As if overnight, the same banner appeared at the intersections of the streets and alleys in Guangling City.
The banner was very large, with a line of large characters written on it:
On the eighth day of June, see you in the east and west cities!
This is an incomprehensible line of words, but after everyone in Guangling City saw it, the first thought they had was Li Chenan's peach blossom wine!
Without it, this technique is exactly the same as those on Peach Blossom Island on the fifth day of May.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the literary meeting on Peach Blossom Island on the fifth day of May. There were no eye-catching poems in that literary meeting. On the contrary, the names Li Chenan and Taohua Niang became completely popular.
Especially after I heard that the Taohua Niang wine was exactly the same as the current Huapingchun, and especially after I heard that the price of Taohua Niang would be significantly reduced, this wine became the expectation of everyone in Guangling City.
But since then, peach blossom wine has been silent, so much so that it has gradually faded out of people's sight.
Suddenly, this guy, the banner appeared again, and the three words "Peach Blossom Brewing" became the focus of everyone's eyes again.
"Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and after two more days, you have never tasted Huapingchun. If this peach blossom wine really tastes like Huapingchun, and if the price can really be significantly reduced... I hope it can be reduced a little more. In the future, if you drink it daily, I can’t drink it without peach blossom wine!”
"You old man must be overthinking it. Huapingchun costs 20 taels of silver per catty. Even if it is reduced by half, it is still 1 tael of silver. This price is still much more expensive than Guangling San, which costs 250 taels per catty."
"Lao Gu, think about it, this guy Li Chenan has made the name of Peach Blossom Wine so famous. I heard that the winery he built by the Peach Blossom River is also very large... Obviously, this Peach Blossom Wine is his main seller. The product is targeted at Guangling Powder, so the price of this peach blossom wine is the key!"
"Didn't I hear that he will use Huapingchun to make better wine? This guy is also magical. Taohua Niang is already better than Guangling San and Ruilu, and he can actually make wine better than Taohua Niang... …The wine is high-end, and the price must be high.”
"As for this peach blossom stuffed stuff... we'll find out in a couple of days."
"It's the same...it's just...why the Huo family didn't respond to this? Could it be that Li Chenan really hugged Zhongli Mansion's thigh?"
"..."
Of course there are various opinions in the market.
But for wine drinkers, what they are most concerned about is the price of peach blossom wine.
As for the conflict that is likely to break out between the Huo family and Li Chenan, this is what they expect to see.
It’s very exciting to think about it.
The Huo family, which is entrenched in Guangling City and has been cultivating Guangling City for many years. Facing Li Chenan who is rising proudly, will they endure it silently or will they launch a thunderous strike at the critical moment?
A behemoth family faces a weak person. Under this thunder... will Li Chenan be crushed to pieces or even wiped out?
In any case, the name Peach Blossom Brewing was once again hyped up, and it quickly spread to the entire streets and alleys of Guangling City.
…
Guangling Huo Mansion.
Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, was walking by the pond in the back garden with a cigarette in his mouth.
Behind him were his grandson Huo Shufan and his nephew Huo Chuanming.
Huo Shufan looked at his grandfather's back and walked forward step by step. When his grandfather sat down at the table in the corridor, he quickly took a fire stick to light the tobacco in his grandfather's smoking pot.
Huo Xi took a deep breath, and then Huo Shufan whispered: "Grandpa, what happened with the Shen family... Shen Qiaodie is an unlucky person, and her grandson found that bad luck would happen whenever she was around... So this marriage... …My grandson doesn’t like it!”
Huo Xi exhaled a long stream of smoke, "She is not the real wife, she is just a concubine... If you don't like it, you can leave her aside, but the marriage still has to go ahead."
"...why?"
"Because there is one most important thing that needs to be taken care of by the Shen family."
Huo Xi took another drag on the cigarette, letting the smoke fill his mouth. After a while, he said again: "This matter is the biggest issue for our Huo family at the moment!"
"If this happens...the Huo family will definitely become the first-class family in Ningguo, and even...even be among the six famous families."
"This matter has been planned for a long time, and there must be no mistakes at this time."
Huo Shufan was stunned and asked again unwillingly: "Is the Shen family the key to this?"
"Yes, the Shen family is the key!"
"So it is imperative that you take Shen Qiaodie as your concubine. As for you not liking her, you can just ignore her."
"Shu Fan, this is the overall situation. You are the eldest grandson of the Huo family. Remember, in the face of the interests of the family, the overall situation must be the top priority in everything!"
Huo Shufan lowered his head in despair and bowed: "My grandson knows."
"only……"
He raised his head again, with some worry in his eyes, "It's just Li Chen'an. He made the peach blossom brew known to the whole city and threatened to launch it on the eighth day of the lunar month... Should we respond to it?"
Huo Xi took another puff of cigarette, and after a while he turned to Huo Chuanming and said, "Let's give him a blow first!"
When Huo Chuanming heard this, he said, "Uncle, you mean... to burn down Cai Zhengyao's grain depot?"
"Well, I think the wine that Li Chenan put on the market on the eighth day of the lunar month has been brewed, which means that the method of large-scale brewing has been mature."
"Burning Cai Zhengyao's grain depot has two benefits."
"The first is to tell the people in Guangling City that the Huo family is not something that cats and dogs can control."
"The second thing...the Shen family can take this opportunity to monopolize Guangling grain to the maximum extent, which will be of greater help to our grand plan."
Huo Chuanming bowed and said, "My nephew will make arrangements tonight."
"No, let the Shen family handle this matter!"
"Besides, isn't his wine going on the market on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year? We can't let Peach Blossom Niang go on the market, because it will mess up the selling price of Peach Blossom Niang."
Huo Xi placed the cigarette rod on the edge of the corridor and shook it, "Tomorrow, on the seventh day of the lunar month, it's time to get the peach blossom wine and Huapingchun's wine-making method into the hands of the Huo family."
Huo Chuanming nodded: "My nephew has made arrangements for this. Our Huo Mansion's Three Hundred Nursing Home will be used. Coach Zhou will personally lead the team. There should be no mistakes."
"...Let Chen Tong and Ye Po go together."
Huo Chuanming was startled. Chen Tong and Ye Po were the two masters around the family leader. They were both at the lower level of the second realm...
"good!"
Huo Xi handed the cigarette stick to a maid behind him. He stood up and looked at the lotus pond with a smile.
"The Ministry of Civil Affairs will publish a document soon. Liu Zhuo... will be demoted to Shuzhou, and you will be the next prefect of Guangling!"
Huo Chuanming was overjoyed, and he quickly bowed again: "Nephew, thank you uncle for your training!"
Huo Xi waved his hand, "Your father left a little early. Uncle, I regard you as my own."
"Now that your eldest son has been engaged to the Cao family of Pingjiang, and you are promoted to the prefect of Guangling...well, and you get Li Chenan's method of brewing wine, this is three blessings!"
He had his hands behind his back and stood upright.
He raised his head and squinted at the increasingly intense sun, "The great prosperity of the Huo family... is just around the corner!"
