In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 20 The Price of Wine
Looking at the blue and alluring flames, Changsun Wuji couldn't believe it.

He walked up to the flames and stretched out his hand to try it.

"Hiss...it really is fire."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Uncle, be careful, be careful not to burn your beard. Haha..."

Li Ke made a small joke, but no one laughed.

At this moment, everyone's attention is on this bowl of fire.

Li Shimin couldn't believe it either, so he got down from his high position and tried it with his hands.

It was finally confirmed that it was real fire.

Li Ke went up and covered the burning bowl with another bowl, and the flames gradually went out.

"How about it. Uncle, you won't renege on the 2000 mu of land, will you?"

Changsun Wuji's face was very ugly, and he asked, "How did you do it? Is it a blindfold or a demon?"

That's right, everyone in the audience thought so, including Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

How could the water be able to burn, it must be some kind of blindfolded by this kid.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Uncle, it's meaningless for you to say that. This wine can really burn. If you don't believe me, you can find other people to try it, and it can still be done."

"Haha, I'm coming..."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and stood up.He was really curious and wanted to try himself, could he light this thing?

No one objected.

Wang De took a lighted candle and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin with piercing eyes.

Cheng Yaojin took the candle and carefully put a little on the bowl.

With just a cry, the wine in the bowl started to burn.

It was still the blue flame, still beating so coquettishly.

This scene stunned everyone.

This, this can really burn?
Everyone knows that wine itself is water.But why can it burn?It's really strange.

In the end, Changsun Wuji ordered it himself.Still lighted up easily.

Li Ke smiled and said, "Uncle, are you speechless now? When will the 2000 mu of land be cashed in?"

Changsun Wuji had a bitter look on his face, as if he had been fooled by this kid.

But now, in front of so many witnesses, he couldn't refuse.

He could only say: "Okay, I am willing to admit defeat, and when I get back, I will have the land deed delivered to your residence.

However, you have violated Datang's prohibition on alcohol and sold it privately. You should have nothing to say about this, right? "

If you lose, you lose, and he is willing to gamble and admit defeat.However, he couldn't let this kid go.

Li Ke said: "Then I will thank Uncle here. As for the prohibition you said, if I remember correctly, the Tang Dynasty stipulated that grain cannot be used to make wine.

My wine is not made from grain at all.So, your ban on alcohol can't punish me at all,"

"What? How is this possible?"

Above the lobby, there was one counted as one, and everyone was shocked.

Changsun Wuji said angrily, "Impossible. His Royal Highness the King of Shu, everyone knows that wine is made from grain. How can you brew wine without grain?"

Li Ke was not nervous at all. He cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Father, you provided the materials for my wine making. That is, those things that I ask you to send to my house every day. Can you now?" Prove to me that the material I use is not grain."

After being reminded by Li Ke, Li Shimin finally remembered.There was also a gratified smile on his face.

In this day and age, many people can't get enough to eat.

In this case, if Li Ke used grain to make wine, Li Shimin would not be happy.

Now knowing that Li Ke used distiller's grains, it must be no problem.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, I can prove that the material Li Ke uses to make wine is not grain."

"what?"

Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded.

The ministers couldn't believe it at all.

Changsun Wuji said: "It's impossible to make your Majesty, how could the wine not be made from grain?"

This one.

Li Shimin was a little speechless, he didn't want to tell everyone about the distiller's lees energy wine.

This is something Li Ke has researched, and it is the secret recipe of their Li family.If this is told to others...

Li Ke said: "Uncle, let me tell you! What I really use is not grain, but the distiller's grains that my father gave me. Now, you have nothing to say, right?"

Yes, Li Shimin was worried, but Li Ke was not worried at all.

He sent people out to collect the lees every day, and there was no way this thing could be hidden.

What's wrong with saying it?In a short period of time, these people have no way to research it.Because the distillation method is simply not something people in this era can understand.

"This……"

Changsun Wuji was choked quite uncomfortable.

The 2000 mu of land has been exported, but there is nothing to do with the boy.How can this work?

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Then you sell the wine in the court hall and disturb the court hall. You should have nothing to say about this, right?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "Of course I have something to say. First of all, I promised my father that he would give me wine lees, and I would give him a surprise.

This is the surprise I want to give him.Father, tell me, are you surprised or not? "

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's a pleasant surprise. From now on, it's okay to send 1000 catties of wine to the palace every day, right?"

Li Ke's face darkened, and he quickly said: "Father, this is impossible. My daily production is only a few hundred catties, how can I send 1000 catties to the palace every day?"

Li Shimin said: "Then let's take 500 catties a day. This, is there no problem at all?"

Li Ke said: "There is no problem with this, but Father, my wine is very expensive."

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said, "What do you mean? Give me wine, and you still charge money?"

Li Ke rolled his eyes and said, "Father, it's okay to give you a few hundred catties. However, the production of my wine requires cost.

It has to be delivered every day. If you don't give me money, I will stop giving birth soon.At that time, what can I bring to you? "

Li Shimin knew that Li Ke would say that, nodded and asked, "Then how much is your price for this wine?"

Li Ke said: "It's not expensive. The two pots of wine cost a catty. The second pot of wine costs a catty all the way."

bang.

Everyone was stunned and anxious all of a sudden.

Two pennies a catty of wine, do you call this expensive?

This is not expensive anymore, okay?This is sky-high.

That's right, Li Ke just wants to make money from the rich.

The poor people in Datang are really poor, the kind who are so poor that they have nothing to eat.

But the rich people in Datang are really rich.From money to gold and silver treasures are all stored in boxes.

Therefore, Li Ke wanted to dig out the money from them.Let it circulate.

Li Shimin was also shocked by the price quoted by Li Ke, and his face was so dark that it was ugly.

This brat is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!It's so expensive to sell wine to my father.

However, as the emperor.But he couldn't bargain with Li Ke like a street vendor.
