Red Dust Daqian

Zhou Sen was also very generous when it came to spending money. He distributed the 20,000 taels of silver as soon as he got it, and only 2,000 taels of silver were left for Li Ning'er to use. The 2,000 taels were also needed to purchase the venue needed to operate Shuimu Hall, as well as the operating funds before Shuimu Hall opened.

Shen Qianrou, who had a relatively clear understanding of the real estate prices in Jiangxia Prefecture, was worried about Li Ning'er. It would be quite difficult to find a place that could meet the needs of Shuimu Hall's operations with 2 taels of silver, not to mention that the 2 taels also included other operating funds.

Li Ning'er also has her own ideas about the appearance of Shuimu Hall. She hopes that Shuimu Hall can be placed around Qianmu Hall so that they can take care of each other. Most importantly, Zhou Sen won't have to run around in embarrassment. After all, this guy always likes to go to Qianmu Hall and secretly look for Shen Qianrou. Secondly, the venue must be large enough to accommodate distillation, storage, and sales of alcoholic beverages.

As for the early preparations for the event and the publicity, they can start now. Xiangmu Society has recruited many new reserve personnel to expand its power. They are still undergoing training and brainwashing, and have not been assigned specific tasks. Li Ning'er can directly select personnel to work in Shuimu Hall. In any case, Zhou Sen requires that the reputation of Shuimu Hall's wine and drinks must be built before Shuimu Hall officially opens for business, and it would be best if it can cause a sensation.

In view of the fact that Shuimutang has not yet been established and is under too much financial pressure, the personnel selected by Li Ning'er will still be retained by Shuimutang first, while the training and brainwashing will still be completed by Qianmutang.

Li Ning'er was also a man of swift and decisive character. He counted the number of people that day, distributed three thousand taels of silver as purchase money, and directly arranged for these people to purchase the raw liquor.

Then she took two thousand taels of silver and dragged Zhou Sen to find a shop. Zhou Sen sighed that although this girl looked careless, she had strong execution ability and was very organized in arranging things. Shuimutang should not be a problem in her hands.

Of course, Zhou Sen hadn't finished his business yet, so he didn't let Li Ning'er rush out. Zhou Sen said, "Since we want to build up the reputation of Shuimutang wine, we must first have a resounding name. What do you think?"

A single stone caused a thousand waves. I didn't expect that everyone was so interested in naming the wine. They argued endlessly and refused to give in. They called it all kinds of names: Qianrou Wine, Vanilla Wine, Pearl Wine, Moon Wine, Ning'er Wine, and they all argued to name the first wine of Shuimu Hall after their own names.

If they were not stopped, they would resort to force, so Zhou Sen forcefully named the first wine Shuimuxianniang and promised that the names they chose today would be used in the new flavors of wine developed later. Only then did they give up.

Finally, Zhou Sen asked Shen Qianrou to use all the resources of Xiangmu Society in Jiangxia Prefecture to assist Shuimu Hall in promoting Shuimu Xianniang and engage in hunger marketing. He also asked Shen Qianrou to post Shuimu Xianniang wine advertisements in prominent places such as Qianmu Hall and porridge distribution sites.

After arranging everything, Li Ning'er happily dragged Zhou Sen to the street to look for shops. Her slender little hand held Zhou Sen's arm and pressed tightly against Li Ning'er's plump chest, which made Zhou Sen feel itchy. Aren't the people of Daqian all chaste and don't let men and women touch each other? How could Li Ning'er be so fierce? How come she doesn't have any sense of distance from a Taoist priest like me? It's infuriating. Fortunately, Zhou Sen was not wearing a Taoist robe today, otherwise it would be too outrageous.

The two of them went to every store on Shuimutang Street, but unfortunately no one was willing to sell.

Li Ning'er finally settled on a casino next to the inn, which was separated from Qianmutang by the inn. The casino was quite large, and there was a backyard, which was enough for Shuimutang to distill liquor at this stage. Most importantly, it was next to the river, and the transportation was very convenient. However, the owner of this casino was a local tyrant who had no shortage of money. Zhou Sen and Li Ning'er were kicked out without even seeing the owner, which made Li Ning'er very angry.

After running all day, Zhou Sen and Li Ning'er's legs were thin, so they didn't do anything extra. They went to rest before the sun set, thinking that if things didn't work out, they would go to other streets tomorrow. Li Ning'er didn't choose to stay in the inn today, but returned to her own villa.

The next day Zhou Sen got up early as usual, but Li Ning'er didn't come to the inn. It was not until noon that Li Ning'er finally came. Zhou Sen originally planned to take Li Ning'er to another street to find a place to stay, but Li Ning'er insisted that she was thirsty and it would not be too late to drink a cup of tea before leaving.

The two had just sat down when the owner of the casino from yesterday came and offered to sell the venue to Li Ning'er. He would not raise the price at all and would sell the casino to Shuimutang for one thousand and two taels of silver.

Zhou Sen was confused. Why did the casino owner's attitude change 180 degrees overnight? It was unknown. However, Zhou Sen knew that the casino area was as large as half a football field, and it was a prosperous shop by the river. According to Shen Qianrou's estimate, the price would definitely be more than one thousand taels of silver. Zhou Sen was a little confused and hesitant, but Li Ning'er didn't care. Since she had her eyes on the shop, she would take it if the owner wanted to sell it, and generously paid an extra five hundred taels. In the end, she spent 1500 taels of silver to buy the casino and get the title deed.

The shop was successfully settled. Zhou Sen, who got the title deed, was a little bit unbelievable. He got the ideal title deed at a low price in just one day. Li Ning'er is really a lucky man.

What Zhou Sen didn't expect was that the casino owner vacated the venue in just one day. That night, Li Ning'er took Zhou Sen to plan how to renovate Shuimu Hall, saying that the renovation of Shuimu Hall should be completed before the distillation vessels arrived, so that they could start distilling wine as soon as the vessels arrived.

Zhou Sen was completely shocked by Li Ning'er's swift and decisive execution. Is this still the little girl who only thinks about having fun all day? Her brother Li Qi is no more than that. It's true that people from the same family are like one another.

Zhou Sen's lazy character was almost cured by Li Ning'er. Living in the same inn, Li Ning'er would wake Zhou Sen up early every day, making Zhou Sen confused every time he got up. How could a girl enter a boy's bedroom at will? Besides, didn't she know that Zhou Sen had the habit of morning erections? She was frightened and angry several times.

It's a bad habit to wake people up. I have to find a way to wake Li Ning'er up next time.

Under the leadership of Li Ning'er, Zhou Sen no longer hesitated and completed the planning of Shuimu Hall in just two days, including where to sell liquor, where to distill liquor, where to store raw materials, how to store and transport finished products, down to every detail.

The rest of the matter was handed over to Li Ning'er, who was responsible for arranging the personnel and supervising the renovation of Shuimu Hall.
