Chapter 13 Keep a Jar and Don't Sell it
The Qiuyue Pavilion remains as usual.
Tong Zhihuan, who once offended the master, is now a medicine boy in Tongji Hall, responsible for getting medicine for her father and learning medical skills at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, I've grown up a lot.
The naivety on his face has faded away, and he has become much more sensible. He no longer has the naughty nature of the past.
But when she had free time occasionally, Tong Zhihuan would often go to the bridge of Qiuyue Archway to have a look.
Only he himself knows exactly what she is looking at.
It's just that I want to see if I can still meet that gentleman.
It's a pity that I haven't seen it yet.
Besides, Old Man Zhang now has a son, Xiao Liu, who is taken in by a tavern. Xiao Liu is quite grateful and treats Old Man Zhang as his own father.
Since then, all the affairs of the tavern have been handled by Xiao Liu. From brewing wine to selling and selling it, everything has been managed by Xiao Liu.
Old Zhang also taught him the last bit of his knowledge.
It has to be said that Xiao Liu has indeed put in a lot of effort and even made some improvements, which has elevated the flavor of the Autumn Moon Brew to a new level.
When the wine is good, more people will be attracted.
By chance, when students from Anning County came to Qiuyuefang for a field trip, they tasted this Qiuyuefang wine and exclaimed that it was a good wine. They composed a poem to praise this wine.
After returning, Qiu Yue Niang also gained a reputation.
After hearing about it, people from both near and far came one after another. Anyone who had tasted this Autumn Moon brew could say nothing bad about it.
The autumn moon wine in the tavern was in short supply. Xiao Liu also got busy, and the amount of wine he needed to brew each year increased several times over. When the time came, he would put it up for sale, but the result was still not enough.
Xiao Liu doesn't care anymore. He'll sell as much as he can brew each year and just do his best.
Despite the fact that Qiuyue Liquor is in high demand, Xiao Liu still keeps a jar of it for sale before each opening.
Although Old Zhang no longer cared about the business of the tavern, he would still brew a jar every year and do it in his own way.
Xiao Liu said that he had already reserved wine for his husband and asked the shopkeeper why he was still going to the trouble.
Old Man Zhang, however, told him.
I'm afraid you won't get used to it, Sir. '
It makes sense. No matter how good the wine is, it is far from as good as it was in the past.
"According to the usual practice of previous years, Sir Should be coming in half a month. Little Six, if you see you, you mustn't be casual. Do you understand?" "
"Sure, don't worry, shopkeeper."
"Um."
...
During these three years of spiritual refinement, Chen Changsheng would from time to time withdraw from the state of spiritual refinement.
To his delight, he could actually feel that he was about to "wake up".
This was something he had never noticed before.
In the field among the woods, suddenly there were grains of sand gathering from all directions.
The sand and gravel gathered and piled up, transforming into human forms.
However, in the blink of an eye, the grains of sand seemed to melt out of their skin, and then a plain long gown appeared.
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes. What came into view was a sea of rice fields.
He paused for a moment and looked at the endless rice fields in front of him.
It seems that I woke up a little earlier than before.
Chen Changsheng's breathing became rapid.
Spiritual practice can really lift curses!!
His gaze turned into the distance, and in an instant, his divine consciousness spread out, sensing the direction of the Autumn Moon Pavilion.
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and quickly withdrew his divine consciousness.
His lips parted slightly, showing indescribable surprise.
"Divine consciousness?"
Chen Changsheng was startled for a moment. He tried again.
After three years of cultivating his spirit, he can now cover an area of more than twenty miles around him.
There must be other uses besides consciousness.
Chen Changsheng looked at the tree in the distance and suddenly had an idea.
With a thought, he concentrated his energy on that tree.
He wanted to try to see if he could shake the tree through his divine consciousness.
However, the next moment.
A huge force struck the tree.
"kaka....."
The tree shook violently and then fell with a thud, breaking in two with a loud crash.
"This..."
Chen Changsheng withdrew his divine consciousness and his eyes widened.
He just wanted to give it a gentle bump...
It actually broke down right away! ?
Chen Changsheng's throat rolled and he murmured, "So, what realm have I reached exactly?"
He looked at the broken tree and couldn't help swallowing hard.
It's a bit terrifying.
...
A carriage stopped in front of the tavern.
Soon, an old man in a long gown got off the carriage. Xiao Liu knew him. He was the steward of the neighboring Fangyun Mansion and often came here to buy Autumn Moon wine.
The butler of the Yun Mansion walked in, followed by two or three cooks, and said, "Young master, my master is celebrating his birthday the day after tomorrow. Please bring fifteen jars of Autumn Moon wine."
Xiao Liu came forward to greet him, paused for a moment and said, "Fifteen jars! I wonder if there are still that many."
The butler of the Yun Mansion paused for a moment and said, "Nothing left?"
Xiao Liu explained, "The Qiu Yue wine has been selling extremely well in the past two years. You know that. I even hired a helper to help. The wine doubles every year, but it's still not enough to sell."
"It doesn't matter. Just fill as much as you have. If it doesn't work out, I'll fill a few more jars of other wine."
"Ok."
Xiao Liu nodded and said, "Come and move with me into the cellar."
I counted and found that there were only twelve jars of Autumn Moon wine left in the cellar.
The butler of the Yun Mansion didn't pay much attention either and ordered a few servants to start moving the wine.
At this moment, Xiao Liu said, "Manager Rong, among these twelve jars, you must reserve one for me."
"Huh?" Manager Rong paused for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Xiao Liu said, "It's not that I deliberately refused to sell you. Since the early years, the last jar of Autumn Moon wine in the tavern has always been kept. This is the rule set by the old shopkeeper."
"Please excuse me, Manager Rong."
Seeing that Xiao Liu was very sincere, Manager Rong didn't make things difficult for him and said, "I'm not making things difficult for you either. It's just that you need to bring a few jars of good wine. Otherwise, I won't be able to report it when I get back, will I?"
Xiao Liu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry. It's definitely not bad!"
Meanwhile.
A pair of soap boots stepped into the tavern.
Seeing that there was no one in the tavern, Chen Changsheng muttered, "Is there nobody here?"
He saw several fellows in the backyard hurrying to carry wine all the way to the carriage outside the door.
There must be someone. It's probably the shopkeeper who's busy.
Chen Changsheng didn't shout either. He just sat down and waited.
A moment later, Xiao Liu and Manager Rong returned to the tavern from the backyard.
Xiao Liu turned his head and saw Chen Changsheng sitting at the table.
He paused slightly and called out, "Sir!"
"Sir, when did you come? Why are you calling me? Sir, you are just sitting here idly. Isn't this a disrespectful act to you?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "What's the point of being negligent or not? I just sat down. Besides, aren't you busy right now? By the way, where's Old Zhang?" Aren't you in the tavern? "
Xiao Liu was overjoyed in his heart and even forgot about the butler Rong beside him.
"Shopkeeper, he must have gone to the opera now," he said.
Manager Rong looked at the gentleman. At this glance, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
To be honest, this gentleman should be the most elegant one he has ever seen.
Out of the dust!!
Yes, the clothes are not stained with the slightest trace of dust, and there is also an air of refinement in the eyes and brows. It must be extraordinary!
I never thought he would be so laid-back now.
Chen Changsheng placed the gourd on the table and said, "Forget about it. Take a pot of Autumn Moon wine and fill it up."
"All right, Sir. Please wait for a moment. I'll call you right away."
Xiao Liu picked up the gourd and was about to go to the wine cellar to fetch some wine.
Manager Rong, however, stopped Xiao Liu and asked, "Wait a moment!"
"Hey, little shopkeeper, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say to keep one jar and not sell it?" "
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment and, holding the gourd, suddenly felt at a loss.
You have to explain it to me. Manager Rong frowned and said.
