The boat was rippling as it slowly moved forward.
Xu Ning sat in the boat and drank wine.
Big Dipper stood at the bow of the ship with his arms wide open, overjoyed as he looked at the vast water.
The outline of Wangshu Inn was already faintly visible.
The gingko tree on the top of the mountain looked like a golden money tree from afar.
"This inn deserves to make money. Every time we sleep, we hug the money tree!”
Xu Ning exhaled a breath of alcohol and commented on the Wangshu Inn not far away.
The old village chief chuckled.
"Yours is not bad at all. Wangshu Inn is located on the main road from Mond to Liyue. It can stop by land and water. Many merchants use this place as a place to rest and reorganize midway. It's difficult not to make money.”
"Even a few people in our village always bring the fish they catch here and sell them to inns or passing merchants.”
The old village chief skillfully parked the boat at the dock behind the inn.
There were also a few cargo ships docked next to the dock. Almost every ship had someone on board to guard their goods.
"Go up from here and turn to the front to reach the main entrance of the inn.”
Xu Ning jumped onto the wooden bridge and took Big Dipper.
"Grandpa, you can go and do your work! When the sun is in the middle, come here. Big Dipper and I will treat you to a meal. Uh, if it's not settled, then you'll treat us!”
" Haha, you..." The old village chief laughed and pushed the boat away.
Xu Ning held Big Dipper's hand as they walked forward while sizing up Wangshu Inn's layout.
The main structure was already in place, and the spiral staircase was also built.
However, the guest rooms above were not fully built yet. For the time being, the rooms below should still be the main ones.
The two of them walked to the front and went up the steps.
A fair-skinned, brown-haired beauty was serving a table of customers.
When he turned around and saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Please come in, please come in. Are you two guests eating or staying?”
Before the two of them could answer, the brown-haired beauty shouted at a thin man who was secretly pinching peanuts by the stove not far away,"Wayne, come and greet the guests!"
The thin man named Wayne didn't know if he had suffered or what, but he directly spat twice.
Only then did he sneer." Lady Boss, why don't you take a good look at them? They're just two dirty kids. What kind of guests are they?!"”
"Call me old!"
The brown-haired beauty was furious." A kid isn't a guest? You're lazy and don't know how to recognize people. Don't come tomorrow after you're done. Even if I put a cat there, I would be better at entertaining guests than you!”
The thin Wayne continued to sneer, but he did not move at all.
After the brown-haired beauty served the dishes to the guests, she hurriedly walked over and asked with a smile,"Do the two of you want to eat or stay?”
Xu Ning smiled." We're really not guests here to eat and stay. We just want to talk business with the owner of this inn.”
"I didn't expect you to come here to do business." The brown-haired beauty laughed.”
"I, Phil Godette, happen to be the boss here. So, what business do you have to discuss with me?”
"My name is Xu Ning. I want to talk to the boss about a business deal related to wine."”
Phil Godette's gaze swept across Xu Ning's wine gourd.
His gaze lingered on the God's Eye for a few more seconds.
"Did you brew the wine yourself? Unfortunately, my inn has a special wine supply channel for Mond. Good wine can be as good as cherry blossoms."
Xu Ning smiled when he heard this tactful rejection.
"Boss, you must be from Mond! If I may make you angry, Mond's wine may not be comparable to my own wine.”
"Moreover, the wine made according to Monderao's taste might not be to our Liyue Rao's taste!”
"Boss, if you also like to drink, why don't you try the wine I brought? It's free!”
Phil Godette pursed his lips, obviously disagreeing with Xu Ning's words.
"Mond is known as the 'Wine Country' in the Seven Kingdoms! Forget it, I don't know how to drink either. If you really want to sell wine, you can only talk to my shopkeeper.”
"Then where is your shopkeeper?" Xu Ning asked.”
Phil Godette looked up.
"I went to the stone gate to pick up the goods a few days ago. I reckon that I should be back before noon. You wait here for a while!”
Xu Ning nodded." Then let's wait for a while." Boss, you're busy. Don't worry about us."
Phil Godette went to greet the guests.
There were customers sitting at every table around them, and it looked like business was booming.
Xu Ning looked around and saw a slightly plump young man sitting at the table closest to the door. Almost every time he ate a few mouthfuls, he would glance at a wooden cart by the roadside.
It looked like his truck was parked there.
Xu Ning pulled Big Dipper's hand and walked toward the table.
"Is this empty seat taken?" Xu Ning asked.
That person did not even turn his head." There's no one else. Sit anywhere. It's fine if there are too many people, I'll finish it right away…Uh…"
The man turned around and was speechless when he saw Xu Ning.
These two children…didn't seem like people who shared a table to eat.
Moreover, if everyone shared a table and sat down to eat and drink, it did not matter.
However, it would be awkward if two people were staring at him while he was eating.
The man pushed his plate forward. There were still a few skewers of steaming wild mushroom chicken skewers." How about it? Want some?"
Xu Ning recalled that he left in a hurry this morning and hadn't eaten breakfast with Big Dipper, so he unceremoniously picked up a skewer and placed it in Big Dipper's hands.
"Thank you, but I can't eat your food for free. Come, have a drink!”
Xu Ning pulled over a teacup and poured the wine into it.
This person was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Then I, Big Yellow, will take advantage of you.”
Big Yellow reached out to pick up the bowl and sniffed it. He was surprised.
"Why does this wine taste so mellow? Is it home-brewed? I've traveled far and wide for many years, but I've never smelled such delicious wine.”
Rhubarb slowly took a sip and carefully tasted the taste of the wine.
After a long while, he lowered his voice and asked,"How much wine is this?" Are you selling it?"
Xu Ning smiled." I'm here to sell wine to the inn owner."”
Rhubarb nodded and asked," I'm going to Mond to deliver goods now. I'll pass by here in about ten minutes. Can you make a few more jars? Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you."”
Xu Ning thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Xu Ning and Big Dipper each ate two servings of wild mushroom chicken skewers to fill their stomachs.
Then, he heard Phil Godette's joyful voice.
"Shopkeeper, you're back!"
A slender man holding a slime balloon slowly crossed the wooden bridge in front of the inn and tied the rope in his hand to the lamppost at the door.
This was Xu Ning's first time seeing such a peculiar transportation method, so he pulled Big Dipper along to watch the show.
The top of the slime balloon was like a wooden cage, and a winged Wind Slime was locked in it as the main power output.
Below them were hanging ropes and partition boards for placing and securing goods.
For traveling merchants who brought heavy goods out, it was as easy as taking a stroll in the courtyard. They could easily deliver the goods to their destination.
"Are the construction materials ready?”Phil Godette walked up and asked.
The shopkeeper nodded." It's all here. Everything is ready."”
As the two of them were talking, the goods under the slime balloon suddenly squirmed.
Then, the waterproof cloth that was covering it fell down, revealing a fierce man whose hands and feet were tied and his mouth was stuffed.
