Li Mu looked at Bai Hao'er, sighed, and said to Huang Qi: "Benhou's father-in-law has worked hard these days, today he occasionally feels cold, Benhou can't bear him to continue to work, so he let him go home to rest for a while, and in the future, Huang's shopkeeper will work harder. ”

Huang Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down. Bai Hao'er was anxious when she heard this, and was just about to tell that she didn't have the cold, but when she raised her head to meet Li Mu's eyes, the words that came to her mouth were suddenly held back.

Li Mu continued to say to Huang Qi: "Shopkeeper Huang, please arrange a carriage to send Benhou's father-in-law back to Zhuangzi." ”

"Yes, Master Hou." Huang Qi answered, turned around and went out. Li Mu waved his hand, and Li Chongyi and the others also retreated.

Li Mu came to Bai Lao'er, didn't beat him or scold him, but asked, "Zhangren, do you really lack that money?" ”

Bai Nao'er raised her head and looked at Li Mu, snorted for a long time, and plucked up the courage to say: "Virtuous son-in-law, I am not short of money...... However, who is afraid of money. I have a total of two children, and I happened to follow you, and I will be inexhaustible for a lifetime, but my family is rooted in ...... He's a fool, if I don't save a family for him, what can I do in the future. ”

"I'm his brother-in-law, can I miss his food and clothing?"

Bai Nao'er lowered his head, raised it again, and said, "But after all, your surname is Li, and his surname is Bai after all." You are his brother-in-law, and you can take care of him. But what about the next generation? Our Bai family, don't we have to pass it on......"

Li Mu frowned, he couldn't refute this, it was true.

"Since you came to Chang'an, you have helped a lot. I gave the land, and I was given half of the profit of this winery...... I know what you mean, it's okay I rarely look for Qiaoqiao, I know you can't get used to it. After a pause, Bai Hao'er said again: "Virtuous son-in-law, if you don't have the patience, who wants to wait for someone to feed you?" I don't need this winery, I'm idle, I'm confused...... Wrong is definitely wrong, you can beat and scold the virtuous son-in-law, I don't have a word. ”

Li Mu looked at Bai Hao'er like this, and felt very uncomfortable, and even felt a little pitiful for him. His perception of Bai Hao'er has actually gone through three stages.

When I first met Bai Chao'er, because of the residual memory of Li Mu in his mind, coupled with what Bai Hao'er did at that time, Li Mu hated Bai Chao'er, and even thought about waiting for a knife at night to kill this person. But calm down, he didn't do that. At that time, he and Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't talk about their relationship, but Bai Qiaoqiao's dedication over the years and his care for the Sun family were enough to be worthy of the word 'kindness'. Bai Qiaoqiao is the benefactor of the Li family, and since Li Mu inherited the original Li Mu's body, he can't ignore this affection. So when Sun's health improved, he decided to move and avoid Bai Hao'er. Since you can't take revenge, then it's okay to hide, and it's okay to see you in this life.

When they met again in Dingxiang, Li Mu's perception of Bai Hao'er changed again. Because at that time, he had already recognized his feelings for Bai Qiaoqiao, and he added feelings to his kindness. Bai Hao'er doesn't care, he is Bai Qiaoqiao's father. Even if Bai Qiaoqiao said that she hated this father, with her kind nature, it was impossible to do anything to hurt her father. People can't choose their original family, Li Mu chose to tolerate Bai Hao'er and promised him to be the shopkeeper, which has nothing to do with what he thinks of Bai Hao'er, because he doesn't want Bai Qiaoqiao to be in a dilemma.

Later, when he came to Chang'an, Li Mu made the marquis. By this time, Li Mu had no hatred for Bai Nao'er, because the gap between him and Bai Nao'er was too big. When Bai Hao'er saw him, she trembled more and more every time. There is no longer a bit of the domineering of the past, not daring to calculate him, not daring to make demands, and not even daring to talk to him.

This feeling is a bit like when Li Mu was in an orphanage in his previous life, he was often beaten by an old man with a broom. At that time, he regarded this old man as his lifelong enemy, and he hated to grow up one day, so he could compare and compare with this old man, so that he could also taste the taste of a broom. But when he really grew up and returned to the orphanage, he saw this old man who was on the shift, and he didn't want to do anything to him. The lifelong enemy when he was a child, as he grew older, turned into a joke.

It's a bit like when he first joined the game company, and he was always troubled by the leader of the newcomer training team. At that time, Li Mu also hated this team leader in his heart, but two years later, the team leader was still the leader of the newcomer training team, and he had become a rising star of the company, enjoying the treatment of deputy director, and was a strong contender for the position of director. At this time, Li Mu's hatred for the team leader was almost gone, because the status gap between the two sides had widened, and the leader of the newcomer training group could no longer affect him. At this time, if he turns around to make things difficult for the team leader, it will appear that he is too narrow-minded, and there is no need, if he does that, he will fall into the eyes of the company's senior management, and he will feel that his pattern is too low, and he will be retribution, and it is unbearable.

Li Mu is in vain with Bai, which is generally the case. He didn't want to retaliate, he just hoped that Bai Hao'er would cause him less trouble, so it didn't matter if he took out some land and some money for this, because he was Bai Qiaoqiao's father, and Li Mu was willing to spend this money to buy Qingjing.

Even if something like this happened today, Li Mu was actually not angry. He just felt helpless, and after hearing Bai Hao'er say these words, he felt that Bai Hao'er was also a little pitiful. Somehow, a sentence from a TV series I saw in my previous life popped up in my mind.

"Where did you go in the past? You've got to stand up! ”

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly wanted to laugh again.

"Okay, I don't blame you, I don't say anything about you, and I won't take back half of your profits. Go home and rest for a few days, don't you just want to earn a few dollars for yourself, and find something for you to do in a few days. ”

"Really?" Bai Hao'er thought she had misheard, and her eyes widened.

Li Mu raised his face and said, "It's fake to ask again." ”

"Don't ask, don't ask, thank you son-in-law, thank you!" Bai Hao'er smiled, waved at Li Mu again and again, and retreated and went out. Li Mu shook his head helplessly, sat down on the chair again, and rubbed his temples lightly, he was in a good mood, but after Bai Hao'er stirred it up like this, his head really hurt a little.

Li Bi entered the house, saw Li Mu rubbing his head, and said, "Virtuous nephew, are you angry about your father-in-law?" ”

When Li Mu saw Li Bi, he quickly got up and saluted, and said, "Second uncle, my father-in-law has caused you trouble." If something like this happened, I should have told me earlier. ”

How could Li Bi let him really bow down, he was helped up without bending his waist, the two sat down, Li Bi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, you are busy every day, and you are not an outsider, how can you be distracted." Besides, it didn't affect the business. ”

"Wrong is wrong, I've already told my father-in-law, he won't get involved in the winery in the future."

Li Bi is a smart person, he didn't show joy or persuasion, he just said: "Don't make your father-in-law unhappy, after all, it's your elder." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "I know it in my heart...... Second uncle, I came this time, in fact, there is something else. A friend who was in Dingxiang before, came to Chang'an to sell furs, and he was going to leave for the day after tomorrow, and wanted to buy some wine to bring back, so I agreed, a total of eighty altars. ”

"Of course your friend is fine." Li Bi happily agreed, and said, "Just send someone here for this little thing, why bother to go out of your way." ”

"One more thing." Li Mu clapped his hands, and Li Chongyi came in from outside, holding a jar of champion red in his hand. Li Bi took it and patted the mud, sniffed it with his nose, and praised: "Good wine, it tastes!" ”

Looking down again, the wine was red, and he exclaimed, "What kind of wine is this, it is red?" ”

"The name of this wine is Zhuangyuan Red, which is a modified rice wine. Recently, I heard some people in Chang'an City slandering that Bashang Wine Shop would only make wine that reckless people drink, so I asked them to see and understand, and they had to bow down to rice wine. ”

Li Bi said with a smile: "Why bother with villains, but it's not crazy, this wine is not inferior to any rice wine." ”

Li Bi is Li Ji's younger brother, with the background of the Cao Guo Mansion, he doesn't have to taste any kind of wine he hasn't drunk, just see this wine, and he knows it in his heart.

"Virtuous nephew, did you bring this wine with the intention of producing it in large quantities?"

"Yes, I've already brought the koji and immediately set up a dedicated production line to produce it. Because rice wine is subject to secondary fermentation, it takes longer to brew this wine than three cups. The result of my experiment is that it is almost twice as long, so the yield will be lower, and the rice wine uses more ingredients than the white wine, and all things considered, this wine is more expensive. ”

"How much more expensive?"

"This wine, I plan to sell it for ten times and one jar, and three times for one pot."

Li Bi gasped, but he didn't ask if he could sell it. He said something like this the last time he was in charge of the price of three cups, and it turned out that he was wrong. Smart people don't make the same mistake twice, since Li Mu dares to set a price like this, he must have already figured out how to sell it, just listen.

"The Emperor Taishang is in the heaven and earth of Chongrenfang, and it will open at the end of the month, and my father-in-law mentioned this matter to the second uncle."

Li Bi nodded, this matter is no longer a secret, it's just that everyone tacitly agreed not to tell it.

Li Mu smiled slightly, pointed to the wine jar of Zhuangyuanhong, and said, "This wine is to be sold to students there." ”

"I see!" Li Bi suddenly realized, no wonder he was called Zhuangyuanhong, it turned out that he had this idea. The turn of the year is the imperial examination, at the end of the month the emperor of heaven and earth will be opened, according to the smell of consumption is not low, can go in to consume, nine out of ten must be the children of the gate valve family. Seeing that the imperial examination is about to begin, can they not show their faces there? In case the poem is favored by the emperor or the emperor, it doesn't matter if you lose the imperial examination.

At this time, there is a kind of wine sales called Zhuangyuan Hong, even if it is ten times a jar, they have to buy a jar to taste it even if they grit their teeth!

After thinking about this section, Li Bi laughed out loud and said, "Virtuous nephew Gao Ming, it seems that our wine shop is going to make a lot of money again!" ”
