Chapter 103: The larger your ambitions, the smaller the world
Translator: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow
The wine tavern wasn’t big, but it was in a good location; it was at the eastern side of the village near the eastern gate.
The flow of people was the largest at the eastern and northern gates. Thus, the wine tavern’s business was pretty good whether it was day or night.
“Young lord, please take a seat.” An old man lowered his head to Fang Yuan.
Few waiters wiped the benches and tables with a fawning and flattering smile towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan shook his head. He didn’t sit, but walked around the tavern, sizing everything. He thought inwardly, “This is my wine tavern.”
This wine tavern only had one floor, but it had an underground wine cellar.
Huge and square black tiles covered the floor. There were eight square tables; two tables were set against the wall and other six tables were surrounded by four benches.
A dark brown, long sales counter could be seen immediately upon entering the wine tavern. There were papers, brush, ink stones and also an abacus on the counter. Behind the counter was the liquor cabinet where all sizes of wine jars were displayed. Some of these were large wine jars of black pottery, and some were small and bright porcelain wine bottles.
Fang Yuan was walking around as he wished; the old man and waiters didn’t dare to sit, they could only follow close behind.
They were restless, the news of the landlord changing was too abrupt. The previous landlord Gu Yue Dong Tu was cunning as a ghost, he was strict and acrimonious; they were under a lot of pressure. This boy in front of them was actually able to take the wine tavern from Gu Yue Dong Tu’s hands. Such a method of snatching was shocking. So these people’s gazes towards Fang Yuan carried unease and fear.
Fang Yuan suddenly stopped, “It is good. But this store is a bit small.”
The old man immediately walked forward and bowed to answer, “Young lord, we put sheds outside every summer and lay tables and benches. But it is winter now and the wind is biting cold, no one would sit outside even if we put up sheds. So we took them down.”
Fang Yuan slightly turned. He glanced at this old man, “You are the shopkeeper?”
The old bent his waist even lower and said even more respectfully, “I dare not, I dare not. Young lord, this wine tavern is yours, whoever you choose as a shopkeeper is the shopkeeper.”
Fang Yuan nodded then glanced at the waiters; they all seemed to be competent.
If it was on earth, he would be anxious that this shopkeeper and the waiters would team up and scheme against him, the owner. But in this world, Gu Masters were high and mighty, killing mortals would only require a thought. Even if Uncle and Aunt egged them, these mortals wouldn’t dare to go against Fang Yuan.
“Alright, bring the accounting books and bring me a pot of tea.” Fang Yuan sat down.
“Yes, young lord.” The shopkeeper and waiters moved hurriedly.
There were as much as sixteen account books, and every book used bamboo papers which had a light green hue. The bamboo papers were more brittle than Xuan paper and were suitable for the damp atmosphere of the Southern Border.
Fang Yuan casually picked up a few books and skimmed over them, asking some questions occasionally.
