Li Mu looked at Bai Nao'er, sighed, and said to Huang Qi: "My father-in-law has been working hard these days, and I occasionally felt cold today. I couldn't bear for him to continue to work hard, so I asked him to go home and rest for a while. From now on, Shopkeeper Huang will
Please work harder. Everything that my father-in-law was responsible for before will be handed over to Qian Dahai. If you have anything to do, just tell him."
Huang Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed in agreement. Bai Nao'er became anxious upon hearing this and was about to tell that he was not suffering from the cold. When he raised his head and met Li Mu's eyes, he immediately suppressed the words that came to his lips.
Li Mu continued to say to Huang Qi: "Shopkeeper Huang, please arrange a carriage to take my father-in-law back to Zhuangzi."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Huang Qi responded, turned around and went out. Li Mu waved his hand, and Li Chongyi and others also withdrew.
Li Mu came to Bai Nao'er, neither beating him nor scolding him, but asked: "My father-in-law, are you really short of that little money?"
Bai Nao'er raised his head and looked at Li Mu, murmured for a long time, and then summoned up the courage to say: "Xian son-in-law, I am not short of money... But who thinks it is too much money? I have two children in total, Qiaoqiao followed you
, I can’t use it all in my life, but my family roots...he is a fool, if I don’t save a fortune for him, what will I do in the future?”
"I am his brother-in-law, how can I miss out on his food and clothing?"
Bai Nao'er lowered his head, then raised it again, and said: "But your surname is Li after all, and his surname is Bai after all. You are his brother-in-law, so you can take care of him. But what about the next generation? Our Bai family has to pass it on.
What..."
Li Mu frowned, he couldn't refute these words, it was true.
"Since I came to Chang'an, my dear son-in-law, you have helped me a lot. You gave me the land, and you also gave me half of the profits of this winery... I know what you mean. I rarely go to Qiaoqiao when it's okay. I know.
You can't stand it." After a pause, Bai Nao'er said again: "Xian son-in-law, if it weren't for my own inability, who would want to wait for others to feed me? This winery doesn't need me, I have nothing to do, and when I'm confused...
...Wrong is definitely wrong. You can beat or scold your virtuous son-in-law, and I don’t have a problem with him."
Li Mu felt quite uncomfortable seeing Bai Nao'er like this, and even felt a little pitiful for him. His perception of Bai Nao'er actually went through three stages.
When he first met Bai Nao'er, due to the remaining memories of Li Mu in his mind and what Bai Nao'er did at that time, Li Mu hated Bai Nao'er. At that time, he even thought about killing this person with a knife at night. However,
After calming down, he did not do that. At that time, he and Bai Qiaoqiao were not in a relationship, but Bai Qiaoqiao's dedication and care for Sun over the years were enough to deserve the word "kindness". Bai Qiaoqiao
It happened that he was the benefactor of the Li family. Since Li Mu inherited the body of the original Li Mu, he could not ignore this friendship. So when Sun's health got better, he decided to move to avoid Bai Nao'er. Since he could not repay kindness with enmity, how could he avoid it?
I'll just go to the head office. I'll forget about him again in this life.
When they met again in Dingxiang, Li Mu's perception of Bai Naoer changed again. Because at that time, he had already recognized his feelings for Bai Qiaoqiao, and his kindness was added to his affection. Bai Naoer did not care about bad things, he
He is Bai Qiaoqiao's biological father. No matter how much Bai Qiaoqiao says she hates this biological father, with her kind nature, it is impossible for her to do anything to hurt her biological father. People cannot choose their original family.
Li Mu chose to tolerate Bai Nao'er and promised him to be the shopkeeper. It had nothing to do with how he viewed Bai Nao'er, because he didn't want Bai Qiaoqiao to be in a dilemma.
Later, when he came to Chang'an, Li Mu was granted the title of Marquis. By this time, Li Mu no longer hated Bai Nao'er because the gap between him and Bai Nao'er was too big. When Bai Nao'er saw him, they compared each other with each other.
This time I was even more trembling. I no longer had the arrogance of the past. I didn't dare to plot against him, didn't dare to make demands, and didn't even dare to talk to him.
This feeling is a bit like when Li Mu was in the orphanage in his previous life, he was often beaten by the old man with a broom. At that time, he regarded the old man as his life-long enemy. He wished he could grow up one day and find this old man to give him a good show.
He also had a taste of broomsticks. But when he really grew up and returned to the orphanage, he saw the old man working the clock and didn't want to do anything to him. The lifelong enemy of his childhood, as he got older
The growth has turned into a joke.
It's also a bit like when he first joined the game company, he was always made things difficult by the leader of the newbie training team. At that time, Li Mu also hated this team leader, but two years later, that team leader was still the head of the newbie training team, and he was already the leader of the newbie training team.
He became a rising star in the company, enjoyed the treatment of deputy director, and was a strong competitor for the position of director. At this time, Li Mu's hatred for the team leader was almost gone, because the status gap between the two parties widened, and the leader of the newcomer training team
The leader can no longer influence him. At this time, if he turns around and makes things difficult for the team leader, it will appear that he is too narrow-minded, and it is unnecessary. If he does that, it will be seen by the company's senior management, and it will
You may think that his status is too low, that he will be punished for his anger, and that he cannot be cultivated.
This is basically what Li Mu said to Bai Nao'er. He didn't want revenge, but he just hoped that Bai Nao'er would cause him less trouble. For this reason, it didn't matter whether he gave up some land or money, because he was Bai Qiaoqiao's
Dear father, Li Mu is willing to spend this money to buy purity.
Even though something like this happened today, Li Mu was actually not angry. He just felt helpless. After hearing what Bai Nao'er said, he felt that Bai Nao'er was also a little pitiful. Somehow, a sentence he saw in his previous life popped up in his mind.
Quotes from a TV series.
"What about the shape of your hair you used to have? You need to straighten up your hair!"
Thinking of this sentence, Li Mu suddenly felt like laughing again.
"Okay, I won't blame you, I won't say anything to you, and I won't take back your half-profit. Go home and rest for a few days. Don't you just want to make some money on your own? I'll find some for you in a few days.
Things to do.”
"Really?" Bai Naoer thought he heard wrongly and his eyes widened.
Li Mu made a serious face and said, "It would be a lie if I ask again."
"I won't ask, I won't ask. Thank you, my virtuous son-in-law, thank you so much!" Bai Naoer smiled happily, bowed to Li Mu repeatedly, and stepped back out. Li Mu shook his head helplessly, sat down on the chair again, held his temples and gently
I was rubbing it, I was in a good mood, but after being disturbed by such trouble, my head really hurt.
Li Bi entered the house and saw Li Mu rubbing his head and said, "My dear nephew, are you angry about your father-in-law?"
When Li Mu saw Li Bi, he quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Second uncle, my father-in-law has caused you trouble. You should have told me if something like this happened."
How could Li Bi make him really bow down? He helped him up without bending his waist. The two of them sat down. Li Bi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. You are busy every day and you are not an outsider. How can you do that?"
It distracts you. Besides, it doesn’t affect business.”
"It's wrong. I've already told my father-in-law that he will never get involved in the wine shop again."
Li Bi was a smart man and did not show any joy or dissuade him. He just said: "Don't make your father-in-law unhappy. After all, he is your elder."
Li Mu nodded and said: "I know it well...Second Uncle, I came here this time because of other things. A friend from Dingxiang came to Chang'an to sell furs, and he will be leaving tomorrow and the day after.
I wanted to buy some wine to take back, and I agreed, eighty jars in total."
"Of course there is no problem with your friend." Li Bi agreed happily and said, "Just send someone to come over for this matter, why bother to go all the way."
"One more thing." Li Mu clapped his hands, and Li Chongyi came in from outside with a jar of Zhuangyuanhong in his hand. Li Bi took it and patted the seal, put his nose up to smell it, and praised: "Good wine, good taste.
!”
When he lowered his head and looked again, he saw that the wine was red in color, and he was surprised: "What kind of wine is this? It's so red?"
"This wine is called Zhuangyuanhong, and it is an improved version of yellow wine. I recently heard someone in Chang'an City slandering me, saying that Bashang Winery only makes wine for reckless men, so I wanted them to see how it compares to yellow wine. They
You have to be willing to accept the defeat."
Li Bi smiled and said: "Why bother arguing with villains? But it's not arrogance. This wine is no less good than any other rice wine."
Li Bi is Li Ji's younger brother. With the background of Cao Guogong's palace, he doesn't have to taste any wine he has never drunk before. He just sees this wine and knows it in his heart.
"My dear nephew, when you brought this wine, did you intend to mass-produce it?"
"Yes, I have brought the koji and immediately built a special production line to produce this wine. Since rice wine needs to undergo secondary fermentation, the time to brew this wine is longer than three cups. The result of my experiment is
It’s almost twice as long, so the yield will be lower, and rice wine uses more ingredients than white wine. All things considered, this kind of wine is priced more expensive.”
"How much more expensive?"
"I plan to sell this wine for ten cups per jar and three cups for one pot."
Li Bi took a breath of air-conditioning, but he did not ask if he could sell such a thing. The last time he set the price for three cups, he said such a thing. Facts have proved that his judgment was wrong. Smart people will not make two mistakes.
It was the same mistake again. Since Li Mu dared to set such a price, he must have already thought about how to sell it. Just listen.
"The Supreme Emperor's heaven and earth in Chongrenfang will open at the end of the month. My adoptive father must have mentioned this to my second uncle."
Li Bi nodded, this matter is no longer a secret, it's just that everyone has a tacit agreement not to reveal it.
Li Mu smiled slightly, pointed to the Zhuangyuan Red wine jar, and said, "This wine is going to be sold to the students there."
"So that's it!" Li Bi suddenly realized, no wonder he was called Zhuangyuanhong, it turned out to be this idea. After the Chinese New Year is the imperial examination, the Emperor's Heaven and Earth will open at the end of the month. It is said that the consumption is not low, and only one out of ten people can go in and spend.
Nine of them must be children of aristocratic families. The imperial examination is about to take place. How can they not go there and show their faces? If the poems they write are chosen by the emperor or the emperor, it doesn't matter even if they fail in the imperial examination.
At this time, there was a kind of wine called Zhuangyuanhong for sale. Even if there were ten jars of wine, they had to buy one jar to try it!
After thinking about this, Li Bi burst out laughing and said, "My wise nephew is so clever. It seems that our winery is going to make a lot of money again!"
