Chapter 792: Beer
Even with money in their pockets, the tenants of the family did not throw away the fields. According to Lao Cui's words, you can't forget your roots, if it weren't for the fact that you are the tenants of the Ma family, where would you have a good day today, even if the family's business is not a land, it can't be wasted.
The men, women, and children of the whole Zhuangzi went into battle together, the young women's harvested in front, the sharpened sickle could be cut out with a few swishs, and the sturdy men piled the tied wheat on the hemp rope like a hill, and it was strange that they could carry it.
The old man followed behind with his children to pick up ears of wheat, and kept telling his son to be careful when loading the car, even though life was better now, and he could not waste food.
The smoke was not on fire in the wheat field, but a man kept throwing the carbon sludge into the boiler, opening the valve and the steam engine swished and moved, and the improved threshing machine was running.
A wheat figure threw it in, and immediately yellow grains of wheat fell from the belly of the machine, and wheat stalks spit out from an outlet on the side.
Sherz tilted her head to look at the entrance of the black hole, and Madu hurriedly pulled her over, "If your hair gets tangled in, it will be ground into flesh." ”
"Grandpa is too worried, the concubine is not so ignorant, and she is still far away. This thing is called a threshing machine, right? ”
"That's right, in the past, you could only thresh rice, but now you can threshh wheat as well. If there is no failure, 200 acres of rice can be threshed in one day and one night. It seems that Mrs. is going to get a few back to Guizhou. ”
Shezi grinned and a mouthful of shell teeth is very good-looking, it is not easy for Guizhou people to have such a mouthful of white teeth, "There are millions of concubines, how can a few units be satisfied, at least a hundred and ten units are enough, only as a bride price, how can the grandfather's face twitch......"
"Madame is not greedy, this boiler with a steam engine and thresher only costs more than two thousand taels, and I can take it out with my father's net worth, I am afraid that my wife will ask for a textile machine, hybrid rice seeds, soap secret recipe, glass secret recipe or something, and my father will simply move the family business to Guizhou."
"Hehe......" Shezi covered her mouth and smiled with a slight red face, as if she was really embarrassed, "The concubine's mind has been seen through by the grandfather, the concubine is not so greedy, as long as the clansmen have food and clothing, it is enough, although the soap and glass are easy to use, it doesn't matter." The concubine's clan is also as hard-working as the Han people, and they can also raise silkworms and weave cloth, so they only ask the grandfather to borrow a few looms from the concubine, and the good things here will be exchanged for silk after the concubine. ”
"My father is not so stingy, as long as my wife finds a way out for the clansmen, my father should support him, who calls us in-laws."
Ma Du said again: "I heard that you have three graduating students in the academy who are about to go to Guizhou with you, and my father is very curious, how did you deceive them." ”
"Grandpa's words are really ugly, the concubine sincerely invited them to be moved by the sincerity of the concubine, how can it be said that it is a lie."
Ma Du shook his head: "I don't believe it, now the imperial court is very short of officials, this batch of students basically have to enter the sixth department, the future is very good, if you don't do some means, they will be stupid to go to Guizhou with you." ”
"Huh...... This is also simple, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and the concubine body tells them that the women in my clan are as beautiful as the concubine body, and the three students who have not yet married agreed to go to Guizhou with me. Why did the grandfather's face twitch again, isn't the concubine beautiful? ”
Ma Du sighed and said, "Beautiful, beautiful!" ”
When he took the whole family to Penghu at sea, Ma Du did not take Xiaobai to worry about killing it, but asked people to send them all the way back to Poyang Lake, which is its home.
Ma Du never treated his friends badly, and he couldn't let Xiaobai live in a small glass house, so he dug an artificial lake on the barren beach near the academy.
It was finally completed in the summer, and a small bridge pavilion was also built, which is a view of Fangshan, and in order to make up for the regret of never going to the water park when he was a child, Madu built a water slide.
But as soon as he took Minglin and Xiaoyun to play for a long time, he was robbed by Bi Lin and Xiao Biao, followed by the children of the tenant family, the children of the nearby households, and then it had nothing to do with Ma Du, and he had to send two servants with good water characteristics to guard the side.
The water slide somehow spread into the city, and the wolf-like nobles took their children and grandchildren to drive everyone away and have fun.
Can you imagine the scene of a battlefield warrior wearing big pants and holding his children and grandchildren in his arms, sitting on a sheepskin boat and sliding down the long slide and howling wolves?
But such a thing happened, and others even counted Xu Da and Xu Zengshou coming to the scene every day, and it was shameful to come to Ma's house to eat after having had enough.
Ma Du simply couldn't see or be annoyed, and hid at home and drank beer with Wang Guangyang, yes, beer. Since he was cut off by Lao Zhu, Lao Wang is door is not out of the door, and he can't come to the academy to teach.
It wasn't until beer appeared on the market that Ma Du finally knew what Wang Guangyang was doing hiding at home, and he mentioned it to him in Zhongshu Province that year, and he really made it out, and the taste was much better than two or three pieces of beer a bottle in later generations.
Ma Du burped heavily, "Lao Wang, can you tell me where you got the carbon dioxide, it should not be made of lime, this is not hygienic, it is better to drink less." ”
Wang Guangyang's face was already flushed from drinking, "What kind of carbon are you talking about?" The old man didn't put carbon in the wine, wouldn't it be dark if he put charcoal? ”
He flicked the wall of the glass with his fingers, "Look at this wine is yellow, the color of gold, and you feel comfortable when you look at it!" ”
"Whoever told me about carbon, I mean how do you pour gas into the wine."
"You say this, put the lees in a sealed container and heat it, and then pull a tube and put it in the wine, this is the same method you told me at the beginning, burp, if there is no gas, this taste will have to be discounted."
Madu scratched his scalp, "Did I tell you?" How I don't remember. ”
"That's what you told me at the beginning, the old man won't be wrong about wine, Xuanzhong is afraid that he is drunk!" Wang Guangyang took a sip of the wine glass and drank it clean, "Ah! That's nice! Do you know that this glass of wine with ice cubes can be sold for ten taels of silver in the Qinhuai River, and there is no market, and the old man will be admired in history. ”
What kind of logic is this, a person who has been a prime minister wants to leave a name in history with a glass of wine, no wonder Lao Zhu does not let him be the chief official of the province.
"Then you can brew more, you can't starve to death without a title, just this one recipe is enough to make your descendants clothed and fed."
"The old man also wants to make more, but this wine is not resistant to preservation, and it will become sour and lose its taste after a long time."
Ma Du smiled and said: "This is simple, your wine shop can cooperate with my glass workshop to ensure that you make a lot of money." ”
"The old man can trust you, have another cup to wish us a prosperous business, hehe......"
Ma Du drank dry, "Leave the business affairs to me, you can come to the academy to teach, are you really going to drink and wait for death?" ”
Wang Guangyang waved his hand vigorously, "The old man doesn't go, Ye Dui's old old man will definitely not allow the old man to drink in the academy." When Zhu Yunsheng passed away, you should have invited the old man to be the mountain chief. ”
"Mr. Wang, do you think I can have the final say on who will be the mountain chief, Mr. Ye was invited by Mr. Zhu, and the emperor nodded and agreed, so I can't control it. You can come, about drinking, I can discuss with Mr. Ye and ask him to give you accommodation......"
Zhang Wuliu hurriedly ran into the hall and said, "Grandpa, the emperor is here!" ”
The drunken Wang Guangyang stood up, "Xuanzhong, the old man hides first, don't say that the old man is here." ”
Ma Du grabbed him, "What are you hiding, the emperor can still eat you, if you let the emperor know that you are here to avoid it, it will not be good, five or six hurry up and open the middle door to welcome you!" ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, the emperor didn't come up to our house, so he took the emperor's eldest grandson and cousin to the slide!"
