For today's opening, Yuchi Baolin specially called over Xu Zengliang, a shopkeeper who has been working in his house for more than ten years.
"Shopkeeper, I wonder how much this fairy wine costs? Such a good wine, it shouldn't be cheap!" A man with a beard suddenly asked.
Xu Zengliang thought about the price Lin Xuan told him, and his expression was a little unnatural. However, having been a shopkeeper for more than ten years, his psychological quality was still good. He laughed: "The price is indeed not cheap, one pound is the same! This wine is
It’s not worth the price, you have to taste it to know!”
"What! A pound of money? Why don't you go and grab it?"
"That's right, it's too much! I usually have enough money to buy more than a hundred buckets of rice, so I'm a fool to buy your kilogram of wine!"
As soon as they heard that a kilogram of wine cost a pound of wine, they immediately aroused public outrage, and everyone yelled and cursed.
Normally, a bushel of rice only costs five cents. Although the price has increased a lot now, you can still buy more than a hundred bushels of rice with the same money.
Most of the onlookers were ordinary people. Although the people in Chang'an were richer than those in other places, few were willing to buy a pound of wine.
Xu Zengliang did not refute, and waited quietly for them to finish scolding. After a while, he said: "Everyone, you will only know how much this wine is worth after you taste it. By then, if you feel that this wine is not worth the money, try it."
You can leave after that!"
"Haha! I want to see what kind of wine it is, and how dare you sell it for a pound!"
"I won't buy it anyway. It's so expensive. You think we are all fools!"
"The best wine in Chang'an only costs more than 200 yuan per catty, but your wine is four or five times more expensive than theirs!"
Xu Zengliang saw the excited expressions on everyone's faces, so he didn't panic. He raised his hand and said, "Come here, bring out the wine!"
Hearing the sound, I saw ten waiters bringing out ten altars of immortal drunkenness from the store!
When selling, you definitely don’t want to use jars weighing twenty kilograms each for storage.
Lin Xuan specially ordered everyone to switch to small jars containing one catty, medium jars containing three catties, and large jars containing ten catties.
The ten jars that the man brought out were all packed in three kilograms, totaling thirty kilograms.
"Everyone, this wine is like a drunken god, open the jar!" Xu Zengliang waved his hand, and ten men opened the lid of the wine jar.
Suddenly, a faint aroma of wine spread to the surroundings.
"This scent..."
"No wonder it is called Shenxian Zui. Just by smelling it, I feel that this wine is strong and mellow. It is a rare and good wine."
"This is a wine that is hard to find, no wonder it sells so expensively."
The onlookers were all intoxicated when they smelled the aroma of wine and started talking about it.
"Didn't you say free tasting? Come on, let me try it." Someone couldn't help shouting.
"That's right, let us try it quickly."
"Could it be a lie?"
The others were already so greedy that they all agreed upon hearing the words.
Xu Zengliang said loudly, "The free tasting must be true. Please line up and come one by one."
The crowd of onlookers heard this and lined up obediently as required.
"Pour the wine." Xu Zengliang signaled.
The waiter first pours the wine into the jug, and then pours it into the prepared small wine glasses.
"No way! Just let us taste this little?" The first person in line was a strong man. When he saw that the wine glass was really small, a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.
"Just be content! They gave you a drink for free, but with so many people there, if they give you too much to drink, will they still be able to do business?" A person next to him said angrily.
Some people looked disdainful, "I want to see how delicious this wine is, and how dare you sell it for a pound!"
"Please!" Xu Zengliang signaled to the strong man that he could drink.
The strong man couldn't wait to pick up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
The strong man shouted loudly: "What a good wine! Once this wine enters your throat, the rest of the wine will be difficult to swallow!"
When the people behind heard the strong man's words, they couldn't help shouting: "Get out of the way when you've finished drinking. We haven't drunk yet."
The strong man was intoxicated. When he heard the others scolding him, he smiled and got out of the way.
The people behind quickly came forward to pick up the wine and started drinking.
"Good wine! If your family is not in a difficult situation, you must buy a pound!" The man sighed softly after drinking, with a helpless look on his face.
…
"Lin Xuan, so many people have drank it, how come no one buys it?" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but ask.
More than a hundred people have tasted it, and even though they said it was good, no one bought it.
Yuchi Baolin and Li Dejiao also looked at Lin Xuan anxiously.
The wine is good, but it’s useless if no one sells it.
They were wondering whether they should persuade Lin Xuan to lower the price.
"Why are you in a hurry? Those who didn't notice the taste are ordinary people. It's strange that they can afford it." Lin Xuan was not in a hurry at all.
He priced it so high and had no intention of selling it to the public.
There are so many noble families in Chang'an, is a pound of wine always expensive?
As long as the reputation spreads, there is no need to worry about selling.
"They can't afford it because the price is too high. Why don't we just lower the price?" Yuchi Baolin said.
"No, the price cannot be lowered, and there is a purchase limit. No one can buy more than five kilograms." Lin Xuan firmly disagreed with the price reduction.
"I said to Lin Xuan, no one is buying it, so you still want to restrict purchases?" Cheng Chumo and the others looked puzzled.
"You don't understand. The people coming now are ordinary people. When the immortal drunkenness spreads throughout Chang'an, people will come to buy it." Lin Xuan said lightly.
"I believe this, but why do you limit it?" Cheng Chumo asked.
There is no shortage of rich people in Chang'an. Let alone selling a piece of wine, there are people who buy even if the wine sells for ten pieces.
"Things that are rare are valuable, so we limit purchases so that others will think our wine is rare." Lin Xuan explained.
"But with the purchase limit, we can't sell much wine in a day." Li Dejiang said.
You can't afford such expensive wine to begin with. How many can you sell in a day after the purchase limit?
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Are you stupid? I ask you, if you like this wine, each person can only buy five kilograms, what will you do?"
"We want to buy, but who dares not to sell? I don't think he wants to open his store." Cheng Chumo said with confidence.
Yuchi Baolin and Li Dejiang nodded in agreement.
Lin Xuan patted his forehead, feeling that he could no longer communicate with them.
I'm just making a hypothesis. What do you mean by giving me the expression of a playboy?
"Once we limit the purchase, those who want to buy it will be better if they send a few more servants to buy it."
Lin Xuan explained everything directly to them.
He originally wanted to show off, but now he has completely given up and is simply playing the piano to others.
"If that's the case, why are there still purchase restrictions?" Cheng Chumo scratched his head and asked.
"hehe"
Your question makes sense, but I am speechless.
"Just listen to me." Lin Xuan was too lazy to explain to them.
