On the morning of the second day, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes on the way to the Qilin Hall, talking about the sale of refined salt yesterday.
Li Si, Zhao Cheng, Feng Jie, Li Xin and others were all similar, with grim faces and whispering together.
"Damn it, the refined salt I bought for a thousand gold a few days ago turned out to be private salt!"
"I'm not the same. Who would have thought that private salt would dare to be sold in Xianyang City with great fanfare!"
"What's even more unexpected is that as soon as I bought the refined salt for the front leg, the refined salt refined by the guy for the back leg came out!"
"No! What a coincidence...!"
Several people were walking and talking angrily.
But as soon as they finished speaking, everyone seemed to think of something at the same time, with expressions of realization.
"How could there be such a coincidence in the world? We just bought salt at a high price on the front foot, and the salt on the back foot came out?"
"Alas...! It seems we have been tricked again!"
Feng Jie and Li Xin said these words through gritted teeth.
"No! This matter must be reported to Your Majesty and let that boy return our money!"
Li Xinxin couldn't hold back his anger and was about to yell.
Li Si quickly covered his mouth and glanced around.
Fortunately, everyone was chatting together and no one noticed their side.
"What are you suing for? The price was clearly marked, and there was no forced purchase or sale. We are willing to be fooled. Let alone suing His Majesty, even if we sue the King of Heaven, it will be in vain!"
"Then our loss will be in vain?"
Li Xin was dissatisfied and his eyes widened.
"Then what else can we do? If your Majesty and that boy are both on good terms, your Majesty will still have a share of the money!"
"The Prime Minister is right. If we don't take justice into account, even if we file a lawsuit, it will be in vain. We might end up being accused of buying illegal salt and be thrown into jail. The gain outweighs the loss!"
Li Si and Feng Jie persuaded him one after another.
They didn't want to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb, but they had no choice, that kid was too shady!
As expected, no one mentioned the matter of being cheated during the whole morning. I don’t know whether they really didn’t react or were just trying to flatter you. Everyone was singing praises, saying that the young lady had served the country and the people so that the people would be able to eat snow-white food in the future. Refined salt!
Surprisingly, no one said that guy deliberately cheated money!
Because there is no evidence!
Who can prove that he is responsible for this?
Everything is just speculation by Li Si and others!
After the morning session, the young lady took Ying Zheng and ran to the bedroom.
He had already prepared the hot pot, and his mother Lian'er was already waiting for the two of them.
"Brother Zheng, Feiyu has prepared your favorite hot pot!"
Seeing the two people entering the door, Lian'er hurriedly went to greet them.
"Hey! Why did you suddenly become interested today?"
Seeing the red hot pot on the table, Ying Zheng's appetite suddenly whetted.
Ever since I tasted hot pot, I have asked the kid to arrange a meal every now and then. Every time, the kid was reluctant. Why did he suddenly take the initiative to treat me this time?
"My minister's wine has been brewed, and I specially invited my father to come and taste it!"
Xiao Zhengtai pointed to the small wine jar that had been placed on the table and showed an innocent smile.
"Oh? Is it brewed?"
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly opened the stopper on the wine jar. The aroma immediately overflowed, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.
"Wuliangye?"
"Well, the name of this wine is Wuliangye!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded, admitting it.
Anyway, this old guy can’t make a difference after drinking, it’s just high-quality liquor!
"Hurry! Fill it up for me, I want to taste it!"
Last time there was only one bottle of wine, not much for each person, and he was gone before he could finish drinking it!
Okay, now there’s a whole jar!
"good……!"
This time, the young lady was not stingy and poured a full cup directly, "Father, this wine is the same as last time. It is very strong. Please be careful!"
"Mom, let me drink this beauty for you!"
Then he poured some wine for Lian'er.
"Huh? Is this wine sweet?"
Lian'er took a sip and said in surprise.
She never expected that there was wine that tasted like this!
"Yes, this wine is specially brewed for women. It tastes sweet and refreshing, but don't drink too much. This wine has great stamina!"
Xiao Zhengtai reminded.
"good!"
Lian'er smiled and nodded.
"Father, how are you?"
Seeing that the old man remained silent, Xiao Zhengtai asked.
However, Ying Zheng remained silent and his frown deepened!
"What? Does it taste wrong?"
Xiao Zhengtai felt a little guilty.
Is it possible that this old guy has such a bad taste that he drank it?
It shouldn’t be!
The system provided Wuliangye-level wine-making techniques. Although the taste was slightly different from Wuliangye, the color, alcohol content, and wine aroma were almost the same, and ordinary people couldn't taste it at all!
What's more, in this era where people are accustomed to drinking low-alcohol wine, if they occasionally switch to high-alcohol wine, they will only feel the strong aroma of wine and the cutting of their throats, and they will not be able to taste the subtle differences!
"What else can your kid not do?"
Ying Zheng stared at him for a long time, and then Youyou spoke.
Minato!
I thought there was something strange about this old product!
It turns out that I admire my young master’s abilities!
There is no way, who let me have the system?
Of course, this must not be said, so Xiaoshota squinted his eyes and came up with an excuse, "Father, brewing wine is actually not difficult. It's just that everyone sticks to the rules and doesn't dare to innovate, so no one has ever brewed high-alcohol wine. Come, so my son has always suggested improving the status of craftsmen!"
The wines of this era are all fermented wines, and it is normal to have impurities in them.
Later generations used distilled wine, but the method was changed to increase the alcohol content, and even the impurities were gone!
"Well, you are right...!"
"How much wine did you make? Isn't it just this one?"
Ying Zheng picked up the wine and took a sip, then started to enjoy the hot pot.
"How is that possible? My son has mastered the method of brewing wine and converted an empty room in the garden into a brewery. From now on, my father can drink it whenever he wants, but...!"
As Xiao Zhengtai spoke, he held his chin and smiled mischievously, "Erchen brewing wine requires hiring long-term workers, and the current food prices are not low, and the wine yield rate is not high. The price must not be too cheap!"
"What? Do you want more money?"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he almost spat out his drink.
"Why not? When I buy grain and make wine, I spend all my own money!"
Want to drink without paying?
There are no doors!
If he couldn't use it to make money, wouldn't he be living up to the reward given to him by the big brother of the system?
"Feiyu, don't be ridiculous. If you are short of money, my mother will give you your monthly salary!"
Lian'er sat aside and couldn't bear to see the father and son bickering.
"Mom, making wine requires more than just a little bit of food. How can you do that with your monthly salary...?"
The young lady waved her hand and continued to look at Ying Zheng, "Father, the output of this wine is very low. It may only produce more than a hundred catties per month. If my father doesn't want to buy it, I have no choice but to sell it on the market. You can’t even lose food and long-term wages!”
