Chapter 63: Lao Li's Birthday
On the second day, Liu Keding looked at the three of them with a weird smile, but he didn't ask anything, and he looked disgusting with omniscience.
Mr. Qingya Academy's students left Zhaowen Academy and returned to Lushan, the route they took along the way was very strange, and it seemed that they were not the same road as when they came, and the old guy who asked Liu Keding just smiled mysteriously and didn't tell him, until they walked into a big city!
"The third day of the seventh month is the 80th birthday of Mr. Li An, the mountain chief!" Lao Liu smiled meaningfully, and the meaning in his smile was that even a fool could see that he was asking for a bribe!
"Then Mr. Liu, it seems that we should send something to the mountain elder?" Zhang Feud is very good, most of these students are rich and noble families, so they naturally don't care about this thing.
Han Tongwen sighed, it seems that no matter what era it is, as long as there are people under the control of a leader, they want something, even Mr. is like this, let alone other people. However, Han Tongwen obviously thought too much
"Don't worry, don't worry" Liu Keding was very satisfied with Zhang Fengudud, "After the third day of the seventh month, July 14 is the birthday of Mr. Wen, the fat man Wen, the sixth day of September is Mr. Shi Heimian's birthday, October 20 is Mr. Wu's birthday, and the old man's night, November 21! It's not easy to go down the mountain, or buy them all," Liu Keding said with a smile
Han Tongwen almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, this bribery is asking for people's lives!
"Except for Ke Ping, what about the others, buy whatever you want" Wu Qinghe also colluded with Liu Keding, "Mr. Li likes ancient books, Mr. Shi likes some gadgets, and the old man can just come to some celebrity calligraphy and paintings."
Come on, the first half of the sentence can be treated as if he didn't say it, and he asked for something famous, even Ji Ruopu, who has been with them for many years, doesn't understand, these old guys have been very low-key in the past, why have they changed the norm this time! Other students don't understand either, but Mr. opened his mouth and said, although they are valuable, they are either from a martial arts family or a dignitary, and they are not people who lack money, and they can still afford it by gritting their teeth.
"Sir, I don't have any money," Han Tongwen said
"Money, you can make it if you think of a way" Liu Keding smiled and said, "I believe in you, don't let me down" Liu Keding gave Han Tongwen a vicious look, if you don't buy it, the consequences will be very serious!
The purpose is clear, Linzhou City is for consumption!
"Linzhou City is the largest city in the vicinity, I advise you to buy the best things, there will definitely be unexpected surprises"
Throughout the ages, there has only been one answer, students! Because whenever you want to succeed, you only have to study, and you have never seen anyone who has to bargain when they buy the four treasures of the study, as long as it is useful for learning, it is absolutely a fixed price, and giving gifts to teachers also has an incomparable effect on learning
There are a lot of various commercial houses in Linzhou, and there are naturally those who want to buy celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and Han Tongwen can't afford it doesn't mean that others can't afford it.
Although Kaiyuan Tongbao is convenient, it is troublesome to buy thousands of calligraphy and painting antiques, and only those who have problems carry dozens of catties of copper coins with them, except for the coal boss, of course, Datang does not
"What are you going to buy?" Han Tongwen asked Qin Zisang
"My family seems to have some industry in Linzhou, I went over to see what good collections there are"
Han Tongwen can only sigh, this is a rich man, and he has his own shop wherever he goes
"What about you, do you need me to lend you some money?"
"Forget it, even if you borrow me, I can't change it, I'll think about what kind of gift I can find" Han Tongwen waved his hand and left, for borrowing money, Han Tongwen was very repulsive, it's okay if you have the ability, don't open your mouth if you don't have the ability, the last thing to fold is your reputation.
Han Tongwen scratched his head, what kind of gift is neither costly nor decent? He is a young man in the new era who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze in the 21 st century, and if he can't even solve this trouble, he will be too incompetent.
"What do you want to give? Like books, the treasure book of the later generations, the Golden Bottle Plum, let it appear in advance and bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty people?" Han Tongwen shook his head, if the Song Jin Bottle Plum had to make the old guy angry, it would not be good if this happy thing turned into a white thing.
I don't know where I went, but I smelled a strong aroma of wine!
"Wine, yes, send wine!" Han Tongwen happily thought, "I am so poor, do I want to start some industry?
Just do what you say, and borrow money from Qin Zisang! The martial arts family is indeed rich, a huge silk village, this is the industry of Qin Zisang's family in Linzhou!
"Lend me some money!"
"How much" Qin Zisang didn't ask Han Tongwen what he was doing
"Three thousand runs" Han Tongwen calculated, if there is a small tavern, it will probably be enough for so much.
"Old Qin, take three thousand runs" Qin Zisang was very happy
"Don't you ask me what I'm doing, when won't I pay it back, aren't you afraid that I'll pay my bills?"
"Rely on my Qin family's account, the emperor can't rely on it, let alone you," Qin Zisang said
"If I can't pay it back, a book of martial arts cheats will be credited" took the money and left without waiting for Qin Zisang to refuse, Han Tongwen
Three thousand times, the resistance is heavy on the shoulders, thinking that I have become a small local tyrant, I am quite excited, not to mention dozens of catties, even a few hundred catties are not tired!
"Who's the boss here!" shouted Han Tongwen
"Who's the boss here!"
A little old man walked out of the courtyard
"This son, little old man Lu Ji, are you looking for something about little old man?"
"I'm going to buy this winery," Han Tongwen got straight to the point
"Childe, this is a family heirloom winery, the little old man's ancestors relied on this winery to eat, and it is not sold" Lu Ji refused with a smile
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me first. 3,000 guan, I improve the winemaking technology, the daily affairs of the winery and the winemaking are still managed by you, and you account for 30% of the total profit of the annual operation."
The old man Lu Ji frowned, this winery is worth a maximum of eight hundred guan, and these three thousand guan are simply terrifying.
"This winery is worth up to 800 guan, 3,000 guan is too much, and if you want to buy it, let the little old man want to see how you improve the liquor first."
Although the wine of the Tang Dynasty is sweet, there are more ingredients like drinks, what "green ant new roasted wine, red clay small stove." "The bamboo leaves are green, and the grapes are red. "The lychee is newly ripe and the rooster comb is colored, and the soju is amber at the beginning", the writing is perfect, but the degree is a little low.
The distilled liquor was much stronger than today's rice wine, a strong liquor from 40 degrees to 678 degrees. It is not difficult to distill liquor, "with strong liquor and bad retorts, steam on the gas, and use a vessel to take the dew." All sour wine can be steamed. ”
When the distilled liquor was diluted, Lu Ji couldn't wait to taste it, and a burning sensation spread from his throat all over his body!
"Good, good wine!" Lu Ji said excitedly
Han Tongwen also tasted it, yes, with a taste of wine in later generations. "What do you think?"
"Xiao Lao'er did it, this kind of wine will definitely be popular in the Tang Dynasty, presumably the previous wine, that is, water"
"Then it's a deal," Han Tongwen said with a smile
"Three thousand, Xiao Lao'er doesn't charge a cent, just three percent of the one-year dividend of this wine, Xiao Lao'er earns too much, twenty percent" Lu Ji said, "Wait a minute"
Lu Ji took a piece of paper and came over, "This is the title deed, and you will be the new owner of Ping'an Wine Shop in the future!"
"No need, no need!" Han Tongwen still hasn't twisted Lu Ji, I have to say that Datang is really simple and simple, and it is too much to make money.
"Three thousand guan is left to you, I will give you this distillation method first, and I will come to get a jar of the best wine in a day!"
Han Tongwen held a pot of wine in his hand, hummed a little song and left, in the future, he can be regarded as a person with an industry, in addition to martial arts, he can also be regarded as having other capital to make a living!
Regardless of the era, wealth was always concentrated in the hands of a few, and the aristocracy was the representative of those who held the land and wealth.
Qin Zisang bought an ancient jade with two thousand guan, and the real money and silver were exchanged for such a piece of jade that was not as big as a palm, Han Tongwen looked distressed for Qin Zisang, and muttered in his mouth, "Zhumen wine and meat stink, Zhumen wine and meat stink!"
Think about yourself with a jar of high-grade wine, decent and cheap, not only does you not spend money but also make money, much better than these ointment children. Thinking that the wine brewed in the winery would sell well in the future, Han Tongwen was happy, and he took two sips of the wine.
