Chapter 698: Instrument Completion

The big housekeeper, you can come back, the villain is about to send someone to Chang'an to find you in the county, Gutian Village, Liufu, seeing that Liu Wuchen came back from the outside, before entering the mansion gate, the steward Chen Ming trotted out of the mansion, his face was scorched, and his tone was vain, as if he had encountered some big incident.

"Ming Ze, how do you say that you are also the steward of the house, and you should be an example to the subordinates in the house, how can you be so flustered in case of trouble?" Jumping out of the carriage lightly, he scolded Chen Mingze with some reproach, took two steps forward, and stayed close to Chen Mingze's body, and then asked him softly: "Say, what happened in the mansion in the past two days?" How can you be rushed like this? ”

Chen Mingze's personality has always been calm, if something big hadn't happened, it would never have made him so flustered and out of proportion, so while saying these words, Liu Wuchen's heart also became a little tighter.

"Big butler, this is the news that a carrier pigeon domesticated in our house brought back from the northwest border early this morning, please take a look." Bowing down, Chen Ming arched his hands lightly, handed the small bamboo tube that he had been holding in his hand to Liu Wuchen, his voice was still a little impatient, and said: "When the steward of Chongzhou was collecting white stacks in Gaochang, for some reason, he was forcibly detained by the local military department, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Chen Ming's words, Liu Wuchen, who reached out to take the letter, couldn't help but pause with both hands, and the expression on his face became a little heavier, and he was busy raising his hand to open the bamboo tube and unfold the cloth with the message written in it to take a look.

"The big housekeeper, it is the carrier pigeon in our house that flies fast, this letter is sent to our house from the northwest all the way, but it has been three days, and I don't know if the heavy boat steward is carefree in these three days,"

Taking advantage of the time when their housekeeper read the letter, Chen Ming said in a scorching voice on the side: "The barbarians are fierce, and the old man of Hou Junji is the mortal enemy of our house, and the heavy boat steward is now in their hands, it must be more auspicious and less auspicious, the big butler, we have to quickly think of a way to rescue the Liu steward." ”

"This, do you still need to say it?" After reading the letterhead, Liu Wuchen turned his head and glanced at Chen Mingze, signaling him to follow him into the hall, holding the letterhead and walking back and forth in the hall for two steps, and then said softly: "It is not a trivial matter that Chongzhou was arrested, but this Gaochang is thousands of miles away from here?" It's that we have the heart, and we are in a hurry to get on fire here, but it is also the far water that can't save the fire, and there is no way. ”

"Then, are we just watching the heavy boat stewards fall into the hands of Hou Lao'er and ignore them?" As soon as Hou Junji was mentioned, Chen Ming lost all the calmness in the past, and couldn't help but think of him now~ landing on the right leg, if it wasn't for Hou Lao'er's domineering and indiscriminate behavior, he Chen Ming and several other brothers would not end up as disabled as he is now.

"Who says we don't care?" Chen Mingze's mood, Liu Wuchen somewhat understood in his heart, so he didn't take these radical words he said to heart too much, after glancing at him, Liu Wuchen bent down on the chair next to him and sat down, and said softly: "Hou Junji is a general in Gaochang Kingdom, you know, I know, the owner is also very clear in his heart, according to the owner's temperament, do you think the owner will watch his subordinates enter danger and ignore it?" ”

"Before, it was not convenient for the owner to reveal his identity. So there are some things that you don't know. He took a sip of the hot tea on the table. Liu Wuchen whispered to Chen Mingze: "Actually, long before the government decided to let Steward Liu rush to Gaochang to buy Bai Diezi. The eldest young master has already done this. Countermeasures are given accordingly. ”

"You weren't confused before. Why did our Liufu buy Bai Diezi at a price 30% higher than others? And why do you pass by every place? Do you want to take the initiative to sign contracts with local Gaochang officials for ten years or more? ”

If you don't wait for Chen Ming, you will reply. Liu Wuchen continued: "It's not just to break the fortune and prevent the disaster. Let profit and collect people's hearts? If the steward of the heavy boat does everything in the land of Gaochang. They all followed the instructions of the eldest young master before. It's really caught by Hou Junji. At the very least. can also save his life. ”

"This. The big butler. It's Ming who is a little reckless...... "Listen to what Liu Wuchen said." Chen Ming couldn't help but bow his head slightly. There was a look of shame on his face.

"And." He nodded lightly. Liu Wuchen then said to Chen Mingze: "In addition to the fact that the manager of Chongzhou himself is working hard in Gaochangdi. Don't forget. On the Northwest Frontier. We also have a foreign aid in Liufu that is not weak. ”

"The butler said yes. Young Master Helan? Liu Wuchen mentioned this. Chen Ming quickly thought of Gongsun Helan, who was serving on the northwest border at the moment. The sworn brother of their eldest young master.

"After the steward of Chongzhou arrived in Gaochang, he had already greeted Young Master Helan first, and according to Young Master Helan's temperament, if he knew about this matter, he would not stand aside." Liu Wuchen nodded lightly and said, "However, our Liu Mansion has more foreign aid at the border, but there is not only Young Master Helan. ”

After glancing at Chen Mingze, he felt that it was time to reveal something to him, Liu Wuchen lightly put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said lightly: "According to the eldest young master, the eldest son of Master Yang's family is also on the northwest border at this moment, and he has been added as a garrison general. ”

"Master Yang in the county?" Chen Ming's mouth opened wide in surprise, the only family in Sanyuan County that has some kinship with the Liufu family, the middle-aged man who has always behaved like a rich man in the same way? His son is actually a garrison general on the border? Why have you never heard of it before?

"Some things can't be seen clearly just by looking at them, it's good that you understand them in your own heart," Seeing the look of surprise in Chen Mingze's eyes, Liu Wuchen didn't forget to mention it softly, and said, "Don't mention it to outsiders again." ”

"Yes, big butler, Ming understands." Bent over and responded lightly, Chen Ming was faintly happy in his heart, and even told himself about such a secret matter, and it could be seen that their owner and the big housekeeper valued and trusted him a little more.

"There is our Liufu's network under Gaochang Zhan, and there is the heavy military deterrence of Young Master Yang and Young Master Helan outside, that is, no matter how prosperous Hou Jun is in Gaochang Country, he will not dare to act rashly," Liu Wuchen said: "Therefore, in a short period of time, there will be no big problem in managing the heavy boat, and you don't need to be too anxious, and you don't have to tell his family in advance, so that they will be worried." ”

"It's still the young owner who has the most comprehensive plan with the big housekeeper, and Ming knows it." Xiao patted Liu Yiyi and Liu Wuchen on the back

Chen Mingze's heart was also a little calmer, and he didn't respond much anymore

"You go and prepare," nodded lightly, and after thinking for a while, Liu Wuchen said to Chen Mingze: "You will go to Chang'an again on my behalf in a while, there is such a big thing in the house, and you should go to the eldest young master to report it, I can't say that the eldest young master will have a better way, and it may not be." ”

"Yes, Grand Butler."

"Also, since there is an accident on the Gaochang side, the transportation of Bai Diezi will be interrupted for a while, and the matter of building a warehouse in the house will be put aside first," Thinking of the task assigned to him by the eldest young master of their family in Chang'an, Liu Wuchen said softly to Chen Ming: "There is a courtyard dedicated to wine making and wine storage on the east side of the manor, and in a few days, some people will be relocated from Chang'an." ”

"Yes, butler!" After answering, Chen Ming asked Liu Wuchen with some puzzlement: "Steward Liu, forgive the villain for asking a lot, this is wine making and wine storage, our Liufu is going to open a restaurant?" Before the villain came to the house, he had learned the craft of making and steaming wine, and if possible, the villain also wanted to contribute to the wine shop in our house. ”

"Oh? Steward Chen still understands this matter of brewing and steaming wine? This made Liu Wuchen feel a little surprised, and he glanced at Chen Mingze very impressively, and said: "But the affairs in this wine shop, you came to beg me, but you are looking for the wrong person, the eldest young master has ordered before, all the affairs of the Liufu wine shop are all under the responsibility of Liu Cheng's steward, if Chen steward has this thought, if he has time to go to Chang'an, he will go to Liu Cheng to mention it to him." ”

"Liu Cheng is in charge?" Is there such a person in the house? When did there be another steward in the house that he didn't know? Chen Mingze's head was full of question marks, and he looked up at their housekeeper in confusion.

"Liu Cheng, who was in charge of Ma Cheng who left with the owner before, got the pity of the old lady, accepted the righteous son, and gave him the surname Liu."

"In addition to these, there is another thing, sooner or later you will know, it doesn't hurt to inform you in advance, so that you can have a mental preparation in advance." Seeing that Chen Mingze's face was confused, Liu Wuchen spoke lightly and said, "'Get drunk', do you know?" ”

Chen Ming nodded, in recent years, the only restaurant that can compete with 'Yiheju', on par with each other, in the entire territory of Datang, I don't know, I'm afraid there are not many.

"'Three bowls are not enough', have you ever heard of it?"

Chen Ming nodded again, the specialty of 'get drunk', the Tang royal tribute wine, the reason why 'get drunk' has such a place name now, more than half of it is based on these 'three bowls of posts'.

"Then I'll tell you now," Seeing that Chen Ming nodded in response, Liu Wuchen sat up lightly, said bluntly, and said in a loud voice: "The boss who 'got drunk', surnamed Liu, is famous, and he is a steward of my Sanyuan Liu Mansion. ”

"Uh, it's a drunken thing to say', and the 'three bowls are not posted', which are also the industry of our Liufu?!" Surprised, shocked, Ji'er was in a burst of ecstasy from the bottom of his heart, Chen Ming never thought that even when he was taking refuge outside, the young master of their family would still be able to make such an amazing move, and quietly, he would find such a big land and an industry for their Liufu.

Couldn't help but feel glad in his heart that he had decided to stay in Liufu, with a talent like the eldest young master of their family, why wouldn't Liufu prosper? My original choice was right.

"Not bad!" Liu Wuchen didn't feel even the slightest surprise at Chen Mingze's surprised and shocked expression, in fact, it was himself, when he first heard the eldest young master of their family mention this matter to him, Liu Wuchen's heart was also turbulent.

Wen smiled at Chen Mingze and nodded lightly, Liu Wuchen continued: "On this trip to Chang'an, the eldest young master has added the name of the Liu family to the door plaque of 'Get Drunk' with Liu Cheng's steward, and 'Get Drunk' is also officially included in the industry of the Liu family, and by tomorrow at the latest, you can see it in 'Get Drunk' restaurants all over Datang." ”

"Also, I have already mentioned that in a few days, the winery set up in Chang'an City will be moved to our house, and since Steward Chen has been accustomed to winemaking, he might as well mention it to Steward Liu then."

"Well, when the time comes, the villain will definitely ask Steward Liu for advice in person!" At the thought of having the opportunity to contact and participate in the brewing of the Royal Tribute Wine, Chen Mingze's whole person began to be a little excited.

"Well, it's okay, it's not too early, so let's go down and prepare." Looking at the sky outside, it was almost noon, afraid that he would miss the right thing from time to time, Liu Wuchen waved his hand at Chen Mingze and knocked him down.

"Steward Liu, Old Man Yuan has arrived outside the door." Not long after Chen Ming went out, the small porter who was guarding the door outside the mansion gate trotted into the hall and bowed down to report to Liu Wuchen.

"Huh? Yuan Fang? He didn't make utensils at home, how did he get here? Liu Wuchen raised his eyebrows lightly, when he returned from Chang'an just now and passed by Sanyuan County, he deliberately went to Yuan's mansion, and according to the instructions of the young master of their family, he retold the words of the young master to Yuan Fang, why did it take less than an hour for Yuan Fang to run over again?

"Back to the housekeeper, when Old Man Yuan came, he also brought three donkey carts, and each donkey cart was covered with a large cloth, which looked like he had pulled some utensils." Hearing Liu Wuchen's whispering to himself, the little porter was bold enough to interject.

"Oh? He also brought something over? Hearing this, Liu Wuchen suddenly sat up from the chair and said, "Could it be that he has already made all the utensils?" ”

It's only been less than an hour's work, how could Yuan Fang make the most difficult 'stirring car' so quickly?

"Let's go, let's go to the gate of the house together to greet us." Waving his hand at the porter, Liu Wuchen strode out of the living room and walked towards the door of the front yard.

"Steward Liu, the little old man is polite here!" Seeing Liu Wuchen personally greet him from the mansion, Yuan Fang hurriedly jumped off the donkey cart, bowed down to Liu Wuchen and saluted, then turned around with some pride and pointed to the three donkey carts that came with him, and said with a chuckle: "The utensils that your mansion needs, the little old man has already prepared all the utensils, Steward Liu, please take a look." ”-
