MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 147 Life is like floating grass
Chapter 147 Life is like floating grass
In the era when the alcohol content was not high, there were often the kind of bullies who were not drunk after a thousand cups. In the brothel and Chu Pavilion, there would be many people with good wine who often gambled.
Deyi Building is the largest brothel in the capital. According to Cui Jiuniang's information, there are more than ten third-rank officials who often come to the building.
This has led to the fact that Deyilou is actually a good advertising platform. As long as something like this is created in Deyilou, it will take a few days for this kind of spirits to be widely advertised and spread throughout the capital.
The capital city is the head of the dragon in the world, and news of the capital city can be spread all over the world within a year and a half at most.
The next night, as Li Xin said, Dayilou posted a big notice.
The notice was written by Cui Jiuniang herself, and the handwriting is elegant.
"The owner occasionally got several jars of fine wine, thinking that from ancient times to the present, there is a mellow and strong wine, and ordinary people drink it and get drunk. Those who are not drunk with a single stick of incense are allowed to spend a good night with Qian Qianguan and the girl Caiyi."
There is a high platform next to the notice, on which are three porcelain bowls filled with wine.
Every year, Deyi Lou has to hold a few top cards for the abdication of the Qing Dynasty. These top cards are all talented and beautiful. Although they don’t sell their bodies, they earn more money than those who sell their bodies. I don’t know how much, etc. After three or four years of prosperity, these top brands really began to contact guests, either staying in the building to do business, or marrying out to be concubines.
A long, long time ago, before the proud building, Cui Jiuniang was also one of these people, but she was the seventh prince's outer residence as a Qing shepherd.
This girl in the clothes was the most popular Qing shepherd in Deyilou in the past two years. She was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry. Many nobles in the capital offered tens of thousands of dollars to buy her, but Cui Jiuniang did not nod her head in agreement.
Now, as long as you drink three bowls of wine, you can kiss Fangze?
The building was boiling.
A lot of people were scrambling to rush towards the high platform regardless of their identity. A tall man stood on the high platform with a loud voice: "Dear guests, don't crowd, come one by one."
A chunky middle-aged man was the first to step onto the high platform.
Chen Fu, a member of the labor department.
This clerk is also a high-profile drinker. He has rarely been drunk for decades. After walking up to the high stage, he laughed and took a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it.
Then he coughed violently.
In order to prevent people from drinking dead people, Li Xin mixed some water into it, but despite this, these three bowls of wine still have a degree of about 60 degrees, and a large bowl of wine has at least half a catty. In this era of drinking light wine , It takes at least ten or twenty years of adaptation time, and people in this era can cope with this kind of spirits.
This clerk fell heroically.
Another lord of the censors boarded the high platform.
These officials are wearing ordinary clothes, and ordinary people do not recognize them, but Cui Jiuniang, who is standing on the third floor watching, knows their identities clearly. The young man chuckled softly, "Young Master Li's wine is really good. This clerk has been coming to the Kerry Building for several years. I haven't seen him get drunk before."
Li Xin squinted his eyes and said with a soft smile, "You can't let Sister Cui lose, can you?"
Jiuniang looked downstairs and whispered, "Mr. Li, what's the name of this wine?"
"It should be called King Wei Wine in the imperial court, but folks don't call it that, lest everyone say that His Royal Highness King Wei wastes food."
Winemaking is indeed a food-wasting industry. When Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty was in power, the mountains and rivers were devastated, and folk winemaking was prohibited. Until the fifth year of Chengde, that is, thirteen years ago, the vitality of the Great Jin Dynasty had almost recovered. The emperor of Chengde ordered the lifting of the prohibition on alcohol.
Li Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "This wine can be lit with fire, so let's call it Zhu Rong."
Naming is a very crucial part. After all, this method of steaming wine cannot be kept secret for a long time. In the future, there will always be times when distilled wine will be bad. If you want to make money in the future, you must take advantage of the present to make this wine. into a "famous brand".
Thus, Zhurongjiu was born.
Cui Jiuniang nodded and said, "Okay, I wrote down the name."
Li Xin said softly: "In the past few days, don't take off this notice in the Deyi Building. After a few days, it's time to get famous."
Speaking of this, Li Xin's face became serious, and he said solemnly: "Sister Cui remember, no matter who asked to buy this kind of wine these days, my sister refused and said no, after ten days and a half months. , and then release the news that there are ten altars of toasting wine for sale."
When the wine is sold again, the degree will not be as high as it is today, at most thirty or forty degrees, otherwise, even if someone is willing to buy it, no one likes to drink it.
This method of selling wine is a trick learned by Li Xin and a later member of the surname Lei. Although the trick is not very bright, I have to admit that it is very useful.
In the early days of Lei Daguan's fortune, this marketing method made great efforts.
Cui Jiuniang nodded: "I see, how much is the price?"
Li Xin grinned: "There are ten jars of wine in total. Let them bid at what price."
Cui Jiuniang turned her head to look at Li Xin, and sighed softly: "If Mr. Li came to do business, he would definitely be the number one in the capital... a big profiteer..."
Li Xin laughed: "There are no businessmen and no evildoers, these noble people are so rich, killing them is also a contribution to the society."
Having said this, Li Xin reported to Cui Jiuniang with a clasped fist: "Sister, my younger brother has something to do in the Princess Mansion, so I will go back first, and my elder sister will take care of it first. If you have anything, let me contact me at any time."
Cui Jiuniang smiled: "Little Langjun, who used to sell charcoal, is now a busy man."
As soon as she said these words, she knew she had lost her words, and immediately covered her mouth.
After many people become prosperous, they will regard their poor self as a stain and do not want to be mentioned by others.
Li Xin smiled unabated: "Selling this thing is no different from selling charcoal in the first place, but the buyer is different."
Li Xin bowed his hands to Jiuniang and left the proud building.
Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin's far-away back and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Li Xin has a good personality. If he was a careful person, he might have hatred.
Jiuniang was thinking about Li Xin when the maid Ping'er hurried over and said to Cui Jiuniang, "Juniang, it's not good, the girl Caiyi is throwing a temper in the room, and even the piano fell. now..."
Jiuniang calmed her mind and glanced at Ping'er lightly: "What is she making a fuss about?"
Ping'er lowered her head and hesitated: "It's just because of you that she treated her as a reward, so she was angry and was making a noise... Come and have a look..."
Jiuniang's tone was calm: "I don't have time to pay attention to her. If she likes to make trouble, let her make trouble. You go and tell her that if she can't get through, she will be killed now."
"Dead, I'll find someone else to replace her."
Jiuniang turned around indifferently and stopped paying attention to Piner.
The life of a brothel woman is like floating grass, she can only follow the wind and waves, how can you struggle?
