After returning to the village, we first went to the workshop where Ruyi Dew was made. The weather was a bit cold in the autumn, but inside the workshop, several men were shirtless and working enthusiastically.
Although their daily work is very monotonous, they obviously don't find it boring and they appear to be full of energy at all times.
It's no wonder that here, what they do is not hard work in the first place, it is much easier than herding horses or doing farm work. Not only that, they eat meat and drink wine every day, and sit on the kang with their mother-in-law in the evening.
Count the money, hide the money after counting, and when the mood strikes, do something shameless and shameless, and your life will be much more fulfilling.
Li Yi stood outside the workshop, took a look from a distance and felt relieved that everything was normal. He turned around and walked towards home.
When I walked to the door, before I stepped into the yard, I smelled a faint aroma of food.
Xiaohuan went to the shop with him in the morning, so of course she didn't cook the food. Miss Liu Er--not to mention she couldn't cook, even if she cooked it, Li Yi might not dare to eat it.
In the past, Xiao Huan or Xiao Huan cooked by himself. Li Yi subconsciously thought that the two sisters did not know how to cook. It was not until the past few days that he found out that Ru Yi also had extraordinary cooking skills.
None can compare.
Later, Xiaohuan told him that before the master left, when Xiaohuan and the second young lady were young, the eldest lady had always been cooking, and most of Xiaohuan's cooking skills were learned from her.
If in later generations, she would be roughly equivalent to that kind of girl with incredible looks, extraordinary cooking skills, a black belt in Taekwondo but a good temper, the goddess in the hearts of countless men, and of course Li Yi's ideal type.
But at that time, he couldn't be more ordinary. Even someone of this goddess level would probably not look at him seriously.
Now that I think about it, in my previous life, I often gave up my seat to the elderly on the bus, and occasionally helped the old lady cross the street. I was willing to help others even if I picked up money... After all, it paid off.
"My husband is back. After you wash your hands, come over and eat quickly." As soon as Li Yi stepped into the yard, a soft voice came over.
After living together for so long, Liu Ruyi was no longer surprised by Li Yi's habit of always washing his hands before eating.
During the recent period, Li Yi came back almost every day at this time. When he got home, the food was already prepared. It felt good to have someone waiting for him at home. Not far away, Xiaohuan had already taken the initiative to help him prepare the food.
After drinking the water, Li Yi showed an imperceptible smile and strode over.

"Brother Qian, I see you are in a hurry, where are you going?"
"Ruyifang."
"Ruyifang...sounds a bit strange. Is it a newly opened brothel in Fucheng?"
"..."
"Brother Qian is not kind. Why don't you call me for such a good thing? Why don't we go together, just to see what this girl from Ruyifang is like..."
…………
On the streets of Qing'an Prefecture, when he heard the conversation between two scholar-like men passing by, Lao Fang curled his lips and muttered: "I'm right, this is obviously the name of the brothel. The second lady still doesn't believe it..."
Li Yi glanced at Lao Fang, who told him righteously at that time that no other shop name was suitable except Ruyi Fang. Several people rejected his proposal of "Liu Shen Fang" and their opinions were very unanimous.
I had no choice but to name the store "Ruyi Fang".
If it had been called "Liu Shenfang" at that time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have caused these misunderstandings, right?
Of course, the name Ruyifang is not without its advantages. At least it can attract a large number of men who don't know the truth. Li Yi is extremely suspicious in his heart that the original intention of those talented people who buy Ruyifang may really be just like the scholar just said.
…
Behind the two, the pretty faces of the four girls all had excited looks. They usually stayed in the village and rarely came to Fucheng. Many things here seemed to them full of novelty.
With these girls, Li Yi doesn't have to stay in the shop all the time. He can be a hands-off shopkeeper. When he has time, he can go to the hook bar next to him and listen to music. If he feels better, he should accept the invitation of those women. Everyone
Have a meal together and talk about life ideals... Come, be happy, you have a lot of time anyway...
There are already many people waiting at the entrance of Ruyifang.
Among these people, there were some who had placed orders before and came to pick up the goods today, and some who came here specially to place orders. Lao Fang was carrying a large bamboo basket on his back, which contained the latest batch of Ruyilu.
"The shopkeeper is here!"
"Shopkeeper, please open the door quickly. We have been waiting here for a long time."
"After picking up the goods, I have to go back to warm up my books..."
…………
Seeing Li Yi and Lao Fang approaching, the crowd immediately broke into a commotion.
"Everyone, don't rush. If the order says delivery today, please wait a moment over there. If you need to order, please come over here..." Li Yi could already handle these scenes easily. As he spoke,
The crowd immediately divided into two groups, lined up consciously, and stood in their respective areas.
"I said to the shopkeepers, can't you get more goods every day? Look at how many people are here, how can these not be enough?" A man couldn't help complaining when he found that his order had been queued up for several days.
As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused the resonance of everyone around him.
"Yes, shopkeeper, the daily supply is really too little!"
"I ordered two days ago and I just got it today..."
"What, two days ago? Did you jump in line? I ordered it seven days ago!"
Li Yi stretched out his hand, pressed down, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then explained: "Everyone doesn't know that the production of Ruyilu is quite complicated. We work day and night and can only produce dozens of bottles every day. If
If it’s more, I’m afraid the effectiveness will be reduced.”
Everyone was obviously very satisfied with this explanation. Ruyi Dew was a rare thing that had never been seen before, and it was normal for the production process to be cumbersome. No wonder it was sold so expensively for one tael of silver.
And this shopkeeper is obviously a conscientious businessman. In order not to reduce the efficacy of Ruyi Dew, he would rather make so much less money. He is really a model for other shops. For a moment, everyone looked at him in awe.
After a while, the customers who got the Ruyilu left with satisfaction. They placed the order and the people who could only pick up the goods in a few days were not too dissatisfied. After all, where could they find such a shopkeeper who only cares about them? It doesn't matter if they wait a few days.
As long as the quality of the goods is guaranteed, that's fine.
Seeing that there was not much left of the Ruyilu that he had just taken, and a thick stack of orders had accumulated on the counter, Lao Fang couldn't hide the silly smile on his face. He caught a glimpse of someone coming in at the door, and hurriedly walked over, "Sorry
, today’s Ruyilu has been sold out, if you haven’t made a reservation in advance, you can only place an order first and pick it up a few days later.”
"Are you the shopkeeper here?"
The person who came was a young man. He glanced sideways at Lao Fang. When he saw his clothes, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes and he said lightly.
"Didn't you hear the young master asking you, are you the shopkeeper here?" The two young men behind the young man saw that the old man didn't speak, so they glared at him and said.
Seeing the disdainful expression on the young man's face and the arrogant looks of the two people behind him, Lao Fang narrowed his eyes.
