The Xiahou clan is good, but they are only a child in Guan Ping. It's a housewife again, and I really can't talk about it together.

After eating, Zhang Bao took Guan Ping around his house.

The Zhang family, like the Guan family, is a three-entry house. But the Zhang family is different from the Guan family, which also shows the difference between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu is a person who treats soldiers well, so the Guan family has few maidservants, and more disabled soldiers are raised, as well as dead soldiers, or the son of a soldier who is Guan Ping's retinue.

Guan Yu's governance of the army is like raising a son, you died for me, your son is my grandson, and I raised him the same.

Zhang Fei is different, this stupid cute person often drinks and beats soldiers after drinking. He will not raise the wounded and disabled soldiers at all, and the teenagers left behind by the soldiers.

Therefore, there are many maidservants in the house, and even Zhang Bao has two good-looking personal maids.

This really makes Guan Ping very envious, this is the life of a serious yamen. There are dogs outside to open the way, and there are beautiful maids to warm the bed, how good, how beautiful.

By the way, the difference between the Guan family and the Zhang family is that there is a lot of wine in the Zhang family's cellar. Of course, Guan Yu also likes to drink, but he tries his best to restrain himself. Because sake brewing requires food, and there is currently a shortage of grain in Shinno.

But Zhang Fei doesn't care if Xinye is short of food, even if he drinks the blood of soldiers, he has to get enough food and brew wine.

Zhang Bao took Guan Ping to his wine cellar, the wine cellar was dark and cold, Zhang Bao carried an oil lamp, and looked at the Tibetan wine in front of him.

"Not only does my family have a large collection of sake, but my father also has a group of wine-making workers. Even if the lord's house has no wine, he will come to my house to get it. ”

Guan Ping glanced at Zhang Bao, who was dancing with his eyebrows, this guy was obviously also an alcoholic, just like his bastard father.

But this guy's drinking is okay, at least I haven't heard of this guy making trouble after drinking.

Guan Ping looked at the wine in front of him, and a hazy thought appeared in his mind, but he wanted to catch it, but there was no trace.

Today I was beaten by Jian Yong, came to Zhang's house for dinner, and was taken by Zhang Bao to see the wine cellar.

Guan Ping looked at what happened today, and couldn't help but understand what he wanted to do.

Speaking of Jian Yong, there is an interesting thing recorded in the history books. There was a great drought, and wine production was made with food. So Liu Bei ordered a ban on winemaking. Officials were too strict in enforcing the law, and they also arrested people who had brewing utensils in their homes, which caused displeasure. Once Jian Yong and Liu Bei traveled and saw a pair of men and women walking together. Jian Yong said, "These two people are going to commit adultery." Liu Bei was surprised and asked why he said that. Jian Yong said that he has his tools. Liu Bei laughed and let go of those who had wine-making utensils. This is a condensation of Jian Yong's lifelong comical humor. ”

Guan Ping had a flash of inspiration in his mind and remembered this. Looking at the many wine stores in the cellar, Guan Ping understood what he was going to do.

Guan Yu fished, Zhang Fei hunted, and Xinye was desperately short of food.

If you want to have food, it is simple, send troops to capture more cities, have more people, and naturally have food.

But the problem is that now is not the time when the world is in turmoil, now that Cao Cao in the north has become a force, Cao Cao is fortunate not to call at present, and it is impossible to send troops to the north to rob.

It is also impossible for Jingzhou in the south, and Liu Bei still has to rely on Liu Biao's support to survive.

So Liu Bei could only let Guan Yu go fishing and let Zhang Fei go hunting to replenish military supplies. Not to mention Liu Bei, even if Zhuge Liang comes, it is impossible to make Xinye's finances better.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

But I'm different. I can find ways to make the finances better, for example, winemaking.

The wine of this era, the original owner has drunk it, so he has a memory, the degree is very low, and the taste is not very good. So I can often see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drinking a few jars.

If you can increase the alcohol content and enhance the taste.

Guan Ping believes that this will have a big market.

If there is a product, there is a market, and even the enemy can sell it.

Historically, Bashu produced Shu brocade, which is a unique product of Bashu. Shu Han relied on Shu brocade to export Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, and obtained a large amount of financial revenue, which then supported the Northern Expedition of Shu.

So theoretically speaking, if you can make good wine, you can even sell it to the north to earn gold and silver, even if you can't sell it in the north, you can also go west to Bashu, east to Wuhui to sell, in short, as long as there is good wine, there is no worry about sales.

Once there is a business, it can change the current embarrassment of Xinye's money and food, and Liu Bei can recruit troops.

When Cao Cao went south in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, if Liu Bei had a population of more than 100,000 and 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers in Xinye, then the eve of the Battle of Chibi would not be so embarrassing, and he could be more calm in dealing with Eastern Wu.

The so-called good liquor, of course, is distilled spirit.

Guan Ping is not familiar with distilled spirits, he only knows that distilled spirits need to be distilled and burned, and special distillation equipment is also needed. This is not winemaking, but the processing of the finished sake.

Makes a lower alcohol and obtains a more concentrated alcohol.

Guan Ping really doesn't understand this thing.

But it doesn't matter, doesn't the Zhang family have a special brewing staff. As long as you have talked about the little knowledge you know in your head, the principle tells the brewer that it should not be difficult to get distilled spirits.

Guan Ping can not learn and have no skills, and he can not know how to use soldiers, but Shu Han must be strong. Thinking of this, Guan Ping couldn't wait.

"Brother, take me to your brewing workshop, by the way, introduce me to your brewing master." Guan Ping turned his head and said to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao was introducing his own wine cellar with flying eyebrows, and was startled when he heard this. Turning his head to look at Guan Ping, he didn't know what this little brother was going to do.

But forget it.

It's not a big deal. As long as Guan Ping doesn't burn down, the brewing workshop will be.

"It's easy." Zhang Bao responded very refreshingly, and then carried the oil lamp out of the cellar with Guan Ping, the outside was very bright, and the oil lamp was not needed. Zhang Bao blew out the oil lamp and handed it back to his subordinates. Then he took his entourage and went straight to the Zhang family's brewing workshop with Guan Ping.

When Zhang Bao talks about wine, it is like the Yellow River, which stretches endlessly.

"Our home-made sake is not only for our own use, but also for the owner, and also for sale. Xinye City is small, there are few people, and the brewing workshop is only one of our family, and the profit is really not low. ”

"There is a master in the brewing workshop, surnamed Li Mingnian, who has followed my father for many years, and is a good hand at winemaking. There were 10 winemakers and 20 helpers. ”

With Zhang Bao's chattering introduction, everyone arrived at the Zhangjia brewing workshop. It is a building with a house structure, and a plaque hangs at the door that reads "Zhang Kee Wine Workshop".

Hehe, it's really the Zhang family's industry.

It is worthy of being an alcoholic, such as a mad man.

When you come here, the air smells of wine.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Zhang Bao walked in happily, and Guan Ping naturally followed.
