Gao Bingchang said what happened on the side. It turned out that Gao Bingchang and the three of them went to Yanjing Road, and Zuo Xiaosi said that he used to be acquainted with a restaurant owner in Yanjing City, so the three of them took the steamed wine and went to find Zuo Xiaosi's friend. Who knew that when I arrived at the restaurant, the restaurant changed the owner, and even the people who ran the hall changed. At first, the women who ran the hall in the restaurant said that they also knew how to make wine in the restaurant and did not buy outside wine. Later, the owner of the restaurant heard about it, so he asked the maid to come out and ask where he was from, and Zuo Xiaosi said that it was from Gaojiazhai in Yizhou. Come to the city to buy grain, and by the way, sell the good wine in the village in the city in the future.

When the new owner of the restaurant heard this, he asked the maid to come out, poured a bowl of wine and brought it in, and after a while, the maidservant came out again, saying that the master had kept all the five jars of steamed wine, and asked how to sell the wine.

Gao Bing often asked, and honestly according to what Lao Zheng Tou said, he said that each altar is ten catties, and it sells for enough money. In fact, Gao Bingchang didn't have a bottom in his heart, after all, he could buy a pound of wine for a few dozen dollars. The maidservant didn't ask much, but went into the room again and replied. When she came out again, the maidservant asked her to come and get the money in two days.

Gao Bingchang and the three of them were all happy when they heard the maid say this. People didn't sell it, and it doesn't make sense to take the money now. So the three of them unloaded the jar, moved into the store, and left empty-handed.

The three men had relieved themselves of an errand and went about the city to find the rice store. The rice grain store is easy to find, but there are many of them, all of which are closed, and there is a wooden sign next to the door, which says "no grain to sell", and some simply don't even bother to hang the sign of "no grain to sell".

Gao Bingchang and the three of them did not give up, and stayed in the city for another night, but the next day they still did not find a store selling grain. Zuo Xiaosi asked the store near Zuo again, only to know that there was no grain on the market in Yanjing City for a long time, and the rich people had already stocked up on grain and rice, but the poor people were suffering and couldn't survive, so they dragged their families to other places.

Zhou Nan nodded, there is no food in Yanjing, let alone Yizhou and Zhuozhou, no wonder the soldiers defending the city are hungry.

Gao Bing often came to Yanjing, but he didn't buy food, and returned empty-handed, he originally had the greatest hope for Yanjing, after all, it was Nanjing, Liaoguo, who knew that Youzhou was now panicked, and his family couldn't eat enough, let alone sell grain. Gao Bingchang heard that the emperor came to Yanjing City, and later the Jin people called Yanjing, so he asked his uncle to supervise Yanjing, and he took a large group of royal families and ministers to the west. I also heard that he ordered the killing of the eldest prince on the way. Yanjing, the emperor's uncle, became the emperor himself, and the new emperor heard that he had presented a surrender to the Jin State. In a word, it's too messy.

So on the third day, Gao Bingchang took Zuo Xiaosi and Zhou Fu to Hongyan Restaurant to get the wine money. Who knew that after passing, the woman who ran the hall in the restaurant not only gave him five guan money, but also gave him five more guan, saying that the shopkeeper said that he would send another twenty jars of steamed wine, and it would be delivered within ten days. These five times are the deposit.

After listening to Gao Bingchang's speech, Zhou Nan and Lao Zheng Tou and others knew that this steamed wine was really so popular in Yanjing City. It's just that Lao Zheng Tou sighed again and again: "This store has a big heart, and I'm not afraid that the three of you won't go to his store again, won't the shopkeeper leave the money?" Zuo Xiaosi said: "Then the shopkeeper is not only big-hearted? I didn't even see what the three of us looked like, and I just asked the maid to talk back and forth. In this way, Zhou Nan is also very strange, look at Gao Bingchang, there are three people in this line, Gao Bingchang is old and has a wide range of experience, if there is something strange, he will never know.

Gao Bingchang couldn't figure it out, and when he saw Zhou Nan looking at him, he just shook his head. Zhou Nan had no choice but to say: "I never thought that there were such righteous people in Yanjing City, and since the deposit has been collected, I rushed to make a steamed bar." "Also, this precipitated five-run copper coin is in front of you, and there is no doubt about it.

There is already some grain and rice, but it is not very urgent. Now I'm in a hurry, but how can I have these twenty jars of steamed wine?

The five jars of wine can be used by Lao Zheng Tou nearly 20 jars of self-wine, if you want to steam out 20 jars of wine, you have to have 60 jars of self-brewing. But where can I make wine in a hurry?

Lao Zheng Tou's face was pleasantly surprised at first, and then he heard that he would send another twenty jars of steamed wine, and it would take ten days, and he immediately became sad.

Zhou Nan looked at Gao Bingchang, who also had a sad face, and suddenly thought of someone, and asked Lao Zheng Tou: "In the past, I heard you say that Liu Lao Zhang also made his own wine, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhou Nan reminded Lao Zheng Tou with a word, patted his forehead, and said: "If it weren't for Da Lang mentioning it, I almost forgot that Liu Lao'er has his own wine, and even Gao Lao'er's family has his own inventory; Gao Lao'er, can there be such a thing? ”

Gao Bingchang nodded blankly, and didn't know how Lao Zheng Tou asked about his wine for a while, Lao Zheng Tou smiled: "In the village, as much as I can make my own wine, why don't I buy these home-brewed wines from the mountain people and then steam them according to the law, how about it?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded and replied: "This is very good, but it has to be sold voluntarily, and the price is higher than outside. ”

Lao Zheng Tou saw that Zhou Nan agreed, and asked: "Each person's technique is different, and the wine brewed is different, and the color is different, I don't know if it can be steamed together?" ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "You just have to steam it, whatever kind of wine it is, you can mix it together and steam it." It's just that this time it should be the same as the wine used for steaming last time, so that the taste of the steamed wine will be the same as last time. Don't ask the store to say I'm waiting for a change of wine. ”

Turning his head to look at Gao Bingchang, he was still shaking his head helplessly because he hadn't bought back the grain and rice. Zhou Nan and Lao Zheng Tou glanced at each other, and Lao Zheng Tou comforted him: "I can sell the steamed wine, and I can hear about the chaos in Yanjing, but I didn't go on this trip, I worked hard for Gao Lao'er." ”

Gao Yuan heard that Gao Bingchang was back, and also came to Lao Zheng Tou's house, and listened to Zuo Xiaosi tell him about the experience of the three people, and several people discussed it, and the matter of steaming wine was handled by Lao Zheng Tou, and he bought wine from the mountain people, and then arranged for the carpenter Shen Ding to steam the wine. In addition, in the next half a month, the wheat harvest will be in the field, and everyone will be responsible for their own responsibilities, the wheat harvest, the steaming wine, the drill of drills, and the organization of hunters to go up the mountain to hunt, and organize hunting, even if it is the fun exercise of the family protection society. After the wheat is harvested, the grain and rice harvested from the 50 acres of public land are stored in the warehouse, plus the various kinds of bacon that has been slaughtered and cured by the male animals, so there is no need to worry about food shortage.

Zhou Nan nodded, and thought of these changes that Gao Bingchang said, thinking that the King of Jin met and hunted last winter, and he asked Hu Dugu to send a message to the King of Jin, so that he could leave as soon as possible this spring, and he didn't expect that there was still a separation between heaven and man. It seems that the course of history itself cannot be changed casually.

Thinking that Emperor Tianzuo had fled to the northwest of Liao, he still killed his own son King Jin on the way, and the Song Dynasty army also drove to the Song-Liao border, all of which confirmed that the great war between Song and Liao and the Jin army were about to start in Yanjing.
