Chapter 270 Vicious Thoughts
The leader was wearing a black and gold cloak, and he was wrapped tightly. The few people following him were also wearing cloaks, but they were not as noble as the leader.
Dong Maojie invited them into the house and respectfully presented a jar of wine, "Master, this is the wine sold by Baiweilou next door yesterday, five taels per jar, the same price as our Yun Zemeng."
Dong Jihong, the head of the Dong family, took a silent breath, then stood up suddenly and stared sharply at the brothers sitting next to him, "Which of you stole the secret recipe of Yun Ze Meng?"
The second eldest brother, Dong Jichang, hurriedly denied it, "Brother, aren't you the only one who knows the secret recipe of Yunzemeng? Even if we want to steal it, we have to know where it is!"
"That's right, brother! You can't rely on us just because this wine tastes similar to Yun Ze Meng!" Dong Jiping, the third child, followed with dissatisfaction.
The fourth child, Dong Jihe, took a sip silently at first, then frowned, "It does taste similar to Yunzemeng. No, this wine tastes even better than Yunzemeng! If we use this formula to improve Yunzemeng, why worry about Yunzemeng?" It can’t be a tribute wine!”
The Dong family has been making wine for generations. After the first ancestor became rich, every head of the family wanted to send the Dong family's wine to the palace, but it was a pity that it was always so short.
It’s not like no one has tried hard in the past few decades, but they can’t always find the right method. After tasting Baiweilou’s wine today, Dong Jihe suddenly understood.
Dong Jichang sneered and said: "Fourth brother, you are exaggerating! Our Yunze Dream has lasted for decades, how can it be compared to ordinary wine?"
Dong Jihe didn't argue with him and poured him a drink directly.
Dong Jichang still looked arrogant, but he was slapped in the face after taking a sip.
Dong Jiping looked at Dong Jichang's stiff expression and drank a glass out of curiosity. After decades of tasting wine, they could tell whether the wine was good or bad with just one sip.
Dong Jiping panicked immediately, "Brother! This wine"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Dong Maojie, "What do you think the Baiwei Building next door is about?"
The Dong family has built a winery and a large house on the outskirts of the capital. Normally, they would not enter the city, and they would not be able to know all the news in the city at the first time.
Dong Maojie told everything about Baiwei Lou and Guang Enbo.
"Master, Uncle Guang En has been to our winery before. I thought that Uncle Guang En came to order wine from us before the restaurant opened, so I sent someone to keep an eye on it. But there was no news from Baiwei Restaurant until yesterday. Only then did I know that Baiweilou uses peach blossom wine, Meirenzui, Little Old Man and Yuqiong wine.
The wine that tastes similar to Yunzemeng is Xiaolaoweng. I also bought a jar of another Yuqiong wine. This wine is different from the best-selling wines in Beijing. It has both fruity and wine aromas, and is sweet in the mouth. , more suitable for women. "
Dong Jihong was not interested in Yuqiongjiang, but he was determined to get the recipe from the little old man.
“How do you think we can get the formula?” Dong Jihong stared at the others with a calculating look on his face.
Dong Jichang and others were silent. Uncle Guang En was a woman but not a man, so the idea of sending a woman away obviously didn't work.
"Brother, why don't we try to spend money? I heard that Uncle Guang En was from an ordinary farm family, and the Yang family has little wealth. At worst, we will spend tens of thousands of taels, so I don't believe she won't be tempted." Dong Jiping was very confident and confident. appearance.
Dong Jihong glared at him angrily, "Idiot! The Dong family made their fortune from wine, but now they have to spend tens of thousands of taels to buy the wine recipe from others. If word spread, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Dong Jiping flinched and immediately fainted, "What should we do?" Others looked at Dong Jihong one after another.
Dong Jihong's eyes flashed with a calculating light, and he glanced at several brothers from time to time, making others feel terrified.
After a long while, he and Dong Jichang ordered: "You and the third child go to the government office to report the case. Just say that the Dong family is here today. I accidentally discovered that Yun Zemeng's formula was lost. The last time I saw the secret formula was in the spring." , it is not clear when exactly it was lost, let me mention the old man from Baiweilou and ask Fu Yin to check it out.
Lao Si, you let people spread the news and say that the Dong family lost the recipe of Yunzemeng. The little old man from Baiweilou tastes the same as Yunzemeng, so there must be something wrong. "
Dong Maojie's heart trembled when he heard this, "Master, is this okay? The relationship between Guang Enbo and Xiaoyao Wang is extraordinary. When someone made trouble for Yongtai Restaurant, Xiaoyao Wang did not care about his reputation just for that one bite of food. Now for Guang En's sake, Ember, I still don’t know what he will do!”
Dong Jihong didn't take it seriously, "I heard that Uncle Guang En has grandchildren. Even if King Xiaoyao has any intention, the emperor will not agree. If you let people spread some rumors, there are differences between men and women. King Xiaoyao will definitely not do it because of his reputation. If you can't stand the chance, just send a few more beauties to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.
The reason why I didn’t accept her before was because Princess Xiaoyao was still there. Now that King Xiaoyao has a reputation for being romantic, I don’t believe he can refuse a stunning beauty! "
Men are all the same, the so-called long-term love is just a lie.
Dong Maojie saw that Dong Jihong was determined to have his own way, so he could only obey and do as he was told.
Dong Jichang and Dong Jiping looked at each other, stood up and walked out.
The government office is not far from the wine shop, and the two of them arrived quickly in a carriage.
Governor Xie Lianyuan met them in person.
Dong Jichang looked solemn and presented a box of treasures as soon as he came up.
Xie Lianyuan couldn't help but push the box back without leaving a trace, "Mr. Dong Er, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Dong Jichang pushed the box in front of Xie Lianyuan again, looking anxious, "Mr. ”
"Oh? What's missing?" Xie Lianyuan was a little curious. Could it be that the Dong family had some treasure hidden in it?
Dong Jichang leaned into Xie Lianyuan's ear and whispered: "Today, a distinguished guest came to the house. The owner of the house opened the secret box on the spur of the moment, but found that Yun Zemeng's formula was lost!"
"What?" Xie Lianyuan was startled, and he couldn't calm down at all. "How could such an important thing be lost? Do you know who did it?"
“I don’t know!” Dong Jichang spread his hands and jumped anxiously, saying what Dong Jihong taught him.
Xie Lianyuan's expression changed slightly, "Do you suspect that Baiweilou has stolen Yun Zemeng's formula?"
"This" Dong Jichang and Dong Jiping looked at each other and did not deny it. "Whether it is true or not requires an investigation by adults to know."
If it’s not the case, we will definitely prepare a heavy gift and go to the door to apologize. If it is the case, please make the decision for the Dong family! "
"Absurd!" Xie Lianyuan suddenly changed his face and slammed the table, "Do you know what you are talking about? To tell you the truth, even the emperor drank Baiweilou's wine and praised it. If what you said is true, I will definitely pay you back. It's fair, but if you slander me at will, it won't be solved with a simple apology."
