Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter on the Roadside

The Zhao family's workshop is small, but very neat.

The smell is stagnant, and the air is filled with a fragrance.

It can be seen that Zhao Hong is very attentive, and his words and deeds on weekdays also reveal his pride in this skill handed down by his ancestors.

In the yard, there were still a few large vats, and when Zhao Hongniang heard that someone was coming, she thought that Zhao Hong was back, and she wore an apron to welcome her.

"Why did you come back so late, hurry up and make a fire and get ready to eat."

Seeing that there was a young man behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Hong hurriedly said: "Mother, this is our new steward." ”

Zhao Hongniang hurriedly brought the seat, holding her hand uneasily, a little restrained.

Chen Shou smiled: "Let's take a look at the wine trough and let your mother be busy." ”

Zhao Hong held the duck blood vermicelli soup and a few cooking cakes and handed them to his mother, "You don't have to cook tonight, just eat this, it's our steward's invitation." ”

Zhao Hongniang hurriedly thanked her, said hello a few times and went to the house to eat.

Distillation is actually not an uncommon thing, in the Western Han Dynasty, bronze stills have appeared to extract alcohol. However, the technology was very backward, and the subsequent development was not rapid.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the alcohol content was about 3 percent, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty, some famous wines had reached 10 percent. However, most of them are still turbid liquor, and the predecessor of liquor, soju, has not yet appeared.

Chen Shou took a turn in the workshop, and after Zhao Hong's explanation, he roughly understood the process of winemaking.

As long as you add your own distillation equipment, you will definitely be able to make soju, and then you need to invite a few writers to publicize it, and it will be just around the corner to make money.

Coming out of Zhao Hong's house, it was not early, and it was not close to Qin Fengying.

Chen Shou looked at the sun gradually setting in the sky, and was still worried for a while that it was dark and difficult to hurry, when he heard a familiar donkey bark in the distance.

Chen Fu drove the donkey cart and came to pick him up excitedly, with a few children in the car.

In the past few days, there was another war on the front line, and the Uighurs in Lingzhou rebelled, fought with the Qiang people, and took advantage of the situation to take Yinzhou.

With the victory in Yinzhou, coupled with the best-selling perfume, the pressure on the general's mansion has suddenly decreased, and everyone is jubilant.

However, the battle was very tragic, with the loss of many elite soldiers and, of course, some orphans.

There were some unattended ones, so they were simply sent to Qin Fengying, who was only three or five years old.

Their pitch-black pupils dodged, and before they could recognize the world, they were already alone without a father and a mother.

Chen Shou asked the deputy in the camp to write it down, arrange a few beds, and live in the Qin Feng camp like himself.

During the day, there were also people from the General's Mansion who came to Qin Fengying to select teenagers who were already over sixteen years old to fight on the front line.

Chen Shou asked people to buy some wine and meat, sent them away, looking at the backs of those people, Chen Shou inexplicably remembered a sentence:

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.

The war is too cruel, especially in the northwest, the two sides have become a feud, and they will never die when they meet.

If a hero is born out of thin air, he can deter the crowd and end this troubled world, which is really good!

It's a pity that today's imperial court has long lost the majesty and strategy of Qi Taizu, and most of the borders are on the defensive, just wanting to enjoy wealth and prosperity.

"Second uncle!"

When Chen Fu saw the second uncle, he waved his whip and shouted, this kid is much stronger than when he came out, mainly because he ate and drank to keep up.

Don't talk about him, even Chen Shou is much stronger.

Originally, he was a farmer's child, and he didn't have a wine color to hollow out his body, Chen Shou's foundation was not bad, but he lacked nutrition and was a little pale.

After being greatly injured by Mrs. Su, her face was as white as paper, and now she is slowly recovering.

Chen Shou beckoned and got into the car, and now it was mid-spring. Along the way, the wind smokes willows, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.

"Chen Shou!"

A slightly surprised voice sounded, and Chen Shou turned his head to see that there was a line of knights by the river.

The one who took the lead was a girl in armor, heroic and beautiful, and it was Li Lingyue, the second lady of the General's Mansion.

She also carried a carved bow on her back, and several small beasts hung from her horse's belly, still dripping blood.

It's so fucking wild...

Chen Shou sighed secretly, he had to be careful, he couldn't offend her.

"It turned out to be Miss Two, and I saw Miss Two."

"What are you doing here?"

There were a few dolls on the donkey cart, which was in stark contrast to others, but Chen Shou was not ashamed, and said generously: "This is a recruit from my Qin Feng battalion, and I will take them out on patrol for training today." ”

The generals of the General's Mansion behind Li Lingyue burst into laughter on the horse.

Li Lingyue waved her hand, the laughter stopped abruptly, she sipped the green silk on her sideburns, because of the sweat from hunting, it was stained on the earlobe, and when the wind blew, it looked like a deep boudoir girl.

Chen Shou stood in front of the donkey cart and was a little stunned for a while.

Li Lingyue looked at his dumbfounded eyes, a little proud in his heart, but the generals around him had already quit, "Be bold, believe it or not, dig out your eyes." ”

Chen Shou took in his expression, and said with a chuckle: "We, Qin Fengying, are willing to escort the young lady back to the house." ”

The family guards don't hide their disdain at all, and they really use themselves as camps, just these three-year-old children...

But Li Lingyue hummed unexpectedly, which caught these generals off guard.

The blood-red sunset stained the straight official road red, and also stained the faces of the two people red.

Chen Shou said a few more words about the mask, which made the second miss excited, because she rode a horse and hunted all day long, scurrying around, and her skin was not as delicate as her sister, which was the most annoying thing for the second lady, so she liked the effect that Chen Shou said the most.

"When will it be done?"

"Three or five days, when the time comes, we will join forces to sell, you are the boss, I will come to work, how about making a lot of money?"

"Make money?" Li Lingyue's expression was a little surprised, "What are you doing to make money?" What's the use? Why make money? ”

The three questions of this soul choked Chen Shou a lot, and he secretly scolded the big dog in his heart, not knowing the people's livelihood and suffering.

"You think, you make money, what a scene. also has a face in the house, and everyone will say that the second lady is talented and intelligent, and everything is at the touch of a button. ”

Chen Shou followed the temptation and lit up Li Lingyue's eyes, but he was a little hesitant, "If everyone has it, then I won't be able to show it.... Hmm, it doesn't matter to others, you can't sell it to my sister! ”

Chen Shou was speechless for a while, what kind of plastic sisterhood is this, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll make a special one for you, it's ten times better than theirs." ”

"That's pretty much it."

One led the horse, the other led the donkey, the two walked together, along the way Chen Shou's witty words were like beads, Li Lingyue leaned back and forth, the flowers and branches trembled, and the little face was blushing and puffing, until they were almost at the general's mansion and reluctantly separated.
