The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 102. The Past Lenfan bg. 2

Lenfan went into Kongchu's shop.

Inside the Shop, Lenfan saw Kongchu talking to Guzhimei, who was then 14 years old.

Not long after, Guzhimei approached Lenfan who was standing at the left corner of the entrance to Kongchu Shrine.

" Come.. Follow me. Uncle Kongchu told me to take you to clean up and wash yourself... "

" Oh yeah.. My name is Guzhimei, it looks like we are the same age, I am now only 14 years old "

" What's your name? "

" Where are you from? "

Guzhimei continued to flood Lenfan with many questions. Lenfan answered all of Guzhimei's questions, including telling Guzhimei what his name was. Whether intentional or not, Guzhimei called him Cenfan.

At that time Lenfan thought Guzhimei was just misheard but until they separated many years later Lenfan was always known as Cenfan by Guzhimei, Kongchu, and everyone who knew him in the Capital.

" This is your room. Uncle Kongchu said you can sleep while here. After you get your first paycheck, you have to find your own house "Point Guzhimei towards a room that is more or less a warehouse.

A thin mat was among such a large pile of items.

" Not to worry. Uncle Kongchu didn't want to give you a decent room. But in this shop there is only one room and that I have used... "

" Uncle Kongchu does not live here, he lives with his son and wife in the western district "Guzhimei said when he saw Lenfan furrowing eyebrows at the room he was given.

Lenfan was actually not disappointed or complaining, he was just too tired if he had to clean up the pile of items in order to have a little space for himself.

" This is your outfit. Replace it with this and rest. Tomorrow morning you have to get ready for work. I'm going yes.. "

" If you have something to ask, just look ahead " Guzhimei said to go back to work.

Lenfan's shed bed is located at the back of the Shop. Kongchu's shop was located in the northern district of the City of Light Sky. The City of Light Sky is divided into six districts, namely the eastern district, the southern district, the western district, the northern district, the central district, and the special district.

The next day...

" Fenfan. This is how we do our job, more silence than serving the visitors "Guzhimei complained after almost half a day sitting standing waiting for customers.

" Is every day like this? " Ask Lenfan.

Lenfan did not protest with that nickname, after all it was also good for him. Thus no one will know that he is a descendant of the Len breed that survived.

" yes. Always like this. There used to be great chefs working for Uncle, but due to salary issues, the chef moved to work at the Parta Lumbung Restaurant "Sahut Guzhimei.

" Who's been cooking all this time? " Ask Lenfan.

" I cooked "Suddenly Kongchu appeared to interrupt the conversation between the two.

" Not because our shop is quiet and then you can relax.. There out try to invite customers to eat here " Kongchu shook his head, it has been a few months, Kedainya only approached one or two people.

Lenfan and Guzhimei went out of the Shop and tried to persuade passersby to stop by and eat at their Shop. But until nightfall not a single person who would stop by for a moment to the Shop.

Such days keep repeating for up to several weeks. Because of the condition of the store that is so quiet, Kongchu often laughed at by Cangren. Cangren insulted Kongchu for taking in new employees but was unable to get a buyer. Kedainya remained quiet even though he had recruited Lenfan as an employee.

" uncle. I'm sorry, I didn't help much. I even insulted the bad guy " Lenfan told Kongchu as they sat three in front of the Shop staring at the night sky.

" What are you saying. Don't mind the dog barking. I'm fine, we're fine, it's just we're lacking effort.. "

" At present, many visitors prefer to drink quality wine than the wine we have. Try it, we have quality wine at low prices, Uncle is sure they will come one by one " Kongchu said.

" But Uncle-made wine is also delicious " Sahut Guzhimei.

" Lohs... Why would you know? " Kongchu and Lenfan turned their heads towards Guzhimei.

" Don't you all this time, the wine that Uncle told you to throw away because it didn't do that, you drank? " Tanya Kongchu with a slightly glared look towards Guzhimei.

Guzhimei chuckled and nodded, confirming that during this time when he had been told by Kongchu to throw away the unsalted wine, he tasted and drank it several times.

' Arak? Is that Gu breed wine able to sell if we sell it here? ' Inner Lenfan after laughing.

While still hitchhiking at the Gu breed residence, Lenfan was often ordered to buy some raw materials for making wine. He said the Gu breed's artificial wine was, very tasty, really intoxicating.

Lenfan certainly did not know the taste, he just heard that the wine was really good. Because it is often given the task of buying raw materials for wine makers, Lenfan memorized what are the ingredients needed to make wine belonging to the Gu breed.

" uncle. I have a recipe for making good wine. But I only have a recipe, I don't know how to make and also don't know the taste of " Lenfan said after recalling all the ingredients to make the wine.

" really? " Tanya Kongchu who was replied with a nod by Lenfan.

Be finally Lenfan wrote the recipe for raw materials for making Gu breed wine. With Kongchu's ability to make wine, he combined Lenfan's recipe with the recipe he had.

After several failures, Kongchu finally managed to get an incredible taste. Kongchu managed to make quality wine at a low price.

Kongchu laughed happily before Lenfan and Guzhimei when he succeeded, "Cenfan. It's all thanks to your prescription... "

" I will name this wine as Arak Cenchu, what do you think? " Task Kongchu with a big smile.

Lenfan agreed with the name. From what Kongchu did, Lenfan gained knowledge of wine making.

Initially Arak Cenchu was distributed free of charge to the warriors who passed around their Shop. Over time the news of the delicacy of Arak Cenchu finally brought many warriors and residents around. Sales also increased. Kongchu shops are back.

Seeing this, Cangren slightly regretted ever rejecting Lenfan as a new employee. In Cangren's eyes back then, Lenfan was just a useless rascal.

Cangren wanted to cooperate with Kongchu and was willing to buy Arak Cenchu at a high price to sell at his inn. Of course Kongchu refused.

Kongchu actually sold Arak Cenchu to the North Star Inn, so many switched to staying at the inn.

The North Star Inn was a huge success thanks to Arak Cenchu. Thanks to that, the inn opened branches in every district in the City of Light Sky.

" uncle. Why would Uncle let the North Star Inn sell Arak Cenchu? " Ask Lenfan.

" I'll let it. The inn belonged to my wife "Bisik Kongchu slowly to Lenfan.

Hearing that answer, Lenfan realized that all this time, Kongchu could survive without visitors thanks to a capital loan from his wife who is also a businessman.

" kids. Do you know why I asked about self-esteem? " Say Kongchu.

Lenfan shakes not understanding.

" That's because I wanted to tell you that you are capable and don't need to beg people like Cangren. Now all of that is proven, right?.. "

" All this progress, thanks to you. Thanks to your hard work and efforts "Say Kongchu while patting Lenfan on the shoulder.

Kongchu's speech resuscitated Lenfan. Since then Lenfan has regained his confidence, Kongchu's remarks made Lenfan realize, that even though he is now a kara, he should not be discouraged.

On the other hand, having lost the competition with the North Star Inn, the Cangren Inn went out of business. Cangren sold his inn to a woman named Ziyishi.

Ziyishi is what eventually became known as the Lady of Beautiful Flowers, the owner of the Exquisite Flower Pavilion, the number one brothel in the Royal Capital of Penda.

Ziyishi also requested cooperation with Kongchu to sell Arak Cenchu at the Exquisite Flower Pavilion. Kongchu agreed, only at a price ten times more expensive.

Lenfan did not know, what was the reason Kongchu sold such a high price to Ziyishi. Later, after Lenfan has his own house, a small hut that he made himself, then Lenfan knows the reason.

Accidentally, when he wanted to go home to his hut after work. Lenfan saw that Cangren was there and was working in the Exquisite Flower Pavilion, but he hid himself. In addition, there are rumors saying that the famous Bandit Group became the supplier of young girls to work in Ziyishi's Pavilion.

That was the reason Kongchu sold expensive to Ziyishi. Other than because Kongchu did not dare to refuse due to the Bandit Group behind Ziyishi.

Despite such bad rumors, no one dared to harass the Pavilion. All the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Penda and the Nobles turned their faces away from the case of the sale and auction of the girl carried out in the Pavilion.

Lenfan who was just an ordinary person could not do much, he only felt sorry when he heard the rumors.

Time passed and did not feel Lenfan had worked for seven months more at the Kongchu Store, Lenfan's life was normal and ordinary.

But one day, when he came home from work and arrived at his little hut. Lenfan's normal life is starting to change. A half-naked girl hid in a corner of her hut room.

Seriate...
