Liu Xu got up early in the morning and found that it was raining lightly outside the window.

The light rain outside the window was dripping, and the ticking sound of the light rain falling under the eaves was in my ears, but it was very beautiful, and I was in a good mood, and I could always find fun.

Today, Liu Xu and Cui Ye made an appointment to go to the wine shop to have a look, ready to start their wine sales business.

Yesterday, Liu Xu was at Cui Ye's, and while the two were chatting, the matter of the wine shop was also roughly settled. Liu Xu enjoyed a sumptuous and luxurious meal at Cui Ye's before leaving. However, Liu Xu was not interested in Cui Ye's big meal at Zhong Mingding's food house, and when he left, Liu Xu said: Your family's meal is not as delicious as what I cooked. One sentence almost choked Cui Ye, you must know that the skills of the Cui family's chef are not much worse than the imperial chef. Cui Ye just didn't believe it, and laughed at Liu Xu for boasting. Liu Xu originally wanted to ask Cui Ye to try his craft after going to the wine shop today, but Liu Xu looked at the light rain outside the window and said in his heart: Let's do it another day.

Liu Xu held an oil-paper umbrella and walked on the street.

The autumn rain is like smoke and mist, like an endless picture, which is very beautiful. Liu Xu couldn't help but think: It would be even more perfect if there was another beauty to accompany and swim together in the rain. Liu Xu couldn't help but think of Yunzhu, her elegant temperament seemed to fit this situation very well. Immediately, Liu Xu thought of Xu Jin'er, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he was a person with a fiancée, how could he always think of other beauties, sins, sins.

Liu Xu thought of Xu Jin'er, so he turned from Xinyue Street to the Xu Martial Arts Hall on Shifang Street, he decided to go to the wine shop with Xu Jin'er, and let Xu Jin'er meet Cui Ye by the way, after all, he is his eldest brother, Xu Jin'er wants to meet sooner or later, of course, he can also travel together in the rain to have a romantic time. Liu Xu said in his heart: Brother Ke is also very romantic.

The breeze blew, and a few strings of raindrops gently hit Liu Xu, Liu Xu didn't mind, the rain at this time was so crystal clear, so clean, far cleaner than the dripping rain under the polluted atmosphere in later generations, what does it matter if the rain splashes on his body.

Xu's Martial Arts Hall on Shifang Street, the slightest light rain did not stop the liveliness of the martial arts hall, the sound of martial arts practice, and the bustling laughter did not come from the martial arts hall.

Liu Xu didn't enter from the main entrance of the martial arts hall, Liu Xu used to come to the martial arts hall often, and many people were also familiar with each other.

Liu Xu went directly to the backyard from the side door of the martial arts hall.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Xu Jin'er and her mother under the eaves, chatting and embroidering a red dress. Under the eaves, raindrops flow down in a string, like a curtain of beads, but it is also beautiful.

Liu Xu couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect Xu Jin'er's big surname to be a female celebrity.

When Xu Jin'er heard the footsteps, she couldn't help but look up, and when she saw that it was Liu Xu, two shades of red flew on her face, and she quickly picked up the red dress she was embroidering and ran into the house.

Liu Xu couldn't help but wonder, came to the eaves, put away the umbrella, and saluted Xu's mother: "Hello aunt!" Jin'er, what's going on, why did you see me coming, but I ran away? ”

Mother Xu smiled and said, "It's not that I'm ashamed!" She's embroidering her wedding dress, I'm sorry to see you coming! ”

Xu Jin'er put down the red clothes at this time, and was walking out of the house, when she heard her mother revealing her details, she couldn't help but step forward and grab Xu's mother's arm and shake it gently, and said coquettishly: "Mother, why do you say everything?"

Liu Xu smiled and quipped: "What's so shy about this, take it out and let me see how Jin'er's craftsmanship is?" ”

Xu Jin'er's face couldn't help but turn even redder, and she said coquettishly: "If you don't show it, it's not now that you want to see it." ”

Liu Xu smiled: "Then I'll look at it when you become a bride." ”

Xu Jin'er couldn't help but be even more ashamed, waving her pink fist at Liu Xu like a crab, and said angrily: "You owe a beating, right?" ”

Mother Xu couldn't help laughing and a big bomb hit Xu Jin'er's head, and scolded with a smile: "What a girl, why is she so quiet, so wild all day long, that is, Brother Xu can stand you, and if you want to change someone else, you will be scared away by you." ”

Xu Jin'er pulled Xu's mother's arm again.

After a long time, Mother Xu stopped Xu Jin'er and asked Liu Xu, "Brother Xu'er is here, is there something wrong?" ”

Liu Xu told Xu's mother about his intentions.

Xu Jin'er held an oil-paper umbrella and came out with Liu Xu. Before leaving, Xu's mother did not forget to ask Liu Xu to come to dinner at noon.

Anping Fang is in Nancheng, that is, Nanyang City.

Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er talked and laughed all the way, and went to Nancheng along Haidai Street.

Passing over the Nanyang Bridge, the light rain hit the river surface, stirring up countless ripples and spreading out layer by layer. Looking from the bridge, there are still many painting boats wandering on the surface of the Nanyang River, and it is obvious that those literati and scholars are also enjoying the rain scene.

When Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er came to Cui's Wine Shop on Zhaode Street in Anpingfang, Cui Ye was already waiting here.

When Liu Xu walked into the winery, he saw many helpers in the winery braving the light rain and carrying things.

Cui Ye welcomed the two into the house.

Liu Xu introduced the two to each other first, in fact, the two had already met on the day Kou Zhun tried Liu Xu's case, but they had never met.

Cui Ye said with a smile: "The second brother has such a beautiful wife, which is really the envy of the eldest brother." Cui Ye took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said to Xu Jin'er: "The eldest brother never thought that he would see his younger brother and sister today, nor did he prepare a gift, so he gave his younger brother and sister this jade pendant to talk about his heart." ”

Xu Jin'er's face flushed, and she hurriedly excused herself: "Big brother is polite, how can Jin'er accept such a valuable gift." Xu Jin'er paused, blushed, and said coyly: "That, big brother, people haven't married yet, don't call other people's brothers and sisters now, it's embarrassing." ”

Cui Ye smiled: "Isn't it going to be married sooner or later, let's accept this gift from the eldest brother first."

Xu Jin'er just didn't want it, Cui Ye insisted on letting Xu Jin'er accept it.

Liu Xu remembered how busy everyone was when he got up just now, and couldn't help asking: "Big brother, just now the younger brother saw that everyone outside seemed to be busy carrying something, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Oh, I asked them all to work in our Cui family's other wineries, this winery specializes in making the second brother's soju, this secret method is naturally to be kept secret, although they have been working in my Cui family for a long time, they are always not as good as their own people to keep secrets. In this winery, I am going to use all the servants of our Cui family. ”

"Big brother is thoughtful."

"This winery is not only your future job for the second brother, but also the first industry for the eldest brother and me to come out to do things alone, so I have to be careful. Second brother, take a look, what things are needed to make your wine, and what arrangements are needed, although you say, do it all according to the second brother's wishes. ”

The descendants of the family are prosperous, and they are divided into countless houses, each of which has its own property. Cui Ye, as the future helmsman of the long house, wants to ascend to the position of the patriarch of the entire Qinghe Cui Qingzhou house, not only must he have extraordinary wisdom and talent, but also make the family industry prosperous, and be able to convince other houses, which is also an indispensable condition. Therefore, Cui Ye was very attentive to the first industry he controlled at the beginning.

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is too elevating the younger brother, I don't understand this, and I have to rely on those shopkeepers and masters to arrange it." To tell the truth, the so-called secret method of brewing shochu is just to steam the fermented wine and sake lees in a pot, and there is really no other difficulty, but the younger brother accidentally learned such a secret method from a lost ancient book. ”

Cui Ye heard Liu Xu say his secret method, and couldn't help asking, "It's that simple?" ”

"It's that simple!"

"Which lost ancient book did the second brother learn from?"

"Eh" Liu Xu has never read a few ancient books at all, and if he wants to name one casually, he is afraid that it will be debunked on the spot.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's the second brother who created this secret method himself." Since the existence of wine, there have been countless people who want to make wine with a higher degree, but Liu Xu solved it gently and skillfully with a simple method of steaming in a pot. Cui Ye couldn't help but raise Liu Xu's cleverness and ingenuity to a higher level in his heart.

"Ashamed, ashamed", Liu Xu had to admit that he invented it. I can't say that it was invented by the later Yuan Dynasty, I guess I said it, Cui Ye will ask again, who is the Yuan Dynasty? However, for the sake of others, Liu Xu still blushed slightly.

"The second brother said this secret method, aren't you afraid that the eldest brother will leave you alone?"

"Big brother wants it, even if you take it, do you and my brother still need to be so clear?" In fact, Liu Xu was really afraid that he would leave him alone, but thinking about the identity of the son of the Cui Ye family, he would definitely not lose his value for this small benefit, and Liu Xu was a lot more relieved to do such a dirty thing. Besides, the two became brothers and opened a wine shop together, so there should be some sincerity between each other.

"Well, the second brother is chic and detached, a priceless treasure, but he looks like a shoe, the eldest brother really admires it!"

"Big brother is too awarded!"
