Chapter 106
"Son... Mr. Cheng, do you have any advice?"
When the old butler on the stage saw that it was Cheng Mubai who was speaking, he couldn't help but feel a "sudden moment" in his heart.
Because when Cheng Mubai and the others came to sign up just now, he could feel something strange. If their young master hadn't given him instructions at that time, he wouldn't have known how to deal with it! But now it seems,
He really had bad intentions, otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped out at this time!
"No. I would like to ask, from your Qin family's perspective, how strong is this wine?"
Cheng Mubai took a step forward and asked with some confusion.
"How strong is this wine?"
The old butler of the Qin Mansion was stunned when Cheng Mubai asked him, "How strong is this wine?"
Isn't this an obvious thing? Even if it is not the first in the world, it is at least the second in the world, right? Otherwise, how could it have "fascinated" all the previous batch of contestants?
However, he really couldn't figure out what Cheng Mubai was thinking about in this matter, so he turned his attention to Qin Yong, hoping that Qin Yong would also make up his mind like before, but at this time
Qin Yong frowned, as if he had found nothing, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Haha! Mr. Cheng is joking! The name of this wine is 'Dajiao Wine', the intensity is
Naturally, it is much better than 'Xiaojiao Liquor'! In this Yangzhou, it is considered unique, right?... Well, maybe in the entire Zhou Dynasty, it is not inferior to any other.
Those who grow water and wine!”
When Cheng Mubai heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "Oh? Really? That means this wine can be regarded as one of the best wines in the world.
Bar?"
"Well! You can also say that!"
The old housekeeper of the Qin Mansion still had no reaction when he saw Qin Yong not far away, so after hesitating for a moment, he quickly spoke.
In fact, this is also his inevitable choice. After all, there are so many spectators in the audience! And now is the time to make their "big cellar wine" famous. Therefore, after Cheng Mubai asked such a question,
Come on, can he still deny that the "big cellar wine" he calls his is actually not one of the best wines in the world? Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Okay. Very good! This is the best wine in the world, but you want us to drink three bowls without pouring it! And the registration fee is still as high as ten taels. Therefore, I have to doubt that you
The Qin family is taking this opportunity to make money!" Cheng Mubai finally said what he had planned for a long time, but the result was that everyone who heard his words were dumbfounded!
What? What is he talking about? The Qin family is taking this opportunity to make money?
Yes, the registration fee is indeed not low. Everyone needs ten taels of silver. For an ordinary family, this is several months of living expenses! But no matter how much these ten taels of silver are, signing up for this event
The number of people attending this "wine tasting party" was only over a hundred, and all the registration fees added together were only a mere thousand taels of silver!
This value is not as good as one-thirtieth of the value of the three thousand taels of gold that the Qin family took out! Just such a small amount of money? Does the Qin family still need to take the opportunity to collect it? Isn't this a joke? However, most of the people present
No one knew Cheng Mubai's purpose at all, so they all looked at each other at this time and didn't speak for a while.
"Haha! What Mr. Cheng said is reasonable!" At this time, Qin Yong finally came to his senses, so he couldn't help but sneer and continued, "Hey. After Mr. Cheng's analysis, I also feel that our Qin
The family is indeed suspected of amassing money! Well, the total registration fee is more than a thousand taels! It is indeed a lot! Well, I wonder what Mr. Cheng thinks our Qin family should do, then
You don’t have any suspicion of amassing money? I hope that I will be a master who will not hesitate to teach you!..."
"Ha ha......"
Hearing Qin Yong's "deep meaning" words, the audience all reacted and burst into laughter!
This is really interesting! Cheng Mubai would mention that the Qin family was suspected of amassing money, which was enough to make them extremely surprised. However, they did not expect that the eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Yong, was not only
Instead of refuting it, he agreed with what he said. However, everyone could hear what Qin Yong meant, that is, he said it in an ironic way, so many people present laughed.
stand up.
In fact, the registration fee of one thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot! However, it depends on who it is for. For a wealthy family like the Qin family, it is simply a drop in the bucket! Therefore, when the Qin family
When Yong said, "This thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot," everyone present smiled!
"At least... at least, the amount of this reward must be greatly increased!"
When Cheng Mubai heard everyone's ridicule, he felt a little sad on his face, but he couldn't care so much anymore, because the development of things now was far beyond his imagination, so he could do it in such a short period of time.
It is already quite difficult for him to come up with such a "provoking method"! As for whether he will become a laughing stock afterwards, he can't care so much! Anyway, as long as he achieves his goal today
, then he has already earned it!
It turned out that Cheng Mubai's original plan was to use the medicine of his second uncle Cheng Yuanxu to greatly increase the drinking capacity of the talented people who came with him. Then, at the "wine tasting party", they would at least
Get a reward of twenty or thirty, which means up to two to three thousand taels of gold! By then, the Qin family will definitely be heartbroken and may not even be able to afford the compensation!
At this time, Cheng Mubai can propose an exchange condition to Qin Yong. The exchange condition is to immediately terminate the engagement with Liu Luoyao. As long as Qin Yong can do this, they can ask for half of it.
The above reward is offered!
And this method has already been approved by other talented people! Because after all, they did not have the chance to win the rewards by relying on their own strength, but relying on the medicine that Cheng Yuan claimed to be a miracle doctor. And afterwards they
There was still some money to be had, and even the registration fee was paid by Cheng Mubai, so naturally they had no objections!
Anyway, if Liu Luoyao could be rescued from the hands of Qin Yong, a playboy, wouldn't it be a good story?
That's right, although Qin Yong's reputation in Yangzhou City is no less than any of them, in their hearts, they still regard him as an ignorant and ignorant playboy! "Who?
Did the Qin family buy his poems, pairs, etc. with money?" This is the inner thought of many talented people in Yangzhou City. Although they will not say it openly, they will do so secretly.
The possibility is really too high.
"Increase the reward? Yes! I wonder how high Mr. Cheng thinks it should be?"
Qin Yong was still neither happy nor angry, and asked Cheng Mubai.
"Just...just the gold that your Qin family brought out."
Cheng Mubai gritted his teeth and pointed at the shining golden mountain in the center of the ring.
"Wow, that's three thousand taels of gold! He can really scream!"
"That's right, that's right! It's just a registration fee of ten taels, and he wants someone to offer a reward of three thousand taels of gold? This... this is simply crazy!"
"That's right, that's right! Hey, I've always heard that the talented scholar Cheng Mubaicheng of the Qiu Shan Poetry Society is the number one figure, and he is also vaguely known as the number one talented scholar in our Yangzhou City. But I didn't expect that he would be so shameless.
Someone who knows how to advance and retreat!”
"Yes, yes! It's so disappointing!"
...
After Cheng Mubai finished speaking, Qin Yong had no reaction, but the audience below was already "exploding".
Naturally, the attitude was one-sided, thinking that Cheng Mubai didn't know how to advance or retreat, so he was asking for too much. As for Cheng Mubai, he felt helpless at this time, because his current plan had gone seriously wrong.
.
The so-called "big cellar wine" that the Qin family got from who knows where, it was as strong as a wine, so Cheng Mubai had no confidence in the talented people who came with him!
In his opinion, he might be the only one who could barely survive by then. Therefore, in order to continue his plan to exchange the bounty for Liu Luoyao, he could only propose to let Qin Yong
Increase the bounty to three thousand taels of gold, because only when it reaches this level will the Qin family feel pain and finally compromise!
Otherwise, if it is only a hundred taels or even a few hundred taels of gold, then the Qin family may not take it seriously! Naturally, it is even less likely to give away such a delicate beauty like Liu Luoyao.
!
And if it were as much as two or three thousand taels of gold, Cheng Mubai believed that everything would be different. Because this is almost all the Qin family's working capital! After all, no matter how big the Qin family's family fortune is, it cannot exceed the entire Qin family's.
Yangzhou City's tax revenue for a whole year, and how much was the tax revenue of Yangzhou City last year? That was only 10,000 taels of gold. But now, 3,000 taels of gold is probably all the Qin family's available funds! So
, once these activity funds are lost, almost all the Qin family's industries will be implicated. The consequences of this are really not ordinary!
