There were three types of wine in Li Qin's shop: the moderate alcohol content of the Dream Entangling Brew, the high alcohol content of the Cold Wine, and the rich taste of the Thousand Gold Drunk.
It could be said that in terms of wine, there was no better wine in Chang 'an or even the entire Tang Empire!
Li Qin picked up a large jar of wine and poured the prepared base wine into the pot.
This pot was modified by him after he transmigrated. It was used for purification, and it was the source of the Dream Entangling Brew and the Cold Wine.
Because he didn't know how to adjust the fragrance before, he only went through simple purification.
Now that he had the knowledge of Heavenly Craftsmanship and Qian Jin Drunk was going to be his main wine, he naturally had to make it even more meticulously.
Li Qin was still not very satisfied with that small jar of Thousand Gold Drunk. Although it could be considered a first-class wine in the Great Tang, it was far from enough in his heart.
The fire tongues spat out, and in a short while, the pot began to boil.
Slowly, liquid flowed out of the straw connected to the wine jar, and the strong fragrance of the wine filled the entire room.
After about an hour, the wine in the wine jar increased.
However, this thing was not drinkable yet. It was all high-purity alcohol.
It needed to be diluted with the fragrance liquid that had been prepared beforehand.
The Great Tang didn't have strong alcohol, so the Dream Entangling Brew and the Cold Wine had been greatly diluted. The Dream Entangling Brew was more than 20 percent alcohol, while the Cold Wine was only 30 percent alcohol. In modern times, it was far from being considered strong alcohol.
Since this Thousand Gold Drunken Wine was targeted at scholars and women, the alcohol content could not be high. It had to be based on taste.
When people were busy, time always passed quickly.
Another hour passed, and Thousand Gold Drunk went through the steps of blending and thinning, becoming three full jars of wine. Li Qin scooped some with a wooden spoon.
It was really fragrant!
After taking a sip, Li Qin's heart trembled. It was not because it was too delicious, but because his heart ached.
He took a sip and found that it was all money. Not to mention the price of the osmanthus, there were also some Chinese medicinal herbs inside. Just the three jars of wine alone cost him ten taels of silver, and that was not counting the others.
However, the result was still good. This wine was many times better than the first drunk wine.
He carefully sealed the wine jar and locked the door. His movements were gentle, as if he was treating a peerless treasure.
After he was done with his work, Li Qin took a quick shower and changed into a clean robe. He lay on the warm brick bed and began to ponder while eating the snacks and wine he had made himself.
In this way, he really had the embryonic form of waiting for death.
He definitely couldn't make a living by selling wine. He would definitely become an official in the future. Although it was said that officialdom was as deep as the sea, at least his status as an official would be high.
With the Chronicles of the Great Tang in his mind and the support of Minister Du, he had no worries about not being able to rise to the top.
It was just that this system was a little unreliable.
The current situation was that they needed to quickly find a way to make the wine famous in Chang 'an and earn money to buy an official position. That was the most practical thing.
To make money, he had to expand the scale of the tavern first.
Although he was short of money and opened the wine shop on his own boat, it was not a good idea to keep floating on the water. One had to be down-to-earth.
Moreover, the wine house could not accommodate too many people, so it was not a way to earn money.
"I still have to think of a way to get some money, then expand the scale and hire a few more people to work for me. Isn't it nice to be comfortable?”
"Oh right, there are no more laurel petals. I have to go to Hundred Fragrance Square after closing tomorrow!”
"Another huge sum of money!"
Money, money, money. In his previous life, he had been worried about money. He did not expect that after transmigrating, he still had to worry about money.
Blowing out the oil lamp, Li Qin sighed faintly in the darkness.
He was probably the one who had it the worst among the transmigrators.
I'm homesick.
At night, the main hall of the Imperial Palace was still brightly lit.
Li Shimin, who had been exhausted for a day, was shocked when he saw Empress Zhangsun's injured finger.
"Guanyin maid, what happened to you?”
"How did your finger get injured like this?"
Empress Zhangsun's expression was gentle as she said softly,""Erlang, don't worry."
"Earlier, I saw that Ba 'er was wearing thin clothes and didn't look rich.”
"I just wanted to make him a mink coat.”
Li Shimin gently held Empress Zhangsun's hand and said with heartache,""Why are you doing this? Just send someone to buy one."
Empress Zhangsun shook her head slightly and revealed a trace of sadness." Erlang, I haven't done my duty as a mother for so many years.”
"Now that I've found him, I want to do something for him personally.”
"I just don't know if Ba 'er will like it.”
Li Shi Min's gaze was gentle as he said softly,"Ba 'er will definitely like it."
"Speaking of which, I have good news for you.”
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
Empress Zhangsun was a little surprised to see the Emperor so happy." What is it?”
Li Shimin then recounted Li Qin's strategy one by one. At the end, Empress Zhangsun's entire body froze.
"Is this really Ba 'er's idea?"
Li Shi Min nodded." Yes."
"When Du Ruhui told this one, even this one was shocked.”
"I didn't expect Ba 'er to be born into a merchant family and actually have such a strategy.”
"Then Your Majesty must reward him well," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.”
"The last time I chatted with Ba 'er, I saw that he had the intention of getting married.”
"These few days, I've been thinking. Ba 'er has also reached the age of marriage.”
"If he had a wife to accompany him, I think it would make that child not so lonely.”
"Erlang, do you know which daughter in the imperial court is suitable for Ba 'er?”
Li Shi Min looked at the Goddess of Mercy's hesitant expression and knew that she already had a candidate in her mind. Now that she had deliberately opened her mouth, it was just to make the Emperor speak.
Who in the world would dare to disobey the Emperor's decree and the marriage?
Thus, Li Er had the thought of teasing Empress Zhangsun and pretended to be deep in thought." I once saw the youngest daughter of Duke Lu. She was beautiful and her age was similar to Ba 'er.”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head repeatedly.
These few days, Empress Zhangsun had indeed taken Li Qin's marriage to heart.
The daughter of the Cheng Yaojin family was good-looking, but she had a carefree personality. The key was that she always liked to wield knives and guns.
This would not do. What if they got into a fight after they married?
With Ba 'er's frail body, how could he withstand a beating?
This was definitely not possible.
"Erlang, think about it again. Is there a beautiful and educated girl?”
Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but give a hint.
Li Shimin's heart softened when he saw Empress Zhangsun's innocent appearance.
How long had it been?
It had been a long time since Empress Zhangsun had felt so relaxed.
But ever since he met Ba 'er that day, something seemed to have changed.
The wine tavern was not big and was even a little narrow. However, in front of that handsome young man, not only did the Guanyin maid feel relaxed, but even she herself felt relaxed.
Li Shi Min's eyes softened." Then it's only the daughter of the Xing Country's Duke.”
Finally hearing a satisfactory answer, Empress Zhangsun suddenly smiled." That's good." This is good."
Fang Yaoyi was the number one talented woman in Chang 'an. She had a gentle personality and was extremely handsome.
Most importantly, he didn't know martial arts, so he wasn't afraid of being bullied.
"Then I'll go to the house tomorrow to pass on His Majesty's orders.”
Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun, who was unable to hide her joy.
It was as if the little girl who called him Brother Erlang twenty years ago had returned.
"Guanyin maid, you've suffered all these years.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely compensate Ba 'er.”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness." And the matter of Ba 'er's disappearance back then, I will definitely investigate."”
"This time, I will not let Ba 'er be lost again!”
