Chapter 43: The Grape Problem Solved
(Thank you for the 100 coins reward from l599xl again~)
In this regard, Ning Xiu didn't feel any surprise.
Uncle Chang has always walked sideways, and it is not normal to be bullied by others if he can bear it.
With Wu Changbo's status, it is not difficult to protect Uncle Chang, but at most he will be impeached, but it will not hurt his muscles and bones.
"The little uncle is quick to talk and has a true temperament. However, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, and the methods of the Lu family have always been despicable. If it is difficult to prevent black feet in the ground, it is better for the little uncle to pay more attention. ”
"Hmm."
After eating Ning Xiu's fried chicken pizza so much, Uncle Chang still has to give Ning Xiu face.
"Brother Ning Xian can rest assured. The guards of my Wuchang Earl's Mansion are not muddy, so I just bring more guards with me. But Brother Ning Xian should be careful. ”
Chang Feng's words are not unreasonable.
After all, he came to Jingzhou to study and return to Wuchang sooner or later. When it comes to Wuchang, it is the territory of the Chang family, and no matter how long the Lu family's hand is, it can't reach the Earl's Palace. At most, it is just a matter of impeaching the old earl in terms of relations and using public opinion to stir up trouble.
It's Ning Xiu who is not in danger here.
After all, the Ning family is not a big family, and there are basically no guards in the house, so if there is a conflict, it will be a problem to protect themselves.
"Ning has also considered this, and Ning will recruit some guards in the next few days."
With the rise of the Ning family, countless wealthy families are eyeing each other.
Not only private dishes, soap, but also wine and more in the future.
There is more than one Lu family in this world who suffers from pink eye.
Today there is Lu Dashao, tomorrow there will be Li Dashao and Wang Dashao.
You can't expect Uncle Chang to castrate those evil young men as soon as a conflict breaks out.
Moreover, in many cases, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, so it is necessary to raise a doorman guard.
The Yi Ning family's current financial resources can't support too many guards, but there is still no problem with a dozen people.
It is important that these people have a clean background and that their sources are reliable.
Otherwise, if there is a fire in the backyard, some Ning Xiu can bear it.
"You can find Mao Xiu for this matter. Who is better than his Zhang family in Jingzhou. The Zhang family ascended to the top and shouted, and countless guests rushed in, isn't it beautiful for Brother Ning Xian to take it? ”
"Ahem, you can't talk nonsense. Where does the Zhang family have the kind of energy that the little uncle said. ”
Zhang Maoxiu hurriedly coughed and interrupted: "If that's the case, I won't be beaten on the same day and month as a few people." ”
"Ah, hahahaha, interesting, interesting."
Uncle Chang smiled heartlessly, and everyone looked at each other.
Is this joke funny? Or is Uncle Chang's laughter too low?
Ning Xiu deliberately broke the embarrassing atmosphere and took the initiative to change the topic: "Have you heard that the Lu family buys grapes in large quantities every summer every year?" ”
Zhang Maoxiu nodded: "This Zhang has heard that it is said that the head of the Lu family likes to take grape baths, so he needs a large amount of fresh grapes to squeeze the juice. Because of this, the grapes in the market are out of stock. ”
No way! This head of the Lu family is really a pervert.
Squeezing grape juice for a bath? This is something that has never been heard of for a long time.
Ning Xiu had only heard of milk baths, but he had never heard of grape baths. These wealthy gate valves really know how to play!
How much juice can be squeezed out by a bunch of grapes, no wonder the Lu family can buy out the grapes.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road.
It seems that when the next batch of grapes comes down, Ning Xiu has to buy the grapes first.
"What's the matter, Brother Ning Xian suddenly mentioned this because he wanted to eat grapes?"
Zhang Maoxiu looked at Ning Xiu with interest.
"Ahem, you can't talk nonsense about eating grapes, it's easy to cause ambiguity."
Ning Xiu smiled and said, "But Ning does want to buy grapes, in order to make wine." ”
There was nothing unusual about the wine itself, so Ning Xiu didn't hide anything. What is important is the modern winemaking process, which only he has mastered. As long as he doesn't say it, no one in Daming has yet been able to make modern wine in the true sense of the word.
"Winemaking? Ning Xiandi shouldn't be making wine, right? ”
Zhang Maoxiu pondered for a moment and said: "Although the fruit wine tastes sweet and fragrant, the wine taste is too light, similar to drinking sour plum soup, is this thing really worth brewing?" ”
The brewing process of the Ming Dynasty has been very developed, not only rice wine, but also highly distilled liquor.
Only fruit wine is not loved.
Because making wine with fruit is not as easy to control as using grain, it will be sour and rancid when it is often brewed. Coupled with the low alcohol content, it is actually difficult for fruit-flavored drinks to replace the status of rice wine and rice wine.
The wine market has been largely half-dead since the Tang Dynasty, and only occasionally you can see this kind of wine in the countryside, and most of the small towns do not see it.
"To be honest, the wine that Ning wants to make is not the same thing as the wine in Brother Maoxiu's mouth at all. Ning's wine is really intoxicating! ”
Although the alcohol content of wine is low, you will get drunk if you drink too much, especially those that are old, and you will have a lot of stamina after drinking too much.
The little uncle often listens to it, and his eyes shine.
"That relationship is good, drinking rice wine and rice wine every day has long been annoying. Brother Ning Xian quickly turned into a supernatural power. ”
Ning Xiu has a row of black lines on his face, in the eyes of the little uncle, he won't be a juggling god image, right?
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the next batch of grapes to come down. ”
Ning Xiu spread out his hands with an expression of what could I do, and I was also very helpless.
Zhang Maoxiu said with a smile: "This may not be. There are still some grapes on Zhang's house, or Brother Ning Xian picked them to make wine and drank them. ”
Uh, how does that sound weird......
"Thank you, Brother Mao, can I buy these grapes at the market price?"
Zhang Maoxiu waved his hand and said: "This is easy to say, even if you give it to Brother Ning Xian, it's only a few hundred catties anyway." ”
Ning Xiu: "......"
This third prince seems to be a loser's thing.
Who made his Zhang family have a big business and can withstand defeat!
"Ahem, then I have to go back to Wuchang later, and I have to drink wine before leaving."
Ning Xiu was almost scared to death when he heard this, Uncle Chang stayed for a few more months, and Ning Ji Restaurant still had to lose money?
"The little uncle didn't know that the wine that Ning was going to make was not like the previous category, and the brewing period was very long, as little as a few months, or as long as several years. The longer it lasts, the better the taste. ”
Chang Feng's eyes widened and said, "How many years? No way? ”
Ning Xiu pushed his nose and said: "It's not for nothing, but this is not in line with Ning's style of acting, I will definitely bottle it for sale in a few months." ”
Everyone: "......"
Chang Feng sighed and said, "That's a pity." If it weren't for this, I would have been out there for a few months. But as soon as this incident happened to the Lu family, I was afraid that I would have to go back to Wuchang immediately. ”
Ning Xiu comforted: "Little uncle doesn't have to sigh, Ning Mou will definitely send the little uncle to the Wuchang Earl's Mansion as soon as he makes the wine." ”
