Chapter 741 - Grape Wine Luminous Cup (2)
Chapter 741: Grape Wine Luminous Cup (2)
Wine, as early as the Han Dynasty, has been brought from the Western Regions, to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people have been able to brew their own, especially after Taizong, break Gaochang and get its way, the wine quality is better, for most people like, it is not a rare thing, the quality is inferior, ordinary people can drink it from time to time.
However, at present, the scene where Liu Yiyi is located is still far from the day when Taizong took Gaochang, and the wines on the market and in the winery are all derived from the local law, and their taste and color are lacking, and there are not many people who like to drink, and there are few sales in the hotel.
However, even from the beginning, for such a thing as wine, in the eyes of the Tang people of this era, there is no sense of strangeness, not to mention far away, but as far as Liu Laoshi, an honest small farmer, is concerned, when he heard Liu Yiyi mention wine, he was not surprised in his heart, but frowned very puzzled, obviously not understanding why their eldest son suddenly remembered to brew that kind of bitter wine.
If it weren't for the fact that their eldest son had always had the ability to turn waste into treasure before, Lao Liu's heart would not be as calm as it is now, and I am afraid that he would have asked a long time ago.
"Yikes! It's beautiful! When Lao Liu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the three girls of their family shouting excitedly: "Dad, mother, look, those wine glasses and wine jugs are transparent!" It's weird! ”
Lao Liu raised his head when he heard this, and followed Xiao Hui's fingers to move his gaze to the few emerald green wine utensils that their eldest son had just taken out of the wooden box, thin as paper, light like a mirror, green and bright, dazzling, Lao Liu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he found that these objects in front of him were all carved from jade?!
Since the development of the Lao Liu family, in addition to worry-free food and clothing, the utensils and ornaments in the Liu Mansion are also increasing day by day, forcing Lao Liu, an old farmer who has been living here, to have some insight and eyesight, such as porcelain, such as this jade.
"Huh! It's so transparent! He leaned his head forward, put his fingers in the glass, and found that he could really see the fingers inside from the outer wall of the wine glass. ”
Seeing such a novel and amazing thing, Lao Liuba smashed his mouth and silently estimated its value in his heart.
"Such a masterpiece, even if you have money, you may be able to buy it, I really don't know how Liu Cheng's kid got it, and he even got two sets at a time?" Some obsessively reached out and played with the emerald green wine jug on the table, smooth, round, without a trace of axe chisel, I really don't know how those craftsmen carved it.
Valueless and artistic.
If it is put to future generations, let alone this set, I am afraid that just a wine glass can be fried to a sky-high price.
"The husband is right, this wine set is indeed priceless, not to mention the quality of this jade, but this exquisite craftsmanship is already very rare, without decades of hard work, it is difficult to carve this jade so crystal clear." Zhang Chuchu also looked at this set of beautiful things in front of him with some amazement, and said lightly: "Small and exquisite, like water like a mirror, coupled with its characteristics of drinking under the moonlight, if you put it outside, there are not millions, I am afraid it is one of them." ”
"What?!" Hearing this, Lao Liu and the others were taken aback, and Qi pointed to the jade wine set on the table and exclaimed: "Just these broken toys, can they be worth millions?!" ”
On the one hand, there are a few beautiful drinking utensils that have no other purpose than drinking, and on the other hand, there are a few real huge amounts of silver that can bury their entire Liufu together, and it is no wonder that Lao Liu and Liu He are so surprised.
If it rests on them, at least, it is a million, a thousand, a thousand, or even a hundred pairs, and they may not be willing to buy them.
Drinking, what can't you use? In the past, when the family was poor, they even used the sea bowl for eating, like this kind of wine utensils with millions of pairs, they couldn't think of it.
If you have money, you don't bring it to spend like this.
Lao Liu gasped, looking at their eldest son with resentment, if it weren't for the fact that all the money in the family is now obtained by the eldest child, if it wasn't for the eldest child who has been promoted to the head of the family, according to Lao Liu's temperament and temper, seeing his son's behavior like a loser, I am afraid that he would have already picked up the stick and chased him all over the house.
"Dad, this kind of thing is indeed a bit luxurious and wasteful for us to use ourselves, but isn't this a birthday gift for the queen tomorrow, how can we use idle things?" Seeing Lao Liu's black face, how could Liu Yiyi not understand what he was thinking, and had no choice but to move out the big Buddha of the eldest grandson queen.
According to past experience, if anything has anything to do with the royal family, Lao Liu will become angry and short, and there will be few arguments.
"Huh? A birthday gift for the queen? Sure enough, as soon as he heard the name of the queen's mother, Lao Liu's tone couldn't help but become a little cowardly: "If that's the case, it's ...... It's a good use, not a waste. ”
"It's just, it's just the cost of this million, really, it's really a little ......" Thinking of the price of these wine utensils, Lao Liu couldn't help but start feeling a little distressed again. One million, before the Lao Liu family made a fortune, they couldn't eat and spend a lifetime.
"Dad, millions of dollars are just an estimate of Chu Chu, and they can't be counted," Seeing that Lao Liu was still suffering from gains and losses like this, Liu Yiyi felt a little unbearable in his heart, and people who were older were stimulated too much, which was not good.
"Liu Cheng's kid has always been steady, and he won't spend too much." As he spoke, Liu Yiyi glanced at Chen Mingze next to him, and asked lightly: "Ming Ze, when these things were delivered, did you explain what the reserve price was?" ”
"Back to the young master's words, the old lady knows," After nearly a year of grinding by Liu Wuchen's side, Chen Ming has long been as good as a monkey, seeing such a situation in the hall, how can he not understand what their young master means, hearing Liu Yiyi ask, without the slightest hesitation, he directly bent over and replied: "These two sets of wine utensils were collected by Steward Liu from a dilapidated household who did not know much about the goods, and it only cost less than 100,000 yuan. ”
"It's only 100,000?! Two more? This is also too ...... "The contrast between before and after is also a little bigger, right?" Lao Liu looked at Chen Mingze in disbelief.
"Back to the old man, to be exact, 95,500 times." Chen Ming gave an accurate number, and then wisely stopped saying more and stood silently.
"Ninety-five thousand five hundred? That's barely acceptable. Seeing that the little steward said that there was a whole thing, it was the same as the real thing, and this price was closer to the price range in his heart than the million, so Lao Liu selectively believed that it was seven or eight points.
"Jade and antiques are like this," Seeing that Lao Liu still had two or three points of suspicion in his heart, Liu Yiyi continued: "In the eyes of pedestrians, millions of objects are not hesitated, in the hands of people who don't know pedestrians, even if they are willing to do it, Liu Cheng can use less than 100,000 yuan of silver to receive these two pairs of wine utensils, it is not unusual." ”
Listening to his son's words, Lao Liu's old face couldn't help but turn red, remembering that he had just estimated the price of these two sets of wine utensils, and it seemed that even the people who sold these wine utensils were slightly inferior, so he unconsciously took a seat and automatically attributed himself to the line of people who didn't know how to do it.
"Besides, the reason why the child chooses such an expensive wine utensil is just to make it an introduction and a foil." Smiling confidently, Liu Yichi straightened up, turned his head to look around at the few people present, and whispered the purpose of his move: "If you don't have such a precious wine set worth millions of yuan, how can you highlight the difference of the wine made by our 'Liu's Winery'?" ”
Spending money is to make better money.
If you want to make a brand famous, the necessary investment is indispensable.
Liu Yiyi's assertion made Zhang Chuchu and Chen Ming's eyes brighten, before Liu Yiyi didn't make his words clear, who would have thought that while paying homage to the eldest grandson and queen, their master would still want to make a banner for his own wine?
"One, after all, it's the queen's birthday banquet, and many royal relatives are here, will it seem a little disrespectful if you do this? If the queen is to blame, what should she do? Liu He's family also somewhat understood the plans of their eldest son, and they were worried, so they couldn't help but persuade them.
"Mother and rest assured," Liu Yiyi looked at Liu He with a smile and said: "The queen mother is kind, she will not blame such a kid, and I have confidence in our wine." ”
As he spoke, Liu Yiyi stretched out his hand to signal to Chen Mingze, and then took the wine jar he handed over and poured it into the five luminous glasses on the table without passing through the wine jug.
Suddenly, the red wine juice filled the jade cup, and a different fragrance of Qingxin wine diffused, causing several people present to sniff lightly.
"Regardless of gender, young and old," picked up the wine glass, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed lightly, Liu Yiyi looked up at Lao Liu and them, and said softly: "Try it, although the brewing time is too short, and the color and taste are still a little insufficient, but compared to the wine and water imported from the Western Regions, it is not bad, I believe you will like this taste." ”
"Looks good, big brother, can I drink it too?" Looking at the jade cup of red wine on the table, Liu Xiaohui looked up at her eldest brother with longing.
"That's natural, but don't be greedy." patted Xiaohui's head dotingly, and Liu Yiyi said softly.
"Sweet?!" Liu Xiaohui, who had never drunk this kind of drink, narrowed her two small eyes, and directly poured a full glass of red wine into her stomach, and then took the empty cup with unfinished eyes, licked her lips, and looked at the eldest brother and the jar in the eldest brother's hand.
