Chapter 15: Spirits
Sun Shao drank a free meal of wine and then swaggered out. As soon as they left the city, Dunwu and Shuai Zeng, who had been smiling and laughing, gave a thumbs up: "Young master, you are so smart, you actually used this method to get out." ”
"Get out?" Sun Shao smiled proudly: "I want to earn the ten gold." ”
Shuai Zeng twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Young master, where did the liquor come from in the mansion?" It's not as good as the wine that people live in. This natural residence is the largest liquor store in the wine market in Wu County, and there is no stronger wine than him. ”
Sun Shao smiled secretly. Of course, he knew that Shuai Zeng was telling the truth, and at first he thought that the wine was not as strong as that of the Zhou Mansion, but it was actually just an illusion. Because the wine in Zhoufu is freshly filtered, the wine is strong, while the wine in the natural residence is filtered for sale, so it is lighter, but in fact, there is not much difference. But he knew that no matter how strong these liquors were, they were only at the same level as the rice wine of the previous life, and the undistilled liquor could never exceed 20 degrees, compared to the distilled liquor of the later generations, the difference was not a star and a half. In other words, he has earned the ten gold, and if he doesn't get it right, this is still a way to make money. So he came out of the natural residence and didn't go out directly, but walked around the wine market, just to see if there was a good store in the market, maybe he could open a store to make money.
Dunwu and Shuai Zeng looked at each other, they didn't believe what Sun Shao said at all, they all thought that Sun Shao was too comfortable drinking without money, drunk, and just talking drunk. Fortunately, these words were reported by Sun Shao himself, and he can't blame them in the future, just watch the play. The shopkeeper of the natural residence didn't dare to go to Sun's mansion to make trouble anyway, at best, he was just laughed at, and it was Sun Shao's own business to be embarrassed.
The three of them returned to the house with different thoughts, and Sun Shao did not let Dunwu and Shuai Zeng rest, so they immediately sent someone to call a few carpenters, and sent another person to the natural residence to buy a few stones of high-quality wine, and then tossed in the east kitchen.
Daqiao soon learned the news, and sent Qiao Ying to call Sun Shao, Sun Shao was telling the carpenter what to do, his sleeves were rolled high, his face was flushed, and the smell of wine was spewing far away when he spoke. When he heard that Ohashi was looking for him, he clapped his hands and said loudly to the carpenter, "Give you a day and double your wages." ”
As soon as he heard that the salary had been doubled, the old carpenter smiled: "Don't worry, young master, I will do a good job for you if you don't sleep all night today." ”
Sun Shao laughed, turned to Shuai Zeng and said, "Go, take care of Aunt Qin, add food to them, and only after eating can they have the strength to work, and put more meat." ”
When the old carpenter heard that he was still in charge of the rice and the meat to eat, he was even more energetic, and patted his chest to ensure that it would be completed in one day.
……
After listening to Sun Shao's words, Daqiao was a little displeased: "Who can be without fault, if you say the wrong thing, it's okay to accompany you, so why make mistakes and make mistakes?" If there is any liquor in the house, and if you can't get the wine out of the house, won't you lose face even more? ”
Sun Shao shook his head again and again: "Don't worry, Auntie, I didn't say this to cover up my shame, I was looking for a way to make money." These ten gold are just a small test, in the future, I can make more money on this wine, and I no longer want to pay taxes to the marquis of a thousand households. ”
Seeing that Sun Shao was full of confidence, Daqiao also believed it. Although doing business is not a good way, but since Sun Shao has been cut off from his career, it is a good choice to find a way to make some money, even if it is for the sake of fame, as long as he does not come forward himself, it is not uncommon for the family to do this.
The next day, the old carpenter made a wooden barrel for steaming wine according to Sun Shao's requirements, and left with a smile on his salary and reward, and Sun Shao immediately arranged for someone to start steaming wine. The raw materials are the wine bought from the natural residence, steamed in the pot, the aroma of the wine is even stronger, floating in the whole yard, the bridge and the bridge on the small building smelled the fragrance of the wine in the courtyard, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although they did not stop Sun Shao, but after all, they were a little uneasy in their hearts, for fear that Sun Shao would not succeed and lose face.
In the evening, Sun Shao wore a short beat, with the smell of wine all over his body, went up to the small building with a small wine urn, sat in front of the suspicious bridge with a smile, and poured some wine in the lacquered ear cup: "Mother, you taste." ”
Daqiao took the ear cup, sniffed his nose, and suddenly his eyes lit up, the fragrant aroma of wine was really much stronger, she was about to drink it, but Sun Shao stopped: "Mother, it's okay to taste it, this wine is strong, I drank it in a hurry, and it hurt my body." ”
Daqiao burst out laughing, took a sip gently, and as soon as she took the wine, she suddenly frowned, and looked at Sun Shao's eyes and became very grateful. After a long while, she took a long spit: "What a strong wine, it's like a fire." ”
Sun Shao smiled, what kind of martyrdom is this, it is only steamed, at best, it is about forty degrees, and when it is steamed three or four times, it is called fierce. However, compared to Ohashi, who is used to drinking more than ten degrees of brewed sake, this wine is indeed much stronger, and her analogy is not outrageous.
"Can you win those ten golds?" Sun Shao smiled a little proudly.
"If you only talk about this wine, you can earn that ten gold, but I'm afraid that the shopkeeper of the natural residence will not be so willing." When Daqiao thought of Sun Shao calling the shopkeeper rosacea, he couldn't help but smile. In fact, she didn't take Sun Shao seriously about taking the money in this way, she just thought he was joking, and didn't think that Sun Shao would really take the ten gold.
"Hehe, in my opinion, he wouldn't dare."
Ohashi frowned: "You won't really go and get the ten gold, right?" This is not a gentleman's doing. ”
Sun Shao smiled disapprerovingly, raised the new wine and took a sip, and was immediately choked and coughed, choking his eyes and embarrassed. In his previous life, he was used to drinking distilled liquor above forty degrees, and subconsciously thought that he didn't need to pay attention, but he didn't expect that his current body was the same as Daqiao, and he was not used to such a high alcohol content.
Daqiao hesitated, leaned over, and patted Sun Shao lightly on the back. After a long while, Sun Shao took a breath and smiled to himself: "People can't be too proud, crabs are too happy to lose their claws." ”
When Ohashi heard this, he didn't understand it at first, but when he thought about it, he immediately realized the meaning and couldn't help but laugh softly. Qiao Ying was also laughing on the side, but she looked at Daqiao's smile a little sad, but also a little relieved, in the past two days, Daqiao has laughed more times than in the past ten years. She looked at Sun Shao, the initiator, and while feeling sad for him, she was also happy, it was a brave thing for him to take the initiative to take on the burden of a family.
