Chapter Twenty-Five: Go Fast

"Young Master Li, can you go home and discuss with the Hun family, and give you an answer later?" Wei Tu scratched his ears and cheeks and couldn't decide, and said in the end.

"Don't worry, you'll talk about it after you think about it." Li Han said: "You will go out in a while, by the way, help me inquire about who the big warehouse-like house behind this house is, I think it looks like it is abandoned, if the owner intends to pawn it, I want to buy it." ”

Who knew that Wei Tu smiled when he heard it: "Okay, my little young master, isn't that your Ji family's warehouse, and even the large piece of land behind it is also your family." Mr. Ji dislikes that the humidity is too big there, and the stored drugs are easy to deteriorate and are abandoned there, do you still need to buy them? ”

Li Han smiled bitterly, it turned out to be the Ji family, but it can be used, the key is that he was originally unwilling to take advantage of the Ji family, but after thinking about it, anyway, this family will have to rely on itself to support itself in the future, so just use it.

Sent Wei Tu away, Li Han walked to the medical hall, called a guy to accompany him to the warehouse, opened the door, the ground inside was really damp, with a musty smell, the big room was empty, but he liked it very much, because it was the most suitable place to be a winemaking workshop.

Originally, Li Han was going to go to Ji's house to tell the old man that he wanted to use this house, and when he thought that the family was making trouble and burying people, since he was bearing the false name of the head of the family, he couldn't learn from Qingwen in the dream of Red Mansions, "he had a false name in vain", and using the house was even the salary that the Ji family gave him as the nominal head of the family.

It was already early winter, and it was the time for the farmers to hire people, so he went to Yaxing and said that he wanted to renovate the house and make some furniture, and after a while, the masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and silversmiths were all there.

was negotiating the price with the craftsmen in the tooth shop, Wei Tuxing rushed to find it, and called when he entered the door: "The master of the family, the little one has discussed with the Hun family, and the whole family has joined the Li Mansion as a domestic servant!" ”

At this moment, the craftsmen joked that Wei Tu would calculate, and a family of four or five people would go to Li's house to chew and eat, but Young Master Li would suffer a loss.

Li Han was also very happy, what he lacked was reliable manpower, Wei Tu's rude appearance was actually very simple, and the family was when he had strength, so he didn't suffer a loss when he took refuge, so he immediately agreed.

Next, Li Han methodically distributed the labor, asked the craftsman to open a back door to the house he bought, pulled up a wall, connected the house with the back storehouse as a whole, repaired the house in the winery, built a large stove, and asked the blacksmith to make a large steamer and a double-layer iron bucket according to the drawings he spent, and the carpenter also installed the wine-making rack according to the drawings he drawn, as well as the sealed large wooden barrel.

As for the silversmiths, their task was to give them strange drawings handed over to them by Li Han, and their role was quite mysterious.

At the same time, the medicine garden was also rebuilt, and behind the house, three rows of houses like the right wing were built, all of which were wooden structures, adjacent to the Qinling Mountains, and there was no shortage of wood, and they were built very quickly.

Dozens of acres of land in the garden were leveled, and several two-meter-deep trenches were dug out of the ground, smoothed with plaster, paved with corrosion-resistant wooden boards, and made underground passages leading to the kitchen stove, and then buried the soil on the wooden planks and leveled it again, and made a two-meter-high wooden stake around it, bought a lot of corn straw to weave into a straw curtain, and built rows of long and large grass huts around the wooden stakes.

Wei Tu really tasted the sweetness, because he became the housekeeper of the Li family, and Li Han gave him all the power to assign the trivial matters of overseers and pay wages, which made him really addicted to showing off his might.

It is very strange that Chen Xu and the others did not come to trouble Li Han again, and as for how to deal with the dispute between Liu Li and the Hou Mansion in the court, Li Han did not know.

Li San's injuries slowly healed, but Li Han still let him hide, wanting to wait for the right opportunity to give him a reasonable identity before letting him appear in public.

After the Ji family dealt with the funeral, seeing Li Han's development in full swing, Old Man Ji and Li Wan were mixed with joy and sorrow, the joy was that this child really had the potential to make a fortune, and the worry was that whether it was Apricot Tree Hutong or Medicine Garden, the words written at the door were "Li Zhai", it seemed that he wanted to completely cage Li Han's mind, and the project was huge.

Li Wan sighed in the face of her father-in-law's sigh, and said that Li Han's youthful spirit was in her mouth, and she wanted to open it after a while, but in fact, there was a ghost in her heart, and she knew that this child was not the root of the Ji family in the first place, and she couldn't help it if they didn't come back.

As the month passed, when both of Li Han's projects were completed, the New Year was approaching.

Li Han led the workers back to the medicine garden, dug out the first batch of new liquor he brewed, brought it back to the winery in the city, distilled it with a newly made double-layer iron barrel, and filled the interlayer with cold water to cool the steam, and the purification work was twice the result with half the effort.

This batch of wine, Li Han does not plan to sell it for money, he is ready to give away all the favors, lose money and make money, as long as he drinks it, this wine will not be sold in the future, and the price is more than gold.

There is no plastic film, straw made of soil greenhouse, Li Han carefully transplanted all kinds of seedlings cultivated in the greenhouse, the most surprising thing to him is that although a piece of raw sweet potato in the seed package has been broken, but there are a lot of purple buds on it, he has the intention of trying it in the greenhouse, but he didn't expect to survive all of them, and now the young seedlings with the length of his palm are very strong, and he planted them in the newly built greenhouse.

In recent days, the farmers who sell firewood are very happy, because the Li family manor on the edge of the water buys a large amount of firewood, and how much they want, for the farmers in the slack time, going up the mountain to chop firewood is the most convenient way to make money, so every evening, the endless stream of firewood is carried into the manor, and the farmers who are happy go home with a lot of money, and each person can also get two noisy and large cooking cakes, and the young head of the family said that this is a steamed bun.

Li Wan felt sorry for her son's busyness, and took care of her already visible belly in the medicine garden, but Li Han didn't listen to her persuasion to go back to recuperate.

Lao Li and Jinhuan are inseparable from Li Wan, of course, they also come back to help, who knows that in the past month, Li Wan and the three girls of the Ji family have become more and more affectionate, and those three girls have to come to find Sanniangniang.

As soon as the children came, the second elder of the Ji family was of course uncomfortable in the empty house, and one day the old man Ji gritted his teeth, took his wife with a shy face, and took a carriage to join his grandson.

Li Han had no choice, so he gave up the bedroom he used to live in to the second elder, and he and his sisters lived in the newly built wooden house at the back, and it seemed that this year was going to be spent here.

Under the command of Li Han, the Li family was in full swing to prepare things for the New Year, and all kinds of delicacies that had never been seen before were baked under Li Han's teaching, which caused the family to exclaim from time to time.

On this day, Li Han was about to start giving gifts, he first brought ten jars of wine, all kinds of cooked meat and bacon, refined salt and red oil, steamed buns, fried fried tofu, and Shixin vegetables in the greenhouse into Bacheng, and went to the county government to find Fang Daling.

The backyard of the county government is Fang Yue's residence, Soap Li knew Li Han, saw him come to give a New Year's gift, let him drive the carriage in, just parked the carriage in the backyard, and heard a hearty laugh coming from the house.

"Uncle Fang, little nephew Li Han came to disturb." Li Han shouted.

"Hahaha, just now I told the general that you should also come to honor and honor us, and you came." Fang Yue appeared at the door with Liu Li.

Li Han hurriedly bowed deeply, saluted the two elders, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to visit Uncle Liu later, but I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Liu Li said: "Even if you have a conscience, if the gift is in the car, wait for the old man to take it away directly, so that you don't run away." If it's at your house, I can go back with you to get it, and eat your table by the way. ”

Li Han touched his nose and said, "Are you afraid that I won't give you a New Year's gift?" Do you want to follow along? ”

"He's greedy, and he just said he wants to eat what you made? Lao Liu, what is it? Fang Yue and Liu Li are close friends and in-laws, and they don't have any scruples because of their positions, so they joke about Liu Lilai.

"Ravioli." Liu Li said: "That's really delicious! ”

Seeing that Fang Yue was also looking forward to it, Li Han smiled and said, "This is easy to do, the ready-made materials in the car, the little nephew is now making and selling, how about showing his hand at Uncle Fang's house?"

Fang Yue's eldest daughter is already married to Liu Li's son, and the youngest daughter Fang Yuxiu is eight years old, very naughty and cute, and looks around Li Han curiously.

Li Han kept moving things down from the carriage, and the wine was moved down to five jars, and the things were all divided into two parts, and the other one was left for Liu Li.

Fang Boniang was embarrassed, she said too much, and she was born to Li Han, but Fang Yue said: "This is all what he should do, if I die first in the future, he will be your dependence." ”

Uncle Fang's face changed, and she said dissatisfiedly: "During the Chinese New Year, you won't say anything auspicious, let Brother Liu and the child laugh at you for a crow's mouth." ”

Liu Li also sighed with a gloomy face and said: "People have good and bad luck, and making plans early is not a crow's mouth, it is nothing more than a precaution." Li Han, what Uncle Fang said just now is also what I wanted to say to you Uncle Liu, you have to write it down. ”

Li Handuo is clever, he has already heard from the words of these two people that something is wrong, it seems that the situation in the court is not good for these two, otherwise he will never entrust his family to him, and he will have to ask in detail later.

Walking into the kitchen with Uncle Fang, Li Han fried and fryed, using the refined salt and chili oil he brought, made a pot of braised pork, brought fried dried tofu and crispy meatballs to make a pot of chowder, fried a plate of soybean sprouts sent by himself, and burned a green vegetable.

The meal was served, the wine was poured, the two elders enjoyed eating and drinking very much, Li Han silently did a good job, and when he saw that the drink was almost complete, he opened his mouth and said: "Two uncles, how is the case going?" ”

In a word, Liu Li slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", Fang Yue sighed heavily and said: "Lao Liu, I want to match Yuxiu Xu to Li Han, how about you be a matchmaker?" ”
