Chapter 77 76. On the job

In the Blood Blade Sect, Li Yuan might be just an inconspicuous inspector, and the weakest ninth-rank inspector.

But in Yinxifang, he is truly the boss.

After entering the square, the taxation, the martial arts shop, and the management of the public security in Ming City were taken care of by his subordinates. He came directly to the entrance of Yinxifang in a black robe with white edges on the sleeves.

This kind of clothing is the appearance of the inner disciples of the Blood Blade Sect. People who don't know the goods can't tell the difference and just think it's an ordinary Blood Blade Sect disciple, while those who know the goods hold their breath and breathe slowly, respectfully, and don't even dare to straighten their backs.

Li Yuan glanced around and said to the people behind him in a gentle voice: "Go and get busy. Remember to eat after you're done."

The outer disciples and servants said one after another: "Yes, Master Li."

Then they dispersed.

Li Yuan strode directly to the Hengwu Restaurant.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the whole building was silent as if a silencer had been pressed.

Li Yuan glanced at the guests who were drinking and eating, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's almost time for dinner, I'll come and have a meal too."

There were many knowledgeable guests among the group of guests, and those who didn't know the goods also knew the "Little Master Li" who had fought in the Wangxi Tower Arena before. As for those who knew nothing, they were also infected by the atmosphere and dared not speak anymore.

At this time, everyone stopped eating and stood up one after another until Li Yuan was taken upstairs by the waiter, and then they sat down and talked a lot.

"Why did Master Li come to the restaurant to eat today?"

"You don't know?"

"I really don't know. Please teach me."

"Well, let me tell you, the Blood Blade Sect has set up an inspector, and from now on, Master Li and another master will be in charge of Yinxifang."

"No, isn't there a government?"

"Hey, brother, where are you from? How come you don't know anything?"

After Li Yuan came to the third floor of the restaurant, he was taken to a private room with a good view by the waiter. There was no tall building in front of him, and he could overlook the busy traffic.

"Master Li, the boss's wife will be here soon." The waiter stood respectfully on one side.

Li Yuan smiled gently and nodded, staring at the scenery outside, and suddenly said, "Give me a pot of wine."

The waiter hurriedly said, "We have sweet rice wine, pure rice wine, and corn wine. Which one do you want, Mr. Li?"

Li Yuan said, "How much is it?"

The waiter hurriedly said, "You can order whatever you want."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I just want to know the price."

The waiter then said, "The price of grain is very expensive now, so the price of wine is not cheap either. A pot of sweet rice wine costs three coins, pure rice wine also costs three coins, and corn wine costs four coins because some medicine is added."

Li Yuan thought about it, this is really not cheap, but the price of rice is there, so the price of wine is not outrageous.

About half a year ago, he brought a jar of five kilograms of rice wine to visit Cai Ze, didn't he also spend fifteen coins? Calculated, the price has not fluctuated much.

As he was talking, he heard the door being pushed open, and a tall and elegant beautiful woman appeared in front of the door.

"Xiao Liuzi, you go down first. Bring us a portion of each of the special dishes in the building."

"Yes, Madam Boss." The waiter was hunched over and was about to go down when he heard Li Yuan calling him "Xiao Liuzi".

When the waiter heard Master Li calling him "Xiao Liuzi", he immediately became energetic and said hurriedly, "Master, you say."

Li Yuan said, "It's a waste not to use all the special dishes.

Two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable. The soup should be vegetarian, and then a pot of pure rice wine will be enough."

Madam Boss said lightly, "Listen to Master Li."

The waiter responded, hurriedly retreated, and quietly closed the door, with a happy face.

People outside may not know it now, but everyone in the building knows the relationship between Master Li and the Madam Boss.

In other words, there is a big umbrella of protection over the Hengwu Restaurant.

Who is not happy working in the building?

The room became quiet, and the noise in the restaurant seemed to be separated from the outside.

The proprietress sat next to him with a pretty face and said softly, "You come here on your first day in office, is it okay?"

Li Yuan said, "I don't have to do specific things, just look after various places. If there is a big problem, I will go to solve it. At other times, it will not affect my cultivation."

"Yeah," the proprietress responded softly, and then said, "You asked me to train people from beggars, but I think they are unreliable, unless we arrange people to be beggars, get along with them, and then rule them, then it is reliable."

Li Yuan said, "Do you have such people?"

The proprietress said, "There are some loyal servants, but most of them have married. If I ask, they will go, but they are unwilling in their hearts."

Li Yuan said, "Then I will think about it again."

After a while, the wine and food were served.

A plate of roasted pork with bamboo shoots, a plate of dried tofu and chrysanthemum, a bowl of green vegetable and shredded pork soup, and a pot of pure rice wine.

Li Yuan didn't hesitate and started eating. He asked as he ate, "Did you get the wine from outside?"

The lady boss said, "Yes, only a regular store like Yichan Pavilion in Yinxi can make wine. Although our Hengwu Restaurant is not small, it is just a foot shop. We can't make wine. We can only purchase wine, but we can only get some ordinary wine."

"Yican Pavilion"

Li Yuan remembered that he spent two taels of silver to buy breakfast in this pavilion, and he didn't know who was behind it.

"I know." He said lightly.

The lady boss suddenly realized something and said worriedly: "My husband, please don't touch the Yichan Pavilion now. We have a lot of time. Let's wait for you to become more powerful in a few years."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I know my limits."

The lady boss laughed and responded. She said this because she was afraid that her husband would suddenly get too excited and do something stupid like "I am the best in the world."

At this time, Li Yuan glanced out the window. People were coming and going in his eyes. Although it was not the best scenery in Yinxi, it was wide enough.

The lady boss poured him a glass of wine, but she didn't ask him questions annoyingly. Only after a long while did she say worriedly: "I heard that there are two inspectors, and this Yinxifang is also divided into two halves. I wonder about your other senior brother."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Not a senior brother, but a senior sister."

"Senior sister?" The lady boss was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened.

Li Yuan smiled.

Originally, the other person in Yinxifang was a senior brother, but Zhao Chunxin suddenly changed his position with that senior brother, so the other inspector of Yinxi became Zhao Chunxin.

This shows that Zhao Chunxin is one of the best among the inner disciples, and he is probably second only to Fang Jianlong.

After a while, Li Yuan had enough food and wine, so he asked Hengwu Restaurant to cook two good dishes and prepare a pot of good wine, and then he put the food in a lunch box and took it on the black-sailed boat to the black market.

After a while, he arrived at the main gate of the city, strode up to the nameless pavilion, bowed respectfully and called out "Teacher", then smiled and said: "This is made in my wife's restaurant, teacher, please try it?"

Master Li smiled and said: "You kid, are you running around on your first day in office?"

Li Yuan also smiled and said: "My Yinxi has no problems, unlike the teacher's side, which needs to be guarded all the time."

Master Li stood up, glanced at his disciples, and stretched out his hand and said: "Come, let the teacher try it."

Li Yuan put the lunch box aside on the table and took out the two dishes and wine inside.

Master Li picked up two chopsticks of food and ate them with slurp, enjoying the taste. But when he tasted the wine, his brows frowned, but he still swallowed it. Seeing that Li Yuan wanted to speak, he waved his hand and said, "You kid, the food is good, but this wine has a story."

As he said that, he raised his hand again and said, "Don't say it, let me guess."

Master Li closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I understand, throwing a stone to ask the way, it's smart enough.

Then I'll tell you straight, the owner of Yichan Pavilion is the younger brother of the black-faced elder."

Black-faced elder?

Li Yuan thought of the elder and said, "Student knows."

Master Li said, "You came here to see what new goods there are, right?"

"Student really can't hide anything from the teacher." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Master Li pulled out a thin booklet from under his buttocks, threw it out and said, "Take it and read it yourself. This is the new goods that have arrived recently."

Li Yuan took it and flipped through it, and then asked casually, "Teacher, there have been no more disappearances in the black market, right?"

"No." Master Li ate heartily, and then said, "Don't think too much, kid."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "When you think of such a scary and mysterious thing, can you not think too much?"

Master Li lowered his voice and smiled, "You can't run away, what are you afraid of?"
