Give Me the Name of God

To deal with the three blind ducks, Manda didn't need to use all his strength, but his emotions were a little out of control. If the opponent couldn't get the seventy-five copper coins for the drink, he might even kill someone.

The Jeweler smelled the murderous aura on Manda, he didn't dare to rush forward, and let two servants rush forward first.

Manda punched a servant in the stomach. The servant saw his stomach sinking in with his fist, knelt on the ground and vomited, and another servant was kicked over by Manda.

The jeweler stood still, holding a short knife in his hand, and he might make a move at any time.

Manda walked forward slowly, and said in a low voice, Pay the drink right away, don't lose your life for seventy-five copper coins.

The Jeweler was silent, Manda jumped up and hit the Jeweler in the chest with a punch, and the Jeweler fell to the ground with a puff.

Manda's fist stayed in the air, unable to retract it for a long time.

The face of the Jeweler could be clearly seen just now, why only a hat and a robe were left on the ground.

He turned around and saw that the two servants had also disappeared. When he chased to the door, he saw three figures running wildly under the setting sun. Manda wanted to chase them out, but he heard Wurm shout: Don't chase, that businessman! He is a follower of Apata, the god of deceit, and you may not be able to defeat him.

Manda said angrily: Since you saw his identity, why didn't you come out to help?

This is a punishment from the gods. It's just a few glasses of wine, and the loss is not too big. Besides, they left behind clothes, which should be of the highest quality.

Manda stared at the clothes with cross-eyed eyes for a long time, then kicked the clothes and hat out of the door. The fabric was the worst linen, and together they were worth eight copper coins.

In just three days, after encountering two gangs of crooks, Manda sacrificed a whole plate of bacon to Hermes, hoping that the bad luck would end.

In the next month or so, only five guests came to the door, three of whom only ordered one glass of wine, one ordered five glasses of wine, and one came to beg for food.

The guest who came to beg for food came from Hongtu County, where a rebellion broke out, his home was destroyed, and he brought his wife and children to Niujiao Town to join relatives.

This was very important news, and Worm gave him a glass of wine for it, two pieces of bread and a piece of bacon, so that the whole family could have a full meal.

Red Earth County is the territory of the Marquis of Nars, and a rebellion occurred there, which proves that Nars has fallen into a situation of internal and external troubles, and this is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the fire.

Worm reported the news to the earl that day, but the earl didn't disclose any news, and only asked Worm to buy 5,000 pounds more grain.

Does the Count not want revenge? Disdain to do things that add insult to injury? Have you settled your feud with Nars?

Worm couldn't figure out what the earl was thinking, so he told Manda about the situation for the first time.

Manda doesn't care about the earl's mind, his only concern is why the earl doesn't give money.

One pound of grain costs one copper coin, and five thousand pounds costs fifty silver coins. The original capital has been spent long ago, but now Manda has to pay for every copper coin spent.

Worm is still keen on making wine. All the wine barrels in the tavern are filled. Manda sits at the door quietly in a daze. He still has four gold coins, eleven silver coins and thirty-three copper coins left in his hand. Down to figure out how to spend each copper coin.

Food must be bought and taxes must be paid, which requires seventy-five silver coins.

It's almost the end of the year, and it's time for the membership dues of the Bank of Communications, which requires thirty silver coins.

Wurm still needs to keep making wine. The day before yesterday, he found that the grapes were gone. He went crazy for a whole day. The money for buying grapes is at least 20 silver coins a month.

There was also the Maxima, whose psoriasis healed and became stronger, and his appetite increased accordingly. He had to eat 20 pounds of wheat and 50 pounds of grass every day, which cost him at least seven silver coins a month.

According to this trend, within three months, this tavern will close down.

Worm walked out of the warehouse with a few pots in his arms, and carefully placed the pots by the wall.

The wine barrels are used up, buy more.

Okay. Sitting at the door, Manda agreed blankly.

I know this is very difficult, but we must persevere, this is the earl's order. Worm sat beside Manda, took out three gold coins and stuffed them into Manda's hand.

A bookworm seldom has the chance to perform a mission. When he completes a mission, he will choose merit as a reward. He has been with the earl for decades, and these three gold coins are all his savings.

Is it just for the earl's order? Manda looked at Worm with a smile.

Yes. Worm's cheeks were twitching, his left eye was drooping, his right eye was raised, and the tip of his nose was skewed to his cheeks. Every time he lied, his facial features would be distorted.

No wonder he has become annoying and mean, he needs this tavern, here is the life he really yearns for.

Think of a way, you always have a way. Worm stuffed three gold coins into Manda's hand.

There will be a way. Manda clutched the gold coins tightly and went back to her room.

At dawn the next day, Manda spent twenty copper coins to hire a carriage or two, and took two barrels of wine to Dunison's residence.

Seeing the wine barrels on the car, Dunison frowned and said: If you want to sell wine in the market, you need to pay another membership fee, and I will not give you a booth easily. Every row has its own rules. If you want to Sell ​​me the wine, I advise you to take it back, I am not short of wine.

This is a gift for you, please try it, if you like it, I will send more.

Dunison didn't want to accept Manda's wine, he didn't want to have too much trouble with the Earl's people, but when he saw Manda put five gold coins on the wine barrel, he changed his mind, the money didn't count for him Too much, but he likes smart kids.

He took a sip of the wine, smacked his lips, tasted the mellow aroma of the wine, and also tasted the purpose of Manda's visit.

Dunison said with a smile: It's a pity that such a good wine cannot be sold because the tavern is remote. How much does a barrel of wine like this cost?

Three silver coins. Manda also smiled, talking to smart people is so simple.

A very reasonable price. Dunison pointed out two ways for Manda. The first way: sell the wine to various taverns.

There are four taverns in Niujiao Town, and none of them will refuse such good wine. You can sell at least eighty barrels a month.

Eighty barrels of wine, two hundred and forty silver coins, and after deducting the cost and tax of wine making, you can almost earn one and a half gold coins.

This kind of income is enough to support the operation of a tavern, but it is far from Manda's ambition.

The second way: Sell the wine to Lord Viscount.

A barrel of wine costs sixteen silver coins, so that you can be worthy of the status of a viscount. You can sell almost ten barrels a month, but there are two conditions. First, you can continue to sell wine in the tavern, but you can't sell the wine. For other taverns, this is exclusive to the Viscount Gaisak, and second, half of the income from selling wine must go to me, because I introduced you to the Viscount.

Ten barrels of wine, one hundred and sixty silver coins, half of which belonged to Dunison, leaving only eighty silver coins, not counting the tax and the cost of wine making, this road seems to be a big loss.

But there is still an attractive condition waiting for him.

Dunison said with a smile: If you choose this path, you will meet the Viscount. A smart person like you probably doesn't want to sell wine for a lifetime.
