All the wine shops in the capital are very lively, and countless people come to ask if they have Bamboo Kee sake. Or if such a wine can be brewed?

But the winery owners all shook their heads. Winemaking is a craft, and many wineries are passed down from family to family, and are passed down from son to daughter. They regard craftsmanship as more important than their lives.

After the ten-day free period, Zuixianlou's Zhuji sake became a limited supply, and a small jar of wine cost fifty taels of silver, which is only one pound. This is not something ordinary people can afford. But

Even so, Zhuji sake is still in short supply in Zuixianlou.

Some people even approached Mu Qingqi, hoping that he could provide more Zhuji sake.

This situation also gives Mu Qingqi a headache. It's not that he doesn't want to sell it, but that the output of this wine is really too low. On one side, Zhuji Sake is selling like crazy, and on the other side, Mu Qiyue's village is leisurely every day.

It produces less than fifty kilograms of wine, and not all of it can be supplied to Zuixian Tower.

Mu Qingqi, who was in pain and happy, hid in the palace because there were too many high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the capital who went to his house to wave their banknotes to buy wine. Some of the older people, Mu Qingqi felt that he couldn't handle it anymore, so he had to run away.

.

"Sigh." Seeing the emperor, Mu Qingqi sighed first and sat on the chair with a tired look on his face.

"I heard that your restaurant is getting rich today, why are you still sighing?" The emperor drank tea and looked at his brother in a funny way.

"That fellow Xiaosi is so bad." Mu Qingqi vomited bitterly, "I only made a small amount of wine, but now it's great, people buying wine are crowding the house."

"Is that wine really that good?" The emperor hasn't tasted it yet. He didn't want Mu Qiyue to use his name to sell wine, but he didn't expect it to become so popular.

"Very good." Mu Qingqi nodded. He knew that the emperor had many things to do and was not very fond of wine, but he still suggested, "Brother, you might as well try it. Although this Zhuji sake has a strong stamina, it is also fragrant and pleasant. Xiao

It’s pretty good to have a drink or two.”

"It seems that I really need to try it." The emperor became somewhat interested in this. "Come here." He called the waiter in, "Go to Mu Yue Trading Company and ask for a jar of wine."

"Brother Imperial, one altar is not enough, at least five altars. No, ten altars." Mu Qingqi fanned the flames.

"Let them watch and send it off." The emperor finally did not decide on the quantity. The waiter took the order and went out to do something.

"Xiaosi will definitely not give more. He is stingy." Mu Qingqi had been harassed recently, so he took out his anger on Mu Qiyue and kept trying to discredit him in front of the emperor.

However, the emperor also knew that Mu Qingqi was just complaining to him and did not really have any resentment towards Mu Qiyue. So he let him go while he hid behind and snickered.

Not long after, the people who went to Muyue Trading Company came back and brought back wine. But not much, only three jars.

The emperor and Mu Qingqi looked at each other. They didn't expect Mu Qiyue to be so stingy. He only weighed three jars. Even though it was ten pounds per jar.

"Back to the emperor, Steward Lu said that the wine to be presented to the emperor has not been brewed yet, so I only sent three jars. Please forgive me." The attendants knelt on the ground. They also had a lot of resentment towards Lu Mingtao in their hearts, and secretly thought, "It's all my fault."

That guy Lu Mingtao bribed me with good wine, otherwise there would be no point in replying so fearfully in front of the emperor.

"Oh, do you think there will be better wine than now?" The emperor glanced at the waiter. Although he knew that he did not dare to tell lies, he also knew that he must have been deceived by Mu Qiyue's people.

"I haven't seen the fourth master, but I heard that he went back to the village to wait for the new wine to come out." The waiter answered more carefully.

"Tell someone to bring the wine." The emperor waved the waiter to go down.

"Xiao Si's place has a new trick, do you know about it?" The emperor turned around and asked, but when he saw Mu Qingqi also had a confused look on his face, he knew that he must be unaware of it.

"How could he tell me that the last time I went there, I was surprised where he got so much special rice to make wine? But he still didn't say a word to me." Mu Qingqi had a lot of resentment in his heart.

Mu Qiyue in Zhuangzi also sneezed no less than ten times a day, making everyone around him wonder if he had caught the cold.

"You mean, what kind of rice is this wine made from?" The emperor was also a little surprised.

"Brother Emperor, didn't you listen to what he said?" Mu Qingqi discovered that it turned out that the Emperor was also kept in the dark by him.

"Haha, no wonder Xiaosi wanted this wine to go to the palace." The emperor laughed twice and understood what Mu Qiyue meant, but he had no regrets. If Mu Qiyue has any good things, he must have them here.

One portion.

After a while, the waiter brought the wine, along with some snacks to accompany the wine, and placed them one by one on the table in front of the emperor. Mu Qingqi also placed a portion there.

As usual, the waiters checked the wine and dishes in front of the emperor. After there were no problems, they left.

The emperor just picked up the wine glass and wanted to toast Mu Qingqi, but when he looked up, he was intoxicated by the aroma of the wine, holding the glass with his eyes closed and smelling the smell of the wine.

He had no choice but to imitate Mu Qingqi's actions and smell the aroma of wine. At that moment, the emperor felt that after the aroma of wine entered his nose, an indescribable feeling flashed in his mind.

I took a gentle sip and was instantly fascinated by the taste of the wine. The entrance was soft, smooth, and the fragrant wine felt very refreshing as soon as it entered my throat. But as soon as it slipped into my stomach, there was a faint aftertaste.

He was ready to go. After a while, the burning feeling gradually increased, making him feel that his pores were wide open and he felt very comfortable.

"It's really a good wine." The emperor had extraordinary self-control, but he couldn't help but say "good wine."

"Brother, do you regret not letting Xiao Si bring the wine to the palace first?" Mu Qingqi also drank a glass of wine and smiled at the emperor.

"I should ask him to send more jars over." The emperor also smiled, "When banqueting ministers, if they have all drank this kind of wine, but there is no such wine in the palace, it will not make people laugh."

"Brother Emperor, why don't we go to Xiaosi's place and have a look." Mu Qingqi's eyes sparkled, sparks flying.

How could the emperor not know what his purpose was, but he was also curious. Mu Qiyue said that there was better wine than this at home, and sincerely speaking, the emperor was also moved and wanted to take a look.

Although the emperor should not leave the palace at will, otherwise the emissaries will find out and nag him endlessly, but the emperor must be the emperor after all, and he has a good plan.

So under the cover of Concubine Lan in the harem and the protection of the guards, the emperor left the palace and set out for Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Of course, he was accompanied by Mu Qingqi, but he didn't bring anyone with him.

Afraid of revealing his whereabouts.

Lu Mingtao did not tell lies, what he said was what Mu Qiyue conveyed to him, and Mu Qiyue was also anxiously waiting for a drink that was better than the original Zhuji sake.

Lin Zhu finally nourished ten large tanks of water in the space. She tasted it and it was not much better than the spring water in Mu Qiyue Zhuangzi, with a more refreshing taste.

So I discussed with Mr. Du and Mu Qiyue to use this water to brew a batch of wine and see what the result would be.

So not only did Mu Qiyue not leave Zhuangzi, but Lin Zhu was also in Zhuangzi, but he didn't bring Fu Dou'er with him. The specific reason was that Fu Dou'er had been having a heated fight with Xiao Ma Hongyun recently and didn't miss his fourth uncle.

Although he had no choice but to do nothing, Mu Qiyue accepted this fact.

Today was the day for drinking. Lin Zhu got up early and waited in the front hall. Because she was drunk last time, Mr. Du and others would not let her follow her into the wine shop.

Lin Zhu was bored and played with a jade handle. Mu Qiyue gave it to her, saying it was because Zhuji was a thank you gift for sake. Lin Zhu saw that he was sincere and didn't mean anything else. The handle was

It was carved in the shape of bamboo, and Lin Zhu liked it very much, so he accepted it.

So, I took it out to play with every day, and then put it into the space for nourishment.

Today, I was bored with waiting, so Lin Zhu took it out again. Minglu stood behind Lin Zhu, her face a little awkward, but she sighed slightly in her heart, and still didn't say anything, but secretly decided to wait for Aunt Chang to come again.

When the time comes, be sure to tell her.

Mr. Du, Du Bin and Mu Qiyue finally came out of the wine shop. Du Bin held the wine jar in his hand, and surprisingly he didn't hold it with someone else's hand.

Lin Zhu raised his eyebrows and felt slightly relieved.

"Grandpa Du, thank you for your hard work." She quickly stood up to greet him.

Du Bin placed the wine jar on the table, where a wine pot and wine glasses had already been placed. Since it was a wine tasting, there were no edible side dishes.

However, Lin Zhu still asked people to put some fruits such as oranges on the table. Oranges can relieve hangovers.

"Girl Zhu, please share more of the wine with the old man this time." Mr. Du also knew that there were many people who were thinking about this wine. Coupled with Lin Zhu's filial piety, a lot of it would definitely be given away, so Mr. Du first gave it away.

That's said.

"Is the wine this time better than the previous one?" Lin Zhu asked in surprise.

"When I opened the wine just now, I felt that it was different from the usual ones. Now I have to taste it carefully to know." Du Bin said with a smile. Even so, based on their experience, they can tell that the wine is better than the previous one as soon as they smell it.

To a higher level.

"Well, I think it's not bad." Mu Qiyue also nodded.

Mu Feng quickly poured some wine into the jug, and poured a glass for each of them. Even Lin Zhu had a glass in front of her, but she could only look at it. If she wanted to drink, she would have to wait until they all finished drinking.

Isn't it stronger than the previous drink, let alone whether it can be drunk.

Just as they were raising their glasses to ask for a drink, a clear voice came from outside, "Such a good wine, how about I come and taste it too?"

Everyone in the room was shocked. No one expected that the emperor would come so far away from the capital at this time. Everyone turned their attention to Mu Qiyue.

Mu Qiyue was also very surprised. He quickly waved his hand to show that he had not invited him here, and he did not know how the emperor came. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
