Chapter 33
Fanlou has never been so prosperous. The gate of Fanlou has not been opened yet, and the outside is already crowded with people. All 71 main stores in Kaifeng City gathered in Fanlou.

"I've kept you waiting for so long!" Fan Sanming stepped forward and cupped his fists.

"It's okay, it's okay! Shopkeeper Fan! Congratulations!" the shopkeeper of Sun Yangzheng shop said loudly.

They all said that their peers were enemies, but the shopkeepers of other main stores congratulated Fan Lou one after another. They were very well informed, and they all learned that Fan Sanming had given up the winery business and would brew alcohol exclusively for doctors in the future.

"Congratulations, congratulations, today is not a happy event for all of you. Fan Sanming's secret recipe for baijiu is going to be revealed to the world. This is a great event for us and the wine shop!" Fan Sanming said the scene.

All the wine shop owners looked at each other, showing a strong sense of competition. Everyone knew that if they could get the secret recipe of baijiu, whoever could soar into the sky and become the number one restaurant in Kaifeng City.

"Everyone, don't stay outside for a long time, please enter Fanlou to rest." Fan Sanming stretched out his hand to invite.

"Don't dare, I'd better wait for Miracle Physician Fan to come!" Shopkeeper Sun said respectfully, and other shopkeepers of the wine shop also said yes.

Soon, a carriage appeared in front of Fan Tower, and Fan Zheng jumped down.

"I've seen Miracle Doctor Fan!"

"Miraculous Physician Fan is young and promising. Not only is his poetry extraordinary, but he also has a benevolent heart as a doctor!"

All the shopkeepers came forward to compliment her.

Fan Zheng nodded slightly, and walked into Fan Lou first, followed by everyone.

"Let's get started!" Fan Zheng sat in the main seat and clapped his hands.

"The wine tasting conference has begun!" Fan Sanming shouted excitedly upon hearing this.

Soon, the staff of Fanlou placed a jug and a wine glass in front of each wine shop owner, and the whole Fanlou was filled with the aroma of wine.

71 The owner of the wine shop's eyes immediately became fiery, and he understood that this wine was the wine of poetic immortals that was popular in Kaifeng - baijiu.

"Everyone please!" Fan Sanming stretched out his hand to invite.

All the wine shop owners couldn't wait to pick up the jug, and the wine flowed through a beautiful arc and poured into the wine glass.

"The hops are dense and lingering."

"The liquor is clear without any impurities."

"The wine is full-bodied and full-bodied."

Everyone is the owner of the wine shop, and they don't know how much wine they have seen, but they can tell that baijiu is better than the wine they brew.

Immediately, he couldn't wait to raise his glass and drink it down, his eyes lit up immediately.

"The entrance is soft, the throat is straight!"

"The empty cup keeps the fragrance, and the lingering fragrance lingers around the nose."

As soon as the baijiu was in the mouth, everyone knew that the wine was not a lie. No matter in which aspect it was enough to crush all the good wines on the market, everyone suddenly became addicted to alcohol. Get drunk.

"Good wine is indeed the wine of poets, but although this wine is good, it is not good at all, it is too strong!" Shopkeeper Sun said first.

"Too fierce is also a shortcoming?" Fan Sanming retorted.

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said, "Alcohol is naturally better than spirits. However, the people of Song Dynasty have been drinking low-alcohol brewed wine for a long time. If they suddenly switch to high-alcohol wine, I'm afraid they won't be used to it at all!"

Fan Sanming was silent for a moment, he naturally knew that what shopkeeper Sun said was true.

Fan Zhengwen said: "It is true, but compared with the advantages of liquor, it is nothing serious at all. If anyone is dissatisfied with this liquor, they can withdraw from the auction."

Shopkeeper Sun hesitated when he heard the words. He originally wanted to suppress the price, but he didn't expect Fan Zheng to make an unreasonable move and directly flip the table.

The other wine shop owners were also silent, and no one was willing to abstain.

"This wine is indeed much better than ordinary wine. The Du Family Winery is willing to bid [-] Guan for the secret recipe!"

"I am willing to pay [-] Guan!"

........................

All the wine shop owners couldn't bear it anymore and raised their prices one after another.

"My Sun Yang Zhengdian is willing to bid five thousand guan!" Shopkeeper Sun said with a blockbuster.

"Five thousand guan!" The wine shop owners gasped suddenly, their wine shop probably wasn't worth five thousand guan, and they couldn't afford such a large amount of money.

Seeing that all the wine shop owners fell silent, Fan Sanming frowned and said: "Everyone should know that baijiu is worth more than ten thousand guan, and five thousand guan is too little!"

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said, "Although baijiu is good, it is already the limit of my Sun Yangzheng store. Ask any restaurant in Kaifeng City that can produce [-] guan."

All the wine shop owners bowed their heads one after another. Some of them really had no money, some were afraid of the power of Sun Yang Zhengdian, and some of them reached a tacit agreement with Sun Yang Zheng Store.

Fan Sanming couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect to fall into such an impasse.

"Since the price can't be negotiated, Fan has a compromise. Fan can share the secret recipe of baijiu with every winery here, and each household only needs to pay a hundred guan!" Fan Zheng suddenly said loudly.

"One hundred strings!"

The owners of the workshops were stunned. They didn't expect that they could turn around and obtain the secret recipe of baijiu.

Shopkeeper Sun's face changed into a sneer and said, "If all 71 of our main stores can brew baijiu, how is it different from our current situation?"

The owners of the workshops frowned. They now make money by making wine. If every family had the secret recipe of baijiu, everyone would still earn the same amount of money, and they would have to give Fan Zheng an extra [-] guan.

"That's right, the secret recipe can be of the greatest use only in the hands of a few people. If everyone has it, it is not called a secret recipe, and it has no value." A wine shop owner said solemnly.

Fan Sanming also frowned, and was about to step forward to remedy Fan Zheng, but he heard Fan Zhenglang say: "You are right, the secret recipe is only valuable in the hands of a few people, and there is no one else in the world except you 71 families." The brewery knows the secret recipe."

"boom!"

The heads of all the wine shop owners were shocked, and they looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.

"That's impossible! The imperial court has decided on the wine system, so we can't sell wine privately." Shopkeeper Sun shook his head.

Fan Zheng explained: "Baijiu is distilled from other brewed wines. The distiller's koji used is the court's distiller's koji, and the wine tax has been paid in full. It does not violate the liquor system. Otherwise, Fan would dare to distill baijiu at home."

All the wine shop owners nodded slightly, and refined the brewed wine again. This method does not violate the wine system.

"Since you both pay the same amount, I will divide the territory of the Great Song Dynasty into 71 shares on average for you and others to draw fairly. Five of them will also include grand prizes from Dali, Tubo, Xixia, Goryeo, and Liao."

Every time Fan Zheng mentioned a neighboring country, the breathing of the wine shops became a little bit heavier. The liquor was very strong. Most of these neighboring countries were born in bitter cold places, and they needed this wine the most, especially the Liao Kingdom, which is one of the largest countries in the world. , if you can enjoy the Liao Kingdom alone, it is enough to make a wine shop rich overnight.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the throbbing wine shop owners, and suddenly became furious. Fan Zheng's action made Sun Yangzheng's plan to get the secret recipe of baijiu at a low price frustrated.

Fan Sanming immediately fell in love with Fan Zheng's admiration. Fan Zheng's side not only greatly increased his own income, but also reduced the risk of the wine shop owners. A big country like the Liao Kingdom has a hundred times the benefits, no one will be tempted, even if there are people behind Sun Yangzheng's store, they may not be able to suppress it.

"However, this party is unfair to other local wineries. The secret recipe of baijiu can only be kept secret for one year. After one year, this secret recipe will be made public in the Song Dynasty, allowing other wineries to use it for free." Fan Zheng said again.

"I spent a hundred guan, but I can only use the secret recipe for one year? This is too expensive!" Shopkeeper Sun said dissatisfied.

Other wine shops also showed displeasure expressions, after all, no one is willing to give up the huge interests in front of them.

Fan Zheng calmly said: "The secret recipe of only one person is called the secret recipe. If you and the 71 wineries know it, can it still be called the secret recipe? With our joint efforts, it would be nice if we could keep it secret for a year, but in order to make up for you, In the future, only your 71 distilleries will be able to use the baijiu brand."

"Of course, if you don't want to, you don't have to pay the hundred guan. After one year, you can get the secret recipe for free." Fan Zheng added.

The faces of all the wine shop owners changed. In Kaifeng City, seventy families all used the secret recipe of baijiu, and his family didn't use it. How could they still survive.

Moreover, after paying the one hundred guan, not only can he keep his market share, but he also has the opportunity to win lands like the Liao Kingdom to double his value. Even if he wants to make the next best thing, he can change hands the land he has drawn in the Song Dynasty. Easy payback.

Fan Sanming said loudly: "Fan Miracle Doctor has a kind heart, and sold the Wanguan secret recipe to you at a discount of [-] guan. Waiting for another opportunity to increase your net worth, why do you have any hesitation about such a good thing?"

Although the secret recipe of liquor is handed over to him, he will earn more, but it will take a long time and a lot of pressure, but now he can easily earn more than 7000 yuan without any risk. Let the world find no faults.

"Evil recipe, this is an evil recipe!"

All the wine shop owners shouted wildly in their hearts, but they were helpless,
Fan Zheng secretly laughed in his heart. This is a conspiracy. He used the lottery routine of later generations in the secret recipe of liquor. Not to mention winning 100% of the lottery, he still has a 71% chance of getting rich. No one can refuse.
