Chapter XXVII
"Oh, how did I know that the master's heart disease was so serious, okay, I won't mention it in the future. By the way, Meiyu, how about I give you an errand? Jia Yi first waved his hand at Lin Meiyu, signaling that he was clear, and then he remembered that Lin Meiyu didn't have anything to do.
"What?"
"Steam the wine for me."
"I won't." Lin Meiyu also went to the distillation room to see Jia Yi's steamed wine, at first she thought that this could be difficult, but it was just to pour the rice wine into it, and then wait for the steamed wine to flow out, however, in fact, this is very high for the study of the heat, after the heat, only water can come out, and if the heat does not arrive, nothing will come out, even if the heat is not too much, the wine that comes out is likely to not taste as good as the previous wine, which is all difficult.
"It's okay, I can teach you."
After everyone finished breakfast, Sun Simiao went into the house to give Old Man Lin a pulse and further check his condition, while Zhang Daren was instructed by Jia Yi to go down to the brewery and urge them to send the wine over quickly.
Jia Yi first asked Lin Meiyu to go back, and when the wine came, he would teach her how to steam wine.
At this time, I was idle but suddenly remembered that I hadn't been to the oil press room for several days, and hurriedly came to the second courtyard, the oil press room, pushed open the door and went in, and saw that Jia Er, who had just had breakfast, was carefully collecting the powder grinded, and a large jar of 100 catties of rapeseed oil had been placed in the corner of the room, and there were not many rapeseeds left, I believe that Jia Er would soon grind all these rapeseeds into oil.
"Xiao Er, thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, big brother, I'm not tired of doing this at all."
"Well, let's rest for a while after doing this, anyway, this oil is enough for a long time," Jia Yi walked to Jia Er's side, stretched out his hand to wrap Jia Er's shoulder, and said softly: "Xiao Er, this oil technique is the only way for us to settle down in the future, don't hide it from you, stir-fried vegetables will dominate the food market of restaurants and inns in the future, what you suffer today, you will definitely suffer unexpected effects in the future, so bear with it, after this time, the eldest brother will find you a bunch of subordinates to help you get oil." ”
"Well, thank you, big brother."
"Okay, you can be busy, if you are tired, you can rest, don't worry."
Walking out of the oil squeezing room, Jia Yi felt that Jia Er, a young man, was very good, willing to work hard, and the most important thing was that he knew how to be grateful, he felt that if this kid behaved as well as he did now, he would treat Jia Er as a real brother.
After such a while, Zhang Daren led people to pull a big cart and came to the door of the Lin Mansion, and there were only fifty jars in one car, and he had to make at least three or four trips to get all the wine.
Ignoring Zhang Daren, Jia Yi called Lin Meiyu, and then taught her how to distill liquor.
"From this mouth you can see that if the wine at the bottom of the pot has fine bubbles, you need to remove the fire, just keep warm, when the bubbles at the bottom of the pot become less, it means that the rest of the pot is basically water, just pour it out. And our wine is divided into four stars, which are one-star, two-star, three-star and five-star, but the five-star is not sold, only one, two or three can be taken out for sale. ”
"Just pay attention to this, anyway, I'll just take care of the steaming wine, and I'll leave the matter of selling the wine to you." After speaking, Lin Meiyu also reached out and patted Jia Yi's shoulder twice, with a smile on her face.
Letting Lin Meiyu make distilled liquor is not a long-term solution, no matter what, she is also Jia Yi's sister-in-law, calling her sister-in-law all day long, even if Lin Ruyu doesn't say it, Old Man Lin will lose his temper.
Everything is on the right track, the Sifang Inn is taking shape at a very fast speed, and the interior decoration can be carried out in half a month at most, and the rapeseed will be cleaned up in a few days, in exchange for a large jar and a small jar of rapeseed oil, I believe that by this time next year, these oils will not be used up.
Then Jia Yi bought a lot of cinnamon, star anise, pepper and other traditional Chinese medicine plants from the pharmacy under Sun Simiao's surprised gaze, and thought for a long time, Sun Simiao also failed to figure out how these Chinese medicines should be compatible, when he asked Jia Yi, Jia Yi did not say, just used these Chinese medicines to add some wine, stewed a pot of pork ribs, when the dish of stewed pork ribs appeared in front of Sun Simiao, he did not hesitate to take out a bone and gnaw it, without hesitation about his identity as a Taoist, I didn't see Jia Erdu, who was standing on the side, already opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Smelling the tempting fragrance, Jia Yi gently slapped Jia Er on the back of the head, signaling him to hurry up and eat, and pouted towards the door, Zhang Daren's dog nose worked again, but he came a little late, and he could only eat the remaining vegetables in the bowl.
The full days always fly by, and when the mason's foreman told Jia Yi that the inn was built, Jia Yi quickly came to the outside of the inn to watch.
Although I have seen it before, compared with the real finished product, the semi-finished product really has no beauty at all.
The new Sifang Inn is divided into two floors, the lower floor is a huge restaurant, for people to eat and drink, the second floor is full of housing, there are more than 50 rooms under the count, and there is a number on the door of each room, which is required by Jia Yi, and the embarrassment of the appearance of the wrong person to enter someone else's room is provincial.
The mason happily took the money and left, Jia Yi found more than 20 carpenters, and did not let them make this place how luxurious, as long as it was quiet and elegant, all kinds of furniture and all kinds of decorations began to be built one by one according to Jia Yi's requirements, and it was three days of busyness, which finally made the originally empty inn no longer deserted, at least the eight immortal tables and the chairs on the side of the table were with the inn, waiting for the day when the door opened to welcome guests.
Three days before the opening, Jia Yi went to the street to buy a lot of vegetables, meat, as for the rest, there is not much to buy, there is nothing to buy, a small eggplant is called Kunlun purple melon, and it looks like this melon is hard to find, but Jia Yi knows that this thing is almost listed as a resolute non-eater when he was very young, of course, if the eggplant is done, it is also delicious, but if the price can be cheaper, it is too good.
Seeing that the three-star wine has been prepared and the inn is ready to open, what is ushered in is not an inquiry asking if you can eat or stay in the hotel, but a few Wuhou patrolling the street with a cold face and a question with a waist knife.
"Why is your inn two feet taller?"
Jia Yi was asked by this question, could it be that the overstepping of all precautions still appeared?
"Hehe, a few officials, the small ones don't know, this inn is built by those masons, the small ones don't know its actual height, if it is overrun, the small ones will see off the roof some.
In fact, in the place of construction, Jia Yi pointed out very clearly that the height of the inn must be within the legal range, and those masons also made a sure guarantee, after the inn was built, Jia Yi looked at the high two-story building, and always felt that something was missing, when he saw the cloudless sky, he remembered that the building needs to install lightning rods, so he found a blacksmith to play some lightning rods and installed them on the roof. It's just that he didn't expect that these erected iron rods have directly caused his inn to be taller, forming an embarrassing situation of exceeding the system.
Jia Yi climbed to the roof along the ladder, carefully stepped on the green tiles, came to the edge of the cornice, and sawed the original one-meter-long lightning rod into half a meter with a saw, but I don't know if the half-meter lightning rod still has the effect of lightning protection.
Jia Yi, who was standing on the roof, looked back at the people looking up at him under the house, and suddenly he felt that it was a good idea to be able to mix a knighthood in the Tang Dynasty, he had never thought about being an official, if he was allowed to be an official, he believed that he was not a huge greed, and he would definitely displace the people under his rule, but even if he was a viscount, he would not have to be an official but he could enjoy a lot of special treatment, and the lightning rod on the roof, even if he wanted to use three meters, no one would come over to ask.
However, Jia Yi also clearly knows how difficult it is to get a knighthood under Li Er's rule, not to mention that now that the world has been decided, Li Er has rarely been knighted, and even began to think about the law to cut off some people's titles, that is, there is a way to be knighted, Jia Yi's small body is estimated to be difficult to complete those difficult goals.
Honestly climbing down from the roof, Jia Yi arched his hand at several Wuhous, and let them look at the half-meter iron rods in their hands, and these Wuhou turned around and continued to patrol the street. Jia Yi wondered at that time, could it be that their eyes were all with rulers, how could they see at a glance that his inn was built more than two feet......
There are still two days to open, Jia Yiyi loaded the ten jars of five-star wine that Lin Meiyu had prepared, and prepared to send them to Chang'an, more than half a month has passed since Qin Qiong gave the winery, and I believe that the previous five jars of wine have already been drunk by those bigwigs in Chang'an.
Zhang Daren looked at the ten jars of five-star wine on the car, grinned at Jia Yi, first opened the lid on the top of a wine jar, and was ready to scoop out some tastes with the pottery bowl in his hand, but the pottery bowl in his hand had not reached the mouth of the wine jar, and his two hands covered the altar.
"You can't drink this wine." Jia Yi's face was very serious, which made Zhang Daren a little inexplicable, isn't it just wine, or wine for the master, even if this wine is sent to Chang'an, the master will reward us with a few bowls to taste, but now it's not easy to refute Jia Yi's face, and he can only mumble and re-cover the cover.
Then Jia Yi loaded a few jars of three-star Du Kang into the car, this thing is soft and delicious, and it can't be drunk without stamina, which is just right for Qin Qiong.
"You can try these jars if you are tired on the road, but you must not drink those five-star wines."
