Mikuni convenience store

The two brothers of Liu Biao's family rode their horses at full speed all the way.

The thirty-mile journey was completed in just a moment.

After all, Liu Qi was more skilled in archery and horse riding.

When the horse arrived in front of Mixue Bingsi, he pulled the reins and then dismounted.

"I want all the Erguotou I can get from yesterday."

Zhuge Tian and the others didn't expect that someone would come to buy wine so early.

Only two people were assigned to guard here, and the others were still working on infrastructure in the village.

After receiving the news, Zhuge Tiancai walked out slowly.

At this time, Liu Cong had already arrived and stood with Liu Qi.

When I saw Zhuge Tian coming out, his clothes were obviously different from others. I was afraid that he was the one in charge here.

They shouted in unison: "Buy wine, as much as you can get."

Zhuge Tian scratched his head. He didn't expect that Erguotou was so popular.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Zhuge Tian didn't care how they divided it, he would just sell it first.

Go back inside the store and open the cash register.

Three bottles of Erguotou were sold, and some was given to Liao Hua and the others to drink.

The monthly limit is sixty bottles, and there are only fifty bottles left at this time.

Zhuge Tian bought them all at once, thought for a while, found a few clay jars, and poured all the wine into them.

We can't let them get away with selling these glass bottles cheaply.

Holding the jar and leaving the village, Zhuge Tian said:

"Here are..."

Said it was half stuck.

One liter in the Han Dynasty was equivalent to 200 milliliters in later generations. A bottle of Erguotou is half a catty, which is about 250 milliliters.

So how many liters in the Han Dynasty are equivalent to 50 bottles of Erguotou?

Zhuge Tian almost took out a calculator and pressed it.

Then Zhuge Liang's voice was heard: "There are 62 liters and 5 he here in total. Let's call it 62 liters!"

"Why is it only 62 liters?" Liu Cong frowned. "If people knew about this, they would think we couldn't afford it."

"That's all we have," Zhuge Tian said. "This wine is not easy to brew. We can only make... a little over 70 liters in a month."

"Okay, give it all to me!" Liu Cong waved his hand and was about to ask someone to get the wine, but his hand was held down by Liu Qi.

"Fourth brother, I was here first today. If it was anything else, I would have given it to you. But this wine, I bought it on father's orders, so I can't give it to you."

"Haha, big brother, you're joking. I bought this wine as a gift for my father, so it doesn't matter who buys it."

Both of them looked at each other without giving in.

"Hey, who's buying it?" Zhuge Tian asked impatiently.

"I!"

"I!"

The two brothers said in unison.

"Fourth brother, there's only one jar of this wine. How about we buy it together first and then discuss how to divide it?"

"it is good!"

Liu Cong agreed.

The two brothers each took 32 strings of cash and asked someone to carry them to Zhuge Tian.

Zhuge Tian didn't care about the copper coins he gave them, but just looked at the jar of wine.

"Brother, how about I give you double the price and give me all the wine?"

"Fourth brother, I'll give you twice the price, are you willing?"

Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang stood aside with their arms around each other, eating melons.

It’s a pity that I don’t have a handful of melon seeds in my hand.

"Then it seems we can only follow the old rules."

"Come if you want. Even though you are the eldest brother, I am not afraid of you."

After saying this, the two took two steps back and began to glare at each other.

Zhuge Tian thought that the two were going to fight, but he didn't expect that after a minute, the two were still in the same position, staring at each other.

"What are you doing?" Liao Hua and Gan Ning also came out.

"I don't know." Zhuge Tian took a few peanuts from Liao Hua's hand, crushed them, put them in his mouth and shook his head.

"Leave some for me!" Liao Hua protected his food and blocked the hands extended by Zhuge Tian and Gan Ning.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Gan Ning, and a lot of his treasures were robbed. Gan Ning then gave half of them to Zhuge Liang.

"..." Liao Hua was speechless and could only say to Zhuge Tian: "Han Xing, these peanuts are really delicious. Let's grow some too."

"Well, it's too late this year, maybe next year."

At this moment, Liu Qi shouted triumphantly: "Fourth brother, you lose."

"Humph!" Liu Cong rubbed his eyes, looked at Zhuge Tian and the others and asked, "When will this wine be available again?"

"Early next month." Zhuge Tian realized that this was a big customer.

"Would you like some beer?"

This is the only kind of liquor sold in the cash register system. He has collected some good liquor, but he is reluctant to sell it.

The only other alcoholic beverage is beer.

"What kind of wine is beer?" Hearing that there was wine, the two Liu brothers became interested again.

"You'll know after trying it. It's my treat." Zhuge Tian said to Liao Hua, "Get a few large bowls and put some ice in them."

"Everyone who sees it gets a share. Give me a bowl too!" said Liao Hua.

"Yeah." Zhuge Tian nodded and went back to the convenience store to get a small bucket of beer.

The cash register system sells these in small buckets.

Turn on the tap below and the beer will flow out.

Some orange-yellow wine filled several large bowls with ice cubes floating on top, which looked very tempting.

Liao Huacai didn't say anything polite, he picked up his bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

"Ha! Burp! Cool!"

The Liu brothers looked at him, then looked at the wine, tried to taste it, and it had a strong aroma of wheat.

The key point is that the icy and cool taste is really comfortable for the two people who came here early in the morning.

"belch!"

"belch!"

"...So cool!" Liu Cong imitated Liu Qi and shouted.

"What were you two competing for just now?" Zhuge Tian asked curiously.

"Whoever blinks first loses."

"Father said that family members are strictly prohibited from fighting among themselves. If there is a disagreement, this is the way to decide the winner."

Zhuge Tian was speechless.

Liu Biao is definitely a warlord leader in the Three Kingdoms period who deserves special mention.

I didn't expect that firstly, the wine was good, and secondly... it was such a joke?

The book also says that after Liu Biao's death, the two sons fought fiercely, but now it seems that the relationship between the two brothers is pretty good.

"How much is this wine? I want it all!" Liu Cong said first, "Brother, don't fight with me for this."

"Okay!" Liu Qi nodded.

Compared with beer, he prefers white wine.

"Ten guan a barrel. I can sell you twenty barrels a month."

Actually, a lot of this wine can be bought every month, but Zhuge Tian thought about the hard work his brothers did every day, so he planned to leave some more for everyone.

"Deal!" For Liu Cong, such a price was completely acceptable.

Although popsicles could not be made in the governor's mansion, there were still some ice cubes stored for the winter.

By then, putting it in wine will be enough to relieve the heat.

The two brothers took their own wine and headed back towards Xiangyang.

Zhuge Tian looked at the two men's backs and said, "We're not selling these things cheaply. Will Liu Biao be targeting us?"

"Don't worry!" Gan Ning pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "He has connections with both the Kuai and Pang families. One is a close minister of Liu Biao, and the other is a famous scholar in Jingzhou."

"Although I look down on Liu Biao, he wouldn't be so desperate as to snatch such a small business. If he did, I'm afraid no one in the entire Jingzhou would follow him anymore."
