Some places are famous for spring water, but there are also places famous for spring water, the water of Xiahe Village, the Hongya Immortal Spring in the north of Mocheng and the south of Beihu, and the small spring in the Beihu Oasis. Some places are famous for spices, but there are at least four places famous for spices, not to mention that Beihu is very close to the Jin Kingdom, which is a bit exotic, and even the spice Chinese medicine hall in Yecheng has two streets. And koji, not to mention, there are 38 kinds of koji making methods recorded in the "Book of Wine" alone, and they make wine in Yecheng, including these places very close to Yecheng, most of which are wheat koji and rice koji. Mocheng likes to use red yeast rice and small koji, and it is even more messy when it comes to Beihu, and it is really used for everything, and even Daqu, which will be used in large quantities to brew distilled spirits, is commonly used by Beihu people to make rice wine.

These are just big categories, and if you distinguish them into small ones, they will be even more complicated.

As far as taking the water of Hehe Village is concerned, the water of Xiahe Village is the water used for food and clothing in Xiahe Village, which originated from the hundred-year-old mulberry tree, and has been running through Xiahe Village from east to west, and then flows into Luhua Town. Needless to say, the water in the upper reaches is clear and sweet, but the lower part of the middle reaches has a different taste because it flows through a forest and some flowers and plants grow by the river. It's just that the water downstream is not good, because the people in the village use the water of the river to wash clothes.

The koji is made by different people, and the form and effect of the koji on the sake are more or less different. Even if it is the same with the first wheat harvested after autumn, it is not the same.

Regarding the selection of materials, Gu Huacheng thought about it for a long time.

Fusang and Jiuniang Jiang Nu also followed with a sad face for many days, and thought of many ways, but they were all denied by Gu Huacheng.

Later, Meng Youcai came back from school, looked at the sad faces of a group of people at the dinner table, felt very uncomfortable, and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"The next competition. What should we do. Jiang Nu glanced at Meng Youcai weakly and replied lightly.

Meng Youcai was even more puzzled: "Why can't you think of what to brew after you have been to so many places?" ”

"It's because there are so many places to go, so now there is chaos."

"Then wouldn't it be good if you mixed all the flavors, no matter how powerful Yu Jiaoniang is, she won't be better than you, right?"

In a word, Daigo empowerment, why didn't everyone think before that they could mix together the flavors of those who thought they could take it? In that way, even if the brew is not a taste, it will definitely be something that can be passed on.

Fusang patted Meng Youcai's shoulder, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he didn't expect that Meng Youcai, who even wrote his name like a dog. There are also times when he is smart, and he can also enter the academy and let the master look at each other.

Gu Huacheng couldn't help but praise Meng Youcai twice, Meng Youcai smiled, a little shy.

Jiuniang glanced at Meng Youcai, frowned as if she remembered something, and asked, "Now that the competition is over, why do you still run home every day and stay in the academy uncomfortably, and your master won't talk about you?" ”

Meng Youcai grabbed his hair. smiled at Jiu Niang and was a little embarrassed: "Second sister, I think it's better to go home." ...... in the college"

"Someone bullied you?" Jiuniang frowned.

Meng Youcai waved his hand: "No, no, it's not, it's just ......" said. Meng Youcai lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiuniang just looked at Meng Youcai, he didn't speak, and she didn't speak. Who knows what this kid thinks all day.

Instead, Fusang glanced at Meng Youcai and asked, "Most of your classmates in the academy are the children of the official eunuchs, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Meng Youcai snorted.

In this way, Jiu Niang has some understanding. Everyone is the second generation of the legendary rich second generation official, and only Meng Youcai, who is a halfway monk, still relies on the relationship of Lord Chen. Meng Youcai, who was born partially, is another one who has nothing to do with Lord Chen. In such an environment, it is very normal to be talked about. It's just that Meng Youcai, who can make his face thick-skinned like this, has a psychology of resistance to the academy, and Jiuniang still feels a little surprised.

Fusang glanced at Jiu Niang, reached out and patted Meng Youcai's shoulder, and asked, "What do your classmates like to play on weekdays?" ”

"Fighting crickets." Meng Youcai replied without thinking about it this time, "It's still in that kind of extravagant little cage, Brother Fusang, do you say that the sons and daughters of Yecheng are so rich?" ”

Jiuniang frowned and glared at Meng Youcai: "What kind of fighting crickets, you don't study hard, what are you going to do if you go to manage other people's fighting crickets!" ”

Meng Youcai was a little aggrieved: "It's not what I want to see, people have to pull me when they fight crickets, and ask me if I have them." Who are they all going to be victorious generals or stuff like that, but I don't have any. Although those boys didn't laugh at me, the way they looked at me was ...... Just ......"

Meng Youcai didn't go on, but Jiu Niang also understood a little in her heart.

In the eyes of those eunuchs in Yecheng, Meng Youcai is a hillbilly. Where did those people really play with Meng Youcai, just to see Meng Youcai make a fool of himself.

Sighing, Jiu Niang softened her voice: "Then why don't you go and catch a cricket?" ”

"I'm afraid that the second sister will be angry." Meng Youcai replied, looking at Jiu Niang's sincerity.

Jiu Niang was stunned for a moment and turned her back suddenly. Jiang Nu followed and looked at Jiu Niang, and asked softly, "Senior sister, are you okay?" ”

Jiuniang shook her head and glanced at Gu Huacheng.

Gu Huacheng nodded and patted Meng Youcai: "You hurry up and eat, go and rest after eating, Jiuniang will go out as a teacher." ”

"Hmm."

"What about us?" Jiang Nu pointed at herself and Fusang, and she really wanted to follow Gu Huacheng and them together, not because she wanted to be a light bulb, but because she didn't want to share the table with Mengu Ouchen. Although today's Jiuniang's attitude towards Meng Youcai has changed dramatically, in Jiang Nu's heart, none of the people in the Meng family are sincerely good to Jiuniang. Therefore, she saw that Meng Youcai was actually similar to Meng Chuntao, but it was just a means.

It's just that Meng Youcai is just a ten-year-old child in the end, no matter how smart he is, Jiu Niang also thinks that Meng Youcai's flowery intestines should be exhausted.

Meng Youcai is just a force, but she just wants to live in a big place and doesn't want to go back to that small mountain village, and she can still accept it. If Meng Youcai is really talented and talented, he will be buried in Xiahe Village, and with a life mentor like Sangouzi, I am afraid that no matter how good the seedlings are, they can be completely destroyed.

Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiang Nu, but asked Fusang: "Do you want to follow too?" ”

Fusang looked at Jiang Nu and then at Meng Youcai, gritted his teeth and nodded.

So, only Meng Youcai was left at the dinner table to work hard, and the four masters and apprentices all went out.

As soon as he went out, Fusang asked, "What are we going to do?" ”

"I don't know why you're going out with you?" Gu Huacheng raised his eyebrows.

Fusang smiled wryly: "You all came out, and if I don't come out, doesn't it seem that I am very ignorant?" ”

"It's as if you're sensible when you come out." Jiuniang pursed her lips and looked at Gu Huacheng, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Gu Huacheng shrugged his shoulders and winked at Jiu Niang a little innocently: "Actually, I don't know, I'm just bored watching you in the house, so it's better to come out and take a walk." As he spoke, Gu Huacheng pointed at Jiang Nu and Fusang again, "As for why these two also came out, it's really not something I can control." ”

Jiuniang twitched the corner of her mouth, "I thought you were going to come out to catch crickets for Meng Youcai." ”

"Eh, senior sister, I like it!" Jiang Nu couldn't help but jump.

Jiuniang glanced at her: "What kind of crickets are you playing with?" ”

"Senior sister, you can't say that. Those rich children who have wives and still play with crickets, and there are also ......" Jiang Nu shouted as if she was unwilling.

Jiuniang covered her face, feeling a little embarrassed to stand with Jiang Nu, and wanted to pretend that she didn't know her.

Jiang Nu didn't seem to see Jiu Niang's intentions at all, wrapped her arms around Jiu Niang's arm very intimately, and asked with a smile: "Senior sister, senior sister, why do you suddenly feel better about Meng Youcai?" ”

Jiuniang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, shook her head and smiled: "It's not that I got better all of a sudden, but I don't feel that I have the interest to fight for a breath." You have also seen the events of the past few days, and in Meng Youcai's heart, he may also feel that having such a pair of fathers and mothers is actually a very helpless thing. Actually, I think he envies me. ”

Gu Huacheng glanced at Jiu Niang coldly, and even Fusang, who had been looking around, turned his head and looked at Jiu Niang's expression, with some inquiry.

Jiu Niang looked at the expressions of these people, and was a little sneering: "I'm just saying what I think, are you concerned?" ”

"How?" Gu Huacheng clasped his hands and looked at Jiu Niang with interest.

Jiuniang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Why do you think Meng Youcai envies you?"

Jiu Niang: "Oh, this, I just think that Meng Youcai also hopes to leave Xiahe Village." It's just that he is different from me, he wants to leave, just to save face, and I want to survive. But now I got what I wanted, he had the love of Meng Daniu and Cao's at home, but he couldn't escape. So I think he envies me. ”

"Just because you're in Yecheng, your identity documents have become Yecheng people?" Gu Huacheng frowned.

Jiuniang thought about it, and seemed to have a feeling of hukou migration, but it seemed that she really had to explain it like this.

After thinking about it, Jiu Niang nodded: "Well, it's because of this." ”

"Huh." Gu Huacheng chuckled, making people unable to guess what Gu Huacheng was thinking at this moment.

Turning the corner of the street, Jiu Niang just wanted to ask something, but saw Gu Huacheng's expression was grim, and he strode towards the opposite side. (To be continued......)
