After some discussion, Yun Xi's performance was impeccable, which also made Manager Zhou understand that Yun Xi was not as easy to fool as he appeared on the surface. Although this person was young, he was a full-fledged person.
He put away his unnecessary thoughts and wanted to buy Yun Xi's wine.
His master, Prince An, is a heavy drinker. If he can dedicate such a fine wine to his master, it will definitely bring great convenience to his future.
Yun Xi's purpose was to sell wine. At this time, Manager Zhou offered to buy it. She happily quoted a price, thirty taels per catty.
When she first entered the wine shop, those people were looking at her, and they were still talking privately about how expensive the wine in Zuixiangfang was, saying that she would definitely not be able to afford it, and so on.
These discussions were naturally heard by Yun Xi.
She also learned from this that the cheapest wine in Zuixiangfang costs two taels of silver per catty, and the most expensive wine costs twenty taels per catty. This price is worthy of being in the capital where dignitaries gather.
Zuixiangfang's wine can be sold for twenty taels per catty, so her asking price of thirty taels per catty is not excessive at all.
Although the cost is indeed not high, things are rare and expensive. The liquor in her hand is the first one in Da Linchao so far.
As for Manager Zhou, even if he bought it, he would definitely not sell it in a winery. Such a small amount of wine would not be enough to give as a gift.
Therefore, Yun Xi did not feel that her asking price was high at all.
After hearing her quotation, Butler Zhou's mouth twitched fiercely. This was a master even darker than their Zuixiangfang.
But there is no way, who makes people’s wine really good wine
In order to please Prince An, Housekeeper Zhou bought the wine in her wine bag even though his body hurt.
There were two kilograms in total. Manager Zhou poured a glass, but it was definitely not enough. Yun Xi accepted thirty taels from him, saying that the rest of the wine was for him.
This move instantly won the favor of Manager Zhou. Manager Zhou laughed loudly and asked her how much wine she had left. He asked for them all.
The fish took the bait, and Yun Xi also laughed softly, "To be honest with Manager Zhou, brewing this wine is extremely troublesome, and I am a person who is afraid of trouble, so I only brew sixty kilograms a year. At present, I only have Fifty pounds."
Manager Zhou originally thought that as long as he had money, he would be able to get as much wine as he wanted. But now he hears that it only costs fifty kilograms a year. Is this really a big deal
So, he eagerly ordered all the remaining wine, but there was one condition: Yun Xi would not break his promise and sell the excess brewed wine to other wineries.
In this regard, Yun Xi signed the agreement directly, but still added a clause to the agreement. If someone else brewed the same wine, she would not bear any consequences. She could only guarantee herself.
Although according to Dalin's historical development, liquor will not appear until at least six hundred years later, she has already brewed liquor in advance, so there is no guarantee that others will follow her example and study it.
Manager Zhou did not object to this, but was extremely happy.
Their Zuixiangfang masters the best wine-making technology. Even if it is researched, it will definitely be researched by them first.
If others can do research, they can definitely do it too.
The rest of the wine was in Yun Xi's space, so it was difficult to take it out on the spot, so Yun Xi said that it would be delivered in an hour.
Then, she went to the market and rented a carriage. Before renting the carriage, she took out the wine jar.
In this way, the wine jar of the black household was successfully cleaned, loaded onto the carriage and sent to the wine shop.
Manager Zhou was already waiting for her. During the wine test, he was extremely happy when he learned that the two bottles of wine had different strengths.
This is so humane. It takes care of both good drinkers and poor drinkers. It will give you one more choice when giving it away in the future.
For fifty kilograms of wine, Yun Xi received one thousand five hundred taels of silver, as well as the previous thirty taels.
After leaving the winery, Yun Xi first went to the cloth shop in the capital and bought two pieces of silk cloth with very good texture, one indigo and one ink.
Two pieces of cloth cost more than a hundred taels of silver. This was something that ordinary people would never dare to think about, but Yun Xi didn't care at all and didn't even blink when she paid the bill.
When we returned to Ji's house, it was just in time for dinner, and Mrs. Li had already prepared the meal.
Because both pieces of silk were wrapped, Mrs. Li just thought she was buying another piece of cloth. She didn't know that what she bought was actually silk.
Otherwise, Mr. Li will definitely be frightened and faint.
After the meal, Yun Xi stayed in the room, writing and drawing with Ji Jiuye's paper and pen and ink, not knowing what she was writing.
Li and Ji Jiuye were not surprised that she could write. After all, the original owner was the daughter of a scholar, so it was normal for her to be able to write through hearing and seeing.
In the afternoon, Yun Xi, who had been in the house for a long time, finally went out. She found Mrs. Li and stuffed a money bag into her.
Without waiting for Li to ask questions, she took the initiative and said, "Mom, our house is too old. Take this money and find some reliable people in the village. We will buy a new homestead and build a big house."
Today's adobe houses are fine for living in, but they leak when it rains.
It would be fine if she didn't have money, but she didn't lack money now, so naturally she couldn't let Ji Jiuye live in such a house anymore.
Mrs. Li opened the purse and took a look, her little heart suddenly trembled. This was so much money. She had never seen so much money in her life.
"Xi, Xi Niang, where did you get so much money?"
In the past, Mrs. Li had always warned herself not to ask about the source of Yun Xi's money, but now, she couldn't help it.
It didn't matter that she bought such expensive things from home every once in a while, but now he directly gave her fifty taels of silver and asked her to use it to build a new house.
Although the Yun family is well off, they are not that rich
Yun Xi knew that Li would definitely ask this time. Fortunately, she had been prepared.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Mom, didn't you notice that the wine vat at home is missing? I sold the wine I brewed."
Li:…
Of course she found that the wine vat at home was missing, but she just thought that Yun Xi had put it in a different place. Who knew that she had actually sold it.
How did she manage to move the wine away quietly
More importantly, those two tanks of wine only weighed sixty kilograms. How could they be sold for so much money
It’s almost a tael of silver per pound. Who would be willing to buy it if it’s so expensive
If Mrs. Li knew that a pound was sold not for one tael of silver, but for thirty taels, I don't know how she would feel.
"The wine made by Xi Niang turns out to be so valuable."
Li sighed with emotion, squeezed the money tightly, and said, "Seeing that autumn is approaching, Ye'er must take the exam. Xi Niang, the provincial examination is held in the provincial capital. Ye'er left her hometown and went there to spend money on food and drink. It’s all a waste of money, why not build the house later, keep the money, and let Ye’er take the exam first, okay?”
