine brewed from these grains was also ordered last year, so it is impossible to determine three months. In the future, there will still be food supplies, so we can no longer easily accept any orders, otherwise there will be no goods available at that time, and we will definitely breach the contract, which will cause great losses to us and Shengquan."

Lin Lang looked solemn, nodded slightly and said, "I know, that's why I didn't sign another contract with another company." After a pause, he asked, "Someone deliberately spread the difficulties of our winery to the public, and now rumors are spreading all over the place. ... In the wine shop, do you have any ideas?"

Han Yuan pondered for a while, and finally said: "Big boss, to tell you the truth, everyone is really flustered, and there are rumors in the county that we and Shengquan are going to close the wine shop, so everyone is uneasy. There are quite a few people who are absent-minded and make frequent mistakes. Fortunately, I have talked to them a while ago, and everyone's minds have stabilized a lot, but they are still not at ease."

Lin Lang sighed softly: "This is something I can't do anything about, I can't blame everyone."

Han Yuan said sternly: "Da Dong, it's okay to suffer some setbacks in the winery. As long as we can hold on, we might be able to survive. But I heard that the Xinzhou Fang family has taken the opportunity to win people's hearts in Fucheng. Da Dong, This Xinzhou Fang family has to be on guard, I'm just worried that even if we really survive the difficulties, the wine market that the old club spent countless efforts to build will be taken by others."

Lin Langxiu frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and pondered for a while before saying: "In a few days, the Royal Wine Selection will start. There is no other way to solve the current predicament between us and Shengquan. In fact, I know in my heart that the Fang family in Xinzhou can The Yunshan Mansion is so unscrupulous, firstly because his Fang family has some strength, and secondly because Liu Juguang and the Fang family colluded with each other, intending to bring us and Shengquan down. If Liu Juguang had not colluded with the Fang family, the first day At that banquet, there will not be so many merchants from Yunshan Mansion attending the banquet." After a pause, he continued: "They deliberately suppress, and if we and Shengquan want to survive, we only have the opportunity of the Royal Wine Selection, as long as we win the Royal Wine In the name, then all the problems will be solved, otherwise...!" Speaking of this, there was a wry smile on Qiao's face.

Han Yuan immediately said: "Boss, we must want the names of those royal wines this time. The old club's lifelong wish is to make Heshengquan's fine wines become royal wines. Now we are in such a predicament again. To be honest... we have nothing but There is no other way out for winning the title of Royal Wine."

Lin Lang nodded and said, "Exactly." She then asked, "Is the wine cellar safe?"

Han Yuan nodded and said: "There will be no problem, I will arrange two guards there every day, just in case!"

Chu Huan didn't speak at all, so he couldn't help asking, "Is there still a lot of wine in the wine cellar?"

Lin Lang shook her head and smiled, "It's not that I care about the wine in it, but there is one thing in it, we must be safe!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan looked puzzled.

Lin Lang had already gotten up, and said with a smile, "Let's go over and have a look." At that moment, under Han Yuan's leadership, he led Chu Huan to the wine cellar, but someone called Fang Master Liang over, just like last time, and entered the wine cellar. Underground wine cellar.

In the wine cellar, the strong aroma of wine was still pervasive. Master Liang held a torch, looking very humble.

This time, Lin Lang led Chu Huan to an iron gate in the underground wine cellar. Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "Is what you said right here?"

He remembered that he had seen this iron door when he opened the cellar last time. At that time, the iron door had not been opened, and he did not know what was stored inside. Lin Lang led him here today, looking very cautious. It seemed that the things inside were very importance.

Lin Lang took out a key, opened the iron door carefully, turned her head and glanced at Fangzhu Liang, and said, "Uncle, you just wait outside, you can't see the fire inside!"

Master Liang nodded, and Lin Lang then led Chu Huan and Han Yuan inside.

Fangzhu Liang held a torch in front of the door, and the torch shone into the room. After Chu Huan entered, he realized that it was a very narrow small room. The four walls and the roof of the room are all covered with gold soil. There is only one table in the room, and on the table are two molds made of gold soil, which look like wine jars.

Lin Lang walked to the table and stared at the two molds. After a while, she asked Chu Huan softly, "Do you know what's inside?"

Chu Huan asked suspiciously, "Is it wine?"

Lin Lang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It's wine, but it's not ordinary wine."

"It's bamboo sake!"

"It's not ordinary bamboo sake." Lin Lang said with a smile: "The brewing process is the same as that of bamboo sake, but it is more fragrant than ordinary bamboo sake!" It is completely made of the finest gold soil, which is purer than the gold soil outside, and there are two jars of bamboo sake wrapped in it, do you know how long it has been kept here?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Lin Lang said solemnly: "After the failure of the last selection, my father sealed it up the next day. The difference between these two jugs of wine will be five years!"

Chu Huan was taken aback.

He knew that ordinary bamboo sake, under the action of gold soil, can be released from the cellar in half a year, and the wine is already mellow and sweet, but the gold soil inside is purer, and the brewing environment is better than the outer room, and it has been stored for five years. In this year, what kind of taste will such bamboo sake taste like?

"This is the wine king!" Lin Lang's eyes showed a bit of confidence: "This is also our last confidence. If there is no accident, our Su family's bamboo sake should be able to enter the final duel with the Fang family. Although the Fang family secretly It is inevitable to get through the officials, but if his drink is too bad, the officials participating in the selection will not dare to cover it up."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "If bad wine can be rated as imperial wine because of the money, then when the nobles in the palace drink inferior wine, they will be furious. The Fang family will inevitably be unlucky. Even the officials who select the imperial wine I can't escape either."

Lin Lang smiled and said: "That's right." Then he said solemnly: "So although Fang's family manages secretly, the drinks in Mingli are not weak. The best in their Miaocaotang is Qianyehong. In the past five years, I guess they have You must have prepared good wine. My father built this golden earth cellar with his own hands for this selection. The two altar wine kings were also sealed by his father. If they can finally confront the Fang family, then these two altar wine kings will definitely be able to Come in handy!"

Han Yuan said solemnly: "In the last selection, the Fang family colluded with the selection officials and took away the title of royal wine. This time I would like to see if the imperial court will send that corrupt official here again? Xishan Road is one of the best in the entire Great Qin Empire. If it doesn’t succeed this time, then God has no eyes.” Xiang Linlang asked: “Dadong, are these two altar wine kings going to bring them back today? Fucheng?"

Lin Lang shook his head and said: "The old wine just out of the cellar is the most mellow. Although there are only a few days left before the imperial wine selection, it will take some time to enter the final evaluation. When we finally have a duel with the Fang family, we will Taking out the wine king should increase the odds of winning by a few percent."

Han Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "Dadong, from today onwards, I will send more people to guard here, and will not let anyone come near."

Lin Lang smiled and said, "It's all up to the master."

Seeing that Lin Lang was full of fighting spirit, Chu Huan smiled slightly. Seeing Chu Huan looking at him, Lin Lang couldn't help feeling hot, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Seeing that the big boss is so confident, I think we and Shengquan will win the title of Yujiu this time." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Let those people in Yunshan Mansion take a look, the real wine king is still Heshengquan !"

Chu Huan and Lin Lang stayed in the county town for a while, arranged some things, and then returned to Fucheng. At this time, all the slightly larger inns in Fucheng were full, and the wine merchants and drinkers who came from all over On the main street of Yunshan Mansion, carriages pass by one after another, and a flag will be erected on the carriages of wine merchants, and their names will be marked on the flags.

For example, "Huizhou Qianli Xiangqian", or "Tongzhou Baihequanzhao", with the place name in the front, the name of the wine shop in the middle, and the surname at the end. They are erected on the carriage and swaggered through the market, just like an advertisement for themselves.

This is a grand event in the wine industry, and the participating wineries, no matter how big or small, will put on as much pomp as possible to earn some face.

Chu Huan and Lin Lang rushed back to the mansion before dusk. Just after entering the mansion, Fat Liu had already come up to meet him, looking very anxious. Seeing Chu Huan, he hurriedly said, "My lord, you are back!"

Seeing Fat Liu's anxious expression, Chu Huan couldn't help asking, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Fat Liu hurriedly said: "My lord, the Master Commander sent someone to look for you earlier, and I have something to say, because you are not here, so I left a message. If you can come back before dark, you will meet at the twenty miles outside the south gate. .”

Lin Lang heard from the side, and was a little worried about Chu Huan. Chu Huan smiled and shook his head, signaling Lin Lang not to worry, and asked, "Do you know what Master Zhuan asked me to do?"

Fat Liu looked around, and then said in a low voice: "There are people from the capital, the Governor-General will go out of the city to meet him in person, and the Commander-in-Chief will send someone to guard him, and he will also send you to guard him!"

Chu Huan nodded, and didn't say much at the moment. His armor is now in the Su residence, and he went to change it. The fish-scale armor and eagle-feathered helmet are really majestic. Yang Yang only felt that Chu Huan was the first-class man in the world.

There is no time to delay, Chu Huan led Fat Liu and Wang Han, and rode towards the south gate of the city. After ten miles out of the city, he saw a group of officials waiting. The Shili Pavilion had been built on the side of the road. Qiao Mingtang and a few An official was drinking tea inside, and Luo Shiheng, the Commander of the Guards Army, was also among them. Although the relationship between the two was bad, they were talking and laughing on this occasion, and seemed very close.

Hundreds of soldiers in armor and sabers stood guard on both sides of the road. In addition to Wei Tianqing's imperial guards, there was also Luo Shiheng's guards. The flags held by the soldiers of the two sides were not only different in shape, but also had different patterns on them.

The Weisuo army is a uniform long banner, and there are two patterns on the flag, one is a squatting tiger, and the other is a Teng leopard. The flag of the Great Qin Weisuo army only has these two patterns.

As for the Guards, the pennant is a pennant with a flag band at the corner, which is also very eye-catching when it flutters. The flag has an eagle pattern on it.

The armors of the soldiers and generals of the two armies are also different. Compared with the guards, the armors of the imperial guards are much more sophisticated. Guards like Chu Huan, the black scale armor on their bodies is also very expensive, and the protective effect is also excellent. In the Guards Army, at least the armor of a thousand households is required to be comparable to the armor of the guard generals of the Imperial Guard——
