"No, I recently took over the Cloud Garment Workshop and am preparing to rebuild it.
"But I heard those master craftsmen with considerable martial prowess charge quite a bit, too.
"So I still need to find a way to earn some Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I won't be able to start work." Tang Wen shook his head.
"You're thinking along the same lines as me," Ku Mutong said.
"Do you have a way to make money, Senior?" Tang Wen asked.
"I'll invite some friends over tonight, and we'll eat at the Heavenly River Pavilion. Bring out your liquor then and let all my friends try it. But this meal is on you," Ku Mutong said.
"Of course, of course." Tang Wen nodded repeatedly.
"Don't call me Senior. Just call me Brother Ku Mu," Ku Mutong said.
"Brother Ku Mu, then I won't stand on ceremony," Tang Wen said.
"What ceremony? I've already taken plenty from you for free. Don't stand on ceremony with them, either. They have Spirit Stones in their pockets." Ku Mutong gave a dry chuckle.
"You can't put it that way. You're promoting my goods for me, Brother Ku Mu, helping your little brother earn more money. If we sell enough, I'll give you a commission of one tael of gold per bottle," Tang Wen said.
"No, no. I've already gotten hundreds of bottles of liquor from you for nothing. How could I have the nerve to take your money?" Ku Mutong waved his hand.
"That's not how you should look at it. If we sell a lot, it'll all be thanks to you, Brother Ku Mu.
"After all, I haven't been in Black Tortoise City long. I'm a stranger to both the people and the place, and I still need your protection in all sorts of matters.
