Chapter 167 How many drinks?

Among the four princes who stayed in Beijing, the eldest prince, King Qin Ji, had very little activity. The third prince, King Zhao, Ji Chong, prefer martial arts. The seventh prince, King Wei, Ji Wen, didn't know what happened a few days ago, and he began to close his house and never see guests again. Only the fourth prince, King Qi, Ji Huan, is currently the most widely connected and has the greatest power in the capital.

This young man in purple is not very tall, he is the fourth prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, Ji Huan, the King of Qi.

Cui Jiuniang, standing on the high platform and Li Xin, who was standing on the third floor, frowned at the same time.

Li Xin called Ping'er, the maid beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Now, go and invite His Highness the King of Wei to come."

The Seventh Prince has been busy making wine and delivering it to the north recently, and the steaming speed of the Prince of Wei’s mansion is obviously not enough. His Royal Highness, who is about to buy the Shaochun Liquor Fillet in the south of the city during this period, was so busy that he had no time to come to Deyilou.

The fourth prince came in person. If the seventh prince did not come, no one here was qualified to be an opponent of His Highness, King Qi.

This wine sale was hyped up by Li Xinyong's series of modern marketing methods. His original idea was that these jars of wine will be sold at least two or three hundred cents a jar today, but now the fourth prince has put the price to fifty cents as soon as he comes out.

The Shaochun wine in the south of the city is also a relatively famous wine in the capital. It can be sold for about three or four jin of coins. Ten jin of roasted spring wine can steam about three jin of Zhurong wine, which means that the cost price of a jar of Zhurong wine is ten jin of coins.

Although you can make a lot of money by selling fifty taels now, the price is very watery now. When you really start selling in the future, the price will definitely be reduced a lot. In addition, the process of steaming wine will not make much money by then.

In short, this King of Qi cannot buy these ten jars of wine in one jar of fifty knots.

Cui Jiuniang, who was in charge of the overall situation on the first floor, naturally recognized the seventh prince. She walked off the platform and bent slightly towards the fourth prince in purple: "I have seen Your Highness."

King Ji Huan of Qi narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at Cui Jiuniang, and said in his mouth: "Good figure, no wonder my seventh son often spends the night here."

Cui Jiuniang is the matter of King Wei’s outer room. Although many people in the capital know about it, no one dares to tell it in person. However, the identity of the King of Qi is equivalent to that of the Seventh Prince, so he said it without any scruples.

Jiu Niang's face changed slightly.

She took a few deep breaths and forced a smile at the fourth prince: "Your Highness, the King of Qi, is your Highness coming to buy wine today?"

"yes."

Ji Huan smiled: "I heard that Deyilou has a top-notch spirit wine. I am famous and want to buy it and taste it."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at the spectators in Deyi Building.

"Everyone, Boss Cui said just now that these ten jars of wine are bidding. Now I am fifty-one. Can you give me an additional price?"

You have spoken, who dares to compete with you, a prince...

There was a silence.

Logically speaking, the identity of a prince would not appear openly in the brothel Chuguan to avoid being defamed. Even the seventh prince came to Deyilou on weekdays, but who knew that the fourth prince had actually arrived at Deyilou openly.

Ji Huan put his hands into his sleeves and smiled at Cui Jiuniang: "Boss Cui, it seems that there are not too many people who want to buy your spirits, and no one is willing to bid again."

"Since that's the case, will I take these ten jars of wine away?"

Li Xin frowned secretly on the third floor.

Ten jars of wine are actually trivial matters. The fourth prince simply wanted to buy it and figure out how this liquor was made. Without the method of steaming wine, the fourth prince would never be able to make such pure liquor in his life.

But today is the most critical part of his Zhurong Wine hype, so we can't let this King of Qi disturb him.

Cui Jiuniang on the platform showed a embarrassed look on her face, and she agreed, and she didn't agree.

Li Xin casually called a maid from Deyilou and asked her to send a message to Cui Jiuniang. The girl went down the first floor, walked up the platform, and whispered in Cui Jiuniang's ear.

Jiu Niang breathed a deep breath and smiled at the fourth prince, "Your Highness, the sales of Zhurong wine in the building are not just for making money. The original intention is to allow all drinkers to drink for a long time. Therefore, each of the guests present can buy one jar of these ten jars of wine."

Speaking of this, Cui Jiuniang bent over to Ji Huan and said, "Your Highness is a nobleman on the clouds. Being able to visit Deyi Tower is a blessing for Deyi Tower. I will send someone a jar of wine to the Qi Palace, and I dare not collect your highness's money."

Ji Huan looked at Cui Jiuniang with a smile, then turned around to look at the spectators in Deyilou.

"Everyone, Boss Cui said he would give Gu a jar of wine. Can you buy the remaining nine jars?"

This is a very good question to answer.

No matter how delicious the wine is, it is not as important as life. No one sitting will offend a powerful prince because of a jar of wine.

His Highness, King Qi, put his hands in his wide sleeves, smiled at Cui Jiuniang: "Boss Cui, look, I only have one jar, and they are unwilling to buy other wines. Why don't you sell them all to me?"

This is the suppression caused by the gap in status and status.

Ji Huan, who is not tall, just standing here with a smile, which made Cui Jiuniang feel a little breathless.

Cui Jiuniang, who has always been calm and composed, had no choice for a moment.

Li Xin, who was standing on the third floor, shook his head helplessly and slowly walked down the stairs.

Although my daughter is careful in her daily work, she often loses her calmness and has no thoughts of calmness when encountering emergencies.

Li Xin, dressed in a single green dress, walked slowly down the stairs and bent down to Ji Huan and bowed: "His Royal Highness of Qi."

The fourth prince smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Person Li is young and likes this kind of fireworks?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I'm here to enjoy it. I'm not hiding it from Your Highness. These ten jars of wine are not something from Deyilou, but I put them in Deyilou for consignment. I have been watching upstairs before. Seeing that Boss Cui had no choice, I had to come down to explain clearly to Your Highness."

Ji Huan looked at Li Xin and smiled and said, "So, is Li Zhengwei unwilling to sell this wine to me?"

Li Xin nodded without hesitation.

"Your Highness, Li sells wine today just to make money. Although Your Highness is a noble man, fifty knots are a bit too bullying."

"Today, Your Highness will either take a jar of wine and leave him. In a few days, Li Xin will send a few more jars to the Qi Palace, or he will spend a lot of money to take all the ten jars of wine away."

Ji Huan clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, there are so many people present, only Li Zhengwei dares to talk to me like this. Li Zhengwei, how much does it cost to buy it?"

"Two thousand stakes."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Two thousand guan, Your Highness can take away these wines."

Ji Huan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly to a servant behind him: "Give money."

The annual cost of a prince's mansion is more than 50,000 guan. Moreover, these princes have industries in many places in the capital, and each of them is very rich.

A family of Qianguan can be regarded as a family of middle-aged people. Two thousand guan is an astronomical number for ordinary people, but for the princes of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is just a number.

Soon, the two thousand guan bill of exchange was handed over to Li Xin.

Li Xin took it calmly and bowed to the guests of Deyilou around him, "You can see that these ten jars of wine were bought by His Highness the King of Qi for 200 kilns per jar. It is currently gone, but the wine is still being brewed. After a few days, the new wine will be released and it will still be sold in Deyilou!"

There was an uproar.

This hype could have won a great victory, but now it can be said that it has been ruined by Ji Huan alone.

However, Li Xin also turned the main contradiction to Ji Huan without hesitation.

His Highness King Qi didn't care at all, and squinted his eyes and smiled: "Person Li is a good method. He said he wanted to have a few drinks with Captain Li several times. He has never had a chance. Why don't you give me a favor today?"

Li Xin was silent for a while and finally nodded.
