Chapter 102: New Wine Is Coming
The sun is slanting in the west, and the breeze is coming.
Li Zexuan has already walked around the entire Plum Village alone, of course, there is no bloody incident of getting lost halfway and encountering a beautiful woman to guide the way, after all, there are so many beauties in this countryside, and Han Yuxi is just a very special case.
Plum Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is extremely elegant, after Li Zexuan walked around, he even had the idea of living in seclusion here, shook his head, and got rid of this unrealistic idea, Li Zexuan came to the entrance of the village, took away the statistical booklet made by Liu Qingbee for the villagers, and returned to Hanjiazhuang.
After arriving at Hanjiazhuang, Li Zexuan asked Han Lizheng to inform some villagers and asked them to go to Meicun tomorrow to guide them to build a chicken farm, and Li Zexuan went back to Han's courtyard alone.
........
Han's small courtyard.
"Hongling, you quickly take three people to wash the wild strawberries together."
"Okay, Sister Yuxi."
"Ah Xiang, you take four people to wash and cut these hawthorns into pieces."
"Sister Yuxi, Ah Xiang will go."
"Wenwen, you go and get some water, sugar and koji."
"Okay."
As soon as Li Zexuan entered the courtyard, he felt as if he had come to the country of his daughter, full of young and lively girls, making the air around him seem to be fresher.
It was the first time he saw Han Yuxi brewing wine herself, and he saw her using a hairband to tie up her long hair, and her sleeves were also rolled up high, revealing two slender arms like white jade, and she was pouring some squeezed juice, mixed with some koji and sugar, into the wine jar.
Her movements are so elegant, every move is full of poetry, she is busy with the work in her hands, while commanding the girls to perform their duties, division of labor and cooperation, this courtyard seems to have become her battlefield, and she is the female general on this battlefield.
may be due to the hot weather, Han Yuxi's Qiong nose has a little bead of sweat, and some traces of sweat can be seen on the clothes on her back.
Eh, don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent people, Li Zexuan hurriedly turned his face away, coughed dryly, Han Yuxi and the girls found Li Zexuan who had already entered the door.
"I've seen the lord!"
All the girls stopped what they were doing and bowed to Li Zexuan together.
Han Yuxi gave him a smile: "Young Master, you're back." ”
When Li Zexuan heard this, he felt a little weird, as if his wife was greeting her husband who had just returned from afar. Shaking his head to shake off the thoughts in his mind, he hurriedly smiled at the girls and said:
"Don't be polite, you guys keep busy, don't delay because of me."
After speaking, Li Zexuan walked straight to Han Yuxi.
Although the rest of the girls returned to their original positions and continued to be busy, their eyes secretly glanced this way from time to time.
Which girl is not pregnant with spring, Li Zexuan is handsome and chic, and he is in a high position, young and golden, they are not tempted to be fake.
But they all understand that in terms of beauty, all of them together can't compare to Han Yuxi, and now they look at Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi's eyes, but there are mostly gossip.
All the girls wanted to know if Han Yuxi, the most beautiful girl in Hanjiazhuang and even the nearby ten miles and eight villages, could capture the heart of this young lord.
Of course, they very much hope that Han Yuxi and Li Zexuan will finally get together, because by that time, this young lord will be Han Jiazhuang's son-in-law, and Han Jiazhuang's life will always be good in the future.
"Yuxi, you've worked hard, come and wipe your sweat."
Li Zexuan handed over a handkerchief with pity, he had never been used to carrying this thing on his body, he felt that only women would carry handkerchiefs.
But every time Xiaoxi cleaned up his clothes, he would put a washed handkerchief around his waist, and in the long run, Li Zexuan didn't bother to correct it, but he didn't expect to use it today.
He wanted to wipe Han Yuxi's sweat in person, but thinking that this was ancient times, if he did this, it would be too presumptuous, not to mention the reputation of his daughter's family, Han Yuxi was afraid that he would not pay attention to him in the future.
I have to say that even though Li Zexuan had a relationship in his previous life, he was still a novice in terms of pondering women's thoughts, and he still hadn't seen Han Yuxi's heart for him.
Han Yuxi hesitated for a moment, took the handkerchief with a shy face, said thank you, gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks, and then she said:
"Young master, this is the last batch of mountain fruits, the batch of mountain fruit wine brewed before can be released from the cellar, when will you send it to the young master?"
Li Zexuan groaned: "How much is the last batch of mountain fruit wine?" ”
Han Yuxi thought for a while and replied: "There are a total of eighty altars, and each altar is about forty catties. ”
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Then tomorrow, you ask your father to call a few young people and send all the last batch of mountain fruit wine to my house, do you have leisure tomorrow?" After this wine is delivered, we are going to start bartending, do you want to come along? ”
Finally can help the young master do things, Han Yuxi had some expectations in his heart, and hurriedly replied:
"Yes, young master, today's last batch of mountain juice and koji can be mixed into the cellar, and there will be nothing to do later."
Li Zexuan said happily: "That's good." ”
At this moment, Lan'er and Tie Dan came back, and the little girl was covered in sweat, but her face was full of happy laughter. Li Zexuan was a little speechless, the little sister's temperament is really getting wilder and wilder.
"Master!"
"Brother!"
The two little guys said hello to Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan nodded, and seeing that it was not early, he said goodbye to Han Yuxi. Tie Dan stayed, and Li Zexuan asked him to go into the city with Han Yuxi and them tomorrow.
..........
As soon as he got home, Li Zexuan immediately entered the study, he wanted to draw a set of equipment for distilling liquor, a complete set of distillation equipment is divided into two parts: a distillation pot and a condenser.
Distillation pot, Li Zexuan intends to use pure copper to build, one is that copper has good thermal conductivity, the second copper is some esterification reaction catalyst, the third is that copper has good resistance to the acidity of raw wine, and the fourth is that copper can make butyric acid, hexic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, etc. form insoluble copper salts and precipitate, so that these undesirable odor acids are removed.
As for the condenser part, Li Zexuan planned to use a clay pot to fire. Because in this era, the process of firing glass has not yet matured, Li Zexuan knows the general formula, but he has not had time to study this.
With the help of his super spiritual power, in less than half an hour, a complete set of distillation equipment was all drawn, and not a single detail was missed.
Then he took advantage of the fact that the door was not closed, and hurried to the workshop, and asked Fauber to help him make a set of distillation equipment before noon tomorrow.
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned home, just in time to meet Wang Zhong and Sanbao who were returning from Dongshi. Wang Zhong immediately pleaded guilty:
"Young master, I didn't buy many chicken seedlings today, the old slave is really derelict in his duty, and he has the trust of the young master."
Li Zexuan was surprised: "Why? ”
Wang Zhong took many people to Dongshi in advance of the housekeeper of Chengfu, and told Li Zexuan about all the chicken seedlings in less than a quarter of an hour.
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he shook his head and smiled:
"Uncle Wang, don't go to buy chicken seedlings in the next two days, let Cheng Fu buy them first. By the way, there are still 70,000 chicken seedlings in Meicun, Uncle Wang, you can buy them all in the future. ”
"But, young master......" Wang Zhong stretched out his hand to speak.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, it's okay, our family is not short of money, buy it a few days later, buy it a few days later." ”
Cheng Yanjin guessed correctly, the Li family is really not bad for this money, Cheng Yanjin is willing to take advantage of him Li Zexuan, which proves that he does not treat Li Zexuan as an outsider, of course Li Zexuan will not care.
