Longevity begins with Orion
Chapter 82 80. Snow fermented grains
At this time, in the private room of Hengwu Restaurant, Li Yuan was a little distressed.
He brought Zhou Jia to meet his servants, but Zhou Jia would not sit down. No matter what he said, Zhou Jia would stand respectfully at the door and would not even enter.
"Old Zhou, are you bored now?
You told me to follow me, but I asked you to come in and sit down for a few bites of food. So what? "
"Come on, come on, I'll give you a pen and paper, you said"
"Why doesn't a servant eat with his master? I don't have such a rule here. Sit here and eat.
On this snowy day, old ginger, red dates and rice wine are boiled, which is very refreshing. This rice wine was brought by foreign caravans and will be gone after drinking it. "
"Well, if you don't like drinking, come and have some tea and something to eat."
"What do you mean, you won't move?"
Li Yuan's mouth went dry as he spoke. Zhou Jia just lowered his head, pressing the slender handle of the knife with his palm, standing quietly in the shadow beside the door, his eyes dull and distracted, as if he was staring at somewhere, as if he was immersed in it. It is difficult to extricate yourself from your own world or a certain memory.
Just as he was talking, the sound of "ta-da-da" footsteps came from the stairs.
In the blink of an eye, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the private room clearly illuminated the appearance of the visitor.
This is a charming lady with exquisite facial features. She has an oval face and fox eyes. Her graceful body is wrapped in a wide-sleeved vermilion fur coat. Downy hair surrounds her snow-white neck. There is a dignified, calm and pleasing curve at the corner of her lips. She raises her hands and feet in a charming way. Chuchu makes men with weak aura feel like it is difficult to reach high.
"Mr. sir." The landlady smiled, as if she was illuminated, and then walked quickly to Li Yuan's side, and looked at Zhou Jia who was huddled in the darkness with him, and then said politely, "Is this Mr. Zhou?
I was at the teahouse just now, and I heard your name just after I arrived.
Don't be shy. When you come to this building, you will call it your home. "
Zhou Jia said nothing.
The landlady smiled dignifiedly and said: "My men usually don't drink much. It's rare that he asked someone to bring rice wine and old ginger and cook it in a pot.
Mr. Zhou, don't spoil the fun of my men. Come sit in the room and drink some wine to keep away the cold. "
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, I'm at home, but even I have to listen to my wife. Come on, come on, sit in quickly."
But Zhou Jia still didn't move.
The air suddenly became dull for a few breaths.
The next moment, Zhou Jia bent down, bowed, and then stood far away, like a straight spear standing in the darkness, silent.
Li Yuan sighed and looked at the landlady again.
The landlady said politely: "Mr. Zhou, then I will ask the boss to take you to familiarize yourself with the restaurant in advance, and take you to the house to tidy up first. After all, you will live here in the future, right?"
Zhou Jia nodded.
The landlady then asked Steward Wu to be called, and then told Steward Wu to address Zhou Jia as sir. From then on, Zhou Jia would be in charge of feeding the stables and horses, and Zhou Jia's salary would be paid according to stewardship.
Manager Wu was amazed and glanced at the knife on Zhou Jia's waist. He didn't know if it was a scary thing or a real weapon. After all, can someone who uses this knife as a real weapon come to work in a restaurant?
Li Yuan shouted: "Old Wu, Mr. Zhou is in the eighth grade.
Also, he is from my sect, so remember to be respectful. "
Wu Guanshi staggered, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he suddenly became respectful.
When people left, the landlady took Li Yuan's arm, came to the private room, and asked, "Ms. sir, are these eighth-grade people from Mr. Li's side?"
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Sister Xue, this is indeed a member of my master's sect. He has a somewhat painful past, and now he just wants to follow me. I asked him to come to the restaurant to help look after the restaurant."
The landlady said: "The stables are connected to the wine shop, so he can watch them together."
Li Yuandao: "Don't let him do the inspection work. Send two waiters to him, but if he doesn't want it, don't force it.
By the way, are all the brewing equipment and tanks in the winery ready? "
"Well it's all done."
"Did you also make the distillation equipment I mentioned?"
“I’ve done it and tried it, and I can really make stronger wine!”
"Well, remember that people who make wine need to be patient, and they must use their trusted friends. Others are not allowed to enter the winery." Although Li Yuan didn't know the details, he still knew the basic common sense that "distilled wine" can purify stronger wine. As for the mastery of "heat", he also heard someone talk about it when he was drinking at a banquet before traveling through time.
He told the proprietress about the "distilled liquor", and after the secret experiment was successful, he patiently waited for the opportunity.
Now that he has broken through to the seventh level and has Zhou Jia, the time has come.
"Well, don't worry, my husband, my concubine has been arranged."
"In that case, then tomorrow, I will approve the brewing rights of this shop and put it on record."
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Will there be trouble over there at Yichan Pavilion?"
"It doesn't matter. The black-faced elder is also a decent person. You won't do it yourself, right?" Li Yuan smiled, "As for the other eighth and ninth grades, if they can make waves in this silver stream, I will lose."
He was full of confidence.
With master-level tracking, breath-seeking skills, and the strongest "370" overall strength, you wouldn't even dare to ask for the "right to brew wine", right?
He is an eighth-level genius within the Blood Knife Sect, and has a small circle background in the master's sect. Can't he earn this drinking money?
He knew that the previous generation of Yanyue Sect were Master Li and Zhou Jia, but did others know?
It’s time for Hengwu Restaurant to transform from a casual restaurant into a real restaurant that can serve alcohol.
By making wine in a real shop, he can make more money. With money, he can do more things.
At dusk, the carriage ran over the ice and snow, leaving two scratches on the pale road.
Cross the street, turn the corner, and head towards the inner city.
In the car, the proprietress held a warm bottle to cover her hands, leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder, and said softly: "It's getting harder and harder to live these days."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm worried about chaos."
"If Yinxi is in chaos, it will also be the last place in Shanbao County to become chaotic."
"This year's harvest is bad again. There is obviously no natural disaster. How could it be like this?" The landlady sighed softly and said, "The newly collected offerings from your Blood Knife Sect are completely different from Master Wu and Master Li. Some of them are simply bandits and thieves. Kou. I don’t know how many bad things he has done.”
"Isn't this to deal with the Sun family and the remnants of the Wei family?
Last year, the remnants of Yinxi, Wutong, and Zichong were wiped out, but those in other places were still alive. Li Yuan said casually, and then asked, "Is there any news from outside the county?" "
"I have had several contacts with people from the caravan, and they said," the landlady's beautiful eyes flashed with sadness, "famine is happening everywhere, last year it happened, and it continues this year.
Some places that were not troubled before have become troubled this year. It seems that many of the original fertile fields and fertile soil are no longer viable.
I don’t know what’s going on.
Now people are dying of hunger all over the land, and the land is full of toothless people. Ugh."
She sighed.
The human heart is made of flesh, even if it has nothing to do with oneself for the time being, how can it not have some compassion and compassion for others?
"Is it?"
Li Yuan responded, but suddenly he thought of something: it seems that the meat fields in the inner city and the meat fields over the Wei family will have a bumper harvest this year.
Ninth-grade monster meat is being used as a resource and is being supplied crazily to those new disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, helping them break through to ninth-grade as soon as possible and achieve perfection.
He thought and fell silent.
The landlady held the thermos and leaned against him, slowly closing her eyes.
At night.
One dragon and two phoenixes, after a bit of entanglement, they are tender and considerate in the quilt, and their tenderness is still there.
The moonlight came in through the window, and in the pitch-black gloom, only the vague outlines of tables and chairs could be seen in the house. The cold wind howling outside the window reminded one of the snowy and icy sky, which made the warm spring scenery in the Yuanyang embroidered quilt even more apparent.
Li Yuan looked at Yan Yu lying on his right arm, and then at Xue Ning on his left arm.
Madam Yan is petite and cute, the landlady is tall and charming, but he is also very strong.
Food, sex, and sex are just a few things in this mortal world.
Li Yuan went left for a while and right for a while.
When the two women were not together, they could only talk to Li Yuan, but when they were there, they allowed Li Yuan to mess around, but did not talk to him, but chatted in the distance.
"Sister Xue, am I right? This good person is amazing."
"Hehe, it was really hard for my sister to be alone in the past."
"Sister Xue, what are you going to eat tomorrow morning?"
"How can you get up?"
Li Yuan heard that the two women were completely ignoring him and chatting happily. He even wanted to penetrate them several times, but the two women refused to talk to him.
Li Yuan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Sister Yan, Sister Xue, I have broken through the seventh level."
Suddenly, the two women became quiet.
Li Yuan added: "Choose a good and auspicious day and let's arrange a wedding banquet. When the time comes, Mr. Li will host it for us."
The two girls suddenly became happy
Lady Yan said happily: "Okay, okay!"
The landlady said happily: "I remember, it will be an auspicious day in ten days."
But then, the landlady reacted again and said: "Breaking through the seventh level?"
Yan Yu knew it and was laughing beside him.
Seeing her bright and moving smile, the landlady was a little dazed, and repeated: "Seventh grade?"
Li Yuan leaned into her ear and said, "Maybe I am already one of the strongest in Shanbao County."
The reason why he said "maybe" was not because he saw someone stronger than him. After all, Iron Kill was still more than a hundred years behind in overall strength. But he always felt that there might be some hidden masters in every place.
At first, he hid it from the landlady, but as they got along with each other, they became more and more close to each other, and the wedding was about to be officially held, so he decided not to hide it.
But the landlady was already stunned.
Her pretty face was full of shock, and she hesitated: "What about the black-faced elder?"
Li Yuan thought of the black-faced elder's comprehensive strength of "165~185" and said: "One on one, I should kill him with just one blow."
"Really?" The boss's wife breathed quickly and her voice trembled.
Madam Yan reached over Li Yuan's chest, rubbed the landlady's stiff face, and said with a smile: "Look at this surprised little look, you don't see it often."
The landlady said coquettishly: "Sister Yan, sir, is he telling the truth?"
Madam Yan said: "Of course it is true, my husband is very powerful. However, you can't tell anyone about it, but you can only make decisions as if your husband has just broken through the eighth level."
When the landlady heard this, her beautiful eyes showed a thoughtful look, and she immediately understood. She took a deep breath, leaned on Li Yuan, and said, "Mr. sir, I feel safe following you."
Li Yuan ruffled her hair.
At this time, Yan Yucai asked: "How big will the wedding banquet be?"
Li Yuandao: "What do you think?"
"Just" the landlady was still thinking.
Lady Yan said, "Mr. Sir, why don't you keep it simple?"
Li Yuandao: "I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."
Lady Yan said with a straightforward smile: "We are still afraid that you will lose face."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Face is not sustained by banquets. Where is Sister Xue?"
The landlady thought about the starving people she saw. If the wedding banquet was extravagant, she would feel uncomfortable. With the money, it would be better to open a porridge shop. She had already discussed this with Yan Yu.
At this time, she also said softly: "I am also afraid of losing face.
In fact, Sister Yan and I are both husband-in-law, so it doesn’t matter whether the wedding banquet is held or not. "
Early the next morning, Li Yuan went directly to the Yamen to get the "right to brew wine".
The reason why it goes so smoothly is because he is now in charge, and together with Zhao Chunxin, he controls Yinxi Mingshi, Wupu, and Yamen.
When Wu Lian was here before, he would have rejected all the restaurants that applied for "brewing rights". After all, there were many "connected households" in Silver Creek, each of whom had their own interests, and Wu Lian would not touch them. These.
As soon as the "right to brew wine" came out, Hengwu Restaurant posted a notice, and the surrounding area was noisy.
Soon, Yi Chan Pavilion learned the news.
In the restaurant, it looked silent, but behind the restaurant there was already a commotion.
A steward hurried up to the attic and called "Master" several times in front of a private room. He didn't push the door in until there was a reply from inside the room.
In the room, a middle-aged man in fine clothes and a round hat was drinking with guests at the table.
This man is Zhu Tongji, the younger brother of the black-faced elder.
When Zhu Tongji saw the steward arriving, he frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
The steward hurriedly whispered: "Sir, Hengwu Restaurant has become a regular restaurant."
Zhu Tongji frowned deeply and said, "Look again."
The steward then resigned in a hurry.
A few days later.
In front of Hengwu Restaurant.
The waiter who is a part-time wine doctor shouted in front of the door: "There is new wine at Hengwu Restaurant~~~
Freshly brewed snow fermented grains, limited in season~~~
One cup of drunkenness, one cup of wine, come and try it~~~"
It was noon at this time, and after shouting for a long time, a customer soon asked about the price.
Dr. Jiu smiled and said: "A cup of snow fermented grains is two big coins; a pot of snow fermented grains is one tael of silver."
"Why is it so expensive? Normally, a pot only costs three coins, right?"
"Snow fermented grains are newly launched today. Guests can taste half a cup first. If they like it and think it's worth it, they can buy it."
"Then let me try."
In the restaurant, many people looked at the guest.
The guest raised his glass, looked at the small amount of clear and mellow wine in the glass, and said, "It's just this little bit, I'm afraid it won't even taste in your mouth."
Dr. Jiu smiled and said, "Guest, please try it."
The guest grabbed the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said, "It's very mellow, and the taste is okay, but..."
Suddenly, he stopped talking, his cheeks turned red, and his body started to tremble.
The distilled liquor mixed with snow and water in winter, in addition to the natural taste of heaven and earth, also has the rich aroma of spirits.
It feels like frost in the mouth, and there is no feeling at all. But after entering the throat, the frost gradually disappears. When it enters the abdomen, all that is left is the flaming knife.
This knife directly stirs the internal organs, making people who are used to drinking low-alcohol water and wine suddenly feel like they are on top, which is very novel and very enjoyable.
"Okay, what a great drink!!" The guest seemed to have forgotten his previous arrogance, shook his head and took out a couple of silver coins from his arms, and said, "I am also a regular customer of yours, can it be cheaper?"
Dr. Jiu smiled and said: "There are only a few snows in winter. New snow makes new wine. The quantity is limited. One tael of silver for a pot of wine is not expensive."
"Okay, let's have a pot!" The guest didn't say much, just ordered a pot, ordered two plates of wine and food, and then started eating.
In front of Hengwu Restaurant, more and more people came.
People who come in are attracted by the reputation, but people who leave are drunk.
Those men who kept saying that they could drink several jars of water and wine without pouring it out, their cheeks turned red after just one flask here, they started to giggle, and cursed "good wine, good wine", and were helped out of the store.
In the evening, there was still an endless stream of people coming.
On this day, Hengwu Restaurant didn't close until very late.
The landlady crossed her long legs, and her little feet wearing embroidered shoes were curled up under the table. She was flipping through today's account books with her fingers. With a smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Li Yuan and said happily: "Mr., this batch is one hundred pounds." We have sold 90 kilograms of snow fermented grains and earned 180 taels. After deducting the cost, we made a net profit of more than 150 taels.
This is only the first day, the first day.
The money comes too easily.
This is a fermented grain used to test the waters. If we make high-end wine in the future, we will have to make a lot more money. "
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Trouble will come tomorrow."
The landlady asked: "What should we do?"
Li Yuandao: "I will come for literature, and Lao Zhou for martial arts will come. I want others to know that Lao Zhou is from my sect."
"Well," the landlady said, knowing what her man meant, "does my husband's school turn out to be very big?"
"It's not big. Master Li, Lao Zhou and me should be the only ones left." Li Yuandao.
The landlady was stunned for a moment, "Well, this can't be a protective umbrella."
Li Yuandao: "I didn't say it, you don't know, right?"
The landlady nodded.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "You don't know, will others know? They will only think that my master is supporting me.
There was Master Li in my sect before, and now there is an eighth-grade expert. Who knew that there were only so many people in my sect? "
Boss lady:
Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "In a few days, we will set up two more porridge shops. The porridge shops are divided into two lanes, one side is normal, and the other side is for women, children and the elderly.
I have also been through hardships and know that life is difficult.
Now that I have some ability, I should help those who are still suffering.
If there are too many, I can’t help, so I’ll just help what I can. "
"Okay, in a few days, I will ask someone to open two more at the entrance of the square." The landlady looked at her man happily and said softly, "It's late at night, husband. I can't go back to the inner city today, so I'm in the restaurant. Let’s spend the night here.”
"Um"
After a while, the candle was blown out and a slight creaking sound came from the bed.
