"That's true."
Lin Zhong had been a shopkeeper before and had also checked the accounts. Of course, he knew that there was no lack of arrogant people in this world who relied on their families.
Li Yuanfang, who had been silent all this while, looked at Bai Fu doubtfully. The tavern's business was so good that it needed to be expanded?
This year was a year of disaster, and wasting food and wine would damage their reputation. That tavern could only sell stock.
Li Yuanfang couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Logically speaking, after the locust plague, every household owes food. Shouldn't luxury goods like wine be sold sparingly?”
"Heh, that tavern is just a profiteer. The wine is still not that good to drink, but the price has increased by three to five times.”
Bai Fu pouted and complained.
Hearing this, Lin Zhong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The husband and wife had signed a death contract. Once a slave, forever a slave.
Because the method to regain freedom was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
Someone was going to ask why?
Whether it was a living contract or a dead contract, the slave contract had to be recorded by the government.
If a slave under his name escaped without permission, the master's family would report it to the government, and the government would have the obligation to help find the slave.
Living Contract Slaves would naturally regain their freedom when the time limit stated in the contract was up.
The possibility of a slave with a death contract regaining his freedom was very low.
First, if you make a great contribution to the country or make a great contribution to the country, the imperial court will directly announce that you will be freed from slavery. In history, there have been people who have served as officials, and it depends on how great their contributions are.
Second, the new emperor would ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world. The main family would take the initiative to report it, and after the court's review, they would finally become free citizens.
Lin Zhong knew that he didn't need to think about the first option. His strongest ability was to settle accounts.
He could fight for the second option, but he probably wouldn't be able to make it to the throne at his age. His grandson's seniority would at least last until the next emperor ascended the throne.
Therefore, Lin Zhong decided to work hard for Li Yuanfang and fight for his descendants.
Ahem, of course, this kind of thought was a little rebellious, so Lin Zhong only dared to complain in his heart.
Therefore…
Lin Zhong said with a straight face. There was no trace of wild imagination on his face.
"It's hard to brew wine in this world. Those taverns that earn money from evil will not last long!”
"The renovation of the shop has already been completed. Don't worry about anything else. Now, call the three Shi brothers over to get the blueprints for the renovation.”
Bai Fu immediately went to look for him.
Li Yuanfang stroked his chin calmly.
The most popular wine in the Tang Empire was almost made from the natural fermentation of yeast and some grains. Therefore, most of the wine's reading was not high, similar to modern yellow wine.
The wine brewed by this method was called turbid wine because of its turbid liquid.
The taste of the turbid wine was sweet, and the spicy wine was invented later.
Distilling wine was something that only existed in the Song Dynasty.
Turbid wine was just a low-end wine, but there were also some high-end wines.
Some ancient gatherings would heat the turbid wine. The turbid wine would completely ferment during the heating process, and then the yellow fermented wine would be filtered out.
Of course, wine was still the most popular item at the banquets.
Isn't there such a poem: Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink lute immediately urged!
In summary, alcohol, a beverage that could be found in any convenience store in the future, could also be a bestseller in the ancient Tang Dynasty.
Just as Li Yuanfang was deep in thought, Bai Fu pushed open the door and returned. Behind him were the three brothers Shi Mu, Shi Lin, and Shi Sen.
"Since we're here, let's discuss…"
……
In five days, the shop was completely new.
As soon as he stepped into the shop, he saw all kinds of cabinets.
There was a display cabinet that stood against the wall. One meter in front of the display cabinet was surrounded by a circle of low cabinets. This design made it impossible for customers to directly touch the goods except for the staff in the shop. The main purpose was to steal.
In the middle of the shop, there were many benches for customers to rest on.
All the wooden products were carved with vivid patterns, giving people a delicate and comfortable feeling.
"Yuan Fang, are you sure this is a candy shop? Why does it look like a grocery store to me?”
Li Xiaogong teased Li Yuanfang cheerfully.
Li Yuanfang blinked his eyes and said with a playful tone.
"This is my shop. I can sell anything I want. No one said that I can only buy candy, right?”
"…Hmm, that's true. But if you have anything good, don't forget to leave it for the Hejian County Prince's Mansion.”
"I like straightforward people like cousin!”
"You…"
Li Xiaogong laughed and shook his head.
Before he could finish speaking, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open.
It wasn't the time to attract guests, so the guards 'expressions turned solemn and they each protected the two manor masters behind them.
Li Yuanfang subconsciously gave Lin Zhong a look.
Lin Zhong instantly understood and pretended to be angry as he shouted at the person.
"The store hasn't officially opened yet. It's that impolite person who came uninvited!”
A pretentious female voice sounded.
"Yo, you hired so many people to take care of the shop? Your employer is really generous. Is this store not suitable for me?”
The hair on Li Yuanfang's arm immediately stood on end, and he began to tremble in fear.
Where did this evil creature come from? This whiny and strange tone really made people feel nauseous.
A charming woman stood at the door.
To be honest, compared to her overly gorgeous appearance, the most eye-catching thing about her was her woman's bun.
"Tsk, I wonder which family's madam…acts like a shrew.”
Li Yuanfang crossed his arms and looked ahead with disdain.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The woman's face immediately darkened and she suddenly shouted coldly.
"Hmph, a bunch of undisciplined country bumpkins actually dare to make fun of me, Gu Sanniang. I think your shop doesn't need to continue operating!”
Li Chongyi, who was standing at the side, was instantly angered.
It was hard to take advantage of others.
Although because of the age difference, Zhou Wang's uncle's seniority was higher than his, he felt a little awkward.
However, his uncle was generous and never put on the airs of an elder. He could get along with him on equal footing and respect his opinions.
Therefore, Li Chongyi wanted to rush out and teach that coquettish bitch a lesson.
Just as he was about to retreat…
Li Xiaogong held down his impulsive son and warned him not to make a scene with his eyes.
"Your uncle can handle this kind of person himself.”
"Really?" "Uncle has only been in the palace for a month. Does he really know that outside the palace…people are scheming?" Li Chongyi was full of doubts.”
"Tsk, just wait and see."
Li Xiaogong turned his eyes away from his stupid son.
Hehe, isn't the palace the place with the most plots and schemes?
Li Yuanfang didn't take this woman to heart at all. He casually snapped his fingers to signal Lin Zhong to do whatever he wanted. If anything happened, he would take responsibility!!!
