The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 181 Fragrant Wine

Hot summer.

The weather in Xingwangfu City is getting hotter and hotter, and the noise of cicadas can be heard endlessly.

But on such an afternoon, there were surprisingly many people in Huashi Restaurant, and there was even a long queue outside the restaurant.

A man came from a distance, and seeing such a long queue at Huashi Restaurant, he couldn't help being a little curious, so he stepped forward and asked a commoner in line, "Why are there so many people in this Huashi Restaurant?"

The commoner had a slight smile on his face: "You don't know that, Hua's restaurant opens today, and everyone can taste two taels of small wine in it for free. We are all waiting to drink."

Two taels of wine is not too much, and it only costs a few pennies if you want to buy it on weekdays, but fortunately it is free, and as long as it is free, why not?

The man quickly understood what was going on, and after a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he walked straight to the restaurant. Seeing this, the people in line behind were suddenly a little unhappy.

"Queue up behind."

"Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?"

The common people in line shouted, but the man didn't take it seriously, he just shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not trying to grab these two or two drinks with you, I'm going to find Boss Hua if I have something to do."

Once the man said this, those who lined up couldn't say much more.

But at this time, a young servant has already rushed out. After running out, the young servant took a look at the man first. Seeing that the man was dressed luxuriously and looked like a rich man, a smile appeared on his face.

"This boss, do you want to discuss business with us, Manager Hua?"

Negotiating business with the winery is naturally buying wine from the winery, and the Fahrenheit Restaurant gave free wine today to attract customers. The man just said that he wanted to find Hua Ping'an, so the boy in the restaurant thought that the man came It's natural to talk about business.

However, the man was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled again: "That's right, I'm indeed here to discuss business with your manager. Where is he?"

"Since it's about business, please hurry up, my house manager is in the backyard."

Fahrenheit Restaurant is very large, and the backyard is also quite elegant. The few Yehe joy trees planted are blooming with small light red and white flowers at this time. The small flowers full of trees are so elegant that people can forget their sorrows.

After the man entered the backyard, he was led directly to the living room, where Hua Ping'an was waiting.

When the man walked into the living room, Hua Ping'an immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, "I don't know how to address the distinguished guest?"

The man smiled lightly: "In Xialongpiao, Boss Hua's business is doing well."

Hua Ping'an smiled. The business of his winery and restaurant is all what Qiu Shuang claims, and he is just a boss on the bright side. How could he think of such a way of giving away wine for free to attract customers?

At the beginning, he was very opposed to the free wine delivery, but Qiushuang said that they are a newly opened restaurant with an unstable foundation, so he insisted on free delivery. There are really a lot of people in their winery.

First of all, this wine is called Piaoxiang wine, which was developed by Qiushuang after tasting Tanxiang wine constantly, so the taste is very good, so anyone who has drunk it will feel that this wine is very good; secondly, some ordinary people who come here to taste the wine Common people, two liang of wine is really not much, but it can arouse their desire to drink. In this way, after they drink two liang of wine, as long as they have a little money, they will drink a few liters and go back to taste it slowly.

In this way, only a small amount of wine is free, and their restaurant has already sold a lot of wine, and other inns and restaurants have heard that Piaoxiang wine is good, so they all order wine from their winery.

Hua Ping'an felt that this Long Piao was also here to order wine.

"I don't know how much wine Boss Long wants to order? Because the winery has just opened and there is not much wine produced, so the maximum is a hundred jars per person."

Hua Ping'an felt that ordering one hundred altars per person was pretty good.

But Long Piao shook his head: "I'm not here to order wine, but my master wants to ask Hua to take charge of the house for a while."

Hearing that Long Piao didn't come to order wine, Hua Ping'an frowned slightly. He had a feeling of being cheated, and he was a little puzzled. If a servant like Long Piao could dress so well, then what about his boss? What kind of existence and identity will it be?

"I don't know who your master is?" Although Hua Ping'an had a bad impression of Long Piao at this time, he thought that he was going to do business in Xingwangfu City, so he still behaved peacefully. After all, peace makes money.

"Master Wen Leiwen."

Hearing that Long Piao's boss was Wen Lei, Hua Ping'an frowned again.

"I don't know what Master Wen is asking me for?"

"I don't know about this, I'm afraid it will only be known after Hua is in charge."

Hua Pingan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
-
The air is sweltering and hot, making people feel manic.

Ever since Qin Yun and Wen Tu broke off their engagement, Qin Yun has also lived in the Qin Mansion, only coming to the mansion occasionally, and most of the time she is helping to build the Liu Family Winery.

But this afternoon, she hurried into the government office with a jar of wine.

When Qin Yun came to the government office, there was a little sweat on her forehead, but the sweat was fragrant on her face, and she looked handsome.

Seeing her coming with a jug of wine, Liu Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss Qin, what good wine did you find, and you're here at this time?"

Qin Yun showed a wry smile: "It's really good wine, please let the son-in-law taste it."

As he spoke, Qin Yun poured Liu Wei a glass of wine, and then sat down opposite Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was sitting under the shadow of the trees in the courtyard at this time, surrounded by cicadas and willow branches, he picked up the wine glass and smelled it first, then took a sip, and turned his head upside down after drinking: "Although it is slightly worse than Tanxiang wine. , but it can be called good wine, where did Miss Qin get it?"

Qin Yun shrugged his shoulders: "Walking on the street today, I saw a newly opened restaurant where people can taste wine for free, so I went in and had a drink. After tasting, I thought the taste of the wine was good, but it was also a bit strange, so I bought a bottle. The altar is for Prince Liu to taste, I wonder if the Prince-in-law can taste any difference?"

Seeing that Qin Yun was about to test himself, Liu Wei smiled lightly: "I noticed something unusual when I smelled this wine, because its fragrance is very similar to that of Tanxiang wine, and I feel this way even more after tasting it, but this wine is more After all, Zhitan Xiangjiu has less ingredients, so the taste is slightly worse."

Seeing the taste of Liu Wei, Qin Yun finally showed a hint of anxiety.

"The name of this wine is Piaoxiang wine, and it is very similar to the dark night wine brewed by the lord, but in this Xingwangfu city, how can anyone imitate the dark night wine made by the lord?"

"What does Miss Qin mean?"

"When we were in the capital, some people imitated the strong wind wine of the adults, and now some people imitate the Tanxiang wine. We have to pay attention. The market is small if it is robbed, but if they imitate it so casually, how can we survive? Moreover, it is not certain whether the person who imitated our Tanxiangjiu has any evil intentions."

After Qin Yun expressed his worries, he looked at Liu Wei, but Liu Wei only smiled lightly, and said in a very casual tone: "Fahrenheit Restaurant opened a new store, and if you can think of a free gimmick to attract customers, then you know that. The person behind it must be a very smart person, but this person is definitely not Hua Ping'an, because this son-in-law has been in contact with him, and he is not so smart."

"Tanxiang wine has never been sold in Xingwangfu City, and the only people who have actually drank it are some people from the five major families, but I don't think that people from the five major families can copy it except your father, and you Father has cooperated with this son-in-law and will definitely not use this method again, so the people behind the Huashi Restaurant must have come from the capital."

Liu Wei said these words very casually, as if he was aware of these problems, but didn't care. Qin Yun frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "Since that man came from the capital, he must have malicious intentions. My lord, you should be more careful, and the Liu Family Winery will start making wine after it is completed, if there is such fragrant wine, our wine may not be easy to sell."

What Qin Yun said was not unreasonable, but Liu Wei smiled lightly: "Tanxiang Wine and Liefeng Wine have already gained fame, as long as we brew them, they will definitely be sold. As for the Huashi Restaurant, don't worry about it." In a hurry, let's take a look at what kind of tricks they want to play, maybe he has a background in the capital, but in Xingwangfu City, everything is decided by this son-in-law."

When a person has power, he has such self-confidence.

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Qin Yun suddenly understood.
-
Washington.

The news of the good business of Hua's Restaurant has spread to Washington, even to Qiushuang's ears.

After listening to the spy's narration, Qiushuang nodded in satisfaction.

She is still very confident in Piaoxiang wine, and she is also very satisfied with the way she came up with to attract customers for free. If the wine is good and the method is good, is there any reason why the business is not good?
Just when Qiushuang was happy, Dongyu frowned slightly. She had also tasted Piaoxiang wine, and it was indeed a good wine, but compared with Tanxiang wine, it was still much worse. She believed that Qiushuang must know this too .

"Sister Qiushuang, Piaoxiang wine is very similar to Tanxiang wine, so will Liu Wei discover something from it?"

"That Liuwei is a smart man, as long as he tastes our wine, he will be able to discover something, but we don't have to be too nervous, don't forget, we are winemakers, and he Liuwei is also a winemaker, and he Liuwei is also a winemaker. Besides being a brewer, Wei is also the magistrate of Xingwangfu City, if he dares to take any action against us, what do you think the restaurants in Xingwangfucheng will think?"

Dong Yu was slightly taken aback, and her heart sank even more.

If Liu Wei really took action against their Fahrenheit restaurant, then the restaurants in the entire Xingwangfu City would think that Liu Wei suppressed them wantonly for their own interests. Who dares to do business in Xingwangfu City?
