It's hot in the summer, but there is a cool breeze in Li Xiuyuan's backyard.

The chirping of the cicadas on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree is fading, and the fires on the two stoves are blazing. This is already the fifth day he has been brewing wine.

He has brewed ten vats of the cheapest black bean wine, ten vats of sorghum shochu, and ten vats of aged rice. Now he is going to brew two more vats of medicinal wine, just to deal with those tough old wine bugs.

Counting the days, there are only two days until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Tomorrow night, I will have to break into the prison of the city lord's mansion.

After brewing the new wine, Li Xiuyuan also took out the prepared wine license, took it to the front shop and hung it on the wall behind the counter, waiting to be opened to welcome customers later.

You sing opera in the city lord's palace, and I also sing opera in this small wine shop. It's just that you sing about the empty city plan, and I sing about the ladder over the wall.

Just as he was banging on the wall with a hammer, a gentle and quiet voice sounded from behind him: "I didn't expect you to actually plan to open a business?"

Li Xiuyuan was suddenly startled, and then he calmed down when he heard who the voice was. He quickly turned around, brushed off the sawdust on his body, bowed to the woman in front of him, and said, "So it's you who's here."

A woman in a red dress walked in from outside the store and sat down on the chair in front of the counter. She looked at him and said with a smile: "I promised to make you two sets of ready-made clothes on the first day of junior high school, but I didn't expect you didn't."

Come and get it."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the female shopkeeper in front of him, who he knew but still didn't know her name, and chuckled: "I'm busy making wine, so I forgot about it."

"No, I brought it to you personally." The female shopkeeper looked at him and smiled and said, "Everything has been prepared for you. Do you want to try it on now?"

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, he rubbed his head and smiled.

He smiled and said, "There's no need to try that. I'm not that particular about my clothes."

When the female shopkeeper heard this, she couldn't help but giggle: "I didn't expect you to be shy? Okay, let me have a taste of your good wine."

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then reached out and took out a jar of wine from behind his back, and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to come here in person. There is wine but no food."

"I knew you had no food." The female shopkeeper smiled and picked up a food box from the ground, and took out a large plate of beef with sauce and a plate of peanuts.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said: "These two are the main dishes to go with wine. Come on, let me have a taste of your wine."

Li Xiuyuan smiled, took out two cups, placed them on the counter, and poured wine into them while holding the wine jar.

Seeing the woman's disgusted expression, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel heroic, and said with a smile: "This is not a fine wine, it is a poison that penetrates the intestines. I treat you today. If you want to drink a cup of Lingshi in the future, it is limited.

.”

The female shopkeeper shook her head and said loudly: "Let me try your intestine-piercing poison to see if it is worth a spiritual stone." After speaking, she picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp...

Looking at the woman's appearance, Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, just took a sip of wine silently, then picked up a piece of beef and tasted it carefully.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a deep sigh: "I said... is this the wine you brewed? Shopkeeper Shura."

"Of course I brewed this wine with my own hands. How could I dare to leave it to others when it concerns my own reputation? It's rare that the shopkeeper likes it, so let's have two more glasses."

After saying that, Li Xiuyuan filled it for her again.

The woman looked up at the liquor license hanging on the wall and whispered softly: "Black bean wine costs one silver coin per catty, sorghum shochu costs one spiritual stone per catty, fine wine costs ten spiritual stones per catty, and intestinal poison wine costs ten spiritual stones."

One cup?" "Are you crazy? You only sell one cup per day, first come first served?! Crazy! You are not selling wine, you are robbing spiritual stones."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he looked at her and laughed, and replied calmly: "I have something cheap? With only one silver coin, everyone can afford it."

The woman shook her head, looked at him and asked seriously: "How can I sell the wine I drank? Give me two jars. It's a lot of money for you, don't worry."

Li Xiuyuan looked at her charming smile and replied: "This wine is not for sale, so I'll treat it to you. I ordered dozens of sets of clothes from you, and I don't even know the name of the shopkeeper."

"My name is Li Qiu Shui. So, will this wine be sold?" The woman in front of her named Li Qiu Shui looked at Li Xiu Yuan and said with a smile.

"Looking through the autumn water just for you? What a great name for the shopkeeper!" Li Xiuyuan continued to reply: "Shopkeeper Li, I only sell one glass of wine every day. Do you want more? I want to wait until this time next year."

Li Qiushui was shocked when he heard this. He covered his mouth and said, "Are you crazy? I can get ten spiritual stones with this mouthful? You are such a prodigal. If you had known, you would have asked me to pack it up and take it home."

Li Xiuyuan sighed softly, looked at her and said with a smile: "You are the first customer of my winery, so naturally I have to entertain you well. After I open the door, you will have to pay spiritual stones for your next visit."

"If I had known you were so rich, I should have charged you ten yuan for a piece of clothing. It's such a loss. I lost all my money. You are the most ruthless little man in Ding'an City. It's life-threatening. It's life-threatening."

"How can I say that I know such a charming guy like you? The money I will earn from now on will not be enough to come to your place to drink."

"I only earn a few bucks from selling my clothes. I'm really in debt... How about I come to you and become a shareholder? All the money I earn belongs to you. I only have one request. The wine I drink,

Enough."

Li Qiushui pulled Li Xiuyuan's sleeves, frowned, smiled bitterly, and started yelling.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head gently, looked at her and said with a smile: "I am just a small business, I don't need shopkeeper Li to invest. It seems that you and I are destined, as long as you come to my store in the future, I will treat you to a drink every day

,how?"

When Li Qiu Shui heard this, he couldn't help but giggle. He looked at Li Xiu Yuan with eyes full of admiration and said, "I said, little brother, you are not attracted to your sister, are you? I'm a prostitute, not a prostitute!"

Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and replied: "So, do you want this treatment?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiu Shui raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass, then poured another glass from the wine jar, looked at Li Xiuyuan and replied: "If you want it, a fool will not want it."

Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled and replied: "You haven't seen the hard work I put into making wine. I am fishing for Jiang Taigong. Those who are willing to take the bait will not buy or sell by force. Do you think so?"

You sell a jar of sorghum sorghum liquor for a piece of spiritual stone, and you say that the willing one will take the bait. Are you more powerful than the bandits in the wasteland? Li Qiushui said secretly in his heart.

"If you like the wine made by the previous shopkeeper, I still have some here, why don't you sell it to you at the original price? I heard from the owner of this shop that it is a spiritual stone and two jars of wine, how about I send it to you?

"

Li Xiuyuan also wanted to sell the wine left by the original tenant, and looked at Li Qiushui and said seriously.

Li Xiuyuan looked out from the shop in front of the store and looked at the backs of the people coming in on the street. He smiled lightly and said: "I'm just handling the inventory for my boss. By the way, this wine gets better and better as it stores. Do you want it?!"

"How many more?" Li Qiushui wanted to refuse, but he thought that before this guy came, this shopkeeper's wine was the best in Ding'an City. If he didn't drink it himself, it would still be a honor to give it to others.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at her and replied: "I think it's more than a dozen bottles. This is not my wine. I can't guarantee the taste and quality..."

"Okay, stop pretending, pack them up and take them away in a moment." After Li Qiushui said that, he took out the clothes customized by Li Xiuyuan and placed them on the table outside the counter.

Looking at the black and white clothes piled up like a hill, Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect that there would be so many 20 sets. It seemed that the quality was indeed good.

Li Qiushui looked at his dazed look and said with a smile: "I made a few more sets for you to make you look so many. I guess I am afraid of you, okay?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but reached out and touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "This is the first time in my life that someone has given me something. What? This vat of wine was just opened, and the rest was given to shopkeeper Li."

Li Xiuyuan is not short of money right now. He read the message from Li Qiushui's eyes that his wine is worth the price. As soon as the wine shop opens, are you afraid that you still haven't received the spiritual stones yet?

When Li Qiu Shui heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He looked at Li Xiuyuan at the counter and said with a smile, "You are really good at business. How about I come and learn wine making from you?"

After speaking, he pointed to the door and said with a smile: "The couplet at your door alone is probably worth a hundred spiritual stones, right? There are countless merchants in Ding'an City, and I have never seen a shopkeeper who can write such a couplet."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at her and said with a smile: "You won't sell it even if you give me a thousand spirit stones. This is a sign. How can a business sign be transferred?"

Li Qiushui ignored him, but held the wine jar and poured it into their glasses. Then he picked up the lid on the counter and carefully sealed it, then put it away in a flash.

"What you said before is correct. This wine is poison to the intestines, but I like it."

Without waiting for Li Xiuyuan to reply, Li Qiushui continued to reply: "I won't be coming tomorrow. I have to go to the city lord's mansion to deliver a wedding dress to the bride tomorrow. I'll come back the day after tomorrow to ask for a drink...I'll bring vegetables."

Li Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was finally time to enter the house and rob someone.

I wonder if Ximen Lone Star will go crazy if the bride disappears on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh, looked at Li Qiushui and said: "As long as the shopkeeper is willing to come, my wine steward will be enough, and at worst I will earn less spiritual stones."

Li Qiuxin looked at him drunkenly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. When the time comes, I'll help you say hello to the major merchants in the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell enough wine."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll have to give you dividends. Don't worry, I'm greedy for everything except money."

"Bah! This is the first time I've ever seen a shopkeeper say that he's not greedy for money. So what are you greedy for? Are you greedy for sex? Do you want me to marry you? Are you dreaming..."

After picking up the cup and drinking all the wine in it, and eating two pieces of beef with soy sauce, Li Qiushui stood up and walked out with satisfaction.

"I'll get the wine when I come back and let the store clerk carry it back. There's no rush."

Before she finished speaking, she had already walked to the street outside the wine shop. This time she came to see Li Xiuyuan, and she finally came back satisfied. She was a little surprised that a young man who knew how to make wine could also be a good person.

However, he had nothing to worry about for the young man. Thinking of this, Li Qiushui couldn't help but laugh while walking on the street.

From now on, I can have a place to drink good wine without spending any spiritual stones.

If it doesn't work out, I think it would be okay to have a younger brother. It would be nice to have a younger brother who knows how to make wine.

Li Qiushui left, and it was almost midnight. Li Xiuyuan closed the store door and walked to the yard behind with a pile of clothes. The news was confirmed, and he had to think about a plan to save people tomorrow.

Do you want to be invisible and follow Li Qiushui? It is safer this way. Someone will lead the way in and out of the cell.

The disadvantage is that I have to stay in the prison for a whole day. If someone tracks me down and I disappear for a day for no reason, I am afraid that the father and son of the City Lord's Mansion will be targeted by then.

The only way, the best way is to take action after dark tomorrow.

As long as you insist on drinking wine and sleeping at home, who can prove that you are not at home?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan finally gave up and followed Li Qiushui to the City Lord's Mansion.

This woman is good, I can't harm her.
