Three days later, in the early morning, the Gongyuan finally released the list.

In the past three days, Qian Jin has been closed, pondering the affairs of the wine shop in the courtyard.

There are many types of Chen Guojiu, and there are no less than 30 kinds of grain wine, sorghum wine, fruit wine, flower wine, and medicinal wine. At first, he planned to make high-grade wine, after all, he had steamed a few pots when he was in Guanhai City, and he also had some experience. As a result, after coming to the north, I found that there was a high degree of wine sold in the market, with a concentration of about 50 degrees, using the method passed from the Western Regions.

He had never seen high-grade liquor in the south, and at first he thought it was the reason why he couldn't do it, but later he learned that southerners were not used to drinking spirits, and the north was the place where high-grade liquor was popular. The main reason is because of the cold weather in the north, and the common people and the soldiers guarding the customs like to drink high alcohol to drive away the cold, and they will get used to drinking it over time. It's just that the main ingredients of Fangshi's high liquor are ethanol and water, and most of the essence substances are left in the steamer when distilled, and the taste of this wine is poor.

Therefore, Qian Jin's initial idea was to add another rectification to the existing distillation process to make alcohol with a degree of more than 70 degrees, and then blend it with ordinary liquor. In this way, he was able to create a high-altitude wine with a concentration close to 50°C and a good taste.

Just as he was thinking about it, a few hearty laughter came from outside. Qian Jin dropped the pen and paper in his hand and opened the door to take a look, only to see Jin Taiming and Liao Donglin walking into the courtyard talking and laughing, so he asked, "Two brothers, why are you so happy?" ”

Liao Donglin saw Qian Jin and said with a smile: "Brother, I said that this big happy event came to the door, and you are still nested in this courtyard." ”

"Could it be that the list has not been released?" Qian Jin asked.

"Exactly, the two brothers are on the list. Brother Liao is the third place in the exam this time, and the elder brother is the tenth place. Next to Jin Taiming said.

Hearing this, Qian Jin couldn't help muttering in his heart. After the exam, he estimated that he could probably get a rating for these eight strands, and it was no problem for Chen Lu to get a comment, but it was estimated that this strategy did not have an advantage. Perhaps those examiners did not dare to judge lightly after reading "The Wealth of Nations", so they gave a decent judgment.

However, it was not bad to win the tenth place. This time, the three of their friends won two tribute students, and Xu Baolu, as the parent official of the place of origin, was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut after knowing the news.

"It's just that Brother Jin is a pity." Qian Jin couldn't help but regret.

"Don't say that, brother. I've figured it out for the past few days, and I feel a lot more refreshed. Jin Taiming said with a smile.

At this time, the silkworm girl came out of the stove room with tea. Liao Donglin often comes to the courtyard, and knows the story of Qian Jin naming the silkworm girl Hua Qianxue, so he quipped: "Flower girl, your son-in-law will try to win the list, don't you invite us to drink?" ”

Silkworm Niang had just heard a few people talking, so she said a blessing and said with a smile: "My own master is in high school, of course Silkworm Niang is happy." I just heard that Liao Gongzi is also in high school, and it happens to be a double happiness. The silkworm girl will now go to the fang market to buy some wine and food, and celebrate the two masters together. ”

After that, the silkworm girl cleaned up and wanted to go out. Qian Jin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Hua, come back with five catties of mutton, buy some greens, and let's brush the hot pot today." ”

The silkworm mother said yes and went out.

After coming to the capital, Qian Jin made a mutton hot pot, and everyone was full of praise after eating it. In the north, it is very difficult to eat beef, the government strictly prohibits the slaughter of cultivated cattle, compared to the time when Guanhai City, there is still beef for sale in the market every three or five times.

"Brother, you don't go out and walk around even if you hit the list? Accumulate more contacts and move around the officialdom in the future. Liao Donglin reminded.

"Hey...... After the trial, there is also a palace test, and I have a headache when I think about it. "Qian Jin is also telling the truth, this imperial examination is really five levels and six generals, and I am really tired of the test.

"There is still a month of palace exams left and right, and it is better for my brother to prepare at home." Liao Donglin explained.

"Tomorrow has its own tomorrow, the two brothers will try my craft more." Qian Jin said with a smile.

After the silkworm girl bought the meat back from the fang market, Qian Jin raised her sleeves and went into battle in person and made a pot of fragrant hot pot. Even Liao Donglin praised: "Brother, you can be a chef with this skill." ”

"Brother Liao laughed......"

After lunch, Liao Donglin said that he was going to a poetry meeting and invited Qian to go with him. Qian Jin knew how many pounds and taels he had, and this poem was the first headache for him, and he always plagiarized the ancients and felt ashamed, so he politely refused.

……

After Liao Dong left, Qian Jin continued to study the winery in the house. Jin Taiming didn't know where to find a new book, and after dinner, he couldn't wait to go back to the room to observe. The Li Liang brothers and sisters have been having a good time with their friends recently, and they continued to play their games after dinner. In the courtyard, only the silkworm girl was busy with some work, but it seemed a little quiet.

In the afternoon, I suddenly heard a coquettish cry from the silkworm girl, and then there was no movement.

Qian Jin thought that the robbers were bad at home, so he hurriedly rushed out with a knife, only to see the silkworm girl fall into the arms of a female nun, and it was estimated that she had fainted. Look at the nun again, about forty years old, wearing a brown plain dress, and stroking a stalk of Buddha dust.

"Mrs. Shi, is there any misunderstanding?" Qian Jin was worried about the safety of the silkworm girl, and hurriedly took the word to stabilize the nun.

The nun glanced at the silkworm girl in her arms and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so tight, could it be that your sweetheart is not successful?" ”

Qian Jinzhen's face was flushed, and he hurriedly swept the Miao knife towards the nun's heel. The nun swept the dust, rolled the Miao knife in front of her, and then hit the money into the hemp hole in her right hand with the dusting handle as fast as lightning. Just listened to the sound, and the Miao knife in Qian Jin's hand had already landed. From the knife to the grounding, there is less than a breath of time.

"Master......" Qian Jin shouted in his heart.

Since Qian entered and exited Guanhai City, this was the first time he had met a real martial arts master, and he had been taking advantage of the Miao Sword before, but he was used to it a little smooth. Looking at the soft silkworm girl, although Qian Jin was anxious, he was helpless for a while.

Jin Taiming heard the noise in the house and hurriedly came out to investigate. Qian Jin kept glancing at him, but the latter didn't understand what he meant, and when he saw that the silkworm girl was controlled, he wanted to save him. The nun pointed out again, and Jin Taiming immediately fell to the ground.

Qian Jin couldn't help sighing and said, "Mrs. Shi, what do you want, and draw a line." ”

The nun looked at Qian Jin carefully and said with a smile: "En...... It's much better than your dancing uncle. ”

"Uncle?"

"Isn't that kid your uncle?"

"Mrs. Shi, can you put down the silkworm girl and then speak?"

It was also a little inconvenient for the nun to hold the silkworm girl all the time, so she gave Qian Jin a look. Qian Jin hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and then carried the silkworm back to the room, and gently applied some water on her face.

The silkworm girl woke up slowly, saw Qian Jin's concerned eyes, and said hurriedly: "Master, is there a strong man in the family?" ”

Qian Jin motioned for her not to speak, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's just that a master is here." You stay in your room and don't come out...... If I go out, I don't have to leave dinner for me. ”

The silkworm girl nodded. Qian Jin ran into the courtyard and carried Jin Taiming to his bed. After finishing his work, Qian Jin saluted the nun and said, "Master, please speak in the hall." ”

The nun nodded, and then went into the hall with the money and sat down. Qian Jin went to the stove room again and was busy, and came out with a cup of hot tea.

"Mrs. Shi, please use tea."

"Hmm...... I can't see that you're a very careful kid. It's much better than that stinky boy back then. ”

"Uh...... Mrs., could it be that my uncle offended you back then? ”

The nun sighed and said, "Sixteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and we pity our princess for waiting for her for sixteen years. It's just that...... Who was right and who was wrong in the past, where is it still clear. ”

Qian Jin had also heard Xu Baolu say that his uncle had something to do with the princess in the capital. Looking at the posture of this nun and nun, most of them were people from the princess's side, so she asked her the details: "Dare to ask the master Taifa number?" ”

"Poor Ni Huijing, I have offended a lot just now, and I ask the donor to forgive me."

"The teacher is too polite...... The grievances and hatreds of the previous generation are not well understood by the younger generations. ”

"That's it...... I also recently heard the princess say that one of his nephews came to the capital, so I came to take a look. ”

Qian Jin remembered that when he left Pingchang Mansion, Wen Xun had asked him to hand over a letter, so he hurriedly went back to the room to take it out. He had been busy with the examination during this time, and he didn't know the way, so he delayed this matter.

"Mrs., when I left Pingchang Mansion, my uncle once asked me to hand over a letter to the princess."

I saw Hui Jingteng stand up and said angrily: "If you have a letter, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Qian Jin wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart that as soon as you came in, you will do it, how can I have a chance to speak.

Over there, Hui Jing took the letter with trembling hands slightly, and muttered, "The letter is here...... I've written to ......."

Qian Jin secretly said that his uncle's broken letter is worth being so excited about. Hui Jing saw Qian Jin glancing at herself, so she glared at him, and after a while, she asked, "Is Erya back?" ”

"Erya? That stupid horse, you say? ”

Seeing that Hui Jing looked like she was about to go crazy, Qian Jin hurriedly stopped talking and said, "Mrs. Shi, please wait a while, I'll go and bring it here." ”

Half an hour later, Qian Jin led the second girl into the courtyard. Hui Jing had already come out, touching and scratching the stupid horse. Erya seems to be very familiar with her, and rubs her hands affectionately with her head from time to time.

Qian Jin stood with his back to him, and said in his heart that he had taken little care of Erya during this time, but he must not be seen by this Hui Jing. I don't know what I'm worried about, and suddenly a strong force came from my buttocks, and Qian Jin flew out more than two meters away, and fell into the mud.

"Mrs. Shi, if you have something to say......

"This mane is scabbed, how do you take care of it?"

Qian Jin wanted to cry without tears, no wonder his uncle asked him to take care of Erya before leaving, he forgot about it when he was busy during this time, and the report in front of him was also fast.

He hurriedly fetched two buckets of water from the well, endured the smell of Erya's body, and its 'ridicule', and brushed it all over his body. After a busy meal, Erya also became clean and tidy, and had the momentum of a horse.

Hui Jing couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "Let's go......"

"Where to go?"

"Don't ask, just follow me."

Qian Jinxin said that an elderly woman can't be provoked, and an elderly teacher can't be provoked, this turning his face is faster than turning a book.
