In the center of Jianyi City, the prosperous residences are connected together, forming an angle with the Wang family. The house numbers are written with large gilt characters, which are brilliant and grand.
Li Mansion!
As the leading big family in Jianyi, the Li family is not famous, but the Li family is everywhere.
The grain shops opened all over Jianyi belong to the Li family.
Being able to control many grain depots in a land of plenty and plenty shows its energy and strength.
The Li family took advantage of the abundant water conservancy resources in the south of the Yangtze River to transport unique and precious treasures from various places to Jianyi all year round, and also transported food from Jianyi.
Wherever there are floods or droughts, the Li family's food can appear. Although it is limited to the south of the Yangtze River, it is also very famous.
In the most central residence of Li Mansion, the servants walked in a hurry, hunched over, and carefully reported the recent investigation results.
"Weiyuan Escort Bureau has recently started selling Yuhuchun. Its wine is clear and fragrant. It is a first-class spirit. It has affected our business recently..."
"oh!"
Lin Gui, the housekeeper of Li Mansion, raised his eyebrows.
"Have you never heard that Weiyuan Escort Agency has wine-making skills before?"
As a first-class grain merchant, the Li family does not specialize in selling grain. Selling grain consumes a lot of money on the road.
Moreover, the land south of the Yangtze River is a land of plenty. Ordinary people are short of food, but they cannot afford it. Rich merchants' families are rich, but they are not short of food.
The Li family often shipped grain to communicate with other families and join forces to carve up local interests.
The profits from a trip are often not high, but the wine, which is symbiotic with food, is one of the biggest profits for the Li family.
The profits of wine are extremely high, and wine is not as easy to preserve as food. It can often be stored for a long time, and the longer it is, the more fragrant it becomes.
The Northland has good wine, especially good spirits. If you can use relevant transportation to transport enough wine to the Northland, the profit can be doubled or even ten times or a hundred times.
Therefore, the Li family has always paid attention to various novel brewing methods.
Pay special attention to those small but powerful spirits brewing methods.
In the bitter cold land of the northwest, where we have to fight against alien races all year round, strong liquor is a necessity, and the consumption is huge every year.
"It is rumored that the brewing process left by their ancestors was extremely difficult to brew in the past. After improvements by people of their generation, the success rate of brewing has been greatly improved, and it has only recently begun to be sold..."
The servant bowed down and took out a jar of jade pot spring from Fulai Restaurant, and carefully patted open the seal.
Pour a clear and bright cup of Yu Hu Chun into the bowl in front of the table.
Lin Gui has been in charge of family affairs all year round. As the housekeeper of Li Mansion, he is very knowledgeable about all kinds of wine industry, and he can detect the extraordinary quality of this wine just at a glance.
When you smell it from a distance, you can feel a strong aroma of wine pouring into your nose, and the wine is clear and translucent, without the residue or green liquid that is common in ordinary wine.
"This jug of wine only costs one tael of silver?"
"Yes, it is sold openly in Fulai Restaurant and has gained a reputation recently..."
The servant was very familiar with the investigation and had obviously made sufficient preparations. When he heard the relevant report, Lin Gui suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The servant didn't understand the details yet, but Lin Gui had already vaguely anticipated that Yu Huchun was extraordinary.
He took a sip gently, and the wine was fragrant and fragrant. Just one sip felt like a ball of flame exploding from his throat to his stomach, and his whole body warmed up.
Lin Gui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How many jars of this kind of wine have been sold in Fulai Restaurant these days? Has there ever been a situation where supply exceeds demand?"
"They seem to have a lot of reserves. They have become more and more prosperous in recent days. They can sell more than ten jars a day, but there is no worry on the face of the shopkeeper..."
The more Lin Gui listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"The recently improved brewing method... there is no shortage of supply. At least there is no shortage of Yuhuchun..."
Through some current clues, he has learned a lot of extremely useful information.
"You did a good job. Go to the accounting office and get two coins."
The servant's face showed joy and he hurriedly retreated.
He ate at the restaurant every day, observed the people coming and going, and recorded the jade pots sold in the restaurant. He was able to get so many rewards, which made him happy.
He was extremely satisfied with this job.
…
Zhang Ming Tutu walked around Wang's house and strolled to Li's house for a while.
After harvesting a wave of related obsessions, there were not many disturbances.
Zhang Mingtu just got up and walked back. But when he was walking back, he passed by the Ganjiang River and listened to the sound of the tide of the Ganjiang River in the distance, and his heart was inexplicably touched.
He couldn't help but think of the catfish monster that disappeared into the water during the day.
After thinking about it, Zhang Mingtu got up and went to the Ganjiang River again.
The Ganjiang River is considered a tributary of the Yangtze River, and there are many big fish in it, many of which have lived for decades and are larger than the average person.
If the body of a demonized catfish monster is eaten by these big fish, it is very likely that another big psychic monster will be cultivated.
There are countless fishermen who make a living along the Gan River, and their farmland has been annexed. They can still survive because they rely on this tributary of the Yangtze River.
Once a big demon appears in this river, it will probably cause great slaughter.
Zhang Mingtu walked through the river several times, carefully sensing the corresponding evil spirits inside the river, and walked more than ten miles upstream and downstream for more than ten miles, but found nothing.
It's just that I absorbed several obsessions in the water. Some people lost their footing and fell into the water, and there were also people who had such painful lives that they couldn't stand it and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
But there was no trace of the catfish demon, and not much demonic energy was found in the river.
Zhang Mingtu was puzzled. It was impossible for such a big catfish monster to disappear out of thin air.
No matter how much doubts and confusions he had in his mind, he still had no choice but to return.
After deciding that if he has time or if the writing on the book of life and death disappears completely, he will predict the future in the next round and ask his brother to pay more attention to the monsters in the Gan River if possible.
After making up his mind, he turned around and returned home.
My parents were already asleep, and I only occasionally heard them talking in their sleep.
"You need to prepare more pork."
"Yuhuchun may not be enough."
…
Zhang Mingtu smiled softly, and the unhappiness in his heart caused by absorbing obsessions in Wang and Li's family disappeared immediately.
There are many dark places in the world, but there are also many bright places.
After the marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, Zhang Mingtu's energy became normal. He did not feel tired after a busy day and was still energetic.
When he returned to the courtyard, he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he returned to the courtyard and started practicing Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and Tianlong Refining Divine Fist.
At first, Zhang Mingtu thought these two sets of boxing techniques were shallow and not profound enough. However, having experienced the natural collision between the two and the birth of true energy, he realized the extraordinary power of these two boxing techniques.
I practice it every day when I have time to experience the divine will of the Heavenly Dragon and the demonic nature of the Tiger Demon.
While practicing boxing, Zhang Mingtu suppressed all his blood and energy for fear of shocking his parents.
After practicing a few sets of boxing techniques, I felt a little depressed.
"It's still not convenient to live with my parents. I have to find an apartment when I have time."
