"Sir, I'm not sure about what you're asking about. Why don't you wait for the shopkeeper to come over later and ask again?"
Qu Qingning scratched his head and smiled. There was a layer of cold sweat behind his back. If Su Li hadn't reminded him, he would have almost found other excuses to excuse himself, but if he did that, it would not be consistent with his status as a waiter in the store. The old woman's questions seemed simple, but in fact they were full of traps that were hard to guard against!
"Ouch! Look at my brain... Brother, go down and do your work."
The fat landlady said politely, her guard slightly slackened, and she let go of the poor scholar's hand without leaving a trace.
"Madam, be careful, the wine almost spilled..."
The poor scholar complained pitifully, and finally got his wish and took his first sip of wine.
As soon as the spicy wine entered his throat, a strong warmth flowed through his stomach. The poor scholar let out a sigh happily, his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and he had an air of being drunk even if he was not drunk.
How many years have passed... Ever since I entered the innate world, the wine in the secular world has been difficult to drink. It is so bland and tasteless that it is unbearable. I heard that there is spiritual wine in the real spiritual world. Ordinary people in the secular world can prolong their lives with a sip. Warriors not only enjoy it, but also enjoy it. It can also improve your cultivation.
But that kind of spiritual wine is a rare thing even in the real spirit world. He and his wife may not have the financial resources to buy it even if they don't follow the world of mortals.
But he didn't expect that in his seventh year of seclusion in Yunjing, he would encounter some good wine that he could drink! He is a good drinker, so such a surprise is no less than finding a rare treasure!
The proprietress was sipping sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice while eating snacks. She looked elegant and moved cheerfully, which was completely opposite to her rugged appearance. It was obvious that she liked the delicious food and drinks very much.
The two of them ate their own food, and there was no communication on the surface, but secretly they communicated with each other.
"Madam, have you seen anything unusual?"
"Master, you can't even see it, what can I see?"
"The shopkeeper is a young girl. She looks no more than twenty years old and has no cultivation. The waiter's demeanor is also very natural. There doesn't seem to be anything weird. You were worried in vain the past few days..."
"That's hard to say. If they really want to hide it, they must have made complete preparations. It's too early to draw conclusions now!"
A luxurious winery suddenly appeared in a remote alley. It was very strange. The couple had been on guard for a long time. The scene this morning was just a scene they put on to investigate.
However, when the two of them came in to enjoy the delicious food and wine, they never expected that they would really be attracted by the food and wine at Linliju.
Halfway through the meal, the poor scholar puffed up his cheeks, sighed suddenly, and continued to speak: "Speaking of which, the wine in this shop is really delicious! The ones I brew are incomparable to Lihuo! I will drink it from now on. It’s impossible to live without strong fire wine!”
The fat proprietress glared at the poor scholar: "It's really hard to survive! The wine you make and the food I cook are not as good as Linliju! The business of the wine shop has gone bad, and we all have to drink the northwest wind! You still have to drink the northwest wind!" Are you thinking about drinking?"
The poor scholar was dumbfounded when he heard this. The lady was right, their wine shop and Lili House were rivals in the same industry!
Zhouyue Winery has been open for seven years and has accumulated many regular customers. Once Liliju opens, it will definitely attract a number of regular customers from wealthy families. Whether Zhouyue Winery can still maintain its livelihood is a big question. !
Drinking wine one by one, the poor scholar became more and more sad. When he drank the last drop of wine in the glass, his face was full of sadness.
After finally hiding his name in Yunjing, he didn't want to fail in the last three years and have to tighten his belt and drink in the next three years? Don’t even think about it!
The fat landlady was used to thrifting, so she cleared the food and wine on the table. Then she got up and walked to the counter, put down ten taels of silver, and said with a smile: "It's just a small amount of money, but it's not respectful. When the shopkeeper opens his new store, the money will be used as a gift." Come on! I wish your store a prosperous business!"
Yin Xuetong quickly stood up and thanked her: "With your kind words, I would like to thank you on my husband's behalf."
The fat boss lady smiled when she heard this, turned around and waved: "Let's go, boss!"
The poor scholar stood up hurriedly, followed his wife to the door, and did not forget to turn around and bow, as if he were a scholar.
Su Li watched the two of them leave, a smile gradually appearing on her face. After eating her food, you can't pay back with just ten taels of silver.
In her previous life, when Xuan Jingzhou was famous in Yunjing, she was still living a miserable life in the Su family. By the time she became a member of the martial arts world, Xuan Jingzhou was already dead. Although she had never seen with her own eyes how Xuan Jingzhou displayed his power, she had heard a lot about him from her husband's mouth.
In the previous life's battle to seize the rightful son, all the princes were forming cliques. In the end, the third prince was the most powerful, and the third prince had some good fortune. He was lucky enough to learn the news about Xuan Jingzhou, so he set up a game to defeat Xuan Jingzhou. I owed a favor and worked hard for him.
The so-called favor is not a big deal. Just like in this life, it is just a glass of wine. However, due to the shortcomings of the mortal world, Xuan Jingzhou had to agree to the third prince's request.
Later, the third prince failed to seize the throne, and Xuan Jingzhou was also buried in Yunjing. According to the wish of the crippled husband, he had the intention of seeking death in that battle, and deliberately left a broken queen. In the end, he died without a complete body, and he was buried underground. wife reunited.
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't hear her husband mention how the fat landlady died in her previous life. Now that she saw her real body, she found that the landlady's cultivation level was even higher than Xuan Jingzhou's.
One is at the eighth level of innateness, the other is at the ninth level of innateness...
This couple is a legendary existence in the martial arts world, but they died inexplicably in their previous life. You can get a glimpse of how deep and mixed the water is in Duodian.
In this life, she hurriedly took the Xuan family couple under her wing before everyone else, broke the wings of the third prince, and strengthened her own strength. However, she also knew that with this little background, she would not be able to survive in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. It's not enough to be prosperous.
Su Li sat in Linli House for a whole afternoon. There were more than ten drinkers attracted by the aroma of wine, but most of them were scared away by the terrifying price. Only two high-ranking guests ordered a pot of third-class fire wine. After drinking, he ordered a whole jar of second-class fire wine to take away, so that Liliju would not be left with nothing.
"Tsk, tsk, I only earn two to three thousand taels a day, which is less than Qinghe County..."
The restaurant was deserted. Qu Qingning lay down next to Yin Xuetong and looked at the accounts. He couldn't help but sigh. Although he had known for a long time that Su Li's primary purpose of opening this restaurant was not to make money, it was really uncomfortable to earn so much in one day.
You must know that they spent more than 600,000 taels of silver to build the restaurant. How many days will it take to get back the money.
Yin Xuetong rolled her eyes and said, "Just be content. The road to Yunjing has just been paved. I believe Su Li will definitely do business in the future. You are just impetuous. Learn from Brother Fang and practice hard." , he is one year older than you and he is born with it, but you are only at the ninth level, isn't it embarrassing?"
Qu Qingning scratched his head and said bitterly: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Compared with that lunatic, Fang Yuan is even crazier than before. At my age, am I still embarrassed at the ninth level of the day after tomorrow? It's 90% better than that." All the young talents are too embarrassed to be seen in public!"
Yin Xuetong snorted and whispered: "I only know that someone is getting more and more lazy these days. Be careful that one day even Fang Mu will surpass you!"
Qu Qingning smiled awkwardly and quickly promised that she would never do it again, "You must not tell Su Li about this, otherwise she won't know how to punish me..."
Yin Xuetong said "Oh" meaningfully and looked back. Qu Qingning was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He turned around suddenly but saw no one. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said: "Xue Tong!"
Yin Xuetong covered her mouth and snickered, pointing upward. Qu Qingning subconsciously raised his head and saw Su Li sitting next to the escalator above them. The anger on his face immediately turned into panic.
"Qu Qingning, since you like to sleep, and I have recently developed a pill that allows you to practice while sleeping, why don't you try it?"
Su Li raised her eyebrows and asked quietly. Although she was asking for advice, her tone was unquestionable. Qu Qingning's mouth was full of bitterness, and he knew that he had no right to refuse.
Su Li walked down the stairs slowly, walked over and bent down to glance at today's accounts, then turned around and patted Qu Qingning on the shoulder, "Qu Qingning, two years ago you practiced so hard at the Qu family, you were indeed hardworking and fast. But here... it doesn’t work!”
Su Li's tone became colder, "In the future, the enemies we will come into contact with will rarely be below the innate level! If you continue to be so lazy, you can only retreat from the main force and manage the accounts in Linli Residence. You will never have a chance to take action. If you can bear it, Just go on living a life of living an ignoble existence and leaving your destiny to other people. I will never say anything to you again."
Qu Qingning's expression changed, and his playful smile finally disappeared. Only at this moment did he realize the seriousness of the situation. Su Li's words were not a warning, but a final announcement. He has indeed become lazy after coming to Yunjing...
Yin Xuetong stopped accounting and looked back at Qu Qingning with a firm expression. She believed that Qu Qingning could make the right decision. Although Qu Qingning's temper was a bit offbeat, if he was serious, he would be no worse than anyone else. He lacked It's just motivation.
Su Li approached and smiled sarcastically beside Qu Qingning: "Thinking about the hatred of your Qu family, is it possible that you want Fang Yuan and Yin Xuetong to help you avenge it?"
Qu Qingning's whole body was shaken, and he looked ashamed, "I was wrong."
Su Li put away her lecturing expression and nodded slightly. Qu Qingning was no better than Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was more persistent in temperament. He had always practiced hard and his progress in cultivation was not far behind hers.
With the beauty by his side and revenge far away, the string in Qu Qingning's mind was loosened. He was not as mature as Yin Xuetong, let alone Fang Yuan. He still needed her to remind him from time to time so as not to waste his talent.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is rarely a lantern festival on East Street. Let's take Xuetong to go shopping." Su Li's tone slowed down, which made Yin Xuetong's ears turn red and she looked away.
Tap tap tap…
Fang Yuan came down from upstairs and seemed to have just finished a period of practice. He looked at Su Li steadily, with an extremely vague look of expectation in his eyes.
Feeling the former's gaze, Su Li turned around to look. He was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes away without any trace, "I'll go back to Su's house first to prevent any flaws..."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for any reaction from the three people.
As the beauty walked away, Fang Yuan pursed his lips, a trace of deep disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Qu Qingning laughed dryly and asked, "Fang Yuan, why don't we go to the lantern festival?"
Fang Yuan turned around, his expression calm, and he shook his head, "I want to continue practicing. You and Xuetong... have fun."
