Chapter 84 82 Establishing Authority (Large Chapter)

Chapter 84 82. Establishing prestige (big chapter)

Another month has passed in a blink of an eye.

With the previous successful experience, Hengwu Restaurant expanded production to a certain extent on the basis of maintaining the original state for the second brewing, and the result was still selling well.

The third time, Hengwu Restaurant tried to add new fruit wines and was successful again.

Suddenly, everyone in the restaurant had confidence.

So the winery began to expand and prepared to produce in larger quantities during the fourth brewing.

Winter passed and it was early March.

The "snow wine" brewed with ice and snow was gone.

But the ice and snow thawed, and the mountain springs were clear, mixed with grass, flowers and the unique sweetness of the mountains.

So, this became the raw material and gimmick for brewing.

At Li Yuan's suggestion, the new wine was divided into three types according to the grade of the wine.

The one with the lowest alcohol content was called Chunshui Niang, and the price was only six coins per pot.

The one with a slightly higher alcohol content and a fruity taste is called Spring Brew, which costs one tael of silver per pot.

The one with the highest alcohol content is called Spring Dream Brew, which costs two taels of silver per pot, and is limited in quantity.

The signboard displayed to the outside world is called: Three Spring Wine.

Li Yuan also studied in a certain wine department before crossing over, so he used it in his own restaurant. This time, the gimmick was directly pulled to the maximum.

People who drink Spring Dream Brew obviously have no shortage of silver, and ordinary people can also drink Spring Water Brew.

Time flies, and another half a month has passed in a flash.

This time, the expanded Hengwu Restaurant Distillery produced a full 800 kilograms of wine.

The wine jars were sealed with mud, piled up, and filled the basement of Hengwu Restaurant.

And the next day, the wine doctor started shouting outside.

"Drink Sanchun wine in March~~

Sanchun wine! Spring water, spring, spring dream~~

There is always one suitable for you~~

Come and taste it~~"

The shouts quickly attracted passers-by.

After all, the reputation of Hengwu Restaurant's wine has been spread, and many people didn't drink it before because the quantity was not enough. Naturally, they became interested and wanted to drink it often.

After a while, many guests came to Hengwu Restaurant.

There are many rich people in Yinxifang, and it is okay to order a pot of wine and eat some dishes occasionally.

On the roof of the attic, the proprietress's face was full of joy. She held the account book and abacus in her hands and said to the man beside her happily: "Husband, if all this batch of wine is sold, it will be a net profit of more than 1,600 taels of silver.

Besides, the wine has also promoted the business in the building. Recently, the roasted pig with bamboo shoots, the secret pickled meat, and the fried peanuts are all selling very well. Some people also like to eat wild boar pig's trotters.

When we become more famous, other restaurants in the surrounding area will ask us to buy wine. At that time, the winery can be expanded again."

Li Yuan said: "We need to recruit more guards. I will hide behind the house to select people."

"Well, then let's do it in three days. I will prepare the notice first and post it when the time comes," the proprietress thought.

When the Hengwu Restaurant was bustling, some noises came from not far away.

But two men with physiques that were very different from passers-by were walking on the street.

From the looks of it, these two people are the new worshipers of the Blood Knife Sect, or wild worshipers.

After all, these worshippers are completely different from the previous batch of Master Li.

The latter can be entrusted with important tasks, while the former, as everyone knows, are worshippers who take resources, take advantage, and then help the Sun family consume.

At this point, in fact, both the Blood Knife Sect and the Sun family feel the trouble of these worshippers, but no one can tear their faces with these worshippers. After all, if the other party is using them, they have to use them.

At this time, among the two people walking,

the one on the left is called Chang Kui. He is eight feet tall, with sharp eyes, fierce face, some body odor, and long sweat hair on the back of his hands. The inner body armor can be vaguely seen in the collar, and a curved knife for easy slashing is hung on his waist.

Before becoming a wild worshiper of the Blood Blade Sect, Chang Kui was a bandit leader. He often led his men to rob the county, but unfortunately he provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, so he abandoned the other bandits, fled overnight, and then hid his identity. After twists and turns, he came to the vicinity of Shanbao County. He heard that the Blood Blade Sect and the Sun family were recruiting worshipers, so he ran over.

As an eighth-grade perfect swordsman, he was hired after a small trial. Today, he just received some monster meat and silver and was about to go to the most chaotic Datongfang.

The man on the right is called Ruan Afei. He is a thin man with eyes that always roll. Before coming to Shanbao County, he had a nickname called "Ten Steps to Insert a Flower". He was a martial artist with excellent body skills, but unfortunately, the thing he did most was "stealing".

Not only did he steal money, he also picked flowers; not only did he pick flowers, he also forced them to bloom. However, no one had ever seen his appearance, so naturally they couldn't connect him with "Ten Steps to Insert a Flower".

He is the same as Chang Kui, and they are from the same batch.

Of course, both of them are aliases for the public.

At this time, the two of them were walking together. Since they came here together, they had a rough estimate of each other's strength.

At this time, Ruan Afei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chang, are you really going to work for the Blood Knife Sect?"

Chang Kui chuckled and said coldly, "What about you?"

Ruan Afei rolled his eyes and said, "Who is stupid?"

"But we all have to go to Datongfang now."

"Why not... take some benefits and leave Shanbao County directly. Can the Blood Knife Sect still chase us?"

"How to take?"

"Go to Yinxi to take it."

"You want to rob? You can't succeed. As long as you make a louder noise, you will be discovered by the Blood Knife Sect immediately. By then, we will be unable to fly.

And I haven't even explored it at all, so how can I be robbed? Do you know where the money is? Do you know what level of protection the other party has? Do you know where to enter and where to retreat?

I tell you, robbery is not that easy! "

"No need to rob, no need to rob, I have a good idea that can make us a fortune."

"Let's talk and listen. If it's a good idea, let's cooperate."

Ruan Afei leaned close to Chang Kui's ear and whispered a few words. The latter's sharp pupils gradually flashed with light and a hint of smile.

The sky is getting dark, and the clouds are rolling in darkly.

Yinxi Fang can be said to be the most stable and affluent village in Shanbao County, so even if there is a famine outside, it is still noisy and crowded.

And Hengwu Restaurant is one of the busiest places because of the Sanchun wine.

Time passed minute by minute.

The drinkers gradually disappeared.

At midnight, when the last drinker left, the waiter closed the door.

Behind the restaurant, a middle-aged man with a fluffy beard stretched, yawned, and walked out of the restaurant.

He is one of the people who make wine in the winery, and he is also a servant brought by Hengwu Restaurant from Lianglongshan. His name is Lin Silang.

Lin Silang saw the man sitting on the stable table in the distance and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, you're not asleep yet."

Zhou Jia didn't seem to see him, he just looked into the distance quietly, his eyes changing, as if he was immersed in memories or in some kind of thinking.

Lin Silang didn't expect Zhou Jia to answer. He turned around and locked the door, then put the lock into the restaurant. When he came out again, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I'm going back."

This time, Zhou Jia seemed to notice someone talking to him, so he turned his head and nodded slightly.

Lin Silang also left with a smile.

Although he was tired, his heart was full.

After seeing the landlady find a new home, the servants were also happy.

I didn't think much about it at first, but this young man is so capable. The landlady followed him, and everyone could see the happiness and satisfaction on her face.

And this uncle is obviously a figure. Now in Yinxi, Hengwu Restaurant can be said to be stable and standing firm.

The lives of these servants are getting better and better. They are full of hope and energy for the future.

The landlady asked him to do the work in the wine shop, which in itself was a great trust. His wife also told him to do it well and not to betray the trust of his uncle and the landlady.

Lin Silang clenched his fists, of course he would do it well!

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace again. He had to go home and rest quickly so that he could come to the winery early tomorrow morning and try to make the next batch of wine as early as possible.

As he passed an alley, a big hairy hand suddenly poked out from the shadows like lightning, quickly covered his mouth, pulled him violently, and roughly dragged him into the darkness.

At the same time, a smell of medicine came to Lin Silang's nose, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

The next day, early.

Li Yuanping followed the landlady's carriage to Hengwu Restaurant.

Yichange was more knowledgeable than he thought, which also avoided a lot of trouble.

And these days, his life has begun to become regular again:

Practice sword skills, look at the sixth-level "tangible but godless" life catalog in "Tu Po Kung", go shopping in the black market to see if there are suitable targets, think about how to build power and use power to open up channels, etc. wait.

Today, Li Yuan plans to go shopping in the black market. Don't think about the techniques that contain the sixth-grade life catalog, but you can still consider the monsters and skills.

But when he and the proprietress arrived at the restaurant, a shopkeeper ran up from behind the counter and said softly: "Master Li, proprietress, Lin Silang disappeared last night, and his mother-in-law came to find him. He is crying."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and quickly followed the shopkeeper to the backyard. They saw a woman with long eyebrows and big eyes wearing a wide cloth coat crying. When they saw someone walking in, the woman glanced at them and then hurried over. , said: "Little Mr. Li, the boss lady. My guy didn't come back last night. Did something happen to him? Something is going to happen to him. What should I do?"

The landlady immediately stepped forward to comfort the woman.

Li Yuan glanced at Zhou Jia, who was not far away. Zhou Jia shook his head at him, indicating that the incident did not happen here.

Li Yuan glanced around.

The winery made of bricks and stones was already in operation in the dim light of the morning. Although the door was closed tightly, there were still wisps of mixed smells of rice and distiller's yeast wafting from the cracks in the door.

These smells are so strong that they seem to mask all other smells.

Li Yuan pushed the door open and entered.

The brewers who were working in the brewery hurriedly saluted. These brewers were all wearing thick work clothes.

Li Yuan glanced at the only thick work clothes hanging on the wall and said, "Is this Lin Silang's?"

"Little Master Li, these clothes belong to Lin Silang." The brewer next to him hurriedly replied.

Li Yuan nodded, organized the brewers who were about to run over, and said, "You are busy with your business."

After that, he silently used the breath-seeking technique.

Suddenly, the breath in the air became layered.

The scents containing different flavors can be described as distinct, and they clearly appear in Li Yuan's nose. There is the strong smell of rice, the residual aroma of spirits, the damp wood smell of wooden barrels, and the faint smoke of charcoal fire. It tastes earthy and sweet.

Various smells form threads like musical scores, each with its own special smell.

Li Yuan stood among these smells, distinguishing them carefully, and soon he ingested the smell of Lin Silang's clothes.

The breath dispersed out of the door, but it stopped not long after.

Unless Li Yuan is close to Lin Silang, it will be difficult to smell this smell again.

He quickly grabbed Lin Silang's work clothes and walked out of the wine shop, and then said: "Sister Xue, I will go to the inner city and bring Xiao Hei out."

"Old Wu, go and tell the Blood Knife Sect disciples who are out patrolling the streets that someone is missing in the Hengwu Restaurant.

This disappearance is a sign of contempt for our security in Silver Creek! Ask them to wait for me in front of the building. "

Wu Guanshi hurriedly responded.

This is indeed the case. If even the people in Li Yuan Restaurant are missing, doesn't it mean that Yinxifang is no longer safe?

Li Yuan looked at his retreating figure, then looked at the woman from Lin Silang's family, and said, "Sister, don't be impatient. Let's have some tea in the building."

The woman cried and thanked her repeatedly.

The landlady said with concern: "Mr., be careful."

Li Yuan looked around and said, "Old Zhou, come with me."

Zhou Jia had already stood up and was ready to go. At this moment, he lowered his head, lowered his eyes, held a knife, and followed Li Yuan.

Li Yuan quickly returned to the carriage.

If he can use force to overwhelm others, he doesn't want to do it himself

He can feel safe only when he is protected by a group of friendly troops who can be killed by him instantly.

This time, the other party targeted Lin Silang, most likely for the secret of brewing in the winery.

In this case, no matter who it is this time, they have to establish their authority, otherwise others will think that he, Li Yuan, is easy to bully, and that Hengwu Restaurant is easy to bully. It will be difficult for the winery to do business in the future.

The carriage came and went, and it didn't take long.

After a while, on the broad street of Yinxi, Li Yuan was walking on the road with a sword and an animal horn bow on his back, followed by Zhou Jia, followed by many outer disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, Qian Daye in it.

In front of everyone, a tall black mastiff was sniffing and wandering around.

This black rock demon mastiff has already absorbed Lin Silang's aura and is now looking for it.

But if you are in the deep mountains and old forests, the smell is easy to identify, but it is extremely difficult in the busy city.

The Black Rock Demon Mastiff walked up and down, then stopped after a while, turned around and made a "wuwu" sound to Li Yuan, with a sense of frustration in his voice.

Li Yuan snorted, and the demon mastiff understood, and turned to another alley to look for it.

Although the atmosphere in the downtown area is very chaotic and cannot be distinguished at all, if you get close, it is still possible.

The people behind Li Yuan, even Zhou Jia, were a little stunned when they saw the cuteness of this monster.

When had they ever seen a monster be so well-behaved?

I'm afraid it would only be like this unless you were raised from a young age, right?

Everyone walked away for a while, and Li Yuan's expression became slightly condensed.

It seems that this is not the way to go.

But he couldn't blame Xiao Hei, because he couldn't find it even with his "breath-seeking technique".

Li Yuan thought briefly and glanced at the panel:

[Name: Li Yuan]

[Added points: 417 points]

[Skill: Grandmaster Breath Seeking Technique (1/160)]

Since you can't find it, fill it up.

He clicked "++" directly on "Grandmaster Breath Seeking Technique (1/160)".

In an instant, 159 points were cast, and a whole new memory emerged in his mind.

He is able to skillfully hide his body, quickly track targets without being discovered, and possesses the sensitivity of a ninth-grade monster, especially his sensitivity to breath to a level that ordinary people cannot understand.

But this is not enough. He hopes that he can pursue his goal with a little breath. This is his lifelong hope. He practiced repeatedly, fought in practice, had an epiphany, and then had to meet with experts for guidance. After years of repeated training, he finally integrated everything.

On this day, he was walking in the busy city, and all the smells were still so clear and distinct before his eyes. Even with the smell of cooking cakes, he could distinguish the difference between the two families.

Not only that, this time, there are more differences.

Not only can he detect aura, he can also block it.

After he blocked out all irrelevant breaths, the breath he hoped to pursue became extremely clear, just like searching for a sound in the silent night, like looking for a light in the dark night.

Li Yuan paused, and everyone followed suit.

But when Li Yuan opened his eyes again, he blocked all auras and only retained the search for Lin Silang's aura.

At this time, the demon mastiff came to a fork in the road again, looking left and right, a little confused.

Li Yuan sniffed lightly, and there was a very faint smell coming from under the stone not far to the left.

He lowered his body, touched the demon mastiff's head, pushed the left side with his palm, and said at the same time: "Xiao Hei, don't be nervous, smell it again."

The little black head was forced to move to the left naturally.

Li Yuandao: "Left!"

A group of people went to the left.

Xiaohei:? ? ?

After a while, it came to a fork in the road again.

Xiao Hei stood at the edge of Silver Creek blankly, looking at the upstream stream on the left and downstream on the right, obviously losing his target again.

Li Yuan sniffed, and when he got here, his breath became clearer.

Intertwined with Lin Silang's breath were two other breaths, one of which smelled like a woman's perfume, and the other smelled like body odor.

These three breaths went downstream smoothly.

So, he lowered his body again, rubbed the demon mastiff's head, and quietly pushed his palm to the right, saying: "If you are not sure, just smell it more, no rush."

"Oh"

"Right?"

Li Yuan said: "It said it was right!"

Then, Li Yuan led the demon mastiff to the right.

A group of people looked at Master Li in shock.

Master Li was good at taming animals, and this was true. He could actually understand the words of the demon beast.

Little Black:.

So, it was led to the right by Li Yuan again.

The crowd walked intermittently, and after a while, they actually left Yinxifang and came to the wild.

In the wild, the smell became easier to identify.

The demon mastiff led the way happily in front, and after a while, they came to a dilapidated abandoned fishing house by the river.

The demon mastiff stopped, looked at the fishing house, and shook its big tail.

Obviously, the target was in this fishing house.

Li Yuan also confirmed that Lin Silang and the other two were there.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and met the sight of a figure hiding behind a tree not far away.

It was a thin man with agile eyes. The smell of women's perfume came from him, and the words "60~64" were floating on his head.

Both sides confirmed each other's identity at a glance.

Li Yuan understood that this man should be a wild worshiper.

Ruan Afei also knew that Master Li had great magical powers and somehow found him.

He did not remind the people in the house, but suddenly turned around and ran away, stepping on the grass with his toes, as if flying on the grass.

Li Yuan said, "Old Zhou."

Zhou Jia suddenly raised his eyes, bent his body, and held the handle of the knife with his right hand, like a hunting leopard, stepping on the mud, riding away, and chasing Ruan Afei who was running away in a few dozen feet.

Li Yuan led the others to slowly approach the wooden house.

In the wooden house, the movement gradually became clear, and then suddenly became quiet.

Then, a 8-foot-tall strong man came out carrying a wounded middle-aged man. Chang Kui glanced at the person coming from the opposite side, and then looked around. He already understood the situation.

He was not surprised that Ruan Afei did not remind him.

Chang Kui raised Lin Silang, and then chuckled hoarsely: "I didn't kill him, leave him here. I will leave Shanbao County immediately, how about it?"

Li Yuan looked sideways to his side. Qian Dazheng looked at the distance vigilantly. Now he has also entered the ninth rank. Although he is not perfect, he can still fight. But when he saw Li Yuan's eyes at this time, he didn't understand what he meant.

But another outer disciple named Yue Ling came closer and whispered, "Little Master Li, this man is Chang Kui, a newly arrived worshiper who has just received a mission to go to Datongfang."

Li Yuan nodded, glanced at the comprehensive value of "62~70" on the other person, and said, "Put him down, I'll count to ten, if you can escape, escape, if you can't, don't blame me."

Chang Kui threw the man forward without saying a word.

"Qian Da."

Li Yuan shouted, and Qian Da ran out to pick up Lin Silang.

Li Yuan bent his bow and put an arrow in one go.

The arrow shot out instantly, and Chang Kui turned around quickly, swung his scimitar, and "ding" sounded, knocking the arrow away.

He was not surprised by this situation.

And many disciples of the Blood Knife Sect beside Li Yuan rushed over with knives.

Because of the reorganization of resources, there are also some people in the early eighth grade, such as Yue Ling, Yu Mao, and Tian Fengbian.

At this time, following Li Yuan is Yue Ling, who is patrolling the streets today. She holds the knife, stares at Chang Kui keenly, and quickly rushes away.

Chang Kui naturally doesn't want to fight, so he continues to run.

Li Yuan shoots another arrow.

This arrow, Chang Kui has nowhere to hide, so he has to continue to block.

He was surrounded as soon as he slowed down.

The disciples of the Blood Knife Sect rushed forward.

Chang Kui could only rely on the eighth-grade blood shirt to consume, but he felt that this was not a solution. He tried to break through several times, but Li Yuan always interrupted his rhythm of breaking through with arrows in time, making it impossible for him to get away.

On the other side, Qian Da had rescued Lin Silang. He checked and shouted: "Little Master Li, he is fine."

Chang Kui wanted to shout, but he had no chance.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, shouted, and his whole body turned red. His boots stomped the ground fiercely. He was like a mad bear, not caring about anyone. After being hit by a knife, he stared at Li Yuan and rushed forward.

He had seen the situation clearly. If he didn't catch Little Master Li, he would not be able to leave today.

As for after catching him, he would definitely take Little Master Li out of Shanbao County with him, and then kill him to vent his hatred.

Anyway, he would not come back after he left, so he didn't care about the Blood Knife Sect.

Li Yuan looked at the strong man who rushed over, released the animal horn bow, and turned to grab the handle of the saber.

The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was bright.

"Rolling grass and cutting continuously!" Chang Kui screamed, his body suddenly lowered, his palm slapped the ground, and with the force of stomping, he shot out like a sharp arrow, and the scimitar "woohooed" and attacked Li Yuan's lower road directly.

His sword not only did not weaken due to consumption, but became stronger and more fierce under the crisis, and even looked like he was about to break through in actual combat.

Chang Kui's eyes flashed with joy and violence, but then he saw a sword slashing down.

The dazzling sword light was like lightning that pierced the heart of the sky in the strong wind, with unstoppable power and unstoppable speed. It was at his body in an instant, and then tore through Chang Kui's strength with overwhelming force, chopping him into two from head to toe, including his back.

The disciples of the Blood Blade Sect who were chasing behind were all a little slow to react when they saw this bloody scene.

Li Yuan slowly put away his saber, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said: "How stupid! Don't you know that your strength has been almost exhausted? You dare to kill me at the end of your strength?"

After that, he thought about it again, looked at the disciples around him, and asked: "Why should we kill him?"

The disciples were stunned for a moment, and then one of them said: "He provoked the order of the Blood Blade Sect and destroyed the public security of Yinxi. He..."

Li Yuan looked at Qian Da.

Qian Da agreed and said: "He arrested people and punished us without restraint. After being discovered, he directly attacked us with the intention of killing us! If it weren't for the superb swordsmanship of Master Li, he might have succeeded!"

Li Yuan added: "He was supposed to go to Datongfang, but he didn't go.

After being caught, he attacked us directly, but he didn't plan to escape.

Remember it?"

"Yes!" The disciples answered in unison.

In the long grass nearby, Lin Silang raised his eyes tiredly and called out, "Little Master Li."

Li Yuan looked at him and said gently, "Take good rest."

Lin Silang's voice trembled as he said intermittently, "They asked about winemaking, and I didn't say anything."
