#37 - Chapter 37 Two superiors fighting for wine
After hearing Qiao Huaishan's news, Li Yuan slowly nodded.
“I understand. Shopkeeper Qiao, please be careful as well.”
Being targeted by bandits indeed made Li Yuan a little worried.
However, Li Yuan quickly felt relieved.
The military household villages were not like ordinary villages.
Every family had iron knives and spears, and they could pull together a hundred or so men at any time.
Moreover, they had all received some training in battle formations.
Ordinary bandits really wouldn't dare to target the military household villages.
He only needed to be careful of large groups of robbers on the road.
After saying goodbye to Boss Qiao, Li Yuan drove his carriage to the Drunken Fragrance Inn again.
This time, it was very fortunate that not only was Ninth Sister there, but Old Qin seemed to be entertaining guests.
Hearing that Li Yuan had come to deliver goods, Ninth Sister and Old Qin invited Li Yuan to the elegant room on the third floor for a chat.
Li Yuan arrived at the elegant room on the third floor and found that in addition to the old acquaintances Ninth Sister and Old Qin, there were also two other people he had not seen before.
On the upper left side, sat a very refined middle-aged scholar.
On the right side was a burly man with a black beard.
After Old Qin's introduction, Li Yuan learned that the middle-aged scholar was named Yang Yue, and he was the county magistrate's secretary.
The black-bearded man was named Zhang Kui, and he was the Left Guard of the Military Governor's Office in the county.
They didn't understand why Old Qin would introduce this person to them.
Li Yuan knew what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
However, he was not annoyed. He just wanted to see what Old Qin's intention was in introducing him.
At this time, the middle-aged scholar Yang Yue said to Old Qin.
“Mr. Qin, we've been here for so long, when can we get the wine?”
On the other side, the Left Guard Zhang Kui also shouted with his broken gong voice.
“Yes, Mr. Qin, please give me a straight answer. I'm so anxious.”
Hearing them mention wine, Li Yuan's heart stirred.
He didn't speak, but listened to their conversation silently.
Through the conversation, he roughly understood the intentions of these two people in coming to the Drunken Fragrance Inn.
The secretary Yang Yue and the Left Guard Zhang Kui were looking for Old Qin and Ninth Sister for one thing, and that was to buy a batch of wine.
Next month was the county magistrate's birthday. If there wasn't a batch of good wine to entertain guests, wouldn't that be a loss of face?
The wine he had his eye on was naturally the [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar] that had recently become very popular in the county.
The Left Guard Zhang Kui on the other side was the same.
The Military Governor's Office's Military Governor was going to visit the Dingzhou General in the capital.
It was said that this Dingzhou General had no other hobbies, he just liked to drink wine.
Especially strong and good wine.
So he sent this Left Guard Zhang Kui, who knew a lot about wine, to prepare good wine.
His target was naturally also the [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar].
Looking at the eager gazes of the two, Old Qin said with some embarrassment.
“I won't hide it from you two superiors.”
“The [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar] are selling very well now.”
“As soon as the wine is delivered, it will almost be sold out in a few days.”
“Ninth Sister and I don't have much stock here.”
Then Old Qin raised his hand and pointed at Li Yuan, saying.
“This young master Li is the owner of the winery that brews [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar].”
“I invited him upstairs to ask him to help you two superiors think of a solution.”
Only at this time did Li Yuan understand that the reason Old Qin called him to the third floor was this.
The two superiors looked at each other.
The way they looked at Li Yuan this time no longer had the contempt and dissatisfaction they had before, but was much more serious.
Both of them were on a mission. If they couldn't buy good wine to take back, they would be punished by their superiors.
Now it seemed that the hope of buying good wine rested on this small military household in front of them.
The secretary Yang Yue was the first to react.
He immediately said with a smile in a warm voice.
“This little brother, how can you be standing? Someone, quickly bring a seat.”
The rough and heroic man, Left Guard Zhang Kui, also reacted.
“That's right, go and move a seat for this little brother.”
Li Yuan was not polite. Seeing a servant bring over a chair, he sat down steadily.
Then he asked knowingly.
“Thank you two superiors for the seat. I wonder what I can do for you?”
The two looked at each other, and smiles rarely appeared on their faces.
“Little brother, to be honest, we want to buy some good wine. I wonder if you still have any in stock here?”
In fact, with the status of these two superiors in the county, they didn't need to be so polite to Li Yuan, a small military household.
But it just so happened that the County Office and the Military Governor's Office had the power to supervise each other.
They didn't want to reveal their domineering side in front of the other party, giving the other party a handle.
That's why they were so gentle and kind to Li Yuan, the military household and winery owner.
Li Yuan cupped his hands and said.
“This time, I brought a hundred bottles each of [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar] for Old Qin and Ninth Sister.”
As soon as the two heard this, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
They turned to look at Old Qin and Ninth Sister.
“We want all of this batch of wine. What do you two think?”
Old Qin and Ninth Sister showed bitter smiles on their faces.
They were also waiting for this batch of wine. The wine in the store had already been sold out.
Many regular customers came for these two kinds of wine.
If they were all given to these two superiors, Qin Lao's wine shop and Ninth Sister's Drunken Fragrance Inn would have no wine to sell in a short time.
This would cause a great loss.
However, they didn't dare not agree.
These two were powerful figures in the county.
If they were made unhappy and they gave you some trouble, the two of them wouldn't be able to handle it.
Ninth Sister and Old Qin were in trouble.
Li Yuan on the side said again.
“I have brought a new wine this time.”
“I feel it is three points better than [Qingyuan Brew] and [Hundred Flower Nectar].”
“I would like to invite the two superiors, Old Qin, and Ninth Sister to taste it.”
“Oh? Really?”
Everyone present showed interested expressions when they heard that Li Yuan had brought a new wine this time that was even better than those two wines.
Li Yuan immediately had someone bring up four bottles of the latest [Worry-Free Brew] made with sorghum.
The porcelain bottles used this time were even more exquisite.
Left Guard Zhang Kui was more impatient. He picked up a bottle and directly broke the clay seal on the bottle mouth.
The moment the bottle was opened, the compartment was immediately filled with the aroma of wine.
The taste of this wine was indeed more mellow and intense than the [Hundred Flower Nectar] and [Qingyuan Brew] that had been in the limelight a few days ago.
Zhang Kui sniffed hard, and an alluring aroma of wine rushed straight into his nostrils.
The Left Guard instantly showed a surprised expression on his face.
“Good wine, it is indeed good wine.”
The county magistrate's secretary Yang Yue also carefully opened the wine bottle and carefully poured the wine into a bowl.
The aroma of wine in the room became even stronger.
He picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and instantly the aroma of wine filled his taste buds.
The middle-aged scholar, who was usually unsmiling, unconsciously showed a surprised smile.
Old Qin and Ninth Sister looked at each other, wondering if this wine was really so delicious?
It could actually make the two superiors so失态.
The two also filled the wine bowls and picked them up to taste each other.
Old Qin only tasted one sip, and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face.
Ninth Sister, who took a sip, also showed a surprised expression in an instant, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face.
These four were all gourmets of wine, and they had seen countless fine wines.
But the Worry-Free Brew in their hands at this time was definitely the best-tasting wine they had ever tasted in their lives.
