Chapter 278 Fan Li's Descendants

"Little Langjun, why is it so expensive?" One of the middle-aged men with big belly asked as if they had a tooth pain.

"Yes, little husband, this Qinghe wine is only worth ten thousand gold in Xianyang!" Another middle-aged man with a merchant's appearance echoed.

"I heard that I can't buy it in Xianyang for ten thousand gold coins!" Chen Xu replied with a smile on his face.

"That's true, but this...it's too expensive!"

"It's not bad, I'm afraid I can only see the price, I can't afford it!"

"Yes, why bother to be angry? We just heard that this Qinghe wine can be made to bid for ourselves..."

Many people around began to talk.

"Don't worry, Qinghe Store is open today. In order to make a good fortune, you can get discounts." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"10% off?" asked a businessman who obviously heard of VIP cards.

"No, four folds!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Four-fold, that's eight thousand gold!" said the person who asked in surprise.

"good!"

The people around were relieved and began to nod, "The price is fair, but how can I know that your Qinghe wine is worth the price, which is the fairy wine rumored in Xianyang?"

"Hu Kuan, open a bottle of Qinghe wine, please taste it for free!" Chen Xu turned his head and ordered.

"Okay!" Hu Kuan quickly took out a bottle of Qinghe wine. A clerk brought over a basket of ordinary ceramic cups the size of a finger and distributed one to each person. Hu Kuan then opened the bottle and poured a small cup for everyone.

When the red wine, which was as red as blood, poured out, a refreshing and sweet wine smell filled the room with the aroma of grapes and fruits.

"Gudong~" Almost everyone in the store moved the Adam's apple at the same time, and many people showed intoxicated expressions on their faces.

"It's not bad, it's just this taste, clear and sweet, and rich in fruity aroma!" An old man nodded repeatedly.

"It seems that the little husband did not lie, it would be fascinating if he sniffed it. It should be Qinghe wine without a doubt!"

"Please try it!" Hu Kuan poured it in one round, and there was still half a bottle left, because the capacity of these small pottery cups was only two cents, which would be enough to taste the taste.

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, almost everyone poured wine into their mouths at the same time, and a smacking sound suddenly sounded in the store.

"Good wine, Qinghe wine is indeed worthy of being the name of fairy wine. I bought five bottles first!" A wealthy fat man put down his cup and made a decision immediately.

"Okay!" Chen Xu was about to nod.

"Slow down!" A middle-aged man in his forties interrupted Chen Xu's words, then looked around and said, "A Luoyang Pingshi..."

"What do you want to say?" The majestic old man who was the first to speak interrupted the middle-aged man's words.

"Ping wants to say that I want all the Qinghe wines in the Qinghe shop today!" the middle-aged man said arrogantly.

"hehe!"

"hey-hey!"

There was a burst of disdainful laughter suddenly in the room.

"It's just Ping's family, it's also Wen's family in Handan."

"It's Taiyuan Hong Family!"

"Some Xinzheng Ximen family!"

Many people in the room sneered and began to report their own doors. Every time they said one, the middle-aged man's face looked ugly, and finally he stopped talking.

"Everyone, you are a guest when you enter the door, and you are also welcome to live in harmony. Besides, it is difficult to make Qinghe wine. Our store does not have too many stocks this time. Don't compete for it. Make reasonable distribution to ensure that everyone will not return empty-handed!" Chen Xu quickly smoothed out the situation.

He didn't know any of the Luoyang Ping clans, the Handan Wen clans, the Taiyuan Hong clans, and the Xinzheng Ximen clans, and they were never as good as thunderous. However, it did not prevent them from seeing from the expressions on the faces of everyone in the room. These people were famous families in the local area and even the entire Qin Dynasty. They may be merchants, gentry clans, or nobles, but they are definitely not small families.

"This method is not impossible!" The majestic old man turned around and looked in the room, "I am Ding Tao Fan Yong, the so-called person who sees him has a share. No matter how many brothers take out, how can we share it together?"

"Since Mr. Fan speaks, we must obey it!" More than a dozen people in the crowd immediately clasped their fists and saluted. Even the few who were sneering just now were among them. It can be seen that this old man is quite famous and has great prestige in Daqin.

When Chen Xu opened the door to do business, he naturally sold the things smoothly and counted. No matter who he sold them to, as long as no one made trouble.

Moreover, there is an old man named Fan Yong organization, and most people agree that Chen Xu is naturally happy, so he instructed Hu Kuan and others to bring out the Qinghe wine he brought out in five baskets, totaling 100 bottles, all of which are year wines with engraved characters.

There were more than twenty people in the room, some of whom did not buy wine, and seemed to be interested in porcelain. The wine was distributed by each person about five bottles, and some of them were short of money and only bought one bottle. Naturally, the remaining share was redistributed by those with wealthy people. After receiving the wine, the clerks all packed them in separate small cloth bags and tied them with millet and grass. These people immediately arranged for followers and servants to get gold cakes and copper coins. When Hu Kuan and the four gangsters counted the money, they felt that their hearts were about to explode, and their ears were filled with jingling sounds of pouring money into the box. When they could not put the money box at the back, they directly moved a vine basket and poured it into it.

There are two types of money in Daqin. One is gold, called the top coin, and the other is the most common copper coin, half a liang, called the bottom coin. There are two types of gold, the smaller one is one liang, and the common finger-sized golden cake, and the larger one is two liang, and the larger one is four thousand coins.

(Note: There are indeed two types of currency in the Qin Dynasty, gold and copper coins. The historical verified that the big gold cake weighs twenty taels, which is one titanium, but it is said that there are small gold cakes, but I have not found any information. For now, even the old customer made up for the convenience of trading! Otherwise, one thousand coins would be eight kilograms, and ten thousand coins would be eight kilograms. It would be too troublesome to trade within one! Of course, in addition to gold and copper, there are also grain and cloth that can also be used as currency for trading, but those are even more troublesome.)

"Goodbye, little husband!"

"Goodbye!"

After the payment and payment transaction was completed, many people left in a hurry, but at the same time, there were still people coming in, so the threshold of Qinghe shop was almost collapsed, and the door was bustling. Outside the door, horses, carriages, and guards with long swords on their backs, directly filled the streets. At first, those neighbors who were watching the strange things and those who couldn't afford to watch the fun were squeezed away to another street.

"Little Langjun, what is this Qinghe tea oil?" The old man named Fan Yong asked with a bottle of tea tree fruit oil.

"This is a kind of clean oil brewed with tea tree fruit, used to cook dishes, and the fat tastes much better than the fat of beef, sheep, dogs!" Chen Xu explained.

"Can clean oil be eaten?" Fan Yong's face was full of doubts.

"It's not only edible, but eating it regularly is also very good for the body! But now I only find that tea tree fruit oil can be eaten, and it is difficult to collect tea fruits, so there is not much of this kind of tea oil!" Chen Xu nodded and said.

"Fan still believes the words of Xiaolangjun, but I don't know how they taste? In addition, the price is expensive and I don't know if those wealthy families can accept it. I will take ten bottles back and try it!" Fan Yong hesitated for a moment.

"Haha, thanks to Mr. Fan's justice just now, it's not too confusing. Why don't I cook a few dishes with this tea oil and ask Mr. Fan to taste it?"

"Young man still knows cooking?" Fan Yong was surprised.

"I understand a little bit and make some home-cooked side dishes on a daily basis. Mr. Fan invites tea in the backyard, and a few side dishes will be ready soon!" Chen Xu made a gesture of invitation.

"Haha, okay, then Fan is more respectful than obedient, please, please!"

"please!"

When he went to the backyard, he asked Fan Yong to sit in a room with a warm couch for tea. Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and walked to the front of the stove, instructed Lu Dong and his family to help prepare some meat, vegetables, eggs, set up a cutting board, set up an iron pot, and soon started cooking.

After half an hour of care, I took a dish of fried eggs, shredded pork with sauce, a dish of fried dough sauce, and a dish of dried fish with fried noodles sauce to the kang and placed on a low table.

These dishes are fried in tea tree fruit oil, which is completely different from the various stewed dishes nowadays. The tea oil tastes fragrant. Therefore, after tasting them one by one at Chen Xu's invitation, Fan Yong was completely conquered by the taste of the dishes made from tea oil, and he was praised continuously.

Chen Xu also brought the remaining half bottle of wine, drank a few drinks with the old man, and chatted while eating and getting familiar with each other quickly.

"After just now, many people respect you very much. Xu Shang was young and had never heard of the old man's name. He was so sluggish. I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay, the reason why all my fellow practitioners respect me is not because I have a prominent reputation, but because I am the reputation of Tao Zhugong, the ancestor of the Meng family!" The old man waved his hands and said modestly.

"Mr. Tao Zhu? Could it be Mr. Fan Li and Mr. Fan?" Chen Xu put down his chopsticks in surprise and said.

"That's right!" The old man nodded calmly.

"I'm so respectful, it turns out that the old man is a descendant of Mr. Tao Zhu!" Chen Xu quickly bowed and bowed.

Fan Li, who was respected as the ancestral saint by later businessmen, was the first person in Chinese history to achieve legends by doing business. The business theory he pioneered was regarded as the industry creed by all merchants. More than two thousand years later, it had a profound influence on Chinese businessmen. Even many traditional merchants even offered Fan Li's statues and spiritual positions at home to worship and worship incense, and called him the God of Wealth.

Fan Li was a big businessman in the Spring and Autumn Period. Now hundreds of years have passed, and merchants around the world have long regarded him as their ancestor. Therefore, it is reasonable to respect Fan Li's descendants. Moreover, Fan Yong is definitely not as simple as an ordinary businessman, and he must be a very famous figure in the industry.

"Don't use too much politeness. In fact, I haven't left yet. I also want to take the opportunity to have a chat with my younger brother!" Fan Yong also bowed to Chen Xu and said.
