Chapter 104 The rich aroma of wine

"Haha, I am indeed ignorant! I feel respectful and disrespectful..."

Although Qin Yong said this, he felt funny in his heart!

Are you considered a talented man? You are over twenty years old, but you can't even pass the Jinshi exam! Of course, this does not mean that those who fail to pass the Jinshi exam must be not talented man, but you have to have some poems passed down from generation to generation, right? Qin Yong has also seen a few poems written by Cheng Mubai. And even people like him who have never learned to recite poems and write lyrics can see that those poems are not considered masterpieces at all.

"Stop talking nonsense! This 'wine tasting party' held by your Qin family should have begun, right?"

Cheng Mubai was already half angry with Qin Yong, so he said to Qin Yong with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, yes! It's time to start!"

So Qin Yong didn't say much and immediately signaled the butler to complete the procedures! The registration fee of 500 taels must be charged! Don't be idle! Besides, the cost of the "big cellar wine" he brewed is not cheap!

"My husband...youth, you are really him!"

What Qin Yong didn't know was that just when he and Cheng Mu Baixu were lying on the other side, Wu Yanran and her two women were also hiding in the crowd in men's clothing! The result was that when the two women saw him clearly, they were immediately angry! This guy, he was obviously the so-called "Young Master Yongyue", but he deliberately didn't say that day. It was really hateful! It was precisely because of this idea that the two women's eyes almost burst into flames!

"Um!"

Wu Yanran was also a little surprised when she saw this result. Although she had expected that Qin Yong had some connection with the "Young Master Yongyue" at the beginning, she was more inclined to believe that he was not "Young Master Yongyue" herself, but she did not expect that the matter was exactly the opposite of what he guessed.

"Everyone, the registration time has been cut off! Due to the large number of people who have registered, this 'wine tasting party' will be divided into two batches! Well, now we will invite the fifty people who have signed up to the stage!"

At noon, this "wine tasting party" finally kicked off! Originally, as Qin Yong expected, there would be no more than fifty participants who signed up for this "wine tasting party". After all, not everyone has the ability to get the registration fee of up to 1,200 silver! Moreover, those who can get the registration fee of ten taels of silver must have a good enough alcohol capacity! Regarding this, there has been "Xiaojiao Wine" for their reference long ago! But the current situation is that with Cheng Mubai and others' stumble, the number of people who signed up for the entire "wine tasting party" is as many as a hundred! The temporary ring is actually only able to accommodate about fifty people at most, so it can only be held in two batches!

"Look, it's starting. It's starting!"

Seeing this highly anticipated "wine tasting party" finally began, all the audiences below were excited! In fact, they may not all drink, but with this great excitement, they are still willing to watch it! After all, this reward of up to 100 taels of gold is extremely rare! And if one person wins the award, it will undoubtedly ignite the atmosphere on the scene!

At this time, the stage was divided into three rows, with as many as fifty contestants standing. There was a table in front of each contestant. Then there were three bowls and a jar of wine on the table! When the jar was opened, a very strong smell of wine came to my face! This kind of wine fragrance was only found on extremely high white wine! And like the ordinary water wine of this era, even like "Xiaojiao wine", it usually had only a faint smell of wine, and this faint smell of wine, even putting your nose to the edge of the jar, is not necessarily smelled.

“Wow…”

"This...this wine is really delicious!"

"It's true! It's true! Just from the aroma of this wine, then 'Xiaojiao Wine' may not be able to match!"

"That's right, it seems that the hundred taels of gold are not that easy to get!"

"Haha, of course! Otherwise, you really think that 'Young Master Yongyue' and Butcher Qin were both stupid?"

"Yes, yes. Fortunately, I didn't participate..."

......

When they smelled such a strong smell of wine, the audience closest to the ring were all "wow"! This situation was something they had never expected before! They originally thought that even if the Qin Mansion could take out the so-called strong wine, it would be only a little better than "Xiaojiao Wine". But they did not expect that in terms of the aroma of wine alone, the "Xiaojiao Wine" was far from the difference!

Amid the uproar among the crowd, the Qin family servants carried the wine jar and began to pour wine for the more than 50 contestants. Each contestant had three bowls, and the wine bowl had been arranged long ago. Therefore, whether it could be drunk or not after drinking it is clear at a glance!

"Okay, everyone can start! First of all, each person drinks these three bowls of strong wine, and as long as he can stay awake after half an hour and walks from one end to the other on this bench, he can get one hundred taels of gold!"

The Qin Mansion butler on the stage said, and opened the red cloth covered with a table in the center, and then a dazzling golden light flashed the eyes of everyone present!

"hiss......"

"Look... Have you seen it? Yellow...Gold! Still...it's still so big!"

The gold piled on the table will naturally not be only one hundred taels, but as high as three thousand taels! This is almost all the activity funds of the Qin Mansion. If you can get such a large batch of gold, it was the butcher Qin who exchanged it with the silver notes in the various money shops! Moreover, the 3,000 taels of gold almost emptied all the storage of those money shops! So, when such a large batch of gold suddenly appeared in front of you, it is no wonder that almost everyone present was crazy!

"My husband...Young Master, the Qin family is so rich!"

The reason why almost everyone is that Wu Yanran, who was curiously watching all this on stage, did not have any surprise expression! After all, she is the second princess of today, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually prosperous in economy, and the royal life of the whole royal family was extremely luxurious, so she naturally was not surprised, because there was no concept of much money in her heart! However, the two women under her were different. Although they were always following Wu Yanran, they were from poor families after all, so they knew very well what this gold of up to 3,000 C meant! So, at this time, he said to Wu Yanran with some stuttering.

"Um."

Wu Yanran agreed with the words of the two women, but she didn't say much. Because her focus was not here at all. As a talented man in the world, her achievements in poetry were already extraordinary, but this was not counted. She was still keen on all kinds of good poems and lyrics in the world. Therefore, she would dress up as a man to travel around the world, with the purpose of competing with young talents from all over the world, and then collecting all kinds of good poems and lyrics! But she didn't expect that in this Yangzhou city, she would be left behind and was delayed for more than ten days and could not leave. Therefore, the only focus of her attention at this time was Qin Yong's talent. As for his family situation, it was not something she was interested in.

"Cheng...Brother Cheng, how about it? No... there will be no problem, right?"

Not to mention those ordinary people who were not rich in their original family background, even the children of officials and businessmen like Zhu Ze, Wen Yunzhang, etc., when they first saw the pile of gold like a hill, their breathing became rapid, so Zhu Ze turned to ask Cheng Mubai and said.

"Don't worry, there is my second uncle's medicine! No problem!"

Cheng Mubai's eyes were also a little dumb at this time. In fact, everyone in Yangzhou City knew that the Qin family's wealth was very huge, but they had no intuitive concept of where they were so huge! But now, these 3,000 taels of gold can make them feel it very clearly, because even a wealthy family like Cheng Jia, the total industry will definitely not exceed the value of 3,000 taels of gold, let alone 3,000 taels of gold! And

When Cheng Mubai smelled the extremely strong fragrance of "Dajiao Wine", he was a little nervous because it exceeded his previous expectations! However, he soon recovered because he believed that his second uncle, after all, his second uncle had worked as an imperial physician in the palace, and in this Yangzhou city, he could be regarded as the most magical doctor. Therefore, the medicine he gave was naturally effective. In addition, Cheng Mubai's own massive amount of his own cups, there was no need to panic.

"Okay! Then it depends on you, Brother Qin!"

Zhu Ze felt a little relieved when he heard Cheng Mubai's words!

In fact, like other talented men, he was full of confidence after drinking the sobering medicine provided by the miraculous doctor Cheng Yuanxu. He almost thought that the hundred taels of gold offered by the Qin family was the item in his pocket! But he didn't expect that just opening the rich aroma of wine in the wine jar would shatter their confidence!
