Splash color streamer, clear blue shadow, ten thousand square fire trees golden leaves. Bamboo lanterns, who will send good luck? The carved car and the painting boat are bright and moony, and the world is prosperous and sleepless! More Kanjia, suburban spring songs, courtyard smiles.

Where does your partner know when you're young? Thinking about the New Year's Eve, the game is watching the flowers. The lights are lit, and the lion dragon is drummed. Now they are divided into swallows, and they are sent to the end of the world with a smile. But how many times are you arguing, how many times are you amorous, how many times are you extravagant?

This is the prosperous and romantic Great Song Dynasty!

The sky is blue, the clouds are light, and the wind is light. The autumn wind quietly drove away the scorching heat of summer and brought the coolness of autumn.

Qingzhou City in the early autumn of the fourth year of Chunhua of the Great Song Dynasty (993) was full of bustling people, a prosperous and lively scene. The main road in the city is accessible from north to south, and the pavilion shops with magnificent shapes and exquisite decorations stand on both sides of the thoroughfare. The bustling commercial streets are crowded with people and business is booming, which has long broken the restrictions of Tang Shifang City. The various cries of the vendors come and go, and the bargaining voices of the guests come and go, adding a little vividness to the ancient city of Qingzhou. The sky is high and refreshing, the wine shops and tea shops in the city, the Goolan tile, are also full of people, gather a lot of people, drinking, drinking tea, discussing poetry, listening to music, Guan flutter, juggling, juju, sumo, the characters of the three religions and nine streams, all find fun here. The prosperity of commerce, the prosperity of entertainment, and the large population all show the prosperity and romance of this famous city of the Great Song Dynasty.

In Qingzhou City, Cangnan Lane, in a small courtyard.

The girl Xu Jin'er was sitting at the stone table, holding her chin, watching a young man busy in the courtyard.

The young man dressed as a scholar in an azure robe, a scarf on his head, and a scholar is called Liu Xu. I saw a big stove in the courtyard of the small courtyard, and at this moment he was adding firewood to the stove. There is a cauldron on the stove, and the fermented wine and sake lees are contained in the cauldron, and the lid on the cauldron is tightly covered, but there is a round hole in the lid, and a copper pipe with an elbow is connected from the round hole, and the middle of the copper pipe passes through a bucket filled with cold water, and a wine jar is attached to the other end of the pipe.

When Xu Jin'er was bored and watched Liu Xu busy working there, already thinking a little deeply, Liu Xu cheered and pulled her mind back.

"The wine is out, Jin'er, look, the high soju I said is out", Liu Xu exclaimed excitedly.

Xu Jin'er looked at the wine dripping into the wine jar from the copper pipe, and couldn't help but be interested. She picked up the wine from the stone table, got up and scooped a little out of the jar. As soon as she put it to her mouth, before she could enter it, she smelled a pungent smell of wine, and Xu Jin'er couldn't help frowning. Carefully took a sip with his mouth, and then quickly snorted twice and spit out the wine.

Liu Xu, who was watching Xu Jin'er's movements while lighting the fire next to him, couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of wine is this, so brewed and so spicy, can you drink it?"

Liu Xu couldn't help but smile for a long time: "Of course you can't drink it, this is the head of the wine, the alcohol content has to be **10 degrees, and the wine steamed in the middle can be drunk, and the last remaining wine will be left later." The head and tail of the wine need to be steamed again before they can be drunk, which is called Erguotou, which is also a very good wine. ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier, Brother Xu, you are necrotic. By the way, what is alcohol? Xu Jin'er looked at Liu Xu with a pair of curious eyes and asked.

"Well, this, simply put, is the strength of the wine."

"Oh"

"That, Jin'er, I didn't lie to you this time. Let's make the bet! ”

"What bet?"

"Huh!? That's not good, Jin'er, let's not pretend to be stupid. Yesterday I said that I can make high soju, and if you don't believe it, we made a bet that we would like to say: if I can make high soju, you can kiss me; I can't make it, I'll kiss you. We have to be willing to gamble and lose, and we don't have to admit it. ”

Xu Jin'er's beautiful face suddenly flew two blushes, and she said coquettishly: "That's the betting condition you said yourself, I didn't agree!" ”

But before Liu Xu could speak, Xu Jin'er's big watery eyes rolled her eyes, and she looked at Liu Xu and said affectionately: "It's embarrassing for people to kiss you, or you come to your relatives' house!" ”

Liu Xu had already seen a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, coupled with her suddenly coquettish tone, how could Liu Xu not see the strangeness, how could he dare to think anything wrong. Recently, Liu Xu has really suffered a lot from Xu Jin'er, and he has been beaten a lot, who let our Miss Xu know martial arts, and it should be satisfied if she makes some cheap money verbally. Hurriedly interrupted: "Well, I'll change the wine jar." ”

Seeing that there was a small half jar of wine in the wine jar, Liu Xu took an empty wine jar and connected it, and put the wine jar with the wine head aside.

Seeing that Liu Xu was not fooled, Xu Jin'er said: "This is what you don't come to kiss, don't say that I don't fulfill the gambling contract!" ”

"It's me Liu Xu who didn't gamble, I was wrong, okay, my good sister."

"That's pretty much it! Hey! ”

Wine kept dripping out of the copper pipe, and there was already half of the new wine jar, Xu Jin'er looked at Liu Xu and said, "Can you drink it this time?" ”

"I can drink it."

With the lesson of the last time, Xu Jiner did not taste rashly this time. Scooped it with wine first, handed it to Liu Xu, and looked at Liu Xu with big eyes: The meaning is very clear, you can taste one first.

Liu Xu brought it to his lips and took a deep breath, the strong smell of wine mixed with the aroma of wine, rushing to his face, so familiar taste. Take a sip, a fiery fire falls straight to the heart, this is the wine that men should drink, Qilu Dahan should drink such a strong wine to taste enough, these soft rice wine and fruit wine in the Song Dynasty are simply for women to drink!

Looking at Liu Xu's intoxicated appearance, Xu Jin'er snatched the wine and took a big sip herself, a stream of wine rushed straight to her lungs, and she couldn't help coughing. Liu Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help her pat her back, and it took a long time for Xu Jin'er to stop coughing.

"What kind of wine is this, why is it so rushed?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier, this kind of soju is a high degree of wine, this is our Liu family's unique secret method, when you marry into our family, I will tell you how to do it?"

"Who is rare! Besides, isn't there any secret method, isn't it just to set up a cauldron and steam the lees out of the wine? Although your wine is good, but it is too rushed, I still like to drink soft wines such as Zhu Yeqing and daughter Hong", although Xu Jin'er is a daughter, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is also a good drinker.

"Oh, my good sister, you swear that you won't spread anything you see today, this is what we will rely on to make money in the future. Besides, this wine was not meant for you women to drink, but it was made for us heroic men to drink. ”

"I, Xu Jin'er, have always done what I say and never lost my promise. Hmph, besides, as long as you're still a heroic man, you can't even beat me. ”

"It's amazing to be able to punch and kick, the reason why people are so powerful mainly depends on this", Liu Xu pointed to his head and said, "Let you fight the tiger, can you beat it?" I can't beat it. But if you use your wisdom and set a trap or a clamp or something, you won't catch it. So, force will never be the enemy of wisdom, hey, why are you beating me? ”

"Didn't you say that force can't beat wisdom? I hit you, what, you have the ability to fight back against me with wisdom, hit me, hum"

Liu Xu could only helplessly ask for mercy, and said with hatred in his heart: You wait, see how I use my wisdom to rectify you in the future.

"Seriously, my wine is going to be sold to those men from the north and men from the northwest, and they will definitely like it. The cold wind and snow, the spirit of one hand, the whip of the other, generous and singing. When charging, first come to a bag of spirits, and then rush to kill mercilessly, how impassioned. They're going to love my spirits. I want to sell my wine all over the Great Song Dynasty, to the Khitan, to the Northwest, to Tubo, and to the whole world, and I want to be the biggest wine merchant in the world," Liu Xu imagined unemotionally.

"Let's dream, wait until you get the paperwork to open a brewery. Our Great Song Dynasty has a very strict control over the winery, and it is difficult to get the documents to open the winery. No one cares if you brew some for yourself, but if you sell it in large quantities, you won't be able to. After the Battle of the Gaoliang River, the current official family issued an order to close the field between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan and impose an economic blockade on the Khitan. How do you sell soju to the Khitan? Besides, Li Jiqian, a member of the Northwest Party, is still making trouble, and if you dare to sell wine to them, the crime of arresting you as a financial enemy is light. What about the people who are still reading, you don't know any of this? "Xu Jin'er's father opened a martial arts hall, and all the three sects and nine streams in Qingzhou City learned art there, so they are very well-informed. Liu Xu estimated that Xu Jin'er also listened to the people in the martial arts hall about these things.

"Then since the Khitan and the northwest are not allowed to sell, I will first be the largest wine merchant in the Great Song Dynasty, and then you will be the wife of the largest wine merchant in the Great Song Dynasty. Come, lady, kiss one first. ”

The answer to him was a blow on the head.

Although Xu Jin'er said that it seemed difficult to become the largest wine merchant, Liu Xu was still confident. It's hard to get the documents for opening a wine shop from the government, so it doesn't mean you can't get it. Song Liaoyu Field is closed, doesn't mean there is no smuggling. High-grade soju is now a strange commodity, and Liu Xu already has a plan in his heart on how to become the first step of becoming the largest wine merchant.

Liu Xu was joking with Xu Jin'er while he was busy there, and he had already received three wine jars. The wine dripping out of the copper pipe was much slower, Liu Xu lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the sake lees in the cauldron, there was not much water left, and the rest should be regarded as the tail of the wine, so he connected the jar with the wine head.

After a while, when the jar was almost full, there was basically no wine flowing out of the brass pipe. Liu Xu poured out the remaining sake lees in the pot, cleaned the cauldron, shook the wine jar containing the head and tail of the wine, poured it into the pot again, added firewood and continued to steam. What came out this time was the second pot head, and this wine was more flavorful, Liu Xu couldn't help but think.

Xu Jin'er watched Liu Xu busy with his work from the side, and couldn't help but be a little distracted, feeling that the Liu Xu in front of him was completely different from the Liu Xu in his previous impression.

Liu Xu in his previous impression was a nerd, a person who only knew how to bury his head in dead books and did not understand the world. Although the two have been married since childhood, and they are neighbors, every time the two meet, Liu Xu and himself are stupid and wooden answers. But since a while ago, Liu Xu went out and was accidentally knocked unconscious by a horse, and when he came to see him, he found that after waking up, Liu Xu became witty, humorous, and witty, although sometimes a little frivolous, but with him, he felt relaxed and happy.

And Liu Xu seems to have become smarter all of a sudden, and he often has many wonderful ideas. For example, Liu Xu suddenly cooks a lot of delicious and delicious dishes. For Xu Jin'er, who has never eaten stir-fried vegetables, she has no resistance to Liu Xu's stir-fried dishes. And Liu Xu also invented many things, such as the abacus for accounting invented a while ago, which is much easier to use than the abacus. Another example is the high-grade shochu made today. Since the advent of winemaking, countless smart people have tried their best to make wine with a high degree, but they have not been able to do it, but Liu Xu has done it lightly and skillfully.

Liu Xu seems to have completely changed, and he is no longer the stupid nerd.

But maybe the current Asahi is more in line with the appearance of the husband in his previous dreams.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Jin'er's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
