After a dreamless night, Tang Ming slept very steadily, and got up energetically early in the morning, just opened the door and was about to take a stroll outside, when he saw two maidservants waiting there with copper basins and washing towels. When he was stunned, he saw the two maids squatting slightly and said, "Second son, please go to the house to wash." ”

Tang Ming is still a little unaccustomed to being served by two little girls, but the feeling of being served is still quite good, and while he is enjoying it, he listens to the next person to tell him that his sister-in-law wants him to worship his ancestors.

followed the subordinates to the incense hall in the backyard, and saw that the eldest brother and sister-in-law had arranged everything to wait for him, knelt down on the incense, and walked down a set of procedures for recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, Tang Ming began to be dizzy.

The family talked and laughed too early, Tang Ming was about to demonstrate how to make distilled liquor to his eldest brother, but he heard a report from someone who said that the prefect was visiting.

When the prefect of a county came to visit, everyone didn't dare to slack off, although they didn't know why they came to visit early in the morning, but Tang Ming and Tang Tianhao still greeted the door in person.

The prefect of Suzhou was a thin old man, wearing a wide official uniform on his body that looked a little fat, and a pair of small eyes narrowed into a slit on his long delicate face. There was no big pomp and circumstance, only an old servant accompanied him, although he was old but in good spirits.

After everyone got to know each other, Governor Yan said straight to the point: "The old man came to visit privately this time, and it was a little abrupt to hope that Tang would be honest!" His Majesty's troops sent to Nanjing this time, and now the people in the surrounding state capitals are panicking, and His Majesty's army will arrive in Nanjing in a few days. ”

After pondering for a moment, Governor Yan continued: "I heard that Tang Ethics came with Lord Zheng He's fleet, I must have heard some words, I don't know if Tang Ethics can tell the old man, and I have relieved my worries. ”

As soon as he said this, Tang Ming naturally understood. Dare to love this old man is here to inquire about the news, no wonder he came to visit early in the morning, and his own little ethics really can't afford such a courtesy from the prefect.

In fact, as long as you think about it a little deeply, you can also understand why Yan Zhifu is so careful, Zhu Di is an immediate emperor, and he is belligerent by nature and has a short temper. This sudden military dispatch to Nanjing really made the second monk Zhang's head scratch, and the officials in the surrounding areas of Nanjing were all officials of Jianwen of the previous dynasty. In order to protect his own life and status, it is understandable to inquire about more news.

But it was a matter of confidentiality, even if Governor Yan had some friendship with his eldest brother, he Tang Ming didn't dare to say more. He smiled, hugged his fists and said politely: "Thanks to the prefect's affordability, since I told the truth, I have no choice but to contempt the official to speak slightly, I don't know what it means, and please don't mind the prefect." ”

"Since Tang Ethics doesn't know, the old man can't say much, and I hope that Tang Ethics can notify me as soon as he thinks of any useful news, and Yan should be grateful. It's not early, the old man still has business to do, don't bother, farewell! Governor Yan came happily but returned disappointed, and hurriedly left with the old servant.

Seeing off to the door, Tang Ming looked at the back of Yan Zhifu who left in a hurry, and an irritability rose in his heart for no reason, as if something bad was coming. Thinking about it carefully, he had no clue, shook his head slightly to dispel the boredom in his heart, and pulled his eldest brother to the cellar to demonstrate the method of making distilled spirits for him.

It was not easy to have the current home, where I was disturbed by a prefect who came and left in a hurry for some reason. The sky is falling from the people above, why bother to worry about the world's major events with a small integrity, the hard work of the previous life has just worked hard to get a piece of the world, and it is too late to show its strength to be made by God.

When life needs to be enjoyable, we should enjoy more, cherish what we have in front of us, and live in fantasy. He didn't have a choice in his previous life, and if he had a choice in this life, he would naturally not make that mistake again.

There is no complicated process for distilling spirits, and if you want to get a higher alcohol content, it is naturally better to start from scratch from the raw materials. But not to mention the trouble, the time is too long, according to their own practice in Weihaiwei, find a few pottery jars with the original brewed wine to steam, so convenient and affordable.

From morning to afternoon, the brothers were so stunned that they couldn't even eat lunch, and steamed out more than a dozen jars of wine. Tang Tianhao was full of praise after tasting it, and Qiu even regarded this method of steaming wine as a family heirloom, and ordered his subordinates who participated in steaming wine to swear that they would not spread it.

Qiu Shi looked at the jar of steamed wine, just like looking at piles of gold, she absolutely believed that with these wines alone, it would be difficult for her restaurant to be underdeveloped in the future.

The woman's thoughts, the Tang Ming brothers, didn't pay attention to it, each hugged a jar of wine, and called Li Ba and Zhu Yong to get together at a table to have a drink. The four of them are all cheerful men, and the current atmosphere of wine and food is naturally excellent.

Governor Yan hurriedly returned to the mansion, and was just about to enter the study, when he was told by the guards guarding the door that there were guests inside. Governor Yan was stunned for a moment and knew who was waiting for him in the house, so he ordered his guards to guard the outer door, and no one was allowed to disturb him, so he turned around and entered the door.

A man sat in the dark behind the desk in the room, and when he saw Governor Yan, he smiled toothy: "Governor Yan is really a diligent person, he went out to do errands early in the morning, and the people of Suzhou are really honored to have parents like you." ”

Governor Yan sneered and replied disdainfully: "Mr. Huang seems to have drawn a clear line between us, and I don't know what happened to my sudden visit today, and it seems that you don't need to comment on how this official behaves." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......."

Manager Huang didn't seem to care about Governor Yan's words at all, and said in his own way: "How Governor Yan behaves, Huang naturally can't judge, but if you want to dissociate yourself from us, that's not right." ”

His face turned red instantly, and Yan Zhifu stared viciously at Manager Huang, who was laughing incessantly, and he was very unwilling at this moment. He was originally the prefect of Suzhou when Jianwen was in power, and he did not dare to say that Suzhou was prosperous under his governance, but the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

As an honest official, he doesn't want to be in the same stream as others, and there are many people who have offended him. Only then did he avoid the worry of his life, and the affairs of officialdom were guaranteed to him, so that he sat smoothly in the position of Suzhou prefect until now.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops to seize the throne, Emperor Jianwen was defeated, and now there are rumors that he has long disappeared. Not long ago, this manager Huang suddenly approached him and asked him to help him, so that his subordinates could evacuate from Suzhou safely. Because of this, he was noticed by Jinyiwei, and he thought that he should be able to repay his favor this time, but he didn't expect that Mr. Huang would find him not long after.
