Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 110: Expensive new wine

Views:

The next day.

Cheng Chumo wandered to the door of Li Zexuan's house early in the morning, just like a young man, riding a skateboard newly developed by Qiquge Workshop for young people. This guy's coquettish look attracted everyone's attention along the way.

Of course he didn't queue up to buy this skateboard at Qiquge. First, Cheng Chumo didn't have much pocket money now. Second, he didn't have the patience to queue up. He got this skateboard through the back door. Nowadays, the caring people in Chang'an City basically know that he is so close to Li Zexuan that he is almost wearing a pair of trousers, so Sun Huaiyuan directly gave him a skateboard.

This guy's scar has obviously healed and he forgot about the pain. The last time he fell so badly while skateboarding, he immediately started to go around on the skateboard again.

Li Zexuan saw Cheng Chumo holding a skateboard in the yard. For a moment, he almost thought he had traveled back in time. Cheng Chumo's appearance was really too inconsistent.

"Hey, Xiaoxuan, brother, I found that the skateboard you sold this time is better than the one you gave me to play with last time!"

Cheng Chumo patted the skateboard in his hand proudly. Now that he has this thing, he is no longer willing to ride a horse when going out. Obviously this thing is much more convenient than riding a horse.

Li Zexuan pouted aside. The skateboard launched by Qiquge this time uses roller bearings in the transmission connection. It is certainly better than the one he took out last time.

"Ugly cow, if you use this, you won't be afraid of another dog chewing its shit?"

Li Zexuan joked.

"Hey, Xiaoxuan, you are looking down on my brother and me. Why did I, Old Cheng, fall down twice in the same place?"

Anyway, bragging is more expensive than bragging, so Cheng Chumo bragged.

Li Zexuan shook his head and ignored his words.

Cheng Chumo remembered the purpose of coming here today, and said: "Xiao Xuan, my father agreed yesterday, and the winery will be given to you. You can rest assured to use the craftsmen there. They have all signed a contract with my family, so they will definitely not They will betray our secret recipe for no reason.”

Li Zexuan said happily: "That's great. I asked Uncle Fu to make more than a dozen sets of distillation and purification equipment. We will move all the brewing and bartending equipment there as soon as possible, and strive to officially start blending Wenwen Xianghe in large quantities within the next two days. The gods are drunk."

He was indeed worried about the confidentiality of the new wine formula before, but now that Cheng Chumo can solve it, that would be the best. And his father also told him last night that he had already bought two saltpeter mines, so he didn't have to worry about ice cubes now.

Cheng Chumo nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, we have to do this as soon as possible. Xiaoxuan, how much do you plan to price our wine?"

Cheng Chumo wished that Li Zexuan would go to his family's winery to make wine now, so that if he and his father wanted to drink, they could just go to the winery and drink their own wine without spending any money, right

Li Zexuan has already considered the price of new wine. He learned about the wine market situation in the Tang Dynasty from Li Jingmo last night. The most expensive wines in this era were Jiannan Shaochun and Yingzhou Fushui, and a bucket cost almost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is no exaggeration. In the Tang Dynasty, food was scarce and drinks were generally expensive, especially famous wines. Li Bai once wrote in "Traveling is Difficult": A gold bottle of fine wine is worth a thousand dollars, and a jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars. What he is talking about is the precious wine of Jiannan Shaochun.

In the Tang Dynasty, one dou was equivalent to ten liters, and one liter was equal to about 1.25 kilograms. In total, the price of one kilogram of Jiannan Shaochun was about six to seven hundred yuan in modern times. Of course, this was only based on the copper coins and gold and silver at that time. Converted according to the exchange ratio.

But one problem that cannot be ignored is that prices in the early Tang Dynasty were extremely cheap. A bucket of rice could be bought for only three or four cents. If converted according to the modern gold price, one dollar could buy more than six kilograms of rice.

Therefore, if calculated based on the prices at that time, the copper coins used for a pound of Jiannan Shaochun is almost equivalent to the purchasing power of fifteen thousand yuan in modern times. Only rich people like Li Bai can afford it.

His good friend Du Fu, when he was in poverty in his later years, could only drink three hundred copper coins per dou of low-quality wine. Otherwise, how could Du Fu do such a thing as "he drank a dou of wine early in the morning and got three hundred bronze coins." What about poetry

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said: "Ugly Niu, our gentle town, I plan to price two guans per liter, and Shenxian Zui, I plan to price five guans per liter. What do you think?"

In Wenrou Township, the alcohol concentration is lower and can be sold cheaper, but Shenxianzui uses distilled and concentrated wine, and the cost alone is much higher, so the pricing is really not cheap.

This statement was shocking. Cheng Chumo's eyes widened and he said in disbelief:

"I'm talking about Xiaoxuan, are you crazy about money? Why don't you go grab it for five guans per liter? Who would want to drink it if it's so expensive?"

Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Don't you think this immortal drunk is worth the money?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but recall the smell of immortal drunkenness. This memory aroused his greed, and he smacked his mouth, wondering:

"The taste of this divine drunkenness is undeniable. I am afraid that I will never be able to find such good wine again in the Tang Dynasty. However, the price of five guans per liter is too high, and ordinary people can't afford it."

Li Zexuan smiled and said:

"This wine is not meant for ordinary people to drink. Besides, the Shenxianzui uses famous wines that have been concentrated several times. Three kilograms of Jiannan Shaochun can be used to concentrate one kilogram of the raw material spirits we need, and then mixed with other The materials cost us more than three guans per liter of immortal drunkenness, so the price of five guans per liter is not expensive."

When Li Zexuan said this, Cheng Chumo understood. He quickly said: "It seems that it is not expensive, so let's set the price."

The wine shop also has 10% of the shares of the Cheng family. The more the immortal drunk earns, the more money their family will share.

... ... ... ... ... ... .

After agreeing on the price of the new wine with Cheng Chumo, Li Zexuan sent someone to tell Uncle Fu of the workshop to get another twenty sets of distillation equipment, and then he took Cheng Chumo to Zuixian Tower. The conditions were ripe for the launch of new wine, and it was necessary for him to say hello to Shopkeeper Liu.

Cheng Chumo came here just to follow Li Zexuan and eat at Zuixian Tower for free.

"Uncle Liu, why is it so deserted here today?"

Li Zexuan walked into Zuixian Building and was shocked to find that there were only three or four tables of people eating there on the first floor.

"Alas, Master, you don't know something. Although Yunxilou also introduced nibbling chicken to compete with us in the past, there are still some diners who are willing to stay in our Zuixianlou for dinner.

But yesterday they hired a palace chef and introduced many famous palace dishes. Our already few diners became even rarer. Those who are still willing to eat here usually live very close to us. "

Shopkeeper Liu was sighing with a frown on his face and gushing bitterly. Zuixianlou's performance was not good, and he was a little embarrassed to meet his boss.

Li Zexuan smiled and patted Shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder, comforting him: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I have brought a few new things to Zuixianlou. Zuixianlou will soon become popular again."

Cheng Chumo, a living treasure, also winked at the side and said: "Yes, yes, shopkeeper Liu, just keep your heart in your stomach, I, Old Cheng, promise that it will be hard to find a Zuixian Tower in two days, haha!"

Apart from Li Zexuan, probably no one has more confidence in Wenrouxiang and Shenxianzui than Cheng Chumo.

I saw some people complaining about the unreasonable pricing of some things in my book, so this chapter will give you a good explanation of the price relationship. In the early Tang Dynasty, the purchasing power of a penny was still very strong. Please stop complaining. Don't ask me why I know so clearly, because I just traveled from the Tang Dynasty, right
