The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 271 Curious Heart
post house.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, which made it unbearable for Li Yin who had been staying in the cold north of Liao Kingdom for a while.

He never left the fan, but even so, he still couldn't stand the heat.

Beads of sweat flowed from Lu Xue's beautiful cheeks, which somewhat affected her beauty, at least making people feel less arrogant. It turned out that people like her would sweat a lot because of the heat.

"You did a good job. Defeating the two major players of the Luoshu Chess Academy at once is enough to shock the capital of Song Dynasty, but this is not enough."

Lu Xue nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will challenge Hetu Chess Academy and Reversi Chess Academy one after another, and I have already studied the routines of their two academies' national players. Within a stick of incense, I am sure to beat them."

Li Yin nodded: "That's right, to deal with those chess players in the Song Dynasty, you need to have this confidence, but I don't mean this enough, but the people in the Song Dynasty didn't know that the people who defeated the Luoshu Chess Academy were our Liao Kingdom How can we humiliate people who don’t know?”

Lu Xue was slightly startled, and said, "Don't you know that this may cause the people of Song Dynasty to resent you, so what about our peace talks?"

"It's okay. If no one of them can win them in Go, then it's no wonder they dare to be arrogant in terms of peace talks. You don't have to worry about this matter. I sent someone to spread the word."

After hearing Li Yin's words, Lu Xue was finally relieved.

And just after the two finished talking about Go, Li Yin suddenly looked at Lu Xue and said, "I heard that there is a news in the capital recently, which is comparable to your defeat of the two major players of Luoshu Chess Academy?"

"That's right, the Liu family winery has newly brewed a kind of wine. The emperor and prince of the Song Dynasty and many friends of Liu Wei have already tasted it. Shu Chang, anyway, is very good, but in my opinion, the wine is only mediocre."

Li Yin had already inquired about these news, and when he heard Lu Xue's words, Li Yin smiled: "You can't say that, Liu Wei is a capable person, and I will send someone to buy all the other wines in his winery. Come and taste it, it is definitely a good wine, and now their newly brewed wine is only passed on among their Song emperors and princes, which shows the wonderful use of this wine."

"Since the master commented on it so much, how about the disciple find a way to get a few altars?"

"But I heard that Liu Family Winery doesn't sell this kind of wine now."

Lu Xue smiled: "If sir wants to drink, this disciple will definitely get it for you."

Lu Xue is able to be what she is today, all thanks to Li Yin's cultivation, and she knows that Li Yin likes to taste wine the most in her life, and now there is a kind of wine that is rumored to be buzzing in the capital, so it's no wonder Li Yin is not curious about it.

Seeing what Lu Xue said, Li Yin nodded with a smile: "Okay, take a few boxes of money with you, it's best to buy them if you can, and don't let anyone know that we are from Liao."

Lu Xue nodded, and then ordered someone to take a few boxes of money and go straight to Liu's winery.

From Lu Xue's point of view, although the wine from Liu Family Winery is good, it's not something money can't buy, right?As long as you can afford the price, what can't you buy?
And if the Liu family winery really doesn't sell it, and she is going to find Liu Wei, she doesn't believe that with her beauty and temperament, she can't get a few jars of beer from Liu Wei.

The Liu family winery's business was very good, Lu Xue's carriage was parked outside and lined up, and after waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally her turn.

Liu Quan had already received news of Lu Xue's arrival, and he had also received Liu Wei's order, but he was a little surprised, because Liu Wei's order had been given to him a few days ago, he was a little curious, his own How can the young master be sure that the Liao people will come to buy his wine?
Going up to meet her with a smile, Liu Quan said: "This girl wants to enter the bar. I don't know if she wants to enter the night wine, strong wind wine or wine?" At this point, before Lu Xue could speak, Liu Quan said again: " Our wines are the best wines sold in the capital, and each inn has a quota, if the family wants to store it alone, then there is a quota, usually each household can only buy..."

Before Liu Quan finished speaking, Lu Xue interrupted him suddenly, and said coldly, "I'm here to buy beer."

Liu Quan's expression changed, and he also said coldly: "No, the next one!"

Liu Quan's expression was in place, as if she didn't want to talk about beer with Lu Xue at all, but Lu Xue was a shrewd woman. In her opinion, there was nothing that couldn't be bought in this world, and it all depended on whether the price was right.

"Don't sell if you have money?"

Liu Quan smiled: "My young master said that beer is not for sale, it's just that beer is a rare commodity and the price is very high. It is impossible for ordinary people to pay a high price for a few pots of wine, and my young master likes to drink beer in summer the most. So I want to keep it for myself to drink."

Lu Xue smiled contemptuously, and she knew that this was the case. The so-called non-sale was rumored outside, but it was because others didn't give the right price.

"What is the price set by your young master?"

Liu Quan chuckled and stretched out a finger.

"Ten strings of money for one pot?"

Liu Quan shook his head: "Less!"

"One hundred strings?"

"Not much!"

Lu Xue suddenly had the urge to hit someone. The most expensive wine in the world is basically at this price, even if it is a tribute wine for the palace, it is enough.

"How much?"

"There is an altar for a thousand guns, and it is a small altar for a catty."

Sky-high price, this is definitely a sky-high price.

Lu Xue's face turned pale, he felt that this Liuwei was asking a lot of money, where is there such an expensive wine in the world?
At this moment, Liu Quan waved his hand: "I said that the girl won't ask for it. Let my young master drink this wine, next one."

Liu Quan was about to greet the people below, when Lu Xue stopped him suddenly: "One thousand guan is one thousand guan, give me ten altars."

Liu Quan smiled: "Young lady is a courageous person. If that's the case, then I can't say I won't sell it?" After speaking, Liu Quan immediately ordered someone to bring ten altars of beer, and then put Lu Xue on the carriage. The few boxes of money in the house were carried down.

After counting all the money correctly, Liu Quan smiled: "Young lady is a cheerful person. In this case, I have to be authentic. My young master said that this wine needs to be chilled in ice cubes to drink. Are there any ice cubes?"

Lu Xue was taken aback. If in their Liao Kingdom, there would be no shortage of ice cubes, but in Song Dynasty, where would she get ice cubes?
"Looking at the girl's expression, she is gone. My Liu Family Winery has a lot of ice cubes..."

"Bring it if you have it."

"I want money."

Lu Xue frowned slightly. She bought ten jars of beer from Liujia Winery, and now they still charge money for ice cubes. This business is too dishonest.

"how much is it?"

"A thousand barrels a barrel."

"You guys are simply robbery."

Ice cubes are as worthless as dung in winter, and it can even be said to be worse than dung, but now it is summer, and it is not easy for people without such conditions to see a piece of ice.

"You don't have to buy it, girl, but if you think the beer is not good after you go back, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Lu Xue bit her lip, and untied a jade flute from her waist: "If you don't have any money, you have this, do you want it?"

The cyan jade flute, it can be seen that it is a high-quality jade, Liu Quan glanced at it and nodded: "The fineness is good, but it is not worth a thousand pennies, but seeing how the girl is taking care of my Liu family's business today, a jade flute, a deal."

After receiving the jade flute, Liu Quan ordered someone to carry a bucket of ice cubes to Lu Xue's carriage.

Lu Xue was very poor at this time, she did not expect that after buying this wine, all her money was gone, and what made her feel distressed the most was that her favorite jade flute was also gone.

But is there any way, isn't everything just to please Li Yin? ——
Just after Lu Xue left with a few jars of beer, Liu Quan hurried to find Liu Wei, and told Liu Wei what happened here. After hearing this, Liu Wei showed a slight smile, and then said to Liu Quan: "The beer can be sold. Ten strings of money for an altar."

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Liu Quan was dumbfounded. Although he thought it was a bit expensive to sell a jar of a thousand guan to that Lu Xue, but now Liu Wei suddenly wanted to sell it for ten guan, which was too cheap.

The huge gap made Liu Quan feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Liu Quan like this, Liu Wei smiled: "It's very uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Liu Quan nodded: "Yes, young master, this...the difference is too big."

"It's right to be uncomfortable. My young master just wants to make those Liao people feel uncomfortable."

post house.

By the time Lu Xue returned to the posthouse, the ice had almost melted, but it didn't matter, she had already poured a few jars of beer into it on the way back to the posthouse. Ready to drink right away.

Seeing Lu Xue came back, Li Yin was very excited and asked, "Have you got it?"

Lu Xue nodded: "I got it, I bought ten altars for [-] guan." Lu Xue didn't dare to say that it cost another [-] guan to buy ice cubes.

Li Yin was slightly taken aback when he heard that ten thousand guan had bought ten altars, but then said, "Taste first."

He took out an altar and poured a cup, Li Yin drank it all in one gulp, and smacked his tongue after drinking it, feeling that it was really delicious and his whole body felt comfortable.

"Okay, good wine, really refreshed after drinking it, the value of this ten thousand flowers is really worth it."

Seeing that Li Yin was happy, Lu Xue was somewhat relieved. As Li Yin was the emperor's teacher, it was better to please him than anything else, not to mention that the [-] guan money was not hers, so she lost a jade flute.

But when the two were excited, a guard suddenly rushed over: "Sir, the people in the entire capital are going crazy now, and they are running to the Liu Family Winery to buy beer."

Li Yin and Lu Xue didn't think anything of it, because in their view, once the business started, other people would flock to it. You are in business, and if you sell to others, you have to sell to us.

"In that case, Liuwei has made a lot of money, but I don't know how many people can afford it."

"Affordable, very cheap, ten pennies a pot."
