"Shopkeeper, you know the art of Feng Shui?”Li Shi Min, who had calmed down from his shock, couldn't help but ask.
Wang Chen casually waved his hand.
"Sigh, it's not worth mentioning. They're all small tricks. These are all passed down from my ancestors.”
"I only learned a little bit. According to the records of my ancestors, my ancestors were legendary…"
Just as Wang Chen was about to ramble on, Li Shi Min raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, alright. I know. Your ancestor is also Marquis Zhuge, right?”
"Are you going to tell me that I can know 500 years in advance and 500 years in the future?”
Wang Chen didn't feel awkward when he saw that this guy was interrupted before he could brag. Instead, he picked up his wine glass.
"Come, let's not talk about this."
"Ha! I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
The three of them immediately toasted each other and drank a few more glasses in succession.
After the dishes on the table were finished, Li Shimin estimated that it was time for him to return to the palace.
He stood up shakily, his face red from drinking.
"Shopkeeper…Shopkeeper Wang, I think it's getting late. I still have to go to the shop, so I won't stay any longer.”
Du Ruhui also stood up when he heard this. His face was also red and he reeked of alcohol.
Wang Chen looked at the two of them who were walking unsteadily and could not help but ask worriedly,"Old Li, Old Du, look at you. Can you walk into the shop by yourself?”
"Why don't you tell me where the shop is and I'll send you two there?”
Li Shi Min suddenly shivered, he didn't want to be exposed at this moment.
"No, no. Shopkeeper, no one is looking after your tavern. You don't have to worry about sending us there.”
"Do you really think you can stump us with just a few sips of wine? We can go back by ourselves.”
Li Shimin said as he took out the money from his purse.
"The shopkeeper didn't forget about me today and gave me a chance to make a fortune, but I had no choice but to miss it.”
"On the contrary, I caused you to slip away a sum of money. I feel a little apologetic. Today, I will pay an extra two strings of money for this meal.”
Wang Chen was immediately overjoyed. Two strings of money had a lot of purchasing power in this era. An ordinary family of five could eat for a long time.
"Old Li, I didn't trust you wrongly. You're really an honest person.”
"Don't worry, today's deal isn't the only one that will make a lot of money. When I rest and think about it, I'll let you make a mountain of gold and silver sooner or later.”
Li Shi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also liked this young man more and more.
He had the ability, foresight, brains, understanding of human relations, and even knew how to speak.
His personality was so good, and his behavior was very to his liking.
Such a young man was simply the word used by the heavens to describe perfection.
Li Er secretly made up his mind that when Wang Chen entered the court one day, he would put this young man in an important position.
After Li Du and his subjects got up from their seats, they supported each other and walked towards the door of the tavern.
Halfway there, Li Shimin was knocked out, either because his legs were weak or because he was drunk.
It was Wang Chen who reacted quickly and rushed over to support him.
"Old Li, if you can't drink that much, you should have said so earlier. We're still waiting for you to make a lot of money.”
"I told you that I would look for you to drink the next time I brew a wine with a higher alcohol content. Now, it seems like I should hide it and slowly taste it.”
Li Shi Min was a little anxious.
"I say, Shopkeeper Wang, you're not in the mood to do this. Next time, take out all the good stuff you have.”
"But don't say that your wine is really strong.”
"Earlier, you said that the degree was high. I thought it was just that. Presumably, it wasn't that high. Who knew that it would be so violent?”
"In the past, I could drink two jars without changing my expression. Today, the three of us split the food, and I'm a little drunk.”
"But to be honest, the strong liquor still has a taste. I'm tired of drinking it when the alcohol content is too low.”
" In my opinion, if your alcohol was stronger, you would be sought after in Chang 'an. You could make a lot of money without me."”
The speaker was not serious, but the listener was serious.
Li Shi Min's casual words immediately made Wang Chen fall into deep thought.
That made sense. Old Li was indeed a businessman. He had some foresight and brains.
Why did he neglect something like high-alcohol white wine?
In the Tang Dynasty and earlier eras, the alcohol content of the wine brewed was extremely low. What ordinary people drank was almost fruit wine.
If he could mass produce 40 - 50% alcohol white wine, it would be quite popular in the market.
After memorizing this business opportunity, Wang Chen patted Li Shimin on the back.
"Alright, just based on your brother's words, I won't forget you next time.”
"But do you really not need me to send you two off?”
Li Du and the other quickly waved their hands again.
"No need, no need. You do what you need to do. We can walk by ourselves.”
Wang Chen nodded.
"Alright, take care. Forgive me for not seeing you off.”
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui cupped their hands and helped each other out of the shop.
After turning a corner, a large number of palace guards in disguise swarmed up and protected the two masters in the middle.
