THE YOUNG BREWMASTER'S ADVENTURE (DASHING YOUTH)

001 Donggui Tavern

Chaisang City is under the jurisdiction of Runzhou and is the richest city in the entire Southwest Road. It is home to many wealthy merchants and scholars, so nobles passing by the Southwest Road will come to this city as long as they have time. It is said that the nine cities in Qingzhou can only account for eight points of the world's wealth, and one point is given to the imperial capital Tianqi City, and the remaining one point is half given to other cities, and the other half is left to Chaisang City. The richest family in Chaisang City is the Gu family of Jinqianfang.

So he chose this place to open his tavern.

This street is called Longshou Street. It is very prosperous and very close to Gu's home.

The tavern he opened had to not only be prosperous, but also have to have people passing by be wealthy so that they could afford his wine.

Because his wine was very expensive, one cup cost twenty taels of silver.

Since he met his master that day, he has learned the wine-making technique for seven years. Now, after traveling hundreds of miles from Qiandong City to Chaisang City, he is of course very confident in the wine he brews.

But today, the thirteenth day after he opened his shop, still no one came. On the first day, someone came to ask about his wine, but left because it was too expensive. On the second day, a scholar in white drank a glass and praised it highly, saying he would come again the next day. On the third day, the scholar in white never came again, and no other customers showed up, not even those who asked about the price. Even the whole long street was deserted, but the strange thing was that the butcher who sold meat opposite, the old lady who embroidered shoes next door, the oil seller who never spoke, and the little Xishi not far away, still chopped meat, embroidered, poured oil, and made buns every day, as if the absence of customers did not affect their lives.

He sat on the steps at the door, basking in the sun, eating melon seeds and muttering to himself in annoyance: "I was once the little tyrant of Qiandong City. Why did I have to suffer in this unfortunate place?" He finally couldn't help it, threw down the melon seeds, walked to the butcher shop opposite, and watched the butcher's huge butcher knife slashing, without changing his expression: "Brother, come in and have a drink?"

The butcher looked at him coldly, as if he were an idiot.

"Not charging you money? Just consider it as making friends." He used his tried-and-tested routine in Qiandong City. He was confident that as long as this person drank his first free cup, he would want to drink the second cup, the 200th cup! By then, he would have made a lot of money.

The butcher responded with a crisp sound of broken bones.

He could only run to the oil seller's shop. The oil seller had a smiling face, although his words were very impolite: "Get out of the way, don't block me from looking at Xiao Xishi."

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Wine makes a man brave'? No matter how long you watch, you will just watch. But after drinking my wine, you will dare to do it." The young owner of the tavern coaxed him patiently.

"Go away." The oil seller still had a smile on his face.

"Okay." The young boss stood up immediately, cursing in his heart: If this happened in Qiandong City, I would burn down your oil shop! When he was reluctantly returning to the wine shop, a sudden sound of horse hooves interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw a carriage rushing in front, followed by eight servants on horseback wearing soft armor. It had just rained a few days ago, and there were puddles on the ground. The carriage was moving fast, splashing water all over the ground, and rushed forward. The young boss hurriedly stepped back a few steps, fearing that the splashing mud would wet his clothes.
