Old Fang turned around and saw a few men following behind a young man walking in from outside.
The young man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. However, the few men behind him all had solemn expressions. They were equipped with swords and sabers at their waists, and their faces were expressionless. They looked at people as if they were owed a few hundred taels of silver.
As soon as they walked into the shop, a formless murderous atmosphere filled the air. Seeing this, the two women who were about to enter the shop turned pale and hurriedly retreated.
They had just sent away a few people, and now another group of troublemakers had come?
A trace of anger appeared on Fang's face. He suddenly stood up from his seat and stared at the men with an unfriendly look. It seemed that if they dared to show any malicious intent, he would attack them in the next moment.
Seeing his aggressive look, the young man was stunned for a moment. The men behind him all changed their expressions and looked at Fang with vigilance. One of their hands was already on the hilt of the saber at their waists.
Fang's expression became a little ugly. Then, he became serious, which was rare for him.
These people were all not simple. If he had to face one of them, he had the confidence to win. However, if he had to face all of them at the same time, he had no hope of winning.
Fang and the men were confronting each other nervously. The young man walked past him and saw Li Yi coming out from behind the counter. He asked with some surprise, "Did you really open the Ruyi Workshop that has recently become famous in Qing 'an Prefecture?"
Li Yi wanted to say, "Are you blind?", but he remembered that the man was a young prince, so he held back.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fang and Li Xuan's attendants making eyes at each other affectionately. He couldn't help but feel a chill and said, "What are you doing?"
Li Xuan followed his gaze. After a moment of surprise, he waved his hand and said to the men, "Why are you following me? Get out."
Among the men, the leader saw the young man in the shop and finally felt relieved. He waved his hand and the men immediately left the shop.
He and Li Yi were old acquaintances. He knew that the young man had cured the princess's illness and was a friend of the young prince. He would not do anything harmful to the young prince.
However, he was puzzled as to why the young man always had masters following him. Although the big man in front of him looked simple and honest, his strength could not be underestimated. The young woman who followed him last time had unfathomable martial arts. Even in the whole jianghu, she could not be an unknown person.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Fang finally realized that the young man and the son-in-law knew each other. He was also relieved. He walked out of the shop and happened to meet the eyes of the man. There seemed to be some kind of fire when their eyes met.
Inside the shop, Li Yi looked around for a moment. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said to Li Yi, "That Ruyi Dew, give me 100 bottles first. I will take them with me when I leave."
Last time, he heard from Li Yi that he was going to open a shop in Qing 'an Prefecture to sell Ruyi Dew. He was curious for a while about what this Ruyi Dew was. Later, because he was busy with other things, he temporarily forgot about it.
Recently, Li Xuan had also heard about the Ruyi Dew that was popular in the circle of socialites and scholars. In his heart, he did not believe that the two were the same thing. He heard that it had the effect of repelling mosquitoes. Today, he wanted to buy some to show his filial piety to the princess. Only then did he find that the shopkeeper of the shop was actually Li Yi.
"100 bottles?" Li Yi glanced at him. "Don't even mention a hundred bottles, there isn't even a single bottle. Today's Ruyi Dew has already been sold out, and the order list is seven days later. If you want to get your hands on the Ruyi Dew, you'll have to wait at least seven days. What's more, Ruyi Dew can only be bought at most 20 bottles at a time. "
This rule was set by Li Yi. The purpose was to prevent some people from buying a large amount of Ruyi Dew and then reselling it at a high price.
"Seven days?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then directly shook his head and said, "Seven days is too long. I can't wait that long."
He reached out and patted Li Yi on the shoulder. His eyes were bright. Although he did not say anything, the meaning was already very clear.
After all, the two of them were friends who went to the brothel together. If he did not even help this little bit, it would be a little too unfriendly.
Li Yi sighed and said, "The production process of Ruyi Dew is very complicated. It takes several hours to produce a bottle of Ruyi Dew. What's more, we lack manpower, so it is impossible to produce a large amount."
"What's so difficult? Can't I find some people from the Prince's Mansion to help you?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand, indicating that this was not a problem at all.
Li Yi shook his head, "Having manpower is not enough. To produce Ruyi Dew, not only do we need to build a workshop, but we also need to buy raw materials, which requires a lot of money. What's more, we can't put all our energy into Ruyi Dew. Ruyi Workshop is about to start releasing perfume and spirits, so we also need manpower … I don't need to trouble you with these things. I'll ask them to speed up the work. In three days, we can't gather 100 bottles of Ruyi Dew, but there will be 50 bottles. You can send someone to pick it up at that time."
"Perfume?" The expression on Li Xuan's face was stunned, "What is this?"
A puzzled expression flashed across his face. He turned to look at Li Yi and murmured, "Spirits … how strong is it?"
Li Yi took a small porcelain bottle from the counter and opened the lid. A very strong wine fragrance floated out of the bottle.
This was the alcohol obtained after more than ten times of distillation. Although it had been blended, the alcohol content was still several times higher than the so-called spirits on the market.
"Good wine!"
As the wine fragrance entered his nose, an abnormal blush appeared on Li Xuan's face. His body swayed, and he grabbed the counter. He looked at Li Yi and said with burning eyes, "I'll help you with the manpower and workshop. You just need to tell me how this spirit is brewed … and … that perfume, what is it?"
Li Yi couldn't understand why a person with such a poor alcohol tolerance would be so interested in hard liquor … However, this wasn't important to him. He looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "How could I let you work for free? Why don't we consider this business a partnership? We'll split the profits fifty-fifty. How about that?"
"That's a good idea …" Li Xuan heard this, and after a moment of daze, he nodded without hesitation.
He didn't want to accept other people's kindness for free. He was originally a greedy person, but he would rather give up 50% of the profits … He really didn't misjudge him!
Outside the door, the leading man and Fang crossed their wrists to test their strength. Their faces were flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. On the contrary, Fang looked calm and there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
In terms of fighting, he might not be able to beat him, but in terms of strength, no one in the whole Willow Leaves Village could beat him. His opponent was still far behind!
Next to the two of them, the faces of the few men revealed a bit of shock. Their leader was known for his strength, but compared to this big man, it was obvious that he was far from enough. Where did this monster come from?
"Gulp …"
At this time, a strong wine fragrance floated out of the shop. Except for Fang, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
