In the eyes of wine lovers in Chang'an City, Qilixiang is just like Moutai in later generations, one of the best.

As the Cui family shop that sells Qilixiang, they simply didn’t even have a separate name for the shop, just the three gleaming characters of Qilixiang, which is better than any other name.

Even the three characters Qilixiang were written by the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun himself.

Regardless of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, wealthy businessmen from various places, or the barbarians who came to Chang'an, basically everyone disliked Qilixiang.

Even the shopkeeper of Qilixiang is Cui Qing's roommate, Cui Xiangkun, in order to ensure that Qilixiang's brand will never fail.

Early this morning, Qilixiang Shop opened its doors to welcome customers as usual, and as usual, there was a steady flow of people.

Whether it's a top-notch restaurant like Wuheju, a brothel like Yihonglou, or an ordinary inn like Yuelai Inn, people come to buy Qilixiang.

Because there are no competitors, Qilixiang has always adhered to the attitude of "buy it if you like it, or you will lose it if you don't buy it."

The price has always been the same across Chang'an. It doesn't matter whether you buy one jar or a hundred jars. It doesn't matter whether you are the purchaser of Wuheju or the housekeeper of the Duke's family. Anyway, it is ten dollars per jar for the big jar and five jars for the middle jar.

Guan Qian, Xiao Tan has two Guan Qian.

And because of the Cui family in Qinghe, Qilixiang's wine sales were never stopped even during the drought in Guanzhong.

How can you make money by selling food instead of selling drinks?

Xi Jun bought two jars of wine and stood at the door of Qilixiang with a sneer on his face.

"Where's your shopkeeper? Tell him to come out!"

Regardless of whether there were people queuing up to buy drinks next to him, Xi Junmai walked straight to the front.

"Sir, if you want to buy a drink, just wait in line at the back!"

"Hmph! Buy wine? You guys selling fake wine, who dares to buy it?"

The clerk was in the shop, but no customer had ever dared to treat him like this, so he immediately stopped working.

"Who did you say sold fake wine?"

"What I'm talking about is that you Qilixiang sell fake wine and mix water into the wine. The number one wine in Chang'an is not even comparable to the wine brewed by our palace."

"Huh, this guest, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. We Qilixiang are not easy to mess with."

The guys at Qilixiang also sensed that the visitor was evil, and the guards in the shop also rushed out from the backyard.

"Hmph, I, Xi Junmai, never talk nonsense. If you say you sell fake wine, you are selling fake wine! Smash it!"

Following Xi Junmai's order, five or six guards from the Prince of Chu's Palace behind him immediately rushed into Qilixiang Shop, raised a jar of wine, and smashed it on the ground.

Qilixiang's guys and guards naturally quit.

First they were pushed and pushed, and then they started to fight.

The sounds of "bang", "clang!" and "ah!" were heard constantly from the Qilixiang shop in Nuoda.

People who were queuing up to buy drinks were so frightened that they backed away. However, no one left, they all watched the excitement.

Does Qilixiang sell fake wine?

This is no ordinary news.

If the wine you bought is really fake and the owner thinks that he deliberately switched the package and paid for the wine, that would be serious.

Besides, the guys in the Qilixiang shop don't look good every time they go to buy wine, as if everyone owes them money.

Therefore, everyone was happy to watch the fun.

There is not much entertainment in the winter. The nobles can still play mahjong. What can I do as an errand boy?

There is no telling that this scene before us will become the first major event in Chang'an City in the eight years since Zhenguan.

There was such a big commotion in the shop that Cui Xiangkun, who was doing indescribable actions with his concubine in the backyard, rushed out without even fastening his belt.

What caught his eye was a mess.

The waiters and guards in the shop had all been thrown to the ground, wailing continuously.

Drinks were flowing on the ground, and there were people smashing wine jars there.

"stop!"

Cui Xiangkun shouted loudly.

Xi Junmai saw the shopkeeper coming out and signaled everyone to stop first.

"Are you the shopkeeper Qilixiang?"

"Yes, I, Cui Xiangkun, have been the shopkeeper of Qilixiang Shop for fifteen years."

Cui Xiangkun's face was livid and his eyes were filled with anger, but it was a pity that Xi Junmai didn't care at all.

"Humph, what were you doing earlier? I just called you and you didn't come!"

"You actually dared to smash our Qilixiang in broad daylight. Who gave you the courage? Lang Lang Qiankun, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to withstand the Cui family's anger?"

"Who gave me the courage? Hahaha~" Xi Junmai laughed and said, "I would like to ask Shopkeeper Cui, who gave you the courage to sell fake wine?"

"Every jar of wine we sell in Qilixiang is authentically produced by a century-old Qinghe cellar. It is brewed with the best grains. How can we call it fake wine?"

Now that things have happened, Shopkeeper Cui also knows that the most important thing is to make it clear that Qilixiang sells fake wine. Otherwise, there are so many people outside and people are passing it around, and we don’t know how it will spread.

He had used similar methods to bring down several liquor stores.

As for the financial losses caused by Xi Junmai's smashing up the shop, Cui Xiangkun is not the most concerned about it.

"Hmph, when we were buying wine, you guys were all saying that Qilixiang is the best wine in Chang'an City, the strongest wine, and the most fragrant wine. Is that right?"

"We were right, Qilixiang is the best, strongest and most fragrant wine."

A man who was not seriously injured also crawled out from the ground after seeing Cui Xiangkun coming out.

"That's right, what our shop clerk said is recognized by everyone. Our Qilixiang is the best wine in Chang'an City."

"Bang!"

Xi Junmai put the two jars of wine in his arms on the counter.

"This jar of wine was sold by your Qilixiang shop, right? You should confirm it yourself first, so as not to say that I have tampered with it."

When Cui Xiangkun saw the two jars, he felt vaguely evil.

The waiter behind him stepped forward, picked up the wine jar, looked around, then opened the wine jar and sniffed, "Shopkeeper, this jar of wine is our Qilixiang."

Cui Xiangkun said nothing, took the wine jar, raised his neck, and a stream of wine accurately entered his mouth.

"Yes, this is indeed our Qili Xiang!"

After personally confirming that the drink was correct, Cui Xiangkun looked at Xi Jun buying it coldly.

"Shopkeeper Cui should be a famous wine connoisseur. Then open the jar of wine next to you and try it. See why I said the wine sold in your Qilixiang shop is fake?"

Xi Junmai felt reassured when he saw that everything today was consistent with what the prince had described beforehand.

Cui Xiangkun looked at the bottle of wine without any name on the counter, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

However, at this moment, he could no longer refuse.

Otherwise, the groundless rumor that Qilixiang Shop sells fake wine will spread throughout Chang'an City in less than two days.

After thinking again and again, Cui Xiangkun picked up the jar of wine, quickly opened the jar, and raised his head as before.

"puff!"
Chapter completed!
