Autumn passes and winter comes, time passes slowly.
If he hadn't looked up and could see the outline of the Sword Qi Great Wall in the distance to the south, Chen Ping'an would have mistakenly thought that he was in the White Paper Blessed Land, or that he had drank the Wangyou Wine of the Huangliang Blessed Land.
Even though Chen Pingan practiced diligently and never slacked off every day, and could even be said to be very busy, Chen Pingan still felt that it would not be possible, so he asked Aunt Bai to help feed the fists. He never thought that Aunt Bai would not give up her life no matter what.
, at most he was teaching his future uncle some boxing moves, Chen Pingan had no choice but to focus on practicing boxing, and called Grandpa Nalan to go to the martial arts field in the Mustard Seed Little World to familiarize himself with the killing power of a flying sword of a Jade Purity sword cultivator.
From this "assassin" who fell from the immortal realm, he roughly learned the method of stealth and stealth. Many subtle methods involved the fundamentals of spiritual practice. "Getting close during the day is like walking at night". You must be a swordsman, which made Chen Ping'an feel a little regretful.
Apart from this, whenever he had free time, Chen Ping'an still tried his best to visit the liquor store every day. He would stay for an hour every time, and he didn't really help sell liquor. He just hung out with a bunch of big kids, teenagers and girls.
Together, he will continue to be his storyteller, and at most he will be his calligraphy teacher and reciting master, which does not involve any knowledge transfer.
Although Chen Ping'an has become the shopkeeper, the big shopkeeper Die Zhang has no complaints, because the real means of making money for the shop are controlled by the second shopkeeper Chen. Now it's his turn to be lazy. After all, Die Zhang just spent some capital and got out.
It's just some rigid strength. What's more, after the wine shop has successfully opened, there are still many tricks behind it. For example, after hanging the couplets, a new horizontal batch was added.
"Those who drink my wine can break through."
The shopkeepers of the restaurants on the street are about to collapse. Not to mention taking away a lot of business, the key is that they have obviously lost their momentum. This has led to the place where liquor is sold in Jianqi Great Wall to start hanging couplets and couplets almost everywhere.
Hang horizontal batch.
Just looking at it, many drunk swordsmen always feel that this place has the best charm, or the most shameless.
After almost all wine shops began to follow suit, this shop began to adopt new methods.
The shop is filled with a bunch of small wooden signs in the style of safe and sound signs. They are all for Diezhang to invite the sword cultivator to come for a drink and carve their names with sword energy. All the calligraphy left behind are hung on the wall, saying they are asking for favors.
Omen.
There will be no distinction based on level of realm. Whoever writes first will hang up his wooden sign first. The name of the wine shop customer will be written on the front. If you like, you can also write on the back of the wooden sign. You can write whatever you like.
The wine shop doesn't care whether you write too much or too little.
Nowadays, there are no problem drinkers hanging on the wall of the wine shop. There are four sword immortals in the upper five realms, including Aquarius Island Fengxue Temple in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Sword Qi Great Wall native sword immortal Gao Kui, and Nan Po Suozhou.
Sword Immortal Yuan Qingshu, and Beiju Luzhou Yupu Realm Sword Cultivator Tao Wen, who came to drink alone late at night. They all wrote on the back of the Wu Shi Plate. They did not want to write it themselves. Originally, the four Sword Immortals were just
After they wrote their names, Chen Pingan found an opportunity to catch them and forced them to fill in the names. If they didn't write them down, there would always be a way to get them to write them down. It was eye-opening to see the squirming peaks on the side. It turns out that business can be done in this way.
So the Wei and Jin Dynasties inscribed "Besieged by love, the sword cannot come out".
The one-eyed man with a big beard looked at Gao Kui, a very rough man, and wrote "If the flowers are bright and the moon is full, the man will live longer."
The romantic Yuan Qingshu wrote "The world here should know that I, Yuan Qingshu, am a swordsman".
Sword Immortal Tao Wen was the most enlightened. After hearing that he could drink a jar of Zhuhai Dongtian wine for free, he wrote without saying anything, "The wine here is cheap, good, and excellent. It would be better if you can get it on credit."
Among the talented swordsmen of the youngest generation, there are dozens of them including Pang Yuanji, Yan Zhuo, Chen Sanqiu, Dong Huafu, and of course the little girl Guo Zhujiu, whose nickname is Guo Zhujiu and "Green".
In addition to "Duan", he secretly wrote "Master sells wine and apprentice buys wine. The friendship between master and disciple is touching and lasting."
There were also many Earth Immortal Sword Cultivators who couldn't lose face for the time being, but most of them just left their names and nothing else. Moreover, Chen Pingan didn't take care of the business very much. Die Zhang himself really didn't know how to speak. Later, Chen Pingan felt that this was not possible, so he gave Die Zhang
A few notes were said to be from Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators who liked them, especially those who were actually willing to keep the calligraphy treasure but didn't know what to write. When checking out, they could pass one of them over.
So an old Yuanying swordsman with a rough personality and no knowledge of writing, after seeing one of the notes, was still arguing with the shopkeeper and putting on airs, but he didn't want to change his face immediately and secretly put away the note.
, asked Diezhang to quickly get the "Nothing" wooden sign, and with a serious attitude towards the enemy demon, he copied the note and wrote the verse. When he left, he also bought an extra pot of the most expensive Qingshenshan wine, and deliberately suppressed it.
Jianqi, while drinking heartily, staggering away, singing loudly, turning over and over again, is the poem that "brings forth ideas and writes in his own hand".
"In the past, I couldn't boast that I was romantic. I fought hundreds of battles over the years. After drinking heavily, I was drunk with my sword on my back. I once dreamed that Qingshen would come to pour the wine."
After one night, among the drunkards and gamblers of the Great Sword Qi Wall, this Nascent Soul sword cultivator who was able to write poetry for no apparent reason became famous.
However, it is said that he finally received a blow from the flying sword of the Sword Immortal who came from nowhere, and he lay on the hospital bed for several days.
There is also a relatively young Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator from Luzhou, Beiju. He also claims to be drinking under the moon and occasionally getting something. He wrote on the "Nothing" card, "Half the sword immortals in the world are my friends. Which woman in the world is not shy?"
I wash my sword with fine wine, no one will say that I am romantic."
The Zhuhai Dongtian wine in the wine shop is divided into three grades. The one that costs one piece of snow costs the most, and the taste is the weakest.
Even better, a bottle of wine costs five snowflakes, but the wine shop claims that for every hundred bottles of wine in the shop, there will be a priceless bamboo leaf hidden in the Bamboo Sea Cave. Sword Immortal Wei Jin and the little girl
Guo Zhujiu can prove that this statement is true.
The first-class Qingshenshan wine costs ten snow coins, and you may not be able to drink it, because the wine shop only sells one pot a day. After it is sold, no one can drink it, and the guest can only come back tomorrow.
For a while, the small wine shop was overcrowded, but after the excitement, there were no longer many sword cultivators squatting on the ground drinking together, rushing to buy wine, but the six tables could still be filled with people.
Although Diezhang was very satisfied with the income of the shop, he was inevitably a little disappointed. As expected by Chen Ping'an, after the shop became famous, buying wine became a big problem. Many restaurants would rather break the contract and compensate Diezhang.
If you are unwilling to sell puree wine, you will obviously cut off the source of the store. Once a few drinkers buy wine but no wine is sold, the business will go downhill. The hustle and bustle of a flash in the pan will make it difficult for the business to last long.
Of course, the second shopkeeper who left behind would only be more aware of the worries that everyone could see. However, Chen Ping'an never said anything. When he arrived at the wine shop, he either chatted with some regular customers and drank some drinks, or just walked on the street.
At the corner of the alley, he worked as a storyteller and hung out with the children. He didn't want to trouble Chen Ping'an with everything, so he could only think of ways to solve the problem on his own.
Late that night, Chen Pingan and Ning Yao came to the shop that was about to close, and there were no more drinking customers.
After Diezhang got the account book, Chen Ping'an sat aside, took out a snowflake, and ordered a bottle of the cheapest wine. The shopkeeper had to pay for the drink. This was the rule.
While Chen Pingan was drinking, he carefully checked the accounts.
Yan Zhuo and the others also made an appointment early to have a drink together today, because Chen Ping'an was rarely willing to treat.
Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao were sitting on the same bench.
Yan Zhuo occupied one table alone, while Dong Hua Fu and Chen Sanqiu sat together.
Yan Zhuo looked at Chen Ping'an who was sitting there looking through the account books carefully, and then looked at Die Zhang sitting beside him, and couldn't help but ask: "Die Zhang, don't you think Chen Ping'an can't trust you?"
Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly and did not raise his head to speak. He just raised the wine bowl and took a sip of the wine, as if he admitted that he was not honest, so he was willing to take a sip of punishment.
Diezhang said angrily: "What's this mess? Don't you have to be so disciplined when doing business? We are friends in the first place, and we only do business together. Is it possible that after we settle the accounts, we are no longer friends? No one has made any mistakes. When the time comes,
Whose fault is it? If you make a mistake, it’s fine, it’s okay? Just like that, you’re right and I’m not wrong, you’re just confused, your business is going bad, and you can’t make ends meet with money.”
Yan Zhuo said aggrievedly: "Die Zhang, you are too partial. Why do you partner with Chen Ping'an as friends to do business? Wasn't the beating I received back then in vain?"
Diezhang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I was sorry?"
Yan Zhuo felt a little resentful, "I heard you were right back then.
Sorry, I'm quite happy, but now I feel like you're not sincere enough."
Chen Pingan turned over a page of the account book and joked: "It's always so bad when a friend has a new friend."
Yan Zhuo waved his hand, "That's not the case at all."
Chen Ping'an handed over the wine bowl, bumped it with Yan Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Didn't I see that the eldest young master of the Yan family is so big and round and carries money everywhere, but he is always searching for the cheapest drink?
You are not as heroic as a little girl in Luduan, so I just talk about you casually."
Diezhang seemed a little hesitant, but finally plucked up the courage and said, "Yan Zhuo, Sanqiu, can I discuss something with you?"
Yan Zhuo was a little confused, but Chen Sanqiu seemed to have guessed it and nodded with a smile, "It can be discussed."
Yan Zhuo's eyes lit up, "Invite us two to join in? Let me tell you, I took a look at the wine jars in your house, and then weighed the daily flow of guests, and I knew that not a few of them were sold at this time.
Nowadays, all the big and small restaurants are jealous, so the source of drinks has become a big problem, right? This kind of thing is easy to say, simple, there is no need to look for Sanqiu, he has no fingers to touch the young master brother, and the master is enjoying the happiness.
I don’t understand this at all. I’m different. I help with many businesses at home. What’s the problem in helping you get some lower-cost puree drinks? Don’t worry, I will do as you said. Let’s follow the rules. I
I won’t lose too much from my own business, so I can try to make a small profit to help you earn more.”
The look on the peaks is complicated.
Chen Ping'an was a little helpless, closed the account book, and said with a smile: "Business manager Diezhang has two kinds of happiness when he makes money. One is to have a lot of fairy money in his pocket, and the shop is closed every day, and the abacus is settled and the harvest is calculated. The other is to like
That feeling of making money that is not easy but can be made. Fatty Yan, tell me yourself, is this true? The way you are carrying a sack of money to the store, I guess even the most experienced people are not willing to make calculations.
, Fatty Yan, why don’t you just report the number and it will be over?”
Yan Zhuo suddenly realized, "If you had told me earlier, Diezhang, if you had been so straightforward, wouldn't I have understood?"
Diezhang said angrily: "Blame me?"
Yan Zhuo drank wine and begged for mercy: "It's my fault."
Chen Pingan began to change the topic and talked to Diezhang about the reasons for profit and loss and precautions.
In fact, it’s not that Yan Zhuo doesn’t understand this truth, he should have figured it out a long time ago. It’s just that some gaps between good friends may seem big or small, dispensable, and some unintentional words that hurt others are not very willing to be intentional.
The explanation may feel too deliberate, or it may be that you feel shameless. If you delay it, you are lucky, it doesn't matter, it will only last a lifetime. Small things are small things after all, and they are nothing if they can be made up for by doing something better and more right.
