Chapter 329 Chapter 329: Xu Jie sells wine【Please take a leave】
It was windy and snowy outside.
The house is warm and harmonious.
Toasts and cups staggered, pushing cups to change cups.
If Wu Xian and Qin Li were both here, they would be able to recognize that these people were either from the Tianhai family or powerful members of Wu Xian's tent. At a glance, there were more than twenty people. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food arranged by Xu Jie, and the silk and bamboo orchestra accompanied the graceful dance.
Everyone seems to be immersed, but in fact they are absent-minded.
A song is over for now, and the dancer Le Ling and others salute and leave.
The person closest to Xu Jie was the first to lose his composure, and picked a random topic as a breakthrough point to get to the point.
"The whole Tianhai is about enjoying or writing notes."
Xu Jie was also absent-minded.
Hearing the words, "How did you say that?"
The man smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Wen Zhu's family raises the best dancers. If it weren't for the good times, Wen Zhu would still hide it from people to see. Seeing it today is better than hearing it."
Xu Jie was quite upset, and acted as if he was a little drunk. He propped his cheeks with his knuckles and rolled his eyes to see the speaker clearly.
said indifferently: "How come? Is there someone who is interested?"
That person also follows the wind to make the rudder.
Hearing the displeasure in Xu Jie's words, he quickly waved his hands: "Hahaha, I don't mean that. A gentleman doesn't take what others like."
Others present were drinking tea and drinking in silence.
It’s true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.
It is very common for wealthy families to buy a few dancers Le Ling. Usually, banquets also require entertainment programs to enliven the atmosphere. If the host wants to win over or the guests are of high status, they may even let the dancers Le Ling serve the guests overnight.
However, this is not the case in every household.
People who are a little more particular will disdain this.
Xu's ancestors may have done it to gain a firm foothold in Tianhai, but Xu Jie didn't do it here. The dancer Le Ling only came out to perform at festival banquets. Not only that, Xu Jie also hated this habit of treating guests with dancers and Lelings.
Speaking out, this person really does not open any pot and lift it.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Mi, who is both talented in **** and art in the backyard of the lord Wu Xian, was bought by Xu Jie at a high price, and was begged by the lord Wu Xian the next day? Because of this, Xu Jie was despised openly and secretly, saying that he, the majestic head of the Xu family, actually used the means of offering women to exchange power and benefits. "The **** drama.
They all thought that the two were going to have a conflict.
Who knows what to do.
Ms. Mi Cian was not affected by outside rumors, she was quite loved by Wu Xian, and gave birth to two young men one after another. In recent years, few people have mentioned this matter again, but this situation, as well as the indifference in Xu Jie's words, can't help but think of it.
Someone rolled their eyes inwardly.
What's wrong with answering, answering "a gentleman doesn't take what others like", who doesn't think this is in the connotation? By the way, even the protagonist Wu Xian was shot. For a while, the atmosphere of the party was a little stiff. Fortunately, a patriarch who had a good personal relationship with Xu Jie came out to smooth things over and changed the topic to Xu Jie's experience in He Yin.
Xu Jie's complexion improved slightly.
Others also tacitly discussed the topic on He Yin, talking about things, and finally talked about those wines.
They don't care about Shen Tang, how much He Yin has changed under Shen Tang's rule, they just want to know whether the effects of those wines are real! Except for Shen Tang, only Xu Jie had this wine.
They are also aware of Xu Jie's temperament.
I cherish feathers the most, especially in business.
At the time, he joked about sending Wu Xian the grain stored in twenty granaries, and then he really gave it away.
Xu's commentary has a magical effect, so it really does.
"It's natural. I've asked several people to try it, and it can't be fake." Seeing that everyone's appetite was enough, Xu Jie clapped his hands, and two rows of maids filed in. Each of them held a golden copper jug in their hands, and the body of the jug was smooth and delicate.
This group of people don't care about food and wine, singing and dancing, if they don't have to pay attention to their manners, their **** would have been unable to sit still.
Continuing to hang your appetite is counterproductive.
I am anxious, but no one loots.
Instead, he held a small wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
The aroma of the wine is clear and tangy, and it is indeed of high quality.
But in addition to the excellent aroma of the wine, the color of the wine is clear...
Doesn't seem to be anything special.
This wine is quite different from what they imagined.
Seeing the different expressions on their faces, Xu Jie smiled, raised his glass and said, "This kind of fine wine is rare, even I only have 150 jars left in my hand, and there is not even a single jar in Shen Jun's side... Today, I invite all of you to taste together. Please—”
All the people then made a toast to Xu Jie, who was in charge.
"please!"
The mellow wine slides down the throat and rolls into the internal organs.
First thought—
This wine is indeed top grade.
There are many people present who have good wine. Only they know how many good wines they have tasted with their tongues. Even if they are so picky, they have to admit that this is indeed a good wine.
However, they didn't come for the taste of the wine.
followed by a second thought—
Wonderful!
The people who come to this party admiringly are either brave warriors or literary scholars. The wine slipped down their throats, and they turned their attention to Dan Fu. Surprised to find that there are bursts of warmth sprouting from the Danfu, spreading to the limbs along the meridians.
It was an extremely subtle and comfortable feeling.
It seems that the whole body is completely opened up, absorbing the Qi of the surrounding heaven and earth into one's body, and the circulation speed of Wen Qi/Wu Qi is accelerated. Although the effect is not very obvious, it is scary enough! Suddenly someone put down the wine glass with a bang.
asked: "Wen Zhu still has one hundred and fifty altars in his hand?"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "Yes."
He didn't ask for more.
After all, there are still so many big-tailed wolves on the scene, but many people are anxious to ask for thirty altars. Their talents and family backgrounds have shortcomings, which are not enough compared to other giants. How many jars?
Xu Jie smiled and said, "This is impossible."
The man took another step back when he heard it: "Twenty-five altars!"
Xu Jie had no choice but to explain with a wry smile: "It's not a question of how many altars there are. Shen Jun's ability is limited, coupled with the fact that he invested a lot of energy in rebuilding Heyin, and he didn't have much effort to brew wine last year, coupled with the tight budget and low output, the total talent That's a little bit. If it's all divided at once, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shen Jun to explain. Shen Jun is annoyed, so I won't sell me this year's wine."
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but agree with Qin Li.
Qin Li's words still make sense.
Since there is a good recipe for brewing wine, you can just grab it. How much to brew is not up to you. After searching for it, it is tight. One hundred and fifty altars are not enough for his family. But this idea can only be thought in the heart, not to mention that the lord Wu Xian will not agree to do this, even if he agrees, who knows what restrictions are there on brewing this wine? It is impossible to produce unlimited output of such spirit wine.
If this is the case, it is useless to grab it.
Others said: "How can there be so few?"
Another person: "Could it be that Shen Jun stole the annotation?"
Xu Jie couldn't help laughing at this question.
Cheat him?
He has been at the helm of Xu's business for many years, and he has always been the only one who has played tricks on others. He is not as good as other literary scholars when it comes to making suggestions, but who can be better than him when it comes to business ethics?
Xu Jie naturally knew that Shen Tang had more than these wines.
He said this to increase the value of the wine in his hand. It is necessary to know that rare things are more expensive, and it is not surprising that even the best things are flooded. There is a difference between earning one hundred taels for one jar of wine and earning one hundred taels for one jar of wine!
Tianhai is not a poor place like Heyin.
Naturally, the strength of each family is not comparable to those of the poor who only know how to fish. The money can afford it.
Xu Jie has already calculated the bottom line of each family in his heart.
It's just that regret and embarrassment are also displayed on the face.
"Can't finish all at once?"
Someone noticed Xu Jie's words.
Is it possible to sell them in batches?
Xu Jie said: "I discussed with Shen Jun. Shen Jun meant to sell ten altars at a time, but the price is not easy to grasp - after all, all those who have had this effect before are cherishing precious materials. After thinking about it, I set it up. A reserve price of twelve taels."
"Ten altars and ten taels?"
This is equivalent to giving away for nothing.
Everyone secretly thought how could Xu Jie do such a business?
This guy is not a kind and generous master.
as expected-
"No, no, the base price is ten taels, but the final price depends on how the buyer bids. The higher bidder wins." This kind of bidding method is not uncommon.
Everyone looked at each other and looked around.
Those who originally came to operate in the dark with the idea of family friendship and personal relationship are also heartbroken. If it is purely based on financial resources... what's the use of it? The capable ones can be swallowed whole.
At this time, someone with a weaker family foundation asked in a low voice, "How much more can this wine... be produced this year?"
There are other competitors, this batch is hard to get.
But if there is a lot of output this year—
Maybe get a chance to buy some.
Xu Jie said ambiguously: "It's hard to say, after all, Shen Jun is the governor of Heyin County, and he has to deal with several stacks of official affairs every day, and Heyin lacks various materials. Shangxin... I guess it won't be too much?"
Everyone: "..."
Can’t Shen Jun squat at home and make wine?
The spiritual wine brewed by Shen Jun has benefited warriors with courage and literati, and it has also indirectly benefited countless common people?
What kind of sheriff are you going to be?
Squat in the winery as long as you are not tired!
For a moment, everyone's expressions were all kinds of exciting.
Xu Jie seemed to be understanding and persuaded everyone: "Although this wine has a magical effect, it is not a panacea. It doesn't affect anything."
The price should be high, but not too high.
After all, it is too high, the protagonist Wu Xian should have some objections.
It is inevitable that Wu Xian will feel jealous, thinking that he is betraying and collaborating with the enemy, collecting money for Shen Tang in the name of wine, and Qin Li is still staring at him. Xu Jie only wanted to make money, not die. He knew how to measure and would not easily cause trouble for his upper body.
When everyone heard this, their brains cooled down a little.
Xu Jie's words are not unreasonable.
only-
It’s also running. It’s less labor-intensive to be pushed from behind by the wind than to run against the wind. This wine is that “wind”.
For people with excellent or poor talent, this wine is not very useful - for the former, it is just to enjoy the appetite and nourish the body by the way, for the latter, it is useless, but for people with mediocre talent, it is not good. So for those who can achieve a qualitative change in one breath, who would not be tempted?
No one can not be moved.
———
"Ten altars were bought by someone for four hundred and sixty taels?"
On the evening of the second day, Wu Xian returned to the backyard to sit with Mrs. Zheng after he was busy, and soaked his feet to rest. Not long after sitting down, he received today's big event—today's ten jars of wine were sold after several rounds of price increases. To four hundred and sixty taels.
Madam Zheng was lowering her head and counting the expenses in the backyard, when she heard this, she was surprised: "What kind of wine is forty-six taels a jar?"
Hey... I don't know if I'm in heat
Keep calling me today...
