Chapter 78 This is our national wine

Uncle He is a very good businessman, and now that he has a good relationship with Chen Jinyue, he will naturally be more considerate.

As soon as I left home, I asked the warehouse to load the truck.

There are 100 boxes of red dates, each box weighing 20 kilograms.

A total of one thousand kilograms of wolfberries.

There are twelve cans of fermented glutinous rice in a box, and there are more than five hundred boxes in total.

The most common quantity of small bottles of Erguotou is forty bottles per box, which is the newly arrived goods, with a total of more than two thousand boxes.

Chen Jinyue didn't ask for a brand, but he always ordered a large quantity, so he simply picked the largest quantity and then mixed it with dozens of boxes of other wines.

Before getting on the car, he went back and picked up a box of Moutai, and then sent it to the Shengyu factory in a grand manner.

Half an hour on time, several delivery trucks stopped at the warehouse door.

Chen Jinyue was a little surprised at his efficiency.

She was very strict with the time limit, but she didn't expect that he really didn't exceed it at all...

"Girl, this is a little gift from your uncle, please accept it." While Chen Jinyue was still calculating the bill, Uncle He handed over a box of Moutai.

Chen Jinyue was stunned for a moment, then after seeing the brand clearly, he refused it repeatedly, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it!"

Uncle He stuffed it into her arms and said, "You've taken care of so much of my business, and now you're introducing clients to me. This is what I should do! I don't know what you like, but since you bought so much wine, I just took it. Please don't despise it!"

Chen Jinyue, “…”

If you don't accept it, it will be considered as disgust.

She couldn't resist and finally accepted it.

This amount is not a small sum, about 200,000 yuan.

But compared to the dinner Chen Jinyue invited me to tonight, it was just a drop in the bucket.

She doesn't drink, so she offered the box of Moutai to Jiang Qian'an and introduced it, "This is our national liquor, with a unique brewing process and excellent quality. I give it to you, and congratulations on your great victory."

Jiang Qianan took it carefully, and Qingjun's face was filled with uncontrollable surprise. "Thank you, young lady!"

…

It feels like New Year's Day at the border tonight.

The soldiers won the battle. Although there were casualties, the situation was much better than before.

And for minor injuries, they have a magic medicine that can make you feel better the next day after taking a few pills. You no longer have to worry about the wound festering and dying.

Everyone knew that there would be a celebration banquet tonight with wine and meat, and the whole military camp was filled with laughter and joy.

At night, bonfires were lit.

Boxes of hot pot ingredients were brought out from the iron pot rack. Everyone followed the instructions of His Highness, peeled off the bright red skin and put it into the pot, then added water, various meatballs, and large chunks of beef and mutton.

Soon, the aroma of the hot pot spread everywhere, and the air was filled with a mouth-watering smell.

The big chunks of spicy beef and mutton, paired with strong liquor, made the soldiers' souls fly.

This is what the gods’ lives are like.

Many veterans went straight to grab the liquor to drink, after all, the liquor was in small quantities, and if you were slow, it would be gone.

But they gradually discovered that this wine was much purer than the ones they drank, and after a few sips their whole bodies were on fire.

Many young men are curious and choose to try brewing beer.

I immediately couldn't put it down.

Isn’t this a hundred times better than liquor?

After three rounds of drinking, everyone, whether they were drinking spirits or beer, was tipsy. The soldiers became more talkative, and their competitive spirit was aroused.

So a temporary fighting arena was quickly set up.

There are people competing on the stage.

There were people cheering in the audience.

Everyone had a simple and warm smile on their face.

General Xiao and his deputy generals watched all this and sighed inexplicably, "We haven't seen such a scene at the border for a long time!"

"Since this heavy snow, right? I've been losing battles and waiting to die every day." Xiao Chengyu pouted.

The excitement belongs to others, he is in a bad mood tonight.

Because he was injured and took medicine, His Highness said he could not drink alcohol or he would die.

He suspected that His Highness disliked him.

He felt a little relieved when he found out that the injured soldiers who needed medicine were unable to drink it tonight.

But he was still very depressed, and silently gave Miss Chen to His Highness. His Highness took out the national wine to share and secretly hid a bottle behind himself.

When his injury heals, he will definitely drink to his heart's content...

"Not only did we lose the battle, but we were also short of supplies, so no one dared to relax," echoed a deputy general.

"Isn't it the shortage of supplies that caused our defeat?" another deputy general asked.

"That's right! With sufficient food and grass, my tens of thousands of Xiao family soldiers can sweep away the barbarian army, and we can't allow those good-for-nothings to occupy so many cities!" The others also became excited.

But after they said this, they suddenly realized something and shut up tightly.

Then, unconsciously, he went to see Jiang Qian'an quietly.

They were resentful of the imperial court.

Jiang Qian'an is a prince after all.

But since he came to the border, conditions there have improved.

The panic caused by the natural disaster and the despair brought about by the court's abandonment were easily dispelled.

But at the same time, this prince was also abandoned.

For a moment, they were all unable to guess what this prince was thinking...

Before Jiang Qi'an could say anything, Xiao Chengyu suddenly interrupted, "Following His Highness means there's wine and meat to be had! I've already said it before, I'll swear allegiance to His Highness until death!"

The deputy generals were sobered from their drunken state and were told not to say such things carelessly.

"Young General, when did you say that? Why didn't you inform me? I also want to eat meat with His Highness!" The burly deputy general sitting closest to him was very drunk and spoke in a loud voice.

His words diluted all the serious atmosphere. When others saw that Jiang Qian'an looked fine, General Xiao didn't even say anything.

He figured it out and followed suit playfully, "I want one too! Your Highness, please don't abandon us!"

"The food and fodder Your Highness has prepared is a hundred times better than what the imperial court sent! The white rice, the cotton-padded shoes, sleeping bags, and tents for the march, and tonight's hot pot, which I've never had before, may not even be available in the capital!"

"Not only that! There's also the sugar used to make beer. I just tasted it, it's so sweet! There's no impurities at all!

"Liu Laosan! You are so shameless! You actually cheated on me?!"

"Your Highness has already said that we can eat as much as we want tonight!"

"Your Highness is wise! We will follow you until death!"

“…”

Several lieutenants started joking half-seriously and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the alcohol or the long-term suppression, but in the end, I no longer had any scruples.

Jiang Qian'an curled his lips and smiled, calm and composed, but with an arrogant temperament.

He took a sip of the wine Miss Chen had given him. It was mellow and fragrant, soft on the palate, and had a long aftertaste. It was worthy of being the national wine of a thousand years later...

The night deepens.

The celebration banquet was coming to an end, and General Xiao was a little drunk, so Jiang Qian'an and Xiao Chengyu sent him back to the tent.

As soon as Xiao Chengyu entered the tent, he was sent out.

General Xiao staggered towards the bed, looking drunk and confused, talking to himself.

"I'm old and useless now. Now that the border is secured, I think it would be a happy ending if I died drunk here tonight!"

Jiang Qi'an froze for a moment while holding his hand, then said calmly, "My father said that dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for a military commander. But I believe that as a hero of the Jiang Kingdom and with outstanding military achievements, you deserve to enjoy your old age."

General Xiao paused while sitting on the bed, raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes not cloudy with drunkenness at all, but full of inquiry.

He also thought about dying on the battlefield, but under the natural disaster, the barbarian army, which was short of supplies, was vulnerable.

They captured Shuozhou City easily.

After confirming that Jiang Qian'an's words were not meant to be a reproach but to express his true thoughts, he was relieved and decided to change the subject.

"Your Highness, please do not act on impulse and disobey the imperial edict. How can you return to the capital safely?" He knew the oral instructions brought by the person who came from the capital last time. He knew their Majesty better than anyone else.

Jiang Qi'an's voice was light, "Who said I was going back to the capital?"
