The preparation for the opening of the hot pot restaurant was much faster than the original noodle restaurant.
After all, with His Royal Highness Prince Chun joining us, and the rented shop being Prince Hui's property, everything was ready in just ten days.
The shop is located in the east of the city, in a wealthy area. Coupled with the early promotion of the early adopter shop, it was fully booked on the opening day.
Of course, this hot pot restaurant is not as good as a noodle restaurant, and there aren't that many people queuing up at the door.
But this shop is big enough, with three floors and a total of eighty-eight tables.
Excluding wine, it is estimated that the per capita consumption is two taels of silver. If wine is included, it is hard to say.
After all, a pot of Yuye wine costs 2 taels of silver, and the other kind of Sansheng Sanshi is even more expensive. It is also 2 taels of wine, but the price is twenty taels.
As for the steamed and brewed wine, Yang Xuan has no intention of selling it in this hot pot restaurant. After all, this hot pot restaurant still needs to maintain its high standard.
All of Yang Xuan's wines are purified from Tao Ran Chun, and Tao Ran Chun is fermented and brewed from five kinds of grains. Based on three kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of wine, ten kilograms of grain can be brewed with thirty Wen.
Jin Tao Ran Chun.
Two kilograms of Tao Ran Chun can produce four taels of fine wine. In other words, a bottle of two taels of fine wine costs fifteen cents based on the material cost.
Including other seventy-seven or eighty-eight dollars, the price is more than 20 cents at most, and the cost is about ten cents per tael of wine.
Yuye wine is also worth two out of ten, and the calculated cost is almost one hundred Wen and two taels of wine.
The cost of one hundred wen was yet as high as two taels of silver. When His Highness Prince Chun heard Yang Xuan’s price, he was also surprised: “Is this... not too much?”
"Brother Lu, this is the value of technology. No one else has it, but we have it. Let alone two taels. Even if I sell it for twenty taels, I can still sell it."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun could not help but nod. Such delicious wine could be said to be unprecedented. If he was not short of money, he would never care about the price.
For example, for Three Lives and Three Worlds, Yang Xuan priced a pot at twenty taels of silver, and each pot only contained twenty taels of wine.
But the cost is only five hundred cents.
The hot pot restaurant opened today, and Prince Hui also came to support it. Naturally, Yang Xuan and others wanted to accompany him.
Prince Hui took a bite of the mutton and praised it, and then rinsed a piece of tripe and praised it again. Then Yang Xuan poured him a cup of Sansheng Sanshi. Prince Hui didn't pay attention. The small cup could only hold two qian of wine.
He was bored after just one bite.
"hiss……"
Prince Hui couldn't help but look at the wine glass in his hand: "This wine is strong and mellow enough."
After thinking about it for a while, he smacked his lips and said, "I have never drunk such a delicious wine. It is more mellow than the wine given by the palace. What is the reputation of this wine?"
Yang Xuan poured him another glass: "This wine is called Sansheng Sanshi. Because the alcohol is strong, after drinking a few glasses of wine, you will feel like you are in clouds and mist. If you wake up the next day after being drunk, it will feel like you have passed away.
Therefore, it is called Three Lives and Three Worlds."
"Wonderful!" Prince Hui drank another drink: "This name is wonderful, and this wine is even better. Compared with it, the royal wine in the palace is far behind."
After two more glasses of wine, Prince Hui suddenly said: "Otherwise, can this wine be included in the royal purchase?"
When Yang Xuan heard this, his eyes widened immediately. The royal merchants were the ones who purchased the products from the royal family. If nothing else, just the name of this exclusive product for the royal family could make the wine of Sansheng Sansheng popular in the entire Dasheng Dynasty.
.
The wine that the emperor and his majesty likes to drink, and the wine that is given to ministers, can it be any different?
At that time, let alone 20 taels per pot, it is not impossible to sell 50 taels per pot.
Yang Xuan quickly raised his hand to Prince Hui and said, "Your Majesty, if this happens, we will take care of all the wine you drink from now on, Your Majesty."
Prince Hui immediately beamed. He was a good drinker. How could he miss such a fine wine? Although he was not short of money, the price was not cheap.
A pot of wine only costs twenty taels, and it costs twenty taels of silver. You must know that twenty taels of silver can even buy a dancing girl, and it is of high quality.
In an ordinary family, twenty taels is enough to feed and clothe a family of three for a year.
After eating and drinking, Prince Hui returned home happily with twenty bottles of Sansheng Sanshi wine prepared by Yang Xuan.
After Prince Hui left, Yang Xuan discussed with His Royal Highness Prince Chun and Shopkeeper Zhou: "The taste of this wine is no problem. If it can be selected by the royal family to be purchased, there will be no problem in sales. The only thing missing now is the packaging.
.”
"Packaging?" His Royal Highness Prince Chun was holding the wine pot and asked puzzledly: "Isn't this pretty good?"
"No, no," Yang Xuan said: "Most people pay attention to value for money. Brother Lu, you are not short of money, so naturally you think it doesn't matter, but if we want to expand the market, we need to let this
If wine seems to be a good value for money, then some people who may or may not want to buy it will spend money to buy it.”
“But what does this have to do with packaging?”
"Of course it does matter. Let's make the jug more refined. Then after the wine is finished, the jug can still be used as a decoration, right?"
Yang Xuan said: "The wine pot is exquisite enough and pleasing to the eye. If placed at home, it can also show the owner's level and taste when guests visit."
"Then what kind of hip flask is needed?"
"This wine pot must be unique, and it must be worth a lot of money at a glance." Yang Xuan played with the wine pot in his hand and said: "The common wine pot will definitely not work, so we have to design it ourselves.
And production, speaking of which, does Brother Lu have a porcelain kiln business in his family?"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun smiled slightly: "This really exists."
Yang Xuan really wanted to pick up this guy's collar and go to his house to see what he had and didn't have.
However, he endured it. He knew that this guy's identity should not be investigated deeply. This guy was probably a relative of the emperor. Otherwise, how could he freely come and go in Prince Hui's palace? Moreover, Prince Hui's attitude towards him was also thought-provoking.
Well, it's better not to pierce this layer of window paper.
"It would be great."
Yang Xuan said: "The task of making the wine pot will be left to you."
His Royal Highness Prince Chun was confused: "But what style should it be made in?"
Yang Xuan touched his chin and pondered. The bottles of liquor in later generations were either glass bottles, retro ceramic bottles, or jars.
It was too difficult to make glass. Based on his memories from later generations, he only knew that it would be possible to burn it with sand, but he didn't know how high it would be to burn it and what other techniques were involved.
And the retro ceramic bottle was not even as exquisite as the ordinary wine flask in his hand.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of what kind of bottle to use as a wine flask.
"Well, let's go to your porcelain kiln tomorrow and we'll make a decision."
According to Yang Xuan's idea, this bottle must be worth about two taels of silver to achieve the effect he expected.
