Rebirth of the only favorite fool

There is a rather majestic and elegant house on the side of Linshui Street in Taocheng, with rich glazed tiles and two stone lions standing at the entrance of the house, with wide-eyed eyes, very solemn and majestic.

There were not many people coming and going at the gate of the house. After a while, the gate opened, and the people in the house sent a few guests out. They all had smiles on their faces, and they laughed at each other, and said a few words, don't send a few people away. come out.

As soon as Gu Huaiyu walked out of the house, the smile on his face faded a little.

The Gu family's relationship is mainly in Yuncheng, and they don't have many connections in Taocheng, but Yuan Bin, an official of Sinong among the eight chief officials under Taocheng City Lord, was once a classmate of Gu's father, and the two have a good friendship.Yuan Bin is in charge of money and food in the city, which has nothing to do with his household registration, but Yuan Bin has been in Taocheng for many years, after all, he has his own relationship.After Gu Huaiyu came to visit with a gift, he responded to Yuan Bin by saying that he hoped that he would make a career in private to impress Gu's father. Go to Lord Sihu's mansion, stuff some money, and set up some vacant households in Taocheng for him.

After putting away the ID card in his hand, Gu Huaiyu looked at Xue Jia and smiled: "Are you tired?"

Xue Jia shook his head, Qingjun's face was obviously jerky with this kind of human interaction: "It's okay, I'm just not used to it."

Gu Huaiyu hugged him and said, "You will get used to it gradually."

When he first came up with the idea of ​​doing business, he was not used to negotiating and negotiating deals by himself. At the beginning, he was always underestimated. He gritted his teeth and persisted. Later, he gradually adapted to being a As a businessman, I gradually found some fun.

He knew that his words and deeds after he came out were not in line with his former self. He looked too sophisticated, and Xue Jia couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but Xue Jia believed him after all, and never asked anything.

The weather in the afternoon is not hot and dry, but it brings a bit of coolness after autumn.

Gu Huaiyu solved the household registration problem, and took Xue Jia to an alley in the afternoon.The alleys are paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by houses with bluestone tiles, which look ancient and long.

Xue Jia followed Gu Huaiyu on the cool stone road, and asked Gu Huaiyu, "Huaiyu, how do you know there is such a winery in Taocheng?"

Yes, Gu Huaiyu came to buy the winery.

Several generations ago, the Zheng family who specialized in providing tribute wine to the royal family were forced to get involved in the harem struggle because the tribute wine was poisoned.The Zheng family had no choice but to return to their hometown, Taocheng, and reopened a Qianjin distillery. After several generations, the distillery gradually declined. Due to poor management, they owed a large amount of debt, and finally had to mortgage the distillery.The Qianjin Distillery, which created a sensation in the imperial capital a hundred years ago and must have attracted a large number of nobles, has disappeared from people's memory along with the legend of "If you get my daughter's peach blossom wine, you will never have to be unhappy in life".

When he was living in Taocheng in his previous life, the legendary Qianjin Winery closed down a few years ago.At that time, he heard the regretful tone of the older generation when they mentioned Qianjin Distillery on the street. An old man even said regretfully: since then, there has been no more authentic peach blossom wine.When he came back, thinking of this matter, he couldn't help but get worried, and sent someone to inquire about it, and rushed back to report it to him, and the Qianjin Winery was still there at this time.It is said that the operation of the distillery at this time has fallen into crisis, and it may be closed in two years.He made up his mind that he must buy this winery.

Hearing Xue Jia mention it, the corners of Gu Huaiyu's mouth were still a little proud: "You also know the name of the Imperial Capital's Qianjin Liquor a hundred years ago, right?"

Xue Jia murmured: "I have heard it before. It is said that Concubine Xin was implicated in poisoning the Empress with a thousand gold wine. She was expelled from the imperial capital and never returned to Beijing."

Gu Huaiyu smiled: "That's right, many people have heard that the Zheng family left the imperial capital and returned to Taocheng, but they don't know the later development. At first, because of the reputation of Qianjin Liquor, many people went to Taocheng to taste it. But Qianjin Liquor One generation is not as good as the previous generation, and now many wineries are doing business under the name of Qianjin Liquor, so Qianjin Liquor is everywhere, and it is no longer as precious as it used to be."

"Isn't there several 'Thousand Gold Wine Shops' in Yuncheng? After drinking the Thousand Gold Wine once in a while, I couldn't help but think of the real Thousand Gold Wine. It’s not as good as before. This time I told my family to start a business, but in fact I wanted to buy Zheng’s Winery, so that Qianjin Wine could regain its glory in Yuncheng.”

Xue Jia's eyes lit up: "It's a good idea. The authentic Qianjin Peach Blossom Brew has reappeared in Yuncheng, which is very attractive."

Gu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows: "I have other ways."

Xue Jia knew that he was waiting for him to ask him, so she asked deliberately: "What method?"

Gu Huaiyu smiled triumphantly: "I don't tell you, you will know when you go back."

Xue Jia didn't want to make trouble with him, she just pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward to take Gu Huaiyu's arms, and walked leisurely in this alley.

Because the Zheng family avoided disasters back then, although the alley was not too narrow, it was still a bit remote from the lively streets.It is said that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys", but after all, Qianjin Winery is not as good as it used to be.

Qianjin Winery adopts the method of front shop and back shop. Looking from the door, there are several jars of sample wine on the counter in the shop. The tables, chairs and benches are still clean. There are not many people sitting in the shop. Xiao Er is sitting at the door, Appeared drowsy.

After Gu Huaiyu and his party passed by, Yuelang stood aside with his sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he never said a word.Ah Bei stood next to Xue Jia, and Chang Gui stepped forward to push the guy, with a steady voice: "Buddy, where's your boss?"

The waiter opened his eyes and saw this group of people, and immediately smiled: "Hey, how many people are here to drink?"

Chang Gui shook his head: "No, my son is here to find the boss of your Zheng family."

The guy was stunned: "Look for our boss? I don't know how many of you can do it?"

Gu Huaiyu looked at him with a smile: "That's right, let's talk to him about a business."

Walking in the wine workshop of the Zheng family, even Xue Jia couldn't help but look around.It was the first time for him to come to this kind of place, and he was very curious.

Gu Huaiyu glanced at Xue Jia with a smile, and said to Zheng Wenkang, the current head of the Zheng family and an old man who was nearly seventy years old at the time: "How does Mr. Zheng think?"

Zheng Wenkang reconfirmed in his thoughts: "You mean, we can continue to retain the name of our Zheng Family's Qianjin Liquor, and just ask the Qianjin Distillery to share with the Gu family?"

Gu Huaiyu smiled: "Naturally. I heard that your family has been handed down for three generations, but your only son hopes that your grandson will take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. If no one runs the winery in the future, the real Qianjin wine will be lost. Wouldn't it be a pity? "

What Gu Huaiyu said was naturally asked by someone. In his previous life, the Zheng family had reached this point, selling the wine formula at a high price, and the descendants of the Zheng family would no longer be in this industry.

Elder Zheng nodded, sighing rather in his tone: "Yes, I've been worrying about this recently."

Gu Huaiyu's tone was very calm and authentic: "Mr. Zheng, I have an idea: if your grandson wants to take the imperial examination, you can adopt another adopted son, teach him the way of wine making, and let him pass on the family business. go down."

Zheng Wenkang sighed: "I've thought about this too, but I'm afraid that if we introduce wolf-hearted people and swallow Qianjin Winery, our Zheng family will not be able to continue."

Gu Huaiyu nodded with a smile: "You don't have to worry about that. If Qianjin Winery arrives in Yuncheng, under the name of our Gu family, you can sign an agreement with your adopted son in the government, and you will make Qianjin Winery and the wine party The son is handed over to him, so as to share with him from the part of the Zheng family, and our Gu family in Yuncheng will be a witness for generations. In this way, even if your only son no longer runs the winery, he can still get the money."

Zheng Wenkang stood there in a daze, before muttering for a while: "That's a good idea."

"Then what does Mr. Zheng think?"

This time Zheng Wenkang nodded happily: "Deal."

"That's good." Gu Huaiyu took out a finely textured jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was exquisitely carved, with the word "Gu" carved on it, and a small hollow golden waist flower carved in the lower right corner. One of the two letters.The jade sculptor was Diaozhu, the chief sculptor of the Gu family, and her craftsmanship was unmistakable.Then Gu Huaiyu handed the letter talisman to Elder Zheng: "Then I will use the Gu family letter talisman as proof, and wait for Elder Zheng to go to Yuncheng."
