Chapter 29: The First Tasting Brewing

That night, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't leave, and when Li Mu finished eating, she withdrew the table, and the little two were tired, snuggled together, and lay down with their clothes. On weekdays, Li Mu had to touch and scratch a few times, but today he was so tired that he fell asleep without saying a few words in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms. Bai Qiaoqiao gently hugged him, and after a while, her eyelids sank, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, she hurriedly put Li Mu down gently, took the pillow and gave him a pillow, briefly freshened up in the yard, and went to the room to prepare breakfast.

By the time Li Mu woke up, Sun had already gone to the construction site to talk to the mother-in-law who was cooking. Bai Qiaoqiao was worried about Li Mu, so she asked Sun's help to tell her that she would come over later, and cooking at noon would be according to the old practice, and the vegetables and rice would be enough. In fact, even if she is not present, Sun will not make a mistake, after all, she is not yet forty years old, which is not old. I used to look old, because of worry and overwork, since this time, I have almost raised, and the whole person is a lot more radiant, otherwise I won't stay at home, and I will go to the construction site to chat with someone after eating.

"Lady, today you Langjun and I have to do a big thing!" Li Mu drank the porridge left for him by Bai Qiaoqiao with a slurp, and turned back to the front yard house, looking mysterious. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what the hell he was doing, but he could also think of the parts he got in the middle of the night yesterday, and he also followed in and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

"No, no, no, you can't move." Li Mu said while cleaning up: "In this way, you go to the construction site to help me call a few people, just say that I will give double the salary here, and find a young and strong one, you don't need too much, just four or five!" ”

"Well, I'll go." Bai Qiaoqiao heard that he needed four or five people to help, and knew that his strength would not work, so he hurriedly went out for fear of delaying Li Mu's major event.

After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao came back with four people, all of whom were young men about the same age as Li Mu. But they seem to be submissive in front of Li Mu, these days Li Mu has always arranged for them to work, and everyone knows that he is the county leader of this county. Although everyone is of the same age, their status is very different, so they naturally dare not be presumptuous. Li Mu had already divided the various parts into piles, and each of the four people was responsible for a pile, Li Mu stood at the door and pointed to the shop at the west end of the street, asking them to move all the parts over. The four lads each made two deliveries, and all the parts were delivered. Li Mu asked them to carry the grain again, carried the steam cooling pipe by himself, and the group tore open the seal at the door of the shop and rushed in.

According to Li Mu's instructions, the four of them built a large stove, which was used for steaming rice, put an iron pot, and put bricks on it to seal, and then Li Mu let them rest next to them, and they used their carpentry skills to start assembling distillation equipment.

After working hard and sweating, the distillation equipment was finally installed. Li Mu rubbed his hands and ordered someone to wash the rice and put it in the pot, and steam the rice! When the rice was steamed, he put in the 'three cups of poured koji' that he had bought for a tael of silver from the system, stirred it, and sealed the steamer.

"Okay, success or not, it's tonight!" Li Mu took out the money from his arms and gave it according to one day's wages, and the four of them were happy, worked for half a day, got two days' wages, and could still earn normal wages in the afternoon, earning more than double the inside and out.

Sent away the people who were working, Li Mu's stomach was also hungry, and he was about to go home to find something to eat, when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao coming in with a bamboo basket, Li Mu couldn't help laughing, no wonder he couldn't find her just now, it turned out that he was going home to cook. This feeling is really comfortable, there is someone around who can match you, and she will naturally appear in the right position when needed, this feeling may be called happiness.

"Lang Jun, what is this strange thing for?" Bai Qiaoqiao handed the bamboo basket to Li Mu, circled around the distillation equipment, and asked a little puzzled.

Li Mu bit the head of the nest in his mouth, and when he heard Bai Qiaoqiao's words, he swallowed the contents in his mouth and said, "This is what I invented to make wine." If it works, the wine made from it will be better and stronger than your father's wine! ”

"Really?" Bai Qiaoqiao looked at the strange machine in front of her, a little unconvinced, she didn't believe Li Mu, but she felt that Li Mu had never made wine, how could she invent a wine-making machine, her family was a wine shop, she had watched people make wine since she was a child, and she had never bought similar things, so Bai Qiaoqiao was skeptical about whether Li Mu could make wine.

Li Mu nodded, he is full of confidence now, and he is not very worried about whether he can make wine, because the system has never let him down, he has just used the brewing technique, the system shows that the conditions for using the skill have been reached, and the skill is used successfully, now wait for the fermentation time to end, and he can heat and distill again. The system showed that it would take eight hours for the "three cups to pour" to ferment, and Li Mu calculated that it would be about the same time when the sun was setting. So now he just has to wait and see the results.

Bai Qiaoqiao watched Li Mu eat, pursed her lips, and seemed to stop talking. Li Mu found out and said with a smile: "Can you really make wine, don't you believe in your Langjun's ability?" ”

Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "Lang Jun, I'm not thinking about this. I am...... Well, that's it, I'll get straight to the point. ”

"Say it!"

Bai Qiaoqiao said: "Lang Jun, I originally thought that you were going to partner with my father because you wanted him to contribute to making wine, so you would give him double the salary." But now it seems that he can't be used for brewing, so why do you have to partner, we can do this business ourselves. I know you love me, but after suffering such a big loss, I can't help it, and my mother can't explain it. ”

Li Mu laughed when he heard this, and said, "What a big deal I should be, my face is so solemn. Didn't you say it, he is your father, so he deserves my care. Besides, I didn't give him money for nothing, even if we could do this business ourselves, but I couldn't spend all my mind on doing business. You forget, I'm still the county magistrate of this county, and I have some official duties, so when I lack skills, won't your father come in handy. He has opened a liquor store for more than 20 years, and he still has experience in running it, and when it is inconvenient for me to come forward in the future, he can do a lot of things for me, so this money is not spent in vain. As for my mother's side, I haven't already said it, don't mention these things, if you don't talk about it, my mother can't think of it! ”

"But I'm upset!"

"With such a beautiful lady as you, I am still uneasy, I can't sleep every day, I'm afraid that someone will snatch it." Li Mu finished eating, and there was no one beside him, so his true nature was exposed, and he didn't get serious: "You are uneasy, I am uneasy, and I can't live anymore?" Family, don't always say these useless words. ”
