Chapter 30: Pour a Cup
Li Siwen squatted on the city wall for a day, looking in the direction of Li Mu's house, and sighed incessantly. At this time, Wang Hu climbed up and said, "Childe, the general has a letter." β
"My dad?" Li Siwen hurriedly took the letter from Wang Hu's hand, and after checking the fire paint, he didn't carry Wang Hu on his back, and opened it directly.
"Uh-......, alas......!" Li Siwen unconsciously interjected while reading the letter, the letter was very long, there were three pages, after reading it, Li Siwen sighed, folded the paper, put it back in the envelope, and put it in his arms. When Wang Hu saw him like this, he didn't have to guess to know that he must have been reprimanded. At this time, Wang Hu didn't know what to say, thought for a long time, and said, "It's okay, I'm going to patrol!" β
"Don't worry," Li Siwen stopped Wang Hu and said, "Come with me to Li Mu's house first, he hasn't come to the construction site for a day, I'm afraid he's angry." β
Wang Hu said stiffly: "Ruining people's futures, anyone will be angry." β
"How can I ruin his future? Where did I ruin his future! Li Siwen was annoyed and angry, and said: "I regard him as a brother, is it too much for brothers to help each other?" β
Wang Hu didn't save face for him at all, and said: "It also depends on whether people are willing or not, and they don't call the shots without greeting anyone, it's not a brother's doing!" β
"You!" Li Siwen clenched his teeth, raised his fist and gestured, and said hatefully: "If I can't beat you, you see if I can beat you!" β
Wang Hu ignored it directly, turned around and went down the city, without the slightest fear. He is Li Ji's personal soldier, not a slave of the Li family. What is a pro-soldier? Those were the dead soldiers who guarded Li Ji's life on the battlefield, and as long as they didn't die, Li Ji would never be in danger. Wang Hu is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve and has been following Li Ji for more than ten years, and is his absolute confidant and absolute trust. To what extent is there trust? For the same thing, if what Li Siwen said is inconsistent with what Wang Hu said, Li Ji will believe Wang Hu but not Li Siwen. Therefore, Li Siwen would never dare to regard Wang Hu as a subordinate, and even more so if he did it, if his father knew, he would have a leather whip.
Coming down from the city, the two rode to Li Mu's house. General Tie opened the door, Li Siwen pulled the lock, and wondered: "Where are the people, could it be that they are on the side of the camp?" β
"Hmm," Wang Hu replied vaguely, his nose twitching. Seeing this, Li Siwen said, "Brother Wang, are you having convulsions?" β
"Wine!" Wang Hu dropped a word and drove the horse forward. His nose was navigation, and he was not far away, and soon found the door of the shop at the end of the street. The door was not closed, Wang Hu looked inside, and it was Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao who were busy.
"Found it!" Wang Hu shouted and pointed to the door. This voice came out, not only Li Siwen heard it, but Li Mu also heard it. Li Mu looked back and saw that it was Wang Hu and Li Siwen, and hurriedly shouted: "Lady, the robbery is coming, go and close the door!" β
How could Bai Qiaoqiao really go to the pass, glanced at him, and came to the door to greet Li Siwen and Wang Hu. Li Siwen shouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Li Mu, you are also stingy. I actually hid at home and drank secretly, where did I get the good wine, the taste is so strong, is it the Hu people's Sanle pulp? β
The talker had already broken in, and when he saw the huge distillation equipment in front of him, Li Siwen was so shocked that his mouth grew and said, "What is this!" You're actually making wine?! β
"Surprised?" Li Mu threw a piece of wood into the stove, now it is the process of distillation, it needs to be heated constantly to let the wine vaporize out, what Wang Hu just smelled is the wine gas. The wine slowly rises and enters the cooling pipe, where it re-condenses into a liquid as the temperature drops, and drops into the jar at the end of the unit.
"My good brother, you can even make wine! What else wouldn't you have! Li Siwen sighed, his face was full of admiration, and he said that the person had moved to the side of the wine jar, Li Mu hurriedly stopped him and said, "You can't drink!" β
Li Siwen turned a deaf ear, grabbed a bowl, reached into the wine jar and scooped a bowl, Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop it, he raised his head and simmered it.
Li Mu looked at it and felt spicy, and grinned unconsciously, why is this ramming mouth so urgent, the degree of this Dao wine is as high as seventy or eighty degrees, and it must be blended or distilled again before it can be drunk, he, a person who has traveled through later generations, dare not try, Li Siwen, a Tang Dynasty man who grew up drinking low-alcohol wine, who gave him the courage!
Li Siwen's face quickly reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes gradually became dull and straight, and there seemed to be liquid flowing down his mouth, Li Mu couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked carefully, "How do you feel?" Would you like to drink some water? β
"It's so strong...... Wine, ......" After barely saying this, Li Siwen rolled his eyes and fell on his back. Li Mu hurriedly caught him, and he could smell the wine two feet away from his face, choking people so much that they couldn't breathe, so don't turn their heads quickly.
"I should be drunk, it's okay!" Li Mu checked it and made a judgment. Together with Wang Hu, he carried Li Siwen to the kang in the front yard and let him sleep.
"Is this wine really that strong?" Back in the backyard workshop, Wang Hu looked at the wine in the jar and felt that in addition to being a little clearer and a little stronger, there seemed to be nothing powerful. Li Mu was speechless for these naΓ―ve Tang Dynasty people, took a bowl and scooped half a bowl for him, and said, "If you want to drink, take it to the front yard to drink, you are such a big person, I can't move it." β
Wang Hu nodded, took the bowl to the front yard, and did not come back.
Bai Qiaoqiao took a look and came back and said, "Lang Jun, both of them are sleeping to death, is this wine so strong?" β
"Don't try!" Li Mu hurriedly stopped, this is seventy or eighty degrees of wine, who knows what the consequences will be if you drink it in your stomach. Those two fools drank too much, and their wives couldn't take that risk. Li Mu explained: "Lady, it's not that you won't be allowed to drink, you can't drink it yet, and now this wine is not finished...... Well, it can be called 'alcohol' at the moment, and it needs to be blended before drinking. β
"I see, then I'll taste it again when it's ready." Bai Qiaoqiao was convinced of Li Mu's words, because she just didn't believe that Li Mu could make wine, but she didn't expect him to really make it. Since Li Mu came back this time, everything she did was beyond her expectations, and now that she has made such a good wine, Bai Qiaoqiao has been completely convinced of him.
"Lang Jun, I'll help you fill the firewood."
"Good!" Li Mu climbed on top of the steamer to add water, and replied casually: "Just fill it slowly, the main thing is steaming, the fire is too urgent, it will be boiled dry, and the fire will be fine." β
"Well, I see."
Bai Qiaoqiao responded, and before the words fell, a voice came from behind him: "Sister, brother-in-law, are you making wine?" Haha, I have to try it! β
"Don't drink!"
Bang Dang! One more drunk person!
