"What are you doing?"
Fang crossed his arms and stared at them with wide eyes. An invisible force pressed towards them. Since they were not customers and seemed to be here to cause trouble, Fang did not stand on ceremony with them.
Putting aside the fact that Fang had a foundation in martial arts, being stared at by such a burly man was very oppressive. Normal people would feel a bit scared if they saw this.
Fang's ox-like eyes glared and a chill suddenly rose in the young man's heart. He couldn't help but take a few steps back. After he came to his senses, he felt a bit angry, but he didn't dare to glare at him. He suddenly raised his voice. "Who is the shopkeeper of Ruyi Workshop!"
Li Yi had actually been paying attention to this side since they entered the door. At this time, he stood up and slowly walked over. He looked at the young man indifferently and asked, "What is it?"
"You are the shopkeeper of Ruyi Workshop?" The young man looked at him with surprise. He didn't think that the famous shopkeeper of Ruyi Workshop in Qing 'an Prefectural City would be such a young scholar.
"What is it? Speak." The young man in front of him, from his expression to his attitude, was full of the appearance of a playboy. He didn't look like he was in business. If it wasn't for the principle that those who came were guests, Li Yi wouldn't have bothered with him.
"Our young master is looking for you. Of course it's a good thing!" The young man didn't say anything. Another young man beside him spoke up. "Our young master will buy the recipe for your Ruyi Dew for a thousand liang of silver!"
After the young man finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on the young man's face. He had a card up his sleeve.
A thousand liang of silver. They had probably never seen so much silver in their lives.
A mere formula could be sold for a thousand taels of silver. The young man was waiting for the poor scholar to be deeply grateful to him. Then, he would respectfully hand over the formula of the Ruyi Dew. That way, he would have achieved his goal.
Recently, this thing called Ruyi Dew had spread among the social circles of Qing 'an Prefectural City's young ladies and scholars. Everyone fought to buy it and it had become a fashion trend. However, the store only supplied a few dozen bottles a day. There were so many scholars and beautiful women in Qing' an Prefectural City. Most people wanted to buy it but couldn't. After he bought a bottle through various channels, he personally tried it and immediately realized the value it contained.
In the summer, it was cool and refreshing, and in the autumn, it repelled mosquitoes and insects. When one was tired, a few drops would immediately refresh one's mind and increase one's vigor. The effects of the Ruyi Dew were just like its name, extremely miraculous.
In his opinion, this small shop in Qing 'an Prefectural City was far from enough. If he opened a few more shops, how much profit would he be able to make? If he opened the store in the capital and entered the circle of true nobles … he could already see a mountain of silver floating in front of him.
Of course, all of this was under the premise that he could successfully obtain the recipe for Ruyi Dew.
However, he was not worried about this. Before he came, he had already investigated the owner of this store. He was a commoner with no background. If the other party was unwilling, he had countless ways to achieve his goal.
"Fang." As soon as Li Yi spoke, Fang immediately straightened his body.
"See the guest out."
Li Yi said lightly and turned to walk in the direction of the counter.
A thousand liang of silver for the recipe for Ruyi Dew?
Even if this number was increased by ten times, or a hundred times, he still wouldn't agree.
Whether it was the Ruyi Dew or the perfume and spirits that were still in the planning stages, the core technology was alcohol distillation. This was related to his future business. Li Yi couldn't sell distillation.
"Gentlemen, please?" Fang stood in front of the three and said coldly.
A thousand liang of silver for the recipe for Ruyi Dew? Dream on!
Although Fang was a bit stupid, he was not a fool. According to the store's recent income, he could earn a thousand liang of silver in less than a month. Even if Li Yi agreed to sell the recipe for a thousand liang of silver, Fang would not agree …
The change happened too quickly. The young man couldn't react in time, and his smile froze on his face.
Things were a little different from what he had expected.
In his previous view, if the other party was not tactful and didn't want to sell the recipe, he could increase the price. He could also accept two thousand liang of silver. If the other party didn't know what was good for him and brought up his identity, then everything would be settled.
But who would have thought that this scholar wouldn't even give him a chance to bring up his identity? He turned hostile like flipping a book …
"How dare you! Do you know that my master is …"
A young man beside the young man revealed an angry expression. He had just opened his mouth to say a few words when he was glared at by Fang.
Fang didn't care who this guy was. Even if the county magistrate was here, he had to be reasonable. Whoever wanted to rob Fang of his money was his enemy. He clenched his fist and revealed a fierce expression. He said fiercely, "If you don't leave, I will personally send you out …"
Seeing the burly man in front of them clenching his joints so hard that they made cracking sounds, the three of them turned pale and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The young man raised his head and said coldly, "In this prefecture city, it's best to lower your heads. Otherwise, you won't even know how you die."
"How dare you threaten me!"
A trace of anger appeared on Fang's face. He casually picked up a chair beside him. The young man was about to say something, but he was dragged away by the two young men beside him.
"You run fast. If I see you again, I will break your legs!" Fang said fiercely. He looked at the backs of the three fleeing figures and put down the chair heavily.
"These bastards wanted to buy our formula for a thousand taels of silver. Why didn't they just rob …" Fang was still angry even after the three of them had left for a long time.
Li Yi sat behind the counter and looked thoughtfully at the bustling pedestrians on the street outside.
Today's foppish young master had also given him a reminder. An ordinary man is innocent, but a man's wealth is a crime. The profits of the Ruyi Dew were huge, and as time passed, it would definitely attract the attention of more people. Even in the future, this kind of robbery was common, not to mention in this era, for some people, the restriction of the law was extremely low.
Moreover, the launch of Ruyi Dew was only the first step. If the business became bigger in the future, it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't be targeted by more people.
At that time, what should he do?
After all, he was just a commoner. If he really encountered such a thing, should he let Fang beat them up? Beat them up? Or beat them up?
Obviously, this was not the solution to the problem.
An individual's martial strength was completely useless at this time.
Just as Li Yi thought of this and frowned, someone walked in from the entrance of the shop.
