When Zhou Qichen left, Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda with a smile, Zhou Qichen came suddenly today, and it was not Xu Wenda's rest day, Tong Xue thought that Xu Wenda would not come back, "The matter in your yamen has been dealt with." ”

Xu Wenda thought of the stacks of official documents from all over the country in the yamen, all waiting for his approval, and he had a headache.

Although he said that because of the last incident, he temporarily set up WeChat, but it was only temporary, and as the days went by, it would return to normal, so Xu Wenda had to take advantage of this time to quickly turn these temporary transferred powers into real powers.

Therefore, Xu Wenda has been very busy these days, but he doesn't have to go out every day, he is in the yamen every day, and he will come back to eat with Tong Xue when the time comes, so he seems to be idle.

Tong Xue saw Xu Wenda's current situation, and thought the same in her heart.

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue and smiled brightly, although he was too busy to be a dog, he still said very unwillingly, "I haven't had anything to do recently, I'm relatively idle, I heard that Zhou Qichen is here, so I'll come back first." ”

Hearing Xu Wenda say that it was okay, Tong Xue was relieved, she was a little worried that she had delayed Xu Wenda's official business because of her own affairs. "That's good. Zhou Gongzi is more bold and generous than I imagined, and I am worried that he will bite on profits. After all, apart from the Zhou family, we really can't find a better partner to work with. ”

"The Zhou family is also suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is especially necessary to inject some fresh things." Compared with Tong Xue, who only knew that the Zhou family was a powerful imperial businessman, Xu Wenda obviously knew more about the Zhou family, and now the situation of the Zhou family requires the wine brewed by Tong Xue, "Zhou Qichen is a visionary, your wine is very good." ”

"That's nature." Tong Xue was praised, very happy, and not modest to say a few words, and directly admitted it, "The wine I brew is naturally unusual." ”

Xu Wenda curled up and pointed at Tong Xue's forehead. "You're not modest."

"Others praise naturally to be humble, but if you praise, I am happy in my heart, so why pretend. I don't care how I look. Tong Xue said with a smile, there is wine brewed every day in the past few days, and it has to be distilled every day, and the equipment at home is not enough, "But there is more wine at home." The distillation equipment is a little inadequate. I've already found a craftsman to order it, and it will take a few days to deliver it. ”

Xu Wenda's face changed slightly when he heard it, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Tong Xue didn't understand why Xu Wenda's face changed all of a sudden, she looked at Xu Wenda very curiously, and then began to explain, "Some time ago, seeing that you were so busy, where could I care about talking to you, I just asked someone to decide, is there anything wrong?" ”

Xu Wenda frowned. felt that Tong Xue had done this thing a little hastily, "This thing is the secret of your liquor making, you just ran to find someone to customize it like this, wouldn't it be that you put your own money-making things under the noses of others." ”

Hearing Xu Wenda say this, Tong Xue also began to be a little worried, Xu Wenda, a crow's mouth, shouldn't his words come true, "That can't be, the craftsman doesn't know what I'm using it for." How would others know. ”

Tong Xue didn't think that only she could do distilled liquor, after all, this thing didn't belong to her in the first place, she also borrowed from others, and distilled liquor was the result of the development of liquor. Even if she hadn't come up with this device, sooner or later, someone would have made it.

Tong Xue felt that she had not used this to earn the first pot of gold, and if someone else quit the distilled liquor first, she would really cry and faint in the toilet.

Xu Wenda thought that it was more complicated than Tong Xue. "The artisans may not know, but they know that you can make wine."

"The only one who knows that I can make wine is the Zhou family." Tong Xue stared at Xu Wenda with wide eyes, her eyes full of disbelief, "You mean, they will secretly investigate and track me?" I also think that I have been working well with each other before, so this time I am very relieved. ”

"As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable." Xu Wenda patted the top of Tong Xue's head comfortingly, "Don't think too much, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

"Then it's better to give it directly to Zhou Gongzi, just as he is willing to give me the profit, so I gave the lottery." Tong Xue mastered the core technology of koji, and always felt that it was because of this that today's cooperation became smooth, and after hesitating, he said, "If it was left before I succeeded in brewing wine, I would definitely not think so, but now, I think it is very likely that Zhou Gongzi is willing to make profits, not because of the mellowness of this wine, but because of the better quality of this wine itself." ”

Xu Wenda nodded, trying to make himself smile very gently, "I don't rule out this possibility, you say it is also very good." However, after the cooperation is stable, it is not too late to give it, and the sweetness still can't be given too early. ”

"Hmm." Tong Xue nodded, anyway, this is only the early stage of cooperation, the terms of cooperation are relatively simple, as for how far they can cooperate in the future, it will take time to prove.

Since it is something that takes time to prove, Tong Xue naturally doesn't think about it, and the corner of her eye looks at the wine jar where she asked Jade to pour wine for Zhou Qichen just now, and a red paper was pasted on it, with a number written on it, which was to distinguish it at that time.

There was nothing but these, Tong Xue's heart moved, "Xianggong, what do you say I should name our wine?" ”

Xu Wenda didn't directly help Tong Xue choose a name, but asked, "Then it depends on what name you want to be called Madame?" ”

Tong Xue shook her head, before the wine was made, she didn't even know what the wine tasted like in the end, where was the time to think about naming the wine, "I really haven't thought about it, just take a catchy, easy-to-remember, and unconventional one, Xianggong is good, Xianggong will help me get one." ”

She thought about it now, and she happened to think of it today, so she asked.

Of course, at this moment, Tong Xue's heart also floated through many names that she had heard before, but it seemed that every time she borrowed it, she felt that it was not quite the right way.

Xu Wenda listened to Tong Xue's request, and said with a smile, "Madame's request is not difficult or difficult, but it is difficult, it is difficult, elegant but not vulgar, and it must be catchy, how to take this, give your husband some time to think about it." ”

"Okay." Tong Xue thought about it and smiled. But I thought it would be a moment of effort, and soon, Tong Xue still focused on Xu Wenda, "Since I came back early today." It's better to wait until after lunch before going to the yamen. ”

Xu Wenda rejected Tong Xue's hospitality, looking at this time to go back, he could still read two more official documents, "No, although I don't have many things." But after all, it's a new official taking office, and it's still not good for people to see that I'm not in my position for a long time, so I'll change my clothes and go back to the yamen first, wait a minute, and come back when I eat, anyway, it's such a short road, and it's a quick trip back and forth. ”

Tong Xue looked at the clothes on Xu Wenda's body, "Since you have to return it, why did you take it off when you came back just now." ”

"Isn't it about business? It's not appropriate to dress up in a government office to negotiate business with a businessman. Xu Wenda returned to the room while talking, quickly changed into his official robe, and walked away steadily under the gaze of Tong Xue.

Looking at his back, Tong Xue smiled, didn't she say that she wasn't busy, it didn't look like she was idle.

In fact, Xu Wenda's expectation was not wrong at all, Tong Xue's distillation equipment did have an identical set in front of Zhou Qichen. Shopkeeper Liu fiddled with this thing that he couldn't understand at all, and it looked very strange, and he didn't know what the owner wanted this thing for, "The owner." This is what Mrs. Xu went to the store to create. ”

Zhou Qichen glanced at it, and his appearance was a little weird, but Tong Xue would do this kind of thing, naturally it was not unreasonable.

Originally, Zhou Qichen disdained to do this kind of thing of following others and digging up other people's secrets, but this time the wine is really important. That's why he had to pay a little more attention, Zhou Qichen felt that he could buy this kind of liquor from the Xu family, but he couldn't be completely controlled by others, "How to use this thing, understand?" ”

Liu Qingfu felt that his forehead had begun to sweat, and he was really a little nervous to report this kind of thing directly to the owner, and he didn't understand this question, so he was even more nervous, "I don't know, I asked the master in the shop, and he just did it, and he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to use it." ”

Liu Qingfu looked at Zhou Qichen with some apprehension, and was worried that Zhou Qichen would say something scolding, but he saw Zhou Qichen looking at that strange thing for a long time, so he asked tentatively, "Dongjia, according to you, what is this thing for?" ”

Zhou Qichen touched his chin and said his guess, "Make wine." ”

"This thing makes wine?" Liu Qingfu felt that he was much more professional than the owner in this regard, but of course he couldn't say it, so he could only remind him euphemistically, "The owner, you're kidding, although I don't know how to brew myself, but I have opened a restaurant for many years, and I still know a little about winemaking." How could it be that this weird thing was brewed. ”

Who knew that Zhou Qichen didn't raise his head, his eyes kept glued to the device, and after a while, he said, "I'm not talking about the first wine that came out at the beginning, but the processed spirits." ”

Of course, this point is what Tong Xue provided today made Zhou Qichen think of the two drinks, mainly because there are too many similarities between the two wines, Zhou Qichen said while reminiscing about the taste he drank today, "The wine provided by the Xu family has a similar taste and aroma, but the strong Cheng dù in the middle is much different, I think Mrs. Xu should reprocess the ordinary wine." ”

Then he pointed to the distillation equipment, and Zhou Qichen said, "And the thing you use is the thing in your hand." ”

Shopkeeper Liu now believes a little, mainly because he thinks that he has heard too many deeds of this young owner, so for this owner, Liu Qingfu has a kind of blind worship and trust, and it is precisely because of this that he will hear Zhou Qichen say so few words, so he believes this word.

If it were another person, Liu Qingfu might have blown people away a long time ago.

However, accepting this setting does not mean that he is not curious, so Shopkeeper Liu, who couldn't hold back his curiosity, asked, "Then how to use this thing?" ”

Zhou Qichen rubbed the corners of his forehead, it seemed that he had been staring at things for too long just now, and he was a little tired, Zhou Qichen waved his hand and motioned for Liu Qingfu to go out, "How to use this thing, you take it down and think about it, if this kind of thing is all for me to think about, what use do I want you to do?" ”

Although Zhou Qichen only used a very normal tone, Liu Qingfu still heard the sense of oppression from inside, and immediately picked up his things and was about to leave.

But before walking out of the door, Shopkeeper Liu finally couldn't help but finally asked, "Dongjia, if we study the use of this thing, do we still have to cooperate with the Xu family?" ”

Zhou Qichen nodded, "Of course, the contracts have already been signed, and if you don't cooperate with the Xu family, this kind of treacherous thing is not done by a serious businessman." The Xu family's wine is indeed very good, and it can be sold at a good price. ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he was relieved, he was worried that it would affect the cooperation between the two families because of this thing, which was a rare opportunity for the Xu family.

It would be a shame if you missed it.

It's just that Shopkeeper Liu, who had left with confidence, didn't hear him leave, Zhou Qichen opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and then said slowly, "But whether we can cooperate for a long time depends on whether the Xu family can come up with something that satisfies me in a few days." I really look forward to the good sake. ”

If Tong Xue had said this to Zhou Qichen before today, Zhou Qichen would definitely not believe it, but now, after drinking the wine brewed by Tong Xue, he began to believe it a little.

However, to this day, Zhou Qichen is still very puzzled, how can an elder woman in the village be so powerful? But thinking about Xu Wenda, who also grew up in the countryside, a person who didn't go to school much, defeated many people, and became a new scholar, it sounds quite unreasonable, thinking about it like this, it seems that Tong Xue is not so disobedient, the two of them stand together, there is a feeling, it seems that it should be like this, this is probably not a family, not a family.

Liu Qingfu took the distillation equipment and went to find someone to study this thing, this is the first time he has been assigned a task by the owner since he was transferred, and he must complete it.

As for how to complete it, he was originally given such an iron bump, and he really had a black eye, and he didn't know what to do, but now it's different, and the owner gave a hint.

This thing is used to process alcohol, so it narrows down a lot.

Liu Qingfu felt that with this hint, he would definitely be able to make the most dazzling results in the shortest possible time to show the owner. (To be continued.) )
