The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Books that are best-sellers must be good books and can be used to divert attention.

"Bring it here for me to see!"

The servant put the book on the table, and Jiang Li picked it up impatiently. But as soon as he saw the title of the book, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Journey to the West - Part 1

Does this also mean that there will be two, thirty, fifteen, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten in the future? !

Look at the author’s name again, Wu Cheng’en?

ha?

Isn’t that Zhao Yunchuan?

But Jiang Li soon realized that this was definitely a pen name. After all, no one who wrote a storybook would use his real name.

But why is he called Wu Cheng'en instead of Zhao Cheng'en?

Uh……

Maybe his mother’s surname is Wu!

Jiang Li thought about it for a while before opening the book and reading it with great interest.

Well, it is really good. You will never get tired of watching it even if you watch it again and again. You will still feel unsatisfied after watching it.

"Gone?"

The servant smiled and replied, "The owner of Mozhuju said that a sequel to Journey to the West will be released every ten days."

"So there's more to come?"

The servant nodded: "Yes, there is more to come, but you need to wait patiently."

Jiang Li laughed a few times, feeling very happy: "As long as it's available, I can wait!"

"Journey to the West" was extremely popular at the time, with more than 2,000 copies sold in the capital city in just a few days, not to mention that Mozhuju also had branches in other places.

Mr. Shu made a lot of money.

Although he likes reading, he is a down-to-earth businessman and naturally prefers making money.

Each book was sold for one tael and five cents of silver. In a few days, I earned three thousand taels. After deducting the cost, the profit was about one thousand five hundred taels. After a fifty-fifty split, there was still seven hundred and fifty taels left.

It is indeed a lot to earn so much in just a few days.

After the end of the year, each branch will also take stock of its accounts, and will receive a larger share then.

Their Mozhuju has branches in Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Just then, Xiao Er came over. Xiao Er’s surname was Wang and he was the second child in the family, so his name was Wang Xiao Er.

"Boss, Young Master Zhao sent someone to deliver something."

Master Zhao? Zhao Yunchuan!

"Send the manuscript?"

Probably not, he had already sent the manuscript of the second volume two days ago.

"No, Mr. Zhao sent a jar of wine over."

"liquor?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes, it's wine!"

He likes drinking tea and doesn't like drinking alcohol very much.

“Bring it here and let me see it!”

The waiter handed over the jar of wine.

The wine jar is very small, a mini version, only the size of an adult man's palm.

After Shu Dongjia took it, he opened the red cloth lid and instantly smelled the aroma of wine, which was mixed with the fragrance of grains, rich fruity aroma, and a faint aroma of fermented rice. It smelled fresh, sweet and refreshing.

"What kind of wine is this?"

The waiter replied: "Mr. Zhao said this is called pear drunkenness, it's not too strong, you can have a taste."

"Since he said so, wouldn't it be disrespectful for me to try it?" He ordered the waiter, "Go, bring a wine glass."

The waiter was very nimble and quickly brought the wine glass over and poured the wine attentively.

When the fruit wine goes down your throat, you'll first smell a sweet fruity aroma, followed by the mellow alcohol slowly spreading, leaving behind a long aftertaste that's intoxicating.

Not bad!

He originally thought that only tea had layers and needed to be savored slowly, but he didn't expect that the same was true for wine.

Mrs. Shu narrowed her eyes in beauty.

"Is this where he bought it?"

The waiter swallowed and said, "It was brewed by Mr. Zhao himself. His family opened a wine shop."

"Oh?"

It seems that the drunkard's real intention is not to drink.

Zhao Yunchuan gave gifts to almost everyone he knew. He gave white wine to the neighbors in Luer Lane. These people all have men, so white wine would be more to their taste.

The classmates in the academy gave me plum wine, which is sweet and sour and refreshing. Now that the weather is hot, iced plum wine is more popular.

Zhao Yunchuan also gave one to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was a little incredulous: "For me?"

"What else?" Zhao Yunchuan held the small wine jar in his hand and urged, "Do you want it or not? If you want it, take it. If not, forget it."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! I just didn't expect you would give me something."

Zhao Yunchuan: "What's impossible?"

This guy has a small number of people but a lot of money, and is a potential big customer. When it comes to money, he can turn a blind eye to the past.

It’s not important, at least not as important as money!

"You drink it. If you like it, you can buy it at the nameless wine shop in Luer Lane. For the sake of our classmates, I will give you a 10% discount!"

Jiang Li was in a good mood: "I will definitely go!"

He thought that his relationship with Zhao Yunchuan had eased, and he began to speak more casually: "Hurry up and write Journey to the West, and try to update more next time."

Zhao Yunchuan gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Li: "You really did secretly rummage through my desk box!"

It's going to happen!

What to do? I was careless.

Jiang Li quickly denied: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"Is it true that you didn't, or are you afraid to admit it?"

Of course I dare not admit it!

But Jiang Li would never say that, otherwise he would seem very cowardly. As a seven-foot-tall man, he definitely cannot be a coward!

"I just accidentally saw it when you were writing it."

Okay, you don’t want to tell the truth, right?

Then let’s all just talk nonsense together!

"Nonsense, Journey to the West was not written by me at all. It was written by my friend, and my friend's name is Wu Cheng'en!"

Wu Cheng'en: I suddenly gained a good friend out of nowhere!

Jiang Li looked like you were kidding me.

Zhao Yunchuan raised his eyebrows. That’s right, he was just teasing the fool.

Both of them had their own persistence and tacitly refused to tell the truth in some aspects, so the matter ended up in nothing and no one continued to ask.

Anyway, Zhao Yunchuan was certain that Jiang Li had secretly gone through his things, and Jiang Li was also certain that "Journey to the West" was written by Zhao Yunchuan.

……

Lin Dachang's grocery store has been doing very good business recently. Many people come to buy soap and eggs, and the sales of other goods in the store have also improved.

Mrs. Zhou: "Dachang, pack me five more bars of soap."

"to make!"

Lin Dachang went to pack soap. Xu Zizhu chatted with Zhou's wife: "Buying so many? Didn't you buy two bars last time?"

Mrs. Zhou was in a good mood: "I brought it for someone else."

The grandson's soap touched people's hearts. His master liked it very much. He gave him money and asked him to bring back a few more pieces.

Soon, Old Lady Zhou happily left with the soap.

Business has been good recently and Lin Dachang is very happy.

"Cook two more dishes for lunch today, and I'll have two drinks."

"How about drinking in the evening?" I still have to work in the afternoon.

"It's just a few drinks at noon. I can't get drunk."

Xu Zizhu nodded. Her man was indeed a heavy drinker, and two or three kilograms of liquor was no problem for him.

At noon, Xu Zizhu prepared several side dishes.

"Would you like to try the wine Zhao Tongsheng sent?"

Lin Dachang: "That's fine. If it doesn't taste good, I'll drink the ones we bought ourselves."

The white wine is also packaged in wine jars the size of a man's palm. When the red cloth lid is opened, a rich and mellow aroma hits you in the face.

Very rich but not pungent.

Lin Dachang immediately dipped the tip of his chopsticks into a little wine and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Well, that's good, quite powerful!"

You can tell at a glance that it’s not diluted with water!

Lin Dachang poured himself a bowl, ate the side dishes, and took a sip of the white wine. A warm and mellow taste instantly spread in his mouth. The taste was wonderful.

"This is good wine, would you like some?"

Xu Zizhu refused: "I can't drink that stuff."

"You should also drink less and don't get drunk."

"No, I can't get drunk!"

Lin Dachang was still very confident in his alcohol tolerance, but the more he drank, the more he drank. After only half a bowl, he felt a little dizzy.

"Wife, stop shaking, it makes me dizzy!"

Xu Zizhu: (⊙_⊙)

She is not shaking. Isn't she sitting steadily on the little stool?

"Are you drunk?"

Lin Dachang burped and said with some dissatisfaction: "You, you, you...what nonsense are you talking about? I can usually drink two kilograms of liquor, and this is only half a bowl. How can I get drunk?"

impossible!

"Hey, didn't I tell you to stop shaking? You're still shaking!"

Xu Zizhu: ...

She didn't want to talk anymore.

Such scenes also happened in other homes.

A person who usually could drink three or four bowls of wine got drunk after drinking only half a bowl this time and was unconscious.

After people woke up, everyone realized something was wrong.

The wine that Zhao Tongsheng sent is so strong. Not only is it strong, it is also delicious and fragrant!

"Is Zhao Tongsheng's wine shop about to open?"

“I heard it’s opening tomorrow!”

"Then let's go and take a look!"

"to make!"

The next day, after a string of firecrackers, the Wuming Tavern officially opened.

Many people came to support the event, including neighbors and some classmates from the academy.

Zhao Yunchuan did not forget his old profession. He got up early in the morning and made two full buckets of Coke, and put ice cubes in them. Now the ice cubes have melted, but the Coke is still icy.

Zhao Yunchuan would give a bamboo tube of Coke to anyone who came to support him.

"What is this? It's black."

But it feels cool in the hand, which is quite good. I put it to my lips and take a sip, and I feel refreshed instantly.

Wow, this stuff is really delicious.

Jiang Li also came, but when he saw the busy couple, he didn't dare to go forward for fear of being beaten. Fang Huai had indeed left a deep shadow on him.

He ordered the servant beside him: "Go, buy me some wine."

Jiang Li likes to drink, but he only likes to drink flower wine, preferably the kind that a beautiful woman feeds him mouth to mouth.

But Zhao Yunchuan’s plum wine is really good.

Even without a beautiful woman feeding him mouth to mouth, he still thought it tasted good.

"Buy me some of each kind of wine."

"Yes!"

There are two ways to sell Zhao Yunchuan's wine. One is to sell it by jar, which is divided into mini jars, small jars, medium jars, large jars, and extra-large jars.

The other type is sold by kilogram, and customers need to take the wine jug themselves.

Selling by weight will naturally be cheaper than selling on the forum, after all, the jars also have costs.

His wine is not cheap. It is the kind that rich people can drink without any burden, and poor people can afford it if they grit their teeth.

Jiang Li's servant quickly bought several jars of wine, all of which were mini jars.

The jar was placed in a small basket. He bought it from the grocery store next door, and he was holding two bamboo tubes in his hands.

"Is this the black stuff they drink?"

"Yes, it seems to be very delicious. Would you like to try it, Master?"

Say no!

The servant looked at the bamboo tube in his hand with sparkling eyes. He wanted to drink!

"Oh?"

Jiang Li reached out to take the bamboo tube from the servant and raised his eyebrows: "Since everyone says it tastes good, I will try it reluctantly."

After drinking it, I realized that what everyone said was true!

It tastes really good!

"what is this?"

The waiter licked his lips, a little greedy: "I heard from the shopkeeper that this is called Coke."

Oh, haven’t heard of it!

But it’s really delicious!

Jiang Li then ordered the servant: "Go and ask if this cola is for sale. If so, buy me a jar."

The servant went to ask excitedly, but came back dejected.

"The shopkeeper said he doesn't sell Coke today."

"What happens next?" Jiang Li asked anxiously.

"Not necessarily in the future!"

tsk...

It seems that Zhao Yunchuan is not very smart. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Coke is so cool and delicious. This is a business opportunity!

But this guy is stupid and can’t be caught!

It’s not that Zhao Yunchuan can’t catch him, it’s that he doesn’t want to catch him.

In fact, he is not that short of money now. He has a business cooperation with the Duan family and gets a share of the profits from cola, preserved eggs and duck eggs.

In addition, there is Journey to the West

Not to mention being extremely rich, at least being content with a small fortune.

Making Coke is hard work, and he has to go to school and doesn't have time. At the same time, he doesn't want Huai Ge'er to work too hard.

Since you are not short of money, you must make your life better.

The family has enough money from selling Coke.

I will never endure unnecessary suffering!

He does not believe in education through hardship.

"We not only have wine for men, but also wine for girls and boys. Plum wine, pear blossom wine, and hawthorn wine are not too strong and taste good. You can buy some back for the women in your family to try."

Zhao Yunchuan was selling the product in a favorable way. Some people bought it, but some did not.

Overall, business on the first day was neither good nor bad.

Two words: make do!

But many people wanted to buy Coke, and Fang Huai talked about this before going to bed at night.

"Husband, how about we sell Coke too?"

Anyway, summer is coming soon, and iced cola will definitely sell very well.

Zhao Yunchuan: "Be good, we won't sell it. It's too hard."

"It's not hard at all."

Which child in the village is not suffering? The Fang family used to have a good life in the village, but Fang Huai started working in the fields and hunting in the mountains when he was very young.

Therefore, the present life is not hard at all for him, it is quite good.

"I have to go to the academy in the morning and I can't get up!"

Fang Huai touched the big head lying on his chest and said unhappily, "Am I a beast in your eyes?"

Zhao Yunchuan: ???

What?

How come he turned into a beast out of nowhere?

"Brother Huai, what are you talking about?" Zhao Yunchuan grabbed Fang Huai's hand and put it on his chest: "Do you feel it? My heart beats for you. I'm not a pervert. How could I be attracted to a beast?"

Fang Huai felt sweet in his heart.

This man is really good at it.

He is totally overwhelmed!
