On March 3, the weather was new, and there were many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an.

The sun is shining, the spring flowers are blooming, the weeping willows on the bank of the Wei River are full of new green, and the peach blossoms have also been sprouted.

Peach and willow green, rippling blue waves, a gust of spring breeze blowing, peach blossoms falling, drifting by water, rippling with a piece of pink, beautiful.

The young men and women in thin spring shirts were intoxicated and lingered, and the laughter like silver bells could be heard in the distance.

Even the clear water sent by the cylinder car has an extra fragrance of peach blossoms.

Chen Yu set up a small courtyard next to the tofu workshop by the river, and asked the craftsmen to make a set of utensils, and then he worked in it alone.

The principles of winemaking are not difficult, but it is not easy to move from theory to practice, and it requires experimentation.

The easiest way is to purify the existing liquor of Datang, and after Chen Yu tried it, the alcohol content did come up a lot.

However, the taste of the wine brewed from the fruit is ordinary, and the purification cost is slightly higher, so it is possible in the short term, and it is advisable to brew it by itself in the long term.

What's more, Chen Yu wanted to build his own brand.

Fermentation is an extremely important step in sake brewing, and koji containing yeast is indispensable, but fortunately, the method is recorded in the "Qi Min Yao Shu".

Chen Yu only needs to use his own knowledge, as well as the few chemical and biological knowledge he has, to continuously optimize it.

After that, the grain is soaked with water, steamed and cooled, koji is added, and it is sealed into a large ceramic vat for fermentation.

However, the alcohol content of the fermentation is not high, at most 20 percent, and now Datang's winemaking technology is basically at this step.

Distillation is undoubtedly a crucial step in order to increase the exact content.

The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, so you only need to build a set of utensils, and when heated, the alcohol will evaporate first, cool and condense.

Looking at the wine flowing in the small bamboo tube, exuding a rich aroma of wine, Chen Yu showed a satisfied smile.

After a little refinement, you can invite Changsun Chong and Du Wei to come and taste it, and start to expand production.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

The brewing technology is high, so it needs to be kept secret, so in addition to carrying utensils, the small courtyard is strictly forbidden for others to enter and exit, Rong Niang is naturally an exception.

After days of experiments, I finally relaxed today, and when I looked up, I saw Rong Niang holding a food box, standing in front of me with a smile.

For a moment, Chen Yu couldn't help but be in a trance.

It's only been two or three months, and the little girl seems to have changed.

It is said that the eighteen changes of the female college are really so.

Rong Niang is thirteen years old, and after entering the belated adolescence, she has grown rapidly.

The height has grown a lot, and the figure is getting plump day by day, especially the peaks and peaks on the chest have begun to rise, and there is a tendency to grow and straighten.

After the long opening, the appearance looks a lot more delicate, especially after knowing how to dress up recently, it is even more delicate.

Maybe it was too amazing, Chen Yu couldn't help but look at it twice.

Rong Niang, who didn't care about it before, turned out to be shy, and her cheeks suddenly flushed.

Chen Yu knew that this was all caused by his mother's words.

A few days ago, her mother Chen made a new dress for Rong Niang, and laughed that it was made for her daughter-in-law.

From that day on, Rong Niang would be shy when she saw Chen Yu again.

This family affair is not sudden, and the mother and the second uncle Xu have actually had a tacit understanding.

In the early years, the mute aunt had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Rong Niang, and fell ill, and she had no heirs since then, and she regarded Chen Yu as a parent for many years.

In the past, no matter what was in the house, Chen Yu was the first thing to follow, and Second Uncle Xu and his wife did not hesitate to treat their daughter badly.

If there was no Second Uncle Xu all these years, their mother and son would not have been able to survive in this difficult world.

Therefore, the mother Chen had already had this intention, and asked Chen Yu to marry Rong Niang, and the two families were completely integrated into one family, and they would provide for the second uncle Xu and his wife in the future.

It was a little sudden, but Chen Yu did not object.

First, Rong Niang is delicate, gentle and lovely, and she is a good woman.

Second, since he is a little fish, some responsibilities are taken for granted.

However, Chen Yu opposed early marriage, and the little girl was treated as an adult just after the first arrival of the sunflower.

Are you kidding?

Although it is common for a Datang woman to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Chen Yu can't do such a "beast is not as good" thing.

Letting a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who is not yet physically mature take the risk of childbirth early is completely harmful to nature and disregard human life.

Fortunately, my mother and Second Uncle Xu are both understandable people, anyway, it's like this, it doesn't matter sooner or later.

However, on weekdays, let them have more contact, and even grind their ears and temples, both sides do not object, and they are even happy to see it.

Rong Niang quickly put a few side dishes and a bowl of rice on the small table, and then sat down obediently on the side.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Hmm!"

Chen Yu picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and nodded again and again.

"It tastes good, Rong Niang's craftsmanship is good!"

"My mother gestured to me and said, in the future... You can't always let Brother Yu cook. ”

"It seems that my Rong Niang has begun to learn to be a good wife and mother."

Chen Yu quipped, Rong Niang's face suddenly flushed, turned to the side, looked at the wine flowing out of the bamboo pipe, and said in surprise: "What a strong aroma of wine." ”

"Would you like to try it?" Chen Yu stretched out his chopsticks, lightly touched them, and brought them to Rong Niang's mouth.

Rong Niang hesitated slightly, stuck out her tongue, and immediately frowned.

"It's spicy..."

"That's right."

"Brother plays tricks on people......"

"What's the matter, I expect to make some money from it and give you a dowry!"

Chen Yu said a few words, and joked about love without a trace, where could the pure and lovely little girl parry, and her face was red in an instant.

Seeing this, Chen Yu was full of smiles, but in a blink of an eye, he found the dumb aunt standing at the door.

"Moles" his fiancée, but was hit by the future mother-in-law's pretend, so he was not embarrassed.

When the dumb aunt saw this, she smiled.

Chen Yu was fine, Rong Niang He En was embarrassed, and hurriedly turned around, her cheeks becoming more and more rosy.

"Second aunt, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Chen Yu asked with an embarrassed smile.

"Ahh Ahh

The mute aunt gestured her fingers with an anxious expression.

After getting along for a long time, Chen Yu and Rong Niang immediately understood what the dumb aunt meant.

There are a lot of people in the village...... The situation is not good...... Li is looking for him in an emergency.

What's the situation?

Chen Yu frowned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you help me watch it here, I'll take a look." ”

The dumb aunt nodded, and gestured to tell Chen Yu and Rong Niang to be careful.

It seems that there are uninvited guests in the village, and the people who come are not good.

The two hurried to the entrance of the village, but saw a group of people around the tofu workshop and the farmhouse restaurant.

"Uncle Gen, what's going on?"

"Brother Yu, you're here, someone wants to buy land..."

"Buying land?"

"That's right!"

A freshly dressed and angry slave said proudly: "My master has taken a fancy to this piece of land on the bank of the Wei River, and wants to build another courtyard here, and I have come to discuss the sale with you today." ”

That's what happened!

Fanchuan has beautiful scenery, and there are indeed many large families who build villas here, and it is not surprising that some people fancy the land near Ju'anli.

But......

"I'm sorry, but the land here is where the livelihood of our village lies, and it can't be transferred."

The village's ration fields, as well as the most profitable tofu workshop and farmhouse are all here, and the villagers are reluctant to sell their land at all.

"It's best not to toast and not eat and drink, my master's fancy feng shui treasure, you have to let it, and you have to let it if you don't let it."

The slave was arrogant, obviously from a powerful family, and the villagers couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Their only hope is Chen Yu, the prime minister has come to the door, the emperor gave a plaque, and it is said that a few days ago, a noble son in brocade clothes came to visit.

Chen Yu is the most powerful person in the whole Ju'anli, and he is also the owner of most of the industries, and the villagers have high hopes for him.

"Dare to ask your master?"

"Less nonsense, should it be?"

"Sorry, no."

The livelihood of the whole village is located, all kinds of workshops, and industrial planning are all by the river, and the land can never be sold.

"Boy, don't ask for hardship. Now that the transfer is made, there can still be compensation with money, but it's too late... You've got to cry and kneel to offer the title deed, huh! ”

"Don't be ashamed, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, I won't sell it, how are you going?"

Chen Yu is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, and it's just that the powerful and powerful slaves are bullying others, and they are so rampant.

He didn't believe that the magnates of Datang would be so shameless and arrogant.

Even if someone is so arrogant, they may have been afraid in the past, but now... Unafraid!

The liquor has already come out of the pot, so we have to ask Changsun Chong and Du Gou to come over as soon as possible......
