Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

That night, in the dark study, Chen Lang stood silently.

The door opened and Li Xiuzhi walked in holding an oil lamp.

"Erlang, why don't you light the lamps?" Li Xiuzhi lit all the oil lamps in the house, then walked over to Chen Lang, took his hand, and asked with concern: "Since returning home, you have been in a bad mood, even a little scary."

"What happened?"

Chen Lang asked, "Is it so obvious?"

"Guoguo saw it all." Li Xiuzhi said, "Before she fell asleep, she kept telling me to come and persuade you."

"Here, this is the candy your precious daughter gave you."

Chen Lang looked at the candy in Li Xiuzhi's palm, and his sharp eyes finally showed a bit of tenderness. He picked it up and put it in his mouth, saying, "You are worthy of being my sweet little cotton-padded jacket."

Li Xiuzhi asked, "What exactly happened?"

Chen Lang said: "Xiuzhi, I really want to kill someone."

Li Xiuzhi was shocked and said, "Erlang, don't scare me. Why would you kill someone for no reason? Who do you want to kill?"

"Ling Zhen's son, Ling Gaoyuan." Chen Lang said, "Today, he knelt at the gate of Guhong Tower and begged me to spare his father. I refused, and the look he gave me afterwards was terrifying."

"If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Although Ling Gaoyuan appears to be a playboy, he is definitely not a good-for-nothing in the traditional sense. If he is determined to avenge his father, who knows what terrible things he might do."

"I don't want to take this risk, but I don't have anyone available, so I feel very uncomfortable and I am very crazy."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang, I think you're overthinking it. Although I've never met Ling Gaoyuan, I've heard people talk about him. He's a typical playboy, relying on his father to do whatever he wants in the county."

"Now that his father has fallen, you're not the only one who wants to deal with him."

"Maybe he has already been..."

Chen Lang sighed and said, "I hope so too."

"But this incident also reminded me that I lack a sharp figure around me, someone who is not only absolutely loyal to me but also capable of doing some of the dirty work for me."

"It's a pity that money is easy to come by, but good talent is hard to find."

Li Xiuzhi stroked Chen Lang's chin and said, "Erlang, I believe you can definitely find such a person, but the opportunity has not arrived yet."

Chen Lang looked down at Li Xiuzhi's watery eyes, then pecked her on the mouth quickly: "Well, my lady is right."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang, I have two pieces of good news to tell you. They will ease your worries."

Chen Lang sat on the chair, patted his thigh, and motioned Li Xiuzhi to sit on it.

Li Xiuzhi's pretty face flushed, but she still sat on it obediently, fitting perfectly against Chen Lang.

Chen Lang rubbed his hands back and forth on Li Xiuzhi's round thighs and said, "What good news."

Li Xiuzhi has a sensitive constitution. Chen Lang's actions made her whole body tremble slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid. She said, "The promotion of bras has begun to show results."

Chen Lang's hand moved up Li Xiuzhi's thigh. When Li Xiuzhi mentioned the word "bra", his thumb just happened to touch the bottom edge of her southern hemisphere. "Really? I haven't really paid attention to this matter these days."

"Tell me about the results you've achieved."

Li Xiuzhi grabbed Chen Lang's hair with both hands, and the spring water in her eyes seemed to be escaping. "Miss Wang has been coming to our house more frequently these days, and Miss Xu took this opportunity to get close to her. Finally, she got Miss Wang to wear a bra today."

Chen Lang untied Li Xiuzhi's belt and took off her top, leaving her upper body, which was only wearing a bra, completely exposed in front of Chen Lang.

"It seems to have grown bigger." Chen Lang said as he buried his head in it and took a deep breath.

Li Xiuzhi stopped grabbing Chen Lang's hair and started hugging his head. She said in a trembling voice, "Besides Miss Wang, Miss Pang Qiuyan from Hongxiuzhao also came to buy bras. She was quite generous and bought three sets at once."

Chen Lang put his hands around Li Xiuzhi's back and with a single hand, he smoothly unfastened the buckle.

Li Xiuzhi's arms were suddenly covered with goose bumps.

At this point, Li Xiuzhi could no longer speak. She held Chen Lang's face and kissed him hard.

The old chair that Chen Lang was sitting on soon made a suggestive creaking sound.

……

After Ling Zhen's downfall, Guhonglou reopened and business was much better than before it was closed.

Such a grand occasion also caused the supply of Hongyanzui to be almost out of stock.

The current method of brewing Hongyanzui is double distillation, which means buying the finished product from the distillery and brewing it. This is relatively costly and also leads to severe limitations on production.

Moreover, the owner of the wine shop learned from some unknown channel that the supply of Hongyanzui was almost out of stock, so he immediately raised the shipping price of the raw wine, with each jar of wine increasing by about five cents of silver.

Although Chen Lang despised this kind of behavior of taking advantage of others' misfortune, he was powerless to do anything about it.

If you want to change this situation, you can only open a winery and brew wine yourself.

Because brewing wine requires the consumption of grain, the imperial court had very strict control over wineries. Without imperial documents, those who brewed wine privately would be sentenced to imprisonment at the very least, and at the worst, their property would be confiscated and their family would be exterminated.

However, after Chen Lang submitted the application for opening a bar to the government, he soon received a reply from the government.

agree!

So during the following period of time, Chen Lang became very busy.

From the purchase of grain to the selection of yeast, Chen Lang personally oversees everything.

It’s not that Chen Lang likes to monopolize power, it’s just that there is no one around him who can use his power.

Sun Yuwei and Chen Lang can only do their work and manage a few people at most.

Although Xiaoqi is smart, he is still too young to be able to stand on his own.

However, when Chen Lang was doing these things, he also brought Xiao Qi with him, taught him hand-in-hand, and helped him grow quickly.

Of course, even with all this done, brewing the wine will still take some time.

Before this, Chen Lang had to continue to purchase high-priced raw liquor from his peers at high prices.

Because there were too many things going on at the winery, Chen Lang hadn't been to Guhong Tower for a long time. This also caused someone who wanted to visit him to be disappointed, and he was very depressed.

This person is Zhu Shan.

Chen Lang's song "Man Jiang Hong" completely conquered Zhu Shan. He no longer had any resentment towards Chen Lang, but was full of admiration.

So Zhu Shan has always wanted to meet Chen Lang, express his respect to him, and apologize to him sincerely.

But after Guhong Tower was unsealed, Zhu Shan came there once a day but failed to meet Chen Lang.

As for visiting someone in person, that can only be done after the relationship between the two parties has established a certain foundation.

Zhu Shan felt that his relationship with Chen Lang was far from being enough to visit him in person.

However, as he went to Guhong Tower more and more often, Zhu Shan gradually fell in love with this place, especially Xie Qinghuan who sang songs, whom he liked very much.

As long as Xie Qinghuan shows up, he will definitely reward her with several flower baskets.

On this day, Zhu Shan brought a good friend who had just arrived in Linshui to Guhong Tower to listen to music.

After going up to the second floor and sitting for a while, Ma Jiaqi also came.

At the same time, there was another person beside him, who was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a handsome appearance and steady temperament.

When Zhu Shan saw this person, he stood up in surprise and shouted, "Zi'an?!"
