15. Hidden crisis
Jiajing looked at his palm, and secretly wondered if it was because of the red lightning that he also had electricity on his body.
Having seen the power of the Storm Bear Warrior and knowing the secret of his divine power, Jiajing practiced martial arts, southern boxing, and studied his own red lightning energy more diligently in order to better protect himself and Yan Mei.
The two brothers, Punal and Punawi, usually in addition to accompanying Jiajing to practice martial arts, usually sit on the special giant chairs in the bar and drink, and take on the task of watching the scene by the way.
Jiajing was afraid that they would make trouble after drinking and tear down the tavern, so they had to limit them to drink at most half a jar a day, so the brothers desperately curry favor with Jiajing, and were willing to make sandbags for Jiajing to practice boxing, just to be able to drink a little more wine.
With the two Violent Bear Warriors guarded, and many people have heard of Jiajing's great force to descend the Violent Bear, the drunken troubles that often occur in other taverns have become a very rare thing in Yihong Tavern.
In the end, the legend of the Yi Red Tavern became more and more amazing, and they even said that the Yi Red Tavern was a forbidden area, and no matter who it was, they would not dare to make trouble in the tavern, even the soldiers of Star Picking City would not dare to arrest the prisoners in his tavern.
In this small city, there are really few people who can be stronger than the Storm Bear Warriors, you must know that their brothers are strong beings who can hunt high-level magical beasts.
Jiajing has a laissez-faire attitude towards this rumor, the more outrageous it spreads outside, the better the business of Yihong Tavern, and the higher the safety factor, and now Yihong Tavern is already making money every day.
Other tavern business plummeted. Although it was already known that it was Yi Hong Tavern that bought their wine and then processed and sold it, everyone was helpless.
Now there are very few customers who patronize them, and the regulars are coming more and more, and the people who come are all drinkers who have no money to go to Yihong to drink, and you can imagine their turnover, if you don't let Yihong Bistro buy their wine, just wait for it to close.
They also wanted to bribe mercenaries to investigate the secrets of the Yi Red Tavern, but now there are two Lucius Violent Bears guarding the Yi Red Tavern, and Yan Mei has bought ten fierce dogs with a keen sense of smell and strong ability to fight lions and tigers - Goldmane Guard Dogs, although the mercenaries lick blood from the knife all year round, they will not be stupid enough to run to provoke such a powerful enemy. What's more, most of them are drinking in Yihong Tavern, and they have a good relationship with the beautiful shopkeeper Yan Mei and the Violent Bear Warrior, who is also a drunkard, where will they buy the accounts of other tavern owners.
There was once an adventurous gang of more than a dozen people who had just come from other places, greedy and heavily rewarded, and accepted the commission of the tavern owner to prepare to visit Yihong at night, but before they could set off, they were reported to Jiajing by those homeless children. The next morning, they were all left on the street with their thighs broken. The tavern owner who had been commissioned had since disappeared, and the tavern was smashed to pieces by Punal and a group of homeless children.
What happened to them completely broke the bad intentions of the other tavernkeepers.
Jiajing is accustomed to the survival rules of this empire, and his heart to deal with the enemy is not as soft as before, plus Yanmei's whole family was killed because of this before, Jiajing will never be soft on these people who dare to use their brains, and even let out the words, whoever dares to fight Yihong's idea will let him die a good death!
In the end, the other taverns had to lower their profiles and send people to negotiate with Jiajing, and finally agreed that they would provide free wine to Yihong, and Yihong would give them a part of the wine to sell at half price, so as to calm the turmoil. It's just that Jiajing also added a rule that all the liquor sold must be hung with Yihong's signboard, such as Yihong fruit brewing, Yihong pine flower wine, etc.
Most of the tavern owners were shrewd merchants, and they knew that they couldn't compare to Yihong in Star Picking City, so they transported the wine out of the city and occupied the market outside the city.
Jiajing had thought of this a long time ago, while these tavern owners made a lot of money, they also helped Yihong become very famous, and the effect was far above Jiajing's estimate. In the distant imperial capital, and even in other empires, you can see wine under the Yihong brand, but the price is amazingly high.
Yihong soon became a symbol of fine wine and status, and the nobles and officials with status, and the wine that entertained guests, were all Yihong brands, so as to show their status.
Jiajing and Yan Mei didn't know how much wealth Yihong would bring them in the future, but trouble was already looming.
The small forces did not dare to provoke Yihong, but the eyes of some big forces had long been aimed at Yihong, who was making money every day and was famous.
They are not as stupid as the tavern owner, to find out the secret of Yihong Tavern's winemaking, you must know that the hen that makes money can only play the greatest benefit in the hands of the chicken farmer, even if they seize Yihong by force, but without Yan Mei and Renault and their gang, they have no gain, so they have adopted another strategy - sharing the benefits!
The ruler of Star Picking City, the Earth Emperor Cafirot, far from the center of the Empire's power, is one of these people. He knew that if the restaurant continued to develop, it would be a very huge cash cow in the future.
He was lying on a chair covered with pure white fox skin, half-squinting at the military advisor Beckham sitting next to him, and sent away the beautiful maid who was rubbing his shoulders and thighs, "Now the business of Yi Red Tavern is getting better and better, and it is also said to be a forbidden zone for picking stars, and even imperial soldiers can't arrest people inside, what do you think?"
Beckham looked at Cafirot respectfully. As Cafirot's number one henchman, he has been with Cafirot for many years, and he is very aware of the power of this city lord, and the scourge of bandits that has plagued the stars for many years has been easily eliminated by a ploy of Cafirot, and he has also gained an excellent reputation. Whether it is a rich merchant and aristocrat who got rid of the trouble of robbers, or a homeless poor people, they all praise him, which shows his strength.
Others see that Cafirot is fat, pale, and does not understand martial arts at all, but Beckham knows that this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the real Cafirot's strength is unfathomable, and even the golden swordsman is not necessarily his opponent.
It is also because of this that Cafirot, who has both civil and military skills, can convince Beckham of his dead heart, and follow him from the prosperous place of the imperial capital to this remote star city that no one wants to come.
Beckham hesitated for a moment before saying, "City Lord, this is just a rumor from outsiders, and it should not be taken seriously. ”
Cafiro nodded and said, "I think so too." But that's not a good sign. Yihong Tavern has recently applied to the Toast Department to purchase a place to build a winery, and it seems that the benefits are good!"
Beckham knew that he had a lot of ambitions since Cafirot took the initiative to apply here, secretly accumulated a lot of money, and did not hesitate to spend money to train the troops, so he knew that he had a lot of ambitions, and he didn't just want to dominate one side and become the emperor of the soil, but he has been silent and never mentioned it. Listening to his tone now, he knew that he had taken a fancy to Yihong's cash cow, "It's better that Yihong is still in their hands, but you have to do things for the city lord." Otherwise, the city lord will grant them land to build a winery, and they will not need gold coins, but they will have a share of the Yihong Tavern. ”
Cafirot looked at Beckham, nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but it's not good for our reputation to spread it." ”
Beckham smiled slightly, and said confidently: "This is simple. Just tell Sean that guy that you want to drink Bilo Chun and ask him to buy it for the City Lord. The subordinates revealed a little that Yan Mei in the tavern was extremely beautiful, and he rushed to it in person, as long as that Sean saw Yan Mei, hehe...... "The more he said, the quieter he became.
Cafirot's eyes lit up and he closed it quickly, "It's up to you to do this, it's not good to be too obsessed with women, Sean, maybe I'm going to give up on you this time!"
Beckham answered, got up and saluted, and strode away.
Cafirot slapped his palms, and two beautiful maidservants walked in, one holding a pot full of Bilo Chun and the other holding a set of gold wine utensils.
