Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 82 80. Snow 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 refused to sit down. No matter what he said, Zhou Jia just stood respectfully at the door and refused to even enter.

"Old Zhou, are you boring?

You said follow me, I let you come in and sit down and have a meal, so what? "

"Come on, come on, I'll give you a pen and paper, you said"

"Why doesn't the servant sit with the master? I don't have such a rule here. Sit over and eat.

In this snowy day, cooking rice wine with old ginger and red dates is exciting. This rice wine was brought by a foreign caravan, and it will be gone after drinking it. "

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

"Why don't you move?"

What Li Yuan said was dry, but Zhou Jia just lowered his head, pressed the handle of the slender knife with his palm, and stood quietly in the shadow by the door, his eyes were dull and he seemed to be staring at something distracted, as if he was immersed in something. In one's own world or in a certain memory, it is difficult to extricate oneself.

Just 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 clearly illuminated the appearance of the visitor.

This is a charming lady with exquisite facial features, a melon-shaped face with fox eyes, a graceful body wrapped in a wide-sleeved vermilion fur coat, fluff around her snow-white neck, dignified, calm and pleasing curves on the corners of her lips, and her gestures are charming. So cute, it made the man with weak aura feel hard to climb.

"Sir." The proprietress smiled, as if she was wearing light, then she walked quickly to Li Yuan's side, looked at Zhou Jia who was shrunk in the darkness with him, and said politely, "This is Mr. Zhou, right?
I was at the teahouse just now, and I heard your name when I first arrived.

Don't be cautious, when you come to this building, you will regard this place as your home. "

Zhou Jia didn't speak.

The proprietress smiled dignifiedly: "My man doesn't usually drink much, so it's rare for him to have someone fetch rice wine and ginger and cook it in a pot.

Mr. Zhou, don't spoil my man's interest, come and sit in the room and drink some wine to drive away the cold. "

Li Yuan beckoned and said, "Lao Zhou, I'm at home, but even I have to listen to my wife. Come, come, 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 in the distance, like a straight spear standing in the darkness, silent.

Li Yuan sighed and looked at the proprietress again.

The lady proprietress said politely: "Mr. Zhou, then I will ask Wu Guan to take you to familiarize yourself with the restaurant first, and take you to the house to tidy up first. After all, you will stay here in the future, right?"

Zhou Jia just nodded.

The proprietress then asked someone to call Steward Wu, and then told Steward Wu to respect Zhou Jia as Mr. Zhou Jia was in charge of feeding the horses in the stables, Zhou Jia’s salary was paid according to the steward, and so on.

Wu Guanshi was amazed in his heart, glanced at Zhou Jia's waist knife, and didn't know if it was a scary guy or a real weapon.After all, whoever uses this knife as a real weapon can come to work in a restaurant?
Li Yuan shouted: "Old Wu, Mr. Zhou is an eighth grade.

Also, he is from my teacher's school, remember to be respectful. "

Wu Guanshi staggered, rolled his Adam's apple, and immediately became respectful.

When people left, the proprietress took Li Yuan's arm, came to the private room, and asked: "Master, is this eighth grade from Master Li's side?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Sister Xue, this is indeed someone from my teacher's school. He has had a painful past, and now he just wants to follow me. I let him come to the restaurant, which can be regarded as helping to see the building."

The proprietress said: "The stables are connected to the winery, so he can take a look at them at the same time."

Li Yuandao: "Don't let him do the inspection work, send him two waiters, 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 over."

"The distillation equipment I mentioned, did you also make it?"

"I have done and tried it all, and I can really make stronger wine!"

"Well, remember that people who make wine need to be patient, and they must use their confidantes. Others are not allowed to enter the winery." Although Li Yuan doesn't know the details, he still knows the basic knowledge that "distilled wine" can purify stronger wine. As for the mastery of the "fire", it was also what he heard when he was drinking at a banquet before crossing.

He told the proprietress about the "distilled liquor", and after a successful trial, he patiently waited for the opportunity.

Now that he has broken through to the seventh rank and has Zhou Jia again, the time has come.

"Well, don't worry, my husband, the concubine has been arranged."

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

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there will be trouble at the Yichan Pavilion, right?"

"It doesn't matter that the black-faced elder is also a decent person, he won't do it himself?" Li Yuan smiled, "As for the other eighth and ninth ranks, if I can make waves in this Yinxi, I will be considered a loser."

He was full of confidence.

Grandmaster-level tracking, breath-seeking skills, and the comprehensive strength of the strongest "370" don't dare to even have the "right to brew wine", right?

An eighth-rank genius in the Blood Knife Sect, plus a small circle background in the Shi Sect, can he not make money for this drink?
He knew that Master Li and Zhou Jia were the only generation above Yan Yuemen, did anyone else know?
It's time for Hengwu Restaurant to change from a foot shop to a real shop that can serve wine.

He can make more money by brewing wine in a regular shop. With money, he can do more things.

At dusk, the carriage ran over the ice and snow, leaving two dents on the pale road.

Cross the street, turn the corner, and go to the inner city.

In the car, the proprietress was holding a thermos pot covering her hands, leaning on Li Yuan's shoulder, and said softly: "It's getting harder and harder these days."

"what happened?"

"I worry about messing up."

"If Yinxi is in chaos, it is also the last place in Shanbao County to be in chaos."

"It's a poor harvest this year, obviously there is no natural disaster, how could it be like this?" The proprietress sighed softly, and then said, "The offerings you have received from Xuedaomen are completely different from Lord Wu and Master Li, and some of them are simply bandits and thieves. Kou. I don’t know how many bad things I’ve done.”

"Isn't this going to deal with the Sun family and those remnants of the Wei family?

Last year, the remnants of Yinxi, Wutong, and Zichong were wiped out, but those in other places are still alive. Li Yuan said casually, and then said, "Is there any news outside the county?" "

"I have been in contact with the people in the caravan a few times, and they said" the proprietress's beautiful eyes flashed a bit sadly, "famine is happening everywhere, last year it happened, and this year it will continue.

Some places that were not noisy before have also become noisy this year. It seems that many of the original fertile fields will die all of a sudden.

I don't know what happened.

Now the fields are full of hunger and people, and the ground is full of people... eh."

She sighed.

People's hearts are made of flesh, even if they have nothing to do with themselves for the time being, how can they not have some kind of compassion and compassion for others?
"Is it?"

Li Yuan responded, but suddenly he thought of one thing: It seems that this year, the meat fields in the inner city and the meat fields in the Wei family have a bumper harvest.

Ninth-rank monster meat is being used as a resource, frantically supplied to those disciples who are new to the blood knife sect, to help them break through the ninth-rank as soon as possible and achieve consummation.

He thought, then fell silent.

The proprietress held the thermos pot and slowly closed her eyes against him.

into the night.

A dragon and a pair of phoenixes, after a little bit of lingering, the quilt is delicate and caring, and the warmth is still there.

The moonlight came in through the window, and in the dark darkness, only the blurred outlines of the tables and chairs in the house could be seen, and only the cold wind whistling outside the window could be imagined.

Li Yuan looked at Yan Yu lying on his right arm, and then at Xue Ning on his left arm.

Mrs. Yan is petite and lovely, and the proprietress is tall and charming, but he is born with a strong physique.

Food, sex, and sex are just a few things in the world of mortals.

Li Yuan turned left for a while, and turned right for a while.

When the two women were not together, they could only talk to Li Yuan, but when they were, they let Li Yuan mess around, but they didn't talk to him, but chatted in the air.

"Sister Xue, I'm not wrong, this good guy is amazing."

"Hee hee, it was really hard for my sister to be alone in the past."

"Sister Xue, what are you going to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Where can I get up?"

Li Yuan heard that the two women completely ignored him and chatted happily. He even wanted to penetrate several times, but the two women did not talk to him.

Li Yuan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Sister Yan, Sister Xue, I have broken through to the seventh rank."

Immediately, the two women fell silent.

Li Yuan said again: "Choose an auspicious day, and we will make up a wedding banquet. When the time comes, Master Li will host it for us."

The two girls immediately rejoiced
Lady Yan said happily, "Okay, okay!"

The proprietress said happily: "I remember, ten days later, it will be an auspicious day."

But then, the proprietress came to her senses again and said, "Breakthrough to the seventh rank?"

Yan Yu knew it, and was giggling beside her.

Seeing her bright and charming smile, the proprietress was a little dazed, and repeated: "Qipin?"

Li Yuan leaned into her ear and said, "Maybe... I'm 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, Tie Sha was still more than 100 points behind in overall strength.Rather, he always felt that there might be hidden masters hidden in every place.

At first, he hid the matter from the proprietress, but as he and the proprietress became more intimate, and the wedding was about to be held formally, he decided not to hide it.

But the proprietress was already stunned.

Her pretty face was full of shock, and she hesitated and said: "Then that black-faced elder?"

Li Yuan remembered the comprehensive strength of "165~185" of the black-faced elder, and said: "One-on-one, I should kill him with one blow."

"Really?" The proprietress was breathing fast, and her voice was trembling.

Lady Yan softly leaned over Li Yuan's chest, rubbed the proprietress's frozen face, and said with a smile: "Look at this surprised little look, it's not often seen in normal times."

The proprietress said coquettishly, "Sister Yan, Mr. Mr. He's telling the truth?"

Lady Yan said: "Of course it's true, Mr. Xiang is very powerful. But...you can't tell the outside world, but you can only make decisions based on Mr. Xiang who has just broken through the eighth rank."

When the proprietress heard the words, there was a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes, and she understood immediately. She took a deep breath, leaned on Li Yuan, and said, "Master, I really feel safe by following you."

Li Yuan rubbed her hair.

At this time, Yan Yucai asked: "How big is the wedding banquet?"

Li Yuandao: "What do you think?"

"Just" the proprietress was still thinking.

Lady Yan said, "Master, it's better to be simple."

Li Yuandao: "I'm afraid you will be dissatisfied."

Yan Niangzi smiled straightforwardly and said, "We are still afraid that you will save face."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "You don't save your face with banquets. What about Sister Xue?"

The proprietress thought about what she had seen and was starving. If the wedding banquet was an extravagant extravagance, she would feel uncomfortable. With the money, she might as well open another porridge shop. In fact, she had already discussed this with Yan Yu.

At this time, she also said softly: "I am also afraid of saving face.

In fact, Sister Yan and I are both husband-in-law, so it doesn't matter if the wedding banquet is held or not. "

Early the next morning, Li Yuan went directly to the yamen to approve the "right to brew wine".

The reason why it went so smoothly is also because he is now in charge, controlling Yinxi Mingshi, Wupu, and Yamen together with Zhao Chunxin.

And when Wu Lian was enshrined before, he would have rejected all the restaurants that applied for "wine brewing rights". After all, there are many "relationship households" in Yinxi, each taking care of their own interests, and he would not touch Wu Lian. These.

As soon as the "right to brew wine" came out, Hengwu Restaurant posted a notice, and the surrounding area was full of noise.

Soon, Yichan Pavilion knew the news.

In the restaurant, it looked silent, but behind the restaurant, it was already noisy.

A steward ran up the pavilion in a hurry, and called "Master" a few times in front of a certain private room, until there was a reply from the room, he opened the door and entered.

In the room, a middle-aged man in fine clothes and a bowler 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 coming, he frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

The steward hastily whispered in his ear: "Master, Hengwu Restaurant has become a regular restaurant."

Zhu Tongji frowned deeply, and said, "Look again."

The steward then hastily resigned.

a few days later.

In front of Hengwu Restaurant.

The waiter of the part-time wine doctor yelled in front of the door: "New wine from Hengwu Restaurant~~~
Snow fermented fresh wine, seasonal limited~~~
Get drunk in a cup, pour in a pot, come and taste~~~”

It was noon at this time, shouted for a long time, and soon some customers asked the price.

Dr. Jiu laughed and said, "A cup of fermented grains is two big coins; a pot of fermented grains is one tael of silver."

"Why is it so expensive? Normally, a pot is only three big coins?"

"Today, the new snow fermented grains are on the market. Customers 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 little clear and sweet wine in the glass, and said, "That's all, I'm afraid it won't taste good in your mouth."

Dr. Jiu smiled and said, "Guests, please try."

The guest grabbed the cup and drank it in one gulp, "tsk tsk" said: "It's very mellow, the taste is okay, just..."

Suddenly, he stopped talking, his cheeks flushed, and his body trembled violently.

The distilled wine mixed with snow water in winter, in addition to the natural taste of heaven and earth, also has the strong aroma of spirits.

The entrance is like frost, I don't feel much, but after entering the throat, the frost gradually disappears, and when it enters the abdomen, all that is left is a flaming knife.

This knife directly stirs the internal organs, making people who are used to drinking low-alcohol wine feel like they are on the top, it is very novel and enjoyable.

"Okay, have a good drink!!" The guest seemed to have forgotten the previous arrogance, tremblingly fumbled for a tael of silver from his bosom, and said, "I am also a regular customer of yours, can it be cheaper?"

Dr. Jiu said with a smile: "There are only a few snowfalls in winter, and the quantity of new wine made from fresh snow 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, ordered a pot directly, ordered two plates of wine and food, and then started to eat.

In front of Hengwu Restaurant, more and more people came.

Those who entered came here because of the fame, but those who left were drunk.

Those men who kept saying that they would not be able to pour a few jugs of water and wine, their cheeks turned red after only one jug, began to giggle, cursing "good wine, good wine", and were helped out of the store.

In the evening, there was still an endless stream of visitors.

On this day, Hengwu Restaurant didn't close until very late.

The proprietress raised her long legs, her little feet were covered with embroidered shoes, and she turned up and down at the bottom of the table, flipping through today's account book with her fingers, with a smile on her lips, she looked at Li Yuan from the side, and said happily: "Master, this batch of one hundred catties The snow grains have already sold 180 catties, and the income is 150 taels. After deducting the cost, we made a net profit of more than [-] taels.
This is the first day, the first day.
The money came too easily.

This is the snow fermented grains used to test the water. If you want to make high-end wine in the future, you will have to earn a lot more. "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Trouble will come tomorrow."

The proprietress said: "Then what should we do?"

Li Yuandao: "I'll come for Wen, and Lao Zhou for Wu. I want to let others know. Lao Zhou is from my teacher."

"Yeah." The proprietress knew what her man meant, and said, "Is Xianggong's family really great?"

"It's not big, it should be only Master Li, Lao Zhou and me left." Li Yuan said.

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, "That can't be used as a protective umbrella."

Li Yuandao: "I didn't say, you don't know?"

The proprietress nodded.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You don't even know, will others know? They will only think that my teacher is supporting me.

And there was Master Li before my teacher, and now there is an eighth-rank expert, who would know that there are only so many people in my teacher? "

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 will be divided into two lanes, one is normal, and the other is for women, children and the elderly.

I have also suffered from hardship, and I know that life is difficult.

Now that I have some ability, it's time to help those who are still suffering.

If you can't help me too much, just help as much as I can. "

"Okay, in a few days, I'll ask someone to go to Fangkou to open two more." The proprietress looked at her man happily, and said softly, "It's late at night, Mr., I can't go back to the inner city today, so I'm in the restaurant Let's stay overnight."

"Um"

After a while, the candle was extinguished, and there was a slight creaking sound from the bed.
