Chapter 82 80 Snow Fermentation

Chapter 82 80. Snowy Fermentation

At this time, in the private room of Hengwu Restaurant, Li Yuan was a little distressed.

He brought Zhou Jia to meet the servants, but Zhou Jia refused to sit down. No matter what he said, Zhou Jia just stood at the door respectfully and didn't even enter.

"Old Zhou, you are bored now?

I told you to follow me, I asked you to come in and sit down and eat a few bites of food, what's wrong with that?"

"Come on, I'll get you a pen and paper, you say"

"What do you mean servants don't sit at the same table with their masters? I don't have such rules here, come and sit down and eat.

It's snowing, old ginger and red dates boiled rice wine, it's so exciting, this rice wine is brought by foreign caravans, it's gone after drinking."

"Well, if you don't like drinking, come and have some tea and something to eat."

"Why don't you move?"

Li Yuan was talking dryly, Zhou Jia just lowered his head, his palm pressed on the slender knife handle, quietly standing in the shadow beside the door, his eyes dull and a kind of absent-minded feeling of staring at something, as if immersed in his own world or a memory, unable to extricate himself.

As he was talking, the sound of "da da da" footsteps came from the stairs.

In a blink of an eye, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the private room illuminated the appearance of the person coming.

This is a charming lady with delicate features, a melon-shaped face and fox eyes, a wide-sleeved scarlet fur coat wrapped around her graceful body, fur wrapped around her snow-white neck, and a dignified, calm and pleasing curve at the corner of her lips. When she moves her hands and feet, she is charming and charming, making men with weak aura feel that she is out of reach.

"Husband." The proprietress smiled, as if she was shining, and then walked quickly to Li Yuan's side, and looked at Zhou Jia who was shrinking in the dark with him, and then said politely, "This is Mr. Zhou, right?

I was just at the teahouse, and I heard your name when I first came here.

Don't be shy, come to this building, and take charge of this place."

Zhou Jia didn't speak.

The proprietress smiled dignifiedly and said, "My man doesn't usually drink much, but he asked someone to bring rice wine and old ginger and boiled a pot.

Mr. Zhou, don't spoil my man's mood. Come in and drink some wine to drive away the cold."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, at home, even I have to listen to my wife. Come on, come in and sit down."

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 dark, silent and speechless.

Li Yuan sighed and looked at the proprietress again.

The proprietress said politely, "Mr. Zhou, I'll ask Wu Guan to take you to get familiar 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 lady boss then asked someone to call the steward Wu, and then told him to address Zhou Jia as "Mr.", and that Zhou Jia would be in charge of feeding the horses in the stable, and Zhou Jia's salary would be paid according to the steward.

Steward Wu was amazed, and glanced at the knife on Zhou Jia's waist, not knowing whether 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 an eighth-rank.

Also, he is from my school, remember to respect him."

Steward Wu staggered, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he immediately became respectful.

After everyone left, the proprietress took Li Yuan's arm and came to the private room, asking, "Sir, is this Eighth Rank from Master Li's side?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Sister Xue, this is indeed someone from my school. He has a painful past and now just wants to follow me. I asked him to come to the restaurant to help look after the building."

The proprietress said, "The stable is connected to the winery, so he can look after both at the same time."

Li Yuan said, "Don't let him do the inspection work, send two waiters to him, but if he doesn't want to do it, don't force him.

By the way, Are all the brewing equipment and tanks in the winery ready? "

"Yes, they are all ready."

"Have you made the distillation equipment I mentioned?"

"We have made and tried it. We can really make stronger wine!"

"Yes, remember that the brewer needs to be patient and must use his confidants. 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 control of "fire", he also heard about it when he was drinking at a banquet before crossing.

He told the proprietress about "distilled wine". After the secret experiment was successful, he patiently waited for the opportunity.

Now that he has broken through the seventh grade and has Zhoujia, the time has come.

"Well, don't worry, husband, I have arranged it."

"In that case, tomorrow, I will approve the brewing rights of this store and put it on record."

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Will there be trouble at Yichan Pavilion?"

"It doesn't matter. The black-faced elder is also a decent man. He won't do it himself, right?" Li Yuan smiled, "As for the other eighth-grade and ninth-grade masters, if they can make waves in Yinxi, I will lose."

He was full of confidence.

Grandmaster-level tracking, breath-finding skills, and the strongest "370" comprehensive strength are not so great that they dare not even ask for the "brewing rights", right?

An eighth-grade genius in the inner sect of the Blood Knife Sect, plus the background of the small circle of the master sect, can't he make money from the wine?

He knows that the previous generation of Yanyue Sect was only Li Ye and Zhou Jia, do others know?

Hengwu Restaurant should also change from a foot shop to a regular store that can provide wine.

A regular store brews wine, which can make more money, and 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: "Life is getting more and more difficult 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."

"The harvest is bad again this year. 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've had several contacts with people from the caravan, and they said," the landlady's beautiful eyes flashed with sadness, "Famine is happening everywhere. It happened last year, and it's happening again 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 seemed that the meat fields in the inner city and the meat fields over the Wei family had a bumper harvest this year.

Ninth-grade monster meat is being used as a resource and is being supplied crazily to the new disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, helping them break through the 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 dark 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 more and 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 fortunately he is also physically 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 we will 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 just kill him with one knife."

"Really?" The boss's wife breathed quickly and her voice trembled.

Mrs. Yan put her soft skin on 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 that 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."

Mrs. 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 an extravagant affair, she would feel uncomfortable. With all the money, it would be better to open a porridge shop. In fact, 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 response 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 in Hengwu Restaurant~~~

Freshly brewed snow fermented grains, limited in season~~~

One cup of drunkenness, one cup of wine, come and have a taste~~~"

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 again."

"Then I'll 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 not only has a natural taste of heaven and earth, but also has a strong 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 nice drink!!" The guest seemed to have forgotten his previous arrogance, shook his head and took out a tael of silver from his arms, and then 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.

Those who enter come here because of its reputation, but those who leave are drunk.

Those men who keep saying that they can't pour water and wine even after drinking several jars of water and wine, their cheeks turn red after just one pot here, they start to giggle, and curse "good wine, good wine", and are 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 proprietress 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 100 kilograms." 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.

This 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 would have known that there are only so many people in our 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'll have someone open two more in Fangkou." The proprietress looked at her husband with joy, and said softly, "It's late, husband, you can't go back to the inner city today, so just spend the night in the restaurant."

"Yeah"

After a while, the candle was blown out, and a slight creaking sound came from the bed.
