Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

Manager Wei frowned, then turned to look at Qi Feng with a questioning look in his eyes.

Qi Feng chuckled softly, "Manager Wei, I'm sorry, but the winter harvest is too low. If you buy it all at once, I'm afraid others will have objections."

As soon as Qi Feng finished speaking, several voices came from the surrounding area. They were all managers who were familiar with Manager Wei.

"Old Wei! What are we going to drink after you buy everything?"

"Exactly! You can't keep all this good stuff to yourself! Leave some for us!"

Hearing the comments from those around him, Manager Wei could only wave his hand.

"Alright, bring me a pot!"

After Manager Wei left, the rest of the people rushed forward to make purchases.

The popularity of Qi wine was even greater than Qi Feng had anticipated; all one hundred jugs of winter-aged wine were sold out in less than an hour.

The few people who were behind in line and didn't get any stood at the counter for a long time and refused to leave, so Yeh Chih-wan had to repeat "There will be more tomorrow" over and over again.

The Xia Yun-level wines were almost sold out before 5 PM, with some people even reserving their quotas for the next three days on the spot. Others walked to the shop's door, turned back, and ordered a pot of Qiu Shi wine before leaving.

Qi Feng noticed that the shop across the street, called Shenxianniang, had not opened. The lock on the door was tightly fastened, and a yellowed piece of paper was stuffed in a crack in the wall with four words written on it: "The owner has something to do."

After such a long fermentation period, not to mention the entire Longxi Prefecture, at least Shuofeng County knows that Qi Wine is more than one level higher than Shenxian Brew. Those who haven't tasted it yet are already impatient to try it.

It was already dark when they closed the shop. The staff closed the door, propped it up with pillars, and put away the tasting cups on the counter.

The wine jars were resealed and moved back to the warehouse.

Ye Zhiwan was behind the counter, rapidly calculating on her abacus, muttering to herself as she did so.

"One hundred and twenty taels for winter storage, fifty taels for summer flavor, and thirty-eight taels each for autumn harvest and spring brew."

After settling the accounts, Ye Zhiwan stopped what she was doing and said to Qi Feng:

"Brother-in-law, we sold a total of 246 taels today!"

"The winter-aged and summer-aged varieties are all sold out. What's left are the autumn-harvested and spring-brewed varieties, and there's only a little left. We've almost sold out of everything we brought today!"

"Moreover, quite a few people have already booked drinks for the next few days. At this rate, the monthly profit from just this one shop in Linzhao City will be at least a thousand taels of silver!"

Qi Feng took the ledger, glanced at it, closed it, and handed it back to her.

"After we get back, we need to recalculate the production capacity of the Chengbei Wine Cellar. If we increase production, we may not be able to supply Linzhao City with so much liquor in the future. Don't forget that there are also restaurants in Fuxing County."

Ye Zhiwan nodded, and the two of them packed up and returned to Fuxing County overnight without lingering.

On the way back to Fuxing County, Qi Feng sat in the carriage, his eyes closed as he pondered things.

Although the shop in Linzhao City opened smoothly, there are still many things waiting for him to solve.

The first is Huang Dingyuan, who is hiding in the shadows; the second is the movement of Da Rong; and the third is their current Qijiu industry.

Ye Zhiwan sat at the other end of the carriage, staring blankly at Qi Feng with his eyes closed. Suddenly, her face turned red as if she had thought of something.

After spending so much time together, Ye Zhiwan didn't even know when she had fallen for Qi Feng.

She was usually busy keeping accounts, but she was also very happy that Qi Feng and her sister were together.

But when Qi Feng returned covered in injuries that day, her heart clenched instantly, and that feeling made her realize that she liked Qi Feng.

"Zhiwan, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Qi Feng's voice snapped Ye Zhiwan out of her daze, and her face immediately flushed red.

"N-nothing..."

Qi Feng leaned forward, looking at Ye Zhiwan with a puzzled expression.

"Really? You seemed a bit troubled just now?"

Looking at Qi Feng so close to her, Ye Zhiwan's face turned bright red, her heart raced instantly, and she stammered, unable to speak.

"Zhiwan, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"

Qi Feng moved closer, almost touching Ye Zhiwan.

Just then, the carriage bumped into something and suddenly shook. Qi Feng lost his balance and fell forward onto Ye Zhiwan.

A pair of soft lips instantly pressed against Qi Feng's lips.

Ye Zhiwan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, but then her body became supple.

Qi Feng braced himself and quickly separated.

"Zhiwan, I didn't mean to!"

Ye Zhiwan remained silent, her face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng paused, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"Zhiwan...you..."

Qi Feng moved closer to Ye Zhiwan, and seeing that she did not dodge, he went directly to her side.

Qi Feng's large hand slowly landed on Ye Zhiwan's shoulder. Ye Zhiwan's delicate body trembled, but she did not resist. Seeing this, Qi Feng became bolder and pulled Ye Zhiwan into his arms.

Feeling the body in his arms gradually relax from stiffness, Qi Feng lowered his head and gently kissed it.

......

Back in Fuxing County, Qi Feng returned to Qi Family Restaurant, and that evening Ye Zhiwan also confessed her true feelings to the two women.

This time, the four of them had no other reservations and slept together.

After reclaiming the new land, Qi Feng pondered the path ahead.

His promotion was a done deal, but he didn't want to continue living like this.

With three women accompanying him, it would be unwise for him to go to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, swords and spears are silent, and no one knows what will happen. Qi Feng only wants to protect the three women and live a peaceful life.

The next morning, Zhong Shao sent someone to Qi Family Restaurant.

When Qi Feng arrived at the county government office, he saw that Zhong Shao and Zhao Tongchuan were both extremely excited.

"Brother Qi! The Rong army has retreated! They've all withdrawn! There's no need to fight anymore!"

Hearing Zhong Shao's words, Qi Feng was stunned, not expecting happiness to come so quickly.

Zhao Tongchuan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"I heard that something happened within the Great Rong, causing internal divisions, so the entire Great Rong army retreated! Now we can finally relax!"

"in addition......"

Zhao Tongchuan didn't say anything more, but looked at Zhong Shao.

Zhong Shao coughed lightly.

"Huang Dingyuan has also been found to have colluded with the Rong tribe. His entire family has been arrested, and Huang Dingyuan himself will be executed in the autumn!"

Hearing Zhong Shao's words, Qi Feng's face lit up with joy. In this way, the two biggest problems facing him had been completely solved!

Zhong Shao stepped forward, patted Qi Feng on the shoulder, and smiled:

"You'd better pay close attention to Qi Jiu from now on! From now on, we'll just focus on doing business!"

......

Qi Feng returned to the Qi Family Restaurant and told the three women the news. Upon hearing this, the three women were overjoyed and hugged Qi Feng, speechless with happiness.

Time passed, and a month later Qi Feng recovered his health. Qi Jiu's business expanded to Longxi Prefecture, and Qi Feng finally fulfilled his promise to Yu Yourong.

On a bright and beautiful day, Qi Feng held a grand wedding for his three daughters and brought them home!
