No matter what price he sold it for, the only requirement was that the 200,000 catties of wine had to be sold within a month.
Merchants from all over the Tang Empire gathered in Chang 'an. With the help of the Tang Empire's nobility, it was not difficult to sell 200,000 catties.
"Hehe, don't worry. I, Old Cheng, promise to sell it out within a month. It won't affect Little Brother Lu's marriage.”Cheng Yaojin promised.
"So your surname is Cheng?" Speaking of the surname Cheng, the most famous person in the Great Tang was Cheng Yaojin, so Lu Xiu couldn't help but ask,""Surnames are rare. What's your relationship with Cheng Yaojin?”
"Haha, if I say I'm Cheng Yaojin, would you believe me, Little Brother Lu?”Knowing that Lu Xiu actually knew his name, Cheng Yaojin was very surprised and happy.
"I don't really believe it."
"That Villa Head Lu is actually my father.”
Cheng Chumo whispered.
"I see. No wonder he knew to exchange locusts for Moutai the first time.”Lu Xiu suddenly realized that the two of them had such a relationship.
Lu Xiu was much more relieved to leave the Moutai to him to sell.
…………
When Cheng Yaojin returned to Chang 'an, he immediately sent out invitations to all the ministers in the court.
This time, not only his good friends, but also the not-so-likable Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng had sent people to invite them. A total of more than a hundred people were invited.
Today, Lu Xiu made an exception and exchanged 400 catties of Maotai wine for him to bring back, saying that he wanted him to use it to make a name for himself. Cheng Yaojin looked like a big boss, but he was smart in his heart.
It just so happened that a few days ago, many people had asked about wine, so he could naturally invite them over for a drink.
After they drank it once, Cheng Yaojin didn't believe that they could resist the taste of the Maotai wine. Then, they could naturally collect money and sell the wine.
He didn't dare to raise the price too much.
They were afraid that they would not be able to sell 200,000 catties, so they priced each catty at 550 yuan. It was only 50 yuan higher than what Lu Xiu gave!
Even so, if he could sell 200,000 catties, he could still earn 10,000 strings. To the Cheng family, it could be said to be a considerable amount of wealth.
That night, two huge wine jars were placed in the courtyard. The banquet was moved from the living room to the backyard because the living room was too small to accommodate more than a hundred people.
The two large wine jars instantly attracted the attention of Zhangsun Wuji and the others.
When Cheng Yaojin opened the lid, the rich fragrance of the wine spread out.
As the breeze blew, the courtyard seemed to be filled with a strong smell of alcohol. It was as if a few breaths would make one drunk.
The officials who had been invited finally understood why Cheng Yaojin would be drunk in broad daylight, taking off his clothes and running around the market.
"What fragrant wine! Just the fragrance of the wine alone made people unable to extricate themselves. They did not know what it would taste like after tasting it.”Zhangsun Wuji praised.
"Wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The ancients did not deceive me.”Hou Junji said.
"Yes, it's a rare wine. I thought it would be good if there were a few dozen catties, but I don't know where Zhijie got so much.”Fang Xuanling nodded.
If it weren't for the others, many people would probably lose control and pounce on them to drink a few mouthfuls.
Cheng Yaojin ordered the servants to pour the wine. The two large vats of wine were first poured into wine jugs and placed on each table by the servants.
"Haha, tonight I got five hundred catties of fine wine. Let's not go home until we're drunk. Come, drink with me to your heart's content.”Cheng Yaojin raised his cup, and the others followed suit.
"Cough, cough, cough."
After that, other than a dozen generals, the other civil officials all choked and coughed desperately.
Especially Wei Zheng, his entire face was flushed red.
"How can the wine be so strong?" He had only taken a sip, but it was like a fire burning from his throat to his stomach. The rich wine fragrance lingered in his mouth for a long time. The strong liquor was like a fire burning in his stomach.
"Good wine." As Hou Junji enjoyed the wine, the strong effects of the wine surged into his heart, causing him to cry out. As generals, they naturally loved wine.
However, in the past two years, disasters had continued. Naturally, there was no excess grain to make wine. They had not been able to drink good wine for a long time.
The wine he was tasting now was much better than the best wine he had ever tasted before.
Although Moutai was very strong, it suited his taste. It tasted so good that it was the wine that a warrior on the battlefield should drink.
"Wonderful, rich and strong." Fang Xuanling exclaimed. He didn't expect such strong liquor to exist in this world.
The strength of the wine was several times, or even more than ten times, that of the grape wine drunk in the palace.
He drank a small cup. Although it felt like it was on fire at first, when he tasted it carefully, it left a lingering aftertaste.
