Li Chenan didn't know that the first meeting with Liu Zuo was done deliberately by Hua Manting.
He still cares about his tavern.
The decoration of the tavern and the preparation of the utensils are now complete, and the next step is to make wine.
Sitting under the pavilion in the small courtyard, I carefully recalled all the steps of wine making, put it down on the paper, and looked at it carefully. The most time-consuming thing is fermentation.
Fermentation takes ten to twenty days.
Although it is possible to make wine after four days of fermentation, since this work has been done, it should be done more perfectly, so let’s finish the previous steps first, and there is no rush to wait for ten or twenty days before starting the brewing business.
There are still more than eighty taels of silver left in his pocket, enough to live on by himself for a while.
With this thought in mind, he stuffed the piece of paper into his arms, went to the bedroom in the east wing to get the two words he got from Mr. Hua Manting last night, and walked out of the tavern.
I had to find a framer shop to frame the poem about drinking wine, and I also had to make a plaque with the name of the tavern.
In the West Market, he left the work to a starch-mounting shop and walked to Li Ji's Grain Shop.
It's not that I'm worried that Li Xiaohua took the deposit of ten taels of silver and ran away, it's mainly because nothing happened.
But when he just walked to that street, he found that there were people outside Li Xiaohua's shop.
A tragic voice came from the crowd: "Damn it! My son is just doing business, how could he end up like this!"
It was a woman's voice, full of sorrow.
Li Chenan frowned and walked over quickly, squeezed into the crowd, and saw a woman sitting on the ground, beating her chest and wailing.
"What's wrong?"
He knelt down in front of the woman.
"My son, my son was arrested by the government!"
"Li Xiaohua?"
"Exactly..."
The woman raised her head and grabbed Li Chenan's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Young Master, do you know my son? Young Master, can you save my son? I will be your slave for the rest of my life." I’m willing to be a horse!”
Li Chenan did not withdraw his hand, "Don't worry, please tell me carefully what happened?"
"Master, a customer came to the shop yesterday, and my little flower sold some grain to him... That customer is a good man! He needs a lot of food, and he also promised to let my little flower go to his house to be a nursing home... My son is very happy I was so happy that I sent the food, and when I came back, I told the slave family that the young master was willing to pay for all the food from my family, and that today we and I can move to the young master's house."
"I thought God opened my eyes, but I didn't expect that just now, a few villains rushed into my shop."
"They said we shouldn't sell grain to that young man, saying that my son broke their master's rules."
"My son reasoned with them, but they beat me with sticks."
"My son couldn't bear it anymore and fought back. My son was very strong and couldn't control it at that time, so... my son injured them."
"They reported it to the official, who just arrested my son!"
"Young Master, I beg you to save my son, I'm kowtowing to you!"
Li Chenan helped her up, the look on his face was so gloomy that it was scary. No need to ask, this matter must have been done by someone from the Shen family, Shen Qianshan!
"Mom, I am the man who bought your food!"
"Ah, benefactor, please save my son!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Xiaohua. If you are feeling sick, go and stay in the house. I'll go to the Yamen right away!"
"Okay, okay, thank you benefactor!"
Li Chenan stood up and squeezed out of the crowd, thought for a while, and headed towards the Guangling City Yamen on Bell Tower Street with a cold expression.
The group of people in the West City still did not disperse. At this moment, someone asked: "Hey, wasn't that young man just now Li Chenan?"
"Which Li Chenan?"
"It's the Li Chenan from our Li Mansion in Guangling City who was kicked out by his father!"
"It's really him. He used to open a steamed cake shop and bought flour from my house."
"Why did that fool buy so much food?"
"Who knows? I heard that the Shen family has retrieved the marriage certificate... Do you think this is a revenge measure taken by the Shen family for the grievances they have suffered these days?"
"Then the Shen family is not right either. If you want revenge, go to that fool. Why did you bully Xiaohua!"
"Hey, hey, hey, just now Li Chenan said that he will definitely rescue Xiaohua... Do you think it's possible?"
"Tch! Why does he have it? It would be possible if he went to the Yamen to find his father and spend some money to gain some connections. It depends on whether the Shen family will interfere in the Yamen. He has been kicked out of the house by his father. Where did he come from? Are you so capable of recruiting people from the yamen?"
When Li Xiaohua's mother heard this, she was immediately filled with despair. Only then did she realize that the noble man her son thought she had found was actually that fool Li Chenan!
"My son... you are blind!"
…
…
Zhongli Mansion.
Zhongli Ruoshui was biting her pen and looking at her second brother Zhongli Qiuyang.
"What? Don't believe it?"
Zhongli Qiuyang sat opposite Zhongli Ruoshui, "I am your second brother! Is it possible that I would harm you for such an important thing?!"
"There are countless talented people in the world. I said you have always been shrewd. Why did you become stubborn this time?"
Zhongli Qiuyang leaned over and tapped his fingers on the table, "Brother has checked everything about Li Chenan for you and explained everything clearly to you."
"Brother also believes that people can change, but do you believe that a person who can't even memorize the Three-Character Sutra can make such good words?"
"You're sixteen, don't be so naive, okay?"
"Yes, he is indeed a little different these days, but it is just a little different. But it has changed from the original steamed cake shop to the current tavern. If you ask me, his steamed cake shop is at least still open. Three years, but his tavern will be closed in three months at most!”
"Sister, my biological sister!"
"Brother, please beg you, okay? Wake up, if you marry him, our Zhongli Mansion will really not be able to afford that shame!"
Zhongli Ruoshui bit her pen and made a clicking sound. The expression on her face did not change at all when she listened to Zhongli Qiuyang's words.
"Finished?"
She let go of the brush handle and placed the pen on the pen holder.
"It's not finished yet!"
"Then keep talking!"
"Let me ask you, what's wrong with Cheng Zhe? Even if you don't like Cheng Zhe wielding a knife or a gun, Qi Zhixue should be able to do it, right?"
"The direct grandson of the Duke of Qi, the future Duke of Qi is talented and knowledgeable, so he should be your favorite, right?"
"Don't tell me, second brother, I don't understand what you are thinking, and my father and mother can't accept it either!"
"Putting aside his identity, your husband-in-law must at least be a scholar, right? This is not a high requirement, right? But he, Li Chenan, is just a white man..."
"Second brother!"
Zhongli Ruoshui interrupted Zhongli Qiuyang.
"Don't forget your grandma's identity!"
Zhongli Qiuyang was startled, "Grandma is at least a master of martial arts!"
"Li Chenan is also a literary master!"
"...How did he become everyone?"
Zhongli Ruoshui stood up and raised his delicate eyebrows, "Don't you believe what Mr. Huamantinghua said? Go and ask him!"
"Where are you going?"
"Hehe, I'm going to talk to Mr. Hua about poetry and articles."
"Cheng Guogong will be arriving soon."
"So what? I don't have time to spend time with him."
