Chapter 43: Food and Wine

"How's my mother's business today?"

Yun Niang calculated the accounts for the day, and closed her mouth happily, until her daughter asked a little anxious, and then said:

"Ling'er, we are thanks to Xiaoyun's game and honey wine today, especially the honey wine sold for fifty taels today!"

Because the quality of the honey wine brewed by Yunxiao is very good, and the honey wine itself is a high-end wine, so a jar of honey wine is sold for ten taels of silver, Yun Niang knows that if such a jar of honey wine is wholesaled in the city, it will be more than ten taels of silver, but most of the customers of the Li Family Inn are poor people, ordinary guests such as foot merchants, and they can't pay the price at all, plus the inn is located outside the city There are too few guests, otherwise the profit will be more considerable.

After the evening rest, the mother and daughter closed the door of the inn, and came to a large warehouse that Yunxiao had vacated for winemaking, and after opening the door and entering, the mother and daughter were stunned, because they saw that the warehouse was already full of honey wine in a small half warehouse, and there were one or two hundred jars.

"Xiaoyun, are these all the wines you brewed, all of them honey wine?"

Faced with thousands of taels of silver honey wine, Yun Niang was a little out of shape in surprise, and Ling'er was even more at a loss for what to do with a pair of blank eyes.

"Boss, these are honey wines, these are osmanthus wines, these are daughter red, these are better, this is ice wine, this is amber, this is thyme, this is wild wine!"

Yunxiao pointed to a few jars of wine on the side and said, "These jars of medicinal wine are brewed for the proprietress you, I don't think you are in good health!"

Yun Niang looked at Yunxiao, who was busy with sweat, and was speechless with emotion, but Ling'er admired Yunxiao's ability even more.

"Boss, in a few days I will find the lost scholar, the butler, and we will be able to make more fine wine!"

Yun Niang, who came back to her senses, looked at each jar of wine carefully, and suddenly she thought of a question:

"Xiaoyun, aren't these wine jars in the storehouse in the inn, I remember that there are not so many wine jars in the storehouse?"

"I burned most of these jars myself!"

As soon as Yunxiao's words came out, Yun Niang and Ling'er immediately petrified, and the two of them had a thought in their hearts at the same time, what else Yunxiao would not do. When the two saw that the backyard had just been covered, and the porcelain kiln that was firing wine jars, bowls, plates, and cups, they couldn't say a word.

Early the next morning, Yunxiao took a bow and arrow to Nanshan to hunt, yesterday I happened to hear the conversation of the dart master, and learned that there was a tiger in Nanshan, he decided to find some medicinal wines such as tiger bone wine that the tiger brewed better, and by the way dug up a few medicinal materials, such as ginseng, notoginseng and so on.

A stream of several zhang on the south mountain flows northward, and all kinds of wild beasts often come here to drink, and since it is already a deep mountain, only those experienced old hunters dare to come here.

A ferocious tiger with two cubs was foraging in his territory, and two hunters in the prime of life hid in a tree and bent their bows and arrows, but the tiger found the breath of a living man, and let out a tiger roar, and one of the hunters was so frightened that he fell from the tree.

Seeing this, the other hunter hurriedly opened his bow and released the arrows, but the feather arrows missed, and the hunter who fell from the tree was about to die in the tiger's mouth, when suddenly a rapid sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air came, hitting the tiger's mouth, and the feathered arrows shot out of the tiger's mouth until there were no feathers.

The tiger whined a few strange times, fell to the ground and died, and before the two little tigers could escape, they were caught by two ropes, and then a large net fell, tying the two little tigers to death.

"Thank you little brother for helping, may I ask the little brother, where is the name of the person, the surname of Gao?

The hunter who fell under the tree broke his leg, he struggled to get up, saw Yunxiao who came with a bow and arrow, knew that Yunxiao had saved him, and hurriedly thanked him for saving his life.

"What did Brother Zhao say, we are hunting in the mountains and old forests, we are risking our lives, how can we not save ourselves when we see death! ”

Zhao Da, Zhao Wu, and the brothers saw Yunxiao carrying the dead tiger and the two little tigers alone, and they were secretly stunned, and were amazed that Yunxiao's divine power was amazing. After the three of them left the deep mountains and old forests with their companions, they broke up and went home separately.

Yun Niang's mother and daughter saw Yunxiao resisting a tiger, and the two little tigers came back, and they almost fainted with joy, and within a few days, Yunxiao hunted a tiger, and the reputation of the Li Family Inn for fine wine and food spread to Anton City.

"Yun Niang, this Fifth Master Zhang heard that Xiaoyun had hunted a tiger, and he was willing to bid a thousand gold to buy a tiger skin!"

Yun Niang saw Uncle Xu come to the inn with a man who seemed to be a dignitary, and hurriedly walked out of the counter to let the man and Uncle Xu into the inner hall.

"That is the boss?"

Seeing this, Yun Niang hurriedly walked over to greet her, and asked cautiously:

"A few big brothers, what's the matter? The little woman is the proprietress here?"

"You are the boss lady, that's good, our lord needs tiger bones to cure diseases, and he is willing to bid two thousand taels to buy tiger skins!"

After several officials finished speaking, waiting for Yun Niang to reply, a sedan chair came from outside the inn, and an old man with white hair walked out of it.

"This is Yun Niang, my prince heard that your store hunted a white tiger, and asked Zhu to bring five thousand taels of silver to buy it!"

When the old man surnamed Zhu said this, he waved his hand, and several sturdy men walked outside: "These silk brocades are a small gift from my lord to Yun Niang!"

The distinguished guests brought by Uncle Xu, several officials, heard the words of the old man surnamed Zhu, and immediately respected him very much, Zhu Jing, the king of Ning in Andong City, was the master who said the same, and he was the real master of Andong City.

Although several officials were sent by the county guards of Andong City and other officials, they did not dare to offend King Ning's butler at all. So when Yunxiao gave the white tiger skin to the old man surnamed Zhu, they also left.

Since then, the Li Family Inn has been famous in Andong City for its delicious food and wine, and all kinds of mountain delicacies, and there is an endless stream of other distinguished guests from the city. Fortunately, soon, the Colorful Crystal Dragon, the Heaven and Earth God Ape, and the Nine-headed Lion King Li Tiangang came to the Li Family Inn.

The Colorful Crystal Dragon and the Heaven and Earth God Ape turned into two scholars, one literate and one martial, while the nine-headed lion king Li Tiangang claimed to be the old butler of the Yunxiao family. With the help of the three of them, Yunxiao is even more like a fish in water.

In the small river behind the Li family inn, Yunxiao arranged for people to dig a fish pond to breed all kinds of rare fish, and built a three-story restaurant next to the inn, and the wine shop and porcelain kiln opened behind the restaurant.

A year later, the Li family inn and Linyue Tower became the most famous place in Andong City, and the wine of the winery has become a tribute wine, and the porcelain produced by the porcelain kiln is famous all over the world, and the Li family has completely become one of the largest households in Andong City.
