On this day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.
There is a small restaurant called "Qingquan Wine Cellar" in the west of Huayin County.
"Dear fellow villagers, Xiao Ziyu, I am the owner of this 'Qingquan Wine Cellar'. Today is the opening day of 'Qingquan Wine Cellar'. We invite you to taste our wine for free."
Xiao Ziyu walked to the door of the store and said with a smile to the people surrounding the door. After saying this, Xiao Ziyu ordered Zhang Qing: "Zhang Qing pours wine!"
hiss!
Suddenly, many people outside the door took a deep breath, because their noses had smelled a strong aroma.
"How is this possible?" Many people exclaimed. They never imagined that in this small Huayin County, there would be such a wine cellar that could brew such a delicious wine.
And at this time, they had already seen that the wine poured into the bowl was brighter in color. Although it was still turbid, there was no impurity at all.
At this time, those who were addicted to alcohol walked into Xiao Ziyu's wine cellar one after another. They eagerly picked up the wine that had been poured into the porcelain bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Ahem!" As a result, these people were all in tragedy.
Xiao Ziyu's wine is distilled wine. Although it is mixed with some ordinary wine, the alcohol content is still there, at least over 0 degrees.
What these people usually drink is beer in Xiao Ziyu's eyes. Now when they drink this wine, of course they can't bear its strength. Everyone coughs, and some of their faces turn red, but they are reluctant to spit it out.
In fact, this wine has a long aroma, mellow taste, sweet taste, and refreshing throat.
Those who tasted a bowl for free immediately became obsessed with Xiao Ziyu's wine. But they were too embarrassed to let Xiao Ziyu give it to them for free.
Because they all know that this wine is definitely much better than the ordinary wines bought in ordinary restaurants. If this is the case, the price of this wine will definitely not be cheap.
Of course, there are some who are not short of money. So they all looked at Xiao Ziyu anxiously and asked: "Boss Xiao, I wonder how you sell this wine?"
One of them asked what they were feeling. Others followed suit and asked: "Yes, Boss Xiao, how much does this wine cost per pound?"
"Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious. The price will be marked in my wine cellar later. If you want to buy it, you will know it soon."
Seeing the expressions of these people, Xiao Ziyu suddenly felt happy, because he knew that a lot of money would soon enter his pocket.
Soon everyone in Huayin County knew about Xiao Ziyu's "Qingquan Wine Cellar". After all, his concept of free tasting was very attractive.
Anyone who comes in for the first time can drink a small bowl of wine for free, which is regarded as the best wine in their eyes. This is of course a living advertisement.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ziyu left. He was going to work hard. Because he knew that after his "Qingquan Wine" became famous, these 800 kilograms of wine would definitely not be enough.
He needs to continue to 'brew' new wine.
Soon the day passed and "Qingquan Wine Cellar" closed.
Butler Yang took Zhang Qing, Li Shu and other five people back to the "Xiangshan Villa".
"How is it? How is business today?" Seeing them coming back, Xiao Ziyu asked Butler Yang.
"Sir, your wine is indeed the best in the world. In one day, all the wine you brought here in the morning was sold out."
"Everything is really sold out." Xiao Ziyu was also a little shocked. He knew that in addition to the free wine, he had a hundred kilograms of wine. But now it has been sold out in one day. This is definitely a big sale.
"Master, I sold this today to get some silver." Butler Yang asked Zhang Qing to take out the silver. Xiao Ziyu took a look and saw that there were about five hundred taels.
Xiao Ziyu's head was filled with satisfaction. Originally, he was worried that the price of his wine had been set high and that those people would not buy it. Unexpectedly, all the wine he brought out in the morning had been sold out.
It can be seen that his wine is still very popular.
At five taels of silver per catty, this price is indeed much lower than the top wines on the market. Although his wine is not inferior to those top wines.
But his wine has no background after all. In Xiao Ziyu's opinion, this five taels of silver per catty of 'Qingquan wine' is pretty good. What's more, this is the worst kind after his run.
Of course, he made a profit by selling the five taels of silver per catty. You must know that the wine he bought from other wine cellars was only one tael of silver and five catties of wine. Now he sells it for five taels of silver per catty.
.
Even though he lost half of the wine during the distillation process, his profit still reached five times or even ten times.
This is simply robbing a bank (no, robbing a bank).
Xiao Ziyu then took out fifty taels of silver and handed it directly to Zhang Qing and the other five, each with ten taels of silver.
Xiao Ziyu's action immediately shocked Zhang Qing and the other five. They never imagined that Xiao Ziyu would give them such money. They were all frightened and did not dare to come to receive it.
"Go on with peace of mind! This is your reward for today. I also made a lot today. I will give you these fifty taels as a reward. But you must also help me take care of my house.
Don’t let others come up with my ideas.”
Xiao Ziyu looked at their looks and immediately explained.
Of course, this is what he was thinking in his heart, "Since I eat meat, of course I also want them to drink soup. Otherwise, it would be bad if these people are unbalanced and attack me. Spend money to make them more loyal."
, why not?”
But what Xiao Ziyu spent was not a small amount of money. Each person spent ten taels of silver, which was definitely a huge sum of money for Zhang Qing and the others.
Before being hired by Xiao Ziyu, the ten taels of silver they could earn a year was already extremely difficult.
But now Xiao Ziyu not only gives them a monthly salary of five taels of silver, but also a reward of ten taels. At this time, they were so moved that they even followed Xiao Ziyu wholeheartedly.
If anyone dares to make trouble with Xiao Ziyu now, he or she will have trouble with the five of them, and they will definitely fight to the death.
"Don't worry, sir, we will fight to the death to protect you and this other courtyard." In the end, Zhang Qing handed over the money to accept the money given by Xiao Ziyu, and promised with red eyes.
"Very good!" Xiao Ziyu was very happy when he saw that he had bribed these five outer disciples of the Huashan Sect with fifty taels of silver.
Regardless of these five outer disciples, they are not even comparable to the third-rate masters in the world. But if the five of them fight together to the death, even the third-rate masters will definitely retreat.
Besides, there were not many masters in the world of Swordsman. In addition, this was ten years before Swordsman started.
At this time, the old man passed away and the new martial arts had not yet fully matured. For example, Yue Buqun's martial arts, Xiao Ziyu believed that he had just reached the first level. Ding Mian, Lu Bo and others were even second-rate.
As a result, the masters in the world are still in their own sects. This is still very beneficial to Xiao Ziyu.
After all, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings." Without these people, Xiao Ziyu would not be afraid even if there were those third-rate people.
