Chapter 48 Zhang Lianqi's conditions

Of course, Huo Luomao will not pay attention to this, but not only will he not pay attention, but in fact, few people pay attention to this "yellow water" of all the soju masters on the mouth. After all, it's something that has been poured out of the fermented sake paste, and you won't taste anything if you taste it.

Therefore, seeing Huo Luomao shaking his head, Zhang Shuting said again:

"In the morning, when they went to carry the bucket, I secretly tasted it at the bottom of the cellar, and the 'yellow water' had a 'slippery' salty taste, and it was very strong. This is not supposed to be. ”

And again:

"I'm worried that it's not the fermentation itself that's wrong, but that someone deliberately put something in the fermentation."

At this time, Huo Luomao thought that Zhang Shuting came to him to talk about asking him to leave. And Huo Luomao's mind has actually been on this. I didn't expect to say a few words, but it actually talked about his family.

It doesn't matter when it comes to his family, Huo Luomao knows that Zhang Shuting is going to get to the point. Therefore, Huo Luomao has been waiting for Zhang Shuting to say that he wants to resign him. If this is to be said by the owner, he has to go. If this is officially said by him, it means that he has completely confessed it, and he no longer has the meaning of returning to heaven.

Therefore, despite what he said on weekdays, in his bones, Huo Luomao still wanted to stay, even if he was allowed to find a way to make the cellar burn wine again, and then his face would be glorious if he left.

But at the beginning, when he saw Zhang Shuting talking a little detouring, he was a little angry, and then when he saw Zhang Shuting mention "yellow water" again, he saw that Zhang Shuting was really helping him find the reason. For a while, I couldn't come back to my senses.

However, since there was less wine in the cellar, it would be a lie to say that Huo Luomao had never paid attention to this "yellow water", but he was also like most shochu masters, looking more at its color and rarely putting it in his mouth to taste. I know I can't taste anything.

But seeing that Huo Luo's hair was stunned, Zhang Shuting clapped his hands again and said:

"Originally, I wanted to say these words to Master Huo slowly, since I have picked up the words, then I will say them to the end."

And again:

"I invited Master Huo over this time, in fact, I just wanted to discuss with Master Huo how to find a way to figure out this matter as soon as possible."

said that, and decisively slapped the table and said:

"If it's a human being, then we have to find out this person, and if something goes wrong somewhere else, of course we have to come up with a remedy as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he raised the wine cup again and said:

"This matter still needs to be figured out secretly by Master Huo!"

It was also very soon, on the third day of this drink, the matter was found out by Holomao. It is true that the thing was not done by others, it was Huo Luomao's youngest son Huo Jinglin.

It turned out that since Huo Jinglin was drunk and promiscuous on the way from Huojiazhuang to Ansu City and raped other girls, Zhang Lianqi did not let the girl and his eldest wife and brother-in-law publicize the matter, saying that he had a way to make Huo Jinglin pay the price and keep the girl's reputation.

Zhang Lianqi's eldest wife and brother-in-law listened to Zhang Lianqi's words the most, so they suppressed the anger in their hearts and did not make a fuss, and then Zhang Lianqi quietly found Huo Jinglin again.

Zhang Lianqi's intention to find Huo Jinglin was probably that he would come forward to settle the matter, and it would be as if it had never happened, and what Huo Jinglin did was not let the wine come out of the retort where he was, and gave him two small brick-like things, let him soak some of them in water every day, find a way to bring them to the retort, and then take advantage of the "stepping on the pool" to quietly sprinkle it on the fermented pastry.

Then, Zhang Lianqi told him very clearly that once this kind of thing is spilled on the fermented paste, no matter how good the fermented sauce and cellar pool are, the wine will not be able to come out at once. Not only can it not produce wine, but the cellar is basically wasted, and it can be unknown to people and ghosts.

Huo Jinglin didn't agree at first, on the one hand, he was drunk and disorderly, ruined other girls, and didn't agree to come down, even if Zhang Lianqi's wife's sister's family was afraid of scandals and didn't bother him. As soon as the girl gets married, the men in the in-laws will soon know about it and will trouble him.

The mother-in-law of the neighboring village that the girl wants to marry, Huo Jinglin has also inquired about it, he is a butcher himself, not to mention killing pigs all year round, and it is said that he killed people when he was young. That's the first tyrant in the village and the master that no one dares to mess with.

Once the girl marries, it is a matter of time before the stuffing is revealed. Once the stuffing is revealed, how can the girl's mother-in-law be willing to give up, and it is still a trivial matter to return the girl to her parents' house, once the trouble starts, it will definitely affect him. When he can't eat, he will be let go around. The key is that once there is a fuss, two family affairs will become three or even many family affairs, and at that time, even if he wants to, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it!

However, regarding this point, Zhang Lianqi assured him again, saying that he was good friends with the mother-in-law of the girl in the neighboring village, and he would let the girl marry peacefully, and from now on, he would never trouble him. Of course, if Huo Jinglin didn't do what he said, he couldn't guarantee anything.

Of course, if he did what he said. Zhang Lianqi also promised him that after the matter was completed, once the south pot resigned from their father and son, even if they came to the north gate to gather and Yonglai soju, the salary would definitely be higher than that of the south pot.

In the end, Huo Jinglin hesitated again and again, and he was ruthless and did what Zhang Lianqi said. Every day, I quietly carry a bag of soaked water on my body, and secretly sprinkle it in the pool layer by layer while "stepping on the pool". After that, this cellar was burned again, and the wine was really less, and there were individual cellars, and there was no drop of wine.

However, Zhang Shuting did not say it explicitly at that time, and of course Huo Luomao would not suspect that all this would be done by his youngest son Huo Jinglin.

But when the younger son Huo Jinglin and his apprentice brought the "yellow water" from the bottom of the cellar and poured it into a large urn next to the retort, he still waited there early, pretending to be careless, and let the "yellow water" pour on his hands.

Then he took a sneaky sip, followed by a second sip, and he even took a third, and each one convinced him of the smooth, salty taste.

If he didn't taste it, he still had doubts, and when he tasted it, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

In order to master the heat of fermentation, although he never tasted "yellow water", he knew that this "yellow water" could have a sour taste, and even some other miscellaneous flavors such as mud, and would never appear salty.

Therefore, after Huo Luomao broke out in a cold sweat, his heart moved again. Needless to say, as the proprietor said, someone must have been harming him. But who could this man be?

At first, Huo Luomao thought of Cui Dahai's group on the other side, and even thought of the other people on the pot, but he never dreamed that it would be his subordinate, his youngest son.
