A rich fragrance emanated from the backyard of Jiangfu, and the entire Pingshan Town was filled with a mellow and gloomy smell.

This fragrance overshadowed the fragrance of stewed chicken and fried meat in the kitchen during the New Year, causing people to sniff and praise a few words of "good fragrance" from time to time.

A small courtyard in Jiangfu, the courtyard door is locked, and there are two men guarding in front of the door, their faces are slightly red, and it seems that they are a little drunk just by inhaling the air with the smell of wine.

There is a strange device in the courtyard, an inverted trumpet-shaped wooden barrel and a sealed iron barrel, which are connected by bamboo barrels, and the joints are sealed with cow glue so that there is no air leakage.

The strange device is home-made, Jiang Anyi once instructed Uncle Wang to pay attention to recruiting some people with special skills, Uncle Wang faithfully carried out the instructions of the eldest young master according to his understanding, there are farmers who can farm the land, carpenters and masons who can make houses, and the second uncle of the stone is a blacksmith, and the Jiang family is now full of talents.

The wooden barrel is covered by the pot, the pot is placed in the home-brewed sweet wine, the fire is lit under the pot, the wine rises after boiling, and the wine gas flows into the iron barrel on the side from the top of the curved bamboo pipe, and the wine gas is condensed into liquor in the iron barrel, and the liquor flows into the wine pot through the wine outlet pipe at the bottom, which is the original still designed by Jiang Anyi with his memory.

An hour later, the pot containing the wine finally had half a pot, the wine was colorless, and the fragrance was tangy, Jiang Anyong tasted it, and a stream of fire ran down his throat, so hot that he coughed again and again.

Guo Huaili learned a lesson, dipped his fingers in the pot, tasted it in his mouth, and said: "This wine smells so fragrant, as soon as it enters the throat, it is like swallowing fire, it is uncomfortably spicy, cough cough, this is really fucking liquor, but who will drink this kind of throat-burning wine." ”

Guo Haiqing heard that there would be wine today, so he came early in the morning. I heard that there was another rich business, and the Yu family was not far behind, and the third master, Yu Zhihe, also arrived.

The cup is thin and the wine is clear, in Guo Haiqing's eyes, these wines are more valuable than gold, hearing his son say that no one will drink such wine, Guo Haiqing sneered: "You know a fart, in the eyes of the Northern Desert people, this kind of wine is their life." ”

Yu Zhihe gently shook the wine glass, smelled the wine intoxicatedly, and said with a little regret: "This wine is really fragrant, but it's a pity that the taste is too strong, except for a few people who drink too little, can it only be sold to the Northern Desert, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Jiang Anyi had an idea, asked An Yong to take four large bowls, pour half a bowl of sweet wine each, and then add as many steamed wines as he wanted to each bowl, and signaled with a smile.

After tasting the mixed wine, Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe's eyes were full of gold stars.

Guo Haiqing is a businessman, sobered up from the ecstasy, calculated the cost, and asked: "Anyi, how much sweet wine does this catty of steamed wine cost?" ”

Jiang Anyi didn't count, and estimated casually: "About one out of ten." ”

"This wine is about 20 wen a catty, and if you say 1 out of 10, it is 200 wen a catty, oh my God, I am rich." Guo Hai liquidated to the back, and couldn't help but let out a cry of ecstasy, which was a feeling of being hit by Jin Shan.

Yu Zhihe also smiled and said: "It is easy to buy village brew, but the price will rise if the quantity is large, I mean to buy as much as possible, and I can make some at home, and I will build a wine shop by myself in the future, so that the food is not worried, and the way to come is easy to say." The four famous wines, it's time to replace them with the five famous wines, what is the best name for a loud name? ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, in the past few years, we have been supplying the north first, and the excess is sold in our own shop. Anyi, you made this wine, and you will choose the name. Guo Haiqing blinked his eyes and patted Jiang Anyi's ass.

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "Just now Brother Guo said that this wine burns his heart, so let him burn the knife." ”

"Good", "wonderful".

Next is the time to distribute benefits, four, three, three, this time the Jiang family accounts for forty percent, with the rise of Jiang Anyi, the Yu family does not dare to take the big, and the Guo family is even more close, lest Jiang Anyi leave them. The Yu family was in charge of grain, wineries, and official affairs, the Guo family was responsible for sales, production, and commerce, and the Jiang family still invested in technology, and science and technology were verified as the primary productive forces as early on.

Jiang Anyi wanted to set up the winery in that fishing area, which was safe and confidential, but before he could speak, Guo Huaili proposed it first. Everyone walked on the spot and settled down. Secrecy was paramount, and the people who produced the barrels were closely guarded, and the manpower problem was solved by the Yu government.

Pushed everything to An Yong, Jiang Anyi enjoyed it with peace of mind, this time he only had a short ten days to go home, and he was going to leave on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the court meeting on the twentieth day of the first month.

Parting will also become a habit when it becomes the norm, although there is too much reluctance, the family still sent Jiang Anyi away, Jiang Anyi's road has just begun, it is conceivable that it will be impossible to be with his family most of the time in the future, maybe all this will change when Jiang Anyi is strong enough and strong enough to control his own destiny.

Grandpa Shi asked Jiang Anyi to give Shi a nice name, called He Xigui, and it is a great thing for his grandson to follow Zhuangyuan Gong to read and write, Jiang Anyi entered Beijing, and Shi naturally had to follow.

When I came to Anyang Mansion on the ninth day of the first month, I wanted to go to Anyang Palace's New Year's Mansion, and I took a look at my righteous brother Fang Zhizhong. Fang Zhizhong did not come back together when he went home this time, and Jiang Huang's family chatted from the New Year to the New Year, and gave Fang Zhizhong food and clothes in large and small packages. Of course, you can't be empty-handed for New Year's greetings, and the two jars of five-pound burning knives that are brewed are gifts.

Shizi Shi Fangdao looked sad, and he forced a smile when he entertained Jiang Anyi, there should be something troublesome, Jiang Anyi thought that he would leave quickly after eating, the troubles of the palace were not something he could help, and he couldn't even mess with it.

If you don't want to cause trouble, you will come to the door, eat and drink tea, Shi Fang said: "Anyi, I want to ask you for help when I enter Beijing this time." ”

The prince spoke, of course Jiang Anyi had to agree, and he had to pretend to be chivalrous on the bitter surface of his heart and said: "The prince is polite, please give orders." ”

"Alas, I don't know if An Yi has heard of it, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to summon the daughter of the county king of the right age in the world to enter Beijing, and the chosen one canonized the princess, intending to make peace with the Northern Desert." Shi Fangdao has a girl who is fifteen years old, and it happens to be within the requirements for entering Beijing, I heard that this idea is Wei Yishen's idea, Shi Fangdao can't wait to strangle this old bastard, what is the place in the Northern Desert, and the sister will die soon.

However, the holy order was difficult to disobey, and Shi Zhiming, the king of Anyang, denied Shi Fangdao's proposal to let his sister call him sick, and said, "This is the life of the Shi family", handed over the matter to Shi Fangdao, and returned to Yangyizhuang by himself.

Although Shi Qiuyun is not a fellow of Shi Fangdao, Shi Fangdao has a good relationship with his sister, and after learning of his fate, Shi Qiuyun cried a few times and accepted his fate. Shi Fangdao is worried about sending someone to send his sister into Beijing, Wei Mengqiang, as the captain of the palace guard, must be inseparable, Fang Zhizhong is a good hand, but unfortunately he has never been to the capital.

Just hesitating, Jiang Anyi came, Shi Fangdao already knew from his father that Jiang Anyi was a master, or that kind of very high master, with him protecting his sister, everything was fine. Of course, the palace also had to send people, and Fang Zhizhong took a hundred guards to report. When he set off, the big car and the small car were in a long row, and Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, so that he could still rush to Beijing on the 20th day of the first month.

Shi Fangdao said with a smile: "Anyi, don't worry, I will let my father give the son of heaven to the emperor, and explain that you will escort the county lord into Beijing by the way, even if you can't reach the capital on the 20th, I think the Son of Heaven will not be less rewarded for your hard work." ”

It has to be like this, but it seems that his relationship with the Anyang Royal Mansion is getting closer and closer, and Master Yu has repeatedly warned not to fall too deep, and now it seems that it is difficult to get out of the quagmire.

Wuli Pavilion said goodbye, a carriage was parked by the pavilion, Li Shicheng stood on the side of the road with a smile and waited, "Anyi, why don't you say goodbye, don't forget that you and I are in-laws, I made a special trip to send my sister to kiss." ”

After the death of Master Li, Li Shicheng's family was struggling to live in Li Zhuang again. Li Shicheng simply sold the gem that Jiang Anyi gave to Dong'er, got 4,800 taels of silver, moved to Anyang Mansion with his family, bought a house, and studied in Zechang Academy, which was convenient for taking care of the family.

When Jiang Anyi came to Anyang Palace, he was seen by Li Shicheng on the street, and when he went home to discuss it, he saw that Jiang Anyi's consciousness had no intention of marrying Dong'er at all. And Dong'er is a dead eye, thinking that if he accepts the dowry, he should marry a chicken and follow the chicken, not to mention that in his brother's mouth, this champion is suave and suave, and he is a good companion who can not be found.

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly and just wanted to explain a few words, the curtain of the car was raised, and Dong'er, who was dressed in red, was helped down from the car by his brother, walked in front of him, glanced at Jiang Anyi generously, and said with a bow: "Dong'er has seen Gongzi." ”

Dong'er saw that Jiang Anyi was really as handsome as his brother said, and there was a scar on the tip of his right eyebrow, which added to his heroic spirit, and he was happy in his heart.

Shi Fangdao asked curiously, "What's going on?" ”

Li Shicheng didn't want to let go of the opportunity to make friends with the son, and Jiang Anyi was not allowed to say that he would talk about Xu Qin in the dark in the dark "horn and horn", Jiang Anyi could only smile bitterly, and there was really no way to meet an amateur storyteller.

Shi Fangdao listened with great interest, and asked a few details from time to time. After his curiosity was fully satisfied, His Royal Highness the Prince began to be the master of the people, and smiled at Jiang Anyi: "Anyi, this is a good story, not to mention that Miss Dong'er is as beautiful as a fairy, this is a blessing that cannot be sought, and this prince is also very envious, if you don't want to, then give me Miss Dong'er." ”

Shi Fangdao's joke made Dong'er raise her eyebrows, took a few steps back, took out a pair of scissors from her sleeve and put them across her neck, looked at Jiang Anyi and said: "Jiang Gongzi, I, Li Dong'er, accept your dowry and be your person, if you don't agree or want to transfer me to someone else, then I will die here." ”

Martyr, Shi Fangdao was in awe, and said with a straight face: "Don't be annoyed, Miss Dong'er, Xiao Wang is joking, please forgive me." An Yi, don't let Miss Dong'er put down the scissors. ”

Jiang Anyi was helpless, so he had to say: "Miss Dong'er, there is no need for this, let's think about this matter in the long run." ”

So, there was another carriage in the team entering Beijing, but fortunately, there was no shortage of people waiting in the palace, and Shi Fangdao was concerned about two maids to serve Dong'er.

After drinking the parting wine, Shi Fangdao and his sister said goodbye, and the team began to move slowly under the protection of a hundred guards, and suddenly, the sound of eager horses' hooves sounded behind him, and a rouge horse galloped over.
