The huge tiger strode forward without acknowledging anyone, mainly because it wanted to roar at anyone it saw.
When they arrived, Lu Xiu pulled the reins hard. Soon, the tiger's four limbs knelt on the ground so that Lu Xiu, who was sitting on its back, could calm down. Its obedient appearance was simply not like a fierce tiger.
"Little Brother Lu, how did you capture it alive and tame it so well? Oh, don't tell me you want to domesticate it."
Cheng Yaojin was not afraid at all. He walked up to the tiger and sized it up.
He did not know how Lu Xiu did it. It was extremely difficult to hunt a wild beast in the dense forest, let alone catch it alive.
"Yes, I mainly want to use it to guard the door." Lu Xiu said.
"In the entire Great Tang, only Little Brother Lu would dare to treat such a ferocious tiger as a guard dog.”Even Cheng Yaojin, who had always been bold and absurd, was impressed.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Cheng Yaojin and thinking that it was all because of him that the morning court was abandoned, Li Er was instantly furious.
"Um…um, I was helping Little Brother Lu sell wine. Yesterday, I sold 100,000 catties of wine, so I came to give you money. It's a total of 50,000 yuan.”
Cheng Yaojin didn't expect Li Er to be here. He had been completely distracted by the tiger and hadn't noticed it at all. When he saw Li Er in front of him, he was so scared that he couldn't speak properly.
"It only took you one day to sell half of them? Old Brother Cheng, you're really efficient. I thought I had to find someone else to help.”Hearing this, Lu Xiu's eyes lit up.
"Humph, yesterday he invited over a hundred colleagues to his house for a drink. Everyone was drunk, and who knows how many things were delayed.”Li Er said coldly.
"It's really because Manor Head Lu's Moutai is too delicious. I couldn't stop after taking a sip. You can't blame me for everything. Didn't Old Wei, who usually didn't drink much, get drunk?”Cheng Yaojin retorted in a low voice.
"Don't do it again." Li Er did not want to talk too much about the imperial court in front of Lu Xiu. He was afraid of exposing his identity.
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time. If it wasn't for the few hundred catties of Maotai that Little Brother Lu gave me, I wouldn't have been willing to use my wine to entertain them.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"It's okay. If it's not enough, I'll give you a few hundred catties to hire them. If they weren't happy, they wouldn't buy it.”Lu Xiu said with a smile.
"Cough cough, enough, enough. By the way, Villa Head Lu, when are you going to give me the 100,000 catties of Moutai? They are in a hurry.”Cheng Yaojin hurriedly asked.
"Haha, don't worry. Let alone 100,000 catties, I can even bring back the entire 200,000 catties later. You can give me the money when it's sold out.”Lu Xiu said indifferently.
In the past, Lu Xiu would only give him Maotai if he took the money to order. Cheng Yaojin used his own ability to prove that he was trustworthy!
"Villa Head Lu, it's 180,000 catties. Don't forget that I've already reserved 20,000 catties. As for the money, I'll send someone to bring it to you in a few days.”Li Er reminded.
"Yes, yes, it's 180,000 catties." He had sold more than half of the Moutai liquor, and the 60,000 yuan he had earned should be enough to build a house.
He didn't need to spend extra money on manpower. He used the food he ate to pay for his labor, saving thousands of strings of money every day.
If it wasn't for this, the few thousand strings of coins that Li Er had given him wouldn't even be enough for a day's expenses.
The main expenditure was on construction materials, with transportation being the largest. After all, transportation was very inconvenient in the Great Tang era.
The reason why marble was so expensive was because it had to be transported over a long distance.
It was a pity that he did not have the Stonestone Fruit. If he could use the Stonestone Fruit's ability, building a house would be a piece of cake. All kinds of stone materials could be conjured with his ability.
"Originally, I thought that 200,000 catties of Moutai was a lot and was worried that it wouldn't be sold out in a month. Villa Head Lu, are you really not planning to sell more?”Cheng Yaojin asked.
Even though he had spent money to save up 20,000 catties, he was worried that he would not be able to drink it for a day after drinking it. After tasting such a fine wine, he would feel very uncomfortable if he did not drink it for a day.
If he could open a winery in Chang 'an, he would not have to worry about not being able to sell it every day after he became famous. There were many merchants from all over the world in the Tang Empire.
Not to mention dark-skinned Kunlun slaves, even beautiful blonde female slaves were often seen in the slave market in Chang 'an. Grape wine from the Western Regions was as light as water. It was expensive and sold well.
"I'm not selling it. I'll just sell it off after selling 200,000 catties. If I didn't need money to build a house and get married, I wouldn't have planned to make money by selling Moutai liquor.”Lu Xiu shook his head.
"Hehe, you're right. Why should we give them such good wine?”Li Yuan snorted. He had done everything he could to stay in the Lu Manor and freeload.
