Chapter 38 Wine Tasting

"No...not selling?!" Xiao Wu was surprised. He took such a big risk to offend Xin Jin just to sell wine!

If he didn’t sell wine, wouldn’t he be losing money to death!?

"Don't worry, you and Du Gan will open our stall first. I think there are more and more people at this time. It's a good time for people to know about our Tianqing wine." Xin added.

"publicity?"

Xiao Wu and Du Gan looked at each other. What new vocabulary is this?

"We should find a way to let everyone here know that we in Xinyi will hold a 'Wine Tasting Conference', and all businessmen coming and going can come and taste our latest wine brewed in Xinyi for free!"

"Free?! Does that mean you don't have to pay for it?" Xiao Wu was surprised.

"This...how can this be done! These wines are very expensive!" Du Gan didn't understand what Xin You was doing.

On the other hand, Tu Yi, a businessman on the side, laughed after hearing this: "No money!? That's great! I'll find someone for you!"

"Wait a minute!" Xin then organized Tu Yi: "Each clan can only send one person to taste the wine, otherwise what if you call so many drunkards and drink all our wine?"

"Yes Yes……"

Tu Yi nodded quickly, that was exactly what he thought, and was stopped by Xin every time.

Xinyi's wine is good wine, Xinyou is already sure of it.

How to sell such wine at a good price is the only question Xin You is thinking about now.

Although the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, it still has to be smelled by someone.

Such a good wine must be well advertised.



Xinyi's stall had already been reserved for them by Pu Renfan.

In the center of the city, there are stalls occupied by Chinese people.

Fancheng took Xin You to the stall, and Xiaowu and others began to decorate it.

Xin You had already told them the plan, and Xiao Wu was extremely shocked.

Can wine still be sold like this?!

Just then, a lean man walked over.

He held a handful of bamboo slips in his hand and looked slightly arrogant.

"Hello, Mr. Si Shi." The man saluted, then looked at Xinyou and others: "May I ask, are you the Xinyi caravan?"

"Exactly, this is Xin You from Xin."

Si Shi introduced the man, and then said to Xin: "This is Liu Jiao, our master from Puyi."

"Master Jia?" Xin looked at the man again, feeling a little interesting.

The so-called Jia Shi is a person who balances market prices.

Similar to today's price bureau, balancing prices requires both preventing sky-high prices for goods and combating low-price dumping.

But at that time, Mr. Jia didn't have any economic methods to balance prices. He relied on many years of experience.

Therefore, it is a very important role in the market.

Second only to Si City.

Judging from Liu Jie's attitude, it seems that he doesn't like Fancheng very much either.

"I have met Mr. Xin." Liu Jiao said with a cold face, "I wonder what Mr. Xin is selling? Please quote the price."

If Xinyi wants to sell something, Master Jia must be notified of the price. Once notified, the price cannot be changed at will.

Liu Jie had already taken out the knife and pen in his hand and was about to record it on the bamboo slips.

"What we in Xinyi are selling today is 'Tianqing Wine'." Xin said again, "What's the price? It doesn't cost any money."

"Hmm...the price...is a bit...ah?!" Liu Jie looked up and almost dropped the carving knife in his hand: "No money?!"

"Yeah, no money!" Xin said again.

Liu Jie calmed down for a moment. He had been managing the market for so many years, and all commodities had a price. Where could there be anything that was free of charge?

"Are you... selling?" He couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"It's not for sale, it's just for everyone to taste." Xin added.

“Tasting?!”

"Yes, the latest wine we brewed in Xinyi has a cool color and a mellow taste, which is comparable to the old wine. I specially brought three jars today for everyone to have a try." Xin said again.

"You...you."

Liu Jie wanted to say something, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Deliberately lowering prices to disrupt the market?

But they only brought three jars with them, and there was no one selling wine in the market in Puyi.

"Master Jia, don't think too much. We are here to sell wine, but we are not selling these three jars." Xin added, "If anyone thinks our Xinyi wine is good, sign a contract with us and the reservation will be made

Can."

"Pre-decided." Liu Jiao still didn't understand.

"Just tell us how much wine you want, and when the time comes, we in Xinyi will deliver the wine to your house." Xiao Wu said: "In Xinyi, we are very young and old."

"The words of Xinyi people have always been about arithmetic." At this time, Si Shifancheng spoke: "Mr. Liu, it is allowed to place orders in the market, right?"

"Of course." Liu Jiao said: "Otherwise, what would you do if you were a hostage?"

The pledger is the person responsible for making the contract in the market and can be regarded as a witness to various transactions.

If some large transactions cannot be completed on the spot, it is natural to agree on the time and place of the transaction, as well as the amount of the transaction.

After both parties make a written deed, the hostage must bear witness, or the pledge may make a written deed.

"In that case, let's first ask Master Jia to taste our Tianqing Bar in Xinyi."

Xin arrived again and slowly Yi Jue Tianqing was delivered to Liu Jiao.

Liu Jie was slightly surprised. Every time he thought that this doctor from Xinyi would serve him wine in person, this would frighten him!

Although he can put on airs due to his seniority, he still understands basic etiquette.

Liu Jie quickly bowed and raised his hands above his head to accept Xin You's gift.

Before the wine arrived, a strong aroma of wine had already reached Liu Jiao's nose.

After being a Master Jia for so many years, he naturally has good eyesight, and he can tell at a glance that this is a good wine.

"Good wine..."

After taking a small taste, Liu Jie did not hide his opinion.

Xin You smiled, this was the effect he wanted.

"Free wine? Give me a drink too." A man came over and said, "I am the Wu family of Mu County. If your wine is good, all of us Wu families will want it."

The man looked dull and didn't look very smart.

"Little Master, don't talk nonsense."

A servant behind him grabbed Wu Shen with a worried look on his face.

"What are you doing to get me? Why don't you drink wine for free?"

As he said this, he asked Xiao Wu to take a large pottery cup filled with wine.

"No!" Xiao Wu quickly stopped him: "This wine is very powerful, you can't drink it like this."

At the Xinyi stall, small cups have already been set up for people to taste.

"Awesome? I think you don't know how powerful I am, Wu Shen!" Wu Sheng held the big cup and did not let go: "I have been drinking since I was ten years old, and I have never been drunk until now!"

"Xiao Wu, let him try." Xin You said calmly.

As long as we can promote wine, the best way is to spread word of mouth about this good wine.

Wu Ye proudly picked up Xin You's special wine glass, which was like a straight-up cup in later generations. Each cup contained about half a catty of wine.

Of course, these cups are not full, just a little more than two or three.

When Wu Kuo saw what was in the cup, he drank it as if drinking water without any hesitation.

Seeing him drinking, Xiaowu was very disdainful.

This is not drinking. This is completely drinking cattle.

After Wu Kuo finished drinking, he wiped his mouth and hit the bar twice, but there was no reaction at all.

People around him were staring at him, wanting to see what he thought of the wine.

But after waiting for a long time, Wu Kuo didn't say a word.

"Gentleman, how do you like our Xinyi wine?"

Seeing Wu Shen not saying a word, Xin You was also a little worried.

Are you drunk? You can't be such a good person, can you?!

Although this wine is distilled wine, its original alcohol content is not high, Xinyou estimates it is only about 40 degrees.

"good--"

Wu Ye only said one word, then he staggered on his feet and fell backwards.

It seems that wine with more than 40 degrees of alcohol is still too unacceptable for people in the Spring and Autumn Period!
