The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

The successful brewing of wine gave Du Rui a little more confidence to live well in this era. This life is different from his previous life. In Du Rui's previous life, although the etiquette collapsed and the morality collapsed, he still paid attention to the rule of law. An ordinary There is also a path for people to follow if they want to become a master through their own efforts.But now that people are born in this era, no matter what they do, they all pay attention to their family background, especially merchants. It is basically impossible to gain recognition and respect in this era.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and society have been divided into social classes for thousands of years during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Although Du Rui had thousands of ways to live a good life for himself and his family in his mind, he had to be cautious. After all, he still Du Ruhui's concubine would be criticized if he got involved in business rashly.

Fortunately, there is a loyal servant beside Du Rui. Du Rui can safely and boldly hand over these matters to Du Zhong. The rest is to wait for the first pot of gold after rebirth.

After trying the taste of this new wine, Eucommia had enough confidence in wine making, and immediately ordered Du Gui to go out of the house to buy it. For now, Du Rui's starting capital is not sufficient, and wine making can only be done at home temporarily. Shi and his daughter-in-law Liu are in charge of the distillation step that Du Rui said, while brothers Du Pingyuan and Du Pingsheng are in charge of chopping firewood.Seeing this, the three of Ma Shi also came to help, but Du Rui and Du Zhong's master and servant refused no matter what.

After making arrangements for everyone, Du Zhong said to Du Rui: "Young master! But I don't know how much the price of this fairy wine is!"

Hearing this, Du Rui also silently calculated in his heart that he spent two full ounces of money to buy the [-] catties of rice wine before, but now, the distilled baijiu needs to be sold for two ounces per catty to keep his capital.

Thinking about it, Du Rui said, "Uncle Zhong, what do you think of this catty of distilled wine for five pennies?"

Du Zhong also thought about it in his heart. According to his understanding of wine, the wine brewed by Du Rui alone would sell for ten guan, not to mention five guan. It is also worth buying this kind of wine with clear and transparent color for ten guan.

"Young master! According to the old servant, this baijiu can be sold for ten guan! Why don't I make a mystery and only sell a hundred catties a day, and the price of each catty of wine is set at twenty guan!"

"Twenty pennies!" Du Rui couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the words. Based on his understanding of the current value of coins in the Tang Dynasty, if these twenty pennies were placed in an ordinary small family, it would be more than enough for three to five months. It's really appalling to buy liquor that costs only two pennies at ten times the price.

"Uncle Zhong! This~~~~~ is a bit high!"

Du Zhong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not high! It's not high! My young master doesn't know that there are many wealthy families in Chang'an City, and there are as many officials above the sixth rank as a cow's hair. With these people alone, the liquor in the mansion will not worry about selling. It only sells for a hundred catties a day, in order to attract those people to compare, as long as this wine is famous in Chang'an City, it will make a lot of money every day in the future, and it is definitely not a lie!"

Du Rui nodded again and again when he heard the words. Although he had read some books on economics when he was in college in his previous life, he didn't know much about business after all.

"Okay! Then everything will be Yi Zhongshu!"

People born in this era pay attention to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. As soon as the sky is dawn, the citizens of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City wake up, and the civil and military officials in the court rush to the Taiji Hall to schedule their shifts. , Ordinary people have to get up and run around for the family's livelihood.

The old mansion of Du Mansion is located in the West City of Chang'an. Most of the people gathered here are peddlers. After waking up today, the ordinary people suddenly found that there seemed to be something different. The aroma is a little drunk.

People in the Northwest are fond of wine, which has existed since ancient times, so in Chang'an City, the wine making industry is extremely developed. In his previous life, Du Rui followed his father to Xi'an. At that time, the most he saw were wine shops and restaurants. No matter men, women, old or young, they all love the things in the cup.

It's just that what people have seen the most at this time is the turbid rice wine, and the sweet but tasteless Samlejang from the Western Regions. It's the first time they have seen the smell of wine like today.

People gradually followed the smell of wine and arrived at a restaurant not far from Du's Mansion. There were more and more people gathered. When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw him, he thought that the business would be easy suddenly, so he hurriedly asked the staff to open the door for business, but when he waited When the drinks requested by the guests were spilled on the ground one after another, he finally realized that so many people were attracted by the smell of the wine.

"Shopkeeper! You have good wine in your shop, why don't you sell it to us! You're worried that we won't have money!"

"That's right, who wants you sour horse piss, I'm here for the wine, get the good wine quickly!"

The guests were noisy, and the shopkeeper was also puzzled. There are many restaurants and wineries on this street, but as far as he knows, none of them can produce that kind of fairy wine. The shopkeeper was also in a panic, and hurriedly sent the shop assistants out to inquire.

Not to mention what is going on in this restaurant, but in Du's mansion, it turns out that one hundred catties of good wine was distilled in a hurry yesterday, but they forgot how to sell it. Now Du Ruishang is in the filial piety period. According to Zhou etiquette, drinking alcohol is not allowed during the filial piety Yes, if Du Rui dared to commit crimes against the wind, people from Lai Guogong's mansion would come to fight if he didn't think he would be able to come to tomorrow.

Looking at the distilled good wine, Du Rui also burst into wry smiles. Although he was extremely smart, he really encountered a difficulty here. Seeing the first bucket of gold in front of him, he couldn't take it.

"My lord! My lord!" Du Gui suddenly barged in and shouted loudly, "There's a fight in the Drunken Immortal Building next to it!"

Seeing Du Gui's flustered look, Du Zhong, who was worrying about how to sell wine, couldn't help but scolded loudly: "Young master, there are no rules! Then what's the matter with young master Guan when the Zuixianlou fights?"

Du Rui didn't mind, and asked, "Du Gui! Then why did Zuixianlou fight!?"

Du Gui hurriedly said: "The servant just went out and saw that the Drunken Immortal Building was full of guests early in the morning, so I went over to have a look, I dare say that all the guests were attracted by the good wine in the mansion, the Drunken Immortal Tower can't take it When the wine was served, the guests started to make a fuss."

"Oh!" Du Rui heard the words, pondered for a while, and said, "Now we have it! Our baijiu is sold!"

Du Zhong hurriedly asked: "Young master! But you have an idea?"

Du Rui smiled and said: "Exactly, it's inconvenient for me to sell wine directly, but if I hand it over to others, I don't have any scruples, Uncle Zhong! You go to Zuixian Tower and invite the shopkeeper to the mansion. Talk about it."

Du Zhong also understood what Du Rui was thinking, and hurried out.

Not long after, Du Zhong brought a middle-aged man with a slumped face into the living room. It was the shopkeeper of the Zuixian Building. Originally, the youngest son of Xianlai Duke Du Ruhui lived in this deserted house, and the shopkeeper knew about it. Du Rui Although he was young, his status was not comparable to that of a businessman, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted when he entered the living room: "Young Master Du!"

Du Rui smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Feng, don't be too polite!"

After the guests and hosts were seated, the shopkeeper Feng said, "I don't know how Mr. Du called the villain to the house, what can I teach you?"

Du Rui was not in a hurry to speak, but just smiled and said, "Just because I caused so much trouble for Shopkeeper Feng today, I specially brought Shopkeeper Feng here to apologize in person."

Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly got up, not even daring to say anything, but he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure out what kind of trouble this rich bastard in front of him could cause him.

Seeing this, Du Rui said, "But I don't know what's going on in Shopkeeper Feng's shop!?"

If shopkeeper Feng still doesn't understand, he has been in business for so many years. After taking a few deep breaths, he found that the aroma of the wine was even stronger in Du's mansion, and he couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Du! That wine Is it brewed by your mansion?"

Du Rui smiled and shook his head, "No way!"

Shopkeeper Feng was immediately disappointed when he heard this.

"That's right, it's not brewed by my mansion, but it's owned by my mansion!"

Du Rui's next words immediately made Shopkeeper Feng's eyes light up.

"Master Du! But I don't know where the wine is now?"

Du Rui greeted Du Gui, whispered a few words, Du Gui went out, and returned to the living room with half a bowl of wine in his hand, and handed the wine bowl to shopkeeper Feng, who wrinkled his nose and took a few deep breaths. Immediately, he was attracted by the half bowl of wine. It was the first time he had seen such a clear and transparent wine without any green ants in it, but with a strong aroma.

Receiving Du Rui's signal, shopkeeper Feng took the half bowl of wine with trembling hands, and drank it in one gulp just like Eucommia yesterday, only to feel as if a fire snake had slipped directly from his mouth to his lower abdomen. Coughing started, and when it was finally relieved, Shopkeeper Feng had tears and snot running down his face.

"Du~~~~Young Master Du! This wine~~~~~"

Du Rui smiled as if he hadn't seen it before: "Master Feng! What do you think of this wine!?"

"Wine is strong wine, but it's too pungent. The villain has never drunk such a spicy wine." Although he said so, he couldn't help but think about it. He was in a hurry to drink just now, if not If so, he would have cheered for the wine at this moment.

Xiao Chu replied: "This wine has just come out of the oven. I don't think it will be dry. It needs to be buried in the ground for a while. The longer the time, the better the taste of the wine will be."

Shopkeeper Feng also guessed the reason why Du Rui invited him to the mansion, and couldn't help but anxiously said: "Mr. Du! I don't know this wine, do you buy it from your mansion?"

Du Rui nodded and said: "Buy is a buy, I'm afraid shopkeeper Feng can't afford it!"

"Oh! What's the price!?" Shopkeeper Feng automatically ignored the second half of Du Rui's sentence. When he heard that Du Rui was willing to sell wine, he became excited. He could imagine that if the wine came to his In the store, it will definitely cause a sensation in Chang'an, and there will be no gold and silver rolling in by then.

Du Rui didn't speak, but stretched out two fingers.

Shopkeeper Feng saw it, and although he felt that it was expensive, he still hurriedly said: "Two guan is two guan, how much wine is there in your house, the villain wants all of them!"

Du Rui shook his head and smiled, "Master Feng! Not two, but twenty!"

"What?" Shopkeeper Feng said in shock, "Twenty guan! This~~~~~This is too expensive!"

At this time, Du Zhong on the side interjected: "Not expensive! Not expensive! Shopkeeper Feng only knows one thing, but not the other! This wine is a recipe that my young master found from an ancient book, even if it is only a hundred catties a day, As the saying goes, what is rare is the most precious, if shopkeeper Feng is willing to cooperate with my young master, this wine will be here from now on~~~~~"

"To the north of the Yellow River, everything is bought and sold by Shopkeeper Feng!" Du Rui interrupted Du Zhong. bring about greater benefits.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Feng heard Du Rui say that this kind of wine could be monopolized by him in the north of the Yellow River, and he began to think about it again. As for Duzhong's statement that this kind of wine can only be sold by a hundred catties a day, he didn't believe it at all, but if this In Chang'an City, if this kind of immortal wine can only be sold for a hundred catties a day, that is a good thing. Although the price is a bit outrageous at twenty per catty, but as long as this kind of wine becomes famous in Chang'an, it will attract those If the rich and powerful families come, it will be very profitable after all.
