239 B.C., the eighth year of the reign of Qin.
In a tavern west of Xianyang City.
"Isn't my face too dark?"
Beside the paper window, Lin Xuan saw a few catties of chili and sweet potatoes in his storage space and could not help but complain.
This was his 40th time fishing, and he only caught some vegetables!
Lin Xuan was a transmigrator. After coming to this world more than a month ago, he inherited this wine shop.
In the past month or so, not only did Lin Xuan not catch any natural treasures or peerless divine techniques, he did not even catch any divine weapons!
Fortunately, the system's passive skill was that he could get a day's worth of bait for every day he opened the tavern.
Just as Lin Xuan planned to continue fishing, rustling footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Following the voice, Lin Xuan saw two familiar figures.
One of them was dressed in white and had an imposing appearance, while the other was covered in a gray robe and was submissive.
"Yo, Young Master Shang, Old Zhao, please come in!”
When Lin Xuan saw his old acquaintances, he immediately went out to welcome them.”
These two people were regular customers. As early as a month ago, the two of them often came here to eat!
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. This was because other than him, no one else had vegetables like peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes, so Lin Xuan set the price extremely high!
It was also because of this that no one usually came here to eat. Those without money could not afford to eat, and those with money were unwilling to come to such a small place.
Lin Xuan did not care about this because he did not want to open a wine shop to begin with. It was just that his luck was bad now and he could not catch anything good. He also needed a place to stay.
The Qin law was extremely strict. If one did not pass the test, it would be equivalent to an identity card for the future. They would not even be able to stay in a hotel, let alone the city!
"As usual, how can we not trust Shopkeeper Lin's craftsmanship?”
Shang Gongzi sat down near the paper window and replied with a smile.
Perhaps it was because he was tired of the delicacies in the palace, or because he hated the deception in the palace, but Young Master Shang liked to eat in this quiet tavern.
Not only was the food delicious, but there was also no restraint from Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Alright."
Lin Xuan nodded and turned to the kitchen.
He had a good impression of Young Master Shang and Old Zhao.
Not long after, Lin Xuan carried a few plates of fragrant food and walked out of the kitchen.
He was cooking home-cooked dishes like tomato scrambled eggs and stewed mutton with potatoes, so it didn't take long.
Old Zhao, who had not eaten for a day, could not help but swallow his saliva when he saw the fresh tomato scrambled eggs.
However, Young Master Shang had yet to eat, so Old Zhao could only wait.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the shopkeeper's craftsmanship has indeed improved a lot. These things are simply impeccable when matched together!”
After eating a few mouthfuls, Young Master Shang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
He had been in the palace for so many years, but he had never eaten such delicious food!
"Yes, it's more delicious than stewed fat sheep and sashimi!”
Old Zhao, who was wolfing down his food, echoed.
Not long ago, he sent many people to look for chili and tomatoes, but they could not find them. There was only one in the entire Xianyang City!
"This is a secret of my Lin family. The two of you should eat quickly, or it will get cold later.”
Lin Xuan smiled lightly and placed his hands on the counter. He looked at the endless flow of Qin people outside the door and fell into deep thought.
When would he be able to draw a heavenly treasure and a peerless divine technique?
Lin Xuan did not want to keep opening a shop here and serve others!
Although the income from opening a shop here was considerable, power and fists were obviously more important to him!
After more than a month of opening a shop, Lin Xuan already knew that it was the end of the Warring States Period.
"Shopkeeper, what are you thinking? If there's nothing else, why don't you come over and have a meal together?”
Just as Lin Xuan was thinking about how to avoid dying in the gully, Young Master Shang's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that it was difficult to refuse, he could only reluctantly agree to Young Master Shang.
Actually, every time Young Master Shang and Old Zhao came to the tavern to eat, they liked to ask Lin Xuan some nonsense.
He talked about the recent grain prices in Xianyang, the public security, and so on.
Ever since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State had placed emphasis on agriculture and suppressed commerce. The status of merchants had always been very low. It was only a few years ago when Lu Buwei, who was originally a merchant, took control of the government that the situation improved slightly.
Otherwise, Lin Xuan would not believe that Old Zhao was a merchant wearing such fine silk!
"What would Young Master Shang like to talk about today?”
Sitting cross-legged opposite Young Master Shang, Lin Xuan poured himself a bowl of wine.
He was a liberal arts student who loved the Great Qin Empire. As long as Young Master Shang and Old Zhao asked the right questions, there was nothing he could not answer about the records in the history of the Great Qin Empire.
In any case, there were not many people in the shop, and there was no way to fish now, so Lin Xuan did not mind bragging to Young Master Shang and Old Zhao.
"Manager, I want to talk about something special today.”
Young Master Shang winked at Old Zhao and hesitated.
After Old Zhao received the signal from Young Master Shang, he immediately stood up and closed the paper window. He carried the dishes and sat near the door.
"Tell me."
Old Zhao's abnormal actions made Lin Xuan feel a little strange, but he still had a calm expression.
What could two unarmed businessmen do to him?
"Shopkeeper, what do you think of the current King Qin?”
Clearing his throat, Young Master Shang suddenly said seriously.
