After returning to the stockade village, he first went to the workshop that made Ruyi's nectar. The autumn weather was a bit chilly, but in the workshop, several men topless were working in full swing.
Although their daily work was very simple, they obviously didn't feel bored and were full of energy at all times.
It was no wonder. What they did here was not tiring work. It was much easier than herding horses or doing farm work. Not only that, they had meat to eat and wine to drink every day. At night, they could sit on the kang with their wives and count the money. After counting the money, they would hide it. When they were in the mood, they could do something shameless. Life was very comfortable.
Li Yi stood outside the workshop and looked at it from afar. Everything was normal, so he turned around and walked in the direction of his home.
When he reached the door, he smelled a faint aroma of food before he stepped into the yard.
Xiao Huan went to the shop with him in the morning, so it was naturally not her cooking. Miss.Liu — not to mention that she didn't know how to cook, even if she did, Li Yi might not dare to eat it.
In the past, it was Xiao Huan or himself who cooked, so Li Yi subconsciously thought that the two sisters didn't know how to cook. It was not until a few days ago that he found out that Ruyi also had extraordinary cooking skills. Even Xiao Huan, who had learned some of his skills, couldn't compare.
Later, it was Xiao Huan who told him that before the old master left, when Xiao Huan and Second Miss were young, it was always the eldest miss who cooked. Xiao Huan learned most of her cooking skills from her.
If it was in the future, she would probably be the kind of girl who was good-tempered, had extraordinary cooking skills, and had a black belt in Taekwondo. She would be the goddess in the hearts of countless men, and of course, she was also the ideal type for Li Yi.
But at that time, he couldn't be more ordinary. This kind of goddess-like girl probably wouldn't even look him in the eye.
Now that he thought about it, in his previous life, he often gave up his seat to old people on the bus, occasionally helped old grannies cross the road, and was willing to help others without pocketing the money he picked up … In the end, there were rewards.
"My husband, you're back. After you've washed your hands, come and eat." As soon as Li Yi stepped into the courtyard, he heard a gentle voice.
After living together for so long, Liu Ruyi was no longer surprised by Li Yi's habit of washing his hands before eating.
Recently, Li Yi came back around this time every day. By the time he reached home, the meal was already prepared. The feeling of always having someone waiting for him at home was very good. Not far away, Xiao Huan had already taken the initiative to fetch water for him. An imperceptible smile appeared on Li Yi's face as he strode over.
…
…
"Brother Qian, you seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going?"
"Ruyi Square."
"Ruyi Place … sounds unfamiliar. Could it be a new brothel in the prefecture?"
"…"
"Brother Qian, you're not being honest. Why didn't you call Little Brother over for such a good thing? Why don't we go together? We can see for ourselves what kind of girls from Ruyi Place are like … "
…
On the streets of Qing 'an Prefecture, Fang heard the conversation between two scholarly men. He pursed his lips and muttered, "I was right, wasn't I? This is obviously the name of a brothel. Second Mistress still doesn't believe me …"
Li Yi glanced at Fang. This fellow had righteously told him that other than Ruyi Place, nothing else was suitable for the name of the shop. The few of them had rejected his suggestion of 'Six Spirits Place'. Their opinions were unanimous. He had no choice but to name the shop 'Ruyi Place'.
If it had been called 'Six Spirits Place', there would not have been so many misunderstandings, right?
Of course, the name 'Ruyi Place' was not without its merits. At least, it could attract a large group of men who did not know the truth. Li Yi was extremely suspicious that the scholars who bought the Ruyi necklaces only had the same intentions as what the scholar had said …
Behind the two of them, the faces of the four young girls were filled with excitement. They usually stayed in the village and rarely came to the prefecture. There were many things here that were full of novelty to them.
With these young girls, Li Yi did not have to stay in the shop all the time. He could completely be a shopkeeper who did not have to do anything. When he had time, he would go to the brothel to listen to music. When he was in a better mood, he would accept the invitations of the girls and have a meal with them. They could talk about their dreams in life … Come on, have fun. After all, he had a lot of time …
At the entrance of Ruyi Place, there were already many people waiting.
Among these people, there were those who had already placed orders and were here today to collect the goods. There were also those who had specially come to place orders. Fang carried a large bamboo basket on his back. It was filled with the latest batch of Ruyi necklaces.
"The shopkeeper is here!"
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and open the door. We have been waiting here for a long time."
"After collecting the goods, I still have to go back and study …"
…
When the crowd saw Li Yi and Fang walk over, there was immediately a commotion.
"Everyone, don't push. Those whose orders say that they will be delivered today, please wait over there for a moment. Those who need to place an order, please come this way …" Li Yi could already handle these situations easily. As he spoke, the crowd immediately split into two groups. They consciously lined up and stood in their respective areas.
"I say, shopkeeper, can't you bring more goods every day? There are so many people here, how is this enough?!" A certain man couldn't help but complain when he realized that his order had been queued up for several days.
As soon as his words left his mouth, it immediately resonated with the people around him.
"That's right, shopkeeper. The goods every day are really too little!"
"I placed an order two days ago and only received it today …"
"What, two days ago? Did you cut the queue? I placed an order seven days ago! "
Li Yi stretched out his hand and gestured for the crowd to be quiet. He then explained, "Everyone may not know this, but the production process of this Ruyi Dew is quite complicated. We work day and night, but we can only produce a few dozen bottles a day. If we produce more, I'm afraid that the efficacy will decrease."
The crowd was obviously very satisfied with this explanation. The Ruyi Dew was a strange item that had never been seen before. It was normal for the production process to be complicated. No wonder it was so expensive to sell it for one tael of silver.
And this shopkeeper was obviously a merchant with a conscience. In order to not reduce the efficacy of the Ruyi Dew, he was willing to earn so much money. He was really a model for other shops. For a moment, the crowd couldn't help but look at him with respect.
After a while, the customer who received the Ruyi Dew left with satisfaction. The crowd who placed the order and could only pick up the goods after a few days were not too dissatisfied. After all, where could they find a shopkeeper who was so considerate to them? It was fine to wait for a few days as long as the quality of the goods was guaranteed.
Seeing that there were not many Ruyi Dew left and a thick stack of orders on the counter, Fang couldn't hide the silly smile on his face. He glanced at the door and saw someone coming in, so he hurriedly walked over. "I'm sorry, today's Ruyi Dew is sold out. If you didn't place an order in advance, you can only place an order and pick up the goods after a few days."
"Are you the shopkeeper here?"
The person who came was a young man. He glanced sideways at Fang, and a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes when he saw his clothes.
"Didn't you hear the young master asking you a question? Are you the shopkeeper here?" The two young men behind the young man glared at Fang when they saw that he didn't speak.
Seeing the disdainful expression on the young man's face and the arrogant look of the two people behind him, Fang narrowed his eyes.
These people didn't come with good intentions …
