After leaving the Zheng family, Bai Song gained a handful of gold.
The gold was a bit hot to the touch, and I felt uneasy about using it, so I decided to keep it after thinking about it.
All the money Bai Song had on him was gone.
The first thing now is to find Caihe.
They parted that night and went their separate ways.
Bai Song was responsible for flirting with girls, and Cai He was responsible for finding out about the missing people.
There was a note left by Caihe in the inn where he stayed before, with an address written on it.
"Zhengyang Street, Tongxingfang Dingbing."
Bai Song took the note and found the address. After comparing it again and again, he found that the address was actually the branch of Xia Family Winery in Ji County.
Business at the winery was very good, with three trucks of wine being transported at noon.
There were many guests gathered at the door, and they all seemed to be waiting for the Xia family's wine.
Even now, I can still hear people around me commenting on things.
When it comes to Xiajiajiu and Master Lin’s poems, the connection between the two has been established for a long time. Whenever we talk about it, there are always people who express admiration.
"Hey, hey, hey...be careful, if there is someone else to help, don't get drunk!"
A familiar voice came from the door of the shop, and a fat lady shouted like a man at the door of the shop.
"Ahem..." Bai Song coughed twice not far away.
After hearing this, Miss Xia turned around and saw Bai Song. She quickly greeted him twice and trotted to Bai Song.
Then he winked at Bai Song and led Bai Song towards the alley in the backyard.
Bai Song was a little strange, but it wasn't that he was surprised to see Miss Xia's family. It was normal for Xia's wine to be purchased in Jixian, and it was also normal for Miss Xia to appear in Jixian.
What’s strange is why Miss Xia’s family winks mysteriously?
Does she really know something?
The note left by Caihe points to Xiajia Winery, which is even more puzzling.
There were so many people in front of him that it was difficult for Bai Song to ask, so he could only silently follow Miss Xia to the alley in the backyard.
When there was no one around, Bai Song took two steps forward and asked, "Miss Xia."
"Mr. Bai, I know what you are thinking. This is not the place to talk. Follow me in first and then talk."
After saying a word, Miss Xia opened the door to the backyard.
Bai Song followed him in and saw that the backyard was huge and filled with wine jars.
There is a thatched cottage not far ahead, and there are people watching behind the crack of the thatched cottage door.
The other party seemed to know it was Bai Song, Cai He immediately came out of the thatched hut: "Master Bai!"
Miss Xia glanced at the two of them: "You guys can chat, I have other things to deal with."
After saying that, Miss Xia didn't stay any longer and went to the front hall.
Caihe arrived in front of Bai Song and saluted excitedly: "Master Bai, how is your injury?"
"It doesn't matter. Why are you here? Where is Niu Da? Have you found him?"
"Brother Niu is in there! Everyone else is in there too!" Caihe pointed to the thatched cottage in front and was so excited that he burst into tears.
"The cow is alive!" Bai Song was so excited after hearing this that he quickly ran after him and pushed the thatched hut away.
Pairs of tearful eyes stared at Bai Song.
"Master Bai..."
Familiar faces appeared one after another, and Bai Song's eyes instantly became wet.
Although these gangsters didn't accomplish anything, they still believed their own words and came here.
It's better now, everyone is covered with wound medicine, and many people can't even sit down. It's heart-wrenching to see.
The cow in the back was lying on the haystack, and someone was feeding him medicine.
At this moment, he had also sat up and looked at Bai Song with a smile on his face.
Seeing Niu Da's smile, Bai Song felt even sadder. This smile formed a sharp contrast with his empty left arm, and that shocking moment came back to him like a nightmare.
Bai Song took three steps and two steps at a time, and reached the edge of Niu Da: "What's wrong!"
The cow laughed, but its breath was weak, and it was obvious that the injury had not healed.
"It's okay. Fortunately, we met the Xia family's caravan. The lady of the Xia family thought of Master Bai's kindness and thought that she was a fellow villager, so she took a risk and rescued me. Then she helped gather all the separated people."
Bai Song sighed for a while after hearing this, thinking that a woman is also a merchant, but this time her righteousness is countless times better than those literati in the outside world.
"Miss Xia happened to be accompanied by a doctor from her hometown who treated our injuries."
"I must thank you very much this time." Bai Song said, then asked, "Has everyone gathered together?"
At this question, Niu Da's expression darkened.
Looking around, everyone's eyes were filled with hatred, and some people were silently wiping tears aside.
"Could it be..."
"Boss Hu and his two brothers failed to come back."
I don't know who said something, and there were many cries of old men in the thatched cottage.
Bai Song's heart skipped a beat and he sat helplessly on the ground.
Someone died because of themselves...
This is a feeling I have never had before.
Before that, Bai Song didn't even really regard them as friends in his heart, and he even had the understanding that if he failed, he would fail.
Now people have lost their lives for their own sake!
Bai Song frowned and clenched his hands into fists, feeling depressed for a long, long time.
Bai Song stood up, took out his money bag, and distributed a bag of gold to everyone without saying anything.
"Master Bai, we don't want this..."
"Yes! We want revenge! We must take revenge!"
"We don't have enough people. I'll go to Mang County to call for brothers."
"No matter how powerful that person is, I will bite off a piece of his flesh!"
Bai Song stood in the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking! You have done enough, leave the rest to me. I will definitely give everyone an explanation!"
…
Revenge is urgent!
Until now, Bai Song had never had such a strong desire to kill someone.
The Zheng family can leave it alone, but that weirdo must be eliminated.
This time, Bai Song didn't want anyone's help and didn't want to drag anyone down!
Even if I die, I will have no regrets!
That night, Bai Song visited a blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to make slender iron bars overnight.
I went to a cloth shop and bought a dozen pieces of fine silk.
It was already midnight when I returned to the Xia Family Winery. I ignored etiquette and had a tryst with Miss Xia in the middle of the night, saying that I wanted to negotiate a business deal with Miss Xia.
In the middle of the night, an oil lamp was lit on the counter of Xia's Liquor Shop.
Miss Xia yawned and looked at Bai Song drowsily.
"Mr. Bai, what's the matter with you that can't wait until tomorrow?"
"Miss Xia, first of all, I want to thank you for your help. Today I want to make a deal with Miss Xia."
"Business? What kind of trade is it?"
"I want to buy your shop."
"Buy it?" Miss Xia rubbed her eyes, feeling a little strange.
Bai Song nodded seriously: "Yes! Use this!"
After saying that, Bai Song took out a bottle of wine from his arms and opened the bottle cap directly.
In an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed!
This is a wine shop, and the inside and outside of the shop are filled with the aroma of wine.
But as soon as Bai Song opened the wine in his hand, the wine in the entire shop instantly turned pale.
The rich aroma of this wine is something that Miss Xia has never seen in her life. Even without tasting it, you can already feel its long aftertaste.
Miss Xia's eyes almost popped out of her head. She looked at the small bottle of wine in front of her and couldn't believe her eyes.
Bai Song said nothing, took out his wine glass, poured a glass and placed it in front of Miss Xia.
I saw that the wine was clear and translucent, better than the clear springs in the mountains, but the aroma of the wine made people a little drunk.
Miss Xia was a little excited and took a sip.
This sip came just in time, and tears rolled down his cheeks. Ren couldn't help but feel excited in his heart and praised: "Good wine!"
The corner of Bai Song's mouth raised: "How is it? How does this wine compare to Xia's wine?"
Miss Xia ignored it at all. There was no comparison at all. She even asked: "What is this?"
"Wuliangye."
"Wuliangye? I have never heard that this wine is more pure and pure than the jade liquid that the emperor drank. There is no wine in the world that can compare!"
"I trade Wuliangye's formula for Miss Xia's shop. How's the business going?"
"Mr. Bai, are you kidding me? If this wine really has a formula, it would be a priceless treasure in this world. How could it be possible to change it to a small wine shop?"
"I'm not kidding." Bai Song said solemnly, and took out two pieces of paper from his arms. "One of them is the ingredient ratio of Wuliangye, and the other is the detailed production process of distilled liquor. As long as the two are slightly combined,
With the fusion of the Xia family's past wine-making experience, even if it cannot replicate a peerless wine like Wuliangye, it can still brew a top-quality liquor that is unique in the world. With this recipe, the Xia family winery is going all over the world.
But it’s a matter of time, Miss Xia, will you do this deal?”
Listening to Bai Song's words, his expression was extremely serious, and it didn't look like he was joking.
Miss Xia was a little moved. If it were anyone else, Miss Xia wouldn't believe it.
But after what happened with Xiao Suiping, the Xia family's business has made a qualitative leap, and everything is thanks to Mr. Bai.
Miss Xia is not good-looking, but she has a good eye for people. She has long noticed that there is something different about Mr. Bai, and he has hidden abilities.
I wouldn't lie to myself in the middle of the night.
Moreover, Mr. Bai has encountered trouble in Jixian County. He acted abnormally tonight, and he is afraid that he will use his shop to do something.
The Xia family can do this favor, but they cannot fall into it.
Miss Xia had no interest at all in what happened to Bai Song and that group of gangsters, let alone inquire about it.
Thinking of this, Miss Xia took down the paper on the table and took it away.
"I will be in Mang County early tomorrow morning, so you can take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Miss Xia, for making it happen."
…
At dawn, as she said, Miss Xia got on the carriage early and took everyone in the shop out of the city.
Bai Song jumped on the roof of a house, watched Miss Xia's team go away, and then started to do his own thing on the roof.
Caihe looked at Master Bai on the roof in the courtyard and shouted: "Master Bai, it's time to come down and eat."
"immediately!"
Bai Song responded and jumped down from the roof.
Caihe looked at the pole on the roof, which had a bronze bird rotating in the wind.
"Master Bai, what did you do?"
"Wind vane."
"Wind direction instrument?" Caihe said with a frown, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Could it be the wind direction instrument of Zhang Heng, a craftsman from the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"Oh, you girl knows quite a lot."
"I heard it mentioned by the ladies and gentlemen earlier when I was at Zheng's house. But what's the use of being a wind direction instrument?"
"There is snow in the east, rain in the south, and thunder in the southeast. It is the twelfth lunar month now, and Ji County is in the north. If there is a southeast wind at this time, there will be a thunderstorm. Caihe, if you have nothing to do, just keep an eye on it here.
If there is a southeasterly wind that makes the bronze bird on the wind direction stop turning, then it is time for us to take revenge!"
