Chapter 362 Wine Tasting
The young man who bought the wine was King Li Ke of Wu.
When Liu Yi came out of Di’s mansion and turned to “get drunk”, he was told by Liu Cheng.
When Li Ke came to visit his house in Sanyuan Liu Mansion, Liu Cheng had served the young master. Although he was not familiar with him, he always had an impression. So when Li Ke just stepped to the store, Liu Cheng recognized him immediately and felt nervous.
Fortunately, Li Ke was focused on the wine in the hall at that time, and he had never observed the shopkeeper who looked a little nervous in front of him. From buying the wine to leaving, there was only less than a cup of tea in total, and he did not notice anything inappropriate.
"Even if he remembers you, he will definitely not recognize you anymore," Liu Yi's face did not have much turmoil. He looked up at Liu Cheng and said, "When he was in Sanyuan, you were just an inconspicuous servant, and not many people followed you. In addition, you have changed your appearance now. Unless you are a person who is particularly familiar with you, no one will recognize you."
Li Ke should have just passed by, and Liu Yiu was not worried. Instead, the ten pots of raw wine taken away by Li Ke may be a good thing for "Do Yi Ji". According to Li Ke's nature, if you get good wine, you will never drink it alone. This is like advertising. If there are good things, most people will get used to asking about the source of it.
Not long after, "Get drunk" will definitely be paid attention to by more people.
"You are fully responsible for the matter of "Get Drunk" in the future. I will not interfere more. Your current task is to do a good job and expand your "Get Drunk" and spread the branches of "Get Drunk" to all prefectures, counties and neighboring countries in the Tang Dynasty and even abroad as quickly as possible," Liu Yiu said to Liu Cheng softly: "With 'three bowls of nowhere', it is not difficult to do this."
"Yes, young master, I will do my best!" Liu Cheng bowed and responded. Although he is now the adopted son of Lao Liu and Liu Yi's nominal righteous brother, he has always kept his identity in his heart and did not dare to go any further.
The money for "De Yijiu" was paid by the Liu Mansion. Although he was nominally the shopkeeper, he always regarded himself as a temporary housekeeper, just like the Wuchen butler of the Liu Mansion in the past.
Liu Cheng was not blinded by the status and situation in front of him, nor was he fascinated by the money that flowed from him every day. Liu Cheng was a very real, yet very insightful and practical person. He knew very well why he came now, and also knew the extraordinary methods of their young master. If he dared to take up "get drunk" at this time, he would lose the money they brought when they came, and the unique secret recipe that could make "three bowls but no one". Liu Cheng fully believed that their young master had at least a dozen methods to make him lose everything again, and even die without a complete body.
Liu Cheng had almost reached the point of admiration for Liu Yi's ability, and he did not have the courage or confidence to fight against him.
Therefore, Liu Cheng's loyalty to Liu Yipin was not only because of gratitude and recognition of Liu Yipin's favor to him, but also because he was more afraid. He could not bear the consequences of offending their young master.
The young master is a very protective person and very good at holding grudges.
This is Liu Cheng's evaluation of Liu Yi's kindness. In the past six months after he followed Liu Yi, every time someone bullied the family or friends of the Liu family, Liu Yi would give the most powerful counterattack at the fastest speed, such as Wu Zuijian, Hou Junji, and Wang Shuai's family that he had heard people mentioned before, are all good examples.
Although Liu Cheng didn't know why their young master had such an action similar to escaping and evasion this time, Liu Cheng still believed that this must be the preparation before their young master attacked. The longer the preparation time, the stronger the strength of the counterattack would be.
Before coming out of Sanyuan, Liu Chengzhu had already begun to observe silently for the mastermind who wanted the life of the Liu family in his heart. Although he had thought that the person's official position or power might also be very powerful.
"Dad and mother are all okay?" Liu Yi's tone changed and he started chatting with Liu Cheng.
"Mr. and the old lady are all right," Liu Cheng also chuckled and replied: "Mr. He still plays his chess every day. He is often caught by him from time to time. The master's chess is much more powerful than when he was at home. If it is convenient for the young master, he might as well come and fight with the master several times. The master has always complained that he has no opponent and is not addicted to playing."
"The old lady has been busy cutting clothes," Liu Cheng continued to see a smile on his face, "I have done more than a few dolls, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and I have made some in every season. I often ask the younger one about the situation of the young lady, for fear that the young lady would have encountered some accidents outside..."
Without Liu Cheng's words, Liu Yi could imagine the current situation of Lao Liu and Liu He. One was because of the inconvenience of legs and feet and the inconvenience of going out. The other was because of some conservative women in feudal society who were unwilling to show up and would definitely be stuck in the house every day.
Fortunately, they still have the little trickster Liu Xiaohui with them, so they shouldn't feel too lonely.
"I'll go to the inner hall to see the two elders," Liu Yiuan said, "In a few days, the twelfth lunar month will enter. When the New Year is over, I, a teacher, should have a vacation and rest. I have no excuses for frequent visits and will have fewer contacts before the New Year."
"During the Chinese New Year, there is a worship ceremony between masters and apprentices. Then you can bring Xiaohui to my current home and let the young lady see. She also missed her family very much in these days." Liu Yi turned her head and told Liu Cheng, saying, "After the Chinese New Year, I will also bring the young lady to the store to visit again, and the whole family has a reunion dinner, and it is lively and hustle and bustle."
As he spoke, Liu Yiuan couldn't help but think of the second son of the Liu family who was still in Chang'an. He left him alone in Chang'an. I don't know how he was doing. Has he been completely adapted? Can he pass the re-examination of the Ministry of Personnel successfully? Can he be a official safely?
Liu Yizhao never worried about Liu Ertiao's safety. One is because Xue Rengui is there, and the other is because after he left, whether it was the officials of Chang'an or the people of the Tang Dynasty, they would naturally focus their attention on Liu Laoer. At this time, Liu Ertiao was like a giant panda in the 21st century. Under the noses of so many people, who dared to let something happen to him?
"I remember it, young master, don't worry." Liu Cheng nodded and replied, remembering Liu Yi's words firmly in his heart.
"Well, okay, you go outside and work hard. I will go to the inner hall to find them by myself." Wei waved at Liu Cheng and sent him out. Liu Yiuan then left the elegant room and stepped into the back hall on the first floor.
"Young Master, the boss has arrived. The young man just got off the carriage when he came." Ren Chong quickly stepped into the hall and reported to their young master in a hurry.
"My mother is here? It's great. Come and go out to greet me!" Ren You, who was teasing their little maid in the hall, was overjoyed when he heard this. The "get drunk" incident made his head almost explode. His mother came just in time. She waved her hand to send the little maid down, and got up and went out to greet her.
"No need, Xiaoyou, my mother is here." After looking at the little maid who had just left, Ren Gu gave Ren You a nauseously. He knew that his son had a minor problem again. He liked to be flirting with women at such a young age. How could he have had a child when he grew up?
"Mom!" Huan shouted, Ren You ran over and went up to meet him, hugged Ren Gu's arm with a kiss, and said, "Why did you come? I'm so anxious that I'm so anxious."
"Oh? Is that so, why didn't I see it?" Ren Gu patted Ren You's little head without hesitation, as a punishment for teasing the girl just now.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on? Is the pot of wine you sent to the main store really that cheap?" He pulled his son down in the main hall, and Ren Gu got to the point directly. It can be seen that 'Three bowls of wine are not enough' has attracted her full attention.
A kind of wine that is better than "Qinglan Wine" and is nearly ten times cheaper. If it is mass-produced and sold without restrictions, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to them "Yiheju". They have no advantage in competing with it.
This is a great threat. Although it is not obvious yet, with the increasing spread of "Three Bowls But Gang", it will inevitably have a great impact on "Yiheju".
Otherwise, Ren Gu, the shopkeeper "Yi Heju", who had been busy all day, would not have rushed over in a hurry after hearing the news.
"It's real, mom, the wine I sent back the day before yesterday is nothing. Look at this pot again." Ren You grabbed the sealed wine pot on the table and handed it to Ren Gu, opening the cover. Suddenly, a mellow and rich aroma of wine spread in the hall.
The hardcover version of "Three Bowls Not a Gate" was bought back from "Deyi Zui" early in the morning.
After buying it, Ren You tried to taste a glass and had a drink. His whole little face turned red at that time, and he felt like he was floating up suddenly. He was dizzy and didn't know what it was. It took him a long time to calm down.
The strongness of the good wine was only seen in his life, and it was no less than ten times better than the "Qinglan Sa" in their family. After taking a sip, Ren You's whole heart fell to the bottom and he no longer had the intention to compete with "De Yi Ji".
"Good wine!" When he first smelled the wine, Ren Gu couldn't help but praise him.
"This is the new wine that Deyizhu just launched yesterday. Although it is also called 'Three Bowls of Butang', it is several times stronger than the usual loose wine and it tastes sweeter." Ren You glanced at his mother and said, "This kind of wine is not cheap at all. It is ten thousand pots, but it is also in short supply."
"Ten Guan?" Ren Guwei was stunned for a moment. What kind of wine did they dare to set such a high price? Then he picked up the pot and poured a glass for himself, pursing his lips.
As he drank, a heat flowed straight into his internal organs. Ren Gu's white and tender cheeks instantly turned red and transparent, his drunken eyes were blurred, and his face became more and more beautiful. Ren Chong, who was beside him, couldn't help but look straight at his eyes.
"Ren Chong, go and call Shui Bo. He should have gone to the winery now." After a long time, Ren Gu woke up from her intoxication and shook her head slightly. The redness on her face gradually faded and her face became a little dark.
Obviously, she was also hit by this raw wine.
It is not an exaggeration to describe this kind of wine as nectar. After working hard in the restaurant industry for decades, she has never seen such clear and strong wine? The price of ten cents is not outrageous. For those who really have good wine, even if it is more expensive, they will be willing to buy it.
"Yes, the shopkeeper." Retracting his dazed look, Ren Chong bent over and gave a bow to the two of them, and then retreated lightly.
The Shui Bo mentioned by Ren Gu was named Ren Shuiliu, who was the older generation of the Ren family. He was among the best at brewing and tasting in the Ren family. When Ren Chong found him in the wine room in the backyard, the old man was already very devoted to joining the wine brewing ranks in the wine room. Ren Chong called him seven or eight times outside the wine room before calling him out of the wine room.
He reluctantly followed Ren Chong to the hall in the front yard. Looking at his expression, he seemed a little impatient and was not very happy to stay outside for a long time. He was the kind of person who could not live without alcohol for a moment.
Zhishui Bo has such a temper. Ren Gu and Ren You have become accustomed to it. They are not surprised. They smiled and asked him to sit down next door.
"Hmm?! What a strong smell of wine?" As soon as he sat down, Ren Shuiliu held his nose and sniffed in the hall. At the same time, his eyes were also staring at the wine pot near Ren Gu, with bright light on his eyes.
"Boy Shui," saw this, Ren Gu took the pot and poured it lightly, handed it to Ren Shuiliu, and said in a whisper: "This is the 'three bowls but no one' that Xiao You found from 'Get drunk'. Their tastes are good. Please try it."
Ren Gu and Ren You both looked at Shui Bo, hoping that this old man could bring them some hope.
"Well, it is crystal clear, mellow, color and fragrance are excellent. I just don't know how it tastes?" Ren Shuiliu swallowed lightly, took the wine glass without hesitation, and savored it softly.
