Chapter 31: Evil like Yi

As the night progressed, the maids gradually dispersed to rest.

Cao Yi was lying on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's things. When Mr. Lu sent the calligraphy treasures, he started to sew embroidered wine flags and make restaurant plaques. The construction of the secret wine shop and the escort team could also start tomorrow.

, Cao Yi's own power in this world will also grow bigger and bigger with this first snowflake. As for what the situation will be like in the future, no one can predict.



Time flies, and it is almost Double Ninth Festival in a blink of an eye. The speed of the weather cooling has become more and more obvious. Every morning in the morning, Jiangning City looks like a foggy area, as if it is carrying the chill of late autumn, and every bit of it is seeping into people.

In the clothes. It has been more than half a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival. During this period, several of Liu Baiqing's brothers have arrived one after another. Cao Yi asked Liu Baiqing to arrange to be the instructor of the escort team of the secret wine shop. In the future, he will be able to manage and guide the escort team that is still under preparation.

.

After half a month of working day and night, the winery has begun to take shape. Mr. Zhu has also moved there to live and start making wine. When he moved there, he also bought seven or eight orphans from Yapo who were smart and reliable and worked as apprentices.

While starting to work, compared to the previous life of poverty and starvation, at least food and clothing can be guaranteed now, and Cao Yi also told them that they are only at the apprentice level now, so they only take care of food and housing, and the monthly money is relatively less, but when they reach the junior level

When working as a brewer, the monthly money will be doubled several times, which makes these apprentices ecstatic and more motivated to work. The only bad thing is that there are always people guarding the door, and they are absolutely not allowed to go out or get close without permission.

At the door, fortunately, they are all orphans and have no worries. If they can't go out, they can't go out. At least they are much happier than the other group of half-grown young men.

When the apprentices are making wine and carrying ingredients, they can often see young men of the same age as them gathering in the open space to the east of the winery. The oldest is about eighteen years old, and the youngest is only twelve years old. Every day

Each training session was divided into ten rows of stations, with ten people in each row, as if they formed a small team and fought against each other. The loser ran ten laps around the huge wine shop. Some were still young and could not run fast and lacked physical strength.

It’s not enough, and they are often left behind for several laps. But as long as one person fails to complete the lap, no one in the team can join the queue, and they cannot go to eat. Therefore, one or two of the ten-person team that is punished every time are still alive.

Those who had some physical strength left would run with those who couldn't run.

Sometimes they can hear their instructor say from a distance that since the ten of them are divided into a small team, they are a unit. They can trust each other's backs on the battlefield, although they still don't understand some words.

, but I know that people in a team will eat big fish and meat together when they win, and they will be punished by eating steamed buns if they lose. In order to eat big fish and meat, they must win in the competition, and in order to win in the competition,

You can only train hard in peacetime. According to the instructor, only by working hard in training will you have more opportunities to save your life on the battlefield in the future...

The secret wine shop and escort team outside the city have begun to get on track, and the Zuixian Tower in the city is almost ready. It will be grandly opened in two or three days, so Cao Yi has recently been thinking about how to make Zuixian

The opening of the building has made everyone in Jiangning city well-known. Is it going to be a big opening ceremony or a Double Ninth Festival poetry conference?

After a whole day of thinking, Cao Yi finally figured out the ideas and ideas for the restaurant's opening in three days. Based on his own judgment, it will definitely have a great impact and shock in Jiangning City. However, in the past few days, the invitations that should be sent

Posts still have to be delivered in person. For example, Jiangning Magistrate Yang Gong, Jiangning Prefecture Supervisor Lu Lao, calligraphers and literary circles all have to deliver the post in person. Cao Yi also asked Lao Lu when delivering the post.

Kuang Gong can help inform Jinling Poetry Society and many talented people from Jiangning University to come to support them so that they can participate in the Jiangning Literary Circle Chongjiu Festival. Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong will naturally agree.

For this reason, Cao Yi also plagiarized a few masterpieces of poetry that had not yet been published in later generations, intending to use this to enhance the reputation of Zuixian Tower. Anyway, it would take decades or hundreds of years before it could be seen in the world, which is quite a bit.

The feeling of pearls covered in dust, Cao Yi now makes them known to the world in advance, which can be regarded as a merit, at least Cao Yi thinks so, that is, Cao Yi is thick-skinned, so he can comfort himself in this way to prevent too much guilt.



Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the entire Cao Mansion is clean and fresh. Several maids in Qingyun Pavilion also finished dressing up early. Everyone has to go to Zuixian Pavilion to help today, even Xiong Qing in the dining room.

I have been seconded there to help the two juniors hold the battle and ensure that there will be no mistakes on the first day of opening.

Just after Chen hour, Cao Yi and eight maids rushed to Zuixian Tower to prepare for the opening of the restaurant today. After that, talented scholars who had met in Jiangning Fuxue and Jinling Poetry Club came one after another to fight with Cao Yi.

He said hello and was welcomed into Zuixian Tower.

"Welcome!" Every time a guest is welcomed into the restaurant, a row of six waiting maids at the front door will salute in unison and shout welcome, making every guest feel welcomed when they first enter.

It was scary, but it also deepened the guests' impression of Zuixian Tower. In addition, in Zuixian Tower, in addition to male "waiters", there were actually many female "waiters". Both men and women wore uniform clothes.

There are exquisite embroideries on the chests with the words "Zui Xian Lou". Moreover, Zuixian Lou is not called waiter, but both men and women are called "waiters". And in every building, at the entrance of the stairs on each floor, and at the corner of the corridor,

There is a "waiter" standing by. If there is a guest passing by, the female waiter will salute, the male waiter will bow to greet you, and they will all shout "welcome" with a smile. Such an unforgettable "Zui Xian Lou characteristic" is not

By an hour, the news had spread throughout most of Jiangning City, and more and more people heard the news and came to see it.

"Mr. Cao, I'm very happy to congratulate you!" Before the visitor arrived, there was already an alluring and pleasant smell of rouge powder. It was Jinfeng Loutou's brand fish Xuanji, who was known as the Qinhuai Oiran.

"Everyone Xuanji, if you come to help, Cao Yi will remember it in my heart!" Cao Yi lowered his head and thanked Yu Xuanji: "Today is all thanks to everyone Xuanji!"

Yu Xuanji quickly gave a blessing in return and said softly: "Young Master Cao, you are so polite. You also spent a lot of money to invite me here. The slave family will naturally come. Besides, you also gave me three such good poems. Mr. Cao

, Youwei takes the liberty to ask again, are those three poems really given to the slave family?"

"Of course, this was originally written for everyone Xuanji. I would like to thank you all for singing and performing it today." Cao Yi thanked Yu Xuanji again. He wanted to talk to Yu Xuanji in detail about the lyrics and performance, but at this time he was far away.

Seeing that the two carriages had arrived and Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong were dismounting respectively, Cao Yi and Yu Xuanji apologized and stepped forward to greet them.

"Little friend Zhaozheng, we are late." Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong walked over quickly and said hello to Cao Yi.

Cao Yi hurriedly returned the greeting, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Kuang, it's an honor for the younger generation that these two elders are willing to come here. I'm not very grateful. Besides, it's not too late at all!"

Just after saying a few words, Yang Gong, the prefect of Jiangning, got off a carriage in a luxurious suit and walked over slowly. He first greeted Old Kuanggong Lu, and finally exchanged greetings with Cao Yi. Naturally, Cao Yi also expressed his gratitude. He expressed his thanks and asked Magistrate Yang to take down the cover of the plaque at the front door and write three powerful words "Zui Xian Lou". The inscription was none other than Jiangning Magistrate Yang Gong himself, which made Kuang Gong and Mr. Lu laugh. It is said that Cao Yi is a treacherous person. There is a plaque written by Yang Qin, the prefect of Jiangning, here. How dare he come to make trouble after spending so little time.

At this time, in an alley a few hundred steps away from Zuixian Tower, a group of gangsters looked in the direction of Zuixian Tower. A leading man said to the wealthy young master beside him: "Master Shen, That seems to be the driver of the prefecture of Jiangning. The rich man who got out of the car seems to be the prefect of Yang. You told me that this restaurant had no background at first, but now it seems that the background is much bigger. We can't do this for you. If you can't accept it, the money will be returned to you, and we won't go out to talk nonsense. Say goodbye!" After saying that, he stuffed a bag of money into the rich man's hand and left quickly with the others.
