Chapter 34 Sky-high priced wine!
Li Chenan noticed these special teenagers not far away, including the beautiful girl he had seen twice.
Their outfits are not ordinary families at first glance, but probably the children of a large merchant or a high-ranking official and noble family.
These people are his real target customers, young, rich, and have a high level of experience but very little experience, and are very fooled!
He also looked into the crowd, feeling a little regretful that he did not see the handsome father-in-law.
In fact, he hoped to see that father-in-law again.
If he gave the wine a jar to that father-in-law, if he also liked to drink, his position in Lijingsi would be stronger.
If that father-in-law brought the wine to the emperor for the wine... Maybe he could still have the legendary emperor looked like.
Unfortunately, he didn't come.
After all, he is the leader of Reijingsi and probably has returned to Beijing.
"Everyone,"
Li Chenan shouted loudly again, "Next, I'll invite Mr. Hua to cut the ribbon for the tavern!"
Cut the ribbon?
What is ribbon cutting?
Just when everyone was surprised, Li Xiaohua moved a stool from it.
Li Chenan stood on the stool with Hua Manting. Cuihua took a pair of scissors from it and handed it to Hua Manting.
Hua Manting is also very curious!
After all, he didn't know what it was to cut the ribbon, he only knew that Li Chen'an asked him to do so.
He looked up at the lintel and stretched out the scissors, so everyone's eyes fell on the lintel.
Hua Manting cut the red silk with a scissor, and the red silk fell to both sides, revealing the huge plaque on the lintel.
Hua Manting was shocked on the spot!
Everyone standing outside watching was also shocked!
In the eyes of those people, the first thing they saw was the three energetic big words "Hua Manting"!
"hiss……"
Is this the tavern named after Lord Hua?
Is the relationship between Li Chenan and Mr. Hua so close?
Then someone looked closely and saw a line of fly-headed small calligraphy on the three big characters—
‘The tavern under the banyan tree!’
This is the name of the tavern!
Have you taken over the main event?
Zhongli Ruoshui's beautiful eyes suddenly smiled like crescent moons. She glanced at Li Chenan's back and thought to herself how could this guy have so much thought?
There were stolen sounds in the crowd, and some people were criticized, such as Qi Zhixue.
He frowned at this moment:
"Old Master Hua is the spirit of Ningguo's literary world, and even his name is an extremely holy existence for Ningguo students.
But Li Chenan hangs the name of Mr. Hua so eye-catchingly on the door lintel. Isn’t it a bit blasphemous?"
Of course, some people sneer at this, such as Zhongli Ruoshui:
"Mr. Qi is probably thinking a little bit off. Let me ask you, is that it written by Mr. Hua?"
Qi Zhixue choked and nodded.
"So since it was written by Mr. Hua, that is, Mr. Hua agreed to this. And Mr. Hua personally cut and cut the ribbon for this plaque, which also means that Mr. Hua knew it!"
"Hua Lao doesn't care, what do you care about?"
"In fact, this further shows that Li Chen'an's wine has long been recognized by Hua Lao. Otherwise, with Hua Lao's personality, who never easily wrote inscriptions, how could he do so much for Li Chen'an?"
Qi Zhixue was speechless, and Cheng Zhe became even more silent with Li Chenan's back.
He thought more, not about the relationship between Hua Manting and Li Chen'an, but about the fact that Li Chen'an knew how to take advantage of the situation, but Hua Manting was willing to build momentum for him.
Come on, everyone in Guangling City underestimated Li Chenan!
Then, Hua Manting used scissors to cut off the two red silk on the door frame. The red silk fell down, revealing a couplet:
‘The mountains are good, the water is good, and you can smile when you open the door and have no worries.
Come and go in a hurry, drink a few glasses of wine and everything.’
The couplet is a bit difficult, obviously not from Hua Lao's hand.
But this is another couplet with free and easy intentions, which expresses the uncontested mood of the person who wrote this couplet like idle clouds and wild cranes.
Hua Manting stood on the ground, his eyes lit up in the couplet. Of course, he knew that it was written by Li Chenan, and he liked this kid even more in his heart.
At this moment, Li Chenan stood on the stool.
He faces the sunset and is covered in golden color.
"Let's go to Li Chen'an!"
"The little boss of the tavern under the banyan tree!"
"I welcome all the people who are in the world to come to the tavern to sit, and students and literati from all over the world to come to the tavern to gather."
"but……!"
His words suddenly changed and his voice rose a little.
"I want to explain a few issues to everyone!"
"First, the wine in the tavern is produced in limited quantities because it is too good, and it only sells ten kilograms per day!"
A loud noise suddenly sounded in the crowd. After all, Hua Pingchun was named by Hua Lao Daru himself. After all, Hua Lao himself said that Hua Pingchun was better than Ruilu, so this wine must be a good wine.
Since it is a good wine, you must buy it and taste it.
But Li Chenan said that he only sold ten kilograms a day... How many people can buy each person?
Besides, if a rich man buys all the ten pounds at a time, wouldn’t the rest of the people not even taste it?
"Everyone, be quiet!"
"In order to ensure that guests entering the tavern have wine, the tavern under the banyan tree has formulated some rules."
"First, each person can only drink one or two wines in the tavern every day!"
The crowd was sensation again, and even Cheng Zhe and Qi Zhixue were shocked - where is the reason for doing business like this in the world?
Doesn’t this mean that you can’t spend money even if you have money in your pocket?
Zhongli Ruoshui's beautiful eyes flowed, and she instantly understood what Li Chenan said.
His words have aroused everyone's interest!
What he needed was these people who passed the reputation of his paintings on the spring, and that required more people to taste this kind of wine, but they still felt unfulfilled every time.
"Secondly, the wine in the tavern under the banyan tree will not be sold out for the time being! In other words, if all customers like it, they can only drink wine in our store. Our store does not provide side dishes with wine, and our store is prohibited from bringing side dishes with wine!"
"Because I'm too lazy to clean up!"
The crowd exclaimed again—
Doesn’t this mean drinking less alcohol?
Where does this kind of drinking come from the poetic and picturesque meaning?
But some people also heard the implication of this sentence - he said that it will not be sold for the time being, so this sentence left enough room.
"Third, because Huapingchun is so good that it is very expensive, our store warns all customers to consume as much as possible."
"Finally, I announced that Huapingchun is priced at 200 cents per 200 yuan! Now the tavern under the banyan tree... is officially opened!"
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into a thunderous roar!
Too expensive!
Only one tael of wine can be bought for two hundred cents... Isn't this just two taels of silver to buy one pound? (For the convenience of conversion, one pound is calculated as ten taels)
"Wait, how much does Guangling disperse per pound?"
"Two hundred and fifty words."
"...Isn't this painting Pingchun nearly ten times more expensive than Guangling San?"
"This boy named Li is really crazy about poverty!"
“…”
Some people dispersed disappointment, some left happily, and a moment later, more than tens of people were left outside the tavern.
Li Chenan and Hua Manting had already walked into the backyard. Hua Manting was a little worried, "Are you too hasty?"
Li Chenan shook his head and said calmly: "The tavern is very small, we don't need so many people."
At this moment, a sound sounded in the shop:
"Waiter, have a drink!"
