Chapter 121: Brothers missed

Speaking of Lin Sheng, Qiu Chen's smile stiffened slightly, and then he nodded and said, "Well, however, I think if your eldest brother had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely be happier to see that we were all doing well...... Seeing that you have succeeded in your studies, and seeing Afu Aman grow up healthy and happy...... He should be relieved. ”

After speaking, he smiled warmly at Lin Xu, patted his arm and said, "Okay, tell me why you didn't come back for two nights, right?" Is there something wrong with the overseer's vessels? ”

As soon as he asked this, Lin Xu's face couldn't help but turn red. When he left home, his sister-in-law repeatedly explained to him those text descriptions and diagrams, and he also realized that he understood them thoroughly, but if something really went wrong, he was still anxious and couldn't find a solution.

After two snorts, Lin Xu finally nodded and acknowledged. seemed to nod his head and admit his shortcomings and mistakes, seeing that Qiu Chen was still looking at him with a smile and encouragement, the initial fear of being reprimanded by his sister-in-law was dissipated, and Lin Xu was also like a person who had lost his way and found a signpost all of a sudden, and he impatiently told Qiu Chen about the problems he encountered, and said what methods they had used to improve them for many days, but they didn't work......

Qiu Chen listened silently, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a faint encouragement in his eyes, without the slightest impatience and ridicule...... This made Lin Xu unconsciously relieve the tension in his heart, and he said in more and more detail, and after talking about the worst, Lin Xu sighed with a broken face: "But my brother and a few craftsmen have changed it dozens of times, and he has broken his head, but he has not been able to solve the problem...... Sister-in-law, you must know what to do, right? ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head, and Lin Xu suddenly had a look of disappointment on his face: "Why don't you even know what your sister-in-law does?" Why isn't that one of our families so troublesome...... I remember that my sister-in-law came back with a custom order, and it was packed up for the first time. ”

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "The same thing, there are times when it changes. You've said a lot, but I've only heard about it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I'm not sure if there's a way to solve it. Okay, don't be sad, you don't look at you and you're all boiled into rabbit eyes. It's useless to get on fire in such a hurry, hurry up and go to sleep......"

Lin Xu wanted to say something, so he heard Qiu Chen say again: "I've been on the road for a few days in a row, I'm tired if you're not tired...... It's done, you go to sleep quickly, I'll go with you tomorrow morning to have a look, maybe I'll find a solution! ”

Hearing Qiu Chen talk about the hardships of the journey, Lin Xu blushed all of a sudden, and secretly said ashamed, how could he forget the hardships of his sister-in-law's journey. After that, hearing Qiu Chen promise him to go and see it early tomorrow morning, Lin Xu inexplicably felt that he had a backbone, as if he had seen Qiu Chen easily solve the problem, he responded with a smile, said goodbye to Qiu Chen, and went back to his tent.

These days, Qiu Chen has been on the road, and her emotions are always in a kind of anxiety because of Junshu's injury and worry about Lin Xu, but now, Junshu's condition has stabilized, and seeing Lin Xu is good again, the worries and anxieties in her heart are put down, and she lies in the simple tent at night, and actually sleeps very sweetly. also had a dream, she took Lin Xu, Yang Shu Mengjun Shuchengzi back home together, Ah Fu Aman ran over with a cry and threw himself into her arms.

The dream is a sweet dream, and he slept sweetly and heartily, and when Qiu Chen opened his eyes early the next morning, except for the pain in his legs that had not healed because of the horseback riding, the whole person seemed to be extremely refreshed.

When Qiu Chen walked out of the tent, he saw that in the gaps of the tents, the golden sun just jumped out of the eastern horizon, making the entire grassland bright all of a sudden!

After taking a few deep breaths, Qiu Chen stretched his arms and stretched his stiff waist, and heard Lin Xu's joyful voice from behind him: "Sister-in-law, morning!" ”

Qiu Chen turned around with a smile, and saw Lin Xu walking over from the other side, followed by Chengzi and the veteran with dishes and chopsticks in their hands, obviously going to get breakfast.

"Second brother early! Uncle, Chengzi, you are early! Qiu Chen greeted everyone with a smile, and then asked, "Is breakfast here so early?" ”

Lin Xu and Chengzi couldn't answer this question, and the veteran immediately smiled and accosted, "It's not too early. If you go on an expedition, you can eat breakfast in the middle of the night! ”

In ancient times, it was important to be a ghost and not a starving ghost.

Even death row prisoners will be given a relatively hearty meal of severed heads before they die. Although the meal before the expedition cannot be called a decapitated meal, in fact, many people will never come back every time they go out. Even, it is normal for the whole army to be wiped out and more than half of the dead and wounded, and this expedition meal is to a large extent the same as a severed head meal. In addition, if you have enough food before going out, you will have more strength to fight on the battlefield!

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Qiu Chen smiled and set up breakfast with a few people, ate with Lin Xu, and handed over the matter of returning the dishes and chopsticks to the veteran, and she and Lin Xu took Chengzi and went to the Houying Craftsman's Workshop together to see the distillation equipment that went wrong!

When he arrived at the craftsman's workshop, Qiu Chen carefully inspected the finished distillation vessels one by one, and asked the craftsmen to assemble them in order...... Then, Qiu Chen came to his senses!

No wonder they can't find the crux of the problem, just because the crux is not a problem at all under today's process conditions. Just think about it, in this situation where even the weights and measures are not unified, and the smallest unit of measurement is only to the minute, it is not easy for these craftsmen to build the utensils and assemble them together fitly, without finding the gaps visible to the naked eye! It is precisely because of this that Qiu Chen secretly sighed that she was really lucky to create a completely suitable distillation equipment with no dripping at one time!

The problem is actually very simple, people who have changed the faucet by hand know that when installing the faucet on the water pipe, you need to wrap some sealing tape in the screw part, so as to prevent dripping caused by poor sealing. The distillery here is not precise enough, just like the faucet used in the day.

Qiu Chen unscrewed the screws with the drip problem, tore his handkerchief into thin strips to act as a sealing tape, and then connected them as before, and tried again...... That's it!

Those craftsmen were all surprised and happy, and they disassembled and re-examined the study, and then they also showed their sudden expressions.

"That's how easy it is!" An old craftsman sighed.

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, just like the wine jar where we make wine should be sealed with mud, when steaming steamed buns, it is a reason to cover the gap in the cage drawer with a wet rag." Add a little strip of cloth, just enough to plug the subtle gaps, and naturally there will be no leakage...... Oh, by the way, there was nothing just now, I used a handkerchief to tear it into strips of cloth, in fact, it would be better to wrap it with cotton thread! ”

The craftsmen listened, pondered, and nodded their heads.

Among these people, if you say that Lin Xu is the most happy.

Compared with the craftsmen's thinking and exploration of the process, Lin Xu is much simpler, he has no heart to study the improvement and principle of the process, his requirements are the simplest and purest, as long as the problem is solved, the only and biggest heart disease in his heart will be removed immediately, yes, at this time, Lin Xu doesn't care about other people, just look at the equipment in the hands of the craftsmen, grinning very stupid!

The problem with the equipment was solved, and the craftsmen were excited to set it up and start steaming it for the first time.

In terms of steaming wine, not to mention Lin Xu, even Qiu Chen is afraid that the research of some process details is not as good as Chengzi. So, Qiu Chen introduced Chengzi to several craftsmen and asked him to take everyone to start steaming.

Lin Xu recovered from the joyful smirk, and immediately jumped up and ran out: "Sister-in-law, you are here, I'll go and talk to Brother Qin Yi...... Hehe, I haven't found a solution these days, and Brother Qin Yi is also in a hurry! ”

As he spoke, he had already run out of the craftsman's workshop and was familiar with the Chinese army camp.

After solving the problem that had plagued him for many days, Lin Xu was very happy, and he hurriedly ran to report the good news to Brother Qin Yi, but he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all, and he didn't notice that not far from the craftsman's workshop, there happened to be a team of soldiers in the whole team, looking like they were ready to go.

Hu Yanxun got up in the morning, and sent a message to the Chinese army to ask if there was another military order, but the words that came back made him quite disappointed, the war was about to end, there was no need to stay longer, and ordered him to lead the team to return to Ling Shanwei immediately.

Although he was a little disappointed, Hu Yanxun did not dare to delay the military order, and when he received the word back, he immediately prepared to set off. Just as he stepped on the war horse, he suddenly heard the cheerful voice of a young man, and the other words were not enough, the title of 'sister-in-law', in the barracks where there were almost no women, but it was extremely special, and it inevitably attracted Hu Yanxun's attention.

He followed the voice and looked over, and saw a young man in a blue shirt running in the direction of the Chinese army while talking, and the young man happened to turn his face sideways because he was talking to the 'sister-in-law' behind him, so that Hu Yanxun could clearly see the young man's face! The eyebrows, the face, the facial features...... Let Huyanxun be struck by lightning, and suddenly ossified on the back of the horse.

The young man seemed to be in a hurry to run to the Chinese army to do something, and shouted as he ran, so he hurriedly ran away, yes, Hu Yanxun just glanced at the young man's appearance!

Although it was only a glance, although the appearance of this young man had changed a little from his impression, and his expression was also a little different...... However, after Hu Yanxun glanced at it, he immediately recognized that the young man who suddenly appeared in the back camp of the army was none other than his younger brother who had been thinking about him for the past two years-Lin Xu!

Without the slightest doubt, without a moment of hesitation! He can tell!

After being rigid for a moment, Hu Yan came to his senses, but when he saw Lin Xu's figure again, he had already run away, and in the blink of an eye, he bypassed a wall and disappeared from his sight!

Blinking his eyes, Hu Yanxun had all kinds of doubts and incomprehensions in his heart after the initial surprise.

Just now, he was sure that he had heard it correctly, Lin Xu was called--'sister-in-law'!

Lin Xu has only one sister-in-law, and that is his Lin Sheng's wife Yang Haitang. In other words, Yang Haitang was also in the barracks, in the tent that Lin Xu ran out of just now.

From this, Hu Yanxun immediately thought of the 'Qiu Chen' who came with him, the person he had been puzzled but not sure about...... I saw that her appearance was similar to Begonia, but her expression, manners, and speech were very different, which made him wonder all the way and was not sure. Now, seeing Lin Xu appear in the barracks again, as well as his 'sister-in-law', Hu Yanxun immediately thought that that 'Qiu Chen' was Yang Haitang, as for why she pretended not to know herself, he couldn't guess it for a while, but he couldn't help but feel angry.

The woman stayed at home uneasy, raising her children, and providing for her uncle's schooling, but she came all the way to this barracks......

Doesn't she know that Lin Xu wants to study and become a scholar?

Could it be that he just hasn't returned home for two years, and she can't keep it and is not in the room?

There is also a child, the woman took Lin Xu to the military camp outside the gate, where is the child? Lost to whom? Or rather...... Already dead?

"Baihu, the whole team of sergeants has been completed, isn't it time to set off?" Han Liu and a few other small flags finished the whole team, but they didn't see the hundred households giving the order to set off, and they were all a little puzzled, and one of them was older, so he took the initiative to ask.

Hu Yanxun's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the tent that couldn't see any movement, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

Urging the war horse, he slowly walked out of the back camp, and after meeting the grain transportation team of Qian Dayou, they went towards the gate of the barracks together. Hu Yanxun glanced back again, and the back camp was getting farther and farther away, his face was gloomy, as if there would be a storm of lightning and thunder immediately.

Now that he had an order to catch the woman and question her, he could only suppress these doubts and the anger that arose from them in his heart.

However, he believed that soon, he would be able to see the woman again, and he would be able to question her personally...... Hmph, it's just an illiterate peasant woman, and I saw her beautiful appearance and gentle temperament before, so I married her...... If, as he had suspected, the woman was restless and disobeyed her husband, then he had nothing to regret.

From this, he couldn't help but think of what his father said...... If he was sure that the woman was not in the room and did not obey her husband's orders, then he would not have to hesitate any longer.

Hu Yanxun weighed and discussed in his heart, led the team out of the army camp, accelerated his speed, and gradually walked away. Qiu Chen and Lin Xu didn't know what to do, the person who was close to them, the person Lin Xu was still missing last night, not only did not die, but was once close in front of them, but they didn't know each other, and they didn't see the other, so they mistakenly went to the past.

After the distillation equipment found out the crux of the problem and easily corrected it, and then steamed the wine, and Chengzi's words and deeds, as well as Qiu Chen's careful demonstration of the alcohol concentration measurement method, it only took two days for the first batch of distilled alcohol to be made and sent to Qin Zheng's Chinese army tent.

At this time, not only Qin Zheng in the big tent, but also Hong Zhanpeng, Tang Wenyong, and Qin Yi and Qin Li, who sent alcohol, all gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

These people all came to the army with Qin Zheng from the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to call them Qin Zheng's descendants.

Hong Zhanpeng took a cup, poured a little bit out of the wine jar, sniffed it at the end of his nose, and then, after a small sip, the wine entered his throat, which was like a line of fire burning down, instantly making the whole stomach and abdomen hot.

"Shhh...... That's a lot of energy! Hong Zhanpeng took a breath, then sighed with a grin, and said, "This wine is too rushing, if you slow down a little longer, take out the wine and sell it, it will definitely be very popular!" ”

Qin Zheng glanced at him coldly, Hong Zhanpeng immediately showed a simple smile, handed the wine glass to Tang Wenyong, who had been frowning and not saying a word, and said with a smile: "You can taste it too!" ”

Tang Wenyong was forced to stuff a wine glass, but he didn't have the slightest intention of tasting it, but held it far away, very disgusted.

Qin Zheng said lightly at this time: "In the future, this matter of steaming wine will inevitably be under your jurisdiction, you can taste it, and you can taste it in the future!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Hong Zhanpeng immediately laughed, Tang Wenyong still frowned with a look of disgust, looked up at Qin Zheng, and finally endured the awkwardness, and also took a small sip......

In the entrance of the liquor, although the spicy fire was burning, Tang Wenyong's face did not change, he lowered his eyes and tasted it for a moment, then nodded at Qin Zheng, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, took a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth several times before giving up.

"I said the third child, you just sip so little, can you taste it in the future? But that person said that too much strength and too light will not have the effect of cleaning the wound and avoiding the rout! Seeing him like this, Hong Zhanpeng couldn't help but tease with words.

Tang Wenyong's face was ugly, he glared at him, and said, "I can't do it, why don't you let the eldest brother hand over the matter of steaming wine to you?" ”

"Uh, forget it......" Hong Zhanpeng was choked and fell to his back, waving his hand again and again, "I will fight, I can't do these things, you should come!" ”

Seeing that Hong Zhanpeng and Tang Wenyong exchanged words, what they said seemed to be quite lively, but Qin Zheng knew that the two of them came to his big tent together, but they didn't just come to see what alcohol. They came over, hoping to get their hands on the recipe for the powerful murder weapon as soon as possible.

If it is, it concerns other people, Qin Zheng fully believes that these two people, whether it is Hong Zhanpeng, who seems rude and straightforward, or Tang Wenyong, who is gentle and elegant, is afraid that they will have already taken action to get the prescription. But this matter was confirmed to be from the hand of that Lin Niangzi, and they were afraid of him, so they rushed over, just hoping that he would come up with a charter on this matter as soon as possible.

To be honest, Qin Zheng also admitted that he himself was extremely moved when he heard Hong Zhanpeng say it.

It can blow out a hole a few feet square in the hard rock, and can blow up horses and soldiers, and blow up hands and feet...... With such a huge lethality, it will have a fatal temptation for any person in the military.

Those who have been on the battlefield, those who have seen real flesh-and-blood battles, there is no one who does not want to kill the enemy without losing his own soldiers.

If you can really get the mysterious object that Hong Zhanpeng said, this seemingly absurd idea is not impossible to realize! Just imagine, without waiting for the enemy to rush to the front, you can use a mysterious weapon that is several times more lethal than a bow and arrow to blow up the local people and horses into pieces and scum, which will not damage your own soldiers, or greatly reduce your own casualties, it is completely possible!

Hong Zhanpeng and Tang Wenyong exchanged words, and they both fell silent, and for a while, although there were a few people sitting in the huge Chinese army tent, they were quiet and did not hear any sound.

After a long time, there was still no one to speak, Tang Wenyong finally got impatient, patted his forehead, looked up and said to Qin Zheng: "Big brother, if you don't want to talk about this matter, just leave it to me!" ”

Anyway, he didn't have any affection for the woman. It's up to him to say that there is nothing in his heart that he can't get over!

Hong Zhanpeng didn't interject, only looked up at Qin Zheng, who was getting started.

Qin Zheng's face was still indifferent, and he couldn't see anything. Sensing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Qin Zheng also raised his eyes, swept over Tang Wenyong and Hong Zhanpeng, and said, "Third brother, let's prepare for the steaming of wine first." ”

The implication is that he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

"Well, let's retire for the time being!" Tang Wenyong actually didn't want to face that woman, and when he heard that Qin Zheng didn't need to care about him, he got up and retired unequivocally, and turned around and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.

Hong Zhanpeng's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally couldn't help but stand up, took two steps in front of Qin Zheng, and lowered his voice slightly: "Big brother, it is reported that the remnants of the Rong people are gathering in Yinshan, if we have that thing, we can finish the battle and forever incorporate the land of the Rong people into the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and in the future, the border people will no longer have to suffer from the chaos every year......

Qin Zheng nodded, raised his eyes and looked at Hong Zhanpeng: "I understand what the second brother said. This matter will soon be settled. ”

Hong Zhanpeng grinned, hugged his fists at Qin Zheng and saluted: "Then the war drum horn that will be waiting for the battle will sound!" ”

×××××××××××

Two days have passed quickly since he entered the barracks, and Qiu Chen has been quietly staying in his tent in the corner of the Chinese military camp, except for a trip to the Houying craftsman's workshop early yesterday morning.

She was waiting, waiting for the alcohol to be steamed, and then she had a legitimate reason to face Qin Zheng and ask to take Lin Xu home.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law......" Lin Xu rushed in with a happy face, and as soon as he entered the tent, he held the wine jar in his hand in front of Qiu Chen to offer treasure, "Sister-in-law, look, the alcohol is steamed!" ”

The distillation equipment was ready, and the distillation of alcohol was just a matter of one day earlier and one day later, and Qiu Chen was not surprised at all. But he still smiled and put down the book in his hand that he hadn't read much, took the jar from Lin Xu's hand, opened the stopper on the jar, sniffed it, took his own teacup and poured a little bit, took a little bit and tasted it, then looked up at Lin Xu and Chengzi who followed up, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, the concentration is very good!"

With the approval of his sister-in-law, the smile on Lin Xu's face became even brighter, he turned his head and looked at Chengzi, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, when the general ordered Brother Qin Yi to bring me to the military camp, he said that I would supervise the production of wine steaming utensils and teach me how to steam wine. Now, although it was completed by the sister-in-law and Chengzi who came to help, the alcohol was steamed out after all, and we can also go to the general to return to our lives! Then, we can go home, hehe, I've been away from home for almost two months, and I really miss Fu'er Man'er ......"

Looking at the young man with a bright smile on his face, listening to his thoughts about home, Qiu Chen couldn't bear to say anything to hit the young man's joy, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

If he only supervised the production of wine steaming utensils, if he only needed the wine steaming technique, why did the dignified general of the Great Northern of the town bring Lin Xu to the barracks. Whether it's making wine steaming utensils or teaching wine steaming techniques, it's best to be in a stable environment in Huairong!

That's it, let Lin Xu and Chengzi rejoice, if there is anything, she will follow.

Nodding with a smile, Qiu Chen said, "Yes, we will be able to go home soon!" ”

This sentence is not only to comfort Lin Xu, but also Qiu Chen's request for himself.

No matter what the general of Zhenbei wanted, she was confident that she would take Lin Xu and Chengzi home as soon as possible.

From then on, she must learn the lesson of this time, make medicines, make soaps, and do business at home with peace of mind, and dare not venture into these treacherous people and things.

"Then, sister-in-law, let's go to the main tent to see General Qin, right?"

He had been struggling to find the crux of the wine steaming vessel before, and even if Lin Xu was homesick, it was just a flash. Now that the alcohol has been steamed out and the general's request has been completed, Lin Xu's desire to go home has suddenly become very strong.

This is just like the modern people who work away from their families, often complaining that it is difficult to go home for the Spring Festival and that the New Year is boring, but when the Spring Festival and holidays are approaching, they will still participate in the ranks of booking tickets and rushing to the bus, and embark on the road home for the New Year.

Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu with a bright smile on his face and mentioned going home, his eyes were full of joy, he was really a little unbearable, he couldn't bear to tell the truth, and was trying to find some excuse to appease Lin Xu, let him calm down for a while, and wait for her to negotiate......

I heard the voice of the old sergeant at the door: "Little Brother Lin, Qin Yi and Qin Baihu are here!" ”

When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately happily greeted the tent door, and said to Qin Yi who was standing outside the tent: "Brother Qin Yi, please come in!" ”

Qin Yi had no intention of entering the account, so he only said to Lin Xu: "No need, I came to deliver a message to the general, the general will set off tomorrow and go to Mozhigan Lake to hunt, and invite the Lin Xu brothers and Lin Niangzi to participate together!" ”

Qiu Chen's heart jumped when he heard it in the tent, and he was about to go out to refuse, but he heard that Lin Xu had happily agreed: "Hunting? It's great that I haven't been on a hunt yet! Brother Qin Yi, will you go too? ”

This child seems to be much calmer, but he is still too pure and simple, and he does not understand the sinister world and the darkness of the human heart. Seeing that people are good to him, he gives his trust with all his body and mind!

Although Zhilu said that she was too naïve, she really didn't want to wipe out this rare purity and simplicity with her own hands, what she could do at this time was to pray secretly in her heart, hoping that these people would not live up to the full trust of such a pure and simple young man!

"Yes, I will follow the general. At that time, you will be with me, and I will take you to hunt roe deer and foxes...... It's just that the weather is still hot this season, and the fox's fur has not yet changed its fur, and the fur is not the best time. Qin Yi obviously also likes the activity of hunting, and when he talks about this topic, he has changed his usual clumsy words and become a long talk.

"Hehe, that's a good feeling...... Brother Qin Yi, I'm not very good at riding a horse...... Oh, my sister-in-law rides a horse very well......" Lin Xu completely regarded the other party as his brother and trusted and treated, and when he spoke, he hardly had the slightest sense of defense.

Listening to what Lin Xu said farther and farther, Qiu Chen secretly smiled bitterly, got up and walked out of the tent.
