Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

She gently picked up the glass bottle and played with it carefully in her hands: "Although Pei Mingli has obtained a lot, this rare glass bottle, even if it is just this one, is enough to make people's eyes light up."

"Tomorrow, let's put it somewhere conspicuous and invite a few friends over to our house. Let them open their eyes and see this treasure. That would be great, wouldn't it?"

"Why do we have to compete with Pei Mingli? It's important for us to live our own lives." As she said this, she handed the glass bottle back to Dou Yi, her eyes full of comfort.

"it is good"

Over there, another wealthy businessman who got a bottle of beer fell asleep while drinking it...

The next day, Pei Mingli jumped out of bed at dawn.

His wife was awakened by his movement. She looked at him sleepily and muttered, "Why are you up so early?"

Pei Mingli said excitedly as he put on his clothes, "We're going to host a banquet for the nobles today. We have to prepare well and make sure nothing goes wrong."

The lady turned over and replied lazily, "Why don't the servants do the work? Why are you still busying yourself? You'll get tired and that's not going to work."

Pei Mingli waved his hand and said seriously, "That won't do. This banquet concerns our family's reputation. I have to watch over it myself to feel at ease."

"And we have such delicious wine and drinks. The nobles who come here will definitely praise it."

Seeing Pei Mingli's determination to do everything himself, the lady sighed helplessly and had to force herself to get up from the bed, still feeling a bit tired. "Yawn, I'm still sleepy."

As she fixed her slightly messy hair, she muttered softly, "Really? You really have to do this yourself. It's really tiring."

But having said that, she still followed Pei Mingli to help take care of the many matters related to entertaining the nobles.

Pei Mingli and his wife were busy and finally got everything ready: "Okay, they should be ready to come"

Soon, nobles arrived one after another, each dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing their nobility.

Pei Mingli smiled broadly, walked over, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation: "My Lords, please..."

The older noble wore a golden crown inlaid with gemstones, which perfectly matched his gold-woven brocade robe. "Brother Pei, you're too polite. We heard you got a lot of rare items, and we're all very curious."

Another wore a beautiful jade belt around his waist. The jade was smooth and beautifully carved with patterns, highlighting his status. "I heard there's also a drink called beer?"

"Yes, yes, this way please."

As everyone sat down to eat, Pei Mingli pointed at the glass bottles and drinks on the table and said, "Haha, that's exactly what we have. This glass bottle is exquisite, and these wines and drinks were obtained from the emperor. They taste unique. I'm going to make sure everyone enjoys it today."

The nobles' eyes were glued to the exquisite glass bottles and the novel wines and drinks, and the amazement in their eyes became more and more intense: "This, this, this..."

The younger nobles wore lake blue satin robes with intricate lace embroidered with silver thread at the collar and cuffs.

He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the glass bottle, feeling its smooth texture: "This glass bottle is truly a work of art, rare in the world."

The noble on the other side was wearing a white fox fur cloak. The fox fur was as white as snow, soft and shiny. The corners of his clothes fluttered when he walked, making him look elegant and extraordinary.

He picked up the drink and examined it in the sunlight: "Brother Pei is so lucky to have such a rare item."

The exclamations from all around rose and fell, interweaving in the air, making Pei Mingli full of joy: "Hahahaha"

The dancers moved their lotus steps lightly, their colorful sleeves fluttering in the wind, the musicians played cheerful music, and delicious food and wine were served on the table like flowing water.

Pei Mingli smiled widely, stood up, raised his glass, and said loudly, "Everyone, it is truly an honor for me to have you all here today. The wine and drinks on this table are all rare treasures, gifts from the Emperor. Come and taste this unique flavor."

After saying that, he took the first sip of wine, then picked up the drink and took a sip.

A nobleman picked up a glass of fine wine, first put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, the rich and mellow aroma of the wine instantly penetrated his nose: "Huh"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face: "This smells good, I wonder how it tastes."

Then, he took a sip, and the wine spread on the tip of his tongue, first slightly bitter, and then a long sweetness: "This wine is really wonderful, bitter at first, but with an endless aftertaste."

Another noble picked up the drink and looked at the crystal clear liquid with a look of curiosity in his eyes: "How come I've never seen this before?"

He took a big sip, the sweet taste spreading in his mouth, and a smile bloomed on his face: "This drink is really delicious, sweet as honey but not greasy, wonderful!"

The nobles drank one cup after another, and soon all the beer and drinks were gone.

They put down their cups reluctantly and turned their eyes to the exquisite glass bottle.

A nobleman, his eyes sparkling, picked up the glass vase and examined it carefully. "This glass vase is truly a rare treasure! Look at its transparency, like pure crystal, without a single flaw."

Another noble echoed, "Yes, the craftsmanship is truly extraordinary. Look at the sheen on this bottle; the colors reflected by the light are so brilliant! It's countless times more exquisite than ordinary glass. No wonder it can hold such a fine wine."

The other nobles also gathered around, discussing the exquisiteness of the glass bottle.

The wealthy businessman Pei Mingli's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was secretly happy, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money.

Pei Mingli couldn't help but smile, as if he had already seen the huge amount of money coming into his account.

"Hahaha"

A noble came over and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

He waved his hand: "Nothing"

Pei Mingli cleared his throat, a confident yet cunning smile on his face as he spoke loudly to the nobles, "My Lords, as you have all seen today, these glass bottles used to hold wine and beverages are all exquisitely crafted, truly rare treasures."

He turned a glass bottle around and said, "I spent a full two thousand taels of silver per bottle to obtain this from the Emperor with great difficulty. Now that you have enjoyed the wine and drinks, as for these bottles, if you are pleased, I am willing to sell them to you for two thousand taels of silver per bottle."

"After all, such an exquisite glass bottle is rare in the world. It would be a great item to add color to your house." After saying this, he looked at the nobles eagerly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a noble in gorgeous brocade robes stood up first: "Hahaha, this glass bottle is indeed exquisite. I'll take one!"
