After the idea of brewing wine popped up in his head, Liu Xiu's first thought was the monkey group next door, they would make wine, although it was fruit wine, but the wine was very special, the taste naturally needless to say, it was commendable that the monkey wine was also very nourishing, it could be described as a treasure of heaven and earth, if it was taken by a person who practiced martial arts for a long time, it would help him to improve himself a lot, but it was difficult for ordinary people to drink.

"Learn how to make wine from the monkeys? It's not that it can't, it's just that it doesn't make much sense to learn from it......" Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and then rejected the idea.

Don't look at the monkey wine is just a monkey tinkering, but as long as you think about it, you should understand that the formation of that kind of wine requires harsh conditions, how much each fruit is added, the environment, the temperature, and other things, all kinds of reasons combine to form a unique monkey wine, any of which conditions are indispensable, the monkeys don't know how many years of experience have accumulated to form the instinct to brew monkey wine, want to brew monkey wine, really not just think about it can be made.

What's more, if it's just a simple brew of monkey wine, let's not talk about whether you can succeed, even if you can succeed, the monkeys have a ready-made self, why waste that energy? Isn't it okay to exchange things for them?

"Distilled liquor, this is relatively simple, I can go to the town to buy ready-made liquor, and then tinker with some distillation utensils and experiment should be able to figure it out, it's just a matter of time, followed by rice wine, it seems to be fermented with steamed rice, uh, it looks like I want to add koji or something......

Thinking of these, Liu Xiu was one head and two big, and finally didn't want to do it at all, so he went to Qingliu Town and directly found a wine-making workshop to learn more about it, and saved himself from thinking about some useless things.

With an idea, Liu Xiu immediately put it into action, packed up and changed into a set of clean clothes, and went out of the mountain to Qingliu Town.

Of course, he brought the money, think about it, you know, this kind of thing of brewing, for himself is just boring to pass the time to satisfy the appetite, but for others, maybe that is the capital of life, it is impossible to go to the door others will teach him, he expects to spend money to learn technology.

Outside the mountain, along the way, countless farmers were busy harvesting crops in the fields, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvesting, even if they were tired and sweating.

Unlike last year, this year's year is good, there are no major disasters, and the normal harvesting of crops is already a rare good year for ordinary farmers.

Observing along the way, Liu Xiu found that the crops planted by farmers outside the mountains had less yield than the rice they planted, probably only two-thirds of the yield of the rice they planted, and they didn't even manage the planting process......

"It should be a problem of weeding, think about it, although I don't manage the crops much, but there are bee colonies to clean up the weeds, without weeds and nutrients, the yield of the crops I grow is naturally higher, and these farmers grow crops, they can't clean up the weeds like the bee colony, plus the fertility of the fields is not enough after year to year, and the yield is normal for low yields......"

Liu Xiu quickly figured out the reason, and then thought of his own planting techniques, if they were promoted......

"Forget it, take your time, don't be in a hurry, judging from the current situation, the situation of farmers selling their sons and daughters should be reduced a lot this year" Shaking his head, Liu Xiu no longer dwelled on these.

Flashing back to the picture of selling children and daughters when he went to pay taxes with the villagers of Linbian Village last year, to be honest, Liu Xiu's heart was quite unpleasant, but he couldn't change anything all at once, and his mood was quite complicated.

Coming to Qingliu Town again, Liu Xiu's keen senses immediately noticed that the atmosphere here was a little different!

At this time last year, Qingliu Town was busy and noisy, and the villagers would try their best to bring in grain for taxes, although this year it was more lively because there was no disaster, but Liu Xiu found that people's expressions seemed to be with a certain tension and uneasiness, and the whole town seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

The most intuitive manifestation of this atmosphere is that there are more people patrolling the streets with knives!

Liu Xiu recognized that those patrolling with knives were the people of the three major families in Qingliu Town, who were responsible for maintaining law and order in Qingliu Town, and this was the case last year, but now that I look at it, there are too many people patrolling like this, and a team of people walks through the streets almost every few minutes.

"Is something wrong......

frowned and muttered to herself, but Liu Xiu couldn't see why.

The main purpose of his trip was to learn brewing techniques, and this discovery was temporarily pressed in his heart, so he first asked where he could learn brewing techniques.

Of course, it is best to go to the tavern to inquire about this kind of thing, after all, the tavern is the place that deals with wine most directly, and it is easy to involve a series of industrial chains about wine.

When I came to a tavern, before Liu Xiu could inquire about winemaking, the first thing I heard was the depressing topic that some drinkers were talking about.

In Aoyagi Town, there are often women missing in recent times, and they are all young women, not one or two cases, almost every day, there are several women missing, sometimes even as many as a dozen!

No one knows where those women went, it was like the world had evaporated, and now there were almost no young and beautiful women on the streets, all of them hiding in their homes, and everyone was in danger.

Hearing this news, Liu Xiu frowned, and when she contacted the current security situation in Qingliu Town, she suddenly understood in her heart.

"A large number of girls are missing, is it the organization behind those men in black that did it? It's all spread to small places like Aoyagi Town......"

Recalling the experience of Chun Shang's own travel, Liu Xiu's heart was clouded with a layer of haze, Wanhua City is thousands of miles away from Qingliu Town, if the situation of that organization kidnapping young women has already spread here, Liu Xiu can't imagine how many women have fallen into the hands of that organization.

"I heard Shen Feng say that the purpose of that organization to kidnap women is to train them to be tools to control martial artists......

Muttering to herself, Liu Xiu understands very well what will happen if she makes an ordinary woman a tool to control others, first use her body to tempt, and then poison ......, in short, the victims are those innocent women!

Of course, these are just Liu Xiu's guesses, even if the guess is correct, and he has no good way to solve this matter, if he encounters it, he can also rescue those innocent women, but the scope is too wide, he can't manage it alone.

As for destroying that organization, Liu Xiu didn't think about it, but let's not talk about whether he has that ability, the question is where is that organization? Who are they?

"If it's really as I guessed, I'm afraid that the major forces have taken action now, otherwise, the three small families in Aoyagi Town alone can't organize such a serious security team......"

The mind flickered, this question Liu Xiu kept in mind, and after coming to the tavern and ordering something, he asked from the tavern where he could learn winemaking techniques.

At first, the shopkeeper looked at Liu Xiu with a strange expression, but after giving a tip of a silver coin, Xiao Er quickly gave Liu Xiu the answer he wanted with a smile.

In Aoyagi Town, if you want to learn to make wine, there are only three places to go, that is, the three families in the town, and the brewing technology is all controlled by the three of them, ordinary people want to make wine, not to mention whether there are so many food problems, first of all, you have to pass the three families, to put it bluntly, about the wine business, Aoyagi Town has been monopolized by three families, and ordinary taverns are only retail, and they can only get goods through those three.

"If you want to make some wine and drink it yourself, why is it so difficult" After Xiao Er left, Liu Xiu couldn't help but be speechless.

If you want to learn how to make wine, you can only go to the brewing workshops of the three families......

After thinking about it a little, Liu Xiu first excluded the Tian family and the Zhou family, after all, he had no friendship with those two families, and the only thing left was the Liu family, so he had a little friendship, and he could be said to have helped his family solve the problem of breaking the family, and it should not be difficult to learn some winemaking technology, after all, he only learned winemaking technology to drink by himself, and there was no direct conflict of interest.

After saying that after so long, I don't know what happened to Liu Qingqing in the reserve of the Ironclad Army......

"Brother Liu?"

Just as Liu Xiu was muttering in his heart and was about to settle the bill and get up to go to Liu's house to ask, a nice voice with uncertainty sounded a few meters away.

Hearing this voice, Liu Xiu subconsciously looked up, and it was Liu Qingqing who spoke.

"Miss Liu, Cao Cao and you are related?" Liu Xiu looked at her and said in amazement, why can't this girl stand the chatter.

Seeing Liu Qingqing again after more than a year, she has changed a lot, she has grown taller, her skin has darkened a little, she is still so beautiful, but she no longer looks as weak as she did at the beginning, but looks heroic, maybe because of her martial arts practice, she has a great figure......

At this time, Liu Qingqing was dressed in pitch-black armor, with a long knife hanging on his waist, a small crossbow on his back, and daggers inserted in his legs.

"Brother Liu, it's really you, I thought I was wrong, who is Cao Cao? I don't have this relative," she walked to Liu Xiu's table and chirped.

The set of armor on her body is not the same, and her actions are not affected at all, and it seems that she has not wasted her time for more than a year.

While secretly saying in his heart, Liu Xiu changed the topic without a trace and asked, "Miss Liu, aren't you in the reserve of the Iron Army?" How did you get here? Coming back to save your family? ”

At the mention of this, Liu Qingqing subconsciously glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said with a little smugness: "Brother Liu, let me tell you, now I am an official member of the Iron Armor Army, a martial artist who has opened up the two meridians, who wants to bully you, you tell me, I will help you beat him!" ”

"Wow, isn't that amazing?" Liu Xiu deliberately exaggerated, and said in his heart that I probably guessed it by looking at your pretense, and I can barely cooperate with your posture of praising me......
