Chapter 107: A vat of spirits
Just when Heng Zhi's thoughts collided, he quickly finished lunch in this flower shop.
Yun Lu had already settled the account quickly, and then took Mrs. Liu to the cloth shop and pastry shop on this street to have a look.
And Heng Zhi is now sitting in the carriage, drinking tea, smelling the green plum flower wine given by the little second girl just before leaving, and her heart is a little greedy, she thinks that if she lives in Zhuangzi tonight, she will treat this as a supper at night.
When Heng Zhi was thinking about the next arrangement, Yun Liu on the other side took this Liu Pozi to buy two pieces of blue and white cloth from this cloth village, and some brighter fabrics that were more beautiful.
After a few catties of liquor from those wineries, Yunlu obeyed Heng Zhi's instructions and said to the steward here.
"Do you still have your strongest wine, come and bring us a vat. ”
Seeing that it was a girl who was purchasing, the steward paused slightly, and then said very respectfully.
"I specialize in selling wine here, of course, I have the strongest wine, but I don't know what this girl is used for, whether it is to entertain guests, or to give gifts outside, or whether she has a banquet at home, and then uses it for banquets?"
Because these wines are divided into three, six, nine and so on, this kind of liquor is at least divided into three grades, the third class, that is, the inferior liquor mixed with a lot of water, the second class is a small half of the wine, and this kind of liquor is a spirit that has no water at all, this kind of liquor makes people a little dizzy after drinking a bowl, so generally these wines are made for those big men who do heavy work.
"My master wants to make some grapes and make some wine, I don't know if you have any wine that you can recommend? The price is not a problem, we are not short of money, we just want good things." ”
Although Yunlu didn't understand what the boss meant, she still said it according to Heng Zhi's instructions, because Heng Zhi just thought that this autumn was the season of harvest for all things, and there were many grapes, so if you make some wine and pickle some in the coming year, you can drink it for a long time.
"If you want to make your own wine, I suggest that you use second-class wine to make such wine, the wine is very pure and sweet, and it is not spicy, suitable for female guests?"
"Okay, then let's have an outline, just such a second-class spirit, okay, check out!"
After Yunlu settled the account, she asked Mrs. Liu and the nursing home to carry these things, and then came to the door of the flower shop to gather with everyone.
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and drink some herbal tea to moisten your throat, the day just now was quite big, and you guys are also quite hard, you're welcome. ”
Lifting the curtain, Heng Zhi first asked Yunlu to sit down and take a sip of hot tea before letting him speak.
"Mrs. Hui's words, just now we bought more than 20 catties of spirits, which were 90 catties of first-class liquor and 10 catties of second-class liquor......
The cloth I bought was the blue and white cloth that these people loved to use, and some brighter materials, and the pastries were peach crisp and hawthorn pot, and I bought two catties respectively...... , and also bought a pound of osmanthus candy......"
After hearing this, Heng Zhi also felt that although these gifts were not so valuable, this was just the beginning, if the girl was really confirmed to be the granddaughter of Mrs. Liu, there would still be a lot of gratitude afterwards.
"Yes, these gifts are just right, now let's go directly to the Wutong Village to have a look......
"Yes, the slave maid will tell the groom to go to Wutong Village now......"
In Wutong Village, now converted to modern time, it is three or four o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time when the sun is the strongest, and the general farmers will say that they will go home at this time to have a hot meal, take a good rest, and wait for the sun to be less intense, and then go to the field to harvest wheat.
However, there are some special examples, that is, there is too much land in the house, and the population is too small, so in order to harvest all the wheat before the next rainy season, even if it is under such a strong sun, it will not go back to rest, and casually pick up two mouthfuls of rice and continue to harvest wheat.
So when Hengzhi's carriage swayed to the head of Wutong Village, it was immediately discovered by the farmers who were busy working in the fields.
Heng Zhi asked the nursing home to greet the red-faced man from the village.
"Come on, fellow, please come over, I ask Ning Yilu, you see how hard it is on such a hot day, come on, come on, there are some spirits, after drinking, the body immediately has strength, and there are some pastries, you can also let the child taste it when you go back." ”
Heng Zhi made such a look, the tall nurse, and took a small bag of pastries and a small bowl of spirits from the carriage behind him.
Generally in ancient times, when these men were doing heavy farm work, they would always drink some spirits, and then adjust all the strength in their bodies to have the strength to do heavy work.
The fellow wiped the sweat from his forehead, squinted his eyes, and looked at this cool and very luxurious carriage, and there was a carriage with a clear curtain behind it, and knew that this was probably a big man.
In particular, the other party was very kind enough to take pastries and spirits, so he thought that even if he asked for directions, he told her that he could still get it, and this thing was not bad, so he put the sickle behind him and walked quickly to the front and back of the carriage.
"The little one is expensive now, people are going to ask where the road is? Oh, this liquor is not needed, I am working, the liquor is also forgotten, I am not greedy for a cup, if this peach blossom cake is used, let the little old man take it back, and let my grandchildren taste it." ”
"Old man, I just want to ask, which family is in our village? Our master needs to find this place to discuss something, so I came here, but this is in a hurry, and I haven't sent someone in time to come, so I want to ask the ...... of the way."
Try to find the most stewarded person in the village, this fellow's heart will be steady, and it will not be a big deal for him to find the person in charge above, so he said to this groom very sincerely.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen the big blue-brick mansion on the highest threshold in that village?
That's Wu Lizheng from our village, he should be eating lunch at home now, and if you knock on the door now, he will be inside. ”
Heng Zhi raised her eyebrows with great interest, it turned out that these people were not only saying that they were braving the sun to do farm work, but also that some people were particularly afraid of the heat, and then hid at home, and only came to do farm work when the heat gradually subsided in the evening!
After hearing this, Heng Zhi whispered to Yun Lu next to her, and then ordered the carriage to take down a small package of osmanthus candy, this osmanthus candy is not expensive, so that the grandchildren of this old man can have a sweet mouth.
