When people drink alcohol, how many of them like the spiciness in the mouth? They all like the aftertaste after the spiciness. The feeling of a mouth-full of fragrance and endless aftertaste is the secret to attracting people who drink well.

In the past thousands of years, the taste of wine was close to that of "sweet water". How could it be as direct as this kind of strong liquor? It was like a silver needle piercing the taste buds. There was a slight sting at first, and then the purest refreshing and aftertaste.

Mrs. Liu is a businessman, and her words and deeds cannot escape the businessman's pattern. After tasting it, she couldn't help but feel slightly moved when she looked at the unattractive wine flask in front of her.

"Mr. Xia, where did you get this?"

"Xia made slight improvements on the basis of Xiajia Liquor and created the Wuliangye in front of him. It takes the essence of five grains and symbolizes the good expectation of a good harvest."

Mrs. Liu always thought that this was a rare thing introduced from other regions, but she never thought that it was brewed by Xia Shang himself. She was shocked and said: "Mr. Xia, is this really brewed by you yourself?"

Xia Shang nodded and poured another glass for Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu looked at the wine bottle with a serious expression, and a few hair strands were shaking gently in the wind.

"This product is a hundred times more delicious than the previous Xia family wine! Master Xia has brewed this product, and the prosperity of the Xia family will be just around the corner! But I don't know why Mr. Xia is here today..."

"To be honest, Xia asked around and heard that Liuzhuang's tea is shipped to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. Xia just wanted to see if it was possible to use Liuzhuang's trade route to send Wuliangye to Hangzhou? Admittedly, Xia would not let it.

Mrs. Liu’s efforts were in vain, and I will give Mrs. Liu a 10% profit.”

"One percent profit?"

Xia Shang was afraid that Mrs. Liu would think it was too little, so he hurriedly explained: "Madam, this profit is already a lot. According to my estimation, within three months, Madam will be able to earn an additional two thousand taels per month, and there will be more in the future."

many."

Mrs. Liu shook her head and chuckled: "Mr. Xia, in business, the opening of Liuzhuang Business Road has gone through all kinds of hardships, and I know the hardships best. Don't talk about the 10% profit Mr. Xia said, even giving 50% profit is very difficult.

It’s hard to tempt a woman.”

Xia Shang knew that it was too early to talk about this matter, and he had not yet made sufficient preparations, nor did he have the capital to negotiate with Liuzhuang. He told Mrs. Liu just to see if the other party remembered what he had said before regarding him as the benefactor of the Red Flower Club.

It was convenient, but now it seems that I was a bit naive.

"That's all." Xia Shang sighed softly, stood up and handed over his hands, "In that case, Xia is sorry for bothering me, and this bottle of Wuliangye will be used as a gift for meeting me. I hope we can cooperate again in the future."

Xia Shang was about to leave, but Madam Liu stood up, raised her lotus arms and stood in front of Xia Shang: "Master Xia, stay here."

"kindness?"

"Today's matter is not because the women of the country are unwilling to help each other, but it is actually because we and you have lost contact... If the young master can join the Red Flower Club, and you and I come from the same family, it will be natural for Liuzhuang's business to be convenient for the Xia family."

Red Flower Club...

The other party mentioned it once before after being rescued by Madam Liu. At first, she said yes casually, but Xia Shang politely rejected it. Today, the other party mentioned it again and lured her with benefits. This was definitely not said casually.

Mrs. Liu was also very personable. She could see the doubts in Xia Shang's mind at a glance. She stood up and walked to Xia Shang. While leading the way, she said in detail: "Mr.

It only took two or three months to recover, and it was all thanks to Mr. Xia. It can be seen that Mr. Xia is extremely intelligent. How could the Red Flower Club not recruit someone like Mr. Xia?"

While they were talking, the two of them had already left the path in the middle of the lake and returned to the willow forest.

Mrs. Liu is still calm, only slightly flirtatious, and her words are like the breeze passing through the willow branches, soft and gentle, making people feel comfortable listening.

"Benevolence and righteousness are our top priority in our Honghua Society. The young master's act of exchanging ten thousand gold for his wife and returning home is exactly the benevolence and righteousness that our Honghua Society admires. Mr. Xia's nature is in line with our teachings..."

"Xia is just a commoner. He doesn't know the benevolence, justice and morality, and he doesn't want to be disciplined. He likes to wander. Mrs. Liu's kindness is appreciated by Xia."

Seeing Xia Shang's determination, Mrs. Liu flashed a hint of disappointment and sighed softly without going into details.

…

At this time, the same story as that on the West Lake in Yangzhou seemed to be happening in the most crowded markets in all counties in Yangzhou. Jars after jars of fine wine fell to the ground, and the strong aroma of wine floated into thousands of households. There was no publicity.

Nothing can be more effective than a direct taste impact.

For a time, the same words were spread throughout Yangzhou.

What kind of wine is this?

Where does this come from?

These broken wine jars seemed to be bombs thrown into Yangzhou, and "Wuliangye" and "Five Grain Essence" quickly became the main theme of public opinion.

Perhaps because Yangzhou had been quiet for too long, the news of Wuliangye spread throughout the streets and alleys in just half a day, and there was already a long queue in front of the Wuliangjing store.

But the price of Wuliangye is so shocking!

Twenty taels of silver and one tael of wine!

That’s one tael of gold and one tael of wine!

According to the exchange rate of gold and silver, one tael of wine should be more expensive than one tael of gold.

The people are still arguing about the price, but the wealthy people have brought the wine home.

At night, when everything is calm and peaceful in Yangzhou City and the people are sleeping peacefully...

"This wine is excellent. I will serve it to my father on his birthday this year. It will definitely make him happy."

On the bed with red silk curtains, King Yong, who was wearing a brocade nightgown, stared at the wine bottle on the table in the middle of the bed and couldn't put it down. Looking at it, he couldn't help but pour a glass and take a sip.

I don't know how much he drank, but I could see that his face was red, his ears were red, his eyes were sweating, and he was swaying in a dazed manner.

Sitting opposite him was Princess Nangong Chu, who was also wearing a brocade shawl gown, gently covering her graceful body. She was looking at the wine on the table thoughtfully.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I saw the prince drinking one cup after another without stopping him.

It wasn't until the pot of wine in front of him could no longer pour a drop that King Yong put down the wine glass, moved the table to the bedside, and sighed: "Time is always there, and good wine is hard to come by. Madam, take a rest quickly."

After saying that, he rushed towards the beautiful wife in front of him, smelling of alcohol.

Nangong Chu frowned, opened the drunk man's hand, straightened his clothes and got out of the bed.

"Thank you for being able to say it! Time is like an arrow, time flies, and time is precious and never comes back! Look at you like this. You have been in Yangzhou for several months and have accomplished nothing. Now that you have such a precious wine in front of you, you only care about drinking it.

, but I didn’t expect the huge benefits hidden behind it!”

"Husband...Madam, come...come and have a rest."

Nangong Chu tossed his sleeves: "Go to bed and go to bed. I'll go outside to get some fresh air."

…

In a dark room somewhere, there was only one flickering light.

"The remnants of the Xia family are not dead! What kind of Wuliangye did they create! Mr. Chai, how do you explain to me now?"

In front of him is a middle-aged man in casual clothes, about forty years old. He is dressed in silk and satin, with gold trimmings. He has a jade ring on his hand, a brocade belt around his waist, and a square hat with a green emerald. He looks wealthy, but he is short of money.

He had a hooked nose and a crooked mouth.

Magistrate Chai County was also dressed in casual clothes. Although he had no gold or silver, he was clean and well behaved.

After hearing the question, Magistrate Chai cupped his hands and said, "Sir, let's take a look at this thing."

After saying that, Magistrate Chai took out a small brocade box and put it on the table. When he opened it again, the expression of the person in front of him changed greatly.
