The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 9

After learning what Princess Xingping meant, Liu Wei went to find Cao Jue. Although Cao Jue wanted Liu Wei to ignore what Princess Xingping said, Liu Wei still smiled and shook his head. Naturally, Wei can understand Cao Jue's status in the Xingping County Lord's Mansion. The father of the Xingping County Lord holds an important position in the court. The Xingping County Lord is probably even more domineering than the Yi County Lord. It is not easy to be her son-in-law .

"Brother Cao, don't worry, I, Liu Wei, borrowed the 2 taels of silver. I will find a way to pay you back when the business of my Liu Family Winery starts."

Cao Jue looked embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a while, but Liu Wei smiled lightly: "I understand what Brother Cao thinks, and you don't have to feel guilty about it, even so, you and I are still friends. "

Cao Jue also wanted the two of them to be like before, but Cao Jue still felt very embarrassed that there was such a thing between them.

Seeing this, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Since Brother Cao is like this, how about you help me process a batch of the wine from my Liu Family Winery after it's brewed?"

When Cao Jue heard this, he was immediately happy: "Don't worry, your bartender is on me. I know so many people, and each of their families buys a lot of wine every year. The ones you brew now may not be enough."

After solving Cao Jue's matter, Liu Wei's life became easier. Apart from visiting Liu's winery every day, he rested in the princess's mansion. Although the two were not like husband and wife, they did not have any enemies. There will also be a few words in the face.

At the beginning of June, when the first batch of wine from the Liu Family Winery arrived, Liu Quan was very apprehensive about opening the altar. Although the Liu Family Winery reopened, but the old owner was gone, he really didn’t have the young master’s solution. How much confidence, if the wine is not brewed, it will be a big loss.

On the day of the opening of the altar, the weather was a bit gloomy, the wind was a bit wild, and a rain seemed to be coming.

Liu Wei brought the people from the village to the warehouse and randomly selected twenty jars of wine.

Twenty jars of wine were placed in the corridor, and under Liu Wei's order, Liu Quan opened one jar after another. After the wine jars were opened, a scent of wine wafted into the nostrils, and the smell was intoxicating.

When the first jar was opened, Liu Quan was a little excited. After all, it was a good start. After opening a jar, the wine smelled so good. There were twenty jars in a row, and none of them were spoiled. Moreover, the wine was better than before. The wine was even more fragrant, at this time, Liu Quan was a little surprised, he poured out a bowl and drank it all in one gulp, but felt that the wine tasted mellow, he had never drunk such delicious wine.

After putting down the wine bowl, Liu Quan came to Liu Wei almost weeping with joy: "Master, every jug is full of wine, this kind of success rate is higher than when the master was here, and this wine is really delicious. "

Liu Wei smiled lightly, he has improved the brewing method of this wine, and added a few more flavors than the previous materials, so that the wine tastes more mellow, and after drinking it, the fragrance will remain on the lips and teeth, with endless aftertaste.

"The step of sealing the altar is what I call the heat sterilization method. Using this method to make wine, the yield of each jar is extremely high. This wine is slightly different from the wine my father made before. Uncle Liu will give it another name. A good name will lead to good sales.”

At this time, Liu Quan was already very excited. Seeing Liu Wei was so mature, stable and capable, he kept telling his old club that the Liu family had a good successor, but when he suddenly heard that Liu Wei asked him to name the new wine, he couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he said with a look of embarrassment: "Young master, this old slave doesn't study much, so I can't name it well, so I should give it to you, young master."

Seeing that Liu Quan didn't seem to be modest, Liu Wei stopped being polite and said, "This wine has a stronger fragrance, so it's called Tan Xiang Bar!"

Liu Quan thought the name was good, and applauded it repeatedly, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of a question: "Master, we have brewed this wine, but how can we sell it? If we can't sell it, we will lose a lot of money." ?”

Liu Wei smiled lightly, and said: "It's okay, I've already thought about the countermeasures, Cao Concubine will come to fill the wine later, after he comes, you can let him pretend, let him pretend as much as he can."

"Master, this is it?"

"Give it to him!"

"Then you, young master?"

"If you have something to leave, I will leave it to Uncle Liu!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wei picked up a small jar of wine and left Liu's Winery, entered the streets of the capital, and after a few turns, arrived at Qin's Restaurant.

At this time, the business of Qin's Restaurant was not very good. When Liu Wei entered, there was only one customer drinking in the corner, but Liu Wei didn't pay much attention to that customer. After entering, he went directly to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun hadn't seen Liu Wei for more than a month. She couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw Liu Wei suddenly today, but she was still calm and didn't panic. But want to drink?"

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head: "I am not here to drink today, but to do business with Boss Qin!"

"Business?" Qin Yun couldn't help becoming vigilant. As a businessman, Qin Yun was very surprised by Liu Wei's request, because in her opinion, a son-in-law can afford to eat and wear, so where does he need to do business?

But Liu Wei didn't seem to be joking.

Liu Wei put a jar of wine on the table and asked, "Where does Boss Qin's wine come from?"

"Some are homemade, and some are imported from Xiangqianli Winery..." At this point, Qin Yun suddenly stopped, obviously thinking of the festival between Liu Family Winery and Xiangqianli Winery.

Seeing Qin Yun stop suddenly, Liu Wei quickly understood, but after understanding, he just smiled lightly: "I don't know how much per liter of wine Boss Qin bought from Xiangqianli Winery?"

Qin Yun was a little puzzled by Liu Wei's question today, but thinking of what happened that night more than a month ago, he still answered Liu Wei: "The Qianlixiang wine from Xiangqianli Winery has a mellow taste, and it is better than the wine outside. It costs two pennies, and a liter of wine costs twenty pennies."

Liu Wei smiled lightly, twenty cents a liter of wine is already considered expensive in this market, but compared to the cost of his wine making, it is still profitable. Thinking of this, Liu Wei directly explained his intention.

"My son-in-law's Liu's winery has reopened. This is our newly brewed Tanxiang wine. It is sold to expensive restaurants for [-] cents per liter. I wonder what Boss Qin thinks?"

Qin Yun heard that Liu Wei was here to sell his own wine, so he was relieved: "My son-in-law's face is given by the daughters of the people, well, from now on, my Qin's restaurant will buy wine from the son-in-law's Liu family winery. "

Qin Yun agreed very happily, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said: "Boss Qin's promise is too straightforward, isn't he afraid that the wine is too bad, and he will lose money if he buys it?"

Hearing this, Qin Yun couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The reason he agreed so happily was to thank Liu Wei for stepping forward that night more than a month ago. As for the quality of the wine, she didn't care, but Liu Wei When Wei asked this question, it was obvious that he had doubts. Thinking of Pan Weide's threat, Qin Yun couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"The Liu Family Winery had a good reputation in the past. I believe that it is very worthwhile to buy wine from the Liu Family Winery at [-] cents per liter."

As he said that, Qin Yun opened the wine jar, trying to show that he was very knowledgeable, but when the wine jar was opened, Qin Yun couldn't help being startled, because the moment the wine jar was opened, a scent of wine wafted into his nostrils. Instantly overwhelmed the aroma of other wines in the restaurant, the aroma of the wine overflowed, making one want to be drunk.

Qin Yun had never smelled such a wine before, she looked at Liu Wei in surprise: "What did the son-in-law say the name of this wine just now?"

"Tanxiang wine, the aroma of this wine is not comparable to other wines, but I don't know how it tastes?" Before Liu Weifu could answer, the only customer of Qin's restaurant suddenly spoke, with a three-pointed drunkenness. Walk towards Liu Wei and Qin Yun.

When the man stood up and walked, Liu Wei discovered that this man was slender and handsome, but there was a slight sadness between his brows, which made people think of the word "drinking sorrow with wine" after one glance.

After the man came, he bowed slightly and said, "I wonder if I can have a drink?"

The man in front of him was quite nice, and Liu Wei was not the kind of person who would take money into his eyes. He cupped his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course, Boss Qin, please bring some wine glasses."

Qin Yun nodded, quickly took out three wine glasses, filled them with wine, and handed them to the two people in front of him. Liu Wei served the wine and said: "Brother must also be a person who understands wine, please taste it."

The man was not polite, took a sip from the wine glass, and then drank the glass of wine in one gulp. After drinking this time, he shouted loudly: "Good wine, I, Chu Xikuang, think that the wine I have drunk is not counted. It counts, but it is the first time to drink such a mellow wine, eighteen cents per liter, it is cheap."

When Chu Xikuang said this, Qin Yun had already finished drinking a glass of wine, and she had the same opinion as Chu Xikuang, so after she put down the wine glass, she immediately smiled and said, "My lord, how can you really drink this wine?" Are you going to sell it to me at Qin's Restaurant for eighteen cents per liter?"

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "That's natural, but when Boss Qin sells it, he can't sell it at this price. I want Boss Qin to sell it for [-] yuan per liter, and for every liter sold, I want to draw two coins here." The profit of money."

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Qin Yun immediately understood that Liu Wei could have been sold to him for twenty cents per liter, and he would never refuse such a good wine. Taking profits after going out is obviously favoring her restaurant, but I don't know why.

"Liu Concubine's doing this must not be as simple as selling wine to me at Qin's Restaurant, right?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth: "Of course it's not that simple. My son-in-law sells wine to Boss Qin because I want to cooperate with Boss Qin for a long time, and my Liu family winery needs to rely on Boss Qin's help to open up sales. Besides..." When Liu Wei said this, he glanced at Chu Xikuang who was standing at the side, and said with a smile: "This jar of wine is for Brother Chu!"

Chu Xikuang has never left the jar of wine since he drank that glass of wine. Now that Liu Wei gave it to him, he immediately picked up the jar of wine excitedly and left.

And at this time, Liu Wei continued what he said just now: "My son-in-law wants to know one more thing."
