Chapter 296: Chapter 296. Live The Life You Want

Qiu Yongkang silently retreated and looked up at the night sky. The stars were like chess pieces scattered across the sky. Which one was the autumn moon? It was said that after death, people would become stars.

Ji Shuisheng’s words touched Su Qing. It was as if the spring breeze melted ice, and she felt warm in her heart.

She would have found these words mushy if she had heard them in her previous life. However, after experiencing too many cold and ruthless killings, Ji Shuisheng’s words made her feel it was rare. She wanted to see the world’s prosperity with him.

Together, they would create a peaceful and prosperous world, grow ten thousand mu of fertile land, and live their desired life.

Seeing Su Qing’s sparkling black eyes looking at him, Ji Shuisheng almost couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her. Qing’er was very sweet. Every time he kissed her, she would fall asleep with this sweetness.

Fortunately, Ji Shuisheng could restrain himself. The winery was full of people, and he could not let anyone see him and Su Qing being intimate. It would damage Su Qing’s reputation, so he changed the topic.

“This wine is not bad. It will sell well in Tartan.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Su Qing also recovered from her shock and started to talk business with Ji Shuisheng in a serious manner.

“In the future, our business with the Third Prince will grow bigger and bigger. I suggested that both sides establish accounts and check them once a month to prevent mistakes.”

“You did very well. I was just about to mention this matter to the Third Prince. I could still remember the small number of transactions in the past. In the future, when the transaction volume is large, and there is more Money, it is very easy to forget it.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded and looked at Su Qing with a smile. Qing’er was always thinking the same thing as him. She was a good wife.

“One more thing, 1 found the person who made the human demon. It was an old monk from the Tartan Kingdom, and I killed him.”

Su Qing thought of Ye Hechangsheng’s matter and mentioned it to Ji Shuisheng. After all, this was their biggest problem.

If that old Daoist made hundreds of human demons, they could use them as thousands of troops. They would be very passive.

Qiu Yongkang heard them talking about business outside the door before entering the room. When he heard Su Qing say that he had killed the person who did the ritual, Qiu Yongkang closed his eyes and said to his sister in his heart,

“Qiu Yue, the old Daoist who caused you to die with grievances, is dead. You can rest in peace now.”

He had mixed feelings. He didn’t even know how he felt when he faced Su Qing.

Ji Shuisheng looked up and saw Qiu Yongkang standing at the door. He enthusiastically scooped a bowl of wine for him to taste.

“Yongkang, come, try the wine that Qing’er brewed.”

Qiu Yongkang let out a sigh of relief and put away his mixed emotions. He replied,

“Let me try.”

After saying that, he took the bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp. The bowl of wine passed through his intestines, and the spicy taste made him choke and cry. He coughed for a long time. Ji Shuisheng went over to pat his back and teased him as he patted his back.

“Yongkang, you drank too much. You have to taste it carefully.”

“It’s too spicy.”

Qiu Yongkang’s fair face was dyed red by the wine. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his sleeve and smiled at Ji Shuisheng.

“Spicy wine has a high alcohol content, and the people of Tartan like to drink it. I will concoct another soft, low-alcohol wine suitable for scholars.”

Su Qing said to Qiu Yongkang. In her eyes, Qiu Yongkang was a scholar. Most scholars could not drink hard liquor, and many were in the Great Xia Kingdom. They liked to be cultured and refined, so they would prepare some light and soft wine parties that were more popular.

Right now, she only wanted to do business and quickly build this Mo City into a prosperous land. When the city became prosperous, she tried to bring her parents over and fulfil her filial piety on behalf of the original owner. She could also feel the joy of family.

“This kind of wine will only sell well in the Great Xia Kingdom.”

Qiu Yongkang placed the bowl back on the counter. The strong liquor had brought about a slight drunkenness, and he agreed with Su Qing when he heard she could make a wine with a lower alcohol content.

Ji Shuisheng asked Qiu Yongkang,

“Yongkang, have you found the person who made the wine barrel?”

“1 put up notices at the entrance of the government office and the city gate, asking for a craftsman who knows how to hoop wine barrels at a high price. With the generous reward, 1 found a veteran craftsman. It’s just that the salary he requested was a little too much so I couldn’t decide, so I came to discuss it with you.”

Qiu Yongkang immediately pulled himself together and explained the situation to Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng.

“How much?”

Su Qing asked, as long as it wasn’t too ridiculous.

“He wants an ewe.”

Qiu Yongkang told them of the old artiste’s request. A female sheep in the Great Xia Kingdom was worth five taels of silver, which was not cheap.

Su Qing agreed without hesitation,

“Sure, no problem.”

“Alright, I’ll go and tell him now.”

Qiu Yongkang nodded his head. He admired Su Qing on this point. She did not have the narrow-mindedness of a woman and was very forthright and generous.

“Yongjang, just now, Su Qing suggested that we do business with the Tartan Kingdom and set up accounts.”

Ji Shuisheng trusted Qiu Yongkang very much. He had always been in charge of logistics and wanted to continue handing it over to him.

“Alright.”

Qiu Yongkang was very touched and nodded solemnly,

“Since you trust me, I will do a good job.”

“Shuisheng, now that the business is slowly getting on the right track, everyone else gets paid for their work. Let’s see how Yongkang’s salary is calculated.”

Su Qing proposed to Ji Shuisheng. Ever since they came out of Peach Blossom Cove, Qiu Yongkang had been working tirelessly without complaint. Li Daniu, Jiang Laoqi, and the others would mine the coal for wages. He had never asked for it, as he could not let honest people suffer losses.

” Qing’er, I want to say that 1 want to take over the business of the mine. You’re working hard. Money can’t be considered an ordinary salary. 1 want to give you 10% of the profit from the mine. What do you think?”

Ji Shuisheng was very generous to Qiu Yongkang because he owed him for killing Qiu Yue, so he gave him some monetary compensation!

Xiaoying and Su Qing discovered the coal mine, so the profits should be divided into three parts. Xiaoying and Su Qing would take half, while he would keep 40% of the income for military expenses and the remaining 10% for Yongkang. Qiu Yongkang didn’t expect Ji Shuisheng to be so generous to him. A10% profit from the coal mine was also an astronomical figure. This proved that Shuisheng still treated him as a brother.

Qiu Yongkang’s eyes reddened, and the grudge he had disappeared. 10% of the profit was so much that Shuisheng could not take it even if he wanted to. He sniffed to suppress his surging emotions and smiled at Ji Shuisheng.

“Shuisheng, you don’t have to give me so much. Just give me the same amount as Li Daniu and the others.”

“You know that the decisions of the world’s people will not change.”

Ji Shuisheng’s tone was firm, and Qiu Yongkang could only accept it. He secretly decided to do the accounts well and take over all the matters in Mo City so that Shuisheng would not be distracted.

Su Qing killed a sheep at night and called the girls over to make

the mutton skewers. Everyone had been working hard recently, so the wine they made was for everyone to drink first.

Su Qing imitated the Xinjiang people’s Nang pit barbecue to develop new dishes and put the skewers into a special stove.

This stove was made of willows and mud. A few days ago, she had drawn a blueprint and asked Qiu Yongkang to find someone to help make this stove. Today, she tested it out and hoped that it would be successful.

Someone rushed into the courtyard as soon as she put the kebabs into the

stove..
