Chapter 21 Drunk Silver State
Zheng Yueru, who never changed her expression, was also a little furious at this moment. She pointed at the carts of wine that Liu Zheng brought and asked after a moment: "Brother Liu, are you saying that you brewed this?"
Fortunately, Zheng Yueru has good upbringing.
"Killing me……"
"You turned down Zhou's fine wine just to make your own wine?"
Everyone present burst into laughter.
Old Huang was nearby. Seeing all the excitement, he started asking what was going on. When he heard about the bizarre deeds of the most dissolute son of the county marquis in Liangzhou, he immediately poked the ground with his cane and said angrily, "Nonsense, this is just nonsense! How can this restaurant be without wine? How can there be no wine on this occasion? It's a waste of food!"
Those who came to show their support this time also laughed and shook their heads.
The young masters and masters of the other three prominent families looked at Zheng Yueru with eyes full of teasing and mockery. They all thought that the Zheng family chose to cooperate with this unreliable boy, and now they have shot themselves in the foot. Wanhua Tower has been ruined by this boy.
I asked you to please this county marquis, now you regret it, right?
Liu Zheng was stunned: "Miss Zheng, this wine is of top quality!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed and shook their heads, not believing them. The people in Yinzhou were generally used to drinking the sorghum wine produced by the Zhou family, which had a high alcohol content and a strong taste. The Zhou family's wine even sold very well in the entire Liangzhou. In front of this boss Zhou, whose wine dared to be called a fine wine?
Zhou Shixiong also laughed coldly and said, "How dare you, a young boy, talk about fine wine in front of me, Zhou?"
Everyone agreed.
Liu Zheng glanced at him and immediately understood what was going on. He laughed. Zhou Shixiong had been cooperating with Wanhualou for a long time. Wanhualou was a big customer. Consumables like alcoholic beverages could make the Zhou family earn a lot of money. But Liu Zheng ended the cooperation with the Zhou family as soon as he came up. It would be strange if they were not angry.
so……
Today he is here to cause trouble on purpose.
"Zhou family?"
Liu Zheng smiled coldly: "Is the Daozi wine from your Zhou family?"
"So what?"
Zhou Shixiong looked very proud.
Zhou's Daozi Liquor is famous far and wide. He even feels that Wanhua Tower cannot survive without his Daozi Liquor!
Liu Zheng said calmly: "The Daozi wine weighing two taels per pound is three times more expensive than ordinary muddy wine. The Zhou family is really doing a good business!"
Zhou Shixiong's face changed and he angrily shouted, "What do you know, you little brat?"
"Fine wine will naturally be much more expensive!"
Others also think that there is nothing wrong with this.
But Liu Zheng smiled coldly.
In fact, he had already seen the bill of Wanhualou. Every month, there was a large amount of expenditure on wine. The cost of Zhou's Daozi wine was too low, and there was no transportation cost, so overall, the price he paid to Wanhualou was actually too high.
The distilled liquor that Liu Zheng is currently taking out only costs fifty cents per pound, so the difference is not a little bit at all.
Zhou Shixiong laughed loudly: "County Marquis, I will stand here today to see if you will use my knife wine!"
"It's just that I can't take my one catty and two ounces of Daozi wine today!"
"Three taels!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Isn't this just raising the price?
But now it seems that there is really no good way.
"Brother Liu..."
Zheng Yueru said helplessly: "Our Fengming Building is about to reopen, why don't we take a loss..."
Her idea was that even if she suffered a little loss, she had to make a good start today, and she had to buy it for three taels of silver...
Liu Zheng was depressed: "No, I told you, I have wine here!"
"Iron Pillar, push them all in!"
"But……"
Zheng Yueru sighed, "The alcohol content of Daozi wine is very high, which is more in line with the taste of Yinzhou people."
"degree?"
Liu Zheng shook his head and smiled again. At this time, the three carts of wine had been moved in by Wei Tiezhu and others. Liu Zheng directly asked them to put them in the middle of Fengming Tower and said loudly: "Today, Fengming Tower is reopening. In order to reward new and old customers, from now on, in Fengming Tower, anyone who can drink three bowls of my Zui Yinzhou in one go will have all the expenses for that night waived!"
"What?"
Originally everyone was laughing at Liu Zheng's joke, but in an instant they were attracted by his words.
Three big bowls?
There are many people who can drink a lot these days. After all, the alcohol content of alcohol in this era is not high, which is why there are legends about people drinking three kilograms of alcohol without blushing or getting nervous. This is especially true in places like Liangzhou where the people are tough.
Zhou Shixiong sneered when he heard this: "Does this grandstanding bastard want to make Wanhua Tower lose money?"
Zheng Yueru also looked anxious when she heard this.
"Mr. Liu, are you serious?"
A big man stood up and asked with a laugh. It was obvious that he was a guy with an amazing alcohol tolerance.
"Good fellow, isn't this the Luo Master?"
"Isn't it? I heard that Master Luo from the Wang family drinks five kilograms of wine!"
"I heard he could drink a cow to death!"
People immediately exclaimed and talked about it, thinking that Master Liu was going to be slapped in the face. Three bowls of wine, adding up to only two catties, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for Master Luo?
Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Of course it counts!"
"As long as you can drink three bowls in one go, all your expenses tonight will be waived!"
"good!"
"atmosphere!"
The people in the restaurant started to make a fuss.
Zheng Yueru was standing next to Liu Zheng, she was worried to death, she even glared at Liu Zheng with some anger, thinking, you have so many tricks up your sleeve, why don't you discuss it with me?
Little did he know that this was also Liu Zheng's sudden idea.
Since the Zhou family's Knife Liquor is touted as having a high alcohol content, let's compare the alcohol content first!
"Miss Zheng, prepare to give them a free meal!"
Zhou Shixiong laughed very arrogantly.
joke……
Zhou Shixiong has been brewing wine for all these years, but he has never seen anyone who is so boastful.
"Come!"
"Pour it up for me!"
Luo, a big and strong man, came over. His size was almost the same as Wei Tiezhu who was standing next to Liu Zheng. Wei Tiezhu glanced at him with disdain and smiled coldly. This Zui Yinzhou was the fine wine brewed by their own son. These days, let alone three bowls, they would get drunk after just one bowl.
boom!
With this sound, the lid of the wine jar was opened.
Immediately, a strong aroma of wine began to permeate the entire restaurant, strong, crisp, and pure!
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Oh my god, why does it smell so good?"
"this……"
Many people were stunned and dizzy by the smell. Even Mr. Huang, who had just scolded Liu Zheng for being ridiculous, stood up with his cane, walked over tremblingly, sniffed the charming aroma of the wine, and couldn't help but praise: "Why is this aroma so mellow? I have only drunk this kind of wine once in Jinghua!"
Zheng Yueru was also stunned. She owned a restaurant, so naturally she knew a lot about wine.
Just the smell can make so many people intoxicated, how bad can this wine be? For a moment, everyone looked at Liu Zheng with different eyes.
Could it be that this young man really made some fine wine?
"this……"
Zhou Shixiong is especially so at this moment.
And when Wei Tiezhu poured out the bowl of wine, he was even more devastated.
I saw that bowl of wine, as clear as spring water, crystal clear, as if it was rain from heaven, and even more delicious than it. The wine was in a bowl at this moment, and one can imagine that if the wine was in a more luxurious wine glass, it would surely be even more beautiful.
The entire restaurant fell silent.
An idea emerged in everyone's mind.
Is this water?
If it wasn't water, how could it be so clear and transparent?
But if it was water, why did the smell of alcohol make people so intoxicated?
"This is the fine wine I just brewed, named 'Zuiyinzhou'. It's very strong. Master Luo, you have to be careful!" Liu Zheng introduced.
Coach Na Luo didn't believe it, laughed and picked up the bowl of wine.
The eyes of the whole audience were instantly focused on him. Many people had already started to drool. It was a blessing to be able to drink a glass of such fine wine!
Gulp gulp!
Master Luo raised his head to drink. After a few sips, his face immediately turned red, and his eyes showed surprise: "Good wine, haha, good wine!"
“Come again!”
Pour the second bowl.
This time, Coach Luo gulped it down again.
"good!"
"readily!"
"This is the kind of wine that really burns the tongue and throat! Again, again... again!"
However, with a thud, Master Luo fell headfirst to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
The whole audience was shocked.
This Master Luo got drunk after only two bowls?
"I'll try!"
"And I!"
This time, Wei Tiezhu was not overwhelmed by them. He laughed coldly and said, "The rules remain the same. If you can drink three bowls, the bill is free!"
"But if you can't drink, you can't pay a penny less for the wine!"
Zheng Yueru was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Liu, this wine, this wine...how do you want to price it?"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "In Yinzhou, ten taels per catty."
Good job!
This price is not low!
But Zheng Yueru quickly caught the other meaning in Liu Zheng's words.
In Yinzhou, ten taels per pound...
What about outside of Silver State?
She is a successful businessman and she seized this business opportunity instantly!
"Okay, ten taels is not expensive! I'll do it!"
This person drank one and a half bowls...
"The Xifeng wine in Jinghua costs twenty taels!"
"I think our Zuiyinzhou is no worse than Xifeng!"
At this moment, the entire Fengming Building couldn't hold back any longer and people flocked in.
But the reality is, no one can actually drink three bowls of Zuiyinzhou in one night!
"This this……"
Zhou Shixiong was so angry when he saw this scene. He came here to slap someone in the face, but ended up getting slapped in the face instead. How could he not be angry?
"Why don't you get out of here?"
Zheng Yueru glared at him. If it was before, Zheng Yueru would not want to offend Zhou Shixiong. But today, he was watching her restaurant make a fool of itself, and even humiliated her directly, raising the price. How could the Zheng family tolerate him?
"snort!"
Zhou Shixiong could only leave in shame.
Soon, the news that Fengming Tower had fine wine spread throughout Yinzhou.
Those who love wine came here upon hearing the news. The popularity of the reopening of Fengming Tower was even greater than Zheng Yueru had imagined.
This is also the reason why Liu Zheng was late, because he knew that there would definitely not be enough wine today.
It's not just Fengming Tower that is consuming the wine. There will definitely be people outside coming to buy wine, so he prepared some more.
That night, people said that the whole Yinzhou was filled with the aroma of wine.
Zheng Yueru did some calculations.
On the opening day, Fengminglou almost made a profit just from selling wine.
Who exactly is this Liu Zheng?
