What kind of chaos is there in Pei County......

At least for more than ten days after Liu Kan returned home, everything seemed very calm. Surabaya Huadiao continues to sell well, and Chen Yu and Guanque have an increasing demand for residual wine. In particular, the number of urns has doubled from 3,000 urns to 6,000 urns. And Chen Yu's business doesn't seem to be as good as that of Douque, but the demand has been growing continuously.

This involves the issue of the difference between the north and the south.

So you have to unfold it slowly, and you can't be in a hurry. Liu Kan didn't care much about this, what he cared about was Chen Ping's news.

The person responsible for receiving the goods has always been Chen Yi.

After Liu Kan came back, Chen Yi came again. According to him, Chen Ping is now studying downstream, and he is not sure of his whereabouts. Listening to Chen Yi's tone, Chen Ping didn't seem to like business things very much. And Chen Yu didn't force him, so he let him go.

Anyway, with Chen Yi's help in business, Chen Yu is not too difficult.

But for Liu Kan, he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Although I can't be sure if this Chen Ping is the other Chen Ping, if I meet it, it is better than missing it. Fortunately, now that he has caught the line of Chen Yu, if he is really a person, he is not afraid.

Fifty Qin soldiers did not leave immediately.

After Liu Kan visited Li Fang, he went to visit Zhou Lan on the same day.

Zhou Lan is a generous young man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, so he is from Wei Anyi. When Qin destroyed the Wei state, Zhou Lan had just joined the Wei army. He didn't even really go to the battlefield, he became a prisoner. After that, he became Lao Qin's light soldier, killing the enemy, and was quite meritorious.

Light soldiers can be explained by later words and phrases such as death squads and cannon fodder.

Most of them were prisoners of war or convicts, who did not deserve armor, and even weapons were put temporarily. When fighting, rush to the front. was able to go from a light soldier to a subordinate commander of the regular army, and how many times did he experience life and death. Zhou Lan couldn't calculate it clearly. But I finally got through it...... Although the military rank is not high, he is also the head of fifty people, compared to those light soldiers who died in battle, Zhou Lan is very satisfied.

"On the orders of the county guard, we will not return to the team for the time being."

When Liu Kan asked Zhou Lan about the return date, Zhou Lan replied: "In some time, it will be time to send Wansui wine to Xianyang." The county keeper means. We are asked to wait here, and as soon as the Banzai wine is out of the cellar, it will be sent to Xiangxian immediately without delay.

Liu Sheng, don't care about us!

The county keeper has arranged enough baggage for us. I just hope you can get out of the cellar on time. Otherwise everyone is in trouble. ”

Liu Kan was ecstatic in his heart......

There are about three months left until the day of the offering of Banzai sake.

In other words, these fifty Qin soldiers will stay here for three months. In these three months, those who are eyeing the Surabaya flower carving are probably not rash. Other words. Liu Kan was given three months to prepare.

Enough is enough!

In the following days, Liu Kan began to work intensely and hecticly.

To outsiders, he was preparing for the banzai. But in fact, he doesn't need to worry about the matter of Long Live Wine.

Stayed in the wine cellar all day with the judge, tinkering with the pot utensils that Song Zi had brought back.

All the attention was focused on the development of shochu. During this period, Lu came several times, but failed to see Liu Kan.

No way, busy!

Liu Judi's injuries gradually improved, but he was like a child. pestered Mrs. Kan all day long.

Giant kids? This is the name of Liu Ju by Guan Ying. What he was interested in. It is to practice martial arts with Wang Xin and practice martial arts. Occasionally pulling Cheng Miao to drink together, Cao Wuxian occasionally came to join in the fun. A group of people are together, but the more familiar they are.

Kuaicher and Tang Li talked about it more closely.

To be precise, Tang Li's grandfather, Tang Sui, was also a strategist. Although in Tang Li's generation, he is more inclined to the art of soldiers. But the blood of the strategists in the bones. Still indelible. often argues with Kuicher, or blushing. Or laugh at each other and have fun. As for Wang Ji, while taking care of the housework, she takes care of the workshop, and has the style of a housekeeper. {First Reading}

On this day, Tang Li quarreled with Kui Che as usual!

Mrs. Kan was in the hall, basking in the sun, mending Liu Kan and Liu Ju's clothes, and watching Liu Ju and Wang Xin frolic with a smile.

A giant, a fool......

Wang Xin hugged Liu Ju's thigh and vowed to overturn him. Liu Ju used one arm to make Wang Xin return in vain.

Wang Ji sat with Mrs. Kan.

"Wang Ji, have you appeared, Juhe Xin, like a father and son."

Mrs. Kan's sudden words made Wang Ji's face flush all of a sudden. lowered his head and didn't speak, but with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two guys who were frolicking, and his heart fluttered, and his cheeks seemed to be on fire.

"Old lady, Brother Ah Kan is almost eighteen this year."

Mrs. Kan nodded, "Yes, in a few days, I will be eighteen years old." ”

"Eighteen years old, it's time to find an in-law!" Wang Ji quietly diverted the topic and said with a smile: "I don't know if the old lady has any plans?" Or which girl did you fall in love with? This ordinary family's baby is not worthy of my brother. ”

Mrs. Kan sighed.

"Kan is not easy now, you look at him, since he came back, he can't stop all day long. Honestly, I've got a good candidate. The second lady of the Lu family, and Kan are also childhood sweethearts, but they just had a few misunderstandings earlier, and I'm afraid it's very troublesome...... Wang Ji, what do you say is wrong with Ah Kan? Ah actually likes him a lot, why doesn't he react at all? ”

Lu is thinking about Liu Kandi, and almost everyone can see it.

The Lu family is now firmly established in Pei County, and the most difficult period has passed.

On the one hand, the marriage with Liu Bangdi made some people in Pei County have to be cautious; On the other hand, the appearance of Liu Kan did share part of the pressure on the Lu family. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the Lu family has gained a firm foothold, it is very difficult to go to the next level. Unless. The Lu family can find another way to make money, otherwise it will be difficult to become a climate.

Wang Ji said: "Why don't you ask Chief Cao Ting to come forward and talk about it?" ”

"Pavilion Chief Cao?"

"Yes, Chief Cao Ting is also an old man in Pei County, and if he comes forward to say something, there may be a door."

Mrs. Kan put down the needle and thread, hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter." Let's go back and ask what Kan means. Now that he's grown up, he has his own ideas. When the time comes, listen to what he has to say, and if he wants, it will not be too late to ask Cao Lao to come forward. ”

That's when it happened. Liu Ju, who was playing with Wang Xin in the patio, suddenly stopped moving.

Looking up to the sky, his nose twitched twice hard, and the urn said angrily: "Mother, what does it smell like." Why is it so weird? ”

As soon as he said this, the others also let go of what they were doing.

Guan Ying also stood up and sniffed twice, "Yes, it smells weird...... Like wine? But it doesn't seem to be. ”

Wang Ji's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Ah Kan brothers have succeeded in drumming up?" ”

Tang Licao stood up without injury, and ran in the direction of the wine cellar without saying a word.

The smell is mellow and intense, and it is intoxicating. Thicker and thicker, thicker and thicker...... From the cellar. It's smoky.

Cao Wuxian didn't say a word. Pushed open the cellar door.

The smell of wine made his head dizzy. Quickly held his breath and took a step back. Then I looked inside, and saw Liu Kan and Jian Shiqi both falling to the ground. In the pot, there was a mist of water steaming, and the rich aroma of wine was spreading.

"Ah Kan, Ah Qi ......"

Cao Wushu and Tang Li rushed in. wants to carry Liu Kan and the others out.

But Liu Kan's body is too heavy...... It's past nine feet tall. It weighs more than 26 pounds. Cao Wuxian was able to carry the trial on his back, but Tang Li couldn't lift Liu Kan. The little face was flushed. I couldn't move Liu Kan by half a minute.

"Giant, go in and move your brother out!"

Mrs. Kan looked at Tang Li's struggling appearance, and couldn't help but say to Liu Ju who was following her. {First Reading}

Liu Juer didn't say a word, rushed into the wine cellar, and threw Liu Kan on his body at once. Turning his head to look at Tang Li, he clamped his arm and got Tang Li out.

"Mother, the smell of the ground inside is so bad!"

Mrs. Kan and others came over and hurriedly checked on Liu Kan and the situation of the judge. After a while, Wang Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't look at it, Brother Kan and Ah Qi are fine, I guess they were drunk by the smell of wine...... Tang Li, what are you tinkering with, this smell is so rushing? I've been making wine for so many years, and I've never smelled such a punch. ”

Guan Ying whispered, "It's Yanjiu!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Tang Li and Cao Wuxian and said, "Old Tang, what the hell are you doing?" I've tasted the taste of the swallow wine, and it's very unpleasant. People who are not in bitter cold places are afraid that they will not be able to get used to this smell. What are you and Akan tossing about? ”

Cao Wu's wound was straightforward, "Ah Kan said, he wants to give us a fortune!" ”

"Rich?"

Everyone looked at the drowsy and drunk Liu Kan and the two of them in surprise, but their eyes flashed with doubt......

Liu Kan and Zhen Shiqi woke up in the evening.

As soon as they woke up, the two of them immediately rushed to the cellar again, and they didn't even have time to explain to everyone. And this time, Tang Li and Cao Wuxian also followed. The smell of the ground in the wine cellar has dissipated, and Judge Shiqi and Liu Kan were busy inside for a while, and then Juan Shiqi walked out with a wine jar and greeted everyone with a smile: "Come on, come on, taste this new Yan wine." ”

Cao Wuxian got a few pottery bowls, snatched the wine jar, and drank like clear water everywhere from it. The color is still a little muddy, but compared with the Yan wine that Liu Kan tasted in Songzi Restaurant, it has obviously made a lot of progress.

Guan Ying took a sip, and then grinned and shouted, "It's so spicy, this wine is so spicy." ”

Liu Kan, who was standing at the door of the wine cellar, showed a bright smile at this time.

This wine, if compared with Moutai and Wuliangye in later generations, is definitely not comparable. But he didn't make this shochu just for drinking. Scoop a spoonful of wine out of the vat and pour it into a bowl. Then someone brought a candle and swept it on the wine. Suddenly, the bowl of wine in the middle of the ground burned. A layer of blue and faint flames is particularly weird.

And judge it and laugh at each other!

This month's hard work has not been in vain after all!

The next step is to find a way to make medicinal liquor. Liu Kan has a prescription, and the judge has personally walked a hundred Yue, and he has enough understanding of the local situation. As long as he can succeed, there must be no one person and one knight's military exploits, as for others. More on that later.

That night, Liu Kan and the others couldn't sleep excitedly, and studied and studied the prescription until the sky was full of white light.

After the excitement has passed. Liu Kan and the others took a break.

At noon, Cao Wuxian was the first to wake up, shouting that he was going to Peixian Restaurant to have a treat and celebrate their future promotion.

For this is not too much of a request, Liu Kan naturally will not refuse. But Mrs. Kan didn't want to go. She was reluctant to leave, and Liu Ju was naturally unwilling to leave. Even with Wang Ji and Wang Xin, they didn't want to go into the city.

Liu Kan didn't force his mother to share happiness with him.

Everyone has their own character, and everyone has their own way of celebrating joy. At this point, why force it? At least, he could see that Mrs. Kan was actually very happy. It's just that most of the time, she doesn't like to show joy in all its forms.

A large crowd of people went into the city in such a huge way.

As for the secrets in the cellar? There is no need to worry about this...... You don't see Cheng Miao's residence, which is only a hundred steps away from the wine cellar.

Moreover, Mrs. Kan will not let others go. Feel free to come and go out of there.

Liu Kan and others found a wine shop in Peixian County. The owner of the wine shop naturally recognized Liu Kan and others. Immediately smiled.

No way, who made this group of masters the god of wealth?

Naturally, the store has to be attentive, and maybe there will be another opportunity.

Liu Kan didn't like a noisy environment, so he asked the store to set up a screen to make it a separate space.

It was noon, and the number of drinkers gradually increased.

Liu Kan and the others were talking quietly behind the screen, discussing how to get out of this soju. Earn the most benefits.

On business acumen. Tang Li and Kui Che are not very good. But judging the food, he gave birth to a shrewd mind and whispered to Liu Kan.

Tang Li Kui Che. Cao Wuxian irrigated the baby, and the four of them got together to push the cup and change the lamp.

After a short time, the wine has been scented......

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the wine shop.

I heard the shopkeeper who led Liu Kan and others to the seat just now say: "Liu Ji, you have become a relative and have a family...... What kind of system is it to be so idle all day long? Do the math, how much wine have you drunk with me from last year to now? Have you ever paid for a drink?

Everyone is from Fengyi, and I don't want to worry about you. If you go back and see, your daughter-in-law is in charge of all the work at home, but you eat and drink all day long. No wonder your father scolded you for not being successful...... Today, I have to settle the money for this drink! ”

Liu Ji?

Is he back?

Liu Kan didn't know that Liu Bang had returned to Pei County. When he left, Liu Bang had not returned; When he came back, he was busy with soju and didn't go out all day. So I don't know anything about what happened in Peixian County. Naturally, he wouldn't talk to him about Liu Bang, and it was too late to get tired of it, didn't he mention this person to make him unhappy? As for Cao Wuxian and Tang Li, neither of them said anything about Liu Bang.

After going back and forth, Liu Kan almost forgot the existence of this person.

"When did Liu Ji come back?"

"You came back not long after you left...... It is said that he didn't make any money, and even discounted the capital. When I first came back, it was okay, but then I couldn't hold it anymore, and I wandered around with a group of people all day long, no different from before. It is said that Lu Wen Lao'er also had no choice but to give him some funding from time to time, but he spent it when he changed hands, and then ate and drank everywhere. ”

Turning around, through the gap in the screen, Liu Kan looked out.

I saw Liu Bang sitting lazily next to a food table, and said with drunken eyes: "Anqiubo, I didn't say that I wouldn't pay you back." When I have money, I'll pay you back tenfold and hundredfold...... But after drinking a few of your wines, why bother, what kind of folks? ”

"Yes, yes, Lao Anqiu, my eldest brother came to drink with you to give you face."

More than a dozen ruffians immediately coaxed, and some even stood up. Roll up your sleeves as if you're going to hit someone.

Anqiu is the surname of the owner of this wine shop. is about forty years old, and when he heard Liu Bang's words, his face turned red with anger.

But I can't help but admit it, because Liu Bang often drinks here, and those ruffians in Peixian never dare to make trouble here.

looked at Liu Bang's lazy appearance. Anchuber sighed, "It's not a thing!" ”

With that, he turned to leave. How do you know this sentence, but Liu Bang is furious. Hudi stood up all at once. "Old Anqiu, which one did you just say? I'm telling you, I'm the one who does big things, I'm the son of the dragon, you know? ”

Anqiu couldn't help but sneer. "Son of the Dragon......"

There are some things that everyone understands in their hearts, and most of them will not be talked about.

But his contemptuous expression made Liu Bang even more angry. Looking around at the people in the wine shop, he said angrily, "I am the son of the dragon!" ”

In everyone's heart, there is a belief, or a taboo that cannot be questioned by others.

Obviously, the son of the dragon is Liu Bang's belief and taboo. Since childhood, he has not been loved by his father. No matter what you do. Always blamed by Liu Gong. So the identity of this dragon son has become the only belief that Liu Bang can comfort himself.

Seeing the mocking smiles of the drinkers, Liu Bang was even more angry!

He pulled off all the clothes on his body at once, and said to the people present, "If you don't believe me, count the moles on my body." ”

As mentioned earlier, Pei County originally belonged to the Chu State, and the place of worship was the study of Huang Lao.

For things like etiquette. Didn't really care. Even if you walk naked on the street. And not surprisingly.

"Seventy-two!"

Liu Bang said triumphantly, "There are a total of seventy-two moles, which of you have them?" ”

"Big brother. Why is Seventy-Two the Son of the Dragon? ”

There was a very respectful inquiry from the ruffian.

Liu Bang was even more proud, sat on the mat, propped up one leg, and took a sip of wine, "Have you ever heard of the Yin and Yang family?" Have you ever heard of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth...... Well, look at you like that, you know you've never heard of it. There are 360 days in a year, which is exactly 572, which corresponds to the theory of the five elements. Seventy-two, which represents the soil in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, is the red dragon, understand? ”

Liu Kan was in the house, almost squirting out a mouthful of wine.

Liu Bang's theory of yin and yang, the theory of the five elements is really, really too clever......

How could he connect these seventy-two moles with the land of the five elements? Well, even if it is seventy-two represents the earth, how can it become a red dragon again? This theory is impossible for anyone who understands a little bit of the theory of yin and yang to say.

But the question is, how many of the 20 million people in Daqin can read and write? How many people understand the five elements of yin and yang?

At least in this wine shop, there are not too many people who understand. Especially those who live in the market, the lowest ruffians, are even more unlikely to understand. Liu Bang talked nonsense, and said that a group of ruffians had red hearts in their eyes, and they were all in awe.

"Big brother is really the son of the dragon."

Even if there are people among the drinkers who understand the Five Elements, they will not stand up to refute it.

It's a joke, just listen to it. Stand up and be awkward with Liu Bang, that's how you feel uncomfortable for yourself.

"Shop!"

Liu Kan suddenly opened his mouth and asked the store to come over, "How much money Liu Ji has paid for your wine, count it in my account, don't chase it." ”

His face suddenly changed, "Ah Kan, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu Kan didn't answer, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

With that, he bypassed the screen and walked to the lobby.

When Liu Bang saw Liu Kan, his eyes lit up, and he got up just about to say hello.

saw Liu Kan coming over, "Liu Ji, in terms of age, you are enough to be my eldest brother, but ...... Actually, whether you are a child of the dragon or not, it doesn't mean much to us, to most people here. Shall I send you a poem? ”

Liu Bang was stunned, "What poem?" ”

In the wine shop, there was a sudden silence.

Liu Kan pondered for a moment and sang softly: "Rats have skin, but people have no etiquette!"

If people have no ceremony, what is it to not die?

Rats have teeth, but people don't stop!

People are endless, why not die?

The rat has a body, but the person is rude!

People are rude, and Hu is not going to die?

Liu Ji, please cherish it! ”

In the wine shop, after a moment of silence, some people who knew the origin of the poem burst into laughter, while those who didn't know looked at each other.

Judging Qi and the others couldn't help laughing.

When Liu Kan came over, he patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Kan, it's good, it's good...... Hahaha! ”

Lu Juan's face was flushed, he got up with a sigh, pointed at Liu Kan and said: "Liu Kan, you stop for me, if I don't kill you today, I will not be a man." ”
