"I don't think it's good." Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "We should choose a wine that people will know what it is for at a glance. This kind of wine prolongs life, so why not call it longevity wine."
Fourth Uncle Tang said: "It's better to call it Fushou Bar! May you be blessed with longevity!"
Everyone thought about it and agreed that this longevity wine is the most appropriate. What are you afraid of? It’s auspicious!
Tang Shiyue said: "Because the recipe used is different every time, we can give it a big name and then a nickname. For example, the main function of this Shaguo wine is to nourish the kidneys and heart, strengthen the vitality and replenish the qi.
It can be called Fushou Guyuan wine, or Fushou Qi-tonifying wine. Then we will brew bayberry wine. Its main functions are to produce fluids and relieve coughs, digest food and relieve summer heat. We can call it Fushou Jieshu wine. It is most suitable to drink in the dog days of summer.
"
Everyone also nodded.
Fourth Uncle Tang asked, "How much silver will it cost?"
In fact, the wine in the small wine shop is very cheap, and the profit is really small. A pound of Shaochun only costs 500 Wen. After the business was not good, it sold for 300 Wen. Later, when it was sold as turbid wine, it even sold for 200 Wen. That way
It's a loss.
Fourth Uncle Tang asked: "How about we buy one tael of silver per catty?" After he finished speaking, he felt that he was not confident enough: "Is it enough for 800 coins?"
Tang Shiyue turned his head and thought for a while.
Li Bai said in his poem, "A gold goblet of wine costs ten thousand, and a jade plate of delicious delicacies costs ten thousand qian." A dou of wine is worth about four catties, and ten thousand qian is equal to ten taels. So how much does his one jin of wine cost more than 2 taels of silver?
She said directly: "One catty of wine costs ten taels of silver. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be. For example, if we have two-jin jars, we can sell them for nineteen taels. If we get some ten-jin jars, we can sell them for more than ninety taels or more."
Sell in bulk and get 10% profit."
In fact, the alcohol content of today's wine is not high, and many people are used to selling wine in quantities of ten pounds or ten pounds, so 10% off is a great discount.
Fourth Uncle Tang's eyes widened in surprise: "Isn't this too expensive?"
"It's not expensive," Qi Jing said: "Things are rare but expensive. The Bitao wine in Liuxiangfang in town can be sold for five or two or three dollars. Ours tastes better than it and the cost is higher. We will use other expensive wines later.
Medicinal materials and fruits should also be taken into consideration.”
Fourth Uncle Tang still felt it was unreliable: "But this is a big wine shop!"
"So what?" Tang Shiyue said with a smile: "We will be bigger than him in the future."
Seeing that she was calm and composed, and Qi Jing was also calm and composed, Fourth Uncle Tang couldn't help but feel a little ambitious: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Early the next morning, several people arrived at the small wine shop. Fourth Uncle Tang also asked someone to calculate the auspicious hour. When the hour came, he worshiped Du Kang, the God of Wine, and then Fourth Uncle Tang washed his hands and stepped forward to open the wine seal.
As soon as the seal of the wine was opened, a strong sweet aroma was smelled. Just smelling this aroma, Fourth Uncle Tang was overjoyed. Then he couldn't wait to scoop up a ladle, poured it into four wine bowls, and then held it with both hands.
Got up.
Tang Shiyue didn't take it seriously at first, but seeing how solemn their expressions and movements were, she couldn't help but feel a little solemn, and put the wine bowl to her mouth with both hands.
A warm finger suddenly came over and touched her lips. Tang Shiyue tilted her head and saw Qi Jing holding the wine bowl in one hand and reaching out with the other to grab her wine bowl. His movements were unmistakable.
.
Tang Shiyue felt naughty for a moment, so she licked his finger gently.
The prayer movement froze.
The wine bowl he had just received slipped from his hand. He quickly reached out and caught the wine bowl in his hand.
This action makes her really handsome.
Especially his hand was right in front of her, and she saw his movements clearly. The boy's fingers were long and slender, and when he turned his wrist slightly, he felt particularly strong and graceful, especially suave and flirty.
The next moment, he poured the wine in the bowl into his own bowl and threw the bowl back into her hand. His action was somewhat... out of breath.
It's really cute for a child to be so carefree.
Fourth Uncle Tang and Madam Zhou were completely unaware of this small gesture by the two of them. They slowly drank the wine in the bowl little by little with extremely serious and solemn actions. Fourth Uncle Tang said with tears in his eyes: "It's done.
!It’s done! Cuiping, this wine is really done!”
He excitedly called out Madam Zhou's maiden name, Madam Zhou spat at him lightly, blushed and lowered her head.
Seeing them being so solemn, Tang Shiyue felt quite embarrassed, so she immediately said seriously: "Yes! This time it really happened!"
Pretend! Seeing the serious face of the young lady in front of her, her big eyes blinking, Qi Xiaolang silently looked away.
Uncle Tang was in a state of excitement, so the four of them rolled up their sleeves and started working.
Five jars of wine were filtered, and a total of nearly 220 kilograms of wine was filtered out. The filtered wine was clear and free of impurities.
In fact, it depends on Uncle Tang and his wife. They want to filter more. Tang Shiyue advised him: "Uncle Fourth, if we want to grow bigger, we must pay attention to quality. Sake is sake. Clean it to the end without leaving any residue."
, Besides, our wine is different from others, and it would be bad if there were dregs in it so that people could guess what we brewed it with."
These words struck Fourth Uncle Tang's heart, and several of them reluctantly gave up the remaining wine.
They discussed and decided to sell only ten-jin jars and two-jin jars. In the end, they packed twelve jars of ten-jin jars and forty jars of two-jin jars. The rest were packed separately and were ready for people to taste.
.
Among them, Qi Jing was the only one who could be regarded as both civilized and military. Although Tang's fourth uncle could read, he could not write. So Qi Jing cut out red paper and wrote the five characters "Fu Shou Gu Yuan Wine" and pasted them one by one on the altar.
Tang Shiyue was helping to cut the paper and said: "When we look back and see if we have a chance to meet a great scholar, we can ask him to write one for us."
Is this because he doesn't write well?
Qi Jing glanced at her, Tang Shiyue looked back innocently, then he threw the pen away and stopped writing.
Tang Shiyue glanced at him curiously: "Does this mean a strike? I said I wanted to find a great scholar because I wanted to build on his reputation, but I didn't say that your writing was not good."
Qi Jing didn't say anything. Tang Shiyue saw that Fourth Uncle Tang and Mrs. Zhou didn't pay attention, so she decisively threw away her moral integrity and went over to pull his sleeve: "Brother A Jing, I made a mistake. Don't be angry, A Jing is the best!
"
Qi Jing froze slightly and pulled off his sleeves. He didn't even dare to look at her, and walked quickly to the table with red ears.
How could this little lady do this? She spoke such intimate words with her mouth open! After she finished speaking, it was as if she had never done anything!
How...how could it be like this! His pen was shaking, and all of a sudden he wrote a smeared page. Before Tang Shiyue could say anything, he rubbed it with an expressionless face and said coldly: "Stay away from me."
Tang Shiyue suppressed a laugh and ran to help Uncle Tang.
Early the next morning, the four of them followed the mule cart to the town.
For so many years, the small wine shop has been sold to the Yunlai Restaurant in the town. The country people don't care about the "service attitude". Even though shopkeeper Yang is mean and speaks unpleasantly, Fourth Uncle Tang doesn't care much. He always feels that they are the same as others.
We are old friends at Yunlai Restaurant, so we went to Yunlai Restaurant first.
As soon as Shopkeeper Yang saw them coming in, he looked impatient and scolded: "Why are you here again! How many times have I told you that I don't want your wine!"
Fourth Uncle Tang nodded and bowed with a smile: "We have made a fresh wine this time. You must try it first. If it tastes good..."
Before he could finish speaking, shopkeeper Yang interrupted him: "Okay, okay! Who cares about your fresh wine! Get out quickly! Don't be such a shameless person! We have a noble person today, if you keep pestering or bumping into the noble person, I'll give you my legs."
interrupt!"
Fourth Uncle Tang said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, our wine..."
"Okay! You can't understand people, can you! Man! Get these people out quickly, don't trample on our land!"
Several guys came over quickly and pushed him out.
Fourth Uncle Tang wiped his face, feeling a little annoyed. Tang Shiyue had seen Shopkeeper Yang's mean face before, so she wasn't surprised. She frowned, and after enduring it, she couldn't help it, and said: "Fourth Uncle." (To be completed.)
