The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

With the addition of Zhou Zheng, a strong laborer, the Li family's small wine-making workshop began to get on track. Every day, the two men washed rice, soaked rice, steamed, fermented, pressed, clarified, and decocted the wine, and finally packed it into jars for storage.

Li Shao still performed some key steps himself and did not reveal them to Zhou Zheng.

Zhao Ye cooked for them at home every day at noon, and they lived a simple and happy life.

When the day agreed with Boss Liu to pick up the wine arrived, I thought only the shop assistants would come to pick up the wine, but unexpectedly Boss Liu came as well.

"Boss Li, I'm busy." Boss Liu said with a bow.

Li Shao replied, "Why are you here, Boss Liu? Come in, Brother Zhou, this is Boss Liu from the Qingfeng Restaurant in town, and he is also our regular customer who orders 600 kilograms of rice wine every month. Boss Liu, this is Brother Zhou who works for me."

Zhou Zheng saw that Li Shao actually introduced him to the big boss, and quickly said, "Hello, Boss Liu."

Boss Liu responded with a smile, and said, "The store is not busy today, and I remembered that it was the day when the waiter came to get the wine from Boss Li, so I came to visit Boss Li."

Li Shao complained in his heart: You are afraid that I can't produce 600 kilograms of wine, so why don't you come and visit me? You are using a new century recipe, and the output speed of wine making is not comparable to that of ancient times.

But he didn't show anything on his face, and said, "The wine has been prepared a long time ago. Brother Zhou, take Boss Liu's work to the warehouse to get the wine."

Zhou Zheng said yes repeatedly and took a few men to move the wine.

Li Shaoze took Boss Liu to a small room, took out a small jar of wine, and said, "Boss Liu, it's a good opportunity for you to come today and try my newly brewed wine."

As he said this, he poured the wine into a glass and handed it to Boss Liu.

When Boss Liu heard about the new wine, he immediately became interested. Customers who had tasted the rice wine before all said it was good, and a lot of pre-sale products were sold out, so he thought the new wine would not be much worse.

"Well, I must try it."

The wine in the glass was clear and transparent, with a light amber color. When I put it under my nose, I could smell a faint sweet scent.

Boss Liu took the cup and tasted it carefully. After a moment, he said, "Good, good, good. This wine is mellow and smooth. After swallowing, there is a light aftertaste and wine aroma. It's really good."

"Boss Li, where did you learn this winemaking skill? It's really extraordinary. This wine doesn't taste like it was brewed from rice."

"Hahaha, thank you Boss Liu for the compliment. This wine is made from sweet potatoes." Li Shao said. It was nothing to tell him the raw material. If he wanted to sell sweet potato wine in the future, he would have to buy a lot of sweet potatoes.

Anyone who is interested will find out if they ask around. Li Shao didn't try to hide it. In ancient times, people must have used sweet potatoes to make wine, but they definitely couldn't do it like he did.

When Boss Liu heard that it was made from sweet potatoes, he poured another glass of wine and tasted it carefully. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I have drunk wine made from sweet potatoes before, but I have never seen one as clear and transparent as this one. It is also amber in color, and it tastes far inferior to this wine."

"Boss Li, I really admire you. If you want to sell this sweet potato wine, you have to give it a good name. Calling it sweet potato wine is too cheap."

Then he said, "Boss Li, I want this sweet potato wine. It's the same as the rice wine. Six hundred kilograms per month. This price..."

Li Shao was waiting for him to say this, and said with a smile: "Sweet potato wine is 150 wen per catty. I don't have much now. If it is 600 catties, it will be ready for shipment in a month."

Hearing the price of 150 Wen, Boss Liu held back his next words, "Boss Li, sweet potatoes are worthless. Yellow wine is made from the best rice and costs 100 Wen per pound. How come this sweet potato wine is more expensive than yellow wine?"

"Boss Liu, that's not the way to say it. If you sell this wine outside, who can tell it's made from sweet potatoes? Besides, the process of making this wine is complicated, and the auxiliary ingredients added make it much more expensive than other wines."

"I gave you 100 coins per pound of rice wine before because it was our first time working together. I didn't make any money but wanted to make you my friend." Li Shao looked like he had suffered a great loss.

Boss Liu was so depressed that he was at a loss for words. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "Boss Li, you are really a good businessman. Well, never mind, one hundred and fifty coins is one hundred and fifty coins, but you have to sell this wine to me only."

"That's no problem. We'll sign an order contract soon. Happy cooperation, Boss Liu."

Boss Liu smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

After they signed the contract and paid the deposit, Li Shao gave the remaining sweet potato wine to Boss Liu as a gift. After the guys loaded the wine into the car, Boss Liu refused Li Shao's offer of dinner and hurried back to town.

This wine is clear and transparent, and it has a rare amber color. People in this dynasty think that amber is a luxurious color and it is highly sought after.

With its special taste and aroma, he believed it would be a big hit. He had to go back and discuss with the shopkeeper to come up with a good name. He had to sell the wine for at least 300 wen per catty, which cost 150 wen.

Thinking of Boss Liu's suffocating look, Li Shao wanted to laugh. He had lowered the price of rice wine, and he had to make it up from the sweet potato wine.

Sweet potatoes are cheap, and even if other people know how to use them to make wine, they can't produce a finished product like Li Shao. It seems that this wine can be the main product of my own winery in the future.

Li Shao was in a good mood after making such a good deal. He asked Zhou Zheng to finish the work at hand and let him go home early today.

"Brother Ye, I'm back."

Zhao Ye was practicing calligraphy at home. Not long ago, Li Shao went to the town's bookstore and bought a few enlightenment books such as Thousand Characters. He taught Zhao Ye reading, writing, and arithmetic every day. He would test him from time to time. If he failed, Li Shao would punish him severely.

So Zhao Ye usually works very hard, and practices by himself when he has nothing to do. Thinking of Li Shao's "punishment", Zhao Ye couldn't help blushing, and quickly patted his face to stop himself from thinking about it. At this time, Li Shao came into the house.

I quickly put down what I was holding and went to meet him, "Husband, why are you back so early today? I haven't finished cooking yet. I'll go now."

Li Shao quickly grabbed the person next to him and pulled him to sit down, "Don't worry, it's still early, let's go home early today."

Seeing Li Shao's happy look, Zhao Ye asked, "Why did you leave work early? My husband, why do you look so happy? What's the happy news?"

Li Shao laughed and said, "I am happy when I see my brother Ye. I am so upset that I can't see you in the winery every day. No, I have to hire someone so that I can watch over you every day."

As he said this, he leaned his body against Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye, who was pressed down by him and couldn't move, struggled weakly and shouted, "Husband, please get up quickly and stop making trouble. I'm going to be crushed by you. You're really bad."

"Hahahaha, how am I bad? Tell me, how come I don't know that I am bad..."

The two of them quarreled for a while, then Li Shao turned over and carried Zhao Ye, whose eyes and face were red because of his bullying, to lie on him, and said, "I won't tease you anymore. Boss Liu is here to buy wine today, so I gave him some sweet potato wine to taste. From now on, he will also need 600 catties per month, and each catty will cost 150 wen."

"The contract has been signed. I'll give you the contract and deposit later. You keep them. It's a big deal today, so I'll let Brother Zhou go home early."

Hearing this number, Zhao Ye exclaimed, "One hundred and fifty coins per catty! My husband, you are amazing. You can sell wine made from sweet potatoes at this price."

"Hey, are you happy? I won't be bad this time, right?"

Zhao Ye rested his head on his chest muscle and said, "You are so bad. You are mean to me every day."

"By the way, husband, we just made a big deal, we must celebrate tonight, what do you want to eat?"

Li Shao thought for a moment and said, "It's so cold, and I suddenly want to eat hot pot. Let's eat hot pot."

"Husband, what is hot pot?" Zhao Ye asked curiously.

"It's just using bone broth or other soup bases, blanching the meat and vegetables, and then eating with sesame paste."

"Husband, you are talking about hot pot, right? But we eat hot pot with dipping sauce."

Li Shao then realized that there were things similar to hot pot in this era, but with fewer varieties.

He nodded and said, "Yes, it is hot pot, but it is eaten in a different way. I will let you have a good taste tonight."
