Chapter 17 Opportunity

"My name is Liang Wenxuan. From today on, this rice wine shop will be under my management." Liang Wenxuan introduced himself.

The man was stunned at first, then he smiled and lay down again, "I thought someone would come, but it turns out to be a guy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

"Why do you have such a bad attitude?" Nian Huayue couldn't bear to see her son being bullied.

Still being bullied by his own buddies.

Isn't this the opposite?

"Mom, as soon as we see him like this, we know that he might be someone's relative. It's better not to offend him for now." Liang Wenxuan knew that he had such an attitude because he had someone backing him up.

Before you know who is supporting him, it is better not to offend him.

He also wanted to let County Magistrate Fu see his abilities.

"I think the rice wine here is not sold out at all. I'm just afraid that there is nothing to sell. Look at this..." Wang Xifen opened a jar casually and almost fainted from the smell.

Liang Wenxuan opened all the altars and checked them, but none of them were in good condition.

That's why there are so many flies.

"Cousin, since you are here, why don't you help Wenxuan clean up?" Shen Yuefu really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Since the shop is under Wenxuan's management, they can't just sit back and do nothing.

Something has to be done.

"Fourth Aunt, don't bother me. I can clean it up myself." Liang Wenxuan didn't want to trouble them.

"There are so many things. How long will it take you to clean them up? Do you still expect him to help you? County Minister Fu thinks highly of you. You can't let him down."

Wang Xifen rolled up her sleeves, endured the discomfort, moved a smaller jar, poured out the smelly rice wine inside, and fetched water from the well to clean the jar bit by bit.

Shen Yuefu went into the house and looked around, and after searching for a long time she finally found the large jar containing glutinous rice.

The glutinous rice inside looked a little stale, but at least it was not bad. After Shen Yuefu took it out and washed it, she found a large wooden basin, poured the glutinous rice into it, and added water to soak it.

Glutinous rice needs to be soaked for three or four hours before it becomes swelled.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Yuefu cleaned up the kitchen.

Liang Huanxue was not idle either. She deliberately spilled a jar of sour rice wine next to the employee, attracting a group of green-headed flies to gather around. The employee was so frightened that he opened his mouth and accidentally swallowed several of them. He went outside in disgust to spit them out.

"This guy is worse than not having him." Shen Yuefu sighed.

"Isn't it? From the looks of it, he's probably going to make things worse. Wenxuan said he might be someone's relative, so it won't be easy to get rid of him. It seems like we'll just have to endure it for now." Wang Xifen also disliked this guy.

But this newcomer chased the staff away, which must have left a bad impression on others.

At noon, the guy said he was hungry and wanted to eat something.

Wang Xifen took out a steamed bun from her backpack and handed it to him, "Eat it. I brought it from home. Don't mind it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the steamed bun fell to the ground.

"You have the nerve to give me this to eat? Not even a dog would eat it!" the waiter said in disgust.

Liang Wenxuan walked over quickly, picked up the steamed bun, brushed off the dust on it, and took a bite.

The clerk's face showed even more disgust. "You can actually eat this?"

Liang Wenxuan finished his steamed bun in a few bites and went to do his work without paying any attention to him.

After a while, a fragrance suddenly spread in the yard.

The waiter couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looked at Liang Huanxue who was squatting in front of the stove. "Little girl, what delicious food do you have?"

Liang Huanxue turned around and shook the steamed bun slice in her hand, "It's steamed bun!"

The guy only felt the aroma from the two swaying movements become stronger. He swallowed again and asked, "Can you give it to me?"

Liang Huanxue imitated his previous behavior, even raising her eyebrows at the same angle, "You can eat this?"

When Liang Wenxuan heard this, he almost dropped the altar in his hand due to laughter.

Wang Xifen's previous frustration was instantly swept away, and she even agreed: "Yeah, you can eat this?"

"I just don't want to waste it." The waiter thought, it's just toasting steamed bread slices, it's not a difficult task.

At worst, you can just bake it yourself.

"When it comes to lying, you're really good at it." Liang Huanxue cut the remaining steamed buns into slices and roasted them, then distributed them to Shen Yuefu and the two aunts, and did not forget to give a few slices to Liang Wenxuan.

Liang Wenxuan deliberately brought the steamed bread slices to the waiter and asked, "Do you want more?"

The guy's saliva was about to flow out, but for the sake of face, he still shook his head like a wave drum.

"Then I'll eat it." Liang Wenxuan put the steamed bread slice to his mouth.

The waiter stared at him intently, waiting for him to ask again.

But Liang Wenxuan didn't ask another question until he had eaten all the steamed buns.

If you insist on saving face, you will have nothing to eat.

After cleaning up for most of the day, the rice wine shop looked brand new. All the previous dirt and mess were swept away, and even several rat nests were cleared out.

Thanks to the tight sealing of the jar containing the glutinous rice, the mice had no chance to sneak in.

"The glutinous rice should be almost done soaking. I'll go take a look." Shen Yuefu walked to the large wooden basin and rubbed the glutinous rice in it with her hands. It was ready to be crushed.

"Okay, you can start steaming." Shen Yuefu put the washed steamer on the stove. Nian Huayue was responsible for lighting the fire. Wang Xifen suddenly remembered that there was no yeast, so she went to ask the waiter outside.

As a result, he knew nothing about anything.

"Forget it, I'll go buy it." Wang Xifen didn't expect to get an answer from him.

I'm afraid she now knows the layout of this shop better than that guy.

"Second aunt, take this silver." Liang Wenxuan walked over quickly and put a few silver coins in her hand.

"You kid, why are you being so polite to me? Why are you giving me money?" Wang Xifen wanted to return the money, but Liang Wenxuan ran away.

Nian Huayue poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Xifen, just take it. This koji is for making rice wine, so I don't think it's worth spending your money on it."

Wang Xifen couldn't refuse, so she took the silver and went out.

The glutinous rice is steamed, but she hasn't come back yet.

Without yeast, there was no way to make rice wine, so Shen Yuefu thought about going out to find someone.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Wang Xifen.

"Second sister-in-law, why did you come back just now? What happened?" Shen Yuefu asked.

"It's okay! It's just that the yeast sold around here isn't very good, so I walked a little far." Wang Xifen thought that this rice wine was to be sold, not to be drunk by herself, so she had to be more careful.

So I went out of my way to buy some of the best distiller's yeast.

"The glutinous rice is steamed and is waiting for your yeast. Let's go!" Shen Yuefu took her hand and returned to the shop.

Nian Huayue had already filled several jars with most of the rice wine.

Wang Xifen sprinkled the yeast into each pot and was about to add water when she heard Liang Huanxue shout, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

I saw her with her sleeves rolled up, holding a ladle in her hand, which was filled with clear and sweet water.
