Chapter 59: The Red-Nosed Father-in-law

Looking up and admiring the eight characters hanging on the wall, 'repay grievances with virtue, serve the country and the people', Wu Yueya's heart was comfortable, and at the same time she was impressed by the magnificent righteousness between the fonts.

"Little lady, Chu Er doesn't understand, this word is really valuable, but it's not worth sending thousands of miles away, he went to our princess's mansion to scold for a morning!"

"People, if you don't have a backbone, you will grovel, this word, too, is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, but such a person deserves our respect." Holding her chin, Wu Yueya gave her own answer to Chu'er's incomprehension.

Chu'er still doesn't understand, and she doesn't have the atmosphere of a little lady. If it was Chu'er, he would first press it on the wall and rub it a few times, and then slap him a few times, who would let him scold him at the door. Hua Chu'er was still angry, and she didn't mind others slandering the little lady, and continued to be resentful, "Although Chu'er is a thief, she also knows how to have a good reputation and a bad reputation, and those villains outside chew the root of the little lady's tongue, eager to pull out their tongues, saying that the princess can change her mistakes when she is young, wrong?" What's wrong with my little lady, it's obviously that Yan Yan said nonsense, the materials for building the princess's mansion saved a lot of money, someone must be a ghost, if Chu'er knew, he must first press him on the wall and rub it dozens of times, and then throw him into the stinky ditch to relieve his anger! ”

"Okay, okay, my Chu'er is not angry, there are indeed many people staring at us with bad intentions, but don't be afraid, isn't there Chu'er, you are a famous flying flower thief in the rivers and lakes? Let's pick one and pick one, come and two pick up a pair! Strip naked and throw it into the stinky ditch! Wu Yueya said half-jokingly, but she thought in her heart, Yan Zhenqing, even if you press him against the wall and rub it, you will not be afraid at all, just like the words on this wall, bright and upright, righteous and awe-inspiring, ghosts and gods have to respect this scroll for three points.

made Chu'er laugh like a silver bell, saying that the little lady is too good at talking, and she doesn't forget to preach people, but Chu'er likes such a little lady.

In the brewery, several craftsmen mash the malt, boil it in a pot, and put some hops, and it doesn't take long for a pot of clear yellow liquid to come out, put some sake lees, and wait for fermentation.

Among the group of homeless people taken in by the princess's mansion, there are more than a hundred old men, these people cannot be used as laborers, even if Wu Yueya is kind enough to take them in and not let some subordinates talk about it, there will still be some dissenting voices quietly sounding.

Especially those old people who are alone, they have become a burden on the displaced people, discarded, abandoned, even if they live to Chang'an, they can't find their relatives who abandoned them, and they are helpless, which is probably the sadness of white-haired people sending black-haired people.

Some people think that if they abandon the old man and have less burden, they can barely survive, but no one can stay out of such a world, not even the dry grass on the roadside, and if they leave their burdens, they will only lose more.

Maybe it's because I heard some people say that they are useless, they will only eat and wait for death in the princess's mansion, they discussed together, some of the old people here have lived longer, how much can know a few words, and they are also very wise, knowing that the princess's mansion has opened a school, and under the leadership of a few old scholars, they asked the princess to be a teacher.

And one of them is a red-nosed old man with his grandson to the princess's newly opened wine shop, smelling the wine shop, the old man looks happy, his mouth is full of relish, slid down his mouth, like a crazy demon, shakes off his grandson, rushes towards the wine shop, pushes away a few winemakers who are moving the wine jar, jumps off the wine pit, sits in the wine jar in the midst of many scoldings, picks up a jar of wine, tears the seal to the ground, and drinks it like a beast that has not seen a woman for more than ten years

Wu Yueya finished solving the affairs of these old men, and arranged for them to teach the more than 2,000 illiterate reserve soldiers to learn words and arithmetic, and there were already more than 700 miscellaneous servants in the princess's mansion, so there was no need to increase the manpower in this area for the time being.

These old people, who are basically over 60 years old, let them teach for two hours a day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.

Not long after, the craftsman of the wine shop came to report, Wu Yueya thought that the beer was brewed at first, who knew that it was a bad old man who was not leaving the wine shop with his grandson, pointing at some methods and tools for making wine, saying that this is not good and that is not right, and he also made a big deal of the beer requested by the princess, and people were going crazy with alcohol, and they couldn't stop it at all.

As soon as I heard the news, I was stunned, what is the situation.

When I came to the winery, I realized that a red-nosed drunkard was stirring in the pot with a spoon, and the cauldron was boiling malt. I was fascinated by it and enjoyed it.

"This old man, why are you so happy?" Wu Yueya stepped forward and asked, but the other party stared at the pot with drunken eyes and ignored her question.

"Princess, this old man is like this, since he took a few herbs and grinded them, he stopped talking, and kept staring at the pot, as if this pot could bloom!" The fat white craftsman next to him spoke, and he was very unhappy with this old man who robbed him of wine and his work.

"You know what, my grandfather is a master brewer, how can you tell what my grandfather is doing based on your three-legged cat brewing skills!" The boy who had been standing next to him spoke, holding his waist pole with one hand, full of energy.

"Hey, you're a little kid who is neither big nor small, how can you talk to the princess like this"

Wu Yueya stretched out her hand to interrupt the white fat craftsman's words, squatted down and asked with a smile, "What is your grandfather doing?" ”

"Hee-hee, I'll say this pretty sister kiss me," said the boy, with a wicked smile.

Wu Yueya's forehead was covered with black lines, she stepped forward and pinched the little boy's ear, deliberately rolling her eyes, do you say or not?

"Ouch, sister, sister, my ears hurt, I said, my grandfather is purifying the impurities of the original liquor of winemaking, and the effect of that unique recipe is several times better than that of hops!"

Wu Yueya let go of the little boy's ears, touched his little brain, praised him for being well-behaved, and asked him if he wanted his sister to kiss him.

The little boy decisively didn't want it, this beautiful young lady was not gentle at all.

"Hahahaha, it's done," the old man suddenly laughed, skillfully picked up the brewing utensils, and divided the liquid in the pot into three types.

Wu Yueya went up to take a look, the first one was very clear, the yellow color was scarce, the second one was worse than the first, and the third one was exactly the same as the snake flower boiled.

Just seeing this, the white fat craftsman has nothing to say, this old man is not simple, maybe he is really a master brewer!

When he saw the princess, the old man bowed his hand.

Wu Yueya waved his hand so that he didn't have to be so polite, and this skill alone surprised her, "I don't know what to call this old man?" ”

"Du Ziteng!"

"Stomach ache?" Three question marks popped up above Wu Yue's head? Sudden stomach aches?

"Hmm!"

Hurriedly held the old man and asked the old man if you have a pain in the upper part of your navel or a pain in the lower part of your belly button.

Uncle Du was immediately stunned, I don't hurt anything

It took a few careful chats to alleviate the embarrassment, Du Ziteng, it's not a stomachache! This old man has been making wine for more than 30 years, and his obsession with wine can be said to be that he has not seen a woman for more than ten years

The little boy's name was Du Zhanhong, nine years old this year, and at Wu Yueya's discretion, it was decided to let this old man become the master of the brewery, with a monthly salary, to guide these winemakers to make wine. Talk about beer and distilled spirits with Du Ziteng for a while, and please give it to him, after all, people have been brewing all their lives and have rich experience.
