After returning to the village, I first went to the workshop for making Ruyilu. The weather in autumn was a bit chilly, but inside the workshop, a few men were shirtless and working in full swing.
Although the daily work is very simple, they obviously don't find it boring, and they are full of energy at any time.
It's no wonder that here, what they do is not a tiring job, it's much easier than herding horses or doing farm work. Not only that, they also eat meat and drink every day, and sit on the kang with their mother-in-law and aunt at night Count the money, and hide the money after counting, when the interest comes, and then do something shameless, not to mention how nourishing the life is.
Li Yi stood outside the workshop, looked at it from a distance and was relieved that everything was normal, turned around and walked towards home.
Walking to the door, before stepping into the yard, I smelled a faint smell of food.
Xiaohuan went to the shop with him in the morning. Naturally, she didn't cook the food. Miss Liu Er—not to mention that she doesn't know how to cook, even if she cooked it, Li Yi might not dare to eat it.
In the past, it was Xiaohuan or cooking by herself. Li Yi subconsciously thought that the two sisters did not know how to cook. It was not until the last few days that she found out that Ruyi also had extraordinary cooking skills, and she even got a bit of her own Xiaohuan. Nothing compares.
Later, it was Xiaohuan who told him that the old master hadn't left before, when Xiaohuan and Second Miss were young, the eldest lady was always cooking, and most of Xiaohuan's cooking skills were learned from her.
If it was in later generations, she would probably be equivalent to the kind of girl who has a heaven-defying appearance, extraordinary cooking skills, a black belt in Taekwondo but has a good temper, the goddess in the hearts of countless men, and of course Li Yi's ideal type.
But at that time, he was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. I'm afraid that this kind of goddess level would not look at him with straight eyes.
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 road.
"My husband is back. After cleaning your hands, hurry up and eat." Li Yi had just stepped into the courtyard when a soft voice came over.
After living together for so long, Liu Ruyi is no longer surprised by Li Yi's habit of always washing his hands before eating.
During the recent period, Li Yi came back at this time almost every day. When he got home, the food was ready. It felt good that there was always someone waiting at home. After getting into the water, an imperceptible smile appeared on Li Yi's face, and he strode over.
…
…
"Brother Qian, I see you are in a hurry, where are you going?"
"Ruyifang."
"Ruyi Fang... sounds a little strange, is it a newly opened brothel in Fucheng?"
"..."
"Brother Qian is not kind, why don't you call my younger brother for such a good thing? Why don't you go together, just to see and see, how is this girl from Ruyifang..."
…
On the streets of Qing'an Mansion, hearing the conversation of two scholar-like men passing by, Lao Fang curled his lips and muttered, "I'm right, this is obviously the name of the brothel, and the second lady still doesn't believe it..."
Li Yi cast a glance at Lao Fang, and this guy told him righteously at the time that the name of the shop was inappropriate except for Ruyifang. Several people rejected his proposal of "Liushenfang", and their opinions were very unified. The store was named "Ruyifang" out of desperation.
If it was called "Liushenfang" at that time, I am afraid it would not 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 that the original intention of those talented people who buy Ruyilu may really be just like what the scholar said just now. …
Behind the two of them, the four young girls had excited expressions on their pretty faces. They were usually in the stockade and rarely came to Fucheng. Many things here were full of novelty in their eyes.
With these girls, Li Yi doesn't need to stay in the shop all the time, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper, and when he has time, he can go to the hook bar next to him to listen to the music, feel better, and accept the invitations of those girls, everyone Let's have a meal together and talk about your ideals in life... Come on, be happy, I have a lot of time anyway...
At the gate of Ruyifang, there are already many people waiting.
Among these people, some had placed an order before and came to pick up the goods today, and some came to place the order specially. Lao Fang carried a big bamboo basket on his back, which contained the latest batch of Ruyilu.
"The shopkeeper is here!"
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and open the door, we have been waiting here for a long time."
"After picking up the goods, I have to go back to review the book..."
…
Seeing Li Yi and Lao Fang approaching, there was a commotion in the crowd immediately.
"Everyone, please don't squeeze. If the order says delivery today, please wait there for a while. If you need to place an order, please come here..." Li Yi can already easily cope with these scenes. With his words, the crowd They immediately divided into two groups, lined up consciously, and stood in their respective areas.
"I'm talking about the shopkeeper, can't you get more goods every day? Look at the number of people here, this is not enough!" A man found that his order had been queued for several days, and couldn't help complaining.
As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused the sympathy of everyone around him.
"Yes, shopkeeper, the daily supply is really too small!"
"I ordered two days ago and I just got it today..."
"What, two days ago? Did you jump in line, I ordered seven days ago!"
Li Yi stretched out his hand, pressed it down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then explained: "Everyone doesn't know, the production of this Ruyilu is quite cumbersome. We rush to work day and night, and we can only produce dozens of bottles a day. If If there are more, I am afraid that the efficacy will be reduced.”
Everyone was obviously very satisfied with this explanation. Ruyilu is a rare thing that has never been seen before, and it is normal that the production process is cumbersome. No wonder it is so expensive for a tael of silver.
And this shopkeeper is obviously a conscientious merchant. In order not to reduce the efficacy of Ruyilu, he would rather earn so much less money. He is really a model for other shops. For a while, everyone looked at him with admiration.
After a while, the customers who got the Ruyilu were satisfied and left. After placing the order, the people who could pick up the goods after a few days were not too dissatisfied. After all, where can I find such a shopkeeper who is all about them? As long as the quality of the goods is guaranteed.
Seeing that there was not much left of the Ruyilu that he had just taken down, and a thick stack of orders had accumulated on the counter, the silly smile on Lao Fang's face could not be concealed, and he saw someone coming in at the door, and hurried over, "Sorry , Today’s Ruyilu has been sold out, if you haven’t ordered in advance, you can only place an order first, and come back to pick up the goods in a few days.”
"Are you the shopkeeper here?"
The person who came was a young man. He cast a sideways glance at Lao Fang, saw his clothes, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and 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 hadn't spoken, and said with a glare at him.
Seeing the disdainful expression on the young man's face and the arrogance of the two behind him, Lao Fang's eyes narrowed.
These people, the visitors are not good...
