Chapter 841 Returning to the Emperor's Youth 22
After some discussion, Yun Xi's performance was impeccable, which also made Zhou Guanshi understand that Yun Xi was not as easy to fool as he appeared on the surface. Although he was young, he was a full-fledged human being.
He put away his extra thoughts and wanted to buy Yun Xi's wine.
The master of his family, also known as King An, is addicted to alcohol. If he can dedicate such fine wine to the master, it will definitely bring great convenience to his future.
Yun Xi's purpose was to sell wine. At this time, Manager Zhou offered to buy it, and she happily quoted a price, thirty taels a catty.
When she first entered the wine shop, those people were all looking at her, and they were still talking about how expensive the wine in Zui Xiang Fang was, saying that she must not be able to afford it, etc.
These discussions were naturally heard by Yun Xi.
She also learned that the cheapest wine in Zuixiangfang costs two taels of silver per catty, and the most expensive one is twenty taels per catty. This price is worthy of being a capital city where dignitaries gather.
The wine in Zuixiangfang can be sold for twenty taels a catty, so she asked for thirty taels a catty, which is not too much at all.
Although the cost is indeed not high, rare things are more expensive. The white wine in her hand is the first one in Da Linchao.
As for Manager Zhou, even if he bought it, he would definitely not sell it in the wine shop. With such a small amount of wine, he couldn't even give it as a gift.
Therefore, Yun Xi didn't feel that she asked for a high price at all.
After hearing her quotation, the corners of Butler Zhou's mouth twitched fiercely. This is an even darker master than their Zuixiangfang.
But there is no way, who makes other people's wine really good wine?
In order to please Prince An, Housekeeper Zhou bought the wine in her wine bag even though he was in pain.
There was a total of two catties in it, and Zhou Guanshi poured a glass, which was definitely not enough. Yun Xi charged him thirty taels, saying that the rest of the wine was for him.
This move immediately won the favor of Zhou Guanshi. Zhou Guanshi laughed and asked her how much wine she had left, and he asked for it all.
When the fish took the bait, Yun Xi also smiled softly, "To tell the truth from Manager Zhou, brewing this wine is extremely troublesome, and I am a person who is afraid of trouble, so I only brew 60 catties a year. Fifty catties."
At first, Steward Zhou thought that as long as he had money, he would have to have as much wine as he wanted, but now he heard that it only cost fifty catties a year, is that okay?
So, he eagerly ordered all the remaining wine, but there was one condition, that Yun Xi would not break his promise and sell the excess brewed wine to other wineries.
In this regard, Yun Xi signed the agreement directly, but still added a clause to the agreement, if someone else brewed the same wine, she would not bear any consequences, and she could only guarantee herself.
Although according to Dalin's historical development, baijiu will not appear until at least six hundred years later, but she has already brewed baijiu in advance, so there is no guarantee, and others will follow suit.
In this regard, Zhou Guanshi did not object, but secretly delighted in his heart.
They Zuixiangfang mastered the best brewing technology, even if they researched it, they must have researched it first.
If others can study it, they can too.
The rest of the wine was in Yunxi's space, so it was naturally not easy to take it out on the spot, so Yunxi said that it would be delivered in an hour.
Then, she went to the market, rented a carriage, and took out the wine jar before renting the carriage.
In this way, Heihu's wine jar was successfully washed, loaded into a carriage and sent to the winery.
Manager Zhou was already waiting for her. During the wine test, when he found out that the strength of the two tanks of wine was not the same, Manager Zhou was overjoyed.
This is simply too humane, it takes care of both those who can drink well and those who can't, and there will be an extra choice when giving it away in the future.
For fifty jins of wine, Yun Xi got 1,500 taels of silver, plus the previous thirty taels.
After leaving the winery, Yun Xi first went to the cloth shop in the capital, and bought two bolts of silk cloth with a very good texture, one indigo and one in black.
Two pieces of cloth cost more than one hundred taels of silver, which is something that ordinary people can't even imagine, but Yun Xi didn't care at all, and didn't blink her eyes when paying the bill.
Back at Ji's house, it was just in time for the meal, and Mrs. Li had already prepared the meal.
Because the two bolts of silk cloth were wrapped up, Mrs. Li only thought that she was buying cloth again, but she didn't know that what she bought was actually silk cloth.
Otherwise, Mrs. Li would definitely faint from fright.
After the meal, Yun Xi stayed in the room, writing and drawing with Ji Jiuye's paper and pen and ink, but she didn't know what she was writing.
Li Shi and Ji Jiuye were not surprised that she could write. After all, the original owner was the daughter of a scholar, so it was normal to know that she could write.
In the afternoon, Yun Xi, who had been holding back in the house for a long time, finally went out. She found Mrs. Li and stuffed a money bag into it.
Without waiting for Mrs. Li to ask questions, she took the initiative to say, "Mother, our house is too old. Take this money and find some reliable people in the village. We will buy a new homestead and build a big house."
Today's adobe houses are fine for living in, but they leak when it rains.
It's fine if she doesn't have money, but she doesn't lack money now, so she can't let Ji Jiuye live in such a house anymore.
Li Shi opened the purse and took a look, her little heart trembled violently. This, so much money, she has never seen so much money in her whole life.
"Xi, Xi Niang, where did you get so much money?"
In the past, Mrs. Li had always warned herself not to ask about Yun Xi's source of money, but now, she couldn't bear it no matter what.
It's okay for her to buy such expensive things at home every once in a while, but now she is directly given fifty taels of silver for her to use to build a new house.
Although the Yun family has a good family background, they are not so rich?
Yun Xi knew that Mrs. Li would definitely ask this time. Fortunately, she was already prepared.
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Mother, you didn't notice that the wine tank at home is gone? I sold the wine I brewed."
Lee: ...
Of course she found that the wine jar at home was gone, but she just thought that Yun Xi had put it away in a different place, but who knew she would sell it.
How did she manage to remove the wine quietly?
More importantly, those two tanks of wine only weighed 60 catties, how did they sell for so much money?
It's almost a tael of silver a catty, so expensive, who is willing to buy it?
If Mrs. Li knew that one catty was not sold for one tael of silver, but thirty taels, I don't know how she would feel.
"The wine made by Xi Niang is so valuable."
Mrs. Li said with emotion, squeezed the money tightly, and said, "Seeing that autumn is approaching, Ye'er is bound to take the exam. Xi Niang, the township exam is held in the provincial capital, and Ye'er left home and went there to spend money on food and drink." It’s very costly, why don’t we build the house later, keep the money and let Ye’er take the exam first, is that okay?”
