Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 170;

Chapter 170 Entering Chang'an

"Lang Jun, we're here,"

"Are you in Chang'an City?"

"Yes, we have arrived at Tonghua Gate."

"Oh, then Mr. Ben is going down for a walk, what time is it now?"

Zeng Gui, who was driving the car, looked at the sky and thought about it for a while before replying;
"If you go back to Langjun, it should be almost past the end of time."

After yawning, Li Yu lazily got down from the bed on the carriage.

A group of people paid the city entrance tax and walked on the street outside Yongjiafang.

Rong Niang and several other maids were still in the car, and Daniu and several families had children, walking and chatting with Li Yu.

"Lang Jun, I heard that you are not used to riding in a carriage, why are you feeling uncomfortable today?"

"Didn't you see that I dare not eat at noon? I am afraid that I will spit it out in a carriage,"

"Then, sir, should we find a restaurant where the gentleman can eat some delicious food before we go on our way."

Li Yu put on the posture of a group president, with a serious face.

"No need, go south, go to Dongshi, we are not here to eat in Chang'an this time, we are here to do big business, you know?"

"Soldiers in Chang'an? Sir, we are here to sell wine in Chang'an. How can we say that we are in Chang'an? Don't talk nonsense about this, it will cause trouble. You better be more cautious."

Daniu heard Li Yu talk about entering Chang'an, so he hurried over to explain in a low voice.

"The soldiers I'm talking about are the wine we brought. Alas, it's really boring, with no sense of humor!"

Zeng Gui, who was pulling the reins of the carriage beside him, also returned in a low voice;
"Lang Jun, you don't dare to say such things as marching into Chang'an. The villain thinks, let's say that selling wine in Chang'an is better!"

"Forget it, let's go to Dongshi, just sell wine!"

"Hey, listen to Mr. Lang."

"Daniu, go and ask, are there many wine sellers around here?

Where are the big shops and where are they? Let's avoid them, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to sell a jar. "

"It's Mr. Lang!"

Li Yu also ignored Daniel, and the group continued to go to Dongshi.

After a while, Daniel ran up panting;
"I want to report to you sir, the villain has found out clearly that there are three big wine shops near this East City. Look, that one is the one over there...

That shop is one of them. I heard that behind these three big shops, there are either meritorious nobles in the imperial court, or big family. They have been running wine for many years. "

"Oh, you didn't ask, is there a liquor store in Dongshi?"

Li Yu looked at the pedestrians on the road and the various shops on both sides, and asked a casual question.

"I asked someone, and they said that there are dozens of wine shops in Dongshi, which can't be counted, but the three big shops mentioned by the villain just now don't go to Dongshi to open a branch. .”

"Well, I see, hurry up, let's go to Dongshi to find a place to sell and see if we can sell some."

Li Yu basically knew the three wine shops in the east of the city in his heart, and he kept his identity and would not lose his identity by coming to the grocery market in the east city.

Dozens of them are just small businesses, so don't worry about it. Find a place to set up the stalls later.

"Lang Jun, don't we go back to the Duke's mansion first, and then go to Dongshi?"

"It will be early, what are you going back to do? Sleep, eat meat?

I said Daniel, besides eating, can you think of anything else, why do you look like a starving ghost all day long! "

"If I go back to the mansion this time, do I have to wait until I have eaten meat and vegetables before coming to Dongshi to sell wine?"

"Small man, just follow your lord's orders."

"Listen to me? I'll tell you... I'll tell you!"

Li Yu saw that Daniel was only thinking about eating meat, so he couldn't help but raised his right foot and kicked Daniel's ass.

Li Yu didn't really hit people with all his strength, it was just a joke between master and servant.

Daniu was originally 1.9 meters [-] tall, since he followed Li Yu as a follower, he obeyed Li Yu's words and was very loyal.

Li Yu is not a stingy person, and he values ​​Daniu and Zeng Gui very much.

Da Niu's food has improved dozens of times compared to his previous ones.
The mutton can make him full, and he eats a mouthful of oil every day.

After these days, I have worked hard to make wine, and my whole body is full of solid muscles.
On a day in November, the wind was biting cold, so Da Niu only wore two shirts. Because of the fever from running, he opened the clothes on his chest, revealing a pair of strong pectoralis major muscles.

He never avoided Lang Jun kicking his ass, he knew that Lang Jun was just playing with him.

Besides, even if Lang Jun tried his best, it's not like scratching an itch!
Daniel is really thinking about going to the Duke’s mansion to eat meat. At noon, the dry food that this big guy eats on the road is just some water. Daniel has a big appetite, and he has been hungry for a long time. I just went to inquire about the wine shop All right, I ran down in a circle and the dry food at noon disappeared completely.

"Li Yu was in a good mood after kicking Daniel, and muttered; "When we go back to the Duke's Mansion to eat and drink, we will come back.
When the time comes, the people will all go back, who will we sell this wine to?
Knowing to eat, eat, eat all day long, without a brain! "

The servants who were walking next to him couldn't help laughing when they heard the owner say that he would go back to eat and then come to sell wine.

It made Daniel lower his head, he was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of returning to the Duke's mansion again!
When everyone came to the East Market, Li Yu found the inside of the West Gate, a few hundred meters away, and there happened to be a vacant space, so he ordered his subordinates to stop a row of carriages.

Zeng Gui tied his horse to a nearby stake, went to the last car, and took down a folding table that had been prepared earlier.

This is Li Yutuo, the eldest son of the Patriarch Gongshu. He made it for him. It has been prepared for a few days.
Originally, he thought that he would take out his distilled liquor and set up a stall to exchange some money, so as to see the market situation.

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Liu brewed fine wine so quickly. When he came back to Chang'an, he brought this folding table with him.

This table is folded up, square and square, and placed in the carriage, it does not take up much space. When it is stretched out, it is half the size of the Eight Immortals table. Put some wine bottles, and the wine jars are more than enough.

"Put the table here, put it here, Da Niu, you guys, take twenty of those one-jin white wine jars,

Hurry up, don't dawdle, there will be meat for you to eat when you return to the Duke's mansion at night, don't forget that we brought the cook with us, hurry up and work. "

After the carriage came to a complete stop, Rong Niang and the four maidservants who served Li Yu also got out of the carriage and stood beside Li Yu.

Zeng Gui, together with a servant who had a son, carried out another grand master's chair from the last carriage.

Li Yu sat down generously and turned a group of servants around.

The place Li Yu chose belongs to the west gate of Dongshi. There are two west gates, one in the south and one in the north.
Li Yu is at the west gate to the north, a few hundred meters away, setting up a stall!

The reason for choosing this place, Li Yu felt, is that there are many people entering and leaving the East City, and the flow of people is very large, which is convenient for doing business.

The last time he brought dozens of carts of Eight Immortal Tables and Taishi Chairs, it was his first time to do business in Chang'an City, dreaming of selling thousands of guan, but in the end he didn't make a lot of money, and the group of generals divided it all up.

This time Li Yu learned his lesson and stopped going to the Duke's mansion to do business, and went directly to the East City.

If you give me money, I will sell it, and if you don’t give me money, I will leave. We will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Finally, a large jar of wine and twenty small jars were placed on the table, and two or three ceramic bowls were placed for the guests to taste.

Zeng Guicai turned around, "Mr. Sir, how much should we ask for this white wine, a catty and a jar? Please show me, sir."

"How much do you want? My lord, do the math. The best wine in Chang'an City is ten thousand yuan, a big bucket, and this bucket is just over ten catties..."

"I want to report to you, sir, one fight is ten catties, and one catty is 16 taels. You are not in your early years, sir, it's ten catties!"

Daniu listened to Lang Jun's calculation and said that a bucket of wine was more than ten catties, and he was afraid that Lang Jun would make a mistake, so he kindly reminded him.

"I know, as long as you talk a lot, my husband's algorithm is different from yours, so you have to think it over carefully.
What is 16 taels per catty?More than ten taels a catty is easy to calculate, but if you have to get more than six taels, it is really troublesome. "

"Yes, yes, then Mr. Lang, you are yours, as long as the villain doesn't intervene."

Daniu was very puzzled. This weight is 16 taels, and it has been like this since he was born.

Why do you want to become twelve?Wouldn't that be short of weight?

And it would be less than ten taels. If this kind of business can be done for a long time, his surname will not be Niu.

While the master and servant were still bickering, the people coming and going gathered around a dozen people,
One of the burly men laughed and said, "Who are you, young man, are you good or not? How much do you pay for a catty of water and wine?"

"Yeah, yeah, this has been on display for a while, and how much it costs per catty is not worth it. I guess it's just for fun."

Another man in his early 30s chimed in.

A woman also replied, "Isn't it? Look at this young gentleman, he is wearing silk and satin, he is serving with four pretty maids, and he also leads a group of servants. He is not here for business. Didn't you just come here to find a prankster?"

Since Li Yu was pointed and pointed like a monkey by the people around him, he also became a little impatient.

"Daniu, you are not allowed to eat meat tonight, you are only allowed to eat steamed buns, which will make me confused."
