Chapter 39 Selling Wine

"How much money does this jar of wine cost? Sir, what I gave you is a fifty-tael silver note. If it were the ordinary wine on the street, this would be enough to buy ten carriages."

In the early Ming Dynasty, silver was scarce and valuable.

Even though the guard took out the fifty taels of silver without hesitation, if it were placed in an ordinary person's home, he would probably not be able to earn it even if he had not eaten or drank for many years.

"Look, look, after all, he is also the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You also said that those are ordinary wines... Can that ordinary wine be comparable to the Baoyuan aged wine produced by our Baoyuan Bureau? Furthermore, can you like to drink that ordinary wine?

?”

After some compliments, Wang Siqi continued with a smile on his face: "To tell you the truth, my Baoyuan aged wine has been added with the finest wine given by the emperor to enhance the flavor. Although it is not comparable to the wine given by the emperor, in fact

...Hehe, it’s almost the same.”

After experiencing another round of deception, the East Palace guard was obviously a little dizzy. He waved his hands and said, "I'm just a guard in front of the prince. Where is it? Mr. Wang, please tell me how much this wine is."

If you say you want to buy a hundred altars, buy a hundred altars!"

"Okay! Come here, hurry up and load the car and deliver wine to me!"

"Thank you for taking care of me. Everyone in the Baoyuan Bureau is grateful to you! It's a thousand taels in total... It's okay if I don't have this small amount of money with me for a while. The fifty taels will be used as a deposit, and the rest

Cash on delivery..."

"How much? One thousand taels?"

Even if my family is well off, I can't afford such expensive wine.

It's not a well-known wine. If others don't know about it, why doesn't he know about it? These wines are said to be aged, but in fact every jar comes from Baoyuan Bureau's brewing workshop.

Has the workshop been completed and put into use?

It’s only been a few days since it was put into use, and it’s not all finished yet?

This... aged wine?

The guard's face turned red and purple. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said loudly: "Then, even if I bought this wine, I will have the money I need. Someone will naturally deliver it after the wine is delivered.

, one thousand taels of silver is one thousand taels of silver.”

This scene made Chen Zhi on the side dumbfounded.

I couldn't help but look at Wang Siqi, who had a calm expression on the side, and thought to myself: This guy still knows how to do business, he can really make money standing up.

Wang Siqi quickly handed over his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank the guard. I didn't expect that the first batch of Baoyuan aged wine sold by Baoyuan Bureau came from the East Palace."

"Looking back on this matter, I will definitely say more in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hiss...say a few more words to His Majesty the Crown Prince?

What to say, if you say something nice... the guard couldn't help but start to think about it. What was the purpose of being able to go to the East Palace and quietly serve as a guard in front of the prince when a noble descendant of his own? Isn't it just because he might be able to?

Those who are hopeful will get the moon first, maybe one day they will be appreciated and they will be able to stand out?

If His Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated one day, I would step forward and save His Highness the Crown Prince's life.

I'm afraid that from now on my family's family tree will have to tear up all the fronts... Start writing it from myself. After all, what is the merit of Conglong, which is greater than my own contribution to saving the future emperor?

But such opportunities are rare after all.

Now, for just one thousand taels of silver, I could get a chance to show my face in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Is one thousand taels still expensive?

It doesn't seem to be very expensive...

The guard hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful... I'd like to ask Mr. Wang to take the trouble, but Mr. Wang... can you go back to Baoyuan Bureau with us now?"

"Easy to say...easy to say..."

The money has been given, and there is nothing left to say.

Wang Siqi said to Chen Zhi standing aside: "Have you learned? This is the highest level of selling wine. Not only do you have to collect money, but you also have to make the other party feel that you have taken advantage..."

"In addition, you should promote these ten taels of Baoyuan aged wine to the outside world, but once someone comes to Zanghua Pavilion, they must remember that everything placed around must be exquisitely packaged for one hundred taels!"

"At that time, if customers ask why it is different, we can take the opportunity to sell the more expensive Baoyuan aged wine."

At this juncture, Wang Siqi was still thinking about how to make money, which shocked Chen Zhi, but he soon figured out the logic.

So he quickly responded and said: "I understand! But if I remember correctly this finely packaged Baoyuan Aged Wine and the jar of Baoyuan Aged Wine worth ten taels of silver, the wines are the same...even if the box contains

After buying two jars, the cost of the box is not more than ten taels of silver. Wouldn’t it be too shameful to sell it for one hundred taels?”

"You are stupid! If I didn't tell you, if you didn't tell me, who would have known that the two wines are the same!"

"Even if someone asks...just say...well, it's expensive for a reason! The rest doesn't need to be explained too much. If you like it, you will buy it. If you don't, you will lose it. We haven't increased the production yet...if it is sold

It’s too fast and the brewery won’t be able to exchange it, so I’m afraid the quality will drop too much..."

Chen Zhi, who couldn't help but roll his eyes, couldn't help but think in his heart: Are you still worried about this?

Logically speaking, the Baoyuan Bureau brewing workshop has not yet been fully completed, so it is still very difficult to produce Baoyuan aged wine on a large scale.

But what I didn't expect was that I heard that it was because of this that I was delayed in making money.

Wang Siqi immediately waved his hand, "Here, mix alcohol with water."

Anyway, the principle is the same, and the wineries of later generations are also like this... They produce 30,000 bottles of wine a year, and at least three million bottles are drunk on the market. What's more, the 1982 Lafite, the number of drinks is far greater.

It was produced in that year, but decades later... the price has gone up, but it is still available.

Where did the wine come from? Who knows....

Wang Siqi just followed the example, with Jiuxianlu and the jar of imperial wine, plus a few winemaking technical consultants who were specially and friendly "invited" - other winery masters to guide, the taste is not too good.

Just stay stable...

Baoyuan aged wine...

Officially on sale to the public...

The other side.

Wang Siqi, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but look up outside. The streets of the capital were still very lively, and few of the passers-by and merchants could see the obvious dishes on their faces.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically rare to see beggars on the streets.

At the feet of the Emperor...can't you have enough to eat?

Begging for food on the street?

Is it the Emperor who makes you hungry, or Ying Tianfu who makes you hungry...?

The carriage arrived at Baoyuan Bureau.
Chapter completed!
