Red Dust Daqian

Zhou Sen was slightly tipsy and had many dreams all night. He always felt a burning pain on his face, and woke up in the morning. Was it an alcohol allergy? No, this phenomenon had never happened to him before. What was going on?

Hey, why is this gauze curtain pink? Are you dazzled? "Mumu, hurry up and get up." With a startled roar, Zhou Sen woke up completely. This was not his fucking room, but Vanilla's bed. Could it be that the dream he had yesterday was real? He and Vanilla slept in the same bed. He seemed to have kneaded Vanilla's breasts like crazy last night. They were big and soft. Vanilla didn't seem to refuse and seemed to enjoy it very much.

But is that all I did? Did I do any serious work? Damn, I drank too much and forgot about it. How did I fall asleep in the end?

Before Zhou Sen could think more, another slap came at him. With a "paji", Vanilla on the inside of the bed cursed: "Semumu, you dared to molest me when I was drunk last night. Fortunately, I used up my last bit of strength and slapped you unconscious at the critical moment, otherwise I would have been ruined by you, a pervert." How disappointed Zhou Sen was to hear this. He just touched the peak and didn't accomplish anything else. What a waste.

Vanilla roared: "Hurry up and get up from my bed, otherwise..." Vanilla drew out her sword, and Zhou Sen quickly jumped up and rushed out the door.

After washing up, Zhou Sen accompanied Xiangcao to Qianmutang as usual.

Xiangcao carried out her swordsmanship instruction step by step. Now Qianmu Hall has gathered many orphans, and many of them with good qualifications have become Xiangcao's apprentices and grandchildren. The eldest apprentice is of course Shen Yueer.

Although the Xiangmu Society is currently short of funds, the Tiemutang and Yuemu Women's Guard Teams are still doing well and have grown to a considerable size.

Zhou Sen continued to study his distillation equipment. After some improvement, he could officially produce the blueprint, and then send someone back to Changnan County, asking Xiao Zhuyu to order people to make the distillation equipment. Zhou Sen was full of confidence at the moment, thinking that even if Li Qi stopped Li Ning'er from buying shares, Xiangmu Society would have to bite the bullet and tighten its belt to make the distilled liquor. The feedback from Zhao Tiezhu and others who had drunk it yesterday, as well as the regret of the onlookers who didn't get to drink it, fully demonstrated that distilled liquor had a market, and that liquor was a fast-moving consumer product, and its ability to attract money might surpass Zhuyutang Ceramics in the future.

Zhou Sen had just finished the sketch of the distillation vessel when the sound of mules and horses pulling carts rang out outside the Qianmu Hall. Zhao Tiezhu hurried into the studio, out of breath and so nervous that he couldn't even finish a sentence. From Zhao Tiezhu's stuttering words, Zhou Sen understood that Li Ning'er had come, and she had brought 20,000 taels of silver, and several carriages had already arrived at the door.

Zhou Sen was not calm when he heard this. Who on earth was this Li Ning'er? Twenty thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people in Daqian. This girl managed to get it easily overnight. Did her family's money get blown away by the wind?

Before Zhao Tiezhu could catch his breath, Li Ning'er's men had already parked the carriage in the backyard of Qianmu Hall. Li Ning'er walked towards Zhou Sen. At this moment, in Zhou Sen's eyes, Li Ning'er was emitting a charming golden light. This was the God of Wealth walking towards him, and it was a charming and extremely beautiful female God of Wealth. How could Zhou Sen not be impressed?

Walking up to Zhou Sen, Li Ning'er said calmly: Twenty thousand taels of silver have been in place, and the distillation of liquor has begun.

Zhou Sen's jaw dropped and he gave Li Ning'er a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart: "Awesome, Miss Shui is really decisive and efficient. It's a pleasure to do business with you." Xiangcao was also jaw dropped. It was the first time she saw 20,000 taels of silver piled in front of her. It was like a small mountain. However, Xiangcao was not fond of money. She had never even been to the treasury of Changnan County of Xiangmu Society. Before Zhou Sen's reform, the treasury of Xiangmu Society had piled up more cash than this.

Shen Qianrou and Shen Yueer had seen the world, and even before joining the Xiangmu Society, their Shen family was able to gather so much cash, but Zhou Sen had said before that they would draw a clear line with the Shen family in terms of money after joining the Xiangmu Society. However, even if Shen Qianrou went to the Shen family to take out 20,000 taels of silver, it would not be as easy as Li Ning'er, who raised it overnight, and even Li Qi did not show up.

In Shen Qianrou's study, Zhou Sen organized Shen Qianrou, Xiangcao, Zhou Sen, Shen Yueer, Zhao Tiezhu, and Li Ninger to hold a closed-door meeting - the Xiangmu Society Jiangxiazhou Conference.

At the meeting, Zhou Sen directly announced that the Shuimu Hall would be established under Xiangmu Society to specialize in the liquor business. Xiangmu Society and Li Ning'er would each hold half of the shares, and Li Ning'er would be the head of Shuimu Hall. Li Ning'er had no doubts about this decision, and of course, everyone would have no doubts either. After all, they provided Xiangmu Society with 2 taels of silver at one time, which almost solved the current crisis of Xiangmu Society.

Li Ning'er was even more satisfied with the name "Shui Mu Tang". "Shui Girl" was Zhou Sen's unique name for her. The "Shui" in Shui Girl and the "Mu" in Zhang Mumu, it seemed that Zhou Sen had thought about it for a long time and came up with such a nice and meaningful name. From now on, she and Zhou Sen would be entangled together forever.

Zhou Sen felt that Li Ning'er was staring at him and smiling inexplicably. He kept muttering in his heart, what's wrong with this girl? This name is just a random one. Isn't it normal to call her Shuimutang when running a wine business? Why is she so excited?

At the meeting, Zhou Sen directly handed the drawings of the polished wine distillation vessels to Zhao Tiezhu, and asked Zhao Tiezhu to take the drawings and personally escort 10,000 taels of silver to Changnan County to solve the financial crisis of the Xiangmu Society headquarters. He repeatedly emphasized that after arriving in Changnan, Xiao Zhuyu should coordinate with the personnel to burn the distillation vessels as soon as possible. The sooner the vessels were delivered, the sooner the financial pressure would be completely resolved.

Zhao Tiezhu was also quite efficient. After receiving the order, he directly selected his trusted personnel and set off in a horse-drawn carriage.

Then Zhou Sen allocated another 5,000 taels of silver to Qianmu Hall and handed it over to Shen Qianrou for distribution. After all, the entire Jiangxiazhou Xiangmu Society is now managed by Shen Qianrou. Shen Qianrou knows better how to use these 5,000 taels of silver. It should be enough for Jiangxiazhou Qianmu Hall to relieve the pressure for a while.

Fifteen thousand of the twenty thousand taels of silver were spent in an instant, and none of them were used on Shuimu Hall. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been unable to sit still. Li Ning'er, on the other hand, did not even blink. Since he said that he would provide twenty thousand taels of silver to Xiangmu Society to solve the financial pressure, he would let Zhou Sen spend it, as long as Shuimu Hall could be opened.

There were 5,000 taels of silver left, of which 3,000 taels were used to purchase muddy wine for distilling liquor in the vicinity of Jiangxia Prefecture. In this way, Shuimu Hall would not have to brew from grain, greatly saving the cycle of Qianmu Hall's production of distilled liquor.
