Maybe it's because of the fact that Zhongli Mansion made a lot of movement in Yiwen to meet friends, and of course, it may be that the third lady in Zhongli Mansion really deserves it.

In the past, the alleys of Erjinggou were still lively, but now the streets and alleys are quite clean.

Li Chenan walked slowly to the east end of the alley.

The sunlight disappeared from the top of his head, and above his head was a thick branch of a banyan tree stretching out of the courtyard.

This is his shop.

In fact, if you count it, looking at the huge Guangling City, this Erjinggou alley is not the most remote place, if you set a level for this shop, it is roughly equivalent to a third-level port.

Not good, not too bad.

It also has a big advantage.

Diagonally opposite this shop is a seowon called Qianmo.

It is smaller than Takeshita Academy, but it has hundreds of students.

At this moment, there was no sound of reading in the Qianmo Academy, and the students who thought that they had come to the academy also went to Huaping Lake.

Li Chenan pushed open the door of the shop, stood inside and looked carefully, the wall was already mottled and needed to be repainted.

The stove is a bit of an eyesore and a nuisance, and you don't need it to open a tavern, you have to dismantle it.

Turn the stove into a bar, and there is a row of wine cabinets in the back, and the lanterns are a little old and need to be replaced with new ones, but those tables and stools can be used, so let's stay.

That's it, the key issue is winemaking.

Of course, it can't be here, it has to be put in the backyard.

Walking into the backyard, standing in the patio of the backyard and thinking for a while, it was decided to put the wine-making utensils and the place to store the grain in the west wing, although it was not big, but the tavern was originally small, and it was enough to produce ten catties of wine a day.

If you think about it carefully, this Ning Kingdom is roughly the same as the Tang Dynasty in the previous life.

In the Tang Dynasty, the highest degree of wine was about 20 degrees, and ordinary wine was only at 5 degrees, the key is that the price is still very expensive.

The price of liquor in Guangling City is also very expensive.

The cheapest liquor is sold for 300 yuan.

A small bucket is roughly four catties, and one catty is eighty dollars.

And a better wine, such as Guangling San in Guangling City, its price is 1,000 wen a bucket, 250 wen per catty!

In comparison, a bucket of rice is only 50 yuan, so wine is considered a luxury, and it is not something that ordinary people can consume.

The price of liquor made by distillation is inevitably more expensive, and the consideration is not the sales volume, but the special products for specific groups of people.

Of course, it is not a very good idea to sell luxury goods in Erjinggou Alley, because almost all the people who live here are ordinary people, and these people are not the target customers of the tavern.

Li Chenan thought about it carefully, if the wine in this year is fragrant, I am afraid that he is really not afraid of deep alleys, after all, it is a unique thing, and it is a big deal to take some marketing means to attract those rich customers in Guangling City here.

Therefore, the shop must be worthy of the identity of those people, and the decoration needs to be more elegant.

For example, the appearance of a bar in a previous life should be low-key, mysterious, and connotative.

Don't ask why it's brewing again, because this thing is the easiest thing to achieve, and the key is to make huge profits.

Of course, refining refined salt is also a huge profit, but that thing is controlled by the government, and when you don't have enough strength, you want to get salt because the old birthday star hangs himself and doesn't want to live.

Li Chenan planned carefully, made a simple calculation, and found a problem, the two taels of silver in his pocket were not enough.

Mainly the equipment for brewing, the decoration of the shop, and the purchase of grain, it costs about thirty taels of silver!

How is this going on?

The finances of that family are now controlled by Li Wenhan's concubine, and it is obviously impossible to go back and ask for silver.

Sitting in front of the stone table in the patio, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Li Chenan combed his memory again while grinding the ink, trying to find some other ways to make money from his memory.

Yu Heng, who was squatting on the roof and secretly observing him, showed a look of doubt on his face.

After pondering, the boy put pen to paper, and wrote a dozen or so sheets one by one without stopping, and the sadness on his face was gone, replaced by a piece of peace.

Li Chenan did think of some simple ways to make money.

There are so many people in Huaping Lake than now, and if you want to come to the Wenhui for a while, you can use the two taels of silver in your hand to buy some tea and pastries and sell them at the Huaping Lake.

Or go and order food and deliver food to those talented people.

Or...... Didn't the third lady ask the talented people who went to the painting boat to compose poems?

I have a lot of this stuff in my head, and I guess it can be sold for an excellent price, which is also the easiest way.

So what he wrote on paper were some poems that he believed would be enough to make his first pot of gold.

Drying the paper on the table, and then putting it in his arms, he was about to get up and go to the shore of the Picture Screen Lake to sell these poems when a person came up to him.

I've seen it.

It was the handsome gentleman in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

The paper kite frowned slightly when she stepped into the backyard, because it was too shabby.

"Childe,"

The paper kite stood in front of Li Chen'an, a head shorter, and she leaned her neck.

"Something?"

"My family, my son-in-law invited my son-in-law to go to Huaping Lake for a while. ”

Li Chenan was stunned, thinking that his couplet was remembered by the handsome boy, and thought to himself, could it be that he took the couplet and boarded the painting boat?

And then you have the qualifications to do poetry again?

It is estimated that the handsome boy can't make any good poems, after all, generally speaking, appearance is inversely proportional to talent.

That boy was born too flawlessly, and naturally there were not a few drops of ink in his chest.

Thinking like this, Li Chen'an suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He simply sat down, looked at the beautiful little guy in Tsing Yi in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, please tell your son-in-law, I'm not available." ”

The paper kite froze for a moment, obviously not expecting that the guy in front of him would refuse.

You must know what a great honor it is to be invited by the four princesses of Daning, which is the dream of many teenagers!

If this guy is taken by the four princesses, with the grace of the four princesses in front of the emperor, he only needs her words, and this down-and-out son will be able to rise to prominence immediately.

But he said he wasn't available!

By the way, he didn't know that it was Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess.

The paper kite endured his temperament and said: "Seeing that the son lives here, there is no busy move, if the son goes to the painting screen lake, it will only delay the son for a while...... Maybe it's more rewarding to walk than to sit here. ”

The meaning of these words was already obvious, but Li Chenan thought about it.

He became more and more convinced that the handsome boy needed to make an amazing poem for him.

He took out a stack of papers from his arms, took one out of his hand and put it on the stone table, and said with a smile: "This is a poem, for price...... One hundred taels of silver, with this word, your son-in-law will definitely be able to get what he wants. ”

When Li Chenan said this, he kept looking at the paper kite, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he sold a hundred taels of silver just for a single poem, which did seem to be a little dark.

Whether he is willing to pay such a large sum of money to buy a poem depends on the determination of the handsome boy.

With the wealth that the son is wearing, it is nothing to think of a hundred taels of silver, if the son is obsessed with the third lady of Zhongli Mansion, then this transaction is very likely to be completed.

That's supply and demand.

Now it seemed that at least the handsome boy was not short of money, for the squire was not too shocked when he heard the price, but was only stunned for a moment.

The paper kite was indeed stunned for a moment, firstly, what did His Highness want this word for? Second, it was a hundred taels of silver to buy a poem...... Is this expensive?

Not expensive.

But see from whose hands!

If it is from the hands of the old Confucian of the Tai Academy, it is hard to find.

If it is from the hands of the four great talents of Yujing City, it is also worth a thousand gold.

But the man in front of him ......

Living in such a humble house, how can you have a good reputation?

The Ning Empire attached great importance to literati, especially talented literati, and if this person was well-known in Guangling, it was impossible for Lijingsi not to know about it.

Tsukasa really didn't know that such a teenager existed.

So even if he is talented, it is because he thinks he is talented.

The paper kite showed a mocking smile, thinking that His Highness had looked away this time, this person ...... I don't seem to know how many pounds and taels I have.

Arrogant!

Her eyes fell on the piece of paper, and all she thought about was how to complete His Highness's task and let this young man who didn't know the height of the sky go to Huaping Lake. He went, and His Highness would talk to him more, and His Highness would be able to see his face clearly, and he would not be interested in him at all.

As the maidservant of the fourth princess, Paper Kite can't say that she has much knowledge of poetry, but she also has a certain understanding under her ears and eyes.

When she looked at it, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

The look on her face became serious, and the contempt in her eyes vanished.

She recited it carefully and silently twice, and felt more and more that this poem was extremely amazing.

As for what is amazing, I can't say it, but I think it seems to be more distant than the poetry made by the four great talents of Kyoto Yujing.

Li Chenan smiled and carefully watched the changes in the paper kite's expression, and his heart was already steady.

He knew that the money would definitely not be able to run away, so it depended on whether the squire would make a counteroffer.

After all, it was a sale, and if he haggled for half of the price...... also sells, after all, there is a shortage of silver, and this thing doesn't need capital.

The paper kite looked up at Li Chenan suspiciously, his face was still calm and calm, and he seemed to be extremely confident in this poem worth a hundred taels of silver.

In fact...... He opened the price low.

However, he is unknown, and the price is appropriate.

After he became famous, this poem should be worth a thousand gold according to the paper kite's estimate!

She thought to herself that His Highness's intention of inviting this young man to the Yanyu Pavilion was also to know how his poems were, and the third lady of Zhongli Mansion was also interested in this young man in the couplet he made.

As for the people, he lives here, and Miss Zhongli can come here at any time if she wants to see him.

Or meet by chance.

If you look at the eyes, then say the following, if you don't match the eyes, this matter can be revealed without a trace.

In this way, it will not have any impact on the reputation of the third lady of Zhongli Mansion.

So she took out a purse from her bosom and took out a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels from it. She put the silver ticket on the table, took the paper, and her eyes fell on Li Chenan's hand.

Li Chenan was still holding the stack of papers in his hand.

"Childe, if you have time, why don't you go with me to Huaping Lake to meet my son-in-law?"

When the money is in hand, Li Chenan will not go.

He waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, I really have a lot to do...... In a few days, about twenty days, if your son-in-law has time, invite him to my tavern for a glass of good wine made by my own hands!"

"I'm in for a treat. ”

The paper kite looked around, and sniffed with its nose, but there was a faint musty smell in the air, and there was a smell of wine.

After all, he is a teenager, what kind of good wine can he make?

Can it be better than Guangling San in Guangling City?

Not to mention Ruilu in Yujing City.

Besides, with the dignity of His Royal Highness, how could he come to such a dilapidated place.
