Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Although Liu Zhang had never thought about the value of this thing, even considering that it is a new type of wine, this thing can still make a lot of money. This is wine!

Even if Liu Zhang didn't know that among the world's three major drinks in later generations, alcohol was the second largest drink. In order to prevent alcohol from appearing so prominent, the world's three major drinks rankings also had a special list called the non-alcoholic drinks ranking list. Pulled up someone who could make up the number.

Of course, these are not important. For Liu Zhang, all he needs to know is that this thing is wine, and it is a new type of drink with a very good flavor.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Liu Zhang, his wine tasting master, has the ability to appreciate wine, and his role as a member of the royal family surnamed Liu in promoting certain things, this thing can at least be on the stage, and things like wine can create Liu Zhang has seen the value in recent years, and it has really exploded the gambling industry.

To be precise, the gaming industry is nothing when it comes to drinks. As for profits, the gaming industry can probably only premise this on drinks. If we really want to talk about output value, it will really be crushed to the point where not even the dregs are left. Yes, the gap is too big.

When Liu Zhang said that this was a new type of wine, Yuan Shu finally reacted and instantly picked up the wine that he originally thought had a good flavor. He took two more sips and felt it carefully. I compared it with the other things I had drunk before, and finally decided that this thing was a bit weird, but the taste might be ranked in the middle or upper reaches.

Considering the size of the people in the Central Plains, people in the Central Plains basically like to eat anything that Yuan Shu thinks is delicious. After all, every year when Liu Tong distributes snacks, Yuan Shu always spends money to collect all types of snacks, and then eats them all and evaluates them. Therefore, Yuan Shu is still a little confident about what is delicious, what is good to drink, and what is suitable for people to eat, drink and have fun.

"Indeed, considering that this is a kind of wine that has never appeared before, and it has a special flavor and aroma, this thing has great potential!" Yuan Shu said with eyes shining, "Speaking of how expensive this thing is, Is it expensive? If it’s cheap, it has great potential.”

"It's cheap. If it wasn't cheap, would I have brought this to you? I just saw this and brought it here to show you. How about it? It's not bad." Liu Zhang laughed hahaha, his body The fat on his face was shaking because of this crazy laughter.

Liquor and rice wine, even the lowest-grade bulk liquor, are more expensive than beer. Even beer also has high-end craft brews, but compared with the most popular liquors, the gap is really huge and a bit ridiculous, but it can't stand up to beer. Just like drinks, it’s too scary to measure.

Chen Xi had never thought about making beer before, but Chen Xi had the impression that hops were not native to China, so after making several rounds of beer with malt, he gave up the plan and asked professionals to study rice wine and rice wine. Liquor.

Again, the core of rice wine and white wine brewed by ancient methods is the taste of grain, and there is a certain gap in flavor with the wines blended by later generations. There is actually nothing to say about other aspects, and after large-scale production , not to mention things like brand effect, the prices are generally not too outrageous. This is also the reason why the prices of drinks sold by Chen Xi at supply and marketing cooperatives in various places are not too high.

But even if rice wine and liquor are not too expensive, there is still a gap several times compared to beer. Let’s put it this way, even the price of low-quality blended liquor sold in later shops is in most cases higher than that of so-called craft beer. More expensive.

What's more, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, when people were poorer, if there was a cheaper alternative, people would definitely be more willing to accept it. It is normal to drink white wine and rice wine for weddings and weddings, and drink beer at other times. After all, most people are living There is still a cost issue to consider.

"Damn it, you're actually so powerful!" Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard this. The wine with a completely different flavor could be mixed with the wine Yuan Shu drank and tasted like a middle-grade one. It didn't have the sour taste of most wines, and it was quite cheap. Isn't this God going to reward these two brothers with a sum of money?

When Yuan Shu was the uncle of the Yuan family, he drank all the good wines from various places. If at that time he had fed him the wine that Liu Zhang brought for him today, he might even laugh at Liu Zhang. What kind of garbage is this? It's kind of like that, but after going through so much and building a lot of roads, he has gained a real reputation in Yuzhou, so when hanging out in the countryside, he can also beg for water from fellow villagers.

Not to mention anything else, in the territory of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu said that he was himself and asked the fellow villagers if they could give him a drink. As long as there was wine at home, the fellow villagers would pour two bowls of wine for Yuan Shu on the spot. Yuan Shu said that it was the wine he drank at his own home. Among the drinks, this thing ranks in the middle and upper reaches because there are so many weird things to drink at my hometown.

But if it tastes bad, you can say respect or not. Yuan Shu said that he just likes others to respect him. This is the wine. Nine out of ten companies’ home-brewed wine is unpalatable, especially the wine made from bran. What a strange smell, I have tried it for a long time, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to swallow it.

No way, the wine sold by Chen Xi at the supply and marketing cooperative is always more expensive. In addition to being very fond of drinking and having a lot of money on hand, most people still brew part of the wine at home and store it. This behavior is somewhat close to that of later generations. When the market first opened in the 1980s, there were already products available for sale in the shopping malls, but due to lack of money, most families still relied on their own production.

Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang are considered big players in Chen Xi's beverage industry. In addition to drinking it themselves, they will also distribute benefits to their subordinates on a large scale. There is no way, in terms of the quality of the beverages, the beverages prepared by such professional bosses have no matter the flavor. , and the taste is far beyond that of the so-called master.

After all, no matter how outrageous the old Yuan family is, no matter how extravagant Yuan Shu is, can he really invite five hundred wine masters to study wine making for him?

Yuan Shu wouldn't even dare to kill Yuan Shu. Don't look at the official Yuan Shu who dared to rebel, but if the official Yuan Shu dared to recruit 500 brewing masters to study brewing for him, I'm afraid he would have to be treated the same as King Zhou before the goods were shipped!

What is your position, Yuan Shu, that you dare to touch King Zhou's wine pool and meat forest?

Chen Xi gathered almost all the mainstream brewing masters in the world to conduct research and optimize the brewing process, and then created a variety of drinks with different flavors, and continued to develop new brews every year.

Each of these wines has its own flavor, and some Yuan Shu really doesn't like it. But just because Yuan Shu doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that no one likes it. Just looking at the carts of wine being taken away and shipped, you can tell that there are many people who like this thing. As for wine, generally It’s all like this, just focus on the flavor and texture!

"Nonsense, even if it's so powerful, we can still make it. I'll go back and take away the brewing master from Yinping County. Let's go to Chang'an to hire Chen Zichuan's brewing master and build a factory for us. We'll hire 1,800 people. Man, if you build a factory, how much money can you make?" Liu Zhang said excitedly, even having a plan ready.

It's not that Liu Zhang has good vision or outstanding abilities, but the environment in which they live makes their perspective on problems and their methods of solving problems completely different from ordinary people.

The people of Yinping County have been drinking wine for hundreds of years, thousands of years, but no one has thought about selling this stuff. But Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu came here for the first time, tasted this stuff, and realized that it was wine. After that, I realized the value of this thing.

This is actually not a matter of wisdom, but simply a matter of perspective. Without this height and perspective, it is difficult to realize the value of this thing.

"This is so exciting." Yuan Shu looked ecstatic.

As two people who have hugged Chen Xi and studied specifically, they have been to Chen Xi's breweries in various places. The large-scale factories really shocked the two of them. They were completely different from the small workshops before, and the number of people involved , there are so many jobs that it can provide and local output that it can stimulate, so much so that both Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu realized that this thing is more reliable than those high-end things.

There is no way. A large winery does not count the industrial issues involved in canning and bottling. The upstream grain industry involved alone is enough to feed countless people. If you also include its own distribution channels and the winery’s own Front-line personnel, various management personnel, etc., a super giant winery can actually say with conscience that the food and clothing of millions of workers...

The problem is that the wine industry can afford to maintain not one or two super giant wineries, but more than ten or twenty. Many people say that the wine is so unpalatable and not good for the body. Why are there so many? Then there will be so many wineries and so on.

In fact, whether it tastes bad or not, let’s put it aside for now. Anyway, Chinese people consume dozens of liters of alcohol per capita a year. Judging from the data, it should not be bad to drink, and there are many people who love it. As for poor health and so on, staying up late There will also be sudden death. Is this a problem? This is not a problem!

Consider again the intensive labor required by the winery, the social value it can create, etc. Are the previous problems still problems? What a bullshit question.

In any era, an industry that can provide millions of jobs is an industry that the country must deal with cautiously when it comes to it. If it really kills it, it is not a joke to say that everyone will be killed.

"Let's go there together and take another look. Try everywhere and see if there is any difference." Yuan Shu said excitedly. Even if the viaducts cannot be built in Yinping County and Zitong County in a short time, they can be built in these two places. A local specialty, and a specialty that can change the local people's livelihood, can be considered a success. At least having such a thing can leverage Chen Xi's plan, and there is some capital, right.

After all, it is already the tenth year of Yuanfeng. It is basically impossible to change Chen Xi’s second five-year plan, but it can still be done to influence Chen Xi’s third five-year plan. At this point, Yinping County and Zitong County have made such a plan It's an important specialty, so with just a slight influence, maybe Chen Xi would nod.

For a boss of Chen Xi's level, building roads is not about building roads. Except for those major arteries that need to be determined as soon as possible, other roads are actually more of a reflection of resource allocation, and now there are In order to obtain better resources, it is not impossible for the opponent to fall here. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu felt much better.

In this case, it seems that he and Liu Zhang don't need to be embarrassed. It would be too embarrassing to say everything out and then swallow it back.

"What is this?" Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were inspecting the wine-making workshop in Yinping County. Since they had been to a large-scale winery like Chen Xi's that was too professional, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang really couldn't mention this kind of workshop-style winery. I became interested, but as I walked around I saw some strange things.

"Yeast flower is a kind of herb that must be added when we make wine here. After adding this, the taste and aroma of the wine will be improved, making it more suitable for drinking." The old man who brewed wine replied cautiously. He had already I received a notice that the two fat guys in front of me were big shots from above, bigger than the county guards.

"In my impression, the Li wine over there doesn't seem to have this added ingredient." Liu Zhang said with some memories. As a master of wine tasting, he has seen other people brew Li wine. Although it is rare these days, Liu Zhang still has some Impressive.

"It's normal. If the level is higher than others, there must be something special about it." Yuan Shu said nonchalantly. He didn't care what was added to this thing. As long as it's not a disgusting thing and the final product tastes good, that's fine.

"Yes, looking again, it seems that there is nothing special except this thing." Liu Zhang said with some doubts, "Is this the so-called difference? If so, then it's not It is said that adding this thing to other wines will also produce changes. Speaking of which, what is this yeast flower? Is it a tree?"

"It's not a tree, it's a grass." The old man explained with gestures with his hands, "There are a lot of this kind of grass in the mountains. When we make wine every year, we go to the mountains to collect them."

"Okay, there is one more thing. This thing may be used to add something. Forget it, it doesn't matter whether it is useful or not. When the time comes, dig it back and find a place to plant it, and then let people use it to add to the brewing process of the wine. Add it to see if there is any change." Yuan Shu turned to Liu Zhang and warned him. Liu Zhang nodded when he heard this, it's just grass, they have professional planting personnel.

Although they are not Cookies, they are still Cookies' disciples. There is a saying that although Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang have canceled their actual positions and retained their false positions, the resources they can use are still far more than most senior officials. After all, blackmailing Cookies is a Things that normal people can't do, but if Cookie himself is from Sichuan and Liu Zhang takes the lead, he can still come up with something.

It's just that this kind of behavior is not very civilized and cannot be promoted. If Liu Zhang is discovered, he may be chased and beaten, but if he really has to touch his conscience, the talents he blackmailed are really useful.

"Is there anything else? I think this is no different from other brewing methods. It seems that this thing is added." Liu Zhang asked strangely.

"There really is no difference, it's just the addition of yeast flowers." The brewing master said with some embarrassment. This is the biggest difference between their Yinping County Li wine and Li Li wine from other places. As for other techniques and the like, it's completely different. There is no difference, it all depends on God to provide food for you.

"Then it's probably this thing. I'll dig some up and study it when the time comes." Yuan Shu said excitedly. He liked this simple and crude method. Chen Xi's method of letting people study winemaking is really outrageous, isn't it? Yuan Shu is good at playing. He likes this kind of behavior where God directly feeds him. This is really great.

"No, no, no, if that's the case, why should we ask Chen Zichuan to add viaducts to Yinping County and Zitong County in next year's plan?" Liu Zhang turned to Yuan Shu and said, making money is very important, but they are now In this state, do you still need to make money? Are you still short of three melons and two dates? What they lack is something else.

"Hey, you are so smart, I didn't even notice." Yuan Shu touched his double chin and said with a bit of surprise.

"Nonsense, I used to be a shepherd in Yizhou, and these are all my people. I won't give them any fucking consideration. Whoever does it will be as heartless as you." Liu Zhang said angrily.

"Am I still heartless?" Yuan Shu said with a sneer, "You don't know how the people of Yuzhou praise me. Besides, I have worked hard to build roads in Yuzhou, and Lei Jitai, do you understand? Look at it. How many of these things do you have in Yizhou? We in Yuzhou have almost finished repairing it. I am not heartless yet. You can touch your conscience and say, who has a better reputation in our own territory?"

Liu Zhang's face darkened. Although there were objective reasons, when it came to who had a better local reputation, it was undoubtedly Yuan Shu. In the territory of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu could at least take Liu Bei's second place. After all, no matter it was The road that connects various counties and counties is still almost completed at Leijitai. This was all done by Yuan Shu through various deceptions.

In addition, Yuan Shu was the first member of the aristocratic family to kick IOUs, land deed documents, etc. into the brazier. In Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's reputation was really good.

As a price, the road was built to the point that Yuan Shu did not dare to return to his hometown in Runan, because all the money of the old man at home was defrauded by Yuan Shu, and Lei Jitai even tricked Li You. As a result, Yuan Shu still does not dare to talk to Li You until now. Appearing at the same time, in short, it is not easy for Yuan Shu now.

"So, little brother, please don't worry. I have worked hard to do my own thing. I am the uncrowned king of Yuzhou. I can serve a table in Yuzhou even if I hold a broken bowl. Do you understand? ? No, you don’t understand, you don’t have this kind of treatment.” Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and then mocked Liu Zhang fiercely, saying that this is a fact!
