Chapter 668

The cold wind howled.

Dada

Ground vibration!

A team is coming from the northwest.

"In front of us is the capital, which is still 50 miles away at most. Let's work hard to get to the city before dark. "

"General, after a few hours of driving, people can withstand it, and horses can't. Can you take a half hour off? "

Gu's eyes swept over every soldier's face, and he was exhausted.

He nodded. "If you remember correctly, there's a tea shop ahead. At the tea shop, take a rest for half an hour. "

"Mighty general!"

The relatives and soldiers responded with a roar, and they were all excited.

Continue to fight the horse forward, as expected, there are buildings ahead.

It's not a tea shop, it's a wine shop.

"Ha ha, there is wine in this place. General, shall we rest here? "

Gu Gu nodded and stressed: "listen to me, everyone, one glass of wine at most. Whoever dares to drink will be punished by military law! "

"No!" The relatives and soldiers agreed in unison, and the momentum was astonishing, which immediately attracted the attention of merchants in the restaurant.

"Look at the momentum. It's a soldier."

"If you come back from the northwest, maybe it's the northwest army."

"One by one, they must be the northwest army. Except for the northwest army, the soldiers in other places have no such momentum. "

"That's what men do!"

"It's all rubbish. Didn't you hear that good guys don't work in the army? A good man should study to become an official and serve the imperial court. "

"This man is sick of his brain."

"If you are stupid in reading, don't worry about him."

"If you go to study and become an official, who will stay at the border. Indeed, it is stupid to read books and not to produce. "

Merchants are quietly surveying and discussing Gu and his party.

Gu's relatives and soldiers are also looking at the surrounding environment.

"It's worthy of the capital. Such a remote restaurant is full of people."

"It's a strange house to build."

"I don't know. This is a house made of cement. Nowadays, it is popular to build houses like this in Beijing. "

The man welcomed them out with a smile on his face and warmly welcomed them into the restaurant.

"What do you want to eat? There's our menu on the wall. Just follow it. "

"Hey, it's not bullying people who can't read." Some of the soldiers muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense. It doesn't matter if you can't read, general

Gu Gu gazed at the menu which occupied half of the wall and said, "two catties of wine, ten catties of pork head, ten catties of..."

After ordering, the waiter said, "OK. Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment. The food will be ready soon. But I want to make it clear to you that the wine here is neither sorghum wine nor wheat wine, but sweet potato wine. If you don't mind, I'll serve you wine. "

"Sweet potato wine?" I have never heard of them.

The man laughed, "my guests, you have just arrived in the capital. No wonder. At present, sweet potato wine is only sold in the area around the capital. It is estimated that many people have never heard of it outside the capital. But if sweet potato wants to come, you must have heard of it. "

"Nonsense, who doesn't know sweet potato is heaven descending food. There are also races in the northwest, and the yield is high. "

The man nodded, "yes, yes! This sweet potato is not only high in yield and can satisfy the stomach. Do you know that sweet potato can also make wine. This year, many farmers in the capital area have made a fortune by planting sweet potatoes and selling them to wine making workshops. But the only bad thing is that sweet potato wine doesn't taste as good as sorghum wine and wheat wine. But sweet potato wine is cheap. "

When the soldiers opened their mouths, they would ask, do they dare to sell the wine with bad taste to them when they asked for food? Can't afford it or what?

As a result, Gu Zhen raised his hand and stopped him.

Gu Gu looked at the man, waved and told him to step forward.

The man was a little frightened, and was stared at by several soldiers. He had to step forward two steps and was very close to Gu.

Gu Gu is handsome, but he is a little black.

He had a soft voice, which made the man relax a little.

"Why do you only sell sweet potato wine?" he asked

The man said, "several soldiers are in the barracks all year round. I don't know the current situation. In recent years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, either drought or flood. I have heard from foreign businessmen that there has been no rain for three years in some places, and it has rained for a month in some places. As a result, grain production was reduced.

In recent years, we have been able to see good weather in our capital area. In addition, the canals are unobstructed and the Weihe River is irrigated, so there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster.

As soldiers all know, this wine requires a lot of food. A kilogram of wheat wine costs several catties of wheat. It can live a person's life. When the government saw that the grain production was reduced, it repeatedly ordered the people not to make wine without permission and not to sell grain wine without permission.

Of course, there are also wine shops selling grain wine secretly. It's all against the law. If you get caught, you have to have a prison meal. Our boss is timid and law-abiding. He says that if the court doesn't allow it to be sold, it will not be sold. However, sweet potato wine can be sold at will, and the imperial court does not restrict this. "After hearing this, Gu GUI laughed, "is this sweet potato wine produced by the four seas companies?"

On hearing this, the man was excited, "the master also knows Sihai commercial company, but he didn't expect that the reputation of Sihai commercial bank is so famous. The master is right to guess. This sweet potato wine was produced by four seas companies at the beginning. Later, other winemakers followed suit and bought sweet potatoes everywhere to make sweet potato wine.

Although the taste of sweet potato wine can't compare with grain wine, it's sold well. Our shop alone can sell one or two hundred catties a day. There are people from the nearby villagers who come to our shop to drink

Just as he was saying, a boy of about ten years old, carrying a bottle gourd, came in and called out, "boss, boss, two catties of wine. My father is waiting for a drink. Hurry up. "

Boss Li Sheng stretched out his head from behind the counter, "little three son, your father's wine has been drunk again?"

"Finished. You give me two catties of wine. This is the money. "

Xiaosanzi took out several copper plates from his arms, counted them one by one, and put them on the counter.

Li Sheng put away the copper plate and threw it into the drawer. The wine spoon made of bamboo was filled with three full spoons of wine, which was poured into the wine pot through the funnel. Not a drop came out.

"Two catties of wine, take it! Cover the lid, don't spill it on the road, or your father will beat you

"Yes! The boss is very wordy Xiaosanzi took the wine pot, waved and ran out.

Li Sheng shakes his head, smelly boy, clever.

When you are a little bigger, you can recruit to the store and be a waiter.

Gu Lin drew back his sight and continued to ask, "the child from the nearby village just now?"

The man nodded, "go down the side path and walk three miles. It's a village. The children are from that village. "

"Sweet potato wine sold so cheap, can you make money?"

The man laughed, "if you don't make money, who would like to sell sweet potato wine, right. Only if you don't earn much, you can earn a little living money, which is not comparable to grain and wine. It is said that some people in the South use rice to make wine, which is a waste of food. It's no wonder that the imperial court has repeatedly ordered that people should not make wine without permission. "

Gu Gu said with a smile, "two catties of sweet potato wine. Try it today. It's not as good as the grain wine. "

The guy shouts that he'll call two catties of sweet potato wine soon.

"In fact, the taste of sweet potato wine is not bad. Ordinary people can't make any difference. Try it, sir, and see how it tastes

Gu Gu poured himself a cup and sipped it first to taste the taste.

"There are some differences."

"The master has tasted the difference. It's amazing." Man, thumbs up.

Gu Yao laughed, "you said just now that your boss is timid. I don't look like it. If you can open a restaurant on such a road, you can't have a background. "

As soon as the clerk heard this, he immediately laughed and said in a whisper, "the master thinks highly of my boss. To tell you the truth, my boss is a refugee. Yes, he is the one you think. However, he was the first group of refugees to settle in the capital, and it was a good time.

Later, the Sihai commercial bank took some measures, saying that it was to help the refugees to buy their houses. My boss was the first person to eat crabs. He took the money borrowed from the four seas commercial banks and relied on the four seas commercial banks to build a wine shop here. I didn't expect it. It was.

As you all know, all the food materials and drinks in our shop are supplied by four foreign companies. Even the house, the seats, benches and even the bowls and chopsticks here are purchased by Sihai merchants. Every month my boss has to pay back a sum of money to Sihai business.

If you want me to say, our boss is not very good at business, but he is lucky to always catch up with the first batch of dividends. On the contrary, a native like me still has to work for my boss for money. I don't know when I can get on this big ship of Sihai commercial company, and I will also eat the bonus. "

After listening to the man's nagging, Gu Yao laughed more and more brightly, "as you say, Sihai business is very good to those refugees."

"My parents are not so good." The man looked envious. "All of them bought houses and settled down in the capital, and some of them even became owners. It must be the ancestral tombs who smoke so well. However, the refugees who came back to the capital did not have such good luck. "

Gu Gu chuckled and said, "the four seas business has done a lot."

"That is! Look at our shop. Everything from a pair of chopsticks and a spoon to the whole house has been contracted out by the four seas firms. Think about how big the business has to be. "

Gu Gu took out a few coppers and gave him a reward.

The waiter took the reward and beamed, "my guest, wait a moment. I'm going to urge the kitchen to serve you."

"Go

Gu Zhen looked at the boss behind the counter. Who could have imagined that the boss was a starving refugee a few years ago.
