Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit too much, Manager Xue, who was standing behind the crowd, stood up and pulled aside those aggrieved people who had not been given the wine.
He apologized and told them that someone would send another one right away, thus calming down the incident.
Of course, when I heard that there was still wine, someone immediately took advantage of the troubled waters and quietly came over.
"Hey, Ma Laoliu! You were the first to get the wine, and you also snatched the wine from shopkeeper Sun. Why did you come here too?"
A businessman wearing a foreign official's hat spotted a shameless man and scolded him with a look of disgust on his face.
The man was discovered, but he didn't feel any embarrassment. Instead, he glared and said confidently: "What? Who is Ma Laoliu? I am Ma Laowu! That man just now was my half-brother! You were the one who was dazzled.
"
"..."
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. You can say such stupid things. Are you not afraid of being beaten with a stick by your father when you go home?
Among the crowd, an older man couldn't stand it and spat: "Bah! Why don't you call me Donkey Fourth instead of Ma Laowu?"
The man was very polite to the old man. He cupped his hands to him with a playful smile and said, "Hey, old man, if you give me your share, even if you call me Mule Laosan, I will admit it!"
Without morals, anything is possible!
After hearing that the strong man not only changed his name, but also his surname! The others immediately lost interest in teasing him any more.
They are all dead pigs. What's the point of pouring more boiling water on them?
Of course, Manager Xue also saw Ma Laoliu, but it was just a glass of wine. He would never be able to catch this idiot. Quan pretended to be invisible at this time.
Mixing in among these people, Ma Laoliu's long face turned red even more as he enjoyed another glass of wine!
Seeing that no one was paying attention around him, he moved little by little to Manager Xue and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Lao Xue, are you selling these wines too?"
When Manager Xue heard this, his eyelids jumped at first, but then drooped again.
"Haha, this wine is not for sale." Manager Xue said casually.
"Ah? Not for sale? Then why take it out? Aren't you greedy?" When Ma Laoliu heard what Manager Xue said, his face fell instantly! He muttered, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Xue behind him.
The steward continued.
"These wines are not for sale, but the newly brewed wines are for sale, and..."
"And what?"
Ma Laoliu, who had turned around just now, turned around like lightning, almost startling Manager Xue.
After taking a careful look at him to make sure that Ma Laoliu's long face was still hanging around his neck and had not been thrown away, Manager Xue patted his chest and whispered: "And all newly brewed wine will only be sold to one family!"
"What? Only sell it to one family?" Ma Laoliu became anxious when he heard this. He grabbed Manager Xue's arm and said, "Can't we just sell some in bulk? Ten jars, five jars, or one jar will do!"
"Um?"
Manager Xue finally pulled out his arm, frowned and looked at Ma Laoliu and said: "Shopkeeper Ma, you are a famous footwear man in Yangzhou. You should know the sales of this wine, right? Don't you want to win this wine?"
Agency right, from now on, I will be the only one doing this business?"
As soon as he heard this, Ma Laoliu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He glanced at the shopkeeper of the cloth shop in the distance involuntarily, and said with a haha: "Haha... Well, as the saying goes, every other line is like a mountain. I
It’s just good wine. I’ve never done this business of selling wine, so I probably won’t be able to do it well. Alas… what a pity!”
Manager Xue half-squinted his eyes and suddenly asked, "Oh? Is it not done well, or is someone not allowed to do it?"
"this……"
Ma Laoliu's face turned redder! After hesitating for a long time, he finally held his stomach and shouted: "Oh, no! I ate something bad tonight and my stomach hurts. Shopkeeper Xue, I need to go to the toilet first!"
After that, the tall and powerful Ma Laoliu disappeared with a whoosh, leaving Manager Xue standing there with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.
"Haha, Xiao He, did you see that? In our territory, even if we let him turn it over hard, he wouldn't get any splashes!"
In the corner, the young man who came with the shopkeeper of the cloth shop looked at this scene, his heart was filled with joy, and he spoke to Xiao He with a proud face.
Most of Xiao He's face was covered by a veil, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He just nodded casually when he heard the words, and he didn't know whether he agreed or was perfunctory.
"Ding……"
Soon, another golden bell rang.
The scene that had just become a little noisy due to the sharing of drinks gradually calmed down, and everyone's eyes once again turned to Zi Yi in the center of the stage.
At this time, Ziyi was holding a slightly larger wine cup in his hand.
The wine, which was as transparent as water, swayed slightly in it, making many people in the audience have their throats twitching.
"Everyone has tasted the Xiao family's wine just now. How do you feel?" Ziyi gently raised the wine glass and asked the audience with a smile.
"good!"
"The taste is nothing to say, even this amount is too little..."
"It's strong enough, it's strong enough, much stronger than Beard's Sanlejing!"
There was a noisy response from the bottom of the stage. Although it was a bit chaotic, it was undoubtedly much better than the eerie silence when other things were introduced before!
Seeing that the situation was opening up little by little, Ziyi let out a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded to everyone who was speaking in the audience.
When the responses died down, she continued: "On the one hand, I would like to ask you to taste the wine today and give me some advice. On the other hand, I want to tell you some good news! Our Xiao family has decided to build a new winery in Yangzhou. With this
We have good mountains and good water to make the best wine!”
"No! There's a trap here!"
Under the stage, Manager Xue finally came to his senses. When he heard Zi Yi's words, he was shocked! Just as he was about to step forward to remind him, there was suddenly a person in front of him, it was the shopkeeper of the cloth shop.
"Haha, what happened to Manager Xue?" Shopkeeper of Buhang stood in front of Manager Xue and asked with a smile.
Manager Xue frowned and cupped his hands anxiously: "Well, I have something urgent, so I'm sorry that I can't accompany you..."
The shopkeeper of Buhang heard this, but he had no intention of getting out of the way. Instead, he took Manager Xue's arm and walked towards the corner of the hall like a pair of close friends: "No hurry, no hurry! I have a few questions here.
, I just wanted to discuss it with Manager Xue."
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yin, but there's something urgent going on outside!" Manager Xue tried to break free, but he didn't expect that the seemingly old and frail Shopkeeper was as motionless as a strong pine tree.
Knowing that the other party was prepared, Manager Xue immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead! His mind suddenly turned and he was thinking about how to tell Zi Yi not to continue.
Over there, Ziyi had already entered into the bidding process as planned.
"This winery is expected to produce thousands of buckets of wine a year! The Xiao family is short of manpower, so they can only focus on the winery! If you are interested in selling this area, you can bid, and the one with the highest price will get it."
(A dou of wine was about four kilograms in the Tang Dynasty, and a bouquet of dendrobium was worth ten dou.
As for the price of Tang Dynasty wine.
Li Bai once said: There are ten thousand gold bottles of fine wine. Wang Wei also wrote: Xinfeng’s fine wine is worth ten thousand.
But these two are romantic poets, so there may be some exaggeration in them. In comparison, Du Fu is much more.
"If you come early and drink a cup of wine, you will have three hundred bronze coins."
Du Fu wrote that three hundred yuan for a dou of wine is exactly the same as what was recorded in the Tang Dynasty's "Shi Huo Zhi": "In the third year of Emperor Jianzhong's reign, the price of wine was three thousand yuan per dou. Of course, this three hundred yuan of wine should be
The most common ones, such as Sanle pulp imported from Persia, Malang wine imported from Dashi, etc., the price should be far higher than that.)
