Chapter 238: Strengths

(I'm sorry, it's down, for the sake of this chapter, there are 500 more words, so don't worry about it, go back and find the editor to see if you can transfer it, shame~)

Pick and choose until there are really so many people who can enter Guan Gongzi's eyes, and then send the gifts and work to Ouyang Kang, he is not stingy, and directly said to Guan Gongzi, "You pick what you like first." ”

Guan Yaozu didn't pick, let Pei Yaoqing pick it, "Take whatever you want, politely just don't give face to my senior brother." ”

Guan Gongzi has been looking for a lot of people recently, and the popularity index of the outside world has been high, and the popularity index of returning home has also remained high. In the past, the people who came to his house were basically looking for the three old men of the Guan family, but now they are more trying to go around Guan Gongzi.

There is no need to say much about the beauty of this. In short, Guan Gongzi is very cool, so cool that he regards money as dung, even if he sticks it upside down, he is willing to be a good economic person.

It's just that Xiao Pei Lianhua was touched again, how good the senior brother is to him, and he doesn't forget anything good. However, he is very measured, and at most he picks some of the four treasures of the study. When Ouyang Kang asked the little servant to take the rest of the things back, he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.

To say that Mr. Su's astonishing painting has certainly brought his reputation to a higher level, but his reputation can't be eaten, and it is Ouyang Kang who really gets the most cheap.

Guan Gongzi's eyes are very generous, and the gifts he gives are not light. Mu Cai picked the ones he liked and kept them, played with the valuables, and handed them all over to Ouyang Kang to keep. This kid knows better than she that he cherishes things, and he keeps valuable things. It reassures her more than letting go of Nianfu's own hands.

"If one or two come to you every month to ask you to frame, it's better than my business!"

Is that. Ouyang Dashao nodded solemnly, and he also felt very uncomfortable. Man, you really have to have an economic status to make your waist harder.

However, he did not hesitate to praise Nianfu, "Your mushroom is also very good, and many people have come to inquire." But Uncle Du told me not to sell it. Staying at home to make a specialty, or giving it to friends and family in the future, is a great gift. ”

In this way, Nianfu listened with a little regret. But look at the gift in your hand. She also felt that it didn't matter.

Ouyang Kang made friends with rich people, although others would not take anything from them, but they had to get by with face, and they couldn't be too stingy. Look at these gold beads and jade stones. Are you embarrassed to be a cabbage radish? There's got to be something you can get your hands on.

The mushroom cost is low. It's easy to do. But it's a rarity. Especially this year, if you take out this mushroom, how much money can the whole family and Du Chuan save?

Think of it this way. She smiled again, "Do you think we are throwing mushrooms and repaying Qiong Yao?" ”

The children downstairs have just learned the Book of Poetry, and she has listened to it all day long, and she has been re-edified, and has learned a lot of "great wisdom" from it.

But Ouyang Kang looked at her appearance as a little profiteer, and knocked her unceremoniously, "It's insulting!" It's time for you to practice your calligraphy, and you can't see those strokes yet. Even Luo Wu is stronger than you! ”

Nianfu pinched back angrily, "That's because you didn't teach well!" ”

Then keep teaching!

Mr. Ouyang was waiting for this, and after arresting someone, he began to write. Zhengda Guangming touches the little hand or something, it doesn't feel too good!

It's just that when Su Cheng heard about it later, he really scoffed, "The inside should be combined with the outside, and the value of self-esteem should be raised." It's all about Lao Tzu's leftovers, and that's all there is to it! ”

Du Chuan glanced at him with disgust, "Your students don't play with what you have left, are you happy to play with other people?" Ah Kang is a boy in the end, and he will have to support his family in the future, how can he always rely on Ah Fu? I think that's fine, as long as he doesn't delay his schoolwork, you don't mess around in front of him. The man is young and thin-skinned, so he can save some face. ”

Su Cheng said disapprerovingly, "Face is always earned by yourself, but it is not left by others." To be my Su Cheng's apprentice, you have to learn when to pick up face and when to completely lose it. The skin is thin, and it is thick when it is grinded. By the way, did I ask you to get him a sword? That little white face didn't hurry up to learn some self-defense skills, and turned around and bullied people again, or shame on me. ”

"Not yet. I went to ask today, and I said that I would get it later. However, Lao Wu said, just now there was a guest from the Western Regions in the city, bringing some good swords, and asked if you were interested in going to see it. ”

Su Cheng salivated and smiled, "Then do you want me to take a look?" ”

Du Chuan smiled, "This year, your apprentice and Ah Fu are going to come to pay tribute to the New Year's goods, plus Wu Mian's charcoal subsidy, the family can save some silver." Go and see, and those who are less than a thousand taels will call me. ”

Su Cheng suddenly put on an affectionate look, "It's better for you to treat me." ”

Du Chuan couldn't help laughing, shook his head and scolded "oily tone", and went to his own business.

Business is good at the end of the year, and although the output of their winery is limited, they always have to do more than usual during the New Year, otherwise they won't even have enough to drink at home.

When I got to the shop, the young man greeted me, "Boss, boss, there is a military master, and he wants to order a thousand catties of wine when he opens his mouth, I said no, he doesn't believe it, and he refuses to leave there." ”

Du Chuan hurried over, but saw that the soldier looked very powerful, not like an ordinary soldier, so he hurriedly gave a salute and said, "Don't be surprised, guest officer, our small shop, it really can't be done for a thousand catties, even if it is barely made, it is not the right appetite, but you don't dare to fool people." ”

The soldier frowned, "I see that you have enough wine jars in this store for a thousand catties, why don't you sell me?" Aren't you afraid that I won't give money? ”

He took out a large number of silver tickets from his arms, "Take a good look, this is the most famous time-honored brand in the capital, you will pay when you see the ticket, and you will not be missing!" ”

Du Chuan didn't stretch out his hand to take the money, but just smiled, "All the wine here adds up to a thousand catties, but many of them are not timely, and some of them have already been ordered." We only have a maximum of two jars of wine for takeaway every day, and they are gone when they are sold out. If you want one or two hundred pounds, I can barely scrape together. No matter how much you can't do. ”

"Then I don't care!" The soldier was rude, and slapped the silver ticket directly on the table, "I came to your house on the order of our general, I came to buy a thousand catties of wine, and I can't do it if I don't have a pound or a tael." It doesn't matter how you get it, anyway, go get me a thousand pounds. I have paid the money, and I will come to fetch the wine in ten days. Whatever you want, in short, you are not allowed to mix with water, and the taste should be good. If you disobey military orders. No mercy! ”

Du Chuan was anxious. He grabbed the silver ticket and tried to send it back, but the soldier jumped on his horse and ran away, not giving him a chance to speak at all. Isn't this a forced buy and a forced sale? Besides, even if he is a god, he can't make so much wine?

The young man asked scaredly. "Boss. What can I do? If we can't brew it, will the military master really bring someone to cut off our heads? ”

Du Chuan thought for a moment. Gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear anyone say, as long as you don't mix it with water." The taste is okay. I'll write a list, you quickly take someone to buy these wines and come back, I usually teach you to taste wine, pick the good and bad, don't let people cheat. ”

The young man answered and hurried away.

Du Chuan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work, and on the other hand, he asked someone to call Nianfu.

I don't know what happened here, Ouyang Kang also rushed over in a panic, "Uncle Du, is something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the military master wants a lot of wine and is urgent, and I want Ah Fu to help. Girl, do you know how to make wine? ”

"Yes." Nianfu nodded violently, like a chicken pecking rice, "I did a good job of the sweet and sour rice wine I drank in summer!" ”

Du Chuan looked at her and smiled, "That's not going to happen." But it doesn't matter, listen to your master, you don't watch the fire badly, right? ”

That's a must, an absolute strength!

Nianfu is very confident, "Don't say more, I can still see the fire in the hundred eyes right now." ”

Du Chuan smiled and didn't speak, just took her into a room, pointed to a huge wine barrel hanging in the air and asked her, "I want you to work in shifts with me, take care of such a big wine barrel, until you brew a thousand catties of wine, you won't be able to rest well for about three days and three nights, can you do it?" ”

Yes! Nian Fu opened his mouth and was shocked, this bucket is the size of a small room in an ordinary family, so what kind of grandeur should it be to start a fire?

"Don't worry, she can do it!" Before Nianfu could express his position, Ouyang Kang expressed his determination for her first, "You will be here to help these days, and the matter of the Qianqiu Banquet will be handed over to me first." ”

Anyway, Nianfu has already decided to make tofu, and now the question is just what kind of tofu to make. Ouyang Dashao doesn't know how to cook, but he can help her figure out how she wants to make this dish.

So poor Nianfu was thrown down like this, and Zhu Silin was also Ouyang Kang who went to help her ask for leave.

Hearing that she was going to help Du Chuan make a fire, and it was very likely that it would burn for three days and three nights, Master Zhu was not distressed at all, but shouted, "Don't be polite to your Uncle Du." It is to let her try to control all kinds of heat, so that she will not be afraid when she encounters problems in the future. Forget it, I'll go there myself and let her keep an eye on it alone. That girl is a spinning top, and she can't do it if she doesn't whip it. Anyway, she is still young, and she is not like us old people, and she has nothing to do for a few days. ”

I thought I was ruthless, but I didn't expect Jiang to be older and spicier.

Ouyang Dashao wanted to force his family to be motivated, but he felt distressed when he was forced too hard, and said seriously, "After all, she is inexperienced, if she is stared at the whole process, I am afraid that she will make a mistake, this time, it is better to let Uncle Du take it." ”

That's just as well. finally persuaded Zhu Silin, so Nianfu was not so hard.

However, when the guy dragged the whole car of wine back, tasted it by Du Chuan one by one, and then matched it in proportion, poured it into a super-large wine barrel, and lit the fire, Nianfu was still shocked by that scene.

Ever seen an entire house burning in front of you? Du's steamed wine is similar to that.

At the moment, she finally knew what the Du family's liquor was called "spicy death does not pay for life", because this was already a preliminarily distilled liquor. However, it is not completely distilled, so it is only spicy in the mouth, which is still somewhat different from the high-purity liquor of later generations.

So, Nianfu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Du, since you are making steamed wine, why don't you make pure steamed wine?" ”

Du Chuan was stunned, "Pure steamed wine? ”

"Yes, such a vat, as long as a very simple drainage device is added to export the steamed wine, isn't it pure steamed wine? It doesn't have to be as troublesome as if you sifted the wine every time. ”

Du Chuan was a little shocked, this girl dared to think about it!

"But do you know how much puree is needed for that way? How expensive does it have to be? ”

Not...... Recalling and recalling, wine is really a luxury, and in later generations, there are only two or three kittens that can insist on brewing and steaming with grain, and they are all sold at a huge price.

Consider the reality of the current society, or should you give up? Nianfu felt a little pity.

"Anyway, this time there are so many things to do, why don't you just try." However, Su Cheng came to hear the news and was very interested in the pure steamed wine. His amount of wine is not as good as Du Chuan, but he likes to try everything, and this one is good, "I want to see what pure steamed wine tastes like without sifting." ”

Ouyang Kang saw Nianfu's regretful expression, and also came to help fight, "Uncle Du, let's not do too much first, just try a little." ”

All right. Du Chuan was also eager to try it to everyone, according to what Nianfu said, he made a small diversion device on the lid of the wine barrel, so that it could slowly drip out of the wine, put a jar at the bottom to catch it, and began to steam the wine. (To be continued......)
