In the second year of Yonghui, August 14, it was sunny. Wu Kang single-handedly chased Huang Xiangu, was pitted by the little mare under the crotch, and was also pulled out of the cliff by it, and was also injured.

The little mare walked leisurely on the official road, and Wu Kang held a pot of wine in his hand, and was simply cleaning the wounds on his body. The liquor was bought from a liquor store, and it was the strongest soju, which was only about 20 degrees, and it could not reach the concentration of medical alcohol at all.

Wu Kang secretly decided that the alcohol must be distilled out and stored as much as possible in case of emergency. I don't know the design of the distillation equipment, whether Mr. Zhao has built it in the alley.

After cleaning up the wound, the rest of the temple of the five internal organs, anyway, Datang did not drink and drive. In fact, it was not the wine that interested him, but the leather jug for the wine, sewn from a whole piece of sheepskin. Qiao Feng Qiao Daxia has the same wine jug, hanging it on his waist, which is quite chivalrous.

Looking at the sun hanging in the southwest, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the gate of Wuzhou was closed at six o'clock, and there was less than twenty miles left, so there was no need to worry. Feeling a little slow, I gently clamped the horse's belly, but unfortunately the little mare didn't want to hang up and still walked slowly.

In desperation, he looked at both sides of the road, patches of green rice fields. Countless men, women, and children tied up their robes and toiled barefoot in the water. It's the middle of August, and another moon of rice is ripe, and the real autumn queen is coming.

I accidentally found that the ears of rice in the field were obviously much shorter than those of later generations, and the grains were not full. Pay attention to more than a dozen paddy fields in a row, and the ears of rice are all this virtue. I couldn't help frowning, as a child from the countryside, I deal with farmland all year round, and the yield of this kind of rice per mu is at most 200 catties.

I remember that Ruyan once said that there was no unit of measurement for "stone" in the Tang Dynasty, and the commonly used capacity units were from small to large, which were liters, buckets, hu, and bells. It is all in decimal, and according to later generations, it is about 60 kilograms. These are all fertile fields, with a yield of only two per mu and a low yield.

The yield of rice in later generations was often one or two thousand kilograms, which was a world of difference. It is no wonder that in ancient societies, hunger was everywhere at every turn, food production was low, and the ability to resist natural disasters was too poor. For a while, I felt a lot, I didn't have Mr. Yuan's ability, and I couldn't make hybrid rice; I didn't have the ability to cross the family's predecessors, I couldn't get a fleet, I couldn't go to the Americas, and I couldn't get high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find a way to increase production! In despair, I found a large area of wasteland on the right, about ten acres. More than a dozen people wielded sickles to weed, and there were several large piles of green bricks, mud and sand in the ground.

After a little thought, I realized that this was the inferior land given to me by the second generation, which was used to store the feces in Wuzhou City, and the blue bricks were used to build the courtyard wall and security room. I am very satisfied with the vigorous and resolute actions of the second generation, and at the same time I think of an idea that is not an idea.

In the spring of next year, the accumulated manure will be sold to nearby farmers. Even if you lose money, as long as it is within the acceptable range, you have to continue the transaction. With fertilizer in place, farmers can fetch more food and go hungry for two less days the next year.

I returned to Wuzhou without saying a word, rode a horse to the craftsman alley, and saw many strange situations. More than a dozen people pushed a cart loaded with building materials such as bricks and sand, and they should be going to their own homes in the direction. I also understood at the moment that this should be the person Xu Laozhang was looking for, and he will start building the kang tomorrow.

Follow them to the door of the house, because there are steps in front of the door, the rack car can only be parked outside, and the craftsmen line up to manpower to transfer the materials little by little. There were also many people in the courtyard, among whom two couples, old and young, caught his attention. The elderly couple is in their fifties, and the young couple is in their thirties. Dressed in sackcloth and directing the porters, they looked like the owners of the house.

Wu Kang looked up at the lintel, it was his own home. Just as he was about to get off the horse and ask, he casually glanced at the willow tree in the courtyard, where a little girl was tied with a hemp rope. If you look closely, you still know that it is the liar accomplice who was angry and cried at the Nancheng Land Temple today.

Wu Kangjue's brain is not enough, why did this little girl run away from my house, why was she tied with her hands and tied to the willow tree? In the kitchen on the east side of the puzzle room, the bad guy Zhou Hao walked out, came to the little lady, and handed her a cooking cake.

The little lady took the cake and gobbled it up, Zhou Hao pursed his lips and snorted, turned his head and found Wu Kang outside the door, turned around after a moment, and shouted at the main room with a loud voice: "Little lady, brothers, Wu Shuai is back, come out quickly." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the yard suddenly exploded, and Xiaocui ran out of the main house and ran here with a smoke. Seven or eight bad people followed, the family of four followed, and all the neighbors stopped what they were doing, and all their brains rushed over.

Everyone bowed down one after another, and Wu Kang was stunned on the spot. Xiao Cui saw Wu Kang's embarrassed appearance, and saw Yin Hong's wound, and cried with a wow.

Wu Kang has a big head, and he hurts me, why are you crying. jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Jiang Da Niu, smiled and comforted: "It's all skin trauma, it's no big deal, my life is hard and ruthless!" What is Ruyan busy with, my brother is here, how can she, as the hostess, be so lazy? ”

As soon as Xiao Cui saw Wu Kang picking the master's reason, she immediately forgot to cry her nose, and was impatient to excuse herself: "Lang Jun misunderstood!" Zheng Dalang, who joined the army in the judiciary, sent someone to invite the lady to discuss the matter of our ice shop. It didn't take long for Zheng Dalang to send a few slaves and maids, and they were them..."

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and give Lang Jun a salute", Xiao Cui pinched her waist and scolded the two couples. The four of them hurriedly saluted, followed by three young people, who should be the third generation of their family, two teenagers of about fifteen, and a young lady of about ten years old.

After they finished the ceremony, Xiaocui twittered and introduced: "They were all sent by Zheng Dalang, and they are still members of a family, and they have been practicing medicine for generations, because the lawsuit was degraded to slavery... Yikes! You are all Lang Zhong, hurry up and show Lang Jun the injury! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, my injury is not in a hurry", Wu Kang stopped Xiaocui, followed the example of Uncle Liu Huang, who sold good books, and threw Zhao Yun to be loyal.

Silently reciting the actor's self-cultivation, he looked at Jiang Daniu and said, "The injured brothers have all been arranged, has Zheng joined the army arranged Langzhong?" If you don't go to find it quickly, the consultation fee and medicine fee will be on the line, and you can't let the brothers shed blood and tears! ”

Not to mention, the effect is fantastic! The eyes of all the bad people were red, and Jiang Daniu clenched his fists and choked up: "It is a blessing for the brothers to follow Wu Shuai." Wu Shuai, please rest assured, Zheng has been arranged to join the army, and the pension will be issued soon. ”

Wu Kang nodded with satisfaction, looked through the crowd, the little lady tied to the tree, and asked Jiang Daniu: "What's the matter with her, why did she bring it to my house?" Zheng Senjun and Cui Gong have asked about the case, how did they deal with it? ”

Jiang Daniu replied: "Gong Zheng and Gong Cui have asked, and the case has been judged, and they are determined to be liars pretending to be gods." The four men resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot by the brothers. She was supposed to be sentenced to 60 canes and three years in prison, but Cui Gongnian was young and ignorant and was exempted from cane punishment. The little lady can't be locked in a prison cell, so Cui Gong will demote her to slavery and send her to you. ”

The little lady can't be locked in a prison cell? Wu Kang was a little puzzled. Jiang Daniu's mind was clear, and he leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "Wu Shuai Rongyu, if a woman is in prison, it is no different from cutting off their heads!" The jailer in the prison is not as good as a beast, this little lady is only nine years old, if she is imprisoned, I don't know what she will be ruined! ”

Wu Kang immediately realized that there were no juvenile prisons, no women's prisons, and no female jailers in the Tang Dynasty. If this girl is imprisoned, she really can't survive or die. glanced at the girl tied to the tree, and instructed Zhou Hao: "Go and let her go, the little girl can't make any waves, and Ben Shuai will not abuse the slave." ”

Zhou Hao did as he said, and Wu Kang asked the neighbors to be busy, so as not to delay the construction of the fire pit. When they continued to be busy, they handed over the reins of the horse to Xu Sanjiao and instructed: "This horse belongs to Gong Cui's family, and I forcibly borrowed it to chase Huang Xiangu, but unfortunately let her escape... San Lang helped me go to Cui's Mansion and return the horses to Zhao. If you see Cui Gong or Cui Wu, tell them, and Ben Shuai will come to the door tomorrow to apologize! ”

Xu Sanjiao responded, holding the reins and about to leave, but Wu Kang asked him to wait for a while, looked at Xiao Cui and ordered: "Brothers, it's rare to come here, go buy more wine and food... The brethren did not leave, but stayed for supper. San Lang go and go back quickly, send the horse to Cui's Mansion, and come directly to the house to eat and drink! ”

The bad people were suddenly overjoyed, and they all smiled and nodded, they knew Wu Kang's temper, and they didn't say polite words that didn't hurt.

Xiao Cui interjected: "Back to Langjun, Uncle Zhao and Zhao Dalang have come and sent the tables and chairs you ordered. There was also a strange thing, which was placed in the east wing. Lang Jun, do you want to go and see? ”

Wu Kang nodded again and again, beckoned everyone to walk into the courtyard together, and strode straight to the east wing. When I saw that set of machines, I was immediately overjoyed, it was a simple version of the still, which Mr. Zhao built according to the drawings and installed it by himself.

After a careful inspection, he felt that there was no problem, and immediately laughed: "Uncle Zhao is skillful, and he is worthy of being the best carpenter in Wuzhou." Xiao Cui took some more money and asked the liquor store to send ten jars of wine directly, if medical alcohol is distilled, my body injury will be solved! ”

In the fog that everyone listened, Xiaocui heard that "it was easy to solve", and it was rare to be generous once, and she directly took someone to buy wine. Bad people know about Wu Kang's problem, and they are used to numbness when they always come up with unbelievable words.

Zhou Hao's eyes lit up when he heard the wine, and he swallowed his saliva and said with a cheap smile: "Is this thing made of wine, Wu Shuai, you can also make wine?" ”

Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, beckoned everyone to leave, and came to the living room of the main house. The young woman and the little liar came and brought tea and water to the people.

Everyone began to drink tea and chat, and the topic of discussion was the situation of the Land Temple, Jiang Daniu lowered his voice and said: "At that time, the onlookers fled in all directions, and we brought all the copper coins to Weili, a total of more than 5,300 Wen, Wu Shuai, what do you say to deal with?" ”

The room could be heard in an instant, so the eyes were eager, Wu Kang thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Ben Shuai once said that they would be divided equally, but they all ran away, which is equivalent to giving up on their own initiative, so let's teach them a lesson." Take out 3,000 wen and give it to Zheng Senjun, and the rest..."

After a while, he continued: "Leave one thousand as our activity funds, and the brothers will divide each of them into thirty. The remaining more than 400 wen will be given to the injured brothers as their pension! ”

Everyone was happy when they heard this, and the old faces all laughed chrysanthemums, and after a long time, Zhou Hao reacted, and quickly twisted his eyebrows and said: "Wu Shuai can't do this, we have all divided the money, what about your share?" You can't forget about yourself! ”

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and echoed one after another, saying that Wu Shuai must also share. Wu Kang smiled and said: "Don't argue, I have money in my hands, and I can't look down on those dozens of papers." Let's talk about the hunt for the witch... It's uncomfortable! Ben Shuai is incompetent, let that girl run away! ”

Wu Kang gritted his teeth hatefully, and told the story of 1510 and 150. After hearing this, everyone comforted one after another, saying that it was not a crime of war, and put the black cauldron on the head of the little mare. Everyone continued to chatter, and soon the topic led to wine, which were all greedy for wine, and the atmosphere became warm for a while.

As a top student of the Bianliang Drinking Talent Training Base, Wu Kang knows a lot about wine. The training base has excellent professional courses and adheres to the teaching method of combining theory and practice. There is nothing to say in practice, soak in the wine vat all day, drink it and it's over.

The theory is the history of popular science wine, such as anecdotes of celebrities who are addicted to alcohol, the development of wine, how to distill and prepare fine wine, and so on. They also taught how to make a simple still, and explained how to make various liquors using sorghum sake as an example.

Influenced by Master Mo's "Red Sorghum", Wu Kang thoroughly studied sorghum wine. When I came back from outside the city, I also saw sparse sorghum on the side of the road, but I didn't see a large sorghum field. It is said that sorghum has a history of more than 5,000 years and is one of the earliest food crops cultivated by the ancestors, but it has always been not loved by my grandmother and uncle, and it was not valued until the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

I can probably think of the reason, the yield of this thing is not high, it seems that it is not as high as wheat. Secondly, as a grain, the taste is quite bad, and it eats a bad throat. Even in later generations, sorghum was not eaten, but used to make wine. Wu Kang thought about it, got sorghum wine out, tricked farmers into planting sorghum in bad fields, and turned it into cash crops.

was chatting hotly, and I heard a voice in the yard, as if it was Xu Sanjiao. Everyone looked at each other, Wu Kang hurriedly got up, and all the bad guys followed. When I walked out of the door of the main house, I saw Lao Xu with a red face.

He was still leading the horse, grinning widely. Wu Kang was very puzzled, and asked, "Why are you so excited, does your sister-in-law have a child?" Didn't you go to Cui Mansion to send the horse, why did you bring it back? ”

"What kind of child do you have, don't be the one who is not angry", Xu Sanjiao smiled, stroked the mare's mane and said: "I went to Duke Cui's mansion to send the horse, and waited outside the door for half an hour, Steward Cui rushed out angrily and scolded me for a bloody head." After scolding, let me go, hehe..."

Everyone was stunned, what is wrong with this? I'm so happy to be scolded! Wu Kang was also happy, pouted and said, "San Lang, you have no heart and lungs, why are you being scolded?" If Cui Gong had a fire in his heart, he should also be angry at me, what the hell is going on? ”

Xu Sanjiao smirked: "It's Cui Xiaoniang who is angry, she scolds Wu Shuai for being a leprosy... Toad, and said that Wu Shuai defiled the BMW, she didn't want to be dirty. This is a horse, if I were given one, I would rather be scolded to death by her! ”

There was a sound of swallowing saliva, everyone was dumbfounded, and Wu Kang was also stunned. This is a horse, or a Mongolian horse that can be used as a war horse. The scam of "fake horse cheating jade", that horse is not a war horse, and it can be sold for twenty times. Although this is a mare, it has to be forty times, which is equivalent to the Lamborghini of later generations, and Cui Xiaoniang is really a trench!

Speaking of the word "trench", Li Bai is the first in Datang. Five-flowered horses, daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, take Lamborghini for wine, and you can't accept it! But the word "defilement" is very awkward, Wu Kang is very helpless, I don't have that kind of habit, beware of me suing you for slander!

Helplessly sticking out his tongue, Wu Kang smiled and said: "As long as you give me the horse, don't talk about the toad, I will recognize the turtle king bastard!" By the way, San Lang, did Cui Xiaoniang ask for anything? For example, pay for a new horse, or ask for something? ”

Xu Sanjiao shook his head again and again, mysteriously took out a letter, and said with an ambiguous face: "Congratulations to Wu Shuai, Cui Niangzi's letter, Steward Cui entrusted me to hand it over to you." Hey... Cui Niangzi scolded Wu Shuai for being fake, but sending horses was real! Everyone said, isn't it? ”

All the subordinates exploded the pot again, and they all followed suit. Wu Kang was confused, as if he had never seen Cui Niangzi, today he forcibly recruited the little mare, and a woman's exclamation sounded in the carriage, I think it was her. If you become the son-in-law of Gong Cui, will you not walk sideways in Wuzhou in the future?

This is the first time I have received a love letter in two lifetimes, Wu Kang couldn't help but hehe, stuffed the letter into his pocket, coughed dryly and said: "Don't make a fuss, Cui Xiaoniang is a famous nobleman, and she is Cui Wu's sister-in-law, pay attention to your wording." If you have a reputation, don't talk about Cui Gong and Cui Wulang, Ben Shuai can't spare you! ”

"That's it, put your mouth clean", Jiang Daniu reprimanded everyone, and then rubbed his hands and came to the horse, his eyes shining green: "I said Xu San, don't be stunned, hurry up and tie up, hurry up and find grass!" ”

"Eh", Xu Sanjiao threw the reins on the willow tree and ran out of the gate with a smoke. The bad people all went up, wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch, and kept rubbing their hands.

The little mare looked at the herd of two-legged creatures and shook her head in disdain. Zhou Hao saw the bloodstains on the horse's neck, and immediately scolded: "Which Tian Shenu did something immoral and dirty the horse." Brothers, hurry up and fetch water, I'm going to clean the ponies... Oh, Jiang Da, what are you doing with me? ”

Zhou Hao saw that everyone's faces were weird, and when he saw Wu Kang's face sinking like water, he reacted instantly, and the donkey's face turned white in an instant, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Wu Kang glared at him, coughed dryly and said, "Since you like cleanliness so much, the horse will be handed over to you, and it will be washed from top to bottom." If there's a little bit of dust, you don't have to eat... What are you doing in a daze, hurry up! ”

Zhou Hao sighed twice, picked up the wooden bucket and ran out of the courtyard door, and went to fetch water in the alley. Wu Kang looked at all his subordinates, and said in a strange manner: "When the wine is bought, all the alcohol will be distilled for me." If you can't meet the medical standards, you won't eat, when to meet the requirements, when to eat! ”
