An hour later.
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the western sky red.
"So it's Young Master Shang and Old Zhao. Why did you come so late today?”
Lin Xuan saw that it was an old customer and teased with a smile.
More than 90% of the income in his shop was contributed by Young Master Shang and Old Zhao.
"Sigh, there have been a lot of things at home recently. Didn't I just finish my work and come to your place?”
Old Zhao explained with a smile.
After a few simple greetings, Old Zhao and Young Master Shang walked into the wine shop and sat in their usual seats by the window. Lin Xuan went to the kitchen to cook.
The leaves outside the window had almost fallen, leaving only the lonely branches dancing in the wind.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Xuan's wine shop was lit up early.
"Has Shopkeeper Lin invented any new dishes recently?”
Old Zhao shouted towards the kitchen after he sat down opposite Young Master Shang.
He was actually not a foodie, but after eating at Lin Xuan's place a few times, he somehow fell in love with the food here. If he did not eat for a few days, he would feel that something was missing.
Young Master Shang was similar to Old Zhao. It was also because Lin Xuan's food was delicious that he came here every few days.
The most important thing was that Lin Xuan was the only one in the world who could make sour and spicy shredded potatoes. They had no choice!
"Of course, you'll know later.”
Lin Xuan said proudly when he heard this.
He had eaten countless delicacies in his later life. As long as he had enough ingredients and condiments, it would be easy for him to make new dishes.
Soon, Lin Xuan brought a pot of spicy and delicious meat slices to Young Master Shang and Old Zhao.
This should have been made with pork tenderloin, but Lin Xuan only had a few catties of mutton left in the kitchen, so he made do with it.
The soup was red and oily, with a strong spicy taste. The meat was tender and the vegetables were fresh. It was the best to go with rice!
Old Zhao had just tasted the soft and tender mutton when he gave Lin Xuan a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
Young Master Shang was also eating with relish, and he kept cheering.
In less than half an hour, Old Zhao and Young Master Shang had finished a bowl of boiled meat slices.
Old Zhao burped in satisfaction, indicating that he had never eaten such delicious mutton!
"Shopkeeper Lin, do you have any good wine?”
Just as Old Zhao was about to pay, Young Master Shang suddenly raised his hand to stop him and asked Lin Xuan for a pot of good wine.
Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he took out the Wuliang Liquor that he had treasured for a long time.
Although Shang Gongzi and Old Zhao often came here to eat, they rarely drank.
The two of them had never taken the initiative to ask for a drink when they came to eat before. Today was the first time!
If Lin Xuan did not see Young Master Shang's depressed expression and Old Zhao's money bag was bigger than his palm, he would really not be willing to take out the Wuliang Liquor.
"What's wrong with Young Master Shang today?”
Lin Xuan said in shock when he saw Young Master Shang pick up the Wuliang Liquor.
One had to know that the alcohol content of Wuliang Liquor was much higher than that of Qin Liquor!
Young Master Shang started to blow on the bottle and even drank half a bottle in one go. Even in the future, many people would get drunk!
Old Zhao saw that the situation was not looking good and hurriedly stopped Shang Gongzi when he was halfway through drinking.
"My young master is not in a good mood today, so…"
"Bad mood? What happened?"
Lin Xuan asked curiously.
His intuition told him that the opportunity to act tough had arrived!
When the slightly tipsy Young Master Shang heard this, he immediately pushed Old Zhao away and pulled Lin Xuan in front of him.
"Widow…"
Young Master Shang had just said one word when he realized that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his words." Shopkeeper Lin, you've eaten fruits and candied fruits before, right?”
Lin Xuan nodded and gestured for him to continue.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you should know that my family has deep roots and is deeply intertwined. We do everything, including selling fruits and candied fruits.”
"Recently, in order to monopolize the fruit business in Xianyang City, the clan leader decided to cooperate with another clan.”
"Actually, this is a very normal thing. We can just send Old Zhao to connect.”
"But what's strange is that this time, my younger brother insisted on personally going to receive it.”
"My brother usually doesn't like to show his face in public, but this time, he insisted on going to talk to people. This makes me feel very strange.”
Young Master Shang said as he thought.
He did not want to expose his identity for the time being, so he did not directly tell Lin Xuan that Cheng Jiao wanted to lead troops to resist the enemy. Instead, he made up a similar story.
"I almost understand. Young Master Shang, what you mean is that you think your brother is very suspicious, so you don't trust him to contact other families, right?”
Lin Xuan summarized what Young Master Shang said just now and asked seriously.
Young Master Shang nodded, then snatched the Wuliang Ye from Old Zhao's hands and took another big gulp.
"Actually, your matter is very simple. It's just like the current Qin Wangzheng and his younger brother, Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao.”
"Many people from big families will become more and more ambitious as they grow older.”
" In a few days, when the Han Wei and Qin start a war, there's a high chance that Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao will also request to lead the army and then take control of the army…"
Lin Xuan recalled the chaos of the flood dragon in history and gave Young Master Shang an example.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Old Zhao suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Shopkeeper, why are you so sure that in a few days, Han Wei will start a war with Qin?”
Old Zhao said in fear.
Only a portion of the officials in the court knew that Han Wei wanted to attack Sanchuan County. How did Lin Xuan know?
When Ying Zheng heard Lin Xuan say that Cheng Jiao was going to take control of the army, his heart skipped a beat.
How could Lin Xuan, the owner of a wine shop who did not leave the door, know about the matters in the court?
"You don't even know this?"
Lin Xuan said with disdain.
Young Master Shang and Old Zhao looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Let me ask you, did most of the Han and Wei people who are doing business in Sanchuan Prefecture leave the State of Qin recently?”
"Also, is the grain price in Xianyang City soaring recently?”
"The rarer a thing is, the more valuable it is. There have been no natural disasters or man-made disasters recently, so why is the grain price soaring?”
Lin Xuan asked.
