"Do you want to resell with so-and-so?" Lord Shen is tempting.

"I have regretted it, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, maybe there are wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, and there is no arable land, how can you harm the prince?" Dugu Xinci looked like he was thinking about Lord Shen.

"A certain often thinks about the fun of the mountains and forests, this place is just right, the little prince regrets it, wouldn't it be easy to resell" Shen Wangye continued to tease.

"Okay, 100,000 gold is enough" Dugu Xinci never sorted out according to the cards.

"100,000 gold? The day before yesterday, a certain person was present, and the price was not a thousand gold."

"The day before yesterday was the day before yesterday, and the price of woad in today's West Market has changed from yesterday."

"You are ruthless, then leave a small courtyard for so-and-so, and so-and-so will come to live when he has time"

"Okay, 20 gold per month, 100 gold per year"

"Rent yet? A certain and the king of Liaoyang County have been companions since childhood, and the Shenwang Mansion and the Liaoyang County Mansion have also been neighbors for decades, how can they be so ruthless? ”

"Oh well, halve"

"No"

"That so-and-so and the prince have ten gold, and so-and-so will rent a courtyard in the Shen Wangfu"

"Ugh"

"The prince is a neighbor with Ben Langjun, and he often comes to be a guest, and when he arrives, he welcomes "Dugu Xinci is also relieved" but a certain place is simple, there are no ingredients, the prince's Yongye field is a thousand acres of fertile land, and I hope to help one or two."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say" Lord Shen slandered, this guest has to bring his own grain and grass?

The argument for a long time did not see the result, Dugu was annoyed, thinking about how to hire some craftsmen to repair this other business, where to repair a path, where to build a house.

Wen Guyan is also anxious, this homeless strong man does not enter the oil and salt, the county government on the left needs to be sympathetic to the life of the homeless, and the right one is born from the same root, how can there be a reason for separation.

"Master Wen is here, go back and rest first," Dugu Xinci came over and said.

"The little prince has nothing to do with himself" Master Wen saw that Shen Wangye was also a little prince, and then he also learned "The matter of hiring workers, wait for a certain county to ask again"

"I'm tired of Wen Zhuang's book"

"It's okay...."Master Wen suddenly felt happy, "The little prince needs to hire workers, there is no farming in this Zhongsun Village now, you might as well hire them"

"I hope that the little prince is sympathetic" This strong man surnamed Zhongsun reacted quickly.

Dugu Xinci was a little hesitant, although they were all outsiders from Lantian, but he was single and weak, this Zhongsun family could have two hundred people, was it a hired worker or an uncle? But since it's a neighbor, I can't pull my face down, so I think about it and ask:

"This Lang Jun is also old, and he can help with nature, so how many people are there? Are there any craftsmen? What is it? ”

"There are two hundred and twenty-three men of a certain class, all of whom are craftsmen, and about forty or fifty craftsmen, and stonemasons, masons, and blacksmiths."

"That's good, so-and-so will bother you, the more people the better, so-and-so and you are neighbors, ugly words to the front, so-and-so according to the treatment of employees in Lantian County to give money, please be careful."

"That's nature," the strong man naturally agreed.

"Are they all good citizens?" Dugu asked again.

"There are only one hundred and twenty people who are from Lantian," the strong man groaned, and Wen Guyan replied.

Dugu Xinci was speechless, and there were more than 100 black households, I really don't know how I traveled thousands of miles through the state and county to get here, this is a hidden danger.

Forget it, there are only a few dilapidated houses anyway, just toss around.

"It's okay, the same treatment"

Dugu Xinci thought about it and said, "Come to a few craftsmen, go with a certain person, discuss how to repair, how many materials are needed, and how to calculate the salary"

It took another day to visit the Rim River, Dugu Xinci pointed out how to repair everywhere one by one, these craftsmen surnamed Zhongsun really have the ability, not only quickly calculated the required materials and wages, but also suggested how to repair it to be more comfortable, Dugu Xinci thought about it, some of their suggestions were really more suitable, and they were left to their own design.

Dugu Xinci can also be seen that these surnamed Zhongsun have all seen the world, at least the experience of building gardens is stronger than him.

Dugu Xinci is a lazy person, and he shirks his affairs and only recognizes Kaiyuan Tongbao.

King Shen wandered around with great interest, the territory was too big, and Dugu Xinci was reluctant to lead the way after being with him for a long time.

King Shen was bored after shopping alone for a long time, and he returned home after two days of playing.

Thinking that the renovation of the palace of Liaoyang County was nearing completion, and the braised boiled shop in the east market was also opened, he asked Ah Gou to go back to Qinrenfang and bring some people over.

One day, a group of craftsmen from the Shengdao Workshop came over, and the King of Liaoyang County also sent Dugu Wu and Dugu Geng to take care of it, and Dugu Xinci asked the craftsmen of the Shengdao Workshop to discuss with the craftsmen of the Zhongsun family how to repair and renovate his Rimchuan villa, and then he left it alone.

I remembered that there was a brick workshop in Lantian again, and I went to see it, and it was actually a few years ago that made bricks and tiles for the Daming Palace, and I had countless materials in stock, and I sprinkled some money to the original steward, so that they could operate it by themselves.

One of the two literate young men in the Shengdao Workshop is named Zhou Qin and the other is Wei Han, both of whom are twenty-four or five, one of them was injured by a bow and arrow in his left eye, and the other has a scar in his right eye.

After a few busy days, I finally had a clue, and Dugu Xinci was idle, taking two guards to walk around every day. At the beginning, I also pointed out where to build a straight road and where to build a rain pavilion, and I was annoyed at the end of the day, and the craftsmen tossed and tossed, and they were too lazy to speak.

It's just that the manor in Mengcheng'ao insisted on bringing a hot spring and a mountain spring to Huazigang, and it was divided into two aqueducts. A trench was dug around each house and even in the center of the nave to lead the hot spring water through it, and the craftsmen did not know about it, but when the work was completed, they felt the warmth of the house.

The kitchen is also expanded according to their own wishes, and there is a special place for grains, and the pit is also repaired to divert water to wash.

With the demonstration, the craftsmen also used their own clever plans to renovate the villa in Gongchuan.

It's just that the money flowed away like a mountain spring.

Dugu Xinci also does not ask for anything, and often the craftsmen give as much as they give and reward.

The meals for three meals a day are also big meat and meat, although they are doing things, everyone feels a little fatter.

Everyone also saw that this was really not an ordinary rich man.

The craftsmen and hired workers of Zhongsun Village are all familiar with this little prince who has no frame and can even demonstrate the production by himself, and they are not afraid to say hello and make jokes.

The man named Zhongsun Wuyi, who had an expedition to Mohe, was even more saddled before and after the horse, Dugu Xinci was also blue-eyed to him, and promised to let him manage some barren mountains, plant fruit trees and tea trees, and make a deer garden in Luchai for him to get some living creatures to raise.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Xinci has been in Gongchuan for more than half a month, and the eight guards of the county prince's mansion take turns to come on vacation, and even Dugu Wang Ye also brought Shen Wang Ye to stay for two days, all of them are full of praise, more than the praise in the Far East for four years combined, and he also came up with some ideas.

On this day, Zhongsun came to invite Dugu Xinci to Zhongsun Village as a guest, and their head celebrated his 60th birthday.

Dugu was bored, so he agreed.

There is no street ban in the countryside, Zhongsun's family held a dinner party, and Dugu Xin Cishen prepared a rich gift to take the big bear and a dog to celebrate his birthday.

Dugu Xinci also gave the employees of the Zhongsun family a half-day off, and all the members of the Zhongsun family gathered in the largest mansion in the center of the village and town, and two or three hundred people gathered together.

The head of the family's name is Zhongsun Liu, his beard is white, and he goes out of the village to greet him.

Settle Dugu Xinci to sit in the middle hall, and there are seats next to the big bear and a dog.

Zhongsun Liu and one of his clansmen called Zhongsun Yu, as well as the next patriarch, the strong man Zhongsun Wuji, accompanied him.

The birthday banquet is very rich, of course, it cannot be compared with Chang'an City, and it is comparable to the New Year's banquet in this countryside.

There are many craftsmen in the Zhongsun family, and others also have craftsmanship, hunters, boats, and fishing experts, and most of the dishes are mountain fowl and beasts, fish, shrimp, turtles, and eels, steamed and boiled, and thick sauce and sauce.

Quite the appetite of the big bear and a dog, Dugu Xinci also ate with relish, the outside of the table is the family brewed turbid wine, the table in the hall is from Lantian County to buy Xinfeng wine, the wine is still clean, there is very little white silk.

Most of the wine near Chang'an is home-brewed,

The first step is to make "koji", buy it from outside or borrow it from a neighbor or leave some "wine medicine" at your own house, and in June and July every year, use stem rice or millet, mix it with wine and medicine, mix it with hot water and form a cake, put it in a clean place, control the temperature and humidity and let it ferment slowly. After fermentation to a certain extent, it is tied and hung on the stove to smoke, and can be stored for a long time.

The second step is feeding. Wash the large sake urn and put koji, rice and water into it, and the ratio is roughly controlled to ten parts rice and ten parts water for one koji, that is, if you want to use a bucket of koji, you will put one stone of rice and one stone of water at the same time. According to the requirements for wine quality, the amount can be increased or decreased within a certain range, for example, if you want the wine to be stronger, then put less water, more koji and more rice.

The third step is to open the altar. How long does it take for koji, rice, and water to ferment in an urn? It is also according to personal requirements, if you are in a hurry and want to drink the wine, then after six or seven days of sealing the wine, you can open the altar to get the wine. However, the wine poured out in this way can only be "turbid wine", which has a low taste, poor sales, and is very cheap.

If you can calm down and wait for three or two months before taking the wine, the wine poured out will be much brighter and the alcohol content will be higher. But don't pour it directly, if you want to get a more advanced wine, you have to go through several processing procedures.?

The fourth step is to add ash. On the day before the jar is opened, a small amount of limestone, charcoal, grass and wood ash is poured into the jar to end the microbial fermentation process in the jar. Otherwise, after the wine is taken out, it will continue to ferment, and it is easy to put rancidity.

The fifth step is to press the wine, which is to separate the floating vats in the wine. Use a wooden wine bed, trough bed, or bamboo utensils, and even if you have a momentary personality, you can use your own headscarf to pour the original ecological liquor in the urn, and filter out the clear and impurity-free part, which is "sake". The rest of the vat is full of thick turbid liquid, so don't pour it out, you can use it to process food, or you can drink it as "turbid wine".

Sixth, the wine produced in this way is called "raw sake", and if you can drink it in one meal, it will be counted. If you can't finish drinking it, you will still be in danger of becoming rancid, and you may have diarrhea after drinking...... So in the end, these wines still have to be heated to sterilize.

There are two heating methods: high-temperature heating and low-temperature heating. High-temperature heating is also called "boiled wine", but this kind of boiled wine has a very different taste, and many people don't like it.

There are also people who prefer "shochu", which is to use a slight fire to burn slowly, and the raw sake can be heated to 60 or 70 degrees, which can not only sterilize, but also not boil and change the taste. The sake finally made in this way is called "Yakiniharu", and the most famous one produced in the area of Kennam-do is called "Kennam Yakusha".

"A nephew got a jar of burning knives from the little prince, it was a fairy delicacy, and the poor farmer could only entertain the little prince with turbid wine, if it didn't suit his appetite, he could not drink it" Zhongsun Liu also knew the warmth of Dugu's heart, tasted the turbid wine brought by the craftsmen, and praised it.

"It's good, the wine is fragrant, and this warm roast is also appropriate" Dugu Xinci didn't care, and praised after tasting a big bowl.

"The little prince is really a hero, come and come, the farmhouse is clumsy, home-cooked side dishes, see if it suits the taste of the little prince" Zhongsun Liu spoke very politely.

"Yes, this saury is fried and fragrant, and it is very delicious."

"This is the saury in the Yellow River, I heard that the little prince likes to eat saury, and yesterday Wuji made a special trip to the Yellow River to catch it, and this remediation method is also tantamount to stealing the trick of the little prince."

"It's no different from good, this remediation method is almost more than so-and-so"

"Haha, the little prince praises falsely, if you want to say that the Zhongsun family can have a good year this year, this is all the gift of the little prince."

"Our neighbors, we should help each other," Dugu Xinci also calmly accepted the praise.

"That's that, the people of the Zhongsun family will do their best to repair the little prince's treasure villa, and if they are lazy, they will be severely punished."

"It's all very good, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Zhongsun family is much stronger than that in Chang'an City."

"That's good, the craftsman craftsmanship of the Zhongsun family is sloppy, it's just a matter of dedication."

"Yes, as long as you do your best, then you will be complete"

"The little prince is high, come, drink to win"

The host is flattering, and the guests are extravagant and intellectual, and they are lively.

After drinking, Zhongsun Liu actually learned to make a pot of tea with elegance.

The table was removed and the guest and host were seated again.

"Yamanomura tea, I wonder if the little prince can get used to it?"

"Good tea, really good tea, slightly bitter but with endless aftertaste" is an expert in tea Dugu Xin.

"This tea is picked from the wild tea tree on the Yingjian Gorge of Zhongnan Mountain, and it is also an honor to enter the eyes of the little prince."

"Haha, the middle grandson is easy to talk to, maybe give some gifts?"

"Since the little prince likes it, bring it all back and take it all away, and some of them have no time to enjoy this thing"

"Uncle Xie, a certain person likes this mountain and wild things, wild tea, wild vegetables, wild beasts and wild fowl, if you get something, send it to another industry, and a certain will settle at the market price"

"The name of the little prince's generosity is well known to the world, how can such a wild thing collect money?"

"Hey, this is a long-term thing, it doesn't hurt to harvest once or twice, but a certain thing is a long-term thing"

"Then so-and-so thanked the little prince on behalf of the children of the clan"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's fragrant" Dugu Xin's Ci Taste Tea.

"Today, the little prince came to celebrate the old slave's birthday, thank you very much, but there is something that has been planned for a long time, and I almost want to say it to the little prince, but I am afraid of staining the ears of the little prince, today the old slave is drunk and bold, and said that please don't laugh at the little prince"

"It's okay, old man."

"A certain middle grandson's family is from a family in Hedong, although the family is in the middle of the road, but there have also been a few famous ancestors"

"A certain Zhizhong Sun is Gaoyang County Wang"

"Oh, the little prince actually knows a certain cheap surname?"

"Where do you get a cheap surname? The middle grandson is a thousand-year-old family, and there are many heroes."

"The little prince is well-informed, a certain Zhongsun family to the Wei and Jin generations are all county leaders, but since entering the Tang Dynasty, they have been suppressed by various ethnic groups in Hedong, and their talents have withered, so they have fallen to this."

"The generation of Zhongsun's family is surging, and there will be a day of Zhongxing" Dugu is kind and comforting.

"It's difficult" Zhongsun Liu sighed, "Zhongsun's family is in trouble here, the Hedong clan is still unforgiving, more than 200 people live here, it is also artificial, especially the Tang family, now it is quite powerful in the household department, delaying the household registration of more than 100 people, it is difficult"

"The Tang family? The Tang family of Yin Tang Xiujing in Henan Mansion? Dugu Xinci's eyes flickered.

"Exactly, a certain number of people have fallen into lowly households, and they still don't give up, hate" Zhongsun Liu's face changed.

"The tide rises and falls, the rise and fall should be timely, and the old man doesn't have to mind" Dugu is kind and comforting.

"That's, come, come, drink tea" Zhongsun Liu asked for tea.

"Good tea, good tea" Dugu Xinci really likes this kind of wild vegetables.

"It's good that the little prince likes it, the farmer has no instrumental music and dance, but the boys have the strength to play two sets of fists and feet, if the little prince doesn't dislike it, let them come to play twice?"

"A certain person who likes martial arts the most, let a certain see the mastery of the Zhongsun family"

Zhongsun Wuji waved his hand, and a few seats were removed from the courtyard, and seven strong men came out to hug their fists, and began to use their hands and feet together, wandering over and over again, punching and kicking at the same time.

Dugu looked at it with a smile, and applauded the wonders.

Tea kung fu, a few strong men gasped for breath and rested.

"Can you still get into the eyes of the little prince?"

"The fist is like a meteor, the eyes are like electricity, the waist is like a snake, the feet are like a drill, and the formation is good"

"The little prince is really an expert"

"My husband knew that he was a magician, but he really knew six of the seven tricks for his fists and feet, and he didn't know anything."

"The little prince laughed," Zhongsun Liu hugged his fists, "There is something to ask the little prince"

"Neighbors help each other is the legacy of the ancients, the old man does not have to use the word, if a certain can do it, naturally do not hesitate to help the old man"

"A certain middle grandson's whole clan wants to be a vassal of the little prince's subordinates"
