Chapter 116: Return to Liangshan
Du He knew that they were leaving, so he hurriedly asked Cheng Yanjin about distilling fine wine; Cheng Yanjin asked Qi Wuxing to set up a still, pour the wine into the container below, and then start a fire to start distilling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This jar was full of ten catties of wine, and as time passed, a rich aroma slowly began to emerge from a small tube sticking out from the top.
Du He leaned over at once, almost stuck his nose on the iron pipe, and inhaled the aroma hard, his face was as ruddy as the wine was drunk.
Gradually, small tubes began to stick out of the fragrant liquid; Cheng Yanjin found a big bowl and continued below. Du He and the others were already a little impatient, and they all wanted to grab it and take the first sip.
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand to stop them: "Wait, the first ones that come out contain more toxic substances and can't be drunk directly; But there's a lot of wine in it; It can be added to the next jar to enhance the aroma of the wine; Let's keep it for later. ”
After receiving two large bowls of more than half a catty, the wine behind it became clearer and clearer, and the aroma was reduced; Cheng Yanjin took out a small cup and took one for everyone to taste.
Everyone followed Cheng Jin's example and took a small bite, and they felt a hot feeling rushing to their throats, and everyone opened their mouths as if spewing fire.
"Good wine! Take a sip of it, and all I used to drink was sake lees! Du He was so excited that tears remained. Jincheng and Niu Gai had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that it was finally their turn, they muttered: "Why use a small lamp, it's too small!" As he spoke, he poured this one into it in one gulp.
"Ahem, cough, cough" The two guys instantly turned into big red faces and began to cough incessantly; provoked Cheng Biting Jin and others to laugh for a while; Dongfang Yumei and Jiang Jian looked curious, and they had to join in the fun, but as a result, their faces turned into red apples as soon as they took a bite, and they kept spitting out the smell of wine.
Coupled with what everyone drank, there were more than three catties of it, and Cheng Biting Jin extinguished the flame and said: "There is more water in the back, and the taste is sour; However, it can be sold according to the next grade; I think there will be a lot of people who will want it. ”
Du He nodded again and again after hearing this, and said to Cheng Yanjin: "Brother Cheng Xian, I want this artifact of yours, you just have to make a price!" ”
Cheng Yanjin was stunned and smiled: "Brother Du, with our friendship, there is nothing to give you this thing; However, this is related to the national plan that I discussed with the second son of the Li family, and it cannot be universally promoted yet.
So be it! Brother Du, how about I buy your old Du Kang wine and give it to you after processing? ”
Du He's eyes rolled, and his ten catties of good wine in this jar can probably produce about four catties of good wine, of course, if you count the second wine in the back, you can still have more. However, in addition to selling the wine to others and turning the profits, it is enough to get 10% of the good wine for nothing; Moreover, these people are doing great things at a glance, and there will be no loss with them; You can't be too greedy!
"Good! Brother Cheng Xian is really happy, so he will do as you say! How much Doon do you need for the first time? ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed: "Of course, the more the merrier, Brother Du, you should prepare well!" ”
Du He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to pick it up from the winery for you in a while; But I'm a heavy drinker; After drinking such a good wine, it is inevitable that my original wine will be dull and tasteless, you have to make me ten jars and eight jars first, and it will be counted as the cost of selling wine first. ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed when he heard this: "Brother Du told me to dare to disobey my orders, bring me wine!" ”
Early the next morning, Cheng Yanjin and the others packed their luggage and Du He said goodbye, and the group set off for Luoshui.
Board the boat at the ferry, and then everyone goes straight to Liangshan; When I came out, it was full of goods, and when I went back, it was still full, but it had been replaced by people.
Cheng Yanjin looked at the ship full of elites, a little complacent; This trip to Taiyuan not only saved Zhang Ding, but also Zhang Ding and Li Shimin talked and gave up their plan to dominate the Central Plains. He plans to go back and sell his property, and then develop the sailor with Cheng Yanjin and expand his territory overseas.
For his arrival, Cheng Bingjin welcomed him with both hands, and he had a headache for the selection of generals for the navy. Liang Menglong is already old, and the nursing home may be okay, but he can't withstand the drift at sea; Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue were born as water thieves, and it is okay to fight fiercely, but it is not enough to support the overall situation alone; The remaining Wang Ying is still a little immature and can't afford the big task of the navy.
Cheng Yanjin is different from others, in his eyes, the navy is as important as the army; It's a trump card in his hand. Now with Zhang Ding joining, the problem of the generals of the water army is easily solved, and with the assistance of Lu Xingxing and others, the Liangshan Water Army will definitely develop rapidly.
In addition, the connection between Cheng Yanjin and Zhou Shaoji has not been broken, and this year Emperor Yang of Sui will send another army to Goguryeo; However, because Yang Xuangan rebelled, he returned halfway. Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang had not yet left at that time, and they rushed to Luoyang as soon as possible to quell Yang Xuangan's rebellion and left Shandong; Cheng Yanjin still wants to pay attention to other people's sailors?
A few days later, the big ship entered Shandong, and then drifted into Dongping Lake. Those who have not been to Yangsan these days listen to the sailors boasting about how Yangsan is amazing; Now that we have finally arrived in Liangshan, this will also be the place where everyone will live and work for a period of time in the future; They all ran to the bow of the boat and watched.
When they returned, it was evening, and the sunset in the west dressed up the cold Dongping Lake in winter; The Liangshan Shui Division, who had already received the letter, had already lined up to welcome the return of the leader.
The dull sound of the bull's horn sounded, and a neat line lined up on the river beach, waiting for the review; Du Ruhui led all the villagers and Liang Shitai and other generals to greet them at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Song, Dongwang Yumei, and other people who came to Liangshan for the first time all looked at the strange team in front of them curiously; You can feel the thriving momentum from them.
The art camp and the medical camp, these fresh objects, have opened the eyes of these people; Dongfang Yumei looked at these female soldiers in military uniforms, her eyes flashed, and her mind kept turning.
After reviewing the team, Cheng Yanjin and them, accompanied by everyone, came to Snow Dragon Peak; Everyone met and exchanged two words, and then Du Ruhui arranged for them to go to wash and rest first; In the evening, we will pick up the wind and wash the dust together for everyone.
Now it is the cold winter of the number nine, and the cold wind on Liangshan is biting; Although he was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Jiang Song was still a little worried that his mother and wife's bodies would not be able to stand it. I didn't know that when he came to Qinglong Mountain. Pushing open the bedroom door, a breath of heat made him feel like he was under the warm spring sun.
They hurried into the house, but found no brazier or stove; It's no different from other houses; It's just that there are more pendants on the wall that are coiled with iron pipes.
Jiang Song welcomed his mother into the house, and they took off the thick cotton clothes outside; Jiang Song touched the iron pipe with his hand, which was a little hot; You know that the heat in the house is coming from here.
"What is this? How can it be hot? Jiang Song asked strangely to help clean up the servants; The man smiled slightly: "This is the heating, and all the hot water in it is walking." Originally, I installed it for the old lady by our chief manager, but now it has been popularized in Qinglong Mountain; There is a special person who is responsible for boiling water. ”
The servant settled them down and said to Jiang Song, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the bathroom; The hot water is already boiling, and everyone can go and wash the dust. ”
Jiang Song stretched his waist and said, "As soon as he said it, I was really a little tired; Mother, go wash first. Let's go to our house and have a look. ”
In the evening, everyone changed into new clothes and followed the servants to the council hall of Xuelong Mountain; There was no heating in the house, but the brazier and stove were burning, and the room was warm.
Someone led them to a seat, Cheng Yanjin sat on the main seat, picked up the wine glass in his hand and said: "Everyone, first of all, let's welcome a few heroes who came to our Liangshan to participate in the righteous deed; Everyone welcomes them to come, please drink this cup together! ”
"Good!" Everyone agreed and drank the wine in one go; Cheng Yanjin poured another cup and said: "The second cup congratulates us Liangshan, and we can rise higher and higher in the days to come; Keep up with the day! The crowd said hello and drank a full glass again.
