Chapter 67 I'm Wrong
"How about this wine?" Su Jinyue looked at her second uncle with amusement and couldn't help asking in a low voice.
Uncle Su still didn't put down the wine glass in his hand, and with a flushed face, he praised repeatedly: "Good wine! Wonderful!"
"One hundred and eighty per cup!" Su Jinyue really couldn't help but say the following words, but she didn't expect her second uncle Su to not refute it.
"value!"
This time it was Su Jinyue's turn to be stunned. "Huh?" How could it be worth it? Just this baijiu, which has an extra step of distillation compared to rice wine?
"One hundred and eighty per cup, not a bottle?"
"value!"
Second Uncle Su picked up a piece of fish sashimi with his chopsticks and took a sip of wine, "Sha..."
"Cool!"
"It's worth it! It's worth it!"
Okay, okay, let's play it this way, huh?! Su Jinyue stared at her second uncle, whose face was already flushing. She had made up her mind! Let's do it this way!
"Dan, Gui, bring up the other kinds of wine."
Eighteen, eighty-eight, one hundred and eighty-eight.
Minimum consumption, set meals, and booths are all arranged.
Can't you take this down? It's easy!
After tasting several kinds of wine in succession, Uncle Su could no longer hear what his good nephew said.
"What? Sell the wine? Who? You can't sell it. Leave it to your second uncle. Leave it all to your second uncle. Give some to your grandfather and eldest uncle, and don't forget to pay tribute to His Majesty."
"You're thirteen years old now, a grown man should drink. Come, drink this cup from uncle, it's strong!"
Su Ji looked at her second brother with a headache. It was rare to see him so indulgent, so she didn't spoil the fun and let them play. She took the fruit wine that her daughter had specially prepared for her and drank it slowly.
It wasn't until midnight that Second Uncle Su woke up on Thirteen's bed and remembered the purpose of his visit today. He shook his dizzy head and fell back onto the bed weakly. "Forget it, it's a rare opportunity to get drunk, so let me steal this night of pleasure."
It was not until after the court meeting the next day, when Second Uncle Su and Su Jinyue were walking side by side on the way back to the palace, that he realized what a big surprise Su Jinyue had brought him this time.
"Really? Then the wine will be handed over to my grandparents?"
Su Jinyue: "Really! Second uncle, these wines will be sold on the same day as Baiyujing, and will be handed over to my grandfather's family. As for who to distribute them to, let my grandfather and uncle be responsible. However, it must be registered under the name of the Ministry of Commerce. The profit..."
Having said this, she turned to look at Second Uncle Su. He was staring at her with shining eyes, his expression even more excited than her own. "Second Uncle understands Jin Yue's good intentions. Don't worry, Second Uncle will definitely take care of this matter!"
Uncle Su, who was rubbing his hands and eager to try, turned around briskly and returned to his mansion to write a letter to his old father, informing him of the interests involved.
"Second uncle, bring some wine back and give it to my grandfather and the others."
Second Uncle Su slammed on the brakes and made a 180-degree turn. "Indeed, Second Uncle likes that liquor very much. It should be named after the restaurant. White Jade Liquor is also good." After saying this, he remembered something and coughed a few times uncomfortably. "It's mainly because your grandfather likes it and your eldest uncle likes it too. It doesn't hurt to prepare some more."
Su Jinyue pretended not to notice her second uncle's little thoughts and turned the topic to naming, "Qiongjiangyuye, how about it?"
Uncle Su pondered for a moment, "An old Chu Song Gong once said, 'After the wine is served, there is a little nectar.' Adding the words 'jade liquor' makes it even more wonderful, ethereal and beautiful."
Su Jinyue herself thinks so too, hehe.
The white-haired old man far away in Yingchuan County also felt so.
The courtyard inside the county magistrate's mansion is deep, with several old trees taking root in it. Their strong trunks extend out of the courtyard wall, and they appear even more thriving under the moonlight.
A team of well-trained waiters, holding lanterns, walked through the winding courtyard until they came to a study with a wide door and high eaves. The leading waiter took the medicine soup handed over by the waiter behind him and bowed to enter the room.
He carefully placed the medicine soup on the table in the middle of the study. There, Yingchuan County Magistrate Su Ying was holding a stack of letters in his hands, concentrating on savoring every word in the letter from his second son.
Sitting quietly on one side of the table was a man with a handsome face and a slight beard. This man was Su Zhang, the eldest uncle of the Su family. He had been living in Yingchuan County with his father and helping to manage the county's official affairs.
"Father, what did my second brother say in the letter?" Uncle Su couldn't hide his anxiety and couldn't help asking.
Su Ying reached out and handed the letter in her hand to her eldest son, then picked up the medicine on the table and drank it all.
He looked relaxed, sitting leisurely in the reclining chair, and said in a gentle tone, "Yu'er was naughty in the past few years, but now that he is middle-aged, he has acquired some of the youthful vigor."
When he said this, he seemed to think of something funny and chuckled, "It's just that this kid is getting more and more outrageous. The second time he came to visit, he got drunk at Yuehua Palace."
The eldest uncle of the Su family had quickly finished reading the letter in his hand and looked at his father excitedly, "Grandfather, is that nectar really as mellow as my second brother said? Doesn't he always brag about being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? How come he embarrassed himself in front of the younger generation after just a few drinks?"
Su Ying shook her head in amusement. "That boy is still such a drunkard. If you're curious, just wait patiently for a few days. I heard Yue'er specially sent several carts of gifts to show her filial piety to you and me, including a lot of fine wine."
He was originally in a good mood, but when he thought of his little daughter, his eyes lit up with longing. "After so many years, I wonder what your little sister looks like now?"
Sensing his father's sadness, Su Zhang quickly changed the subject. "Father, my second brother said in the letter that Jin Yue has handed over the production and sales of this fine wine to our Su family, and that we will also decide on the distribution rights. Does this mean that she has accepted the surrender of those families?"
"Not entirely." Su Ying was indeed drawn to the topic and explained it to her eldest son. "All of this is based on the premise that we are under the name of the government-run business department, and half of the profits must be shared with the national treasury. However, this has its pros and cons."
He habitually took the brush from the pen holder, dipped it in ink and practiced calligraphy.
"First, the profits go to the national treasury, but the risks we face from our investments remain undivided. We may even face greater challenges than before, which is a drawback."
Raising his hand to stop his eldest son who was about to speak, he continued.
"Jin Yue is experienced in handling affairs. This is the second reason for her move. Joining the Ministry of Officials and Merchants is equivalent to joining the imperial court directly, which is more reliable than Yue'er. Moreover, the second son has just entered the court as an official and needs to make achievements. If this is accomplished, his position in the Ministry of Officials and Merchants will be firmly established."
As he spoke, the pen in his hand kept moving, and the sharp tip of the pen showed his decisiveness in the transition between the beginning, development, and ending.
"When the fine wines arrive, I'll invite everyone to taste them together."
Uncle Su stood up and saluted, "Yes, father."
If Su Jinyue, who was regarded as sophisticated and comprehensive, knew about it, she would definitely praise the other party for her good eye.
But at this moment, she was kneeling in the Qinzheng Hall, unable to protect herself, and had no time to think about anything else.
"Father, I was wrong."
