Chapter 750
Imperial City, Xicheng District, Stone Street.
There are shops on both sides of the stone street, mainly selling groceries, both in the north and the south, as well as some local specialties, which are relatively high-end, and the prices are much higher than those in the East Market.
In the middle of the street, there is a time-honored shop called Wangjia Liquor Shop. It is said that it has been in business for a hundred years, and it has survived for three generations. From one shop to three on the left and right, the business is getting more and more prosperous. Although it is not famous in the north and south, but It can also be called a well-known sentence.
The store mainly sells wine, and also sells some spicy side dishes with the wine, no seats are provided, only take-away. The most famous ones are the spicy rabbit head and chicken gizzards. Every day, those who want to buy have a long queue and only 100 copies are sold out.
The side dishes sold by the way are so popular, and the main wine is naturally more sought after by many people.
Wine can be said to be ever-changing, and the simple fermentation process can play countless tricks. Some people like to drink strong alcohol, like the fishy or mellow taste when it enters the throat, and like the dryness and heat like being on fire. But some people don't like spirits, and even feel that pouring spirits after three or two cups is not the way to taste wine, and it's just asking for trouble.
Moreover, drinking spirits is easy to cause trouble, and some people who need to keep a clear mind at all times are not so interested in spirits. Relatively mild water wine is the main selling item in this store. Among them, the most sought after is a kind of mince wine bottled in small hip flasks.
The taste of this kind of mincemeal wine is not fixed, but changes with different seasons of the year. The fruit aromas of spring, summer, autumn and winter are different in four seasons, and it is said that one pot can drink all four seasons.
Moreover, the wine here is not cheap, it is more than double the price of ordinary fruit wine. Ordinary people will not spend this money to drink "Four Seasons". They prefer peach wine, orange wine, and apricot wine that are cheap and taste similar. Only some "upper class" who pay attention to subtle taste and grade are the most sought after mince wine in this store. He even made a set of wine tasting methods himself, saying it is Fengya.
However, the high price of the products in Wang's wine shop is not really due to flattery, but because of solid confidence. First of all, the quality of Baiguo Wine is indeed very high. From the selection of materials to the craftsmanship, they all have their own set of strict requirements. What they pursue is the subtle taste changes and unique taste and smell memory.
The Wang family has its own winery outside the city, orchards in various places in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and even a large sorghum field. All the raw materials are grown and selected by themselves. Take the exquisite gimmick to the extreme, and the payoff is a substantial premium for the wine.
Of course, not every pot of wine is the same. The best wine in the middle is naturally the most expensive, with a higher price, and will not be sold casually. After waiting for the guests to come, they will take them out of the wine cellar and give them to the guests.
Therefore, the wine cellar is a very important part of the production and sales of Wang's wine shop.
It is not easy to build a wine cellar in any place. Some places are too damp to be dug down, and some places are too dry. It is not easy to find a suitable place. Moreover, the daily maintenance of the wine cellar is also very troublesome. It depends on experience to decide whether to set up a charcoal fire or put a water basin in it. Generally, the masters in the wine cellar have more than ten or twenty years of experience before they can get started, and they all slowly come out of apprenticeships.
On the contrary, the handling of the wine cellar is easier. As long as you have enough strength to go in and out of the warehouse, and you have the opportunity to get acquainted with the master of the wine cellar, you may be able to learn some skills in wine cellar maintenance in the future, and you will have no worries in your life Eat and wear.
Therefore, even the guy in charge of porting in the wine cellar is a very tight job. If you want to squeeze in, you have to be smart enough, and at the same time, you have to be appreciated by the manager.
"Liao Er! Push the cart to the back door. The wine delivery person is due to arrive today. There are 20 boxes in total. You can sort it out, then sign and move it down." The person who spoke was the manager of the wine cellar, who was also in charge of the wine cellar.
The Liao Er that the steward said was a skinny young man, he looked very strong, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, he had sharp eyes, and he was a clever young man. He had not been here for a long time, but he was diligent and sensible. He is in charge of all the things out of the warehouse, and sometimes the wine compartments are also handed over to him, and there has never been a mistake.
It's a pity that such a good man will not be able to be retained. It is said that his family urged him to go back to get married, and he will have to leave in half a month. It is not clear whether he will come back next time. So the current manager is also worried about whether to find another smart young man.
"Okay Uncle Zhang, I'll go right away." Liao Er replied, put down his work, picked up the cart against the wall by the door, and walked outside, up a slope full of chiseling marks, outside, and then along the Follow the stone road to the alley behind the shop.
Every few days the wine from the wine shop will be delivered to the store, and it needs to be packed in the wine cellar as soon as possible.
Hey, the back alley is quiet today, usually the businesses of every household in the back alley go in and out of the warehouse, and the alley is usually very lively. This was the first time Liao Er had come to the store for so long that the back alley was so quiet during the day.
A thought flashed in his mind, and the simple smile on Liao Er's face gradually disappeared. He looked at a carriage that had already driven in at the entrance of the alley. Apart from the wine box and the driver, there were three people squatting in the carriage.
None of these people had ever met before.
Abruptly, Liao Er turned around, and at some point there were more people in the deep alley behind him, and the alley seemed to be blocked by them.
Looking up, there are people standing on the roofs of the houses on both sides at this time, each holding a drawn long knife in his hand, wearing a black brocade robe, with a dark red taotie pattern embroidered on the chest.
Xuan Qingwei? !
I wanted to go back again, but the door behind me "disappeared", and even the whole alley was plunged into a haze like smoke and illusion.
Changing someone's position in Liao Er's position might not make him pee out of fright, but Liao Er's only smile disappeared, and his eyes changed from the harmless and green eyes to sharp as a blade.
"Tsk tsk, Xuan Qingwei is different. You can find me here. If you knew it, you wouldn't have stayed any longer. Just leave and change places. Bad luck."
Liao Er's voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself. At this time, he flipped his hands, and held a piece of bright yellow talisman paper between the index finger and middle finger of both hands. On the arm, the crackling sound is frightening!
At the same time, Xuan Qingwei on the approaching carriage and blocking the back alley also raised their aura one after another, also holding talismans in their hands, all of which were all running thunder talismans, and they directly raised them without saying a word, turning into Nearly ten dazzling thunderbolts fell on Liao Er who was blocked in the middle of the alley.
"Using talismans in front of the talisman master? Who are you looking down on?"
With a disdainful smile, I saw Liao Er crossed his hands, and then spread them out to both sides, as if stretching his waist. If the thunder wrapped around his arms had suction, he actually pulled nearly ten to the Thunder Talisman All the power was sucked away, except that the thunder wrapped around his arm was even more ferocious and frightening, but it didn't cause any damage to Liao Er!
