Chapter 72 Merchants come, expensive wine
"General Sheng brought this wine himself." The madam said it anxiously.
"General Sheng? That General Sheng!"
"There is also that General Sheng in Hexi County. Of course, it is the General Sheng who made Yun Xiang Yi Shang Hua Xiang Rong!"
"General Sheng can also make wine?"
"What a pity, what a waste, what a waste, such a good and peerless wine was beaten."
In an elegant pavilion on the second floor.
Li Xunhuan said with a smile: "Interesting! Good tricks."
"Yes, very beautiful!" Lin Tian looked like a pig brother.
"I came back to my senses, the fairy has left." Li Xunhuan said with a smile.
"Brother Li, who do you think is more beautiful, this fairy Qin Yao or Liu Shishi in the capital?" Lin Tian said.
"Both are beautiful, each has its own merits." Li Xunhuan said.
"If I marry one of them, I will have no regrets in my life." Lin Tian said with a face full of longing.
"Then your father can break your legs."
......
"General Sheng is amazing. With a little trick, he can create such an effect. It seems that this wine will be famous all over the world." Qin Yao said with a smile.
"Fairy Qin Yao praised you." Sheng Huaian smiled modestly.
The destination was reached, and Sheng Huaian quickly said goodbye to Qin Yao and left.
Wang Wu and County Magistrate Chen were reluctant to leave, but unfortunately Qin Yao didn't even look at them.
After leaving Yanliu Tower, Xiao Chuyi said lightly: "I thought you were going to spend a good night with Fairy Qin Yao."
Sheng Huaian glanced at Xiao Chuyi: "Am I that kind of person? I am a gentleman, never lingering in brothels, and I am loyal in love. I am a peerless good man. I am a peerless good man."
"Ugh..."
Xiao Chuyi made a vomiting gesture and left.
"Hey, Xiao Batian, if I don't kill you one day, I won't be surnamed Sheng." Sheng Huaian couldn't help saying.
After coming out of Yanliu Tower and regaining consciousness, County Magistrate Chen said leisurely:
"If you kill her, your life will end."
"Old Chen, tell me his background and see if I can afford to offend him now." Sheng Huaian said.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me." County Magistrate Chen shook his head and left.
"Mysterious, can his background be stronger than the emperor?" Sheng Huaian was disdainful. When he breaks through the Martial Saint, he dares to tease the current empress.
After Xiao Chuyi and County Magistrate Chen left, only a few personal soldiers and Wang Wu followed Sheng Huaian.
"This fairy Qin Yao is so beautiful, brother Huaian, you must bring me with you next time you come." Wang Wu said.
"Let's talk about it next time."
"Don't, we are brothers who have been through life and death together."
"Then it depends on your performance."
......
The next day, early in the morning.
Sheng Huaian had just finished practicing and washed up when his subordinates came to report that a wealthy businessman wanted to see him.
The two brothers Hu Yan and Hu Xue were also in Yanliu Tower last night. They naturally knew that the appearance of the peerless wine last night was a huge business opportunity.
The two brothers are from the Hu family in the city. The Hu family started their business and became a noble merchant.
After seeing the huge business opportunity, the two brothers could not sleep all night and came to wait outside the military camp early this morning.
Not only their family came, but also several families in the city who started their business.
These noble merchants have hostility in their eyes. They are now competitors.
Sheng Huaian listened to the report of his subordinates and smiled. Look, these merchants came here just because they smelled the smell.
He did not want to leave the other party alone. After washing up, he came to the gate of the military camp.
"General Sheng!"
"General!"
A group of merchants saluted.
"Okay, no need to be polite. This is not a place to talk. Let's go. Follow me to the wine shop and talk at the wine shop." Sheng Huaian said.
"General Sheng is right."
Everyone followed Sheng Huaian to the wine shop. Two hundred soldiers patrolled the wine shop and surrounded the entire wine shop tightly. Outsiders could not enter at all.
Under the leadership of Sheng Huaian, Hu Yan, Hu Xue and others entered the wine shop. Sheng Huaian naturally would not take these people to the back to watch the wine making, but entertained everyone in the front hall.
"Everyone, I know why you are here. Now, the wine is here. You can try it first." Sheng Huaian brought up both wines.
"Then we will be thick-skinned and try it first." Zhang Yachun said. He was the negotiation representative sent by the Zhang family.
The moment the wine was poured out, the fragrance overflowed, and everyone showed an intoxicated look.
"Good wine, this is the fragrance."
"Such a fragrant wine is really rare in the world." Everyone praised.
"Is this the green ant wine? It is indeed dozens of times better than ordinary wine."
After tasting it, everyone's eyes lit up, thinking in their hearts that they must get this wine.
"Try this one." Sheng Huaian opened another jar of Xifeng Lie.
"The aroma is even stronger. I think it's one of the wines from yesterday."
Sheng Huaian poured it for everyone, and everyone couldn't wait to drink it all in one gulp.
"Ah..."
"So spicy, so strong."
This was everyone's first impression.
"General, what is this wine called? It's a very strong wine, a peerless wine." Hu Yan asked with shining eyes.
"This wine is called Xifeng Lie, and the one you drank before was called Green Ant." Sheng Huaian answered.
Since everyone called that wine Green Ant, let's call it Green Ant.
"Xifeng Lie? Good name, good wine."
Everyone couldn't help but praise it. This kind of wine is simply unique in the world.
"We've tasted the wine, now let's talk about the price. I brewed the wine to sell it and save money for military expenses." Sheng Huaian said.
Everyone looked at each other.
Sheng Huaian himself didn't say the price, obviously wanting them to bid.
It seems that this young general is not only good at fighting, but also has a good business sense.
"How about thirty taels of silver per jar of Green Ant and forty taels of silver per jar of West Wind?" One of them took the lead in making an offer.
"Old Feng, are you so reluctant to give a price? I'll give forty taels for a jar of Green Ant and fifty taels for a jar of West Wind."
"Yes, we are willing to pay this price." Another person looked at Sheng Huaian and said.
Others did not speak, but looked at Sheng Huaian's reaction. This price for a jar of wine was already very high.
You know, a jar of wine is only two or three pounds.
Sheng Huaian said lightly: "I only sell this wine exclusively, and the price that satisfies me will win."
Everyone's heart sank after hearing this. They didn't expect that Sheng Huaian had this idea. He wanted to do exclusive business.
"I don't produce much of this wine, so I won't sell it in large quantities. Think it over before you make a bid."
"I can offer 70 taels for Green Ant Wine, and 100 taels for West Wind." Zhang Yachun made up his mind and made a bid.
Sheng Huaian didn't say anything, but looked at everyone with a calm face.
Obviously, Sheng Huaian was not very satisfied with the price, but others didn't dare to bid.
If they took it, they would have to sell it for at least 150 taels to make a profit.
But how many people are willing to spend 150 taels to buy a jar of wine?
This is the border, not the capital.
The Hu brothers looked at each other and made up their minds.
"General, we will offer 100 taels for Green Ant Wine and 200 taels for West Wind." Hu Yan gritted his teeth and said.
When the price was announced, everyone looked at the Hu brothers and couldn't help but give them a thumbs up. They were ruthless people.
Dare to offer such a high price, aren't you afraid of losing all your family assets?
"Is there anyone who wants to bid? If not, I will give them the right to buy the wine." Sheng Huaian glanced at everyone.
The others were silent. They could not afford such a high price, nor did they dare to.
"Then please go back first." Sheng Huaian made a gesture of invitation.
Except for the two Hu brothers, everyone else left the winery.
After coming out, someone said, "Hey, the two Hu brothers are really brave."
"To buy the wine at such a high price, even if it is a rare wine, if it cannot be sold, the Hu family will probably go bankrupt."
"Just wait and see, hehe."
"That's right, I still don't believe it. Such expensive wine, if it can't be sold, it will be stuck in my hands. I wonder if he will lower the price."
Zhang Yachun did not speak and left silently. He wanted to compete with the Hu brothers, but the Hu brothers raised the price too high and too harshly. He didn't have the courage.
After everyone left, only the two Hu brothers were left.
"How much can you two eat?" Sheng Huaian stared at the two.
Facing Sheng Huaian's gaze, the two felt very stressed.
"General, we plan to buy 2,000 jars of Green Ant Wine and 1,000 jars of West Wind Lie. I don't know..." Hu Yan said cautiously.
He said that the number was not much, for fear that Sheng Huaian would be angry.
After hearing this number, Sheng Huaian smiled with satisfaction. Seeing Sheng Huaian smile, the two Hu brothers finally settled down.
"Okay, but I won't default. I'll settle the bill immediately. You can take the wine away." Sheng Huaian said with satisfaction.
2,000 jars of Green Ant, 100 taels per jar, is 200,000 taels of silver, 1,000 jars of West Wind Lie, 200 taels per jar, also 200,000 taels of silver.
A total of 400,000 taels of silver, this profit has broken through the sky.
The cost of labor is less than 10,000 taels of silver, which is indeed a huge profit.
