Chapter 34: Three bowls do not return home
The three of them hit the horse and entered Weizhou City, the sky was gradually getting dark, and then this way, the three of them were not as comfortable as before, it was really a boring thing to hurry, and they were in a hurry for several hours, and there was still the previous state.

The three big men moved the boxes into the yard, and the Xu family also came out with Jin Cuilian to take a look, and it was strange to see that the three of them also brought two boxes back. took out a hot cloth towel and handed it to the three of them to wipe it, and after the salute, Xu spoke.
"Officer, what's in this box?"
"I didn't count it carefully, about four or five thousand taels of silver, the lady counted it, divided it into three parts, one for each of the three of us." Zheng Zhi replied while wiping the dust off his face. In this northwest place, the dust is really not small, and you can rub mud pills on your face when you travel for a day.
"Huh?? With so many taels of silver, where did the officials get them? I can't help but be surprised by Xu's not surprised, more than a month ago, the whole net worth of this family was only more than 1,000 taels, and suddenly there were 4,000 or 5,000 taels, how could I not be surprised. Even the last time I settled the accounts and dividends in the mall, I only got more than 400 taels of silver in the first month.
"Sister-in-law, I have a good fight with my brother todayγγγγγ" Shi is fast, and his face is full of excitement and he is about to say what is glorious today.
"Ahem." Zheng Zhi hurriedly coughed, and then dropped the spear that was divided into two pieces on the ground, making a big noise, interrupting Shi Jin to speak. Zheng Zhi's meaning is also obvious, when he goes out to fight with others, where can he come back and tell his wife, this has to be said, and there is no need to sleep when he chatters at night.
Shi Jin immediately seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped speaking, and stopped talking, obviously thinking about words to round the words.
"Uncle, why didn't you say anything in the middle of your sentence?" Xu Shi hurriedly asked again.
"Today, my two brothers and I fought in Jinglue Mansion, fought all over Jinglue Mansion, and the prince was very happy, so I rewarded these silver taels. Brother Tiha, huh? Shi Jin reacted very quickly, but it was a lie, and he was a little weak in his heart, and finally asked Luda in the back and asked him to testify.
Luda was going to open the two boxes just now, and just stepped forward, I don't know why, I heard Shi Jin ask yes, Luda glanced at Shi Jin, then looked at Zheng Zhi, and replied: "Yes. . . bar. β
Xu smiled, looking extremely happy, happy that his own officials could be rewarded by a small race. It's just that how did she know that no matter how generous this little kind of minister is, it is impossible to directly reward his subordinates with thousands of dollars. This Huayin County came to invite the small breed minister to send troops to suppress the bandits, and the price was only 5,000.
"Lady, you divide this reward and find a package for the two brothers." Zheng Zhi also diverted the topic.
Hearing this, Xu took Jin Cuilian and prepared to go back to the room to find some unused old linen cloth to make a package.
"Brother, carry it in, don't divide it, the silver of the Sprinkle family will be stored here for my brother, and I will take it again if I have expenses, and the Sprinkle family is alone, and no one will take care of it at home, for fear that the thieves will worry about it." Luda opened his mouth and said that he put the silver taels directly here with Zheng Zhi, firstly, it was also the reason he said, and secondly, he was even more anxious to go out to the Panjia Restaurant to have a good drink.
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, mine is also placed there for you, and you can use it if you have any expenses." Shi Jin doesn't need to keep any money by himself, he lives in Zheng Zhi's place, so it is better to take care of the Xu family directly.
After saying that, Ruda turned around and took out a few ingots of silver from the box and stuffed them into his arms, then covered the box. Shi Jin also took out some silver taels from another box and covered the box.
"The concubine still went back to the room to get the package out, so that she could divide the silver with the two uncles." Xu didn't refuse, but even if she wanted to keep the silver here for safekeeping, in her heart, she still had to distinguish it carefully.
The three of them no longer cared about the silver business, and went to the right wing room together to see Wang Jin, and then went straight to the Pan family restaurant.
On the way, Zheng Zhi watched left and right, and suddenly said: "Luda, Da Lang, how about my brother opening a restaurant in this city?" β
"Open a restaurant? Ha ha... That's excellent, and the Sprinkle family goes to my brother's restaurant every day to eat and drink, so as not to make money by others. Ruda had a simple idea, just thinking that there would be a place to eat and drink in the future.
"You... If I open a restaurant, both of you will come to buy shares, how can I open it alone. It's good to have money and everyone earns it together. Zheng Zhi also thinks this in his heart, Zheng Zhi has been a soldier for more than ten years in his previous life, and he has not seen much social deception, and he is still a relatively simple-minded person in this regard.
"That's better, you don't have to pay for the family's food." Luda, a man, has no business in his mind at all.
"Brother Tiha is right, I don't have to pay for food, haha..." Shi Jin is even younger, and he really thinks that what Luda said makes sense.
Zheng Zhi shook his head, and didn't say much, talking about business with these two people was really playing the piano to the cow.
When the shopkeeper saw the three of them coming in, he hurriedly nodded and waited aside.
"Bring all the best wine you have here, the Sprinkle family has money today, and if there are any good dishes, bring them to the Sprinkle family." I think that this Luda is really not rich on weekdays, and when he talks today, he has the smell of a local tyrant entering the city.
As soon as Xiao Er heard this, he nodded even more, and was very happy, and went to prepare after responding again and again.
The best wine came up, Zheng Zhi poured it into the bowl and looked at it carefully, the pale red wine was not turbid, it was quite clear. This good wine in the northwest is naturally sorghum wine.
Take a sip, it can be regarded as spicy, Zheng Zhi was in the army in his last life, and he has tasted all kinds of good wines, and he still has certain opinions about liquor, and the wine he drinks now has an alcohol content of up to 20 degrees, which is more than forty or fifty degrees worse than the liquor in later generations, and the taste is also sour.
This makes Zheng Zhi can't help but feel a little nostalgic for the taste of the good wine in his previous life, if he can brew the good wine of his previous life, the idea of opening a restaurant is no problem, and he will inevitably have a lot of money.
But when it comes to winemaking, Zheng Zhi really doesn't have this craft, and he knows a little bit in principle, but if Zheng Zhi brews it himself, it is obviously a fantasy.
Looking at this sorghum wine, which is not bad, Zheng Zhi's mind suddenly flashed, he didn't know how to brew it, but there was still a way to purify this low-degree wine, and he seemed to remember a very simple way, which was to put this quicklime into the wine and then filter it.
Quicklime reacts chemically with the water in the wine to produce calcium hydroxide, also known as hydrated lime. Naturally, the water in this wine becomes less, and the quicklime will not react with the alcohol, so the alcohol content will also rise, which is also one of the methods for the purification of modern production of high-purity alcohol. Quicklime is not uncommon in the northwest, and it seems that things are about to be done.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhi couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, you are in a daze and laughing alone, what are you doing?" Luda looked at Zheng Zhi and looked at the wine in a daze, then suddenly laughed again, and asked strangely in his heart.
"Haha. Three bowls are not enough. Zheng Zhi suddenly remembered that the three bowls that Wu Song drank were not enough, according to the Water Margin, it was extremely strong wine, and Zheng Zhi obviously had not seen it. But if you want to say that the purified wine, according to the size of the bowl in front of you, it is basically more than a bowl of one catty, and the wine above forty degrees, how many people can drink three or four catties in a row without getting drunk?
"Brother, why don't you pay three bowls?" Shi Jin was also puzzled.
"It's not that the three bowls don't work, it's that the three bowls don't go home." Zheng Zhi: This is even a marketing advertising word.
