Xianyang City, blacksmith shop

"Da Niu, have you made what you made ready?" Li Chen asked.

"It's been around for a long time, just waiting for you to get it. Master Li, what is this iron pimple used for, it took me a lot of work. Da Niu leaned over and said.

Li Chen looked at the retort in front of him, this retort is made of iron as a whole, consisting of an iron pipe connecting three sealed tanks, large, medium and small, the large jar is the wine storage tank, the middle jar is the cooling tank, and the small jar is the finished tank. The appearance of the whole equipment is silver and shiny, and the appearance is very good.

"Well, it looks good." Li Chen sighed sincerely.

"What is a good look, I am not a person who does decent work. I don't know what you're for, but I promise it's going to work.

Look at the gaps between the pipe and the jar, I have all sealed them with kraft glue and molten iron. Although I don't know what you mean by vacuum, I can guarantee that there will be no air leakage for three years.

It's not that I'm bragging, but my craft is ancestral. In this entire Xianyang City, except for military craftsmen, there is no better craftsmanship than me. Da Niu heard Li Chen say that he looked good, and hurriedly said angrily.

"The craftsmanship is good, the first in Xianyang City. Not bad, not bad. Li Chen looked at the most perfect distiller of Da Qin, and then at the big cow with a simple face, and a bold and immature idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Da Niu, your craftsmanship is so good, how much silver can you earn in a month." Li Chen looked at Da Niu and asked with a sincere expression.

"I just make a hard money, and I can't ask for more than the villagers who are all villagers, and I am definitely the craftsman with the lowest asking price in the whole Xianyang. I can earn seventy or eighty copper a month, which is enough for me to eat and drink. The big bull raised his head as he spoke, as if there were a lot of seventy or eighty coppers.

"Big cow, how often do you eat meat, my skewers are not fragrant." Li Chen asked again.

"I do physical work, a lot of food, seventy or eighty copper can feed me, and ordinary meat is definitely not enough. Your skewers are so fragrant, even more fragrant than the meat I ate during the Chinese New Year. Da Niu swallowed as he spoke.

"Da Niu, do you want to marry a daughter-in-law?" Li Chen asked again.

"Yes, of course. Before I died, my mother hoped that I could get a daughter-in-law, but I was not angry, I couldn't save money, and Cuihua in the next village also got married. If I take my daughter-in-law, I will definitely take her back to our village. Go to my mother's grave and let my mother take a look. Da Niu said, wiping his tears.

"Then if you do this, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life. Look at you here is shabby and dirty, you are poor, you have eaten the last meal and the next meal, that girl can follow you. Li Chen struck.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Maybe Li Chen's words pierced his heart, and Da Niu said angrily.

"You do it with me, I'll give you three taels of silver a month, three taels of silver a month, and you will soon be able to marry an aunt and give birth to a few big fat boys." Li Chen tempted.

Da Niu was a little moved when he heard the three taels of silver, but immediately seemed to think of something: "I don't sell my body, my mother confessed before she died." You can't sell yourself to the landlord to die of starvation, and the landlord and the old wealth are hungry wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

"We don't sign a deed of sale, and I'm not a landlord. In this way, I will give you three taels of silver a month, and you will work for me. If you don't want to do it, you can always go. Li Chen said.

"Really, if I don't sign a deed of sale, you can give me three taels of silver, and this kind of good thing." Da Niu asked suspiciously.

"I promise not to sign it, and I'll give you skewers to eat, how about it, do you want to do it." Li Chen also tried his best to coax this first technical talent he met in Daqin into his hands.

"As long as I don't sign the deed of sale, I'll do it." The big cow swallowed saliva, and it was obvious that the power of the skewers and the daughter-in-law was strong.

"Big Niu, you go to the fire first and heat the water in the pot."

"Liuzi, you go and strain the wine you bought with gauze."

Half an hour later, in the back kitchen of the barbecue restaurant, Li Chen was directing the two to work.

"Alright, alright, you two bring the still up. The big pot was put in the pot, and it was put down. Li Chen shouted.

"The bigger the cow burns the fire, the more prosperous the better."

"Boss, don't worry, I promise to burn more than my iron stove."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The big bull pulled the bellows with a loud sound, and the flame was like the gossip furnace of Taishang Laojun.

After a while, the large pot of the still began to smoke, and the fire was almost over.

"Liuzi, add water to the middle can, add wine to the big can, keep adding, don't stop."

"Okay, brother."

In about an hour, a whole vat of wine had been emptied, and the wood that had piled up half of the cupboard had been burned.

Li Chen unscrewed the switch of the small can.

"Hmm."

At the moment when the switch was turned on, a strong aroma of wine came to my nose. The wine flowed like a trickle from the mouth pot to the wine jar prepared in advance, and two jars were filled, and there were still five bowls left, and the six sons hurriedly sealed the two jars with yellow mud.

"Here, taste." Li Chen pointed to the wine bowl on the table and said.

"I'm not going to drink it." Smelling the aroma of this wine, you will know that it is a good wine of great value, Da Niu hesitated.

"Let you drink, you drink. The eldest brother is a stingy person, and following the eldest brother is fragrant and spicy. Liuzi hurriedly said.

Li Chen said that the kid had a good eyesight, and nodded approvingly.

"Good wine."

"Good wine."

After the two of them finished drinking, they hurriedly approved.

"Bang."

"You kid can't do anything at night." Seeing Liuzi touching another wine bowl, Li Chen slapped his hand.

"It's ready to open, six skewers, big cows do chores."

Li Chen said and slept on the recliner next to the counter, and today he can be regarded as a serious shopkeeper.

"Yo, grandpa is here again today, bring friends to eat." As soon as it opened, I heard Liuzi greeting an old man.

The old man was a regular visitor, and came almost every day. Don't look at the age, the amount of food is not small at all. When it comes to eating meat, it's worth three or five young men.

"Little one, where's your brother?" The old man asked.

"My brother is studying, my brother is a scholar who will become a big official in the future." Liuzi said proudly.

"You don't have to study to be an official, and those stinky and sour Confucians are not good officials when they become officials." The old man scolded with a smile.

"Fifty skewers of lamb in honey sauce, fifty skewers of spicy lamb skewers. Two grilled fish and two lamb shanks. ”

There weren't many people just opening, and soon the old man's dishes were ready.

"Shopkeeper, can you taste the wine on your table?" The middle-aged man who was traveling with him saw Li Chen sipping wine and asked.

"Big Niu, give him that bowl." Li Chen didn't raise his head, and shouted at Da Niu.

"Bang."

"This is the wine that the boss just brewed, and you really have good eyesight."

Da Niu threw the wine bowl on the table, Xu is strength is a little strong, and he spilled a lot of wine.

"Wow."

As soon as the middle-aged man took his mouth, he let out a low groan.

"Your Majesty'......"

"It's okay, the wine is very strong, but it's really a rare good wine in the world." The middle-aged man interrupted the old man and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have any wine?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, but it's not cheap." Li Chen replied.

"It's okay, you can just go up."

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, Li Chen hurriedly picked up a jar of wine that had just been poured and sent it over, after all, it was a fat sheep delivered to the door.

"Grandpa, you are really a junior ...... It's incredibly expensive! ”

When the wine was put on the table, Li Chen looked at the middle-aged man, and he really couldn't describe this feeling, so he held back for a while and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man is just an old servant."

The old man hurriedly said.

A few years later, Li Chen remembered the thing he regretted the most, that is, he didn't kneel down and call his father-in-law at this time.
