Chapter 34 Sky-high priced wine!

Li Chenan noticed these special young people not far away from him, including the beautiful girl he had met twice.

At first glance, their attire is not that of ordinary people. They are probably the children of a wealthy businessman or a high-ranking official.

These people are his real target customers. They are young, rich, and in the upper echelons of the circle but have very little experience. They are easy to fool!

He also looked into the crowd, feeling a little regretful that he did not see the handsome father-in-law.

In fact, he hoped to see that father-in-law again.

If you give a jar of this wine to that father-in-law, and if he also likes drinking, then your position in the Lijing Department will be stronger.

If that father-in-law brings wine to the emperor to taste again... maybe he can see what the legendary emperor looked like.

It's a pity that he didn't come.

After all, he is the leader of Lijing Division, and he has probably returned to Beijing.

"Everyone,"

Li Chenan roared loudly again, "Next, I will ask Mr. Hua to cut the ribbon for the tavern!"

Ribbon cutting?

What is a ribbon cutting?

Just when everyone was surprised, Li Xiaohua brought out a stool from inside.

Li Chenan helped Hua Manting stand on the stool. Cuihua took a pair of scissors and handed them to Hua Manting.

Hua Manting is also very curious!

After all, he didn't know what cutting the ribbon meant, he only knew that Li Chenan asked him to do it.

He looked up at the lintel and stretched out the scissors, so everyone's eyes fell on the lintel.

Hua Man Ting cut the red silk open with scissors, and the red silk fell to both sides, revealing the huge plaque on the lintel.

Hua Manting was shocked on the spot!

Everyone standing outside and watching was also shocked!

In the eyes of those people, the first thing they saw were the three energetic characters "Hua Man Ting"!

"hiss……"

Is this the tavern named after Mr. Hua Lao?

The relationship between Li Chenan and Mr. Hua Lao is so close?

Then someone took a closer look and saw a line of small regular script above the three big characters——

'The tavern under the banyan tree!'

This is the name of the tavern!

Is the guest taking the spotlight?

Zhongli Ruoshui's beautiful eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons as she smiled. She glanced at Li Chenan's back and thought, how could this guy have so many thoughts?

There were murmurs in the crowd, and some people were somewhat critical of this, such as Qi Zhixue.

He frowned at this moment:

"Mr. Hua Lao is the spirit of Ningguo's literary world. Even his name is an extremely sacred existence for Ningguo students.

But this guy Li Chenan hung Mr. Hua’s name so conspicuously on the lintel, isn’t this a bit blasphemous?”

Of course, some people sneered at this, such as Zhongli Ruoshui:

"I'm afraid Mr. Qi may have thought a little wrong. Let me ask you, is that Mr. Hua's handwriting?"

Qi Zhixue suddenly choked and nodded.

"Then since it was written by Mr. Hua himself, it means that Mr. Hua agreed to it. And Mr. Hua personally cut the plaque and cut the ribbon, which also means that Mr. Hua knew it!"

"Lao Hua doesn't care, so what do you care about?"

"Actually, this further proves that Li Chen'an's wine has already been approved by Hua Lao. Otherwise, given Hua Lao's character of never giving people inscriptions easily, how could he have done so much for Li Chen'an?"

Qi Zhixue was speechless, and Cheng Zhe became even more silent looking at Li Chenan's back.

What he was thinking more about was not the relationship between Hua Manting and Li Chenan who had been friends for many years, but that Li Chenan actually knew how to take advantage of the situation, and Hua Manting was willing to build momentum for him.

It seems that everyone in Guangling City underestimates Li Chenan!

Then, Hua Manting used scissors to cut off the two strips of red silk on the door frame. The red silk fell down, revealing a couplet:

‘The mountains are good, the water is good, if you open the door and smile, you will have no worries.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, drink a few drinks and have something to do.’

The calligraphy on this couplet is a bit ugly, and it was obviously not written by Hua Lao.

But this is a free and easy couplet, which expresses the indifferent mood of the person who wrote this couplet.

Hua Manting stood on the ground, his eyes lit up when he looked at this couplet. Of course he knew it was written by Li Chenan, and he liked this boy even more.

At this moment, Li Chenan was standing on the stool.

He was facing the sunset, all golden.

"This is Li Chenan!"

"The little owner of the tavern under the banyan tree!"

"I welcome all the wine-loving people from all over the world to come and sit in the tavern, and I also welcome all the students and scholars from all over the world to come and gather in the tavern."

"but……!"

His conversation suddenly changed and his voice rose slightly.

"I would like to explain a few issues to everyone!"

"First of all, because the wine in the tavern is so good, the production is limited, and only ten kilograms are sold every day!"

Suddenly there was a roar in the crowd. After all, Hua Pingchun was named by Hua Pingchun himself. After all, Hua Lao himself had said that Hua Pingchun was better than Ruilu, so this wine must be a good wine.

Since it is good wine, it must be bought and tasted.

But this Li Chenan said that he only sells ten kilograms a day... How much can each person buy with so many people?

Besides, if a rich man buys all the ten pounds at once, wouldn’t the rest of the people not even be able to taste it?

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"In order to ensure that guests entering the tavern have alcohol to drink, the tavern under the banyan tree has formulated some rules."

"First, each person can only drink one or two drinks in the tavern every day!"

The crowd was in a commotion again, and even Cheng Zhe and Qi Zhixue were stunned - where in the world could there be any reason to do this kind of business?

Doesn’t this mean that you can’t spend money even if you have money in your pocket?

Zhongli Ruoshui's beautiful eyes moved, and she instantly understood the meaning of Li Chenan's words.

His words have aroused everyone's interest!

What he needs is these people to spread the name of his Hua Ping Chun, and then more people need to taste this wine, but every time they are still unsatisfied.

"Secondly, the wine in the tavern under the banyan tree is not for sale for the time being! In other words, all guests can only drink in our restaurant if they like it. Our restaurant does not provide side dishes to accompany the wine, and it is also prohibited to bring side dishes to accompany the wine!"

"Because I'm too lazy to clean up!"

The crowd exclaimed again——

Doesn't this mean that you have to drink less alcohol?

Where does the poetic quality of drinking like this come from?

But some people heard the implication of this sentence - he said that it would not be sold to outsiders for the time being, which left enough room.

"Thirdly, because Huapingchun is so good, it is very expensive. Our store warns all customers to spend within their means."

"Finally, I announce that Huapingchun sells for two hundred cents per tael! Now the tavern under the banyan tree...is officially open!"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into a thunderous roar!

too expensive!

Two hundred cents can only buy one tael of wine... Doesn't it mean that two taels of silver can buy one catty? (For the convenience of conversion, one catty is counted as ten taels)

"Wait a minute, how much does Guangling powder weigh per pound?"

"Two hundred and fifty texts."

"...Isn't this Hua Ping Chun nearly ten times more expensive than Guang Ling San?"

"This boy named Li is really poor and crazy!"

"..."

Some people dispersed in disappointment, while others left happily. After a while, dozens of people were left outside the tavern.

Li Chenan and Hua Manting had already walked into the backyard. Hua Manting looked at Li Chenan worriedly, "Did you act too hastily?"

Li Chenan shook his head and said calmly: "The tavern is small, we don't need so many people."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the shop:

"Waiter, serve the wine!"
