On the first day that Changle Winery opened, because of Magistrate Luo's words, many merchants and wealthy households opened their fields to release water.
Although the liquor was expensive, they sold a lot in the end.
The servants and craftsmen on the counter said they were very busy twisting silver, and they earned hundreds of catties of silver in just one day.
After this incident spread, it is said that even the Sogdians, who had been smeared with honey in their mouths and glue on their hands since birth, were in awe of the Changle County Magistrate.
At the same time, news gradually spread that Changle County could produce liquor.
Everyone said that this liquor was so powerful that no other liquor in the world could compare with it.
Then slowly, more and more people came to Changle County to sell wine.
I heard that Turkic merchants also came to Changle County to buy wine.
People who knew it said they bought it for their Khan.
Over in Dunhuang, it has now entered the most lively season of the year.
Many merchants there also go to Changle County to buy wine.
After buying it back, they put jars and jars of liquor on the counters.
When guests come, if they want to buy a drink, drink a glass with them; if they want to buy a pot, drink a pot with them.
The small white porcelain jug with a narrow mouth can fill about six or seven small cups.
Two or three people drank it separately, and they could probably get tipsy.
But the price is too expensive, and ordinary people are not willing to buy it.
However, you can often see some porters from Changle County on the street carrying burdens selling the tail of the liquor.
It is said that the liquor is divided into head, heart and tail. , the one with five taels of silver in a jar is the heart of the wine, and the best one is brewed from a batch of liquor.
The head of the wine is the most potent and has a slightly off-flavor, and is not sold.
I heard that Magistrate Luo kept them for other purposes.
The taste of the wine tail is a bit bland and does not mix with the five taels of silver in the heart of the wine.
Every time a new batch of wine is brewed, these wine tails are sold at a low price.
The locals know which day they produce the wine.
Often before dawn, I would carry a load and wait at the door of the wine shop.
When I could buy the wine, I would then go to Dunhuang, Jinchang and other places to sell it.
The porters often take three to five days to get back when they carry this load of wine.
If they go to Dunhuang, it takes one day on the way there and one day on the way back.
It also costs one or two days to sell wine in Dunhuang.
Day's work.
The situation is similar when selling tofu, except that tofu is cheaper and sells faster.
Often just outside Dunhuang, you can meet some merchants waiting to buy tofu.
If you go to Jinchang, the journey is a little closer, but Jinchang is a small city, not as prosperous and lively as Dunhuang, and there are not as many people buying goods as Dunhuang. "" "Wine tail, drink tail, always enjoy wine tail" "How can you sell this wine?"
"Two cents a piece, it's the same price."
"There are often customers in my shop who want to eat.
It's cheaper for you and me."
"If you can buy one liter, I will give you an extra liter."
"I buy a bucket, and you give me three liters more."
"How to make it" "Don't leave, don't leave.
Come here first.
I'll take a look at your wine."
"The wine is all that wine, how beautiful it is."
"That's different.
I heard that some people add water to the wine."
"How can that be done?"

"" "Hey, you are Chang Le's drunkard."
"Exactly."
“What’s the price?”
"Two cents a piece."
"Fight with me."
"Why." "" I sell wine outside all day long, and I meet all kinds of people.
Some people are cheerful, some are rude, and there are many people who bargain.
However, the price of these two cents per unit is also negotiated among these porters, so it is not easy to change the price.
Will let go.
After wandering around the city for a whole day, when it got dark, they went to stay in a familiar guest house.
Basically, they were all in the same place, so they knew each other better and could support each other in any situation.
In addition, this person is so powerful that outsiders dare not bully him easily.
The guest house where the porters stayed was very simple and shabby, with a shabby courtyard.
It only cost two pence for a night's stay.
There are a few adobe houses and a few large bunks, with only straw mats on the bunks, not even a piece of cloth.
There is a stove outside the yard, but if you want to make a fire for cooking, you have to pay extra.
These wine sellers usually don't light a fire, just drink water, eat a few mouthfuls of dry food brought from home, fill their stomachs hastily, and then take a rest.
Some people who are close to each other will get together to chat, which is nothing more than talking about the people and things they met today, and who they will go with when they go back tomorrow and the next day.
They, the wine sellers, will go back On the way, everyone is carrying money, and they are afraid of being stared at.
It is best to find a few more people to go with.
Sometimes if you encounter a caravan going east, the road will be more lively and safer. "" "I don't have much left.
It will be sold out in less than half a day."
"I'm afraid I'll have to sell it for one more day."
"A lot of people are going back the next morning.
If you stay a day later, there will be fewer people on the road."
"well" "You sell it for another day tomorrow.
If you can't sell out, find a food shop to sell it cheaply before dark.
But you won't lose money even if you make less."
"I'll think about it some more."
"I'm still thinking about it.
You just went to the wrong place today.
They just sold the wine in front of you.
If you go back to the house again, what kind of wine can you still sell?"
"How could I have expected that?"
"Forget it, don't think about it.
Sell all the wine tomorrow and go back with us."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to stay for a day or two more.
If there is a caravan going to Changle County, I can go there with them."
"Don't be confused.
You know that those barbarian merchants are easy to get along with.
I heard that in the desert, murders and robbery of goods often occur.
It is not just the robbers who rob the goods, but also the caravans rob each other.
Those are all licking blood from the knife edge.
If you dare to go with them alone, if someone has evil intentions."
"He has a point."

"Yes, you must not go with those Hu merchants alone."
"At any rate, we have to find a few people from Changle County to join us."
"Yes, yes."
"There are still those tofu sellers.
If you go to the city gate and take a look, you should be able to find them and go back together."
"In fact, it's better to come with us. "" The man finally listened to the advice and went out to sell wine for another day the next day.
There were some leftovers that were not sold, so he found a food shop and gave away a few more coins and sold them to the shop at a low price.
They rested in the small courtyard for another night.
Before dawn the next day, these people all got up.
Each of them had heavy copper coins in their arms, and barrels of sold-out wine were hung on their burdens.
There were still wine barrels in them.
I bought a lot of grain and dried meat to pay for the wine.
There are not many copper coins in Dunhuang, and they are often not enough for market circulation.
When people buy and sell goods, silk is often used for large transactions, and sometimes gold, silver, and even various spices are used.
If it is a small business of a few cents, it is often paid with grain and dried meat.
A group of people set out before dawn, hurriedly and slowly, and did not return to Changle County until after dark.
The families of these people were naturally very happy.
They boiled water and cooked food.
They even lit the oil lamps that they were reluctant to use.
The family gathered together to count the copper coins.
In these few days, they made more money than before.
A month of exhausting work would make more money.
If it weren't for the new county magistrate, they wouldn't be able to find such a good job in Changle County.
"Come on, eat this bowl of buns quickly."
The old woman brought up a large pottery bowl of steaming white flour buns from the kitchen.
The snow-white bowl of buns was filled with bacon and vegetables.
It smelled delicious and made the children in the room swallow their saliva and stare blankly with their eyes.
"Come here, everyone."
The man waved to the children, and they all passed by with smiles on their faces.
"Come on, come on, there's still something in your pot, don't be greedy for what's in your Aye bowl."
The old woman quickly reached out to stop her: "Go to the kitchen, your grandma is cooking for you, go quickly, go quickly."
What was being cooked in the kitchen at this time was not white flour buns.
The younger woman mixed some thick noodles with the little soup left in the pot and added some water to cook for each of the children in the family.
A small bowl of buns.
Her husband couldn't eat or sleep well these days outside.
He worked so hard to earn all this money.
Grandma was happy and worried about her son's health, so she scooped out the bowl of white noodles from her room. , there is no such thing as ordinary food.
If they hadn't earned some money recently, they wouldn't have had this small bowl of thick noodles.
They had two meals every morning and evening.
If they had eaten, they had eaten.
If they hadn't eaten enough, they would have been hungry. , there is no such thing as a midnight snack.
After eating the buns, the family was talking in the house.
The elderly Aweng said that someone came from Jinchang yesterday and said that it was Governor Chen who wanted to talk to Magistrate Luo.
Early this morning, Magistrate Luo left the city until I don't see him coming back now.
"What's wrong?

Something happened again?"
The last time someone came to Jinchang, it was because of the incident at the inn.
At that time, the soldier Cao brought many people over.
The formation was quite large, which made some Changle people feel excited.
What happened this time?
, why did you call Magistrate Luo?
"Isn't the magistrate of our Luo County under the control of the governor Chen?
It's not a big deal to go talk to him."
The grandmother said.
"If it's nothing serious, just send someone over with a letter.
If you're looking for someone like this, I guess there's something going on."
The man said.
"" Aweng sighed and said, "When I went out to fetch water today, I heard someone say something, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"That's quite true" "It's about making wine.
We don't produce much grain here, and making wine costs a lot of food.
I think that's what Governor Chen wants to talk about when I come here."
It is true that making wine requires food.
It is also true that they produce less food here.
But is it because of this that Changle County will no longer make wine in the future?
This man felt depressed, but he didn’t know where to start.
He only didn’t know how Magistrate Luo dealt with it.
Changle County would never be able to make wine again gd1806102:
