  Tomorrow, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu will continue to chase after the culprits, while Bai Yutang continues to play with his cat and opens up his wine shop honestly, not getting involved with them.

  Although his mind was in a mess, he fell asleep as he thought about it.

  When Chen Yuan woke up again, the sun had just come out. Chen Yuan pushed open the door and took a deep breath of fresh air. Seeing the shopkeeper also getting up to wipe the table, he immediately smiled: "Good morning boss! Let me do these things."

  After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and snatched over a towel.

  Yang looked at him and also returned a smile: "That wine shop is just right today, with a monthly rent of ten taels of silver, how about it?"

  Chen Yuan glanced at him: "The shopkeeper killed someone? Ten taels of silver a month, enough to rent this inn!"

  Yang Zhuanggui smiled slyly: "Ten taels of silver is expensive to rent to others, but renting it to Master Chen, I still feel like I'm suffering a big loss!"

  Chen Yuan wiped the table while leaning in close to the shopkeeper: "A house as big as your wine shop on this street, the monthly rent is only two or three taels, you're charging me ten taels, isn't that a bit too much?"

  Yang didn't bother arguing with him either, turned around and went back to the counter: "Like it or not! It was agreed upon beforehand, if you don't rent, it's not that I'm not keeping my word."

  Chen Yuan hastily followed him to the counter, stretching out three fingers: "I'll give you the highest market price, three taels!"

  Yang looked at his three fingers and stretched out his right hand, placing it next to Chen's three fingers: "Eight taels."

  Chen Yuan withdrew his three fingers and pressed down Yang's little finger as well.

  Yang Zhuangui pushed Chen Yuan's hand away with one hand, and that little thumb popped out again: "At least this number."

  Chen Yuan thought for a moment and finally stamped his foot: "Alright, five taels is just five taels!"

  The shopkeeper nodded, took out a white paper, dipped his brush in ink, and wrote quickly, saying: "First of all, the rent is due at the end of the month. If it's delayed for one day, interest will be charged at 3%. Less than a month will be counted as a full month. If you want to transfer the wine shop to someone else, you must get my consent. Oral agreements are not reliable, written contracts are evidence! Come on, sign your name!"

  The contract had already been written on the white paper, and the shopkeeper pushed it in front of Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan took a look, shook his head: "Still need to sign, this seal feels like I'm selling myself."

  Yang Zhuanggui immediately handed over the brush: "Yes."

  Chen Yuan looked at Manager Yang: "Manager, can you lend me some more capital? I only have seven silver coins on me, not even enough to buy a jug of wine."

  Yang Zhuanggui laughed: "Borrowing money is no problem, it's just that it can't be done now. Let me finish calculating the accounts at noon and we'll talk about it then."

  Chen Yuanyi slapped the table: "Aren't I in a hurry to deliver wine to Bin Yue Lou? Don't worry, after I've delivered the wine and settled the bill, I'll return it to you immediately!"

  Chen Yuan thought it through clearly yesterday. As long as he delivers the two jars of wine to Bin Yue Building this morning, he can earn a few more silver coins. Together with the seven coins he earned yesterday, he can renovate the wine shop simply. The high platform must be removed, so that customers won't feel distant. Letting customers see how he brews wine with their own eyes will increase their trust in him.

  Also, get some small chairs and put them at the door for those who are not in a hurry to go home to rest. It's best to discuss with that short seller of braised dishes across the street and sell his vegetarian dishes here.

  As for buying wine again, you can go to the workshop yourself and haggle. Within two days, you went there three times, and the workshop staff should be willing to sell it to you.

  All these plans must first be figured out with the cost of buying those two jars of wine.

  Chen Yuan didn't know anyone in Bianjing, and neither did Chen Shimei. So he could only take a hint from Yang Zhanggui.

  Looking at Yang's resolute appearance, Chen Yuan felt a little anxious.

  He didn't have time for the shopkeeper's nagging, so Chai Yang had himself deliver the wine early this morning, the earlier the better.

  Just as Chen Yuan was in a dilemma, he suddenly felt someone tug at his clothes from behind. Before he could turn around, the sound of Lian Hua's voice appeared beside him, but it wasn't directed at him.

  Hua Lian lightly pulled Chen Yuan's clothes again, and Chen Yuan knew that she might have something to say to him, but it was inconvenient for his father to hear.

  "Father," said Hua, "the deposit for the three rooms on the west side of this floor is still at the counter. Will someone come to ask for it?"

  Yang Zhuanggui waved his hand: "Leave the deposit alone, and leave the room empty. Whether someone is there or not, since they paid the money, we should keep the house for them until the rent runs out."

  "Should we sweep that room?"

  Yang thought for a moment: "Don't sweep the floor for these few days, yesterday the official said that after all something happened, if the government comes to check again, it's not good."

  Linghua finished speaking and turned to leave, Chen Yuan saw her waving at him with her hand, indicating for him to follow. He pretended to be sweeping the floor and followed behind Linghua.

  After the two slowly flashed out of Yang's line of sight, Liang Hua suddenly turned back and put a small package in Chen Yuan's hand. Chen Yuan weighed it, it was silver, weighing about five taels.

  Huang Hua lowered her head and didn't say another word, seemingly a little afraid of talking to Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuanshen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Thank you, Linghuamei! Don't worry, by the end of the month, I'll repay you double."

  The lotus flower still didn't speak, it just nodded its head twice, even lower than before.

  Chen Yuan said: "Alright, I'll write you an IOU."

  Diamond shook her head and finally said in a very small voice: "Brother Chen, I believe you."

  Is it really a terrifying thing to talk to Chen Yuan? The little girl had just said this sentence when she suddenly turned around and ran away.

  This was somewhat unexpected for Chen Yuan, he took the bag of silver and stared blankly for a moment before putting it into his bosom. Now, all his plans could be implemented.

  The wine shop is actually not small, with over ten square meters. The layout is not very reasonable, the counter occupies a lot of space, and the wine jars and those small wine bottles are placed on the ground, not only taking up space, but also making it inconvenient for people to walk inside.

  Chen Yuan found a few craftsmen and nailed several rows of wooden boards on the wall of the wine shop, specifically for placing wine utensils such as wine pots and cups.

  Then smash the counter and put a few stools on it.

  All these were done by the craftsmen, and now Chen Yuan had to go deliver wine to Bin Yue Lou. If he went early, he wouldn't have to worry about horse-drawn carriages, and along the way, he could also try to find another client like Bin Yue Lou.

  Bin Yue Lou was also one of the earliest opening restaurants. When Chen Yuan pulled the wine to the door, several apprentices were sweeping the floor.

  They smoothly gave them wine, and a big restaurant like Bin Yue Lou would naturally not be short of Chen Yuan's wine money.

  The wine jar from yesterday was moved onto the vehicle by the partner, and Chen Yuan pulled it towards the inn, everything went so smoothly.

  He believes that even if he doesn't take the imperial examination, he can still live a very happy life. But can he really escape his fate?

  He came to the Song Dynasty, after all, he followed Chen Yuan's path or still followed Chen Shimei's footsteps?

  Just a short distance away, Chen Yuan suddenly heard a noisy footsteps, he looked up and saw a team of catchers rushing from the front.

  He hastily pushed the cart to the side of the road and waited for these old men to pass before proceeding.

  The team leader was surprisingly Zhao Hu again, Chen Yuan felt very depressed. He didn't want to have contact with people around Bao Quan, but why did they keep running into each other even on the street?

  Zhao Hu obviously also saw Chen Yuan, stopped his own footsteps and said: "Hey, that Chen, Chen,"

  "Chen Yuan busily pushed a stable cart: 'Young Chen Shimei.'"

  Zhao Hu nodded: "What brings you here?"

  Chen Yuan replied: "I just went to Bin Yue Lou to deliver wine and now I'm bringing back the empty barrels from last night."

  Zhao Hu walked over and looked at the wine barrel: "There's no one hiding inside, is there?"

  Chen Yuan hehe smiled and stepped onto the carriage, reaching out to open the bucket lid: "Where can you hide a person? Officer, please come up and take a look."

  The lid of the barrel had just been opened, and Chen Yuan was suddenly stunned. He found that there really was someone inside the wine barrel!

  To be exact, he only saw one person's head!
