Listening to the stories of several people, Xiao Yao's forehead wrinkled slightly, and he had some doubts in his heart, there was a big town in front of Xinghua Village and a small town in the back, why did they come to this poor country to rob? Although there are mountains and forests around, I haven't heard of a cottage bandit's nest, so where did this group of horse bandits come from? However, they came to the village again and again to loot, giving people the feeling of being stationed nearby.

"Have you ever heard of the same thing happening to the surrounding villages?" After they finished speaking, Xiao Yao raised his head and asked.

Several people all shook their heads, and when Xiao Yao was even more confused, Wang Dali said: "I don't know" almost made Xiao Yao slide from the kang to the ground, this joke is a bit big. But after thinking about it, it's no wonder that they can't be blamed, after all, in this era, communication can only rely on letters, and the nearest village is dozens of miles away from here, and information blockage is normal.

Seeing Xiao Yao bowing his head and meditating, several people didn't dare to speak, for fear of planning his thoughts. After a while, Xiao Yao slowly raised his head, glanced at a few people, called them together, asked a few questions to a few people, and then said: "I will pay attention to the matter of the horse bandits, and I will not mention it for the time being, I have called the three of them for three purposes today, and the matter is important, and the three of them must listen carefully." ”

"First, the secret of sake brewing must be kept secret-free and not told to anyone. Second, I will build a secret room for the three of them, and others will not be allowed to enter, and the three of them will have to improve the recipe and optimize the brewing plan, so that they can make different tastes of wine; Thirdly, if the three of you agree to take the apprentices and pass on your respective winemaking experience to them, the apprentices can be chosen by yourselves, and after my consideration, the remaining ones will become the apprentices of the three of you, and I will give them a generous enough reward to show my gratitude. ”

"The three are all experts in winemaking, they are the most experienced and skilled people in the village, I believe that the three are more non-selfish people, with the joint efforts of everyone, please believe that I will make everyone live a happier life!"

After saying that, Xiao Yao repeatedly advised, "In the future, no matter who asks you any questions related to winemaking, you must keep your mouth shut, remember that it is anyone!" I hope you remember! His eyes swept over their faces one by one, and only after receiving their affirmative answers did he withdraw his gaze and breathe a sigh of relief.

Late at night, he sent the three of them away, persuaded his sister-in-law to go back to the back room to rest, sat on the threshold with Dali, looked at the stars in the sky and whispered: "In the past few days, you will put down the other work in your hands for the time being, and seize the time to secretly find a few clever people, you must be reliable and tight-mouthed, divide them into three teams, take turns on duty day and night, and hide around Sakai to guard." ”

"Well, good!" Wang nodded heavily, secretly remembered Xiao Yao's words in his heart, and didn't ask more, only saying that he must have his reason for doing this, he didn't have the brain to think about these things, and he didn't bother to think about it, it was in vain, and he still acted easily and easily.

The two chatted a few more words, and then went back to their rooms to sleep. Xiao Yao lay on the kang alone, thinking about what happened today, and had no intention of sleeping. The future of Xinghua Village Winery is bright, if it is properly managed, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money for itself, so Xiao Yao will never allow anyone to pay attention to it. I can't help but think of the patriarch surnamed Zhou and the merchant of Nazhu, you'd better stop in moderation, otherwise you will definitely let you spit it out to Lao Tzu with profits!

Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning, he heard the movement of burning wood for cooking in the outer room, so Xiao Yao got off the kang and walked out of the house. I saw a person sitting there adding firewood to the fire, and a person cooking rice, laughing softly, and enjoying himself. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, she reached out and touched her lower abdomen, which caused her wife to roll her eyes, but her face was full of joy. This scene made Xiao Yao behind him envious.

I can't help but think of the lyrics "This life, the next life continues, what is the love, life and death, if you are accompanied, do not envy the mandarin ducks and do not envy the immortals...... Sometimes, the vigorous love is not in vain in this life; Sometimes, it's plain that's true. Just like the couple in front of them at this moment, they don't have thousands of acres of fertile land, only three grass huts, and no wealth, but they can save a box of rouge or two taels of wine, but they live so happily and at ease.

"Lady, let me hear it and see if he is dishonest in it." Wang Dali smiled evilly and pulled his wife to his side.

His wife couldn't resist him, so she gently hammered his shoulders twice with both hands, and let him put his ears to his lower abdomen, and looked down at her husband's stupid appearance, but his face was full of gentle smiles.

"Cough" Xiao Yao put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, breaking the beautiful scenery, and said with a smile: "Ah~ The air in the morning is so fresh!" "Deliberately close your eyes and lift your head slightly, as if you are breathing in fresh air.

Listening to a soft cry from his wife, he quickly pushed her husband away, her face was crimson, her hands were at a loss, and she hurriedly picked up the wooden scoop on the stove and added water to the pot.

Wang Dali laughed twice, although he had a feeling of being caught cheating, he didn't care much, and he had already regarded Xiao Yao as his own family. Turning his head to see Xiao Yao's appearance, he said happily: "Brother Xiao, what are you doing?" The air outside is quite fresh, and you stand in the house, and your head is full of smoke from the stove, don't you choke? ”

Xiao Yao wrinkled his nose, sniffed, inhaled a puff of choking smoke, coughed twice, and said: "Well, the two of you don't know, in fact, I am practicing another miracle skill, after practicing, close your breath and hold your breath, no poison, hehe"

"Oh, then you keep practicing." Dali pretended to be surprised, and suddenly realized, with a smile on his face.

"I have just finished the exercises, this miracle skill should not be practiced, there is a way that the practice needs to be gradual, and you must not rush for quick success; If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and if you practice more, you will hurt your body. Xiao Yao pretended to be unfathomable, like a very virtuous person. His eyes inadvertently glanced into the pot, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are many people coming to our family for dinner today?" If you scoop water into the pot again, it should overflow. ”

"Ahh The vigorous wife exclaimed again, and her pretty face was even more red, all the way to the root of her ears. Embarrassed to put the wooden scoop aside, the slave glared at her husband twice, hid her face and ran into the back room, only to hear the sound of the two laughing from the outer room.

Wang Dali shouted with a smile into the house: "Daughter-in-law, Brother Xiao is not an outsider anymore, besides, we haven't done anything unseemly, what are you hiding?" Don't I just listen to my future son's movements, we have to ask Brother Xiao to help him name him. ”

After a while, Wang walked out of the house, the blush on his face had not completely faded, and when he saw her husband sitting there smirking at herself, she stomped her feet and hummed, "You are not afraid of Brother Xiao's jokes!" ”

asked her husband to accompany Xiao Yao to the yard to rest, and she cooked on the fire in the house by herself, but she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the scene just now, her face was hot again.

Xiao Yao went to the bench under the straw shed and sat down, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "After dinner, you find someone to inform several other members of the board of directors of the winery to gather at the winery, I have something to announce."
