The brewery is a one-entry house, but the house is particularly large. In the house, there are many porcelain jars, and many craftsmen are busy.

"Little General." Seeing Zhang Bao come in, one of them hurriedly put down his work and came to pay a visit.

This is a small old man, with silver hair in green clothes and a thin body. The face and nose are very red, and there is a smell of wine in one mouth.

"Li Nian, you're secretly drinking again." Zhang Bao is very familiar with this little old man, and he doesn't know that he is drinking. Zhang Bao frowned and scolded.

"Back to the little general, only if you can drink can you make good wine. Belch. Li Nian said skillfully and burped again.

"Forget it." Zhang Bao was also used to it, and didn't say much or do anything. He pulled Guan Ping beside him and said, "This is Guan Ping, the eldest son of General Guan, he came to the workshop today to have a look, you take him around, and by the way, tell him about the brewing process." ”

"General Guan." Li Nian hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You don't have to visit and explain the sake brewing process. I have an idea for sake brewing, and you'll see if you can make it. Guan Ping was not interested in how to make wine, and when he saw Li Nian, he said bluntly.

"General Guan, please." Li Nian didn't care a little, the general is the general, and the brewing master is the brewing master.

If Guan Ping said that he had the idea of governing the army, Li Nian believed it. Now Guan Ping said that he had the idea of brewing wine, but Li Nian didn't believe it, and he thought it was a child messing around.

Of course, it can't be shown like this on the face, after all, the other party is the son of General Guan.

Guan Ping didn't know what Li Nian was thinking in his heart, and he didn't care what Li Nian was thinking. People like Li Nian are not worth mentioning.

Guan Ping only cares about whether he can produce distilled spirits. Guan Ping organized the language again, and told Li Nian what he knew about the distillation procedures and utensils.

"If the sake produced in this way is produced, it may be several times stronger than the current sake. What does Master Li think? Guan Ping raised his head and asked.

This distilled spirit is actually empty mouth, believe it or not, it all depends on the other party. Whether the other party believes it or not is the key to whether or not the distilled spirit can be produced.

If you believe, you will work hard, and if you don't believe, you will grind foreign workers.

If Li Nian doesn't believe it, then Guan Ping can only go to Xiangyang and find a brewing master who believes.

"General Guan Xiao's idea is indeed somewhat interesting. I think I can give it a try, but it's worth a lot of money to make something like that. ”

After Li Nian heard this, he was a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really interesting. Li Nian has been making wine for half his life, and he loves to drink.

I have a lot of passion for how to make good sake and how to make it, and I'm excited about it.

"It's good to say, I bear everything for the sake brewing costs. As long as you can make this distilled spirit, you're done. I promise you ten gold as a reward. ”

Seeing that Li Nian was so excited, Guan Ping smiled, and not only promised to bear the cost, but also promised a reward.

"No." The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, Li Nian is a drunkard, he is already excited, and when he heard the words, he was even more excited, and he suddenly agreed.

Guan Ping doesn't care about how Li Nian did it, he only cares about the result. So after he left Li Nian a sum of money, he left the brewing workshop with Zhang Bao.

"Guan Ping, is there really such a strong wine in this world?" Zhang Bao listened to it all, but couldn't help but wonder, he didn't say a word just now, but he couldn't help but speak at this moment.

"Of course there's wine like that. After this wine comes out, it can not only be drunk but also has some other effects. Guan Ping cut the railroad to the point, and there was a smile in his eyes.

By the way, high-grade wine can not only sell for money, but also have a certain effect on wound disinfection for injury treatment. After this high level of wine comes out, it is a benefit for the wounded soldiers who come down from the battlefield, which can greatly reduce the loss rate.

Zhang Bao grew up with Guan Ping since he was a child, and he believes in Guan Ping's character. When I heard this, I was reminded of the wine worm in my belly, and I thought, I really want to drink that kind of spirit.

was beaten by Jian Yong in the school, and when he went to Zhang Bao's house, he remembered the method of distilling liquor. This distilled liquor will definitely not come out overnight, and Guan Ping can only wait quietly.

Because of Liu's strictness, he couldn't go to school, and because of Jian Yong's strictness, Guan Ping could only stare at and learn ancient classics.

In the morning, I studied literature, and in the afternoon, I practiced martial arts by riding horses and archery, and the days passed quickly.

Soon it was the end of the month.

At the end of each month, Liu Biao would transport grain from Xiangyang to Xinye to supply Liu Bei's military supplies. This time it's crucial.

After all, Yi brought the bad news of cutting food, Jian Yong came up with a bad idea to let Liu Bei cry, crying, Liu Bei did go to cry, and Liu Biao should also go.

But whether things can really be done depends on today. If things don't work out, then Xinye's life will be difficult.

Although Guan Yu fished and Zhang Fei hunted, this period of time did replenish Xinye's military supplies, but it was far from enough.

Ay.

On October 30, outside the gate of Xinye West City, Liu Bei led Chen Zhi and dozens of other horsemen to personally welcome the Jingzhou general who came to transport grain into the city.

Liu Bei sat on the horse, raising his head from time to time to look into the distance, very urgent. Soon after, I saw a banner with the word "forest", and then a large number of carriages were guarded by a large number of horses, and slowly appeared on the horizon.

Liu Bei calmed down, and soon after, the team came to the city gate. There was a general dressed in armor who came out of the crowd to meet Liu Bei.

"I've seen General Zuo." The general turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Liu Bei.

"General Lin is polite." Liu Bei also turned over and dismounted, and politely helped the general up. This general's surname is Lin, and he transports grain to Xinye once a month, and Liu Bei is very familiar with it.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liu Bei couldn't help asking, "I don't know the amount of money and grain this time?" ”

"Why did General Zuo ask that? It's the same as last month. General Lin was stunned and said strangely. But he didn't know the doorway.

Liu Bei was comfortable and said with a smile: "It's good to be generally the same, it's good to be the same." Immediately, Liu Bei rode his horse and General Lin, and the brigade entered Xinye.

Soon after arriving at the granary, the grain was put into storage, and as for the money, there was only a small amount of gold. Liu Biao's main thing is to support food, and gold is only a few.

Liu Bei couldn't look down on this bit of gold, so he gave it to his subordinates. It's not hot for food, Liu Bei watched bags of grain enter the granary, and his heart was extremely comfortable.

Thought.

"Then Liu Jingsheng really has soft ears, it seems that I will cry more in the future, and if I cry more, I may be able to have more money and food."

A penny is hard to beat a hero.

Liu Bei sent people under the fence, and his posture was really low. Soon after, the grain was put into storage, and Liu Bei invited General Lin to stay in Xinye for a day and return to Xiangyang tomorrow.

General Lin was quite dutiful, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Zuo for your love, it's just that I have some official business, so I should go back to my life first to have an explanation." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bei was inconvenient to keep more, so he personally sent General Lin out of the city, and then returned to General Zuo's mansion.
