Chapter 12 The taste of donkey meat
Wu Zetian smiled slightly: It was all up to Lord Shen’s advice. The wine was sold out in a few days. This time, I’ll prepare to buy more goods.
"No problem, it's ready for you."
"Let's go, let's go to the best restaurant in this county. I will treat you to a meal."
"Thank you, Lord Shen."
After the group exchanged greetings, they sat in a sedan chair and headed to Taihe Building.
On the way, Li Xian lifted the curtain and looked at the market curiously. Everything here was so fresh to him.
Entering Taihe Building, several people, led by the shopkeeper, went straight to the private room on the second floor.
"Shopkeeper Fan, I am going to host a banquet for a few friends today. Tell your chefs, do you have to use your skills to hear?"
"I understand, I dare to ask you what kind of dishes you want to eat, sir." Jianguan Fan said with a smile on his face.
"How is this..."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and pointed to the Qingyuan lobster on the vegetable sign, "Give me four six kilograms of lobsters."
When talking about Liujin, Chen Yuan deliberately glanced at Jianguan Fan. The latter was stunned and asked tentatively.
"Sir, I don't have six kilograms of lobsters in this store, can I kilograms of lobsters be fine?"
"One pound..." Chen Yuan covered his mouth and coughed, "Is that...is there?"
"ah?"
"That's not!" Jianguan Fan said seriously.
"It's okay, I brought it myself." Chen Yuan waved to Hu Erlangzi: Give the donkey meat you killed in the morning to Manager Fan.
Let’s treat Mr. Wu to a good meal today.
"Yes, sir."
After ordering the main course, Chen Yuan ordered two more gifts of wine, and then drove the idle people out of the private room.
"Young Master Wu, who is this guy?"
"Mr. Shen, this is Li Riye, the dog son, who is free to take him out to be familiar with business."
Li Xian nodded perfunctorily: Below Li Riye.
"It turns out that you are Li Riye. It turns out that you are extraordinary. As soon as you take action, you stew the chewing fish that our county spent tens of tens of taels of silver to cultivate."
"Good luck."
Li Xian's old face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Chen Yuan smiled and turned his eyes to Wu Zetian, "Young Master Wu, is the sales of wine smooth?"
“It’s very smooth, and it’s sold out in one hour!”
"So fast!"
Chen Yuan exclaimed, with a hint of shock in his eyes. You should know that although wine is rare, it is unknown after all.
To put on the dining table of wealthy families, a gradual process is required.
This young master Wu sold out all the wine in just one hour, which shows how powerful his background is.
"More than that, according to your plan, we fry the wine to a bottle of 100% in a short time!"
Wu Zetian smiled and raised a finger.
hiss!
Chen Yuan took a breath and looked at Wu Zetian in disbelief. He didn't expect that the little white face in front of him was even darker than carbon.
The wine that costs 20 cents is fried 5,000 times more!
"How many bottles of wine do you want this time?"
"How much can Qingyuan County produce?"
"As long as the money is in place, the wine tube will be enough!" Chen Yuan said gritting his teeth.
He took the initiative. If the other party really planned to purchase goods in large quantities, he would probably take out the wine that had been stored for three years and put it on.
Wu Zetian picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of the wine, frowned and thought deeply.
Scarcity makes things valuable. At the beginning, wine made huge profits entirely because of its own guarantee.
Once a large number of wine flows into Luoyang in the future, the price will definitely plummet, so it is better to add a batch of high-priced treasured wines.
It can not only satisfy the vanity of wealthy families, but also ensure generous profits.
"This time we don't have ordinary wine, we only have 240 bottles of treasured wine."
"Yes, I will ask someone to bring the goods up later. After passing the inspection, I will help you load and ship the goods."
While talking, Manager Fan came over with a pot of donkey meat.
"Come on, everyone, this is our Qingyuan sauce donkey meat, I guarantee you have never eaten it."
Chen Yuan introduced the spring breeze.
Shangguan Wan'er curled her lips and didn't even move her chopsticks. She grew up in the village and could tell at a glance that this was a livestock from a farmer's family.
Ten cents per pound is not a special dish in Qingyuan at all.
And the fruit plate and wine are delivered for free in the restaurant, and you needless to say you know how it tastes.
The same is true for Li Xian. He has never eaten anything in the palace on weekdays, and a mere pot of donkey meat can't catch his eye.
"Master Shen kept asking us to have a meal, but he didn't say that he had spent a penny, but he also asked the restaurant to pour a plate of fruit and two bottles of wine."
“Is this your treat?”
Chen Yuanmian glanced at Li Xian without changing his color and wiped his mouth, "When I was born, I just cooked a bowl of noodles and ate an egg."
"Brother Li thinks who is more expensive than the sauce donkey meat?"
"you..."
Li Xian was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Okay! We're here from afar. Lord Shen is already very proud of his treats. You must not be rude in Japan!"
He glared at his son, and the Wu Zetian Dynasty bowed his hand, "The dog doesn't know the hardships of life, so I hope Lord Shen won't blame him."
"It's okay, it's normal for the young master to be a wealthy family, and it's not like this donkey meat."
Chen Yuan waved his hand and continued, "I have been in office for eight years and have seen too many tragedies of eating and tearing the bark and shattering the belly of the tree."
"Once I went out for inspection, I was hungry in the field because I had not eaten brown rice for several days, but Hu Erlangzi and others made a quick decision."
"Kill my mount, and I will save my life by chance."
"Since then, I have remembered the taste of donkey meat."
"Come on, everyone taste it!"
Wu Zetian curiously picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of donkey meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few bites.
Then he nodded with satisfaction.
"This donkey meat is really delicious, thin but not tiring, with a strong meat aroma, good, and the taste is really delicious!"
Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of donkey meat and put it in her mouth, and soon she showed a surprised expression.
This donkey meat is even more delicious than I thought.
Putting down the chopsticks, Wu Zetian couldn't help asking: "Mr. Shen, we have never seen a farmer raising a donkey along the way."
"I don't know where you bought the donkey meat, so we'll bring some when we go back."
Chen Yuan laughed. "That thing is so fumigating and affects the image of the county. I have asked the breeders to drive them to the donkey farm in the northern suburbs."
"After a while, I will kill a male donkey for you to taste."
“So that’s what it is…”
Wu Zetian suddenly realized and looked up to Chen Yuan a little more. It is rare to think of farm animals as a mere seventh-rank magistrate.
Thinking of the purpose of her trip, she changed her voice.
"By the way, Wu recently heard that the army was fighting against the main Turkic forces on the front line, and many soldiers were infected with serious diseases."
"A batch of medicinal materials are urgently needed to treat diseases, but the national treasury is empty and cannot afford so much money in a short period of time."
