Although the old beggar was a little treacherous, he was not evil-hearted, and at least he was not sold any fake goods.
Tang Ning threw all those secret books and mental techniques to Tang Yaoyao. What meridians and acupuncture points were too difficult for him to understand. It was better to wait until she had mastered them before leading him to fly together. This was the last step.
A time-saving and effort-saving approach.
The brewing workshop is ready-made, and the Tang family also has an idle workshop in Lingzhou, so even the rent can be saved. He and Tang Yaojing's money-making business has now officially entered the preparatory stage.
Although several master winemakers were skeptical about the brewing methods he provided, they still had expectations for those new theories. After brewing wine for a lifetime, they also very much hoped to make some breakthroughs.
After the preliminary preparations are done, all that's left is a long wait. By almost the end of next year, you should be able to drink the first batch of new wine.
By the time everything in the workshop was on track, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month.
At the beginning of the month, there was a snowfall in Lingzhou. Although it was not heavy, the temperature began to drop sharply after that.
The opening of Sanshu's breakfast shop was half an hour late in the morning, and the business of the shop was also affected to some extent. In the early morning of winter, few people were willing to come out early.
It snowed again last night. Tangning got up in the morning, picked up a broom, and swept the thin layer of snow in the yard to the corner. After a while of exercise, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the courtyard door, and Fang Xiaopang squeezed in from the outside, handed a food box to Tang Ning, then put his hand to his mouth, breathed hard for a few times, and then said, "I just bought it outside, while it's still hot.
Eat."
Tang Ning opened the food box, and the steamed buns inside were still steaming.
The weather was very cold. Although Fang Xiaopang's little hands were red from the cold, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his hair stuck to his temples. He had run around Fang's house a few times just now.
In just two months, she has lost a lot of weight. Of course, she is still much fatter than a girl of her normal age, but compared with her two months ago, she is completely different.
Her perseverance and persistence greatly exceeded Tang Ning's expectations.
Since the last assassination incident, the Fang family has tightened their supervision on her. The number of guards around her has increased several times, and the time she can go out has been restricted.
She sat in the courtyard for a while, and then Tang Ning sent her back.
He carried two jars of wine in his hand. These days, he promised the old beggar one jar every three days, and he has never failed.
Since the snow fell in the twelfth lunar month and the temperature dropped sharply, beggars have become rare on the streets. When the weather is cold in winter, they usually choose to use ruined temples or cave dwellings outside the city as shelter to resist the cold. But even so, every winter,
There are also many beggars who have frozen to death and starved to death in Lingzhou.
Liu Laoer used part of the Beggar Gang's start-up capital to gather the beggars in the city and built a shack outside the city. Although the shack was simple, it could provide shelter from wind and rain. All disciples of the Beggar Gang could stay there, and each person would be able to stay there every day.
You can also receive two bowls of white porridge and two steamed buns.
The old beggar did not join the Beggar Clan. The severe cold weather did not seem to have any effect on him. In fact, he seemed to be in better spirits than before. When Tang Ning came over, he was sitting under the eaves of his third uncle's shop and taking a nap.
Before Tang Ning could get closer, his eyes opened suddenly, grinned, and said happily: "It's an hour early today..."
Tang Ning handed him two jars of wine. After the old beggar took it, he said in surprise: "Why are there two jars today? How embarrassing..."
After saying that, he hid a jar behind his back, opened it, took a rather drunken sip, and said, "It feels so good to take such a sip on a cold day!"
Tang Ning looked at him and reminded: "Senior, please drink sparingly from these two jars of wine. Once you finish drinking it, it will be gone."
"What?" The old beggar was shocked when he heard this. He looked at him and asked: "After drinking it, it's gone. You won't give it to me anymore. You promised it at the beginning. The pig butcher can testify. Scholars don't lie.
Do you want to regret it?"
"That's a monk."
"It's the same anyway..."
"I said at the beginning that as long as I am in Lingzhou, I can always give seniors drinks like this." Tang Ning looked at him and explained, "But in half a month, I will leave Lingzhou and go to the capital.
There’s no way I can give seniors wine anymore.”
Tang Ning originally planned to wait until the Lantern Festival was over before setting off, but it was said that this winter, it snowed heavily in several states and the roads were difficult to travel. In order to prevent delays in the trip, his father-in-law asked him to set off immediately after the New Year.
All in all, he only had half a month to stay in Lingzhou.
"Going to the capital?" The old beggar put down the wine jar, looked at him and asked: "If you don't wait in Lingzhou, what are you going to do in the capital? Your father-in-law has been promoted?"
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Go to the capital to take the exam."
"What's the good thing about being an official? It's better to be a beggar than to be a beggar if you have to tie your hands and tail, and look forward and backward..." The old beggar shook his head and said, looked at him and asked: "Where did you buy your wine?"
"I didn't buy it." Tang Ning shook her head and said, "This is a secret not to be told. I promised others not to tell other people. But seniors, don't worry. A year later, there will be new wine for sale in Lingzhou, and it will be better than what I gave you.
Yours is stronger and more mellow, you just have to wait patiently."
"One year?" The old beggar stared at him and asked, "What will I drink in this year?"
Tangning looked at him and said in surprise: "What did I drink before? What do I drink now? Isn't Manna White not bad?"
"I'm used to your wine. Now I'd rather drink water than nectar!" The old beggar looked at him and suddenly said: "Why don't you sell me your secret technique? I'll trade it with you for the leg technique."
There are boxing techniques, sword techniques and sword techniques..."
"Scholars don't lie and promise things to others, so how can they break their promises?" Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Moreover, this secret method involves business secrets and must not be passed on to others. Seniors, please bear with it for a year."
"If you have to endure it for a year..., you might as well let me die!" The old beggar scratched his messy hair. After thinking about it, he looked at Tangning and suddenly said, "I have a way. You don't have to sell me the secret method."
, I have wine to drink, the best of both worlds..."
Tangning looked at him and asked, "What can we do?"
The old beggar immediately said: "You go to the capital, and I will follow you to the capital. I don't want your secret method, so just give me a jar of wine every few days as you did before!"
Tangning looked embarrassed: "But I have to review my books and prepare for the provincial exam, so I'm afraid I won't have time..."
The old beggar followed up and said: "I'm not taking advantage of you for nothing. If you have any questions about martial arts in your daily life, you can just ask me. If I'm in a good mood, I'll teach you some unique moves. What do you think?"
Tangning thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it..."
"What are you still thinking about? There are countless people in the martial arts world who want to get my advice, but I don't even look at them..." The old beggar struck while the iron was hot and said quickly: "I promise that I will never disturb your study!"
Being addicted to anything is not a good thing. A generation of martial arts masters can break the bottom line just for the sake of wine. It’s terrible...
Tang Ning originally didn't want to go to such trouble, but she couldn't resist such an old man's pleading. After thinking for a long time, she nodded and reluctantly said, "Okay then..."
The old beggar immediately stretched out his palm: "High-five!"
Tangning slapped his palms together, sighed, shook her head and left.
…
"The beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the three-day moon, the spring rain is like wine, and the willows are like smoke..."
When she returned to the house again, the depression on Tangning's face had long disappeared, and she walked into the courtyard humming a light tune.
Tang Yaoyao was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, her head lowered and her face sullen, obviously not in a good mood.
Tangning stepped into the yard and pulled back again.
At this time, the Tang Fairy must not be provoked. It is best to hide as far away as possible.
"return!"
Hearing the sound in her ears, Tang Ning stepped back in with her retracted foot, walked to her side, and asked, "What's wrong? Is your mindset wrong? I'll go find that old beggar..."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said, "My father plans to agree to the Bai family's marriage proposal."
Rich Man Tang is not planning to marry his daughter this time, but to recruit a son-in-law. This Bai family is really willing to embrace the Tang family's lap.
But it’s normal to think about it. Rich Man Tang only has such a precious daughter, and the Tang family’s huge fortune will definitely be left to her in the end.
Anyone who marries her will not only get a fair-skinned, beautiful wife with long legs and a slender waist, but also the Tang family's rich wealth. This kind of good thing is something that even Tang Ning can't control if she thinks about it.
This is the real way to win Bai Fumei, be the CEO, reach the pinnacle of life casually, marry Miss Tang, and save a lifetime of struggle. Ordinary people will laugh out of their dreams when they encounter such a good thing.
Tang Yaoyao looked up at him and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing..." Tangning shook her head, patted her chest, and promised, "Don't worry, your marriage will be taken care of by me."
