Chapter 13 Distilled Spirits

After half a month of travel, Huo Yu and his entourage successfully arrived in Chen State, Yuzhou, and the first thing they did when they returned to Chen State, Liu Pet announced like all the subordinates of the palace that although Huo Yu was a righteous son, he regarded him as his own and could not be neglected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and then instructed the housekeeper to inform the officials and celebrities of the Chen State that two days later they would hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate their happy son.

In the past two days, under the deliberate arrangement of King Chen, several masterpieces made by Huo Yu have gone viral in the territory of Chen State, and for a while, officials, large and small officials, and major families have begun to collect Huo Yu's information everywhere. As soon as the party Huo Yu arrived in Chen Guo, he arranged for Dian Wei to inquire about the situation of the bandits near Chen Guo, and then went to his father and mother on time every day to ask for peace, and by the way, he talked to Wu, and locked himself in his room for the rest of the time to recall the practice and process of distilling liquor.

Two days later, at noon, the people in King Chen's mansion were full of voices, and Liu Chong officially introduced Huo Yu to the officials of Chen Guo and the people of the major families, saying that "if you get this good child, you will die without regrets"! After the banquet, the drunken Liu Pet called Huo Yu to the study, "My son, after today, no one in Chen Guo will know you Huo Yu, hahaha", "Thank you father-in-law" Huo Yu continued after the luggage, "Father-in-law, is there anyone in the family who knows how to make wine?" Liu Pet thought that Huo Yu wanted to drink, but he didn't care, and told Huo Yu that if there was anything to do, he went to the housekeeper, but Huo Yu had no choice but to say goodbye to his father-in-law.

The next day, let Yu'er find the housekeeper Uncle Seven, who has followed his father-in-law for more than 30 years and is loyal, although his body is thin, his eyes are bright, his walking pace is steady, and he is a shrewd and capable person at a glance.

"Seventh uncle, my father-in-law said that I should look for you if I have something, I want to know if there are blacksmiths and people who know how to make wine in the house?"

"Childe, the palace has a brewery and a blacksmith's workshop, but it is some distance from the palace"

"Is there anyone reliable?"

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll arrange it, it will only take half an hour"

After saluting Huo Yu, he turned around and went out, and in less than half an hour, Uncle Seven came with a blacksmith and a brewer.

"The son has been brought, and the old slave has retired."

"Uncle Seven, wait a minute, this matter is confidential, and I have to bother you to bother more in the future"

Uncle Seven nodded and said no more, so Huo Yu spent more than an hour in front of Uncle Seven to tell the blacksmith and the brewer the items needed to make and the things to prepare in front of Uncle Seven. When Uncle Seven heard this, he knew that this matter was important, and repeatedly promised that he would never leak secrets. Huo Yu saw that the arrangements were in place, so he planned to go around the house to familiarize himself with the familiar environment, and he basically didn't go out for two days, and everything was led by Yu'er, so he told Yu'er to take him around, and he came to a martial arts training ground while walking.

"It's a good way to rob!" A sudden sound interrupted Huo Yu's practice, and Huo Yu turned his head to find a burly man in armor standing on the sidelines.

"Subordinates damn it, disturb the young master's martial arts practice," the man hurriedly saluted.

"It's okay, Yu is also on a whim, dare to ask the general?" Huo Yu asked

"The last general, Liu Ji, is the captain of the guard of Chen Wangfu, and the day before yesterday I heard that the young master is a disciple of the Penglai Gun God, and today he is worthy of his fame."

"Hahaha, General Liu praised it in seconds, everyone in the world is said to be a good crossbow, and the guards are all divine marksmen, I don't know if I can have eyes today?"

"What is so difficult for the young master to see, it's ugly."

After ten crossbow arrows, Huo Yu clapped his hands and said that Liu Ji was not modest, and the two chatted happily, after all, the martial artist was straightforward. It wasn't until Yu'er reminded him to go to Wu's place to ask for peace that Huo Yu said goodbye and left, and made an appointment that he would often go to the military camp to learn in the future.

After another ten days, the seventh uncle of the housekeeper told Huo Yu that everything was ready, and he could go to the winery, and when he went out, Dian Wei returned, and told Huo Yu that the thieves in Chen Guo had been investigated, so he took Dian Wei to make wine together. After arriving at the distillery, Huo Yu inspected the tools used to distill the liquor, and then ordered the fire to be raised and the prepared liquor poured into the utensils. When the sun set, the first batch of distilled liquor was born, and the brewing master present was silent for a long time, and after Huo Yu's consent, except for a pot left for his father-in-law, the rest were divided among everyone. After Dian Wei drank it, he called it immortal brew, and after the seventh uncle drank it, he knew that this matter must not be spread, so he arranged for someone to take care of it, and there was no forgiveness for the leaker.

In King Chen's mansion, after Liu Chong tasted this wine, he asked Liu Ji to take 300 guards to strictly protect the winemaking workshop, and said to Huo Yu: "My son, this wine will be famous all over the world." Huo Yu took the opportunity to give out all his thoughts, and after listening to it, Liu Pet immediately made a decision, this matter was assisted by Huo Yu's full responsibility for the housekeeper Seventh Uncle, and the first two batches of wine were brewed and the latter batch was tributed, and a batch was sold in a small area in Chen Guo, and it was rare and expensive, so the immortal brew 1000 gold jar was definitely worth the money. Then Huo Yu explained all the matters to the seventh uncle one by one, and he started to be the shopkeeper, pulling Dian Wei to go around the guards of Chen Wangfu all day long, although the seventh uncle was tired, he felt that the young master trusted him to arrange it like this, so he did his best.

Most of the people who practice martial arts are straightforward and worship the strong, and the martial arts of Huo Yu and Dian Wei are unmatched, plus Huo Yu does not have a little young master's shelf, and soon Huo Yu and the soldiers of the pro-guard team will mingle. Liu Pet also taught Huo Yu his crossbow shooting skills from time to time, although there are only 500 people in the personal guards, but they are all good at martial arts, not to mention the crossbow shooting technique, there are still many people who shoot seven out of ten.

In December 182 AD, distilled liquor has come out, in addition to the tribute part, the ministers of the court and the central government also have a jar, the distilled liquor on the market in Chen Guo is even more sought-after, the price has even been fried to 3000 gold a jar, Liu Pet saw this smile and kept urging Huo Yu to be suitable to produce the third batch, Huo Yu had no choice but to say that the brewery must be expanded in scale, and now there are not enough manpower, once the scale of the expansion of 300 guards is too busy, in case someone leaks out, it will be worth the loss. Hearing this, Liu Chong frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly said to Uncle Seven: "Ah Qi, quickly go to the Prime Minister, I have something important to discuss." After seeing the housekeeper leave, Liu Pet smiled at Huo Yu and said: "My son, my father knows what you are thinking, besides, there are still 3,000 rhubarb crossbows in Chen Guo's arsenal, no less than 100,000 crossbow arrows, and countless weapons and armor, all of which are accumulated by my ancestors, and there are some things that I can't do clearly in my identity." “

"Thank you father-in-law, the child is also doing this so that Chen Guo can have enough capital to protect himself when the troubled times come."

"For my father to know, you, when the Prime Minister comes, he will be responsible for opening a warehouse and releasing grain to recruit displaced people, so as not to be caught by someone with a heart."

"The child is awake"

Half an hour later, the Minister of State Luo Jun came late, Luo Jun, the word Xiaoyuan, a native of Wusheng County, Huiji County. He worked hard, rewarded production, and helped the people, and was deeply loved by the people, but because he refused to borrow grain, he was killed by Zhang Min, a killer secretly sent by Yuan Shu.
