After dismissing Ma Jiujiu, Li Yu and Lu Jishan talked for a while, trying to get these officials to give a clear answer.

However, Lu Jishan didn't mention the matter of Qiguan at all, and only said that he wanted to ask for a glass of wine. Li Yu thought about it, and it was too involved. Don't ask any more questions.

Lu Jishan said to Li Yu with a smile;
"My dear brother, it's already [-]:[-] noon, why don't we go to the restaurant and sit here? Lala, how about some light talk?"

"It's so good. It's better to be respectful, younger brother. Please, brother, please, gentlemen."

"Brother, please first."

"County uncle please."

Since Wanhe Restaurant was less than a thousand steps away from the entrance of the Suzaku Gate in the imperial city, everyone left on foot together, and left Cangbusi to walk outside the imperial city.

As soon as the group left the imperial city, they only walked two or three hundred steps, and saw not far ahead, the entrance of Nawanhe Restaurant was full of carriages, densely packed, and the entrance was full of maids, servants, and guards from various wealthy families.

Li Yu didn't like such a messy scene, so he couldn't help slowing down. Yingxiang, the seven servants who followed on the other side, and the ten soldiers in the general's mansion also stopped one after another.

Lu Jishan looked at Li Yu, who was frowning tightly, and winked at Yuanwai Liu next to him. Yuanwai Liu understood, and immediately spoke to ease the embarrassing situation where no one said anything for a long time;
"Uncle Qi, this Wanhe Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the nearby streets. It belongs to the big house of the Cui family in Boling. The elders of the three and four clans who own the big house personally sit in the town and preside over the overall situation. The business has been booming since the dynasty’s operation till now.

It is also one of the best wok cookers nearby, and their big house of the Boling Cui family is also one of the most active households in the sale of liquor.

The patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan is in his prime, not yet 60 years old, he has a unique vision and is capable. Not only is the business in Chang'an City booming, but his hometown is also doing very well.

It's just that although the business is booming, it's the first time I've seen this messy scene like today, and I don't know what's going on. With the wisdom of the two elders of the Boling Cui clan, no matter how big the matter is, we must be entertained to our satisfaction. "

Li Yu nodded lightly after listening to Liu Yuanwai's words;

"Since that's the case, let's go in and just eat our own, and leave after eating. I'm really not used to this chaotic scene."

Liu Yuanwai looked at the God of Wealth who relaxed his brows, and quickly agreed;
"Yes, let's go in later, and go directly to the private room to sit down. The county magistrate doesn't need to pay attention to this kind of scene. Presumably, no one will be blind to provoke the county magistrate."

After Liu Yuanwai finished speaking, he ordered a subordinate who followed behind him;
"Qingyuan, there are still five or six hundred steps to go. Please take care of yourself and go quickly to check. What is going on in this restaurant today, and it is in such a mess."

The following young men agreed, and ran out with their robes in their hands. Everyone continued to walk in official steps, walking unhurriedly. Lu Jishan's six men made jokes along the way, but they were not too lonely.

When approaching the entrance of the restaurant, the young official who went out to inquire about the news ran back and said to Li Yu;

"Qi County Uncle, it's the big man in your mansion. You asked him to go back to fetch wine. He passed by here when he came out. He went in first and told the big shopkeeper to mention your name, saying that he was going back to fetch liquor. sell.

After a brief explanation, he left and went back to grab a drink. This was amazing. The people in the restaurant didn't realize it until the big man left.

It has been a long time since Chang'an City has brought Wuliangye. No matter how much the bid is, there is no stock in the market. When the news is released, it immediately provokes people from all directions, and the wind and clouds are surging.

At this time, your slave has already pulled a cart, including Wuliangye and Xianrenzui, and there is a bigger wild wine in it...

Ah no, there is a strong man inside who is taller than your slave, and he is happily introducing the story of immortal drunkenness. The next official looks at the high-ranking households around him, all of whom are holding back the wine insects, listening The strong man explained.

The lower official only went in for a few glances, and seeing that it was full of people from high-ranking families, the lower official didn't dare to delay, so he simply inquired about it, and then hurried back to report. "

Lu Jishan said with a smile;
"The servants in Brother Xian's mansion are also smart. They know how to spread the word before going back to buy wine. Such servants are not common. They are thoughtful. After a few years of training with Brother Xian, he must be a big shopkeeper who can control one side of the business alone. ah."

Li Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard that the messy and lively scene in this restaurant was created by Ma Nineteen;

"I didn't expect him to be so small and thoughtful even though he is a simple and big man. Let alone brother, if he is trained well, maybe he can really look like a big shopkeeper."

A group of officials who followed also promptly offered all kinds of flattery, saying that the county magistrate is well trained, even a servant can be so successful, but they forgot that at the warehouse, they all called him a savage in their hearts matter.

The group of people naturally stopped walking slowly when they learned the truth, and quickened their pace to the lobby of Wanhe Restaurant.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people here. Ma Shijiu was standing with his elder brother in front of the counter, and the tall and strong man was spitting and explaining loudly;
"My lords, I didn't tell a lie just now. The day before yesterday, when we had a gathering in Dushangshu's mansion, except for the Supreme Being who had been drunk a few times in advance and took precautions, most of the other civil and military officials were drunk. ..."

Before the strong man finished explaining, a 30-year-old man in a silk brocade robe in the crowd next to him couldn't help asking;
"You man, the wine worms crawling around in the stomach of a certain family, do you really have mellow and fine wine that is better than last year's Wuliangye?"

The strong man immediately replied seriously;

"Your Majesty, don't believe it. My Patriarch's method is a good one. The wine he brews is getting better and better every time. Even the important ministers are full of praise."

Another big fat man in the crowd also joined in the fun;

"Just now you said that even the three...three heroes of Chang'an were drunk? It's true, those three are the great generals I've fought before, and they're huge. How can they get drunk so easily, especially General Niu? You said that Wuliangye can eat less than three catties, are you lying to us?"

"Oh, sir, don't you believe it, look at the ten jars brought here, the immortals are drunk. Believe it or not, buy a bucket today and eat a few cups on the spot. If it is not as delicious as Wuliangye, it is considered a villain. Nonsense, you slap me a few times, and the villain will never say anything."

Several people followed suit;

"You man, first open a jar, tell me to smell it and see if it is as violent as the previous Wuliangye, so how about debating whether it is true or not?"

"Oh, this villain doesn't have the guts. What my Patriarch told me is to bring wine and wait for the Patriarch to come and make arrangements. The Patriarch is not as courageous as a villain. ..."

The more than 20 descendants of the aristocratic family who were teasing this strong man turned their heads neatly after hearing this, and sure enough, the Jianguo county uncle, whose name has been spread all over Chang'an, walked in with a group of officials.

More than 20 descendants of aristocratic families separated to the two sides to make way. For these descendants of aristocratic families who were basically all white, Li Yu's Earl of Jianguo County was very honorable.

As Li Yu walked in, the guests on both sides bowed their hands and greeted Li;
"I met Li Xianbo."

"Meet County Uncle Li."

Li Yu also smiled all the way back;

"A certain family is polite, it's polite."

Several people who knew Lu Jishan also greeted him;

"Brother Lu is here, I have seen my brother."

"Meet Mr. Lu County."

"Don't be like this, Brother Yu has returned the courtesy, everyone, don't be too polite..."

Li Yu and Lu Jishan quickly came to stand in front of the counter in the lobby of the restaurant, and Li Yu spoke first;
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, Yu's crime is also, plead guilty, plead guilty."

Ancient etiquette is like this, no matter how anxious you are, you have to show etiquette, otherwise you won't make people laugh, and when you treat a large group of people with a few polite words, Li Yu will get to the point;

"The elder brothers who provoked me today are deeply disturbed by this trip. There are two things I want to tell you. This is the case. The Cangbu Division of the Ministry of Accounts has already prepared
It will start the day after tomorrow, and the whole Chang'an city will sell spirits. This time, not only the familiar Wuliangye wine, but also the younger brother has improved the secret method of wine making after exploring, and made a new one that is more mellow, named Xianrenzui.

Just now the servants in my house did not talk nonsense, this wine is more mellow and rich, although it is not too violent, it has a lot of stamina.

Therefore, those generals were caught off guard and capsized in the small river ditch. Many of them were drunk at Uncle Du's house.

Therefore, today my little brother kindly reminds everyone that when you get drunk from eating that fairy, you can't eat it all at once, otherwise you will no longer be able to control yourself when you get drunk. "

Of course, Lu Jishan will not let go of the promotional opportunity to create an atmosphere;

"That's right, I was also a guest in Dushang's residence that day, and when I first drank the wine, I felt that although the wine tasted much more mellow, it was not as strong as Wuliangye.

I didn't pay much attention to it, but when the alcohol came to the fore, it was too late, and in the end I was drunk and unconscious, and I was ashamed to say it. "

The crowd was even more convinced when they heard the two big men confirm it together. Many people swallowed hard and spit a few mouthfuls. An anxious young man asked directly;
"Just now the county uncle said that there are two things to mention today. This is only one thing, and there is another one. I guess it should be today, and some will be sold. I don't know if it is accurate?
I also ask the county uncle to tell me that if it is going to sell wine today, no matter how much the price is, a certain family will buy some to eat. "

Another answer in the crowd;
"Today's sale, I have to buy ten buckets, regardless of the price of the wine. When there was no Wuliangye in the past, it was fine to eat dirty wine.

But after eating Wuliangye a few times, I can't swallow even the best turbid wine, so why wait and wait, but there is no liquor for sale!
Today is finally the time, I don't want to miss it, even if I have a thousand crowns, I don't care too much, let's get ten buckets to satisfy my greed first, and then talk about other things. "

Li Yu looked at the enthusiastic crowd and didn't want to waste his time talking. Looking at the number of people, there were not many people who came, only more than 20 people. He told Ma Jiula that ten jars of immortal drunkenness and ten jars of Wuliangye were almost enough for them to share. .

Li Yu, who had calculated in his mind, directly opened his mouth to explain;
"That's right, what this brother said is quite right. The second thing today is to sell Immortal Drunk. Let all the brothers satisfy their hunger first, and then mix it with ten altars of Wuliangye."

After hearing this, the children of the aristocratic family in the hall of the restaurant cheered immediately, and one of them was impatient and shouted loudly;
"Uncle Li, since you want to sell, let's start quickly. I also know your rules. The highest price will get it. Don't worry, the county uncle. Today I will go all out. Even if it is three thousand five thousand, I will also get it." Serve some, go back and honor my family, Aye, let's start quickly, Mr. Li County."

"That's right, let's start Li Xianbo."

"Uncle Li, hurry up, let's buy wine so we can sit down and have a good time..."

"Don't worry, I have counted the number of people, there are 23 elder brothers who came here today, I have twenty jugs of wine here, everyone has a share.

The three people who are missing can wait here for my servant to go back to get it, or follow my servant back to the mansion to get it, and I will never ask my brothers to make an empty trip. "

The few people standing at the front began to whisper, and after discussing a few words, the leader spoke first;
"Isn't the County Boss selling by the pound today like last year? Are you going to sell it by the bucket?"

Li Yu nodded and responded loudly;
"That's right. In the past, Wuliangye was too scarce, so we could only limit the number of purchases. Now, my brother has opened 28 winemaking workshops. I think many people know about it.
I don't need to be wordy, since there is a lot of Wuliangye, there is no need to hide it, and I can sell it jar by jar. "

The speaker clasped his hands again;

"Since the county magistrate is so generous, it's the best. It's only a bucket of twelve catties. If I buy it at one time, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of silver.
I waited but didn't bring a lot of them. I also ask Mr. Li Xianbo to wait for a while. I will arrange for the servants to go back and bring the money. I wonder if it is possible? "

"That's right, I rushed over immediately after hearing the news, and I didn't get any money. What should I do? Please ask the county uncle to accommodate me. I will arrange for my servants to go back immediately."

"Yes, yes, I only found out what happened today when I came to the restaurant for a party, and I didn't bring any money with me..."

Watching the lively scene, Li Yu raised both hands in the air and spoke loudly;

"Brothers, don't worry, don't worry, selling spirits today is very different from last year. Brothers, there is no need to go back and pull too much money. Brothers, be quiet for a moment.

Younger brother will naturally speak in detail, so that you brothers can understand clearly before talking about buying wine..."
