Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 82: Establishing Authority (Major Chapter)


In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

With the previous successful experience, Hengwu Restaurant slightly expanded production while maintaining the original formula on their second brewing attempt, and as a result... it still sold very well.

On the third try, Hengwu Restaurant experimented by adding a new fruit wine and achieved another great success.

Instantly, everyone in the restaurant was filled with confidence.

So the brewery began its expansion, preparing for a more massive production on the fourth brewing.

Winter passed, and it was early March.

The 'Snow Brewed Wine' that required snow for brewing was gone.

But with the snow melting, the mountain spring water was clear and mixed with the unique sweet fragrance of grass, flowers, and the mountains.

Thus, this became the raw material and gimmick for brewing.

At Li Yuan's suggestion, the new wine was divided into three kinds according to its grade.

The least strong in alcohol content was called Spring Water Brew, priced at only six qian per pot.

The slightly stronger one, with a hint of fruit flavor, was called Spring Brew, at one tael per pot.

The strongest one was called Spring Dream Brew, priced at two taels per pot, limited edition.

And the brand for the public was called: Three Springs Wine.

Li Yuan had learned this from a certain type of wine series before his time travel, and so he used it in his own restaurant; this wave, the gimmick... was maximized directly.

Those who drank Spring Dream Brew obviously weren't lacking in silver, while ordinary people could enjoy Spring Water Brew.

...

Time flew by, and another half month had passed in the blink of an eye.

This time, the expanded Hengwu Restaurant Brewery produced a full 800 jin of wine.

One wine jar after another was sealed with clay, stacked up, filling the basement of Hengwu Restaurant.

The next day, the Wine Scholar started shouting outside.

"In the sunny March, drink Three Springs Wine~~

Three Springs Wine! Spring Water, Spring, Spring Dream~~

There's always one that suits you~~

Come and taste, try it~~"

These cries quickly attracted passers-by.

After all, the reputation of Hengwu Restaurant's wine had already been established, and since there wasn't enough previously, many people hadn't had a chance to try it, so they were naturally interested now and wanted to give it a taste.

Not long after, many guests gathered in front of Hengwu Restaurant.

There were quite a few wealthy people in Silver Creek Square who could still afford to occasionally order a pot of wine and some dishes.

On the loft, the lady boss's face was full of joy as she held the account book and abacus, happily saying to the man beside her: "Husband, if we sell all this batch of wine, we should be able to make a net profit of over sixteen hundred taels of silver...

And the wine has also boosted the business in the building; recently, dishes like mountain bamboo shoots with roasted pig, special marinated meat, and oil-exploded peanuts have been selling very well... some people even like eating the wild boar trotters...

Once we establish our reputation a bit more, other restaurants around will come to ask to buy wine from us, and by then, the brewery can be expanded again."

Li Yuan said: "We need to recruit more guards; I will hide behind the house to select people by then."

"Hmm, then... let's do it three days later. I'll first prepare the notice and put it up then..." the lady boss pondered.

...

...

While Hengwu Restaurant was bustling with activity, there was some commotion not far away.

Two men with physiques different from ordinary people were walking down the street.

By the looks of them, they were both newly recruited tributors of the Blood Saber Sect, or rather, called Wild Honored Guests.

After all, these tributors were completely different from the previous batch under Master Li.

The latter could be entrusted with important tasks, while the former... everyone knew they were just there to take resources and benefits, and help in the consumption against the Sun Family.

By now, both the Blood Saber Sect and the Sun Family actually realized the trouble with these tributors, but no one could break off with them, since as long as the other side used them, they had to use them too.

At this moment, among the two walking...

The one on the left was named Chang Kui, standing eight feet tall, with sharp eyes and a fierce face, surrounded by a slight fox odor. His hands were covered with long hair, and there was a faint glimpse of a close-fitting dark armor beneath his collar, with a curved blade suitable for chopping hanging from his waist.

Before becoming a Wild Honored Guest for the Blood Saber Sect, Chang Kui was a bandit leader. He often led his men to rob in the county, but unfortunately, he crossed someone he shouldn't have, so he abandoned the other bandits and fled overnight, then went incognito, and eventually ended up near Shanbao County. Hearing that both the Blood Saber Sect and the Sun Family were recruiting tributors, he came over.

As an Eighth Grade Perfection Sword Skill expert, he naturally passed the test in no time. Today, he had just received some demon beast meat and silver taels and was heading towards the most chaotic Datong Square.

The one on the right was named Ruan Ahfei, a man with a slim figure and eyes that constantly darted around. Before coming to Shanbao County, he had a nickname "A Flower Every Ten Steps," and was an excellent Martial Artist known for his body skill, but unfortunately... the thing he did most was "steal."

He not only stole wealth but also picked and forced flowers... it's just that no one had ever seen his face, so naturally, no one could associate him with "A Flower Every Ten Steps."

Like Chang Kui, he also came from the same batch.

Of course, both their names were aliases for the outside world.

At this time... the two were walking together, and since they had come together, they had a general estimate of each other's strength.

Ruan Ahfei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chang, are you really planning to serve the Blood Saber Sect?"

Chang Kui chuckled coldly, "What about you?"

Ruan Ahfei looked around, "Who's dumb enough to do that?"

"But for now, we both have to go to Datong Square."

"Why not... pocket some benefits, then... just leave Shanbao County. Does the Blood Saber Sect really think they can chase us?"

"How do we pocket?"

"Go to Silver Creek and pocket it."

"You want to rob it? It won't succeed; as soon as we make a big movement, the Blood Saber Sect will immediately discover us, and by then we'll be trapped like birds."
