On a light rain day during the Qingming Festival, Li Xiuyuan walked through the rain and fog on the street and sent Hua Luoyu to the merchant ship at the dock.
Hua Luoyu looked at him and smiled: "Now I know why you don't want to stay in the Imperial City. How can you feel as comfortable as here in the Imperial City?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at her and said seriously: "Tell them, don't come to see me if you have nothing to do. I'm afraid of trouble. The house is small and I have no place to live."
"I can't control them. When I come back from southern Xinjiang, I will bring your master over. Remember to leave a room for me."
The merchant ship gradually moved away, and the falling flowers gradually disappeared into the rain and mist.
Li Xiuyuan murmured softly: "If I had known earlier, I should have gone back to Fengyun City."
Shaking his head, he walked up the pier and bought another basket of saury... The children loved this stuff, so Li Xiuyuan didn't mind buying more.
As early as three days ago, five hundred imperial troops from the Imperial City began to suppress bandits along both sides of the Fuchun River.
As soon as they heard that the property captured by the bandits did not have to be handed over, the Imperial Guards became very motivated, hoping that they could do something practical for the people on the riverside and make a small fortune along the way.
Because the Forbidden Army was stationed in the town, the people and merchants became much more courageous.
In their opinion, it may not take ten years, but as long as there are no bandits, the town will be able to return to its former prosperity in two or three years.
The two shops have been renovated. Although they look a bit primitive, they give people a very solid feeling.
According to the words of the craftsmen, only shops built with bluestone in this way do not have to worry about fire.
There are bluestones outside, and inside the house Li Xiuyuan asked craftsmen to buy iron wood from Baiyu City to decorate it, saying that it would not be damaged after hundreds of years of use.
Two floors were built at the front and back, and Uncle Liu and Wang San kept talking about this and that, looking forward to moving back to do business soon.
Even the bluestones were piled up in front of the rice shop not far away. They were waiting for the craftsmen to finish their work and then went to their homes to start work.
Finally, three days after the Qingming Festival, the shopkeeper asked Wang San to hire a few men from the town to move the goods stored in the blacksmith shop back to his own shop.
It took Uncle Liu and a few guys two full days of work to sort out the goods and plan to ask Li Xiuyuan to pick an auspicious day to reopen.
Li Xiuyuan, Sister Hong and the waiter hired by his second brother were sorting out the shelves of the wine shop.
The wine shop is much simpler, with only two rows of wine jars placed on the shelves for decoration, and a row of large wine jars just behind the counter.
A table made of ironwood was set up in the shop for tea, meals, and wine to entertain guests.
Hearing that Uncle Liu wanted to choose a day, Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. Isn't that a good day?"
For him, as long as the place where he is is free from evil spirits, what day should he choose there?
When Uncle Liu heard this, he immediately replied with a smile: "That's right. Let's tell tomorrow. Then we will buy two firecrackers and set them off. Even if we reopen, we won't need to treat guests."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "Just tomorrow, I just happen to have the wine here almost ready."
Sister Hong, who was cleaning the table, laughed when she heard this: "Shopkeeper, if you sell the wine so cheaply, it will take years and months to earn back the money to repair the house, right?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, looked at her and replied: "Sister Hong doesn't have to worry about the money to repair the house, but from now on, you have to focus on selling wine."
Sister Hong looked at him and asked: "Have you decided on the name of the shop owner of Shafang? Is it the same as my sister's, open from morning to night?"
"I will decorate the sign myself in the afternoon. From now on, the wine shop will only do business for half a day. Sister Hong can take Ruyi to play in the morning, and I will go to school to teach the children in the morning."
After waiting for so long, the houses on both sides of the house are about to be completed, and Li Xiuyuan wants to be a teacher in the school.
When Sister Hong heard this, she couldn't help but frowned: "How much money can you make if you only do business for half a day?"
Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "My wine shop only does business for half a day. Even if the emperor comes, we will not sell wine in the morning."
Sister Hong laughed when she heard it. She looked at the antique-decorated winery and said with a smile, "This winery is so beautiful. This is the most beautiful winery I have ever seen."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "There is still some time left. You will know tomorrow."
After that, he took out a piece of wood that was leftover from the decoration, took out a knife and prepared to make a sign for the winery. After thinking about it, he looked at Sister Hong and said, "Sister Hong, after I leave, this winery will be yours."
When Sister Hong heard this, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he patted his chest and asked, "Sir, did you say something wrong? Even if you want to give it away, it will be for my sister."
"Sister, one shop is enough for you. You and Wang San need a home of your own."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said seriously: "When I'm here, there may be a lot of people coming over. You don't need to pay attention to them. One day when I leave here, this winery will belong to you and Wang San."
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "I have been with Wang San for a long time. I was less than ten years old at that time. When I passed by Liexi Town, I saw him blaming the blame."
Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly dropped, and she looked at Li Xiuyuan, speechless.
"Besides, you have Ruyi. From now on, you can help share my sister's affairs, but you have to have a family of your own, don't you think?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at the sky outside the hall and said quietly: "To this world, I am just a passer-by. Sister Hong, you and Wang San are neither."
"What about my Wang Ruyi?"
Sister Hong took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face and asked, "Didn't she worship the goddess as her master? And you are such a powerful godfather..."
"Wang Ruyi?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said quietly: "She is a blank piece of paper. How to write it depends on Sister Hong. My mistress is a clean person and can give her a bright future."
"Just like Watson, I don't know what his future will be like. I will only tell him what I have learned. He still needs to walk the road in the future by himself."
Whether it is Watson or Fu Sheng, Li Xiuyuan will not plan a future for them.
Just like an old Taoist priest does to himself, he will not dictate what he should do or how he should walk.
He can build a solid foundation for several children, but Watson still needs to walk with Hu Ge on the road ahead.
The master had been idle for more than ten years, and he just happened to take a new apprentice with him. The master and apprentice made their way into the world together.
Think about it, this is also a good choice.
Fu Sheng can be Fatty Tang's apprentice in the future... Even if he leaves this world one day, he will have no regrets.
After all, he is not a god yet.
While the two were chatting, the carved signboard in Li Xiuyuan's hand had taken shape unknowingly. Sister Hong looked at the two words on it and was speechless for a while.
After thinking for a while, she looked at him and asked: "Sir, do you plan to call the winery Xingyuan?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked at the two words on the wooden sign, he was also stunned. Is this something he is obsessed with?
Seeing his silent expression, Sister Hong couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay in the apricot garden. There are apricot trees behind this yard. You can eat apricots in two months."
"Since you haven't been back these years, we haven't eaten less of these spring apricots. Even my family likes to eat them."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's dazed look, Sister Hong thought of the situation when Mrs. Liu took her three kinds of apricot trees that year, and couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"I also have a yard, also called Xingyuan..."
Loulan in the dream was not mentioned. In Li Xiuyuan's view, Loulan was a place that Sister Hong could never go to, so there was no need to explain it again.
That night, after closing the door, Li Xiuyuan released the Phoenix Divine Flame and smoked the shelves in the store, even the tables, chairs and benches.
The last ray of divine fire floated over the wooden plaque in his hand, leaving a shadow of a phoenix on the word "Xingyuan". Under the oil lamp, it seemed as if it had experienced a hundred years of wind and frost.
After pasting two magic symbols on the back of the wooden sign, Li Xiuyuan turned around and walked out of the store, found a ladder and nailed the wooden sign to the door.
It was almost half past Xu hour, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Even Uncle Liu asked Wang San to close the shop early.
With a wave of his hand, a divine fire spread along Xingyuan towards the newly built Huangji store next to it. In just a moment, the two connected stores instantly had the flavor of a century-old store.
Blue stone, iron wood, and a phoenix divine fire burned through it, and in an instant, there was an extra layer of power of time.
Similarly, carrying the ladder, two magic symbols were posted behind the door number of Huang Ji's shop.
Back in the backyard, Hu Ge had already brewed a pot of spring tea. He looked at him and smiled lightly: "If my brother gives me this divine fire, I can also be a master swordsmith."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and said softly: "Casting is a road of no return. My master was the master of casting in the five regions back then, and even he gave up. Are you sure you want to do this?"
In his opinion, that ethereal divine fire was as high as in the sky and on the earth. He had endured countless hardships and still looked like this.
Not to mention Hu Ge who doesn’t even know what divine fire is.
Hu Ge was stunned, looked at him and asked: "Aren't you going to make swords anymore? Where are the weapons of these little guys? You don't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, do you?"
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan shook his head gently and said, "I have countless swords for them to choose from."
"I want one too, bring it!" When Hu Ge heard that there was a sword, he immediately stretched out his hand, thinking, I have been waiting for these words from you.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly: "First use your bamboo sword to practice swordplay, and use your own iron sword to defend yourself. After you can cut snow with the bamboo sword, come and ask me for the sword."
"I believe there are swords hidden in your blacksmith shop. Give them to the children one by one. I will take them out from the space."
After much deliberation, Li Xiuyuan felt that he could not let the children carry a sword on their backs. This was the human world, not Tianshan, nor Qingcheng.
Some things still need to be paid attention to. If you can hide them, you have to hide them.
After speaking, he took six space rings and placed them on the table, then gently pushed them in front of Hu Ge: "Replace your space rings too. This one can withstand the ascension tribulation thunder."
Hu Ge was startled, looked at him and said, "How come there are five? The other two are..."
"Watson also has two friends. You can find a strong rope for them to hang around their necks when the time comes."
Li Xiuyuan said softly: "I only put some silver coins in it, fifty spirit stones for each person. You teach them to practice slowly. More resources will be discussed later."
Hu Ge nodded, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I understand this."
...
After breakfast the next day, when Sister Hong, Mrs. Liu, the shopkeeper, Uncle Liu and others were preparing to open the two shops, Li Xiuyuan had already arrived at the school.
It is enough for Hu Ge to guard the backyard decoration. From now on, he will be a qualified teacher.
Mrs. Liu didn't expect that her brother would quietly go to the school alone. She looked at Sister Hong and said with a smile: "My brother will be the boss of the wine shop in the future. Sister Hong, you will be the boss of the wine shop."
Sister Hong smiled, held her hand and said, "Sister, I have also learned how to make wine. I have to try the black bean wine tonight. It tastes good."
The school bell has rang, and Mr. Chen walked into the classroom with Li Xiuyuan, who was wearing a white shirt.
Looking at the children in the classroom, he said: "Mr. Li came to the school today. He will lead everyone to learn some new knowledge in the future."
