Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 284 Wine

The fire cloud suddenly changed color, and the heavy rain came. Everyone said that the rain was the lover of late autumn, but when the two of them were bored, Qin Hao always felt cold from the bone.

The most suitable thing for autumn rainy days is to eat hot pot. Qin Hao specially made it like the copper pots of later generations. He asked the chef to cut a few catties of beef and mutton and warm a pot of old wine. Accompanied by mushrooms, cabbage, noodles, and Put a little bit of seafood in the pot and dip it in the sesame sauce made by yourself, and immediately feel as if your body is warming up.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Qin Hao couldn't help frowning. It was rare to have a meal with Li Xin, Xiaodie, Xiaoyun, and Sun Er's family. If it wasn't for the heavy rain, they would rarely have such an opportunity, but they still couldn't help being disturbed by outsiders. It was a bit disappointing.

Qin Hao's mansion is a courtyard with three entrances. Xu Jie's family and Su Dingfang, an old bachelor, live in the first two entrances. General guests will be notified at the gate. If they can directly knock on the door of their courtyard, they are probably familiar with the thief. Acquaintances, or big bosses with special identities who are not reported at all.

There was a bang, and the gate of the yard was pushed open at once, and a man wearing a coir raincoat, whose face could not be seen, barged in directly, making Xiaodie and Sun Er's frown deepen, after all, it was already a bit dull Be polite, but it was Qin Hao and Li Xin who looked at each other and smiled wryly, because they had already recognized who it was.

Li Chengqian didn't care how bad his feet were, he entered the dining room with water all over his body, hugged Qin Hao and said, "Good brother! Good brother! It's up! It's up! It's finally up!"

Qin Hao pushed him away in disgust, and didn't know why he didn't even bring a bodyguard when the dignified prince came out to visit, so he wiped the water stains on his body with a silk cloth in disgust and said, "Calm down, what's up?" ?”

"Yanyin! Gu just came back from the East Market, and now the price of this Yanyin has risen to [-]%, and still can't receive it. The people are all in their pockets and no one is selling it. They are waiting for when If it can go up a little further, those who sell at [-]% to [-]% don’t mention how angry they are, I heard that some of them committed suicide.”

Qin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that there was something wrong with him, a dignified prince, coming here in a hurry, and it was because of this for a long time.

Poured him a pot of hot wine, Qin Hao said: "It's only [-]%, as for you, the house that my father-in-law and other princes broke in is worth tens of millions, plus those princes and nobles It is strange that their various small actions do not rise. [-]% is just the beginning. When people find that [-]% is not sold by anyone, it will naturally rise to [-]%. If the price has risen, you will inevitably wait for [-]% of the illusion, and there is a saying that you should buy up and not buy down, and this is the truth.”

Li Chengqian picked up a small glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp. It is indeed comfortable to drink warm wine in the cold weather. He didn't treat himself as an outsider, and directly ordered his servants to ask for a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and started eating on the table.

"Yo, beef, this is a good thing. You have to sneak around even to eat it alone. You really deserve to be a gifted scholar. It feels like you are playing with your hands on this big thing. Now send someone to eat it." Staring at the East and West cities, and asking them to report the price eight times every hour, I haven’t slept well for several nights, and Fang Xiang’s side is not too different, but you still have the leisure to eat hot pot.”

"Hehe, I set up the bureau myself, of course I know it well, besides, how can there be so many people under my mere white skills, it's almost enough for Sun Er to report to me once a day, hey, don't just patronize the beef , eat some mutton, this kind of clear water pot dipped in sesame sauce is better than mutton, and beef is more suitable for Jiugongge."

Li Chengqian ate and drank non-stop, and said while eating: "Okay, you are so powerful, you should calm down, you will not change your color before the collapse of Mount Tai, let's do it, what is Jiugongge?"

"Since I've taken all the shots, I'm naturally satisfied with just [-]%. You just wait and see, I'll restore him to [-]% in a few days. Well, this Jiugongge... I don't know if I can still eat it in this life. Arrived."

Although hot-boiled mutton is also a classic, Qin Hao always thinks that Jiugongge tastes better, but Sichuan pot cannot be separated from chili peppers, which are far away in the Americas. How long does it take to mature.

"You still have a trick? Why doesn't Gu know, so don't play tricks with Gu."

Qin Hao smiled and said: "It's not a secret, it's just that the timing was not ripe before. It just so happened that you came today. It's better to come early than coincidentally. Just wait for me a little bit."

After saying that, Qin Hao went down to the cellar alone, and when he came back, he was holding a huge wine jar, while Li Xin, Xiaodie, Sun Er, Xiao Yun and others had already obediently eaten and sat down at the table. After all, what my master and the prince are talking about is world affairs, and they are somewhat in the way here.

"What are you doing with such a big wine jar?"

A good family dinner was ruined like this, which made Qin Hao very angry, so he poured half of the wine in Li Chengqian's glass half as a prank and half out of anger, and opened it. He poured out more than half a cup of the sealing clay of his jar for him.

"Try it."

The tip of Li Chengqian's nose trembled, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It smells so good, this is the wine you brewed yourself? I really didn't expect you to have this skill. I really don't know what else in the world you don't know."

With that said, Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and then. . . .

"Pfft~~~~~!! So spicy! So spicy! Oh my god, it's so spicy to me, this...this...is this wine? How can it be so strong."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "This wine is called Qianjunzui. I named it myself. It's not bad."

Li Chengqian's eyeballs were burning red, but he still stretched out his tongue and licked it cautiously. He frowned while licking and said, "Yes, it's really good wine. What's the matter with this salt?"

Qin Hao said with a smile: "The reason why salt is expensive is because the imperial court strictly controls it. Like salt, it is controlled by the imperial court but everyone can't do without wine. Although this strong wine is good, it is steamed three times and brewed three times. , It is a waste of food, as long as the imperial court controls it a little, it will be difficult for outsiders to imitate, and even in the future there will be nine steamed and nine brewed or even nine steamed and eighteen brewed top-quality wines, the cost of food is days, as long as the imperial court is willing, this A high-level bootleg wine must be less than bootleg salt."

"You mean... exchange salt for wine?"

"That's right. This year, Guanzhong is ripe, the Central Plains is abundant, and Yangzhou and Yizhou are piled up with grain. If wine can be brewed on a large scale, it will be able to offset the indiscriminate use of salt. As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters. I have already called I invited the head of the Qing Gang to come to Chang'an for a meeting, so I, the Qing Gang, will make this wine, and we will distribute the wine for the time being, especially after the wine has a high alcohol content to keep out the cold, those Dangxiang and Qiang vassals have so much salt in their hands Yin is still waiting to come to the Central Plains to exchange things, and it is appropriate to use this thing to kill them."
