Soon, after the winery was completed, it was time to make wine.
Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was quite reliable. He found a lot of winemakers for him. They were basically all people from his Cheng family's winery who sent them to him.
Then, it was the brewing process.
Because Fang Yi 'ai's wine-making process was different from what they had experienced before, Fang Yi' ai taught them briefly.
After a few rounds, these winemakers quickly grasped the core and were able to brew on their own.
After a few more days, the liquor was finally brewed.
At this moment.
The winery was filled with the fragrance of strong liquor. Many people smelled it and came to inquire.
The brewers were all ecstatic. The wine had not been sold yet.
There were already so many people asking about it. When the time came, it would definitely be snatched up.
However, it had to be said that this wine was indeed very fragrant. Moreover, just the smell alone was very strong.
It was completely different from the other wines in Chang 'an.
"Fangxian male, our wine hasn't even been sold yet, but it has already attracted so many people. It seems that when we really sell this wine, it will definitely cause a frenzy.”
"Of course." Fang Yi 'ai said lightly.
At that time, not only would the wine drive people crazy…
And the small amount of perfume that he had developed would also make people go crazy.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. All the wine was basically ready to be sold.
Fortunately, Fang Yi 'ai had already bought a shop to sell wine.
The waiter in the shop had just placed the wine from the winery on the table when the customers who had already formed a long line outside immediately rushed up.
"Waiter, give me a jar of wine."
"Didn't you come later? Why did you run in front of me? Get out of my way. Waiter, give me a jar.”
"Waiter, here are 1200 taels of silver. Give me three jars!”
……………
Outside the wine shop, those dignitaries had no image to speak of. It was as if they were addicted to alcohol. They fought to buy wine, afraid that they would run out if they were late.
As early as a few days ago, they had already smelled the fragrance of wine when they passed by. A few people were even lucky enough to be brought in to taste it.
When they came out after tasting it, all of them were full of praise, making the spectators outside itch.
As soon as the wine shop announced its opening time, these people had been waiting early in the morning. The queue was like a long dragon.
The officials and nobles who bought the liquor were ecstatic. They hugged the liquor as if they were holding a treasure and left in a hurry.
Those who didn't manage to buy it were crying and regretful.
In less than an hour, all the wine had been snatched away.
"Why are they sold out? Waiter, when will there be more tomorrow?”
"That's right. How much wine is this? Can you produce more?”
"Waiter, this is two thousand taels. I'll order five jars of wine!”
"I also want to make a reservation…"
Everyone took out silver and threw it on the table.
The waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't receive any orders to order wine.
Thinking of this, the waiter immediately said,"Everyone, I'm sorry. Our shopkeeper didn't say that we could make a reservation, so come tomorrow morning. I guarantee that there will be wine.”
When those people heard this, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, and their hearts turned cold.
However, they couldn't make a reservation now, so they could only send someone to buy it early tomorrow.
Thinking of this, everyone could only leave.
On the other side, Princess Xiang Cheng also brought the remaining few bottles of perfume into the restaurant.
This restaurant had always been the place where the young ladies of the official families gathered.
At this moment.
The princess of Xiang City was surrounded by many young ladies and some madams. They had been waiting here for a long time.
When they saw Princess Xiang Cheng walk in, they immediately rushed forward.
"Princess Xiang Cheng." Everyone bowed, but their eyes were fixed on the brocade box in the servant girl's hand. Their eyes immediately lit up, and they were extremely excited.
The perfume that they had been longing for was inside.
At the thought of this, they became even more attentive to Princess Xiang Cheng.
"Your Highness, your clothes are really beautiful today. It accentuates your youth and beauty even more.”
"That's right. The princess is simply too beautiful. We can't compare.”
……
Hearing these praises, Princess Xiang Cheng was naturally delighted. She immediately said,
"Sisters, you flatter me. By the way, I've already brought the perfume, but there are only five bottles left. My husband said that it's not the blooming season yet, so there's no way to make it.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately scrambled to speak,
"Princess Xiang Cheng, I want this perfume.”
"I want it too."
"No matter how much it costs, I'll buy it.”
Looking at everyone fighting to be the first, Princess Xiang Cheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. She slowly said,"A bottle of perfume costs a thousand taels."
A thousand taels?
Everyone was stunned.
Wasn't this too expensive?
"Princess Xiang Cheng, this is a thousand taels. I want a bottle first.”An official's wife directly took out silver and got a bottle of perfume.
There were only four bottles left.
The young ladies of the official families immediately took out their silver taels, and in a short while, they were all snatched away.
Those who did not manage to snatch it were all filled with regret. They all begged the Princess of Xiang City to inform them in time if there were more.
Princess Xiang Cheng nodded. After a small commotion, everyone started chatting again.
The next day, as Hou Junji was drinking, the Marquis Madam angrily rebuked,
"You actually spent four hundred taels of silver on a jar of wine. You're really a prodigal!”
"Madam, this wine is really top-notch.”Hou Junji praised.
"Then take your time. I'm going to buy perfume.”
When the Marquis Madam mentioned perfume, her eyes lit up and she turned to leave.
Hou Junji couldn't help but feel puzzled. What was this perfume?
Could it be fragrant water?
"You, come here. What's perfume?”Hou Junji pointed at a servant.
When the servant heard this, he immediately walked forward and gestured,"Old Master, it's about this small bottle of liquid. I don't know what's inside, but it's about a thousand taels of silver.”
Hou Junji's body trembled, and the wine glass in his hand nearly fell to the ground!
Good heavens, this little thing actually cost a thousand taels, and he still said that he was a prodigal?
