The rain was pouring down, beating on the roof of the small courtyard of No. 47 Tianjie. With the spring breeze, it did not disturb the interest of the hot pot eaters under the eaves.
This was Feng Ruyu's first time eating hot pot. Li Xiuyuan put a lot of chili pepper spices into the soup, which made the pot of dragon meat fragrant, and the aroma went straight to the Tianjie outside the courtyard.
People in the courtyard were enjoying themselves eating meat, which was in sharp contrast to the silence on Hetian Street.
Li Xiuyuan didn't take Tianxiang Academy's affairs to heart, but he thought that he would start his own brewing plan after dinner. After all, this was a big business involving thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.
It was so big that even he had never touched it in the wild Ding'an City.
Although he had killed tens of thousands of soldiers with a wave of his hand, it was Li Qiushui, Rushi and the shopkeepers of the lakeside shop who got rich. Now that he thinks about it, he has become a person who has gained fame but not benefited from it. .
He thought to himself that his master was about to take these young ladies to practice, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to watch the auction show in Yuqiong Pavilion, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It seemed to outsiders that he had a good master, but he couldn't believe how he suddenly met the old man after ascending and became his master.
You must know that at that time, I was only a boy at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and I was so poor that I didn't even have a change of clothes.
"Hurry up and take action today." Feng Ruyu thought about his words: "The elder has already spoken out. You must take this matter seriously. This is related to our Yuqiong Pavilion's face and future cooperation."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "You can go back by yourself after eating. I will start working after a short rest. I will take advantage of these few days to brew some ordinary spiritual wine."
Feng Ruyu was slightly surprised and asked: "You are very generous. Can you brew so much wine and sell it all?"
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said seriously: "You didn't know that once someone drinks my wine, I won't be able to sell it. By the way, haven't you drank it?"
There was a moment of silence under the eaves, as silent as the continuous spring rain outside the hall.
After eating another piece of meat, Feng Ruyu looked at him and asked, "I've eaten so much meat. I'm afraid I'll break through again tonight, right?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "If you haven't eaten it before, it should be OK, but I didn't put any magic medicine in this soup. You also know that I haven't gone out to explore yet, so I have the ingredients on hand."
Feng Ruyu looked up at him and said with a smile: "It's good to have this meat... By the way, after this wine is released, how much do you plan to sell it for per jar? Are you really not going to buy it and send it to the bar?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at her and replied: "One spirit stone can be used to drink a bowl, ten spirit stones in a small urn, fifty in a big urn, no two prices."
Li Xiuyuan gave up what he did in Ding'an City. If he was afraid that he would be exhausted and not enough to sell, he would take the high-end route. It doesn't matter if he has no money. A spiritual stone will let you taste a bowl.
Feng Ruyu thought for a while, looked at him and replied seriously: "This price is not high, nor is it low. It is a moderate price, and it will not conflict with the wine we auction... No one will ever think of you."
"My cultivation level is low and I'm afraid of trouble." Li Xiuyuan said what was in his heart.
"You are a sensible person. You put us in front to block the gun for you!" Feng Ruyu looked at him and laughed.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said seriously: "You are the ones who set the price, and you earn nothing but white spirit stones. Even I have to look at your face, don't I?"
Feng Ruyu didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to be so eloquent, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It's a pity that you won't go to our Yuqiong Pavilion to do the auction with your mouth."
"I like a free life." Li Xiuyuan replied inexplicably.
Feng Ruyu sighed, put down his chopsticks, touched his belly and smiled: "In the future, if there is delicious meat, I will bring it to you. It will be delicious and worry-free."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Xiuyuan's reply, he took out his silk scarf and wiped the grease stains from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and walked out: "I'm going to see what those kids at Tianxiang Academy want to do."
Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared.
...
When I returned to Yuqiong Pavilion with a flower umbrella, several young men and women from Tianxiang Academy had already left.
The clerk in the store looked at Feng Ruyu, who was covered in mist and smelling of spicy chili peppers, and said with a smile: "Miss, some guys from Tianxiangyuan came here just now and want to buy this calligraphy..."
"Oh? Those guys really came to read the words? How did you reply to them?" Feng Ruyu said with a smile as he walked inside.
The clerk laughed and said, "I told him that this word would not be sold, no matter how much money was spent. The fat man was so angry that he jumped up and said that he was the proud son of Tianxiang Academy and was not short of money."
Feng Ruyu was amused and said with a smile: "No matter who comes or how much money they offer, we won't sell it!"
After saying that, he walked upstairs.
When I returned to the third floor and sat down, I saw the middle-aged man who set the price for Li Xiuyuan last time also sitting quietly. Looking at Feng Ruyu who came in, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyu went to see that boy again today?"
"Didn't I send him the elixir to make wine? Who knew that several students from Tianxiang Academy came to look for trouble for that little guy."
Feng Ruyu reached out and took a cup of tea, looked at the middle-aged man and smiled.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Just let the store clerk handle this small matter. Did those guys stumble?
Feng Ruyu said with a smile: "It's not just Zibi, he was kicked out directly. He is really the one who lost Tianxiang Academy. They didn't even ask, whose territory is No. 47 Tianjie?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and replied: "They hide in the academy all day long to practice. How do they know the dangers of the world?"
Feng Ruyu nodded and said: "I heard from Li Xiuyuan that Elder Mo led these flowers to the edge of the foreign battlefield to practice. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
The middle-aged man looked at her and sighed, and said softly: "Is it possible not to go? If there is an invasion from a foreign land, can these children in the greenhouse resist the enemy from outside?"
Feng Ruyu was stunned when he heard it, and after a while he asked: "Does it mean that we will have to go to the battlefield one day?"
The middle-aged man looked at her and smiled bitterly: "This is a matter of lips and teeth. How can anyone escape it?"
"That kid wants to go too. I heard that Elder Mo thinks his cultivation level is too low and won't let him follow me. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will follow me somewhere."
Feng Ruyu thought of Li Xiuyuan's expression and nodded thoughtfully.
Now she understands why Li Xiuyuan also wants to go to that dangerous place. It turns out that one day everyone will face a common danger.
If Li Xiuyuan knew what she said, it would really make him cry out for injustice.
Li Xiuyuan doesn't have these lofty ideals at the moment. He just wants to break through to the foundation building quickly, and then find time to go to the Endless Fire Realm, find what he wants, and then find a way to escape back to the Shura Heaven Realm.
Xiaoqing and the demon realm are waiting for him to return?
"It seems that I have to find a chance to go out and experience it in the future..." Feng Ruyu said seriously while looking at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at her, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I can't control your affairs, so you should ask your father."
When Feng Ruyu heard this, she had no choice but to change the topic with him with a grimace: "Has the second uncle made arrangements for the auction in five days?"
The middle-aged man looked at her and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. The starting bid for a group of three jars is ten thousand. This time, five groups of fifteen jars will be released first."
After hearing this, Feng Ruyu nodded and replied: "It's just right. Don't let too much out for the first time. It depends on the situation and the effect is good. We will shoot again in a month."
The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said: "Of course we can't miss this good opportunity."
"When we become famous in Tianyu City, we will take it to other places and sell it..." When he thought of this, even the reserved Feng Ruyu couldn't help but giggle.
...
Three days later, Li Xiuyuan was neither waiting for his master nor the disciples from Tianxiang Academy. Instead, the merchants on Tianjie Street heard about Li Xiuyuan's shop and came to join in the fun.
A group of people first spent a spirit stone to try a bowl, and the result was just as Li Xiuyuan expected, everyone who drank it paid for the wine one after another.
This wine has never been seen in the world, and it is rare even in heaven.
There is no spiritual rice in the world, and there is no Li Xiuyuan in the sky.
In two days, several of Li Xiuyuan's calligraphy and paintings were sold, and a lot of spiritual wine was sold. The monks who had drank it all told Li Xiuyuan that they would help him publicize it and let more people come over to try the spiritual wine at No. 47 Tianjie.
The fifth day was the day when Yuqiong Pavilion auctioned Li Xiuyuan's medicinal wine made from Wannianling wine. Feng Ruyu sent a man over early to invite him, but after careful consideration, Li Xiuyuan rejected her kindness.
The best way for him to completely avoid suspicion is to not even look at it.
He stayed in the shop, sold an anthology, several jars of wine, and copied and wrote with a pot of tea.
If Feng Ruyu's starting price of 10,000 for three jars of wine was used, fifteen jars of wine would be able to fetch 50,000 spirit stones at the most conservative price. Even if Yuyu Pavilion gave him 25,000, his master and apprentice would still be able to get a lot.
After all, he became rich overnight.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel very excited. I ground the black paper and held the hair of the wolf and waved it like a sword.
On the Luoxia Mountain, the clouds rise to watch, and the clouds rise to watch the apricot blossom fairy;
The Apricot Blossom Immortal planted apricot trees and picked apricot flowers to make wine.
When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers; when you are drunk, you come to sleep under flowers;
Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I put away the pen and stamped it with my own seal, and finally wrote a picture of my favorite words and hung it in the middle of the store. There is a banner in Yuqiong Pavilion that is not for sale, and there is also a banner in the middle hall of Tianxiang Bookstore that is not for sale.
When he was thinking about whether to close the store and go shopping on Tianjie, Feng Ruyu, wearing a light yellow skirt, walked in, looked at him and said with a smile, "Are you planning to close the store?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head subconsciously and said harmoniously: "I can't stay in this shop all day long. I want to go around Tianjie Street and look for something to eat."
"Looking at your calm appearance, you are not worried about today's auction at all?"
Feng Ruyu turned around and walked out. After Li Xiuyuan closed the door of the shop, the two of them walked towards Tianjie together.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said, "Sister Ruyu, looking at you, you must have gotten rich."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, no matter how high the price of Yuqiong Pavilion was, he would not be surprised. After all, the ten thousand-year elixir was not cheap to begin with, plus the curiosity of a group of monks and the publicity of Yuqiong Pavilion.
Feng Ruyu turned back to look at him and smiled: "You have to treat me to a big meal, no! Ten meals is not enough."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and smiled: "Then why don't you just deduct it from my share of spiritual stones? How can I have time to go shopping and eat every day?"
"How stingy. Do you know how many spiritual stones you earned today? I'm afraid you won't be able to earn it back even if you open a bookstore or sell wine for ten years."
Feng Ruyu glared at him fiercely.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her exaggerated expression and couldn't help but feel his lips become dry. He asked softly: "Is it possible that you want to give me 40,000 spiritual stones?"
In his opinion, thirty thousand is already very good. After all, this is the first auction and there is no precedent.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ruyu glanced at him with disgust and said with a smile: "It's better than you think!"
