The rest of the days were all about waiting.

Wait for the food to arrive. Fan Li asked the imperial court to allocate 20 quintals of grain for experiments, wheat was used to make koji, sorghum to make wine, Jiangnan was a rice producing area, and the bran husk of rice was the best mixture for distilled liquor.

Then wait for the arrival of Wu Ban, to build a small and large-scale brewing workshop, you need houses, venues, and equipment, all of which must be completed by Wu Ban.

There is one person to wait, that is, Chen Wu, the son of the old man Chen Jing, Chen Wu is young, has a family heirloom wine-making technical foundation, and lives by the Rose River, where the river water is the most suitable for winemaking. If he is a man who can do things through the inspection, the brewery will be handed over to him.

While waiting, Fan Li was not idle. He was doing several things, first of all, he was surveying the site, where was suitable for making koji, where was suitable for fermentation, where was suitable for distillation, where was the drying field, where was it used to crush grain, what kind of house needed to be built, and through many days of surveying, he had a picture in his heart.

There is also the scale, how much scale is needed and how much wine is produced to meet the needs of Wu State. This needs to be determined after the first drink.

There is another thing, that is, to talk about it, talk with the old man Chen Jing, talk to his daughter-in-law okra, talk repeatedly, talk about every technical requirement, talk about every operation detail.

Old man Chen Jing has recovered his health, but he is old, and after a serious illness, his body is weak, and it is not easy to regain his strength. He can't work, but he can talk.

Fan Li said: "Old man, can't we make music now?" ”

Chen Jing said, "Yes." It takes a month to make koji, so we'll start making it now, and when your workshop is ready, the koji will be ready to use. ”

Fan Li said: "Okay, let's ferment the koji now." ”

It was around this time that the stone grinding stone mill invented by Lu Ban had been passed on here. This greatly facilitates the process of crushing grain.

Pick out some high-quality wheat, which is the best ingredient for making koji. When it is completely cleaned up, it is crushed. Pushing and grinding is a relatively heavy physical work, and it is not enough to rely on okra. So Fan Li also went up to push and grind.

Okra is gone: "My lord, who are you?" How can you do this? ”

Fan Li said: "Why can't I do this? If I do it with my sister, it will be faster. ”

The old man Chen Jing said: "My lord, you have to take care of your identity, the general can't do this." Why don't I ask the village chief to send someone to help?" ”

Fan Li said solemnly: "Don't! Old man, I would like to announce here a rule, that in the future when our wine is made, all the techniques here must be kept absolutely secret. In other words, we are the only ones in the world who can make such a sake. If the technology spreads and anyone can make wine, my plan will fail. From this day forward, we are not allowed to be seen by anyone, which means that no one is allowed to approach this place. ”

Old man Chen Jing said: "Okay, everything is up to adults. ”

Fan Li took off his long shirt, changed into short clothes, and said, "Sister, let's do it." ”

Okra has always been in a state of great excitement. She never dreamed that the supreme military commander of the Yue Kingdom would be able to fight with her. Fan Li is the most beautiful man in the world, who only existed as a legendary character before, and now suddenly appears in his own life, eats with him, works together, and even has physical contact. It's a blessing that fell from the sky.

She sometimes can't believe it's true. Secretly pinching his face, thinking, this can't be a dream, right?

This big man is not only beautiful and good-looking, but also has an easy-going personality and has no arrogance at all. It is not as majestic as imagined, and there are many people hugging each other, and it is impossible to see it.

Okra and Chen Wu were married for only a few months, and Chen Wu went to serve as a soldier. Throwing okra at home is a very harsh reality. If it weren't for Fan Li's arrival, okra might have been hopeless for an unknown amount of time, maybe a war had been fought, and Chen Wu would have been gone. Whether she remarries or not, that hopeless gray life will stay with her for the rest of her life.

"Squeak! Squeak! ”

Shi Nian is whispering, singing love songs, telling infinite love.

Old man Chen Jing went back to rest. Only Fan Li and okra were left in the mill. People are turning, the stone grinding is turning, the two are concentrating on work, only the stone grinding is "squeaking" and singing. Okra's face was red, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. This can't help but be tiring from work, but also due to excitement and excitement.

She stopped, took off her cotton clothes, and immediately revealed the bright spots. Fan Li couldn't help but look stunned. What a stunner.

Okra found that Fan Li was looking at him, lowered her head deeply, and smiled "eat, eat".

"What do you see, sir? Is okra worth a look? ”

"Girl, you're so good-looking."

"What kind of woman hasn't seen it, adult!"

"Fan Li has seen a lot of women. You're good-looking, though. ”

"Your Lady's wife must be beautiful."

"Yes! She's good-looking, but dead! ”

"Gah!" The stone mill stopped. Okra's face was frightened: "Adult......"

Fan Li waved his hand: "She has been dead for almost twenty years." On the night when the Wu army besieged Huiji Mountain......"

Okra came over and wiped the sweat on Fan Li's forehead with a sweat towel: "My lord, you are so pitiful!" ”

Fan Li sighed, took the sweat towel, wiped the sweat off Okra's face, but wiped her tears down.

Fan Li patted Okra's shoulder: "Thank you, sister, I feel so sorry for Fan Li." ”

Okra said, "My lord, didn't you look for another lady?" ”

Fan Li said: "The world is strife, the war is in chaos, and Fan Li doesn't even have a home......

Okra said: "My lord, find another one, you are a big person, you are so good-looking, you want to find any kind of woman." ”

Fan Li thought of Xi Shi Zheng Dan, and his heart was stunned. "Sister, thank you for your concern, wait until the day when the country is successfully restored."

He wiped the tears from Okra's face. "Girl, your heart is so good!"

Okra said: "Okra thanks God for allowing Okra to live with adults for a while. Okra is not a fool. I know you're leaving, as soon as things are arranged here. Maybe okra will never be able to look at you again in this life, but that's enough. Okra is lucky enough compared to other women in the world. I will always remember you, my lord! ”

Fan Li said: "My sister is a good girl. I will remember you too. Fan Li is just an ordinary man, not as exaggerated as you say. ”

Okra smiled shyly: "My lord, you may not know that as soon as women in the world see you, they will have a common wish, that is, to lie down!" ”

Fan Li also smiled: "You said that Fan Li is a devil." ”

Okra looked at Fan Li greedily and said, "You are not a devil, but you have magic power stronger than the devil." ”

Fan Li shook his head and said: "Sister, let me tell you a real situation, Fan Li has eaten irregularly over the years, has no fixed residence, and has not slept peacefully. There are also girls who like Fan Li, but whoever likes Fan Li is unlucky. None of the people who like Fan Li have a good life. Fan Li is ashamed! ”

Okra said: "I don't know about adults, but I can say that none of those women who like you have regretted it." Is that right? ”。

Fan Li shook his head: "It is this that makes Fan Li sad." I often call myself a scourge. ”
