Chapter 15 Preparing to Brew

"Excuse me, idiot Bruce returns to the slums and creates the 'Manbach Town Tabloid'!"

"The Manbach Town tabloid published a bombshell news about the boss of the Ferocious Spider. It's only for giveaways, not for sale!"

"Sir, do you want to read the newspaper? The 'Manbach Town Tabloid' is only for giving away and not for sale. If you read it, I can give you a free copy!"

More than fifty half-grown children from the slums walked through the streets of Manbach Town, shouting and selling newspapers as newsboys.

Because of the incident at the ‘Zhenbei Iron Mine’, the town was a lot deserted today. But those who stayed were mostly the permanent residents of the town!

They only deliver newspapers but don’t sell them, and there really aren’t any in Manbach!

The 'Manbach Town Tabloid' is not much different from other newspapers. The only difference is that this 'Manbach Town Tabloid' is only given away and not sold.

With the mentality of taking advantage and not taking advantage of it, basically no one will resist this "Manbach Town tabloid".

Old man Zhou from the Black Heart Grocery Store also understands the situation and follows the "Manbach Town Tabloid" approach. Not to mention 51,000 copies of the newspaper, even 50,000 copies can be given away.

Don’t you need a silver bull to print a newspaper?

Doesn’t this mean giving money to others for free?

So what does the ‘Manbachtown tabloid’ gain?

Old man Zhou really can’t figure out what medicine that silly boy is selling in his gourd!

"Five thousand copies will be distributed randomly, and another five thousand copies will be distributed at designated locations. Try to distribute them to every store and house along the street!"

As noon approached, 10,000 copies of the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' had been given away.

Li Yinguang not only praised the newsboys for their performance today, but also gave each of them thirty copper bull coins and arranged for someone to take them to eat the stew.

In the future, the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' will need this kind of young men who are good at running on the streets and can endure hardships for a long time, so naturally they cannot be treated badly.

At noon, in pubs, pimp inns and other gathering places, people are talking about two things.

One was that the 'Chengbei Iron Mine' was plundered, and the other was the 'Manbach Town Tabloid'.

Although the 'Manbach Town Tabloid' is published for free, it does not cut corners in terms of printing and paper. Instead, the 'beautiful photos' are so attractive that many men have collected the 'Manbach Town Tabloid'.

Get up and prepare to enjoy it slowly when needed.

The content in the newspaper is even more impressive.

The boss of the ‘Ferocious Spider’, Shota Kuroda, is also considered a celebrity in the town of Manbach. The grudge between him and Old Dick many years ago was once again mentioned, along with the ‘beautiful and artistic photos’ that made people think of him.

Soon the story about Kuroda Shota and Old Dick became popular, and some people even came to the "Manbach Town Tabloid" newspaper office to ask if more details about Old Dick and Kuroda Shota's female family members would be published tomorrow.

For example, as a follow-up to "Beautiful Art Photos", they are willing to spend copper bulls to buy newspapers.

"Master, this is tomorrow's sample report!"

Goda, the housekeeper, walked in with the second sample of the 'Manbach Town Tabloid'. According to Li Yinguang, the Manbach Town tabloid would first publish three issues, one issue a day, for three consecutive days, with 10,000 copies a day.

Let’s talk about the popularity of ‘Manbach Town Tabloid’!

"The short story is very exciting. Who wrote it?" Li Yinguang raised his head and asked with a smile after reading the second issue sample newspaper.

The housekeeper Goda smiled and said: "I found a bard from the town, called Zhi Baige."

Li Yinguang nodded: "He is a talented person. If you have any requests, you can ask him and keep him as much as possible."

"yes!"

There is nothing wrong with the second sample newspaper, except for the ‘short stories’ and ‘artistic photos’, which this time are relatively more beautiful and bold.

Last night, Li Yinguang also did something.

Let the 'mysterious gem' stitched in your heart absorb the hundreds of kilograms of 'mutated black fuel' you bought.

It's very simple to 'absorb', just put your hand on the 'mutated black fuel'. Not only Li Yinguang's hand, but his whole body seems to have become a tool for sewing the 'mysterious gem' in his heart.

A piece of 'mutated black fuel' weighing several kilograms, placed in Li Yinguang's palm, would turn into ashes in about ten seconds.

Li Yinguang could clearly feel that the energy in the 'mutated black fuel' was transmitted through the meridians in his palms, arms and body to the 'mysterious gem' in the suture of his heart.

After hundreds of kilograms of 'mutated black fuel' were absorbed, Li Yinguang felt as if a layer of gray had been wiped off the surface of the 'mysterious gem', making it brighter.

He can feel the existence of the "mysterious gem", just like Li Yinguang can use the "mysterious gem" to digitally model the armored city of the Castle in his mind, and can peek at the entire Castle from a god's perspective.

Even today, Li Yinguang does not understand everything about the 'mysterious gem' that is stitched in his heart, and is still in the exploratory stage.

It not only recognizes objects and people, it can provide energy to the armored city, and it can also provide various kinds of assistance.

For example, refining spices, providing brewing technology, etc.

It's like giving it a fulcrum and it can evolve and perfect a macroscopic world for you.

The materials purchased from Old Zhou’s Black Heart Grocery Store last night, as well as the pre-ordered list of items, were also provided by the ‘Mysterious Gem’.

When it comes to the greatest legacy that Old Dick left to Li Yinguang, it was neither the 'Castle' nor the treasures in the secret room of the Iron Armor City, but the 'mysterious gem' that he had sewn into Li Yinguang's heart with his own hands.

In the afternoon, in addition to the list of items entrusted to Old Man Zhou to purchase, the little girl with a muddy face yesterday also brought a large amount of 'Sweet Grass Vine'.

It is also the excellent material for making aromatic wine, ‘Purple Phantom Vine’.

"There are forty-seven baskets in total. I will settle the settlement for you based on a basket of thirty copper oxen. The total is one thousand four hundred and ten copper oxen coins. I will give you one and a half silver oxen."

After the housekeeper Goda finished counting, Li Yinguang said with a smile, his eyes resting on the half-grown boy with a scar on his face. Although this young man has never spoken since he came here, he has always been observing him. He is very courageous!

Xiaoman nodded happily, took the money bag containing a mixture of silver bull coins and copper bull coins, and asked Li Yinguang eagerly: "Are you still collecting sweet grass vines tomorrow?"

His eyes were filled with strong expectation and hope.

Li Yinguang said with a smile: "Collect it, not only tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow!"

"Keep your word!"

Looking at the small black hand raised by the little girl, Li Yinguang smiled and raised his hand to pat her, which was regarded as an agreement.

After the group of half-grown children left, Li Yinguang ordered the housekeeper Goda: "Find someone to follow them and see where they live!"

He turned to look at the sweet grass vines all over the yard and continued: "Peel the 'Purple Phantom Vine', cut it into pieces, and put it into a container. Don't waste the juice and collect it!"

These 'Sweet Grass Vine' Li Yinguang prepared to make wine, distillation equipment and other things can be purchased from Black Heart Grocery Store, and you don't even need to make the koji yourself.

However, Li Yinguang has a better koji manufacturing process. From fermentation to distillation, it takes about three weeks. In other words, if you use "Sweet Grass Vine" to make wine, it will take a month at the fastest to produce wine.

In addition to the distiller's yeast, according to the instructions of the 'Mysterious Gem', Li Yinguang specially refined the 'flavor-enhancing yeast', which is said to make the brewed wine more flavorful.
