Li Xin was very puzzled. Huaiguzi arrested Xiaocui, the maid who had been with the Wu family for many years. How could the Wu family still cooperate?
Although Xiaocui did deserve it, her relationship with Wu Shi was there after all.
Li Xin had already thought about it. If Wu Shi was unwilling to cooperate, then he would have to be tough and scare Mr. Qi and Wu Shi.
After all, Huaiguzi said, this is a good deal and cannot be allowed to stagnate while it is stuck here.
Just as he was thinking about it, the three of them arrived in the backyard in a blink of an eye.
Mr. Qi opened the door and went in. Li Shui and Li Xin were waiting in the courtyard.
When Master Qi heard that it was Huai Guzi and Li Xin who were coming, he was so angry that he was about to rush out and tear their mouths apart.
After throwing the things, he lay in Mr. Qi's arms and cried bitterly.
Mr. Qi was trying to persuade others in the room, and sighed and said, "We are weak now, so let's listen to what they have to say first."
Wu Shi cried: "What do you say? They arrested Xiaocui and now they come to Qi Mansion again. They are obviously looking at our jokes."
"In all the years I've been here in Qi Mansion, I've never been so angry."
"I don't know when this day will end."
Mr. Qi said: "I just heard Huaiguzi say that he seemed to have something to do with you."
Wu said: "I am a weak woman, what can you do to me? Maybe you think we are not sad enough and are here to stimulate us."
"These two people should not be allowed to enter our Qi Mansion again."
Mr. Qi nodded and said, "What Madam said is true, but they have already come in, so we might as well see what to say first."
While the two were talking, Li Shui shouted from outside the door: "Master Qi, how is your discussion going?"
"Your Excellency is a contemporary scholar who values etiquette above all else. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave us outside for so long."
Mr. Qi comforted Wu Shi, turned around and opened the door.
Li Shui and Li Xin smiled at each other and walked in.
Wu Shi twisted his face, not wanting to see the faces of Li Shui and Li Xin.
Master Qi said slowly: "Master Huai, what's the matter with you? You can tell me now."
Li Shui nodded and said, "I know Madam also has wine-making skills, so I want to cooperate with Madam."
Wu snorted coldly: "Cooperation, you closed down the tavern we worked so hard to run and deceived Lu Yi, and now you are talking about cooperation."
"Master Huai, you haven't read any books, so you shouldn't be so shameless."
Mr. Qi nodded with satisfaction. She is worthy of being the wife of my Qi Mansion. She has stayed in the Qi Mansion for such a long time. Her words and expressions are all sarcastic, and she does not fall behind in the slightest.
Mr. Qi thought: Huaiguzi, you brought this upon yourself. Do you really think that our Qi family is so easy to bully?
Li Xin sneered: "Brother Huai didn't say anything before he was ridiculed. Master Qi, is this how you usually discipline?"
"You really don't have any hospitality at all."
Lord Qi was just about to speak when Wu said coldly: "Hospitality to guests? What a joke. You two entered my Qi Mansion under the pretense of looking for my Lord. It is the greatest courtesy that Lord Qi did not kick you out."
"How dare you have other demands."
Li Shui smiled and said: "Madam, don't be angry. I originally invited Mr. Zhao to come with me for a visit, but Mr. Zhao is busy with official duties and can't leave for a while, so we are the only ones here."
Wu Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Master Zhao, you are so ashamed. How could he be like you two? Master Zhao should not have come, and you two should not have come."
"Could it be that the two adults haven't seen enough of my jokes in the government hall and still want to come to my Qi Mansion to continue to show off their power?"
Li Shui waved his hand and said, "Madam, you are joking. Ever since I learned that Madam knows some wine-making techniques, I have some ideas."
"Although Lu Yi has extraordinary wine-making skills, he is still one person after all. His development is slow and difficult to achieve success."
"Although Madam's skills are not as good as Lu Yi's, she still has the connections and resources in her hometown. If she can make use of them, she will definitely be able to develop and grow."
Wu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Master Huai, you just want to target me alone, but you still want to harm our fellow villagers?"
Li Shui wondered and said: "When did I say that I would harm your fellow villagers? I let you and your fellow villagers get rich with your own hands."
"Lv Yi has such a superb brewing technology, but he is still forced to come to Xianyang City to work. I believe that other people from the same village should live an ordinary life."
Wu curled her lips and said nothing. She knew that what Huaiguzi said was true. Her fellow villagers only had the skills to make wine, but most of them did not engage in this industry in order to make a living.
Wu Shi said coldly: "This is not a gift from Master Huai. After Master Huai's immortal wine is made, it will be difficult to sell the wine brewed in my hometown."
Li Shui smiled and said: "Da Qin is developing, so we can't just leave the cooking alone just because we are used to eating cold food."
"The taste of home-brewed wine is indeed not as good as that of ambrosia. It's normal for your fellow countrymen to be unemployed."
Wu Shi said: "What does Master Huai mean?"
Li Shui said: "Our Shangjun Courtyard has a market, and Lu Yihe and his wife have the technology. We can cooperate and open up the market for low-alcohol wine."
Mr. Qi and Mr. Wu looked at each other and asked in unison: "Low-alcohol wine?"
Li Xin said casually: "It's the wine your tavern made before."
Mr. Qi himself didn't understand wine, so he nodded vaguely after listening.
After hearing this, Wu Shi came to his senses and cursed: "Sir Huai, you are really worthy of your reputation. You saw that my tavern was making money, so you closed it down for an excuse, and now you want to open a tavern in your name. What a good plan."
"It is illegal for others to make money, but it is legal for you, Mr. Huai, to steal money."
Li Shui said slowly: "It's cooperation, everyone makes money together."
"Besides, my wife's tavern secretly sold wine under the name of fairy wine, which itself violated the patent law."
"If we cooperate, the location of the pub does not need to be hidden in a deep alley. We can choose to open in a downtown area."
"And if the Fairy Wine trademark is generously put on it, sales will definitely be better than the previous tavern."
Wu Shi and Master Qi looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Seeing Master Qi and Wu Shi hesitate, Li Shui continued, "I heard that Master Qi is already in the process of dismissing the servants."
"And it has reached the point of eating chaffy vegetables."
Mr. Qi stared at him and said, "How unreasonable is this? I don't know who made up this rumor. Although our Qi Mansion is not as good as the life in Shangjun Courtyard, no matter how bad it is, we still have cooking every day."
Li Shui and Li Xin could tell that what Master Qi just said was said through clenched teeth, and neither of them could tell the truth.
Wu said: "If we cooperate, how will we share the profits?"
Li Shui said: "Qi Mansion accounts for 0.50%."
Wu sneered and said, "Zero point five? Everyone says Master Huai is a shrewd man. Today is an eye-opener."
"Lu Yi and my Qi family have put in so much effort, but they only accounted for 0.50%? Mr. Huai, you are really good at doing business."
Li Shui smiled and explained: "Madam, Lu Yi is mine now."
Wu frowned and said, "If Lu Yi is not a member of Lord Huai, can my Qi Mansion hold more shares?"
Li Shui chuckled and said, "It's a pity that there is no such thing."
