Ning Wang Fu did not lack manpower, nor did it lack money. For everything, Little Prince Li Xuan only needed to move his mouth, and the people below would naturally take care of it.
However, building the workshop, making the distillation equipment, purchasing the raw materials, and giving the workers in the workshop some simple training. These things could not be completed in a day or two, and required at least a few days of preparation.
With sufficient funds and manpower, the production of spirits could also be put on the agenda at the same time. Moreover, alcohol distillation only had a simple purification process, which was even simpler than the production of Ruyi dew, but the profits could not be compared.
This world also had an incomparably long wine culture. From the nobility to the common people, they all treated it as an important drink in their daily lives.
The reason why Li Yi did not release spirits until now was because the cost of this thing was too high. After buying a jar of low alcohol content and distilling it, there would not be much left. Distilling a few large jars of wine into a small jar, although the price would be more expensive than the original, but Li Yi currently did not have much wealth, and could not afford to burn money like this.
Li Xuan was not the same. He was stupid but had a lot of money, and had a strong background. Even though he was a bit unreliable, but his temperament was still on the same path as Li Yi, and finding him to cooperate with was the most suitable.
After eating, Liu Ruyi did not stay in the shop for long, and left with Xiao Huan and the others. The thing that Fang was worried about did not happen, and Second Miss acted as if nothing had happened.
But because of this, his heart was even more perturbed.
According to Second Miss's temperament, if she knew that son-in-law actually had improper thoughts about her, son-in-law most likely wouldn't be able to stand here well.
But she actually did not have any reaction. Could it be that, between the two of them, there was really some unspeakable secret?
Fang felt that he could not continue thinking about it. The implications of this matter were too big, and had already far exceeded the scope of his control.
The family matters of son-in-law and Eldest Miss, it was better to leave it to them …
After struggling for a long time, Fang didn't continue to make things difficult for himself.
Li Yi didn't know that Fang's thoughts had changed hundreds and thousands of times. It was boring to stay in the yard and bask in the sun all the time. After instructing Fang to look after the shop, he strolled out of the shop slowly. Standing on the street, he heard the faint singing of "I wish you a long life, thousands of miles apart …" coming from the brothel not far away. Li Yi was stunned and looked over.
…
A moment later, in the brothel next to Ruyi Square, a young gentleman picked a remote seat and sat down. The singer on the stage was singing "Shuidiao Getou" in a melodious voice. The young gentleman curled his lips. He could vaguely hear him saying words like "no authorization" and "copyright fee". He waved his hand at the shop assistant not far away.
"Sir, what do you need?" The waiter hurriedly ran over and asked with a face full of smiles.
"Bring a pot of tea."
"Alright, please wait a moment, the tea will be served soon."
The waiter responded, and not long after, the tea was served.
Li Yi took a sip of tea. When he looked up again, the singer on the stage had already retreated, and a few women were dancing on the stage. Their sleeves fluttered in the wind, and it was a beautiful sight.
Many cheers came from the seats below the stage. When they saw the excitement, they took out a few copper coins and threw them on the stage.
The copper coins hit the dancers, but they didn't dodge or dodge. It was as if they were already used to it.
Li Yi watched the dance on the stage with great interest. This kind of dance that was filled with the beauty of classical elegance was very pleasing to the eye. At least, in his opinion, it was more than a thousand times better than the so-called South Korean dances of the future, where people showed their navels and thighs on the stage.
It was just that the behavior of the audience below was a little vulgar and spoiled the scene. However, in this era, the status of actors and actresses was extremely low. Although many people liked to watch them perform, deep down, they looked down on these actors and actresses.
This was different from the celebrities of the future generations. Everyone was an actor. One was so miserable, while the other was like the moon surrounded by stars. If these seniors knew how the actors of the future generations were treated, would they feel gratified, or would they lament?
…
The brothels here were equivalent to the theaters of the future. They mainly performed plays, songs, and dances. It was one of the few places of entertainment for the people living at the bottom of society. Li Yi also came here to watch the songs and dances, listen to the plays, and experience the entertainment activities of the people of this world.
In the past, he naturally had no interest in these things. The entertainment activities of the 21st century were very developed. When he was bored, he could choose to watch movies or surf the Internet. Unfortunately, there were only a few forms of entertainment in this world, so he could only make do with it.
After paying ten coins at the door, he could stay here for a day and watch as many programs as he wanted. Of course, other expenses had to be calculated separately.
There were about a hundred seats in the brothels. At this time, most of them were not full. Li Yi drank a cup of tea for about half an hour. During this time, there were two performances of singing and dancing on the stage. One was an opera. The singing and dancing were not bad. As for the opera, it was really a little boring. After a while, Li Yi lost all interest.
In his heart, he thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would also open a theater like this and let those singers sing popular songs. Instead of singing, they would not sing those boring plays. They would perform something like the Legend of the White Snake or the Journey to the West. It would be more interesting.
The rich seemed to like this. They would buy a few actors and let them perform for them. When they were free, they could also do some unspoken rules. Just thinking about it made people envious …
…
"Sister Wan, they are coming down soon. What are you going to sing this time? 'Immortals at the Magpie Bridge'?" Behind the stage, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl asked the gentle woman beside her with a flushed face.
"It's time for Sister Wan to go on stage? Then we'll be able to receive a lot of rewards! "Another girl said with a smile.
"Sister Wan sings well, so they will naturally give you more tips …" That girl rolled her eyes at her and looked ahead. She immediately said, "They are already done. Sister Wan, hurry up and go up."
The sweet-tempered woman smiled and waited for the people who had just finished singing to come out before she slowly walked in.
At the same time, Li Yi, who had lost interest in watching anymore, stood up from his seat, paid for the tea, and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the door, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers in the brothels. Li Yi stopped in his tracks. When he was about to look back, he saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of Ruyi Workshop, surrounding it and pointing at it.
Li Yi frowned slightly and walked over quickly.
