Chapter 2 Who are the Si people?
"What do you think, Le Cheng like this?" Liu Xu was busy for a while, and suddenly found that Xu Jin'er was secretly having fun there, and couldn't help asking.
"Brother Xu, I found that you are different from before."
"Well, do you like me before, or me now?"
"Of course I like uh, you're necrotic? Hmph, I don't like it", Xu Jin'er reacted this time. Since Liu Xu was hit by a horse and became smarter, Xu Jin'er has been eaten tofu by Liu Xu several times.
"Hehe, okay Jin'er, I won't mess with you, it's not early, you can go back early. By the way, I brought a jar of soju to my father-in-law, and let his old man taste this wine too. Xu Jin'er's father, Xu Yanxin, is also a good drinker. Xu Yanxin used to be the head of the gun and stick in the forbidden army, and he was strong in martial arts, but he was upright and not good at drilling camps, and he was injured in the first battle of Gaoliang River, and then he was squeezed by Shangguan, so he was angry and retired from the army and returned to his hometown, and set up a martial arts gym to make a living.
"One jar is enough, my dad must like this kind of liquor, and he has to let me get it again after drinking, so I might as well take two jars directly."
"Okay, it's incumbent on me to honor my father-in-law!" Although Liu Xu said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, but he was busy for most of the day, most of them were filial piety to his father-in-law, and his heart hurt!
Xu Jin'er lifted the two jars of wine and walked out, the person who practices martial arts is the person who practices martial arts, the two jars of wine Liu Xu lifted a little heavy, Xu Jin'er carried it away lightly and skillfully.
Walking to the door, Xu Jin'er suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something, and turned around and asked, "What are you eating tonight?" ”
"Fish-flavored shredded pork."
Xu Jin'er cheered, came back with the wine jar, and urged Liu Xu to hurry up and cook, and he wanted to finish eating the fish-flavored shredded pork before leaving. Da Song now only has steamed dishes, Xu Jin'er, who has never eaten stir-fried vegetables, has been unforgettable since he ate the stir-fried dishes made by Liu Xu. Xu Jin'er came to Liu Xu, and was largely attracted by Liu Xu's stir-fried dishes.
Liu Xu muttered in his heart: Keep a woman's stomach, she will no longer be able to turn over your palm, and she can't drive it away, alas, this is our charm.
Xu Jin'er finished eating the fish-flavored shredded pork, and left with the wine.
Liu Xu secretly swore that after getting married, he would show his temperament, and he would force Xu Jin'er to learn one hundred and eight dishes, and he would not be able to cook for himself for a hundred days in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night is a little cool, the crescent moon is like a hook, hanging quietly in the air, scattering silver light in the courtyard.
The moonlight entered the house, reflecting Liu Xu's handsome face.
At this moment, Liu Xu is lying on the bed planning his big business of selling wine.
In fact, Xu Jin'er is right, Liu Xu has really changed, or he is no longer the Liu Xu he used to be. Liu Xu was originally a small civil servant somewhere in Shandong in the Later Celestial Dynasty, and he loved antiques. Liu Xu's limited salary is basically used to exchange antiques, and he is almost thirty years old, and he has not even married a daughter-in-law. By chance, Liu Xu went to Qingzhou for a meeting. In his spare time, Liu Xu went out for a stroll and accidentally found a Song Dynasty Jun kiln porcelain vase at a stall on Qingzhou Cultural Street. When the excited Liu Xu walked back with the Jun kiln porcelain vase, a tragic thing happened: a runaway car knocked Liu Xu, who was holding the Jun kiln porcelain vase, into the air. Liu Xu only remembered the moment he landed, and he was still holding the Song Dynasty Jun kiln porcelain vase.
When Liu Xu woke up, he had inexplicably come to Qingzhou, which had been Chunhua of the Great Song Dynasty for four years a thousand years ago, and became Liu Xu, a scholar of the Song Dynasty with the same name as himself in later generations. After a period of confusion, Liu Xu knew that he had crossed over. Liu Xu thought to himself, maybe it was the reason for the porcelain vase, he was hit with a Song Dynasty porcelain vase, and he actually returned to Qingzhou, but these are no longer verifiable. After a period of confusion at the beginning, Liu Xu silently accepted the fact that he had crossed.
Liu Xu of the Great Song Dynasty was seventeen years old, his mother died early, and his father also died the year before last. My parents had nothing else but the yard where they lived now. Liu Xu has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and has been studying hard all these years, but until now, he has not even been admitted to a county school.
When Liu Xu was very young, his father set a doll for Liu Xu, who was one year younger than Liu Xu. Originally, Xu Jin'er was sixteen years old, and she had already reached the age of marriage in the Song Dynasty, but because Liu Xu's father died the year before last, Liu Xu needed to keep filial piety for three years, so he did not get married for the time being. Of course, these are all things that Liu Xu slowly learned later, and his body did not retain any memories of this era.
After being knocked unconscious by a horse, because Liu Xu was alone, Xu Jiner often came over to take care of himself. Liu Xu and the two have already made a marriage, and Xu's father is a person who practices martial arts, he is heroic, he doesn't care about so much red tape, and he doesn't prohibit Xu Jin'er from running to Liu Xu. Xu Jiner is lively and cheerful, Liu Xu is witty and humorous, and the two quickly became acquainted. Liu Xu, who didn't even have a daughter-in-law in later generations, found that he had such a beautiful and beautiful fiancée after coming to the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel that he liked the Great Song Dynasty more and more.
Seeing that his father's three-year filial piety period will expire next year, he will have to marry Xu Jin'er next year. Liu Xu has been thinking about how to make money and marry a daughter-in-law recently.
Looking at the empty room with four walls, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. According to Xu Jin'er, Liu Xu's family background was good in the past, his father was a literati, and he was a mountain chief in a college run by a large family.
However, since the death of Liu Xu's father, Liu Xu of the Great Song Dynasty, a scholar who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and has no success in reading, can only sell the things in the house. It is said that Liu Xu was knocked unconscious by a horse that day, and when he wanted to go to the pawnshop with a porcelain bottle at home, he just hugged the bottle and did not see the road clearly. Liu Xu heard Xu Jin'er say that Liu Xu was also holding a porcelain vase and was hit by a porcelain vase, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, could it be that he came here really from heaven's will? !
However, after Liu Xu crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty, he had no way to make money for the time being, so he could only follow Liu Xu's steps before and continue to sell things to make a living. Now there is nothing else in the house except the books in the bookcase.
But fortunately, Liu Xu came up with the idea of making soju and selling it to make money, and later Liu Xu had a neighbor in his hometown when he was a child, and he made wine at home, and the wine he brewed was very authentic, and the villagers in the neighboring towns all drank wine. Liu Xu often went to his neighbor's house to play when he was a child, and often saw his neighbor making wine, and he still knew the general process. So a month ago, Liu Xu gave the only and all the belongings in the house, a few pieces of sandalwood furniture and jade pendants, in exchange for ten stones of grain and more than a dozen large water tanks. Liu Xu grinded all the grains in the mill, added koji and put them in the vat for fermentation.
In the past month, Liu Xu has been worried that his skills are not up to par, and the brew will not taste good. If you can't make good shochu, you will have no way out and no livelihood. Fortunately, the soju made today is not bad, and Liu Xu is relieved.
Now that Liu Xu has a high degree of wine that is a strange commodity to live in, he has some plans about how to make money.
Although the wine shop is difficult to run as Xu Jin'er said, Liu Xu already has some plans in his heart. Liu Xu, who worked as a grassroots civil servant in later generations, naturally knew that to set up a cigarette factory, a distillery, and other profiteering industries, it was necessary to go to the Quality Supervision Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and countless other units for approval. But at this time, the government system was very simple, and going to the government to get the winery documents was not as cumbersome as the procedures in later generations! First inquire about who in the yamen is in charge of approving the documents of the wine shop, and then the heavy ceremony will be smashed over, and it will not be possible to do it if you don't believe it. Liu Xu said in his heart: In the future, we will also engage in official careers, and we still know about this little thing in the yamen.
Liu Xu secretly thought: I have to work hard to make money. Next year, my father's three-year filial piety period will be over, and now I am poor like this, how can I marry a daughter-in-law next year if I don't work hard to make money!
Liu Dagongzi, who originally wanted to plan his wine selling business, planned and planned, so he planned to marry his daughter-in-law, and soon fell asleep with a happy hala.
ps: About the method of making soju written in the article: When Shanhe was a child, there were several Three Gorges immigrants in his hometown village. Southerners are quite flexible, and after coming to us, they quickly found small businesses to do on their own. One of them made wine at home, and the wine was very good, and people from all over the neighborhood came to their house to drink. The Shanhe family is very close to their family, has a good relationship, and often went to play when I was a child. I generally remember that they used to grind grain and add water to koji, and put it in a large pond to ferment. When the fermentation is complete, the sake and lees are steamed in a pot, and the steamed sake is the original sake, of course, if the degree is too high, it needs to be mixed with distilled water.
As for the method of making soju written in the novel of Mountains and Rivers, it is naturally simple, and it is made with the limited equipment of the Song Dynasty, so don't take it seriously, after all, it is a novel. In addition, the head and tail of the wine are steamed again in the pot, which is the saying of the second pot head, which is also said by the immigrant uncle. Whether it is or not, the mountains and rivers are not very clear.;
