Li Lin, Wang Chao, including Huzi, looked at the dozens of jars of good wine in front of them and swallowed saliva involuntarily, it was a sin to eat too much, the ancestor had already said that fish and bear's paws could not be both, Lu Zifei asked Wang Chao to bring in the set of distillation utensils he customized, everyone knew these strange things, said that it was a pot, and there was a hole underneath, a copper pipe with the thickness of bamboo, how much does it cost! Lu Zifei didn't care about the suspicious eyes of others, and installed everything on his own.

Seeing that Lu Zifei connected all the parts together, one end was on the stove, and below the other end was a large barrel, the cauldron and the barrel were connected by a thigh-thick pipe, and there were many thin pipes in the vat, after preparing everything, Lu Zifei instructed Huzi to pour all the wine in the jar into the cauldron, and the stove began to heat, after doing all this, he found that everyone looked at him with strange eyes, how to describe this look? It's like watching a loser squander his father's legacy.

Lu Zifei said, "Why do you all look at me like this." "He also looked at it all over his body, and there was no problem!

Wang Chao said distressedly: "Zifei, do you know how much you asked me to help you make these things?" It's a full 3,000 guan, even if your family can't spend so much in ten years, and the pipes you use are all made of copper, you know? ”

Lu Li was stunned, "Brother Wang, you said that these things are three thousand runs." ”

Wang Chao said: "Yes! There are dozens of fractions, I didn't say. ”

"Three thousand, not much, you let people help me build another set, I still have a little money left, I'll give it to you later, I didn't expect it to be cheap, Uncle Wang, you were treated with this expression! If you know that this thing can give you tens of millions of dollars in return, do you think it's worth it? Lu Zifei said happily. He is most afraid that no one will be able to create these things, since they have been built, what is only 3,000 guan, 30,000 guan is not a loss, and in later generations, the country will collect more than 50% taxes on tobacco and alcohol, you can think about how big the benefits are, and it is worth risking your head.

No, the back is still pulled, looking at Li Lin is like seeing a pile of gold coins, Li Lin was a little hairy by Lu Zifei, "If you have anything to say, please don't look at me with this kind of look." ”

Lu Zifei and Li Lin hooked their shoulders and entered the house, Lu Li knew that his son had something to say to his friend, and stopped the weak who wanted to go in, and after coming in, Lu Zifei said to Li Lin, "You know the emperor, right?" Li Lin was taken aback and stammered, "How do you know." ”

"I thought about it, there was no high-ranking official surnamed Li in the court, and finally I heard others say that the emperor's biological mother's surname was Li, so I thought of you, who are you the emperor, don't be afraid, this thing is done, your cousin must look at you differently, you know that I have never lost my word about what I promised you, right?"

Li Lin relieved his breath at this time, Xiucai will not be the same as Bigan, right? His identity can be deduced from nothing else, and he was born to be a big official! While he still has nothing, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, and it is easy to say when you have a decision, "You guessed very right, you first tell me what you have to do and I will listen." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I want to do wine business with the emperor." ”

What did Li Lin think was going on? "You and I can do it, I'll give you a few thousand, is it enough."

Lu Zifei looked at Li Lin contemptuously and said: "You haven't seen wine yet, so you dare to say such a big thing, I guarantee that you don't dare to say that the wine comes out, thousands of bowls of profits every year, are you sure that without the emperor, you and you will not be killed and thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish." ”

"Tens of millions? You didn't wake up, did you? Lanling Xiao's Lanling Piaoxue has an annual income of one million yuan, and this big head will go into that person's pocket, with a profit of 10 million yuan, I estimate that the first one to cut our two heads must be the one, the Northwest War has already emptied the treasury in the past two years, and he is trying to find a way to make money? Li Lin said to Lu Zifei.

Lu Zifei said leisurely: "We have known each other for a month, you saw that I told a lie that time, 10 million is not a lot, mainly the food problem, you know that the current food is from Sichuan, Jiangsu and the land of the two lakes, half of the food in the north needs the support of the south, but also to meet the emergency of war, natural disasters, natural disasters, so the emperor does not allow a large amount of wine, unless there is a point, the profit of wine exceeds the value of the grain itself, then the emperor will let you brew, the world can make a large amount of wine is not remembered, I can't think of a second person other than the emperor. ”

Li Lin touched his head and said, "What you said makes a little sense!" But is that good wine? ”

Lu Zifei said, "You don't have to worry about this, you don't have three thirds, how dare you go to Liangshan, if you promise to help me tell the emperor about this, I will tell you a big news, if you find the real thing, thousands of households will give you a shrine." ”

Li Lin despised Lu Zifei, "The more you say, the more outrageous it becomes, Wan Jiasheng words, say a big disrespectful word, Taizu didn't do it." ”

Lu Zifei said: "If there is a kind of rice that can be harvested three times a year, do you think those farmers will set up a shrine for you?" ”

"I don't believe that there is rice in this world that crops three times a year, unless you are an immortal and know the law of immortals." Li Lin shook his head and said.

Lu Zifei said to him affirmatively: "Starting from Guangzhou, sailing on the sea for about ten days, you can see a country, where people grow rice at will and are still in the field, everyone there is very lazy, but they have endless food, a lot of grain is rotten in the ground, not this year, next year you and I form a fleet, you will soon believe." ”

Li Lin couldn't tell whether Xiucai was telling the truth or a lie. Anyway, Xiucai said that he would see tomorrow morning.

When Lu Li saw his son coming out, he asked him, "Can this thing make wine?" Shouldn't sake brew be made with koji? ”

"Father, let's make a bet, make good wine, you help me find a few cows with milk, that is, the kind that specializes in milk production, can't make good wine, I will withdraw all the money, obediently go to follow the gentleman you said about the peace of mind imperial examination, and you have the final say on the quality of the wine, and the wine is not worth the ones we poured in, and I will lose, how about it." Lu Zifei always looked smiling.

Lu Li couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in his son's gourd, but no matter how he heard it, he had a bigger chance of winning, what didn't he dare to bet on, he was Hu Cao, and it was not a big deal to find a few cows that produced milk. "The father and son high-fived three times, which is considered to be a bet between men.

took the weakness in his father's arms, and said to him, "Tomorrow my brother wins, you will have the sweet sugar you have today, and if your father wins, you will not have it, and if you are weak, you say that whoever wins." ”

"Brother" "You have seen him for less than a day, I have been holding you for more than a year, you are a little conscienceless." "Lu Li eats his son's vinegar, is there such a big attraction on the eldest son?

In the evening, when Lu Zifei read a book for a while and was about to go to bed, Lu Ziyun came in. "Is there anything wrong with Xiaoyun?"

Lu Ziyun didn't speak, a little embarrassed, Lu Zifei said, "Do you want to sleep with your eldest brother?" ”

Lu Ziyun didn't speak, and nodded heavily.

Lu Zifei scolded with a smile: "When I was a child, I wanted to sleep and ran early, but now that I have grown up, I am embarrassed, you go up and lie on the bed first, and the eldest brother will come up as soon as he burns his feet." ”

After Lu Zifei went to bed, he found his younger brother's sobbing and said: "Manly man, what is there to tell my brother, what is it like to be a little daughter." ”

"Big brother, they all said that I hurt you and lost your Xiucai title, and let you go to the army." After saying that, the crying became louder.

It seems that the little kid has grown up and can tell the difference between good and bad, and it is no longer what the elder brother says, Lu Zifei comforted him, "Other people don't believe in you, but the eldest brother believes in you, my brother definitely didn't kill anyone, my brother will find out about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, even if there is a relationship, you are my younger brother, shouldn't I help you?" ”

The two brothers didn't know how much they said, watching Lu Ziyun fall asleep, Lu Zifei was tired and sleepy all day, and fell asleep in a daze.

Lu Zifei, who was still playing against Zhou Gong in his dream early the next morning, was woken up by the sound outside, and came out in pajamas to see that everyone else was staring at the three big barrels, and thought something had happened?

Lu Zifei asked loudly, "You still don't let people sleep, it's early in the morning." ”

Li Lin ran to Lu Zifei at a speed of 100 meters, and pulled him down in front of the distiller at the same speed and said, "Do you smell it, it smells so fragrant, we don't know if we can open it, just when you wake up, can you open it." ”

"It's okay, open the top bucket, and you put away the remaining two buckets first." Lu Li also believed that it was filled with good wine at this time, and Huzi helped carry the wine in.

Li Lin heard Lu Zifei say that it was okay, and couldn't wait to open the bucket left, for a while, everyone felt that they were in the wine pool, there was no wine in the barrel, only water, Li Lin picked up the bowl next to him, and filled half a bowl, Lu Zifei didn't have time to speak, he poured it down. If you don't eat a bite of food in the morning, drinking alcohol like this will really kill you.

"Water, water, give me a sip of water." Li Lin's neck turned red at this time, and the others didn't know what was going on, Lu Zifei knew in his heart that he hadn't eaten a bite of food in the morning, so it was strange that he didn't have an accident with such a drink.

Li Lin can finally speak, "Xiucai, you are right, this wine deserves the reputation of the world's best wine." ”

Lu Zifei also had a faint sense of superiority in his heart, and he said: "This is called the best wine in the world, what are the two barrels that are carried in." ”

Li Lin's eyes were wider than a cow's eyes, "You mean those two barrels are better than the one I drank?" ”

Lu Zifei nodded and said, "It's better than this, but those two barrels will have to be put for a few days before they can be drunk, and they can't be drunk now, and if they drink, they will die." ”

"Father, don't drink like that." Lu Li also wanted to drink a bowl to try when he heard Li Lin say this, but his son found out.

Lu Zifei helplessly explained, "This wine is very pure, you can only drink it slowly with a small cup, you will have problems drinking it like this, and you haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Xiucai, I've decided to help you make this business."

"That's what I'm waiting for, and don't forget what you promised me, father."
