Yipin Tang

Chapter 25
Rareness is the most expensive thing, and the price of first-tasting wine will naturally drop after a large supply. Now it only costs two taels of silver to drink a small glass of first-tasting wine in Baiweilou, but compared with ordinary drinks that cost ten cents a pot and a penny a bowl It's a sky-high drink.Those who can go to Baiweilou to eat are either rich or expensive, and what others drink is first-class wine. Do you have the nerve to order a bowl of ordinary wine?Therefore, since Yipin Wineshop supplied a large amount of Yipin Wine, no one cares about the ordinary drinks in Baiweilou, and the profit of drinks alone is dozens of times higher than in the past. After the surprise, shopkeeper Huang felt a little worried.

Just seeing off the three Li brothers after dinner, Wang Xiang lay on the recliner and picked his teeth leisurely.

"You said that the shopkeeper Huang of Baiweilou is willing to increase the purchase price by [-]% so that we can only provide them with one tasting wine at Baiweilou?"

Butler Wang said excitedly: "Yes, young master, [-]% is a lot of money."

Looking at the excited Steward Wang, Wang Xiang said leisurely, "Even if I don't agree to his request, how difficult is it to ask him to increase the purchase price by [-]%?"

"Young master, what do you mean?" Butler Wang looked puzzled.

"Baiweilou is the number one restaurant in Chang'an City." Wang Xiang smiled playfully, squinting his eyes and said quietly: "If I stop providing first-tasting wines to Baiweilou and start providing first-tasting wines to Hongfulou and Tongyuanlou, I don't know How long can Baiweilou be the No. [-] restaurant in Chang'an City?"

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Butler Wang was completely stunned. Hongfulou and Tongyuanlou are the largest restaurants in Chang'an City after Baiweilou, and now a tasting of wine has become a must-order drink for the rich and powerful. Who would have the nerve to drink ordinary drinks?Because of this reason, the business of Hongfulou and Tongyuanlou is not as good as before, but Baiweilou is full of seats every day. If there is no wine tasting in Baiweilou and Hongfulou and Tongyuanlou have wine tasting, then...

Thinking of this, Steward Wang almost wanted to exclaim, a taste of wine can actually influence the business of the three major restaurants in Chang'an City!

"No wonder shopkeeper Huang seemed to be very eager to sign the document with me. Fortunately, he didn't agree because he wanted to discuss it with the young master." At this point, Butler Wang's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Then our own restaurant?"

Did you just think of it?Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "Degui has already told me about this, but our restaurant is worse than the three major restaurants in Chang'an City. It's not 01:30. Just a taste of wine is not enough." Seeing Steward Wang was a little disappointed Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Degui Restaurant doesn't have much business either. I asked Degui to close the restaurant first. When the restaurant reopens, it's time for us to compete for the No. [-] restaurant in Chang'an City."

Steward Wang, who was over the age of [-], heard Wang Xiang's words, and his heart burst into flames, and he said excitedly: "Old Lord Hou, bless you, the Hou Mansion is hopeful!"

Wang Xiang ignored the excited Steward Wang, got up and straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"Where is the young master going so late?"

"Yicui Building."

……

Ningxiang looked at Wang Xiang who was pretending to be sitting upright in front of her with a smile, while Xiaocui stood by and stared at her big eyes full of vigilance, for fear that Wang Xiang would do something excessive. The former Wang Zixin was not a well behaved person. people.

"It's the first time that Mr. Wang has come to our Yicui Building since the Jinguang Lake Poetry Meeting that day." Ningxiang's voice revealed a faint resentment.

Wang Xiang smiled awkwardly. The former Wang Zixin was a frequent visitor to Yicuilou, and it was his first time to come to such a place, so he was a little uncomfortable. When he first entered Yicuilou, he said he was looking for Ningxiang, and he was immediately greeted by everyone. Contempt and ridicule, Ningxiang is something you can see if you want to see it?

Fortunately, Xiaocui, who came down to pour water, recognized Wang Xiang at a glance. Ningxiang was a little happy when she heard that Wang Xiang came here specially to find her. The white fox made her famous in Chang'an City to an unprecedented height. But after the Jinguang Lake Poetry Club, I never saw Wang Xiang again. I thought Wang Xiang had forgotten her a long time ago.

When Ning Xiang personally went downstairs to welcome Wang Xiang up, those dandies who had just scorned and ridiculed them suddenly seemed stupid, and after a moment they all shouted that there was no reason.

In the past, I always found Wang Zixin annoying when he ran to Yicui Tower every day, but these days he didn't come, but I missed him like this.Ning Xiang's face flushed slightly.

"Cough." Being embarrassed by Ningxiang, Wang Xiang coughed dryly and said, "Didn't your majesty ask me to be the supervisor of Si Nong Temple, so I've been busy these few days."

"I'm afraid it's not just busy with these?"

Seeing Ningxiang looking at him with resentment, Wang Xiang said with a guilty conscience: "Then what else can there be?"

"Young Master Wang came to our Yicui Building three days before the big wedding, isn't he afraid of what others will say?"

Nima, let me tell you why Steward Wang looked at me so strangely when I said I was coming to Yicui Tower. Three days later it will be the day when Wu Shun and I get married. This is really not the right time, so we should wait. Come back when you're done.Thinking of this, Wang Xiang felt that something was wrong, forget it, let's ignore it.

Wang Xiang laughed and said: "I didn't even think of this, you say it's funny, haha, hahaha."

"Is it funny?" Xiao Cui looked at Wang Xiang like a fool and interjected.

Wang Xiang's laughter faltered, and he leaned close to Ningxiang's ear and complained in a low voice: "Your little maid is too uncute."

Feeling Wang Xiang's breath tickling her ears, Ning Xiang covered her mouth with a blushing smile and said, "This girl's ears are pointed."

Sure enough, when Wang Xiang turned his head, he met Shang Xiaocui's murderous eyes, his cheeks puffed up.

"Where am I not cute? And! Why are you so close to our lady!"

It was only then that Wang Xiang realized how ambiguous his actions were, and quickly sat back, but the inadvertent sniff made Ningxiang feel confused.

"Why did Prince Wang come here today?" Ning Xiang broke the embarrassment.

"I have a gift for you."

"What gift?" Ning Xiang asked curiously.

"Perfume." Wang Xiang took out an exquisite box from his arms, which contained the international brand perfume he had prepared in advance.

Ning Xiang wondered, "What is perfume?"

Wang Xiang pushed the box in front of Ning Xiang and said, "Open it and have a look."

When Ning Xiang heard the words and opened the box, she exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

"It's the first time I've seen such crystal clear glass."

No wonder Ningxiang was so surprised. There were five perfumes with different flavors in the box. The bottles of the perfumes were made of crystals of five different colors. The crystal clearness was far from the current glass, and the bottles were cut and polished very precisely. , the brilliance reflected by countless facets is even more gorgeous and eye-catching.

This thing is not for viewing, Wang Xiang signaled Ning Xiang to unscrew the bottle cap.

"It smells so good!"

Seeing Ningxiang's astonishment, Wang Xiang said triumphantly: "This is perfume. You only need to sprinkle one drop on your clothes, and the fragrance will last all day long. These five bottles of perfume are five different fragrances."

Curiously, Ning Xiang unscrewed the other four bottles of perfume and sniffed them lightly. Sure enough, the scents were different.

Seeing that Ningxiang seems to be very unfamiliar with perfume, Wang Xiang asked curiously: "I heard that Miss Ningxiang has a faint fragrance on her body. Could it be that she doesn't use perfume?"

Ning Xiang heard the words and thought of Wang Xiang's sniffing on her face just now, she blushed and said nothing, Xiao Cui looked enviously at the perfume bottle in Ning Xiang's hand and said, "The fragrance on my lady's body is not What perfume are you talking about, it is the lady's own fragrance."

It turned out to be a natural scent, Wang Xiang secretly marveled, it was even more alluring than perfume.

"Xiao Cui!"

Seeing that Ningxiang was ashamed and angry, Xiao Cui murmured in a low voice, "It's nothing to be courteous about."

"Hey, that, Miss Xiao Cui, I also prepared a gift for you." I can't believe that a yellow-haired girl can't handle you!
"Really! Do I have it too?" Xiaocui's eyes flooded.

Wang Xiang took out another bottle of perfume from his arms. Although it was not as exquisite as the five bottles of Ningxiang, it still surprised Xiao Cui. He carefully took the perfume from Wang Xiang and looked at it carefully, imitating Ningxiang. He unscrewed the bottle cap like that and sniffed it lightly, then smiled, and when he raised his head, he found that Wang Xiang was staring at him, and then put on a cold look on purpose and said, "Don't think that you can buy me off with a bottle of perfume." His tone softened a lot.

Wang Xiang felt much more comfortable without Xiaocui's watching eyes.

"Young Master, this gift is too expensive, I..."

Wang Xiang waved his hand to interrupt Ningxiang and said: "If Miss Ningxiang regards my Wang Zixin as a friend, then don't refuse, or is it that Miss Ningxiang has a delicate fragrance and doesn't like my perfume?"

Hearing Wang Xiang's joke, Ningxiang was both shy and happy: He regards me as a friend.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Since we are friends, why do you still call me Prince Wang? You can just call me Zixin."

Xiaocui was about to speak when she heard Wang Xiang's words, but after looking at the perfume in her hand, she just pouted and said nothing.

Ningxiang hesitated for a moment and said in a soft voice, "Is Zixin here today for something?"

Hearing Ningxiang calling him Zixin, Wang Xiang felt happy, and said, "It's true that I want to trouble Miss Ningxiang with something."

Ning Xiang asked curiously: "What do you need the help of a little girl like me?"

"The son of Steward Wang in my house helps me run a restaurant, but he doesn't know anything about the layout of the restaurant. The restaurant has no business at all. That day I saw that the layout of the girl's painting boat was ingenious, so I wanted to ask Miss Ningxiang to help me think about it." Think about how to decorate the restaurant in order to attract customers."

"My lord...what's the name of Zixin's restaurant?"

"Degui Restaurant."

Ning Xiang chuckled and said, "Why did Yi Zixin's poem have such a name?"

Wang Xiang said with a gloomy face: "Don't mention it, I didn't choose this name, because Steward Wang's son is called Wang Degui, so the restaurant took such a name, but it will be changed in the future."

Ning Xiang covered her mouth with a smile and said, "That Zixin told me about the size and location of the restaurant in detail."

Wang Xiang told the details of the restaurant.

Ning Xiang really has an exquisite heart, just thinking about it for a while, she already has an idea. Wang Xiang was even more pleasantly surprised after listening to it. Before leaving, he said mysteriously: "When the restaurant opens, I will ask Miss Ning Xiang to help me. busy."
