Chapter 28 Wine Tasting
That night, Zhao Feng invited a banquet for civil officials and military generals in the prefect's office. Except for Dian Wei, no one knew what Zhao Feng's move was for. Although he was not rich enough, he still invited everyone in such a big banquet. Isn't this a brain?
"Mr. Zhongde, Zhicai, Fengxiao, Yunchang, Yide, Zilong, Shanjun, Wenze, today, I invite everyone to have a drink!" Zhao Feng smiled mysteriously.
"Lord, what's the point of treating this wine? If you ask me, it's better to send us five jars per person!" Xi Zhong said.
"Hmph! You talk too much, I'll find some time to soak you in the wine jar one day!" Zhao Feng glared at Xi Zhong.
"Hehe, lord! You must tell me something today. I came here after receiving your notification. I still haven't finished my work!" Xi Zhong ignored Zhao Feng's dissatisfaction and continued.
"Brother Zhicai, this is your fault. If you want to drink, who doesn't know you?" Guo Jia said at this time.
"No one thinks you are a mute if you don't speak!" Xi Zhong glared at his good friend speechlessly. He always slandered at critical moments. Is this still the quality that good friend should possess?
"Hahaha!" With the funnyness of the two, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Okay, what I want to treat everyone is a very special wine." Zhao Feng smiled wickedly and picked up a jar of wine from under the table and slowly opened the lid on the jar.
"Isn't this just ordinary wine? What's the matter..." Xi Zhong's words came to an abrupt end, because Zhao Feng had already opened the wine jar, and the wine smell was everywhere in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but drool. Xi Zhong was naturally no exception. He was instantly attracted by the fragrance of wine so much that he couldn't speak, and his saliva flowed to his clothes but he was completely unaware of it.
Zhao Feng poured a small cup for everyone one by one, but he skipped Xi Zhong and did not pour it for him.
"Master, we can't do this! How bad am I? Why didn't you throw me away?" Xi Zhong immediately stopped doing it!
"This is just ordinary wine. It doesn't matter whether you drink it or not. So Zhicai, you should go back to handle official duties!" Zhao Feng returned all the words of Xi Zhong just now, and then watched Xi Zhong playfully.
"Master, it's not okay if I'm wrong. Just let me take a sip, just one sip!" Xi Zhong said with saliva.
"Go and go! Look at your disgusting look!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, "Isn't it okay to give you drink? Everyone drink slowly, this wine is strong, everyone..." Before Zhao Feng finished speaking, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already drunk a whole glass of wine.
Zhang Fei's face was extremely exciting. This glass of white wine at 30 to 40 degrees entered the stomach along Zhang Fei's esophagus. The white wine burned Zhang Fei's throat, esophagus and even the stomach like a fire, making Zhang Fei's white face flush. His already big eyes widened even wider. After a long time, Zhang Fei recovered and shouted in his loud voice: "Good wine!" Guo Jia was so scared that he almost poured a glass of wine on the ground. On this side, Guan Yu's already maroon-red face turned redder! It took a long time to say "Good wine"!
"Mr. Zhongde, this wine is very strong. Don't drink it like the two of them," Zhao Feng said.
"Thank you for your reminder!" After saying that, Cheng Yu took a sip, then closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
"Melt and fragrant, with a long aftertaste. Good wine, good wine! Once this wine comes out, all the wines in the world are tasteless!" After a long time, Cheng Yu opened his eyes and expressed his comments.
"Good wine! It's really good wine! The wine I drank before was simply incomparable to this!" Guo Jia said.
"Yes, lord, is there any more? Give me two jars to go back and have a drink." Xi Zhong said.
"I won't give it to you!" Zhao Feng said, "Will you stop doing serious business every day?"
"Lord, no, I promise! No, absolutely not!" Xi Zhong promised immediately.
"I don't believe it!" Zhao Feng curled his lips. This guy is completely an alcoholic. Do you think it is possible to let the alcoholic quit drinking?
Ignoring Xi Zhong's nonsense, Zhao Feng continued to let everyone taste the wine.
"It's really a good wine!" Yu Jin said, "The mellow fragrance is rich! The fruit fragrance is everywhere!"
"Well, it's such a good thing. Such a strong wine can drive away the cold! It's so superb!" Zhao Yun said.
Everyone made their own comments on Zhao Feng's "Niu Yu Liquid", and all these comments were replaced by two words: "Good wine"!
"Mr. Zhongde! This is what I call the way to make money! How about it?" Zhao Feng said.
"Okay! The lord is really a talented person! Zhongde is ashamed of himself!" Cheng Yu said sincerely, "I wonder how the lord should price this wine and how to sell it?"
"This wine is just the first time I purified, and I plan to make several new specifications of wine jars. I plan to sell such wine for 110 yuan, half a pound, 200 yuan per pound, 385 yuan two pounds, 950 yuan five pounds, and 1800 yuan ten pounds! As for the wine that is purified twice, the price will be even more expensive!" Zhao Feng said.
You should know that the gold price in the late Han Dynasty was 480 yuan, which means that the price of this pound of wine was nearly half a gold! This is not expensive. Ordinary wine is only a few dozen yuan per pound. As for the raw material fee, it will save even more. In this way, if it can be sold well, Zhao Feng will really make a lot of money!
One night, the two jars of five kilograms of wine brought back by Zhao Feng were wiped out. Zhao Feng shook his head and walked towards the inner hall, leaving everyone to sleep in the hall.
"Xue'er? Are you not asleep yet?" When Zhao Feng returned to the room, he saw Bian Xue who was sewing under the light.
"Brother Feng hasn't come back, Xue'er can't sleep." Bian Xue said.
"Okay, don't do these things for now. I have to feel sorry for my eyes when I get tired!" Zhao Feng snatched the things in Bian Xue's hand and said.
"Don't, don't look!" Bian Xue snatched the thing back, hid behind her and shook her head with a red face.
"What's it? It's so mysterious." Zhao Feng was a little confused.
"I just can't show it to you." Bian Xue said with a red face.
"Okay, I don't look at it, can't it be okay if I don't look at it?" Zhao Feng said, "Go to sleep."
"Well, I'll go and get a basin of water to wash Brother Feng's face!" Bian Xue put the things in place, then turned around and left the house.
