Chapter 20: Suffocating the Donkey

More than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the reconstruction of Mojia Zhuangzi has also been completed, and hundreds of families originally scattered in Zhuangzi plus hundreds of families allocated by the household department have all settled in the east of Zhuangzi, a unified two-story cement small building. The back molars of the farmers who smiled at the new house were exposed, and the relatives and friends in the neighboring villages came to visit, and the relatives were very envious.

"Master Hou wants to recruit a good hand at brewing." Somehow, the news spread among the dealers.

"Ma Lao Er can make wine, this time it's really cheap for him, who in our village can make wine, that is, his ancestor opened a winery, and this craft, it must be brilliant to do things for Hou Ye." Only Ma Lao Er can make wine in the village, and knowing that Hou Ye is going to recruit people to make wine, the threshold of Ma Lao Er is about to be broken by the Zhuang households these days.

"Are you comfortable living in your new house?" Mo Shuyu came to Zhuangzi for the first time after the villagers built their houses.

"Comfortable, not to mention how comfortable, the people in the neighboring villages don't know how to envy it." The dealers shouted.

"That's good, now that the Zhuangzi has been built, I will also tell you about my plan." Mo Shuyu pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Your Majesty called me to Zhuangzi to let me experiment with all kinds of new objects in Zhuangzi, now that the house has been built, it is natural to build a workshop, and those who have crafts such as carpenters, masons, blacksmiths and craftsmen have gone to Uncle Fu to record them, and everyone will have tasks at that time. Now, who among you will make wine? ”

"Master Hou, I... I will. A horse-faced man stood up and looked proudly at the surrounding farmers.

"Okay, you go to Uncle Fu to get a hundred guan, and go to Chang'an City to help me buy all kinds of wine. Other people who have crafts will go to Uncle Fu to register and go to build a workshop, and Uncle Fu will build it according to your requirements. Mo Shuyu left after speaking, when he rebuilt Zhuangzi, he drew a large piece of land on the construction plan to build a mansion for himself, with a pool garden and everything.

Ma Lao Er took the money from Uncle Fu and drove the ox cart on the Zhuangzi into Chang'an City without saying a word, but Xiang Wu was sweating profusely and drove the ox cart full of wine back to the village.

"Pay attention, this is what Master Hou ordered, break the caution that my second horse turns his face and doesn't recognize people." Ma Lao Er looked at the men who were surrounding the ox cart and enjoying the smell of wine with their eyes closed.

"Is this the Sanle Pulp? I'm a good drip, worthy of the nobles' drinking, it's really fucking fragrant. "The farmers have never seen Sanle pulp in their lives, and they are naturally very happy to see Sanle pulp for the first time.

"Smack." Ma Lao Er shook his hand and drove everyone away with a whip, and drove the ox cart to Mo Shuyu's mansion. "Be careful, this is three pulp, several times in one jar, I can't afford to lose it if I break it and sell you."

"Steward Fu, the wine that Master Hou asked for has been bought." Ma Lao Er drove the ox cart and just walked into Mo Shuyu's mansion when he was stopped by Uncle Fu.

"Okay, you send the wine to the workshop, Master Hou loves cleanliness, don't rush the ox cart in." Uncle Fu looked at Mo Shuyu, who was lying next to the pool drinking Sanle pulp, and told Ma Lao Er to send the wine to the workshop.

"Okay, Uncle Fu, Second Uncle Ma has traveled so far on such a hot day, so people can rest." Mo Shuyu saw Mo Lao Er driving the ox cart to the door, and walked over with a cup of Sanle pulp. "Come, second uncle drink wine to quench his thirst."

"Master Xie, Lord Xie appreciates wine." Ma Lao Er was at a loss for what to do with his wine glass, and kept bowing and thanking him.

"When you're done drinking, take a break and send it to the workshop, and I'll teach you what to do when the time comes." After Mo Shuyu finished speaking, he walked out, and Mo Fu followed behind him and looked at Ma Er.

"Thank you, the little one is not tired, so send the wine over, so you won't delay the time of the Hou Ye." Ma Lao Er drank the three pulp in one go, and looked at Uncle Fu with the cup and didn't know where to put it.

"Uh... I've got you. Uncle Fu was also very heartbroken, knowing that Mo Shuyu didn't like to use cups used by others, so he had to make the decision to reward the cup to Ma Er.

"Xie Hou Ye, Xie Hou Ye." As soon as Uncle Fu said this, Ma Lao Er bowed for a long time.

"Alright, don't bow, and when you're done, send the wine to the workshop. Hou Ye is still waiting to use it. After Uncle Fu finished speaking, he hurriedly caught up with Mo Shuyu. Master Hou, that wine glass... The little one made the decision and gave it to the second horse. ”

"It's fine, it's just a cup, I didn't think I'd use it at the time anyway." Mo Shuyu replied to Uncle Fu, but he didn't stop at his feet, and walked straight to the blacksmith shop. In Chang'an in December, the cold wind was howling, and the snow particles hit the face and hurt, but the snow was too deep for the carriage to go at all.

Mo Shuyu arrived at the blacksmith shop after a while, looked at the progress of the blacksmith shop, took a few iron cans and asked someone to send them to the winery and left, without stopping for long.

"Second Uncle Ma, pour the wine in, steam it over high heat for two hours, and call me when the wine is out, I'll go and rest." Mo Shuyu followed the dealer who sent the retort into the distillery, and ordered everyone to pack the distiller and ask Ma Lao Er to pour the wine into the distiller for distillation. Uncle Fu also knew that Mo Shuyu had the habit of taking a nap, and knew that Mo Shuyu hadn't taken a nap today, and he had a habit of cleanliness, so he came out with a blanket. When he saw that Mo Shuyu was asleep, he ran out to watch Ma Lao Er steaming wine.

"There you have it, it's out of the wine!" Mo Shuyu was sleeping soundly when he heard someone shouting outside. Hurriedly got up and sat up, and there was a strong aroma of wine.

"Don't drink it, that's a wine head!" As soon as Mo Shuyu woke up, he saw a black object holding a bowl and receiving the wine, ready to drink.

"Don't be stingy with Mitoyo, isn't it just to drink a sip of your wine." The black object turned around and smothered the wine in one gulp. "Haha, domineering, it's really a good wine, it's very fragrant, it's really Yaochi jade liquid."

"Brother Chumo? When did you come? How do you feel after drinking it? "Who else should Mo Shuyu be, it turned out that Cheng Chumo came.

"Haha, Mitoyo, what is your wine called?" After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Suffocate the donkey!" Mo Shuyu looked at Cheng Chu, who fell to the ground, and said the name of the wine. "Why is he here?"

"Master Hou, you just fell asleep, and Grandpa Cheng came, saying that he smelled the fragrance of wine from afar when he passed by here, and came looking for the fragrance." Uncle Fu looked at Cheng Chumo who fell to the ground, and asked someone to carry him to the blanket where Mo Shuyu had just taken a nap, this cold day, if you leave it here, I am afraid that when Cheng's old man loses his son at night, he will have to bring the first part to ask for someone, no, he wants a popsicle.

"Ma Er, if you really have the ability, I didn't have much hope, and I actually let you brew high-grade wine at once." Mo Shuyu didn't think that he could brew the high-grade liquor at once, after all, he only knew that the high-grade liquor needed to be distilled, and he didn't know the specific process. "Uncle Fu, give a reward."

"Second Uncle Ma, when the wine comes out, seal it on the altar and send it to my house, tomorrow I will bring the wine to your majesty." Mo Shuyu was not good at drinking, and when he smelled the wine, he knew that even if he couldn't reach the high degree of wine in later generations, it should be much higher than the existing alcohol degree, and he told Ma Lao Er to send it to the house when the wine came out, and Mo Shuyu went back to the house to rest.
