The name of the wine shop comes from a Persian woman from Danglan. In fact, the correct pronunciation of her name should be Fresha.
"In our Persian language, it means angel."
Foresta does have the face of an angel, and under her unrestrained and passionate silk robe, she also has a devil-like figure.
Compared to Gaia Winery, Forresta Winery is bigger. There are fifty people in this winery, including ten bartenders selling wine at the front desk, and a twenty-member band that performs its own performances.
There are musicians, singers and dancers. They are very famous in the West Market. They not only perform at Forresta Winery, but also often perform at other wineries.
"Anlang has informed us that from now on, our wine shop and all of us will belong to Marquis Wu."
"Aren't you free?" Huaiyu sat on the second floor of the wine shop. This wine shop can be ranked among the top three Hu people's wine shops in the West City. It is equivalent to the Song Qing Medicine Shop or the A's Medicine Shop in the East City.
Rongshi Pharmacy, Kangalu Shan Pharmacy.
Foresta was estimated to be less than thirty. She poured a glass of Sanle syrup for Huaiyu and leaned against Huaiyu's body like a snake.
"Many of the orchids in the Hu Si in Chang'an's West City are not free. Most of the orchids are slaves trafficked from the Western Regions.
I am also a slave. It is said that I was born in Persia, but as far back as I can remember, I have been a slave in Tochara. I was later sold to the city of Samadha in the Kingdom of Kang, and later to the Tuozhe City in the Kingdom of Shi.
,
Then, I went to Shule, Qiuci, Gaochang, and then came to Chang'an via Hexi. I can't even remember how many masters I had. I learned to dance since I was a child. I danced better and better, and my net worth was just
Higher and higher·····"
"Now that I'm older, I'm here to manage this restaurant and teach that band."
This entire wine shop, including the fifty people in this wine shop, regardless of gender, are all the property of the An family. Now An Yuanshouquan has been given to Huaiyu.
Huaiyu did not reject this woman's charming move.
He seemed to be seduced by Hu Ji, and his hands moved involuntarily, and Hu Ji would smile shyly from time to time.
"How much money can you make here in a year?"
"a lot of."
Hu Ji whispered in his ear, breathing seductively, and then kissed his earlobe.
"It's really unexpected that Anlang would give such a big piece of Hu Si to Marquis Wu."
"How much is a lot?"
Foresta snuggled into his arms, "I heard that Gaia is the property of Marquis Wu, and we, Fresta, are worth ten Gaias."
That's really profitable.
But Huaiyu was more concerned about whether this wine shop and this woman were from the Six Doors.
Irina, however, made Huaiyu very sad, and the boat of friendship with An Yuanshou almost capsized.
He asked cryptically, but this woman really didn't seem to be from the Six Doors.
"Don't you have a husband and children?"
"Which husband of mine are you talking about? I have had many husbands."
"oh?"
"Although I have never married, who would let a humble but beautiful slave girl like me off easily when she was young?" She laughed at first, but then fell silent.
Huaiyu said he understood.
"Do you have any children?"
"I have given birth, but the children of slaves are also the property of the master. I have given birth to several children, but they were all taken away when they were less than one year old. I have never seen them again. Despicable slaves, like cattle and horses, are born
The cub doesn’t need to be fed anymore. When it grows older, it will be sold.”
When this woman talked about such a tragic thing, she seemed no longer sad. Her tears had long since dried up when her children were taken away again and again.
I'm used to it, and I'm numb.
"Do you want to be free? You are still young. If you are free, have you ever thought about finding a man to get married and then have children?"
"Hahaha," she laughed, her branches trembling with laughter, and she lay on Huaiyu's body and kept shaking, as if she had heard the funniest joke.
"I'm almost thirty, I'm getting old." She sighed.
He soon put on a smile again and continued to challenge him dishonestly, "How is Wu Hou going to run this place? Keep everything as usual, or should he let someone familiar take charge, or let Gaia come?"
"Are you familiar?"
"I'm not close to each other, but we both worked for the An family in the past. We met when we were in Liangzhou, Hexi, and we opened a wine shop together in Chang'an. That woman is also quite powerful. She was favored by An Sabao before, and she is luckier than me.
At least I am still free, I even have my husband and children reunited with my family, and I can even marry my daughter to a nobleman from Chang'an..."
Huaiyu asked her to show him the account books here.
I asked while looking at the account books. From these simple records, I can find many details. This wine shop is indeed very profitable, and it is worthy of being one of the top three restaurants in the West City.
This woman is well-rounded and very capable.
For the time being, it was not possible to tell whether there was anyone from Liumenmen in this wine shop, so Huaiyu simply closed the account book and stopped looking.
"From now on, you will still be the shopkeeper of this wine shop, and the business here will continue as usual. However, I ask you to withdraw 20% of your monthly profit and send it to the Shouyang Hou Mansion in Yongxingfang. The rest will continue as usual."
"Does Marquis Wu trust this slave so much?"
Huaiyu smiled and raised her smooth chin, "You are all mine now,"
"The management is still yours, but I will send two more people over, one to take care of the accounts and one to take care of the money. From now on, all expenses of this wine shop will be accounted for,"
"I understand." Forresta smiled charmingly at her. Her face couldn't tell that she was almost thirty years old. She had a high nose and deep eyes. She had black hair and light amber eyes, as if she was wearing contact lenses.
"How about I ask the slave to call the orchestra to come over and dance, play, sing and perform a song for Marquis Wu?"
"OK."
Huaiyu tasted Sanlejiang, held the beauty in his arms, and watched the performance of the orchids. It was much better than the martial arts orchestra, more enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the waist was softer.
After watching the song, Huaiyu got a little angry because the woman in his arms was always dishonest.
This is a woman who understands men and is very sophisticated.
But the Wu Huaiyu of today is no longer the Wu Huaiyu who first came here.
Battle-hardened for a long time.
Even his ideas are becoming more and more like that of a Tang Dynasty aristocrat.
Waving his hands, the band exited after the performance.
There were only two people left in the room.
One is as charming as silk, the other is burning with desire.
With a look from Huaiyu, Foresta immediately became more charming and bold after receiving permission.
The happiness of nobles is indeed something that ordinary people cannot experience.
After a disagreement, the Persian cat climbed up on its own.
Move yourself.
An hour later, Wu Huaiyu walked out of Forresta Restaurant feeling refreshed. The beautiful female host still leaned against the door reluctantly, looking at her with eyes.
Wu Huaiyu did not give this woman freedom, and did not even intend to give her the status of a concubine.
She still stays here to manage this famous wine shop, and will often come here when Wu Huaiyu is in Beijing.
Huaiyu smiled and got on the carriage.
"You came out an hour later than I expected,"
There was also a beautiful and elegant woman in the carriage, and there was even tea brewing in the carriage.
"Gao Niangzi?"
"Accident?"
Huaiyu was a little surprised. Gao Huitong was now the fake mother of Nanqu Tingyulou in Pingkangfang. Why did she appear on Husi Street in the West City?
"The Banuhu Restaurant in front of you is the second largest wine restaurant in the West City. It is bigger than the Forresta you just got. It is under my name."
The aunt poured Huaiyu a cup of tea.
"I heard that Erlang doesn't like to add too many ingredients when drinking tea. I specially didn't add anything to this pot of tea."
Huaiyu looked at the cup of tea and then at his sister-in-law who was wearing a dark fence on her head. She was really confused.
"Did Erlang forget my nickname, Nine-tailed Fox?"
Huaiyu originally thought that the codename Nine-tailed Fox was because of her good looks, but now it seems that it may have another meaning, that is, she has many identities.
Now Huaiyu knows her three identities. The deceased swordsman in Li Shimin's palace may even be the biological mother of the eleventh princess.
Gao Da Niang, the fake mother of Tingyulou, a famous brothel in Nanqu, Pingkangfang.
Now she is the female proprietor of Banu Winery, the second largest Hu wine shop in the West Market.
"I really didn't expect that." Huaiyu said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Erlang is also a romantic young man with a true temperament, but Foresta is indeed very charming. No young man can escape her charm. Even Erlang came out so late, which surprised me
.”
Huaiyu laughed, "You are young and in good health. I recommend Gao Niangzi's set of exercises, Baduanjin, which is very suitable for women to practice."
"Thank you." Mrs. Gao smiled softly, "Foresta is a very powerful woman, but I can be sure that she is not a hidden target of Bifang's men, but there are at least three of Bifang's people in that Husi, you want
Be careful."
Huaiyu said indifferently, "There are a lot of eyeliners in my Shouyang Hou Mansion, how can I care how many there are in this wine shop?"
"What is the background of your Banu Winery, that it is the second Hu Winery in the West City?"
The sister-in-law took a sip of tea and said, "This tea soup without adding anything turns out to be quite good. Banu Winery, do you know what Banu means in Persian?"
Huaiyu shook his head.
"In Persian, Banu means lady, and can also be translated as noblewoman."
Huaiyu said "oh" and understood instantly.
Sure enough, one of the biggest features of Banu Winery is that the orchids in their winery are extraordinary. They are all ladies and ladies. Anyway, they are all so-called Persian noblewomen. They are either the wives of Azhadan knights or the daughters of generals, and even
There are governor's daughters, prince's daughters, etc.
Regardless of whether these noble ladies are real or fake, their behavior is indeed very different from that of ordinary Hu Ji in Hu Si. Under deliberate packaging and marketing, Banu Hu Si's business is booming, and many Chang'an aristocrats want to
Go there to see the excitement, and even try something new, and feel the difference between noble ladies and ladies in the Persian Sasanian Empire.
This is like the fact that after the aristocratic officials under the imperial court committed crimes, their female relatives were visited by many people after they entered the Jiaofang Department. Although they may not be particularly beautiful, their former identities were very attractive.
There are indeed some former Persian aristocratic women in the Banu Wine Shop. Of course, it is impossible to have so many daughters of provincial governors, generals’ wives and so on. Even ordinary noble women of the Bazadan knight class are not so easy to get.
There are indeed some Persian noble women who came to Chang'an.
There are many more that are copycat.
But this set is very popular in Chang'an.
Once a noble lady falls down, everyone wants to experience the feeling of conquest.
"Mrs. Gao is waiting for me here. She doesn't want to take me to conquer a few Persian ladies, right? I just conquered a Persian beauty, and now I am unable to do what I want." Huaiyu said with a smile.
"I just happened to come to Banu Wine Shop and saw your carriage parked here, so I will wait for you here and have a few words. If you also want to conquer ladies and gentlemen, you can come over at any time and I will give you a ring.
, you can tell Mrs. Gongsun’s name to you for free when you arrive. In Banu Winery, in addition to Persian ladies, there are also ladies from the Western Regions, even from the Fulin Empire, and from the Frankish Kingdom..."
Huaiyu laughed and passed.
Gao Huitong actually took out a ring and gave it to him.
"Can this ring be used in Tingyulou?"
"Can."
"Princess Eleven is your daughter?"
"Her mother is Empress Changsun." Gao Huitong said after being silent for a while.
After a long time, she took out a box and gave it to Huaiyu, "There is a longevity lock in it, a pair of silver bracelets, and some gold and silver Tongbao money. These are what I gave to An Niang's child."
"It's still early for the baby to be born."
"You hand it over to An Niang for me. Just tell her that I, the eldest sister, can't help her. From now on, she can rest assured to stay in the Wu family to raise her husband and raise her children."
Gao's words were actually said to Huaiyu, indicating that she would not use Gao Hui'an as her spy in the future. This was also to let her sister live a better life in the Wu family, and she was even asking for a personal favor from Wu Huaiyu.
