Prince Ning's Mansion has no shortage of manpower or money. Young Prince Li Xuan only needs to use his words to handle all matters, and the people below will naturally handle them properly.
However, building a workshop, making distillation equipment, purchasing raw materials, and providing simple training to the workshop workers cannot be completed in a day or two, but will require at least a few days of preparation.
With sufficient funds and manpower, the production of spirits can also be put on the agenda at the same time, and alcohol distillation only has a simple purification process, which is simpler than the production of Ruyilu, but the profit is not the same.
This world also has an extremely long wine culture. From princes and nobles to ordinary people, they regard it as an important drink in their daily lives.
The reason why Li Yi has not launched spirits is because the cost of this thing is too high. After buying a jar of low-concentration wine and distilling it, there is not much left. Several large jars of wine are distilled into small jars.
Although the price is more expensive than the original total, Li Yi doesn't have much financial resources at present and cannot afford such a money-burning effort.
Li Xuan is different. He is stupid, has a lot of money, and has a strong background. Although he is a bit unreliable, his temperament is quite compatible with Li Yi, so it is perfect to cooperate with him.
After dinner, Liu Ruyi did not stay in the shop for long before she left with Xiaohuan and the others. What Lao Fang was worried about did not happen, and the second lady acted as if nothing had happened.
However, this made him feel even more uneasy.
According to the temperament of the second young lady, if she knew that her uncle actually had some evil thoughts about her, I am afraid that my uncle would not be able to stand here properly.
But she didn't respond at all. Could it be that there was really some ulterior secret between the two of them?
Lao Fang felt that he could no longer think about it. This matter was so involved that it was far beyond his control.
The house affairs of the uncle and the eldest lady should be left to them themselves...
After struggling for a long time, Lao Fang finally stopped embarrassing himself.
Li Yi didn't know that the thoughts in Lao Fang's mind had changed a thousand times. It was boring to stay in the yard all the time and bask in the sun. He told Lao Fang to take good care of the shop. He slowly walked out of the shop and stood on the street. He heard something not far away.
Among the hooks and railings, the faint singing voice of "May we live forever, and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away..." could be heard. Li Yi was stunned and looked over.
…………
After a while, in the hook bar next to Ruyifang, a young man chose a remote location and sat down. The singer on the stage was singing "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" with a melodious voice. The young man curled his lips and said,
I faintly heard words like "no authorization" and "copyright fees" coming from his mouth, and waved to the guy not far away.
"Sir, what do you need?" The waiter hurried over and said with a smile on his face.
"A pot of tea."
"Okay, sir, wait a moment, tea will be here soon."
The waiter responded, and not long after, he brought the tea.
Li Yi took a sip of tea, and when he looked up again, the singer on the stage had already retreated, and several women were dancing on top, with their sleeves flying, which was quite beautiful.
There were a lot of cheers from the seats under the stage. Seeing his interest, he took out a few copper coins from his arms and threw them up.
Coins were thrown at the dancers, but they didn't dodge, and they seemed to have become accustomed to it.
Li Yi watched the dance on the stage with great interest. This kind of dance full of classical elegance looked very eye-catching. At least in his opinion, it was better than those in the Bangzi Kingdom in later generations who showed their navel and thighs and posed on the stage.
The so-called dance is more than a thousand times better.
The behavior of the following audience members was a bit vulgar and disgraced the scenery. However, in this era, the status of actors and actresses was extremely low. Although many people liked to watch their performances, deep down in their hearts, they looked down on these actors.
This is different from the stars of later generations. They are all actors. One is so miserable, and the other is like a star over the moon. I wonder if these seniors know the treatment of actors in later generations, should they feel relieved or lament?
…………
The Goulan here is equivalent to a theater in later generations, focusing on drama, song, and dance. It is one of the few entertainment venues for people living at the bottom of society. Li Yi also came here to watch singing and dancing and listen to theater when he was bored.
Get a feel for the entertainment activities of people in this world.
In the past, he naturally had no interest in these things. The entertainment activities in the 21st century are so advanced. When he is bored, he can choose to watch movies and surf the Internet. Unfortunately, here, there are only a few ways to entertain himself, so he can only make do with it.
That's enough.
Pay ten cents at the door and you can stay here for a whole day and watch as many programs as you want. Of course, other expenses here have to be calculated separately.
There were about a hundred or ten seats among the hooks, and most of them were not full at this time. Li Yi drank a cup of tea for about half an hour, during which two songs and dances were performed on the stage, an opera, and the songs and dances were acceptable. As for the opera,
It was really boring, and after a while, Li Yi lost all interest.
I thought that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would open a theater like this and let the singers sing pop songs, stop singing the lyrics, stop singing those boring plays, and perform the White Snake Journey to the West and so on.
, there are still some interesting things to see.
Rich people seem to like this. They buy a few actors and actresses to perform exclusively for themselves. If nothing happens, they can also engage in unspoken rules and so on. Just thinking about it makes people envious...
…………
"Sister Wan, they are coming down soon, what are you going to sing this time, "Magpie Bridge Immortal"?" Behind the stage, a girl in her fifteenth or sixteenth year asked the gentle woman beside her with a pretty face flushed.
"Sister Gaiwan is on the stage? Then we can receive a lot of rewards!" Another girl said with a smile.
"Sister Wan sang beautifully, so they will naturally reward her with more money..." The girl rolled her eyes at her, looked forward, and immediately said: "They are finished, sister Wan, hurry up."
The gentle woman smiled, and after the opera singers came out from the last performance, she slowly walked in.
At the same time, Li Yi, who had no interest in reading anymore, stood up from his seat, paid for his tea, and walked outside.
Just as he walked out of the door, a burst of enthusiastic shouts suddenly broke out among the hooks. Li Yi paused in his steps. When he wanted to look back, he turned his eyes and found that many people had gathered at the door of Ruyifang next to him.
They were all standing around and pointing.
Li Yi frowned slightly and walked over quickly.
[The second update is expected to be very late. I am a little unsure about the subsequent plot. It has taken several hours to write a chapter these days. I hope the situation can be adjusted soon...]
