"Alright, since the Duke of Qi is willing to compensate us, then we can talk about the wine…!”
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He changed the topic and continued,""However, this Bejewelled Nectar is very difficult to brew. As for the price, it's this much for one catty…!”
As he spoke, he raised a finger!
"Yiguan? Haha…! I thought it was a lot, but I, Old Cheng, ordered a thousand catties!”
Cheng Yaojin was very fast. He didn't bargain and directly ordered 1,000 catties!
"I…500 jin!"
Yuchi Gong also wanted to order more, but he was short of money and could only order 500 catties.
He was not like the Zhangsun Clan, who had no business acumen, and the emperor's rewards were few. His total income was only the 1,000 mu of land and his monthly salary.
That was fine. The financial power of the family was all in the hands of his wife. He could usually only take out a few dozen strings at most.
"Since it's always the same, then I'll order ten thousand catties!”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up as he hurriedly reported a number.
This kind of wine was worth even five strings of wine, let alone one!
As for money, he was not worried at all!
With the assets under their family name and the emperor's usual rewards, they could still take out tens of thousands of strings!
"You've misunderstood, it's ten strings per catty…!”
Upon seeing their reactions, Li Xuan, who had been holding his finger up, finally bid.
He stretched out his finger. He had originally wanted to test these three old fellows. Seeing that they were so fast and did not find it expensive, he directly increased it by ten times.
If he didn't scam them of some money, would he scam the tenants instead?
"Ten strings…?"
Hearing what he said, Yuchi Gong was instantly dumbfounded. He had always felt sorry for the price. Now that he suddenly said ten strings, his heart twitched!
One had to know that ordinary three-strangle pulp was only five wen per catty, and even tribute wine was only a hundred wen!
At this moment, not only him, but Cheng Yaojin also couldn't laugh!
With his alcohol tolerance, he would be able to drink at least 100 catties every month. If he were to calculate it according to ten strings of coins, his monthly expenses would be 1,000 strings of coins!
It seemed that no one could afford such a huge expenditure except the emperor!
Zhangsun Wuji, who had been in high spirits just a moment ago, frowned when he heard the price.
10,000 catties was 100,000 strings of strings. He wouldn't be able to gather this amount even if he sold everything, unless he borrowed it from the emperor!
"Oh right, this wine can only be brewed about a thousand catties a year. If His Majesty wants to take away a few hundred catties, there won't be any for you!”
Seeing the trio hesitate, Li Xuan continued.
"Ten strings isn't a high price. I, Old Cheng, want all of them, haha…!”
"The price is very fair. I want as much as you have…!”
"Nephew, I'll order 100 catties. When can I hand over the wine?”
Hearing that the production was very low, the three people who were originally hesitant started to buy it.
"The first batch of wine will only be available in about a month!”
Li Xuan thought for a moment and deliberately lengthened the time.
"Nephew, can you hurry up? The greedy worms in Old Cheng's stomach have been hooked out!”
When Cheng Yaojin heard that it would take such a long time, his face immediately became bitter.
Just now, it was gone after a sip. This feeling of wanting to drink but not being able to drink was very uncomfortable.
"By the way, this so-called reservation requires you to pay for the wine first. Does anyone have any objections?”
Li Xuan explained to them.
"That's easy to say. I'll get someone to send the money to you tomorrow!”
"As long as the wine can be brewed quickly, money is easy to talk about!”
"When I go back tonight, I'll go and ask the old woman for money. You can come to my residence tomorrow to get it!”
This time, the three of them were very quick and did not hesitate at all.
"Well, to celebrate our successful business, I'll treat everyone to hotpot…! Oh right, half a bowl of wine for everyone!"
"Really? That's great!"
"Thank you, nephew…"
"You two brats, remember, you are not allowed to drink that half bowl of wine later.”
……
"Hiss…! So spicy! It's so delicious!"
It was the first time Yuchi Gong, Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chubi had eaten hotpot. They kept sucking, but the chopsticks in their hands never stopped.
"Brat, I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve…!”
Li Er finished the mutton and dipped it in the garlic and vinegar in the bowl. He said happily.
The last time they came, they didn't have these dipping sauces. They didn't expect it to be even more delicious!
"Your Majesty, since you've accepted the betrothal gifts, shouldn't you bestow the marriage?”
Seeing him eat happily, Li Xuan hurriedly mentioned the marriage!
"No hurry, Lizhi is still young, only twelve years old.”
Li Er stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and changed the topic. He said proudly,"However, if you can prepare a generous gift that will satisfy Zhen, it's not like the betrothal can't be brought forward!”
