Chapter 113 Weird Price

On 7a.m. to 9a.m. of the next day, the Linli Building opened as usual but the business in the morning was poor. Only several drunkards came.

Lao Li staggered into the door with a flagon. He smelled of osmanthus all over his body. Since that day he drank the osmanthus wine, he became a loyal customer to the Linli Building.

Regardless of the rumor outside, he absolutely trusted the Linli Building. If other wineries spread unfavorable rumor, he even called together many people to seek justice.

“Mr. Li, you are here! Please sit down. Today the new wine is on the market. Would you like to have a taste?”

When the waiter saw Lao Li, he immediately greeted him with enthusiasm. He was the number one old customer of the Linli Building. Almost half of the return customers in the restaurant were introduced by him.

“Hiccup… just the same wine as regular…”

Lao Li was still in a daze. He said intermittently. Suddenly he caught the keywords of the waiter. He immediately woke up and said with a surprise, “What did you say? New types of wine are on the market?!”

Seeing Lao Li’s response, the waiter suddenly smiled cheerfully. He bent over and pointed to his back, “Look!”

Lao Li followed his finger at once and saw that three new wooden cards on the wall behind the counter hanged next to the osmanthus wine.

“First-class Liehuo Spirits are as powerful as the fire! Get drunk with one sip. Great wine passes from one generation to the next generation. 10,000 taels each pot!”

“Second-class Liehuo Spirits are mellow and sweet, and can lighten your heart. They are the rarest wine in the world. 100 taels each pot!”

“Third-class Liehuo Spirits are pure and transparent. Their aroma is strong and they can warm your heart. 1 tael each pot!”

After reading it, Lao Li couldn’t help but rub her eyes and then he looked at the cards again. He really didn’t misunderstand!

The price of the new wine in the Linli Building was… so low?!

Because of the osmanthus wine, the entire Qinghe Town knew that the wine of the Linli Building was particularly expensive which almost ten times of the ordinary wineries. But if regardless of the prices of the first-class and second-class Liehuo Spirits, the price of the third-class Liehuo Spirits could be completely accepted.

“Maybe what the ordinary wineries say is true. The Linli Building can’t create new wine but introduce the wine of the ordinary wineries?”

Lao Li frowned. If it was true, he would rather the Linli Building only sells osmanthus wine than lower the level of the Linli Building.

With the idea in mind, Lao Li nervously ordered a pot of the third-class Liehuo Spirits and a dish of peanuts, the simplest appetizer.

A short time passed. But in Lao Li’s opinion, it was a long wait before Yin Xuetong personally took the Liehuo Spirits to him. Lao Li was flattered and about to get up, he was stopped by Yin Xuetong.

“Mr. Li, you are a regular customer of the Linli Building. Thank you for coming our winery and please continue to take care of our business in the future. I think your body is too weak to bear the Liehuo Spirits. Even if it is the third-class… I advise you to drink less.”

Then, Yin Xuetong turned away and left. Although she had already diluted the raw wine in accordance with Su Li’s order, she was still afraid that something bad might happen. She could not help but come to warn him.

The shopkeeper’s care warmed Lao Li’s heart. Then he immediately looked at the flagon in front of him. He poured the Liehuo Spirit into his cup. The Liehuo Spirits were clear and transparent like amber, which amazed Lao Li very much.

The Liehuo Spirits… were not the usual raw wine. They were as clear as the osmanthus wine. But their color was lighter. He smelled the mellow aroma of the wine and found that it was the smell of the wine itself, not any floral fragrance!

Lao Li’s eyes were lit and he had great appetite for the wine. The Linli Building did not let him down. It really studied the pure wine that only belonged to the Linli Building!

“Glug!”

Lao Li picked up the cup, raised his head and drank it completely. The spicy drink poured into his throat immediately. He couldn’t help but cough. He didn’t expect that the Liehuo Spirits of the lowest level were so spicy.

After the stimulation, Lao Li felt his stomach so warm just like fire was burning in his stomach. His limbs were cold after he got up in the morning. But now his cold limbs were warmed up and even his back was faintly sweating.

“It turned out that the Liehuo Spirits can really take the chill off like fire. The Liehuo Spirits are truly wonderful! Wonderful!”

Lao Li was drinking alone but he drank cheerfully, His face became reddish and he was slightly drunk. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the restaurant. When the man saw Lao Li, he quickly stepped forward to sit aside.

“Lao Li, you are really drinking here!”

“Of … of course. I will live in…live in the Linli Building forever! What…what are you doing here?”

Seeing that Lao Li stammered, his face was red and he couldn’t focus his eyes, the middle-aged man didn’t know what to say. “You drunkard. Are you drunk because of the watery osmanthus wine? But you boasted that you were never drunk. OK, don’t pretend. I just found that a new winery is selling better wine than the osmanthus wine. Go with me quickly!”

“No… I won’t go!”

Lao Li waved his sleeves and the middle-aged man was a little annoyed. He came to invite Lao Li with goodwill to drink better wine, but Lao Li won’t go with him?

At this time, Lao Li picked up the flagon and leaned in front of the middle-aged man. He smirked and said, “You… you smell it! If I am drunk because of the osmanthus wine, I promise you guys that I will never come to the Linli Building for the rest of my life!”

The middle-aged man laughed and suddenly said, “You finally become smart. The osmanthus wine is for women to have fun. We men should drink something stimulating!”

He was about to put down the flagon as he said. But at this moment, he smelled the mellow fragrance from the flagon.

“Hmm?! This is…”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but taste it, then—

An hour later, two drunks fall down beside the table. In case that they might affect the business of the restaurant, Yin Xuetong ordered the waiter to move them to the guest room at once. The middle-aged man woke up and began to talk incoherently.

“The biggest mistake … Lin Chong made in this life was that I believed the rumor! I actually thought that in addition to the osmanthus wine, it couldn’t make other good wine…”

“Liehuo Spirits! Liehuo Spirits! This kind of wine is really wild that they make me be a man!”

“I really want to try the wine at 10000 taels a pot. Hiccup…”

“…”

Then Lin Chong’s voice faded away. The two waiters snickered and at the same time they were proud to be a member of the Linli Buiding.

The taste of the Liehuo Spirits was so great that customers passed this news from mouth to mouth. Soon people who liked drinking in Qinghe Town were all knew that new types of wine of the Linli Building were put on the market. This time, they were pure wine without mixing with any other fancy things!

Moreover, the price was still the same as that of other wineries. Quite cheap!

After regular drinkers of the Linli Building heard the news, they took their flagons to buy wine as early as possible, because they were afraid that the wine might be sold out if they were late. The crowd coming from the main street into the second-class streets had become a wonder of Qinghe Town.

When Yan Shixun heard that, he immediately sent soldiers to maintain the order, so as to express his care for the Linli Building.

Qu Qingning stood beside the cabinet. Seeing the queue like a dragon reached the end of the street, he sighed with emotions, “Xuetong, the price you set is too low. We can’t earn much money. Aren’t you afraid that Su Li will blame you for it?”

Yin Xuetong blinked her eyes cunningly and then she said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. It is just for now. It won’t take long before someone asked me to increase the price. Do you believe me?”

Qu Qingning’s face slightly twitched and he looked around in panic. Then he said, “Don’t you find that what you talk and do are more and more like Su Li? Don’t learn from that vixen. You know…”

“Know what?”

Suddenly, Su Li asked from his back. Qu Qingning’s face was instantly stiff. He gradually turned over and saw Su Li dressed in the clothes of “Ms. Li”, he could only give a hollow laugh and flattered,

“You destroyed the Tiger Village all by yourself before. You were really heroic. I really worship you!”

“Hohoho…”

Looking at the flattering expression of Qu Qingning, Yin Xuetong laughed badly. She realized a law that when Qu Qingning spoke evil of others every time, his words would immediately be heard by them. If there were so-called special abilities in the world, Qu Qingning’s special ability might be the worst one.

Su Li was calm and no longer talked to Qu Qingning who was showing off himself. She looked at Yin Xuetong in admiration, “Xuetong, well done.”

“Yeah!”

Yin Xuetong’s eyes were shining. After hearing the praise of Su Li, she was full of energy. It was the first time for her to be praised by Su Li.

They were busy until late night. They sent the last drinker away and closed the Linlin Building. But Yin Xuetong was too excited to fall sleep. Today’s income was not much. It was even less than before.

The craft of the Liehuo Spirits was not complicated and the raw materials were not as expensive as that of the osmanthus wine. But the price she set was quite low, so they got little profit. But Yin Xuetong believed that everything was just for now.

At night, Su Li sat on the window ledge of the attic. She took a pot of wine in her right hand hanging on the side of his body. Her dark eyes were looking at the dark of the night. No one knew what she was thinking.

“Clack, clack…”

With the sound of slight footsteps, Fang Yuan opened the door but he did not see Su Li. He nosed and turned his head. When he saw the languid appearance of Su Li, he couldn’t help but frown, “Why do you start drinking?”

Su Li tilted her head and looked into the room. She smiled and said, “When didn’t I drink? There is no wine before and now the Liehuo Spirits are good enough for me.”

Fang Yuan was helpless, “But you can’t drink the raw wine like you are drinking water. Even if you are in the inborn realm, you will be drunk.”

Su Li smiled silently. Her cheeks were pale pink and the girl under the moonlight gave off her mysterious and seductive temperament.

At this moment, Fang Yuan’s heart beat faster, and his ears were red.

In his ambiguous thoughts, he vaguely began to perceive that such a crush might be a mistake, but everything was beyond his control.

Fang Yuan stopped looking at Su Li. He forced himself to calm down, “Wu Yun didn’t make any move. It seems that since the killer died, she is scared and doesn’t dare to act.”

Speaking of the business, the pale pink in Su Li’s face was gradually receded and she kept her sanity. She took a deep breath and said, “No, from her eyes, I know that she is not a timid person. Maybe she has already started her move, but we don’t know yet.”

Fang Yuan was surprised. It seemed that Su Li had never paid attention to a person, especially a woman. Even if she dealt with Mam. Su-Cui in Dasu Town, she never showed such a prudent expression.

“The rich family’s courtyard was deep. It is a good place to practice machinations.” Su Li looked calm, “It is like raising poisonous insects. The Gong Family is equivalent to a poisonous insect field and Wu Yun is the king of poisonous insects who has survived in the end. Do you think that it is easy to deal with the king of poisonous insect?”

Fang Yuan looked serious and didn’t dare to look down upon Wu Yun. The Fang Family was also from the Poisonous Insect Clan. How couldn’t he know the power of the king of poisonous insect?

“There you go. But our intelligence capability is limited. If Wu Yun is cautious, our exploration will be a waste of time.” Su Li jumped down from the window ledge, “Make some preparations these days and let’s go on a journey together.”

“Recently?”

Fang Yuan frowned slightly. When they were out at the critical moment, what if the Linli Building has trouble?

“Yes, recently. I will also take Yin Xuetong with us. Mei Ruohan will take charge of the overall situation.” Su Li smiled lightly, “I do not want to let that little girl suffer a lot, but my time is running out…”
