Chapter 175 The Wine King

There is a separate courtyard of Linlang in Heshengquan Brewery. The two plum blossoms in the yard are blooming just in time. In addition to Chu Huan and Linlang, the master Han Yuan is also in the house and is reporting the situation of the winery to Linlang.

"The grain sent by Quanjusheng can last for more than three months." Han Yuan's expression was still very serious: "But the wine brewed by these grains was ordered last year, so if you cannot confirm that there will be food supply in three months, you should not accept any orders easily. Otherwise, there will be no goods available at that time, and it will definitely breach the contract, causing great losses to us and Shengquan."

Linlang looked solemn and said with a slight slight note: "I know, so I didn't sign a contract with other families." After a pause, he asked: "Someone has made other intentions and deliberately spread the difficulties of our winery. Now rumors are everywhere... Do you have any ideas in the winery?"

Han Yuan pondered for a moment and finally said, "Dadong family, I'll tell you, everyone's mind is indeed a little panicked, and the county town is also rumoring that we and Shengquan are going to close the winery, so everyone is uneasy. There are always many people who are absent-minded and make mistakes frequently when doing things. Fortunately, I had already told them a little bit a little while ago, and everyone's minds have become much more stable, but they are still not at ease."

Linlang sighed lightly: "This is also a helpless thing, and I can't blame everyone."

Han Yuan said seriously: "The big boss, it's okay to suffer some setbacks in the winery. As long as we can hold on, we might be able to survive. But I heard that the Fang family in Xinzhou has taken the opportunity to win people's hearts in the city. The big boss, the Fang family in Xinzhou must be guarded. I am just worried that even if we really survive the difficulties, the wine market that the old boss has spent countless efforts to build will be occupied by others."

Linlang frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and pondered slightly, and then said, "In a few days, the imperial wine selection will begin. There is no other way to solve the current dilemma between us and Shengquan. In fact, I understand in my heart that the Fang family in Xinzhou can be so unscrupulous in Yunshan Prefecture. First, the Fang family is already a bit of strength, and secondly, it is because Liu Juguang and the Fang family colluded with each other and wanted to destroy us and Shengquan. If Liu Juguang did not collude with the Fang family, there would not be so many Yunshan Prefecture merchants at the banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year." After a pause, he continued, "They deliberately suppressed. If we and Shengquan want to survive, there will be only this opportunity for the imperial wine selection. As long as we win the name of imperial wine, all the problems will be solved, otherwise...!" At this point, a wry smile appeared on his pretty face.

Han Yuan immediately said: "Big Head, we must have the name of imperial wine this time. The old boss's lifelong wish is to make He Shengquan's fine wine the imperial wine. Now we are facing such a dilemma again. To be honest, we have no other way out except to win the name of imperial wine."

Linlang nodded and said, "That's right." He asked again, "Is the wine cellar sealed safely?"

Han Yuan nodded and said, "There will be no problem. I will arrange two people to guard the situation every day just in case!"

Chu Huan didn't say anything, and at this time he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a lot of wine stored in the wine cellar?"

Linlang shook his head and smiled, "It's not that I care about the wine stored inside, but there is something inside, we must be foolproof!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan showed a look of confusion.

Linlang had already gotten up and smiled and said, "Let's go over and take a look." At that moment, under Han Yuan's leadership, Chu Huan was led to the wine cellar together, but he asked someone to call Master Liang over and enter the underground wine cellar like last time.

In the wine cellar, there was still a strong aroma of wine. The owner of Liang Fang held up a torch and looked very humble.

This time, before Linlangjing led Chu Huan to an iron gate in the underground wine cellar, Chu Huan was already laughing and said, "Is what you said here?"

He remembered that he had seen the iron gate when he opened the cellar last time. At that time, the iron gate was not opened and he didn't know what was stored inside. Today, Linlang led him over and seemed very cautious. It seemed that the things inside were very important.

Linlang took out a key, carefully opened the iron door, turned around and looked at Master Liang, and said, "Uncle, just wait outside, there is no fire inside!"

Lord Liang nodded, and then Linlang led Chu Huan and Han Yuan into it.

The owner of Liang Fang held a torch in front of the door, and the torch shone into the room. After Chu Huan entered, he found that there was a very narrow room here, and the whole room was dense. As soon as he came in, he even felt stuffy. The four walls and the floor roof of the room were all covered with gold and earth. There was only one table in the room, but there were two molds made of gold and earth on the table, which looked like a wine jar.

Linlang walked to the table, stared at the two molds, and then asked Chu Huan softly: "Do you know what is here?"

Chu Huan said in confusion: "Is it wine?"

Linlang nodded slightly and smiled, "It's wine, but not ordinary wine."

"It's bamboo sake!"

"It's not an ordinary bamboo sake." Linlang smiled and said, "The brewing process is exactly the same as bamboo sake, but it is more mellow than ordinary bamboo sake!" He pointed to the gold and earth mold and said, "These two outer mortars are completely made of the best gold and earth, and are purer than the outside gold and earth. They are wrapped in two jars of bamboo sake. Do you know how long it takes to be left here?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Linlang said solemnly: "This is what my father personally sealed in the next day after the last election defeat. The two jars of wine are a few more days away from here!"

Chu Huan was stunned.

He knew that ordinary bamboo sake can be found in the cellar in half a year under the influence of gold and soil, and the wine is already fragrant and sweet. The gold and soil here are purer, the brewing environment is better than the outdoor room, and it has been stored for five years. What kind of taste will such bamboo sake taste?

"This is the King of Wine!" Linlang's eyes showed a bit of confidence: "This is also our last grasp. If nothing unexpected happens, our Su family's bamboo sake should be able to enter the final showdown with the Fang family. Although the Fang family has inevitably connected the officials behind their backs, if his drinking is too bad, the officials participating in the selection will not dare to shelter them."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "If the poor wine can be rated as imperial wine because of some money, then the nobles in the palace will drink inferior wine at that time, and they will be furious. The Fang family will inevitably be unlucky, and even the officials who selected imperial wine will not be able to escape."

Linlang smiled and said, "That's right." Then he said solemnly, "So although the Fang family secretly prepares it, the wine is not weak in the open. The best one in Miaocaotang is Qianyehong. In the past five years, I guess they must have prepared fine wine. My father built this golden and earth cellar for this selection, and these two jars of wine kings were also sealed by his father. If he could finally show up with the Fang family, then these two jars of wine kings would definitely come in handy!"

Han Yuan said supremely: "In the last election, the Fang family colluded with the selection officials and took away the name of the imperial wine. This time I want to see if the imperial court would send the stolen officials to come? Not to mention the two wine kings on Xishan Road, even in the entire Qin Empire, it is one of the best. If this is not successful, it would be really a sightless thing." Xiang Linlang asked: "Dadong family, will these two wine kings be brought back to the city today?"

Linlang shook his head and said, "The old wine that has just come out of the cellar is the most mellow. Although there are only a few days left to be selected for the imperial wine selection, it will take some time to enter the final evaluation. When we finally confront the Fang family, we should take out the wine king and we will have a few more chances of winning."

Han Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Big Head, from today on, I will send additional staff here to guard it and will not let anyone approach."

Linlang smiled and said, "Everything is done is a great master."

Seeing Linlang full of fighting spirit, Chu Huan smiled slightly. When Linlang saw Chu Huan looking at her, her face couldn't help but feel hot and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Seeing that the big boss is so confident, I think we and Shengquan will definitely win the name of imperial wine this time." Chu Huan smiled and said, "Let the people in Yunshan Mansion take a look. The real wine king is still with Shengquan!"

Chu Huan and Linlang stayed in the county town for a while and arranged some things before returning to the city. At this time, the inns in the city were already full, and wine merchants and wine merchants were still coming from all over the place. On the streets of Yunshan Mansion, carriages followed one by one, and a flag would be placed on the carriages of wine merchants, and their names would be marked on the flags.

For example, "Huizhou Qianli Xiangqian" and "Tongzhou Baihe Quanzhao", the place name in front is the winery name in the middle, and the last is the surname, which is vertically swaying on the carriage, just waiting for an advertisement for yourself.

This is a grand event in the wine industry. The wineries that are participating in, no matter how big or small, will show off their pomp and earn some face.

Chu Huan and Linlang rushed back to the mansion before dusk. As soon as they entered the mansion, the fat Liu had already come up and looked very anxious. When they saw Chu Huan, they hurriedly said, "Sir, you are back!"

Seeing that Fat Liu looked anxious, Chu Huan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

Fat Liu hurriedly said, "Sir, Lord General sent someone to come to find you before. If you have something to do, you will leave a word because you are not here. If you can come back before dark, you will meet twenty miles outside the south gate."

Linlang heard it while he was a little worried about Chu Huan. Chu Huan smiled and shook his head, signaling Linlang not to worry, and asked, "Do you know what the commander asked me to do?"

Fat Liu looked around and then whispered: "People from Beijing, the Governor will go out to greet you in person. The Lord General asked to go to guard you, and you will also be transferred to guard you!"

Chu Huan nodded, and didn't say much at the moment. His armor was now placed in the Su Mansion, and he changed his armor and fish scales and eagle feather helmets, which was very powerful. Linlang saw his beloved man dressed like this, and he felt that Chu Huan was the best man in the world.

Official affairs were not delayed, so Chu Huan led Pang Liu and Wang Han to the south gate and drove out of the city ten miles away. Sure enough, he saw a group of officials waiting. A Shili Pavilion had been built on the roadside. Qiao Mingtang and several officials were drinking tea inside. Luo Shiheng, the commander of the garrison army, suddenly became involved. Although the two had a bad relationship, they were talking and laughing in this situation and seemed very close.

Hundreds of soldiers wearing armor and swords were guarding the roadside. In addition to Wei Tianqing's imperial guards, there was also Luo Shiheng's guards. The flags raised by the soldiers on both sides were not only different in shape, but also had different patterns on them.

The military army is a unified long banner, and there are patterns on the flag, and there are only two types. One is a squat tiger, and the other is a leopard. The flag of the military army of the Qin Dynasty only has these two patterns.

The Imperial Guard is a pennant. There are flag bands at the corners of the pennant. When it flutters, it is also very eye-catching. The flag is covered with an eagle-rise pattern.

The armor of the soldiers and generals of the two armies is also different. Compared with the Guards, the armor of the Imperial Guards is much better equipped. The black scale armor on their bodies is also very expensive and the protection effect is also excellent. In the Guards, at least a thousand households need armor to be comparable to the armor of the Imperial Guards.
