Chapter 283: The Authentic Spring and Winter Plum Fragrance Wine
After sending the strong man away, the cook brought breakfast from the back kitchen, which was very light white porridge and a plate of vegetables. The proprietress went to the second floor and brought down the two children who were sleeping late. It is not good for children to sleep late, as they will become lazy. Of course, the more important thing is that she never slept late when she was a child.
The cook and Li Changxiao looked at them with some concern, and that look angered the proprietress, who couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and asked, "Do I look like the kind of person who has no sense of propriety?"
She realized that the two were afraid that she would call those two mentally immature children the same way she called them Li Changxiao.
He got into bed right away.
joke.
He is much more obedient than Li Changxiao.
Soon, everyone sat down at the table, two children and three adults, eating plain porridge and vegetables.
There was firewood burning in the fireplace, but the weather was getting colder. The two siblings were shivering from the cold, and their teeth were chattering. The three of them were not afraid of the cold, but the two children were. Seeing this situation, Li Changxiao simply solved the problem. In the morning, he went to Mei Sanniang's room, found two fox fur cloaks, and wrapped the two siblings up.
She has many styles of clothes, not just those two.
Mei Sanniang's body scent still remained on the cloak.
I made half a tael of silver as soon as I opened today. The momentum is still good, but the follow-up is a bit weak and not many people come.
The stables and vegetable fields outside the inn have been abandoned for a long time.
In fact, the work is not heavy. Most of the time, I just spend my time daydreaming.
Mei Sanniang smoked her pipe repeatedly, and no one knew what she was thinking about. The morning passed quickly. A total of seven guests came, almost all of them were monks. They just came in to sit, ordered a cup of hot tea, chatted for a while after drinking it, talked about some strange stories, and then left in a hurry.
Same as before.
As Mei Sanniang said, it is almost impossible to make any money from these people.
So in one morning, he earned half a tael of silver, plus thirty copper coins. Li Changxiao collected the copper coins on the table one by one and scattered them into the piggy bank.
There is a joy in collecting.
in the afternoon.
Things are getting better.
A mortal caravan passed by, consisting of ten wanderers, two traveling merchants, and three followers, a total of fifteen people.
As it was getting dark, and there was no village or inn nearby, they knew they would have nowhere to stay if they missed this inn, so they came to Laiqun Inn.
This is a big business. With so many customers coming at the same time, Mei Sanniang couldn't stop smiling, as if she saw huge amounts of silver.
Naturally, Li Changxiao could not entertain them all by himself, so Mei Sanniang also walked out to the counter and invited them to sit down and order food. Li Changxiao, with his entourage, arranged all their carriages, horses, and goods.
The lobby is bustling.
Li Changxiao found Mei Sanniang and told her a serious problem: there was no horse feed.
And...the stable is leaky.
I didn’t think about this when I went to the town to buy supplies before, so I missed some. But it’s not a difficult problem to solve.
If there is no horse feed, let the horses starve for a night.
All you need to do is sacrifice the boss lady's looks, and when those people are enjoying their meal, go over to them and offer them two glasses of wine and say a few words of apology, and surely they won't say anything.
As for the leak in the stable, I can just secretly fix it in the middle of the night.
This still needs to be done.
Otherwise, if the horse freezes to death, that would be a problem.
Mei Sanniang punched Li Changxiao coquettishly, and then rolled her eyes in a charming manner. This damn man actually made her sell her body.
She did so.
After the group had enjoyed their meal, Mei Sanniang came over gracefully, twisting her waist, holding a wine pot in her right hand and a wine glass in her left hand, and toasted each table with a few glasses of wine.
Some wanderers stared at the voluptuous and sexy figure of the proprietress, and some of them could not take their eyes away. It was really touching to see such a scene in such a remote place.
After eating and drinking, the caravan rested in the lobby on the first floor, chatting, playing cards, and talking about some thrilling things they encountered on the way.
The two children listened with great interest.
I think it’s very exciting.
Kill the tiger, kill the leopard... and cross the 100-meter-long river and climb the 10,000-meter-high mountain...
Of course, there are some exaggerations in this.
They all wanted to show off themselves and boast about their power in front of the boss lady.
The night is getting darker.
Fifteen people shared two rooms in a room, and eight rooms were booked for them, where they only slept for one night.
They all went back to their rooms to rest.
The table was in a mess, with silver and copper coins scattered on the table. Li Changxiao collected them, counted them carefully, and found nothing missing, so he put them all into the piggy bank.
The proprietress and Li Changxiao called the cook, and the three of them sat around a table, calculating today's profits.
not bad.
There were three tables with five people at each table, and each table ordered three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, as well as a vegetable and egg soup.
All in all, it costs half a tael of silver per table.
That night, he collected one and a half taels of silver.
In addition, there are some scattered copper coins, which are used to order some small dishes, such as fennel beans and appetizing cold vegetable shreds...
All in all, there was one and a half taels of silver, plus more than three hundred copper coins.
Plus the miscellaneous income from the morning.
On that day, the total income was two taels of silver and five hundred and seventy-one copper coins.
Of course...if the costs are deducted, their net profit is only around 700 copper coins.
but.
This is just enough to earn money from eating.
The fifteen people also booked eight rooms. What the three people now need to discuss is how much copper coins should be charged for each room.
Although the Laiqu Inn has been in business for hundreds of years and has had tenants more or less, its pricing system has always been immature and no one has thought about it.
In many cases, the hidden losses are even greater than that.
The previous price was 150 copper coins per night in a room.
嗏
Not anymore. The price has to go up.
"One or two?"
"Just charge them one or two taels!"
Mei Sanniang suggested.
"No, I don't think so." The cook shook his head. "How about this, two hundred coppers for a room."
The two looked at Li Changxiao.
Want to see his opinion.
Li Changxiao frowned and thought, "I think it can be higher, two hundred and fifty copper coins per room."
The three of them were pulling and tugging.
Opinions are divided.
In the end, three hundred copper coins for a room was a relatively fair price.
In addition, you have to pay extra for borrowing the stable.
A horse cost another hundred copper coins.
All things add up.
All three of them looked happy. It was a considerable amount of money. Apart from the food and drink, they still earned 1,300 copper coins.
The day is over.
The total amount was two taels of silver and one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one copper coins.
The copper coins used here are red copper coins, and one thousand red copper coins are equivalent to one tael of silver.
Mei Sanniang seemed to hear the sound of money coming in, and she giggled so hard that her body shook.
A smile also appeared on the cook's cold face.
"Let's drink and celebrate!"
Mei Sanniang waved her hand, twisted her waist, walked to the cellar, and took out a jar of Spring and Winter Plum Blossom Wine.
The wine was poured into the glass.
The color changes unexpectedly, sometimes light red, sometimes transparent...
Li Changxiao's pupils shrank and he drank it in one gulp.
This is the genuine 31st famous wine in the world!
It was the first time he tasted such a fine wine, and he could only say that there must be a reason for its great reputation.
This is for Li Changxiao, who loves drinking.
It is a rare adventure.
"cheers!"
The three of them raised their glasses, clinked them together and drank them all in one gulp.
Chundong Meixiang Wine actually has another alias, called Winter Death and Spring Life Wine, also called Life and Death Free Wine. It may not be the most delicious wine.
But it is the one that suits Li Changxiao's taste the most.
After getting drunk, it seems like I am wandering between life and death, like a dream...
The "Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death" he brewed himself was an imitation of this wine. Now that he is drinking the original, the joy he feels is something that cannot be told to outsiders.
Once the original is released.
Those three were really drunk.
He was sleeping soundly.
