Chapter 70

  Liao Jia returned on the second day in the afternoon and also brought a letter from Su Qing for Cheng Dali.

  At that time, Cheng Dairen was thinking about how to brew wine. In this era, there was no distilled liquor, only low-alcohol brewed wine. Cheng Dairen naturally didn't know how to brew wine and only roughly knew that distilled liquor had an additional distillation process compared to brewed wine. Specifically, he didn't understand the operation.

  However, this is not a technical problem, there are rough ideas, and it can always be figured out.

  "How's everything going on her side? Has she mentioned me?"

  "She brought a letter from the master of the house and told me to hand it over to him personally."

  Cheng Dairen unfolded the letter, written by Su Qian in a more elegant and refined tone, unlike Cheng's straightforward language. It was composed of classical phrases and poetic sentences.

  In the letter, Su Qing went through the motions of courtesy, saying things like how grateful she was to Cheng Dali and that a drop of water in need would be repaid with a gushing spring.

  Right after that, the conversation turned and mentioned Liu Zhi in advance. I heard that you two are a perfect match, and I am overjoyed. I wish you a hundred years of harmony and growing old together. If one day I can see Sister Liu again, I will definitely express my regards in person. After that, it's something about "peach blossoms" and "auspicious family matters", but Cheng Da Lei doesn't understand what it means without looking up the book.

  But he felt a faint murderous intent in it, and as he read on, sweat began to seep out of his forehead. How did Su Qing know about Liu Zhi's affairs? It must be that Xiao Die betrayed herself.

  Hmph, women...

  Liao Jia Dao: "Master, I also brought back three envelopes. The mistress instructed that if you have any matters, you can write a letter to her and the carrier pigeon will bring it back."

  Cheng Dali had taken a few carrier pigeons from Su Ying before, but the main purpose of using carrier pigeons to send messages was to utilize their homing ability, not to release them and have them go wherever they pleased. Now that Su Ying has moved, the carrier pigeons Cheng Dali took earlier are useless.

  "Come, bring pen and ink, let me write a letter."

  Cheng Dalai wielded his brush with flair, splashing ink as his pen danced like a dragon and snake. After finishing the letter, he released the carrier pigeon into flight.

  Then he patted Liao Jia's shoulder: "It's hard for you to go back and bring those few carrier pigeons from the mountain stronghold. Remember, if there's any situation over there, report to me in time."

  The city of fallen leaves is about fifty miles away from the green cow mountain, and it can be run back and forth in a day on a fast horse. However, after the last big disturbance at the Huang family's place, Cheng Dairen exposed himself in front of others, and his wanted portrait was drawn more accurately. So now he can't enter the city, otherwise, he still wants to go see Su Qing.

  "The master ordered me, I naturally didn't have a problem, it's just... Master, why didn't you directly let me take the letter back?"

  "This..." Cheng Daire's expression froze, and he was embarrassed for a while. He patted Liao Jia's shoulder: "This question of yours is really... haha, it's really..."

  His eyes gazed at the direction where the carrier pigeon disappeared, Cheng Dairen pondered in his heart that today should be the opening day of Su Qing's wine shop, and he didn't know if everything was going smoothly or not.

  The homing pigeon soared into the high sky and disappeared at the bottom of the eye socket, passing through the white clouds, a city wall appeared in front.

  Su Ying was busy all day and didn't notice the returned carrier pigeon until she closed up shop in the evening.

  There is Xiao Er in the store, and Sun Jiu leads the kitchen in the back. The lake bottom dredging sells hot pot, actually doesn't need this boss to be busy with anything.

  But today's business is surprisingly good, the wine house has only fifty tables, and I don't know how many rounds were changed in one day. Even so, there are still many customers waiting, she prepared some roasted bread for free according to Cheng Dalai's instructions, which also worked.

  Nature also encountered some problems, such as two tables of guests quarreling because the dishes were served too slowly. Of course, this is not a big deal, sending them a pot of wine and giving some discounts can calm them down. Business matters, there is no genius that can succeed overnight, it's always tempered through specific things.

  She used to follow Su Si-hai around and only watched but didn't do much. Now she has the opportunity to put it into practice.

  After closing up shop, she returned to her room and took out the letter that had been delivered by pigeon.

  Hmph, let's see how you interpret it in your heart...

  He wondered... why he had to explain it to himself, why such a thought would pop into his mind.

  "Miss, what did the villain's letter say?" asked Xiaodie.

  "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet."

  She replied mechanically, but in fact, Su Qing also had some curiosity about what was written in the letter.

  She pulled out the letter from the bamboo tube, slowly opened it, stared at the contents, and slowly furrowed her brow.

  What the heck does this mean!

  The letter had only two words: Are you there?

  Su Ying fell into a inexplicable state, it was hard to describe her mood at the moment. Three carrier pigeons were sent over, they were meant for him to contact her in case of an emergency, but he only sent back two words: "Come back"

  A loud fluttering sound, a carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill outside, Xiaodie quickly went out and brought it in.

  "Miss, he has another letter."

  This time I opened the letter and there were still two words on it: Asleep?

  Su Ying completely collapsed.

  Right after that, another carrier pigeon landed outside the house. Xiaodie caught it and brought it in. Su Qing was mentally prepared this time.

  This time is better, changed three words: Have you taken a bath?

  Three letters were mixed together, Su Qing's face was full of question marks. She thought that if she hadn't made a mistake, then it must be Cheng Dairen who had made a mistake.

  "It seems you have to go there yourself and take a few carrier pigeons to raise."

  ……

  The next day at dawn, the front of Su Family Wine House was crowded with people.

  This scene became a landscape, and passersby who didn't know the details were puzzled and asked: "Why are so many people crowded together? Is money being given out here?"

  "Hah, you don't know yet? Yesterday the wine house opened its doors and was packed with people. If you don't come early today, you won't be able to get a seat."

  Passersby who were originally just passing by slowly approached, and when they saw the person inside clearly, they suddenly exclaimed: "Old Zhu, you're here too!"

  This Zhu Lao is the steward of the lord of Fallen Leaf City, and being a steward isn't like what many people think it is, standing at the door and bullying visiting guests. In the past life of Cheng Da Lei, the steward of a large family was at least equivalent to a high-ranking executive in a large corporation.

  So this Zhu Lao is also a well-known figure in Luoye City.

  "Mr. Zhu, you've had all the good food, why are you still lining up here?"

  "Hah! I'm here on behalf of Young Master Shi. A few friends of his are coming from afar, and he asked me to hold a spot for them."

  "The young master of the castle has come here to eat in person!"

  "Hmm, I've also heard that."

  Su Ying didn't sleep well last night because of Cheng Dairen's three consecutive collapses, and she got up a bit late today. When she ordered someone to open the door and saw the scene outside, she was also startled.
