This time, Cheng Yaojin didn't let them drink too much. He had something important to talk about. After drinking a pot of wine, Wei Zheng and the other civil officials were already half-drunk.
However, for most people, a few taels of wine was not enough to satisfy them.
"Cheng Zhijie, where's the wine?”
Hou Junji poured out the empty wine jug in displeasure.
"Haha, there's plenty of fine wine, but you have to wait for me to finish speaking first. After I've recorded it down, you can drink as much fine wine as you want.”Cheng Yaojin said calmly.
"Zhijie, what's the matter? Hurry up and say it. Don't delay our drinking.”Yuchi Gong said impatiently.
Although he was drunk and had a splitting headache the day before yesterday, when he couldn't drink, his heart felt like a cat scratching it. Therefore, he had been bothering Cheng Yaojin for the past few days.
It was rare for him to drink it again today, but he had almost finished the bottle of Maotai in two or three gulps.
"It's a good thing. What did everyone think of the good wine that they had just tasted?”Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile.
"The fragrance is rich and strong, leaving an endless aftertaste.”
"That's right, I've never drunk such fine wine in my entire life.”
"Hmph, was it wine that I drank before? Compared to this, it's nothing. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to drink it again.”
Everyone chimed in and expressed their opinions.
"Haha, since everyone likes it, then I'll be straightforward. In the future, if any of you want to drink it, you can directly buy it from me.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"Zhijie, can you buy it with money now?”Qin Shubao's eyes lit up.
"What's the price? If it's cheap, I'll buy a thousand catties.”Zhangsun Wuji said.
"Of course it's not very expensive. It's only 550 yuan per catty of wine.”
When Cheng Yaojin announced the price, everyone was secretly shocked.
In the past, when wine was sold, the wineries in Chang 'an City only sold it for six or seven yuan per catty. The better quality wine could be sold for thirty yuan.
Although the two were not on the same level, it could even be said that the difference was like heaven and earth. However, 500 RMB per catty was still a high price.
The monthly salary they received was only a few dozen strings of money. Adding on the other businesses, some of them earned hundreds of strings of money, but didn't that mean that they could only buy a few hundred catties?
"Could it be that everyone thinks it's expensive? But think about it, some of the cloth in the cloth shop only sells for a dozen coins per roll, but the high-quality cloth costs more than ten strings. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could drink a little of such fine wine during festivals or when he invited guests to dinner?”Cheng Yao Jin You said.
Among them, the generals were the most uncomfortable. After tasting the Maotai, they liked the strong liquor now.
After taking a sip, he felt warm all over and his body was filled with strength.
She had wanted to ask Cheng Yaojin after the banquet ended, but he had said it himself.
The pleasant surprise was that if he could buy it, he could drink it anytime in the future. Unfortunately, the price was too high for ordinary people to afford.
"It's a little expensive, but give me ten catties first. If I drink it sparingly, it's enough for my family to drink for a month!!”Fang Xuanling.
"What? You only bought a few catties. It's gone after a few sips. To tell you the truth, although there are a total of 200,000 catties, it will be very difficult to drink after selling them. You can buy more and bury them in the ground. The older the wine, the more fragrant it will be. You can sell it to others at a high price and even earn a sum of money.”Cheng Yaojin looked at Fang Xuanling with disdain.
"Hehe, Zhijie is indeed someone who won't suffer losses. You can also earn a sum by helping others sell wine, right?”Zhangsun Wuji said indifferently.
"Not…not much." Seeing Zhangsun Wuji looking at him sinisterly, Cheng Yaojin's expression was a little unnatural.
"Alright, I'll buy two thousand catties." Zhangsun Wuji laughed.
"Thank you for your support, Brother Fearless." Cheng Yaojin said.
Two thousand catties was not a lot, but there were more than a hundred officials present. If everyone bought two thousand gold, two hundred thousand catties would be sold out immediately.
Unfortunately, not everyone was as generous as Zhangsun Wuji. Shu Bao and the others each weighed 1,000 catties, and the rest weighed dozens or 200 to 300 catties.
Overall, Cheng Yaojin had sold a total of 80,000 catties of Maotai for the banquet.
Cheng Yaojin could earn 4,000 strings of money from them, which was equivalent to buying 8,000 catties of Maotai without having to pay for it himself.
In addition to the 20,000 pounds he had prepared for himself, he had already completed half of the mission Lu Xiu had given him.
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stop smiling.
"Haha, come, everyone, let's drink. Tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk.”Cheng Yaojin said happily.
Knowing that Maotai was a few hundred yuan per catty, everyone wanted to drink as much as they could, so everyone drank as much as they wanted. Coupled with the dishes on the table, the banquet lasted for six hours.
This was especially true for those who were born as generals. Their alcohol tolerance was astonishing. They had almost finished a few hundred catties of fine wine.
