Chapter 2: Liu Kee Distillery

"Young master, in addition to the wine shop, Miss also left you a house in Huainan back then." Inside the carriage, Fauber Road.

Now it has entered Huainan County, on the streets, there are hawkers walking the streets and alleys, there are merchants shouting loudly, there are steaming bun shops, and there are stalls hanging all kinds of gadgets, but it is not lively.

"Huainan is worthy of Huainan, although it is not as good as our Jiangnan water town, but it also has a unique flavor." Xiu'er looked at the street outside the window, and her spirit was bright.

"Then go to the house to settle the belongings first, and then go to the wine store to have a look." Gu Beichuan looked at the traffic on the street, it was very lively, and his mood became happy.

In any case, crossing is crossing, and living well is the top priority.

After a short time, the group of three arrived at a house in the south of the city.

This house, three in and three out, it can be seen that it was once the residence of a large family.

It's just that now, as the years go by, it seems that there are some traces of time.

It's not that you can't live with people, but if you want to live comfortably, you have to find someone to repair it.

Fortunately, Gu Jun felt sorry for his son, and before leaving, he was stunned to stuff Gu Beichuan with a lot of silver, but he didn't worry about this.

"Xiu'er, you go find someone to repair the old mansion, and Fu Bo and I will go to the wine store to have a look." After placing the luggage and belongings, Gu Beichuan assigned the first task.

......

Chengnan Street, although it is not as good as the city center, can be regarded as a busy and lively street.

There are many shops on the street, two of which are particularly conspicuous.

They are all wine shops, one with a sign of Zhang Kee, and the other with a sign of Liu Kee.

Why are there so many shops, but only the two of them are conspicuous?

Because these two liquor shops are facing each other, Zhang Ji's business is booming, and the door is like a market.

Liu Ji's business is bleak, and the door is full of birds.

Such a completely different scene really has a lot of impact, and it is difficult to think about it without being conspicuous.

In the Liu Kee wine shop, Zhang Chao, the account room, flipped through the account books, and the more he turned his heart, the cooler it became.

Originally, Liu Ji and Zhang Ji had similar business, otherwise there would be no situation where the two would have fought in the ring.

It's a pity that since the beginning of spring last year, the head of the Zhang Ji family has found a wine from nowhere - the recipe of Chunxiao.

After Chunxiao, Zhang Ji's business is getting better day by day, but Liu Ji's business is getting worse day by day.

The reason is simple, on the same street, in the same location, two wine shops.

Other people's wine is good, why should I buy your wine?

Zhang Chao is in his eyes and anxious in his heart.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid that in a few months, Liu Ji will have to close his doors.

When the time comes, how to be worthy of the owner?

But fortunately, who is he Zhang Chao? has already planned, if it succeeds, it will be able to turn things around and recover the decline.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Chao's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, as if he remembered something happy.

But then, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he saw that the door of the wine shop opposite was open, and the boss led several burly men with a man who had been beaten to death, and came towards their wine shop with a fierce attitude.

Zhang Chao chuckled in his heart, the secret way is not good.

Bang.

The guy was thrown straight to the ground with a loud bang.

The owner of Zhang Ji Liquor Store raised his voice and said angrily: "What about your steward? Come out for me! ”

Zhang Chao stepped forward with a hard head, beat a drum in his heart, and said, "I'm the account office, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Accounts? It's half a steward. ”

"Look, this guy is from your store?"

Zhang Chao didn't answer casually, but asked thoughtfully: "I don't know what this guy has done?" Beaten like this? ”

"Hmph, this thief sneaked into my Zhangji wine shop last night, intending to steal the recipe for Chunxiao wine."

Rumble!

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene exploded in an instant.

Who doesn't know that Zhang Ji can beat Liu Ji in the south of the city, relying on the famous wine Chunxiao.

What happens if someone steals the formula?

Isn't this a way to cut off people's money? No wonder it was beaten like this.

For a while, the eyes of everyone looking at the guy gradually lost pity, and were replaced by disgust.

Hearing this, Zhang Chao had a plan in his heart, and immediately said: "This guy looks at the noodles, and he thinks it's not from our shop." ”

As soon as these words came out, others were fine, but some of the old workers of Liuji Wine Shop changed their faces one after another.

This young man, they clearly remember, is in the shop, why does the account room have to deny it?

Didn't he instigate this stealing formula?

Thinking of this, everyone began to worry for a while.

"Isn't it?" Boss Zhang Ji looked surprised, and then said: "Wake people up and confront them face to face." ”

Bang!

A bowl of cold water was poured over the man's head, and he gradually came to his senses from his coma.

After seeing Zhang Chao, before Boss Zhang Ji could speak, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chao's thigh, and said miserably: "Zhang Account, you asked me to steal the formula at the beginning." ”

"Now that it's exposed, you'll have to stand up for me."

"Zhang Ji is not a person, they, they beat me well."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chao shuddered, hurriedly kicked the guy away, and shouted: "You guy, I don't know you, how can you slander people's innocence out of thin air?" ”

"Filthy and innocent? I can't see it. You Liu Ji is red with us, and it's not a day or two. Boss Zhang Ji said.

"What is Boss Zhang saying, the speech is based on evidence."

"Evidence? Isn't the witness right in front of you? Boss Zhang Ji pointed at the guy and sneered.

"If you still don't admit it, let's go to the government to confront each other and see how Master Qingtian judges!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chao was sweating profusely and blushing to argue with him.

For a while, the entire Liu Kee wine shop was in chaos.

......

Gu Beichuan walked on Chengnan Street, looking at the shops on both sides, he felt a sense of prosperity, and couldn't help but sigh: "This street in the south of the city is really prosperous and lively. ”

"Fauber, where is our shop?"

"Young Master, it's just ahead."

Gu Beichuan is not slow, and the reason why he has only arrived now is mainly to take care of Fu Bo.

Even if Fauber's body is still strong, after all, he is old, and his legs and feet are not good.

But when the two of them walked to the door of Liu Ji, they were startled by the chaotic scene.

After understanding the cause and effect, Fauber was in a hurry.

Liu Ji is the shop left by the young master by the young lady, how can there be such a thing as stealing people's secret recipes?

If the young lady knows under the spring, I am afraid that she will be worried about the liver and sausage.

Gu Beichuan also frowned, this is in ancient times, everyone attached great importance to reputation.

If the matter of stealing the formula is confirmed, I am afraid that Liu Ji's reputation will stink, and it will not be far from closing the door.

Thinking of this, he hurried through the crowd and stood up and shouted, "Liu Ji has not stolen wine!" ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Beichuan.
