The day of the garden party has not yet arrived, but the time of the autumn harvest has arrived, although it has nothing to do with those young ladies, and they will not pay attention to these, but for Lin Zhu, it is even more important.

Although Feng Yuanbo takes care of everything from hiring to harvesting, as the owner, Lin Zhu also has to check the progress every day.

"Girl, don't worry, our crops will definitely be the first to be harvested." When Feng Yuanbo reported to Lin Zhu, he told about the general situation.

Lin Zhu's reputation in Wang Village is very good, whether it is spring plowing or autumn harvest, the salary she gives is not out of line but it is the highest kind, and more importantly, the food she provides is much higher than others. In this way, she can hire the most people for the same price. Therefore, she finished the work in the field the fastest.

Because there are more special rice planted, after harvesting, wait for threshing and then loading into warehouses, which will be slower.

However, when he was out of material this time, Lin Zhu specially invited Du Heng and Old Man Du over.

Old Man Du helped Lin Zhu plan the bamboo garden before, but the construction was delayed for some reasons, so Lin Zhu felt that it was troublesome, and the old man was really upset.

Fortunately, the old man didn't care, but he asked for a few more jars of wine as compensation, and of course Lin Zhu agreed to this request. Then he asked him to help make wine. In order to satisfy his own wine insects, and the brewing raw materials provided by Lin Zhu are really good, so Old Man Du agreed.

Another point, although Lin Zhu's food style is average, the taste is excellent. So Mr. Du also misses it very much.

But after all, Old Man Du is old, and his family doesn't want him to work too hard, so they want to persuade him to stay at home.

Old Man Du's temper is okay if he follows what he says, but he can persuade him that he is old and afraid of being tired or something, the more he twists his temperament. The Du family had no choice but to select Du Bin, who had the most similar temper to Old Man Du, from the juniors in the family, and accompanied him to Lin Zhu's house.

"Bamboo girl, it's all a good thing that my sons who don't fight are doing. Come to you. Good food, good drink, good hospitality, they just don't worry. When Old Man Du arrived at Wang Village, he complained to Lin Zhu first, "No. I have to let my grandson come with me. ”

Lin Zhu noticed Du Bin behind Old Man Du. Sixteen or seventeen years old. He was tall and thin, but he looked energetic, but he didn't seem to be very talkative. The face is a little serious.

"Grandpa Du is old and strong, so naturally it doesn't matter, but the uncles of the Du family are also filial. It's all a good thing, you have a beautiful heart. Lin Zhu's words amused the old man Du who pretended to be angry, and Du Bin, who came with him, saw that his grandfather finally smiled, and he also secretly breathed a long sigh.

"You kid, learn hard with your sister Zhu, don't be like your father at a young age, old-fashioned." Old Man Du seems to be very unaccustomed to his grandson's somewhat old-fashioned appearance. Then he introduced to Lin Zhu, "He is the second oldest in the family, so you can call him the second brother." ”

"Second Brother Du." Lin Zhu greeted him and saluted.

"Little bamboo girl Ann, I'm bothering my grandfather below." Du Bin returned the salute, his tone was very peaceful, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

"Where, I have to thank Grandpa Du for coming to help." Lin Zhu felt that Du Bin should not approve of Old Man Du's coming out, coupled with his attitude of speaking, Lin Zhu unconsciously became polite and restrained.

"Bamboo girl, you don't have to worry about him." For his stereotypical grandson, Old Man Du is also very powerless, "Didn't Old Man Zhang come?" ”

"Grandpa Gan has been very busy and can't spare time to come, but since Grandpa Du is here, I think that his old man will come over soon." Lin Zhu thought funny in his heart, just for the sake of wine, the godfather was afraid that Old Man Du would drink it up, so he would have to come over.

Old Man Du snorted, he didn't speak, he was old and fine, of course, he knew the reason why it was inconvenient for Old Doctor Zhang to come, and it was not the reason for the juniors in the family.

"How much wine is the bamboo girl going to give Grandpa Du as a reward?" Old Man Du didn't reveal the matter of Dr. Zhang, and asked bluntly.

Before Lin Zhu could speak, Du Bin's voice of some disapproval came, "Grandfather, the imperial doctor said that you should not drink too much wine. ”

Old Man Du's interest was interrupted, and he said with some shame, "Don't worry about it." ”

"Grandpa Du, since the imperial doctors have spoken, do you think this is good, how about using food to pay for it?" Lin Zhu proposed a condition that made it difficult for Old Man Du to choose.

"Is that it?" Old Man Du hesitated.

Du Bin, who was standing aside, showed a displeased expression on his serious face. His grandfather's craft of brewing can be described as a first-class master, how many people took a lot of real money to beg him to help, his grandfather was not moved, he felt that Lin Zhu exchanged grain for Old Man Du's craftsmanship, which was the most difficult for the countrymen. There was some anger in my heart.

However, he was embarrassed to say it bluntly to his face, so he could only explain it to Old Man Du alone after a while.

"That's it." Lin Zhu nodded. "And I estimate that the crops on the other side of the bamboo garden are almost finished, and they will be transported to the capital. You can pick and choose what you want there, too. ”

"Okay." Lin Zhu's condition was too unbearable to refuse, "However, I still need fifty jars of wine." That's not too much, isn't it? "Old Man Du refuses to give up the wine even if he lives or dies.

"Grandpa Du wants wine, of course you can." Lin Zhu nodded, but it was only fifty jars of wine, which was trivial.

After the last, Lin Zhu promised to give Old Man Du 3,000 catties of special white rice and other special grains and vegetables, plus fifty jars of wine. In exchange, Old Man Du helped brew 10,000 jars of wine.

Of course, it can't be the old man who does it himself, but Lin Zhu sent people to work under the command of Old Man Du, but the key part of it is done by Old Man Du himself or assigned cronies.

In this way, the deal between the two is completed.

Du Bin didn't expect his grandfather to fall on Lin Zhu's 'dang' so quickly. I was very unhappy.

When they arrived at the room arranged by Lin Zhu for the two of them, Du Bin didn't hold back, and asked directly, "Grandfather, is this Lin girl too careful with the face of Boss Zhang?" ”

"Hehe, you kid finally can't hold it back?" Old Man Du smiled at Du Bin's changing face.

"Grandfather, it's about your reputation." Du Bin said solemnly.

"Do you think your grandfather is the kind of person who is gullible and loses?" Old Man Du sat on the chair and glared at Du Bin. "The things that the bamboo girl gave just now, there should be more than 10,000 taels."

"What?" Du Bin's eyes widened, it was just a little grain, and his own Zhuangzi also produced these things, how could it be worth so much money? Even if you give a lot, how can you lack that little food at home?

"Did you steal the wine I took back last time?" Old Man Du looked at this most serious grandson, and he already knew in his heart that he was the best wine, and he looked like anyone else on the surface, looking like he didn't get a drop of wine, but in fact, he was too picky about drinking, and he didn't drink it because he didn't look at ordinary wine.

"Ugh." Du Bin didn't expect his little trick to be known to his grandfather, and his face was slightly hot.

"That wine is made from the grain of the bamboo girl's family." Old Man Du glared at him angrily, and said in his heart, I didn't want to drink more wine, but let your kid drink it all.

Hearing this, Du Bin was stunned, and looked at Old Man Du in disbelief, "That's not to say, this is ......" Du Bin suddenly felt that his language function was a little impaired, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it.

"What do you say?" Old Man Du glanced at him.

Du Bin sat down on the chair, and it took a long time to digest the information given by his grandfather, who would have thought that the special white rice that the whole capital was looking for would actually be here, under the nose of the capital? The news is so exciting.

"That ......" Du Bin had just started when he was interrupted by Old Man Du.

"This matter can't be spread out, someone from above is meddling." Old Man Du pointed to the top of his head.

Du Bin suddenly thought of the Muyue Commercial Company, where the first special watermelon appeared, "That special watermelon is also from Miss Lin's hand?" ”

Old Man Du nodded, seeing that this grandson's face had changed greatly, his mood had changed very well, he was always old-fashioned before, which made him really not like it.

Du Bin then understood why Old Man Du was so enthusiastic about helping Lin Zhu make wine, and brought him with him, among the five juniors of the Du family, only he inherited his grandfather's talent for winemaking, although he has not been too much revealed at home, but who his grandfather is, he must have known the Tao for a long time.

"Grandfather, is there a little less than fifty altars?" Thinking of the incident just now when he stopped Old Man Du from asking for wine, Du Bin had the idea of knocking his own head, if he didn't stop it, wouldn't it be ......

Oops, I can't think about it, and if I think about it again, I feel so painful.

"Do you know what to say this time?" Old Man Du looked at his grandson regretting it and nodded, which was funny. "Don't worry, it's the same with the bamboo girl in the future."

With Old Man Du's assurance, Du Bin was relieved. Of course, I also strengthened the idea that we must make good wine.

"Bamboo girl, although it is true that this wine has good materials, this water is also very important." After using the lunch carefully prepared by Lin Zhu, Old Man Du found Lin Zhu.

"Grandpa Du, can't you use well water?" Lin Zhu also knows that the role of water is very large, but the space is too small after all, and the space cannot be nourished by such a large amount of water.

"If you use well water, the taste of the sake may be worse." Old Man Du also knew that if you want to find good water, you can't get it without a certain relationship. With the face of him and Dr. Zhang, those better mountain springs can't be obtained at all, so he is also a little embarrassed. (To be continued......)
