Chapter 107: Night Walking

When he was cooking rice, Lu Yu suddenly thought, since there is so much rice now, can't he make some wine? Lu Yu decided to start preparing for wine making tomorrow.

Lu Yu had seen the villagers make wine from sweet potatoes and corn before, and knew how to make local wine.

After scooping a sack of rice, the chaff was set on fire by Lu Yu in the rice field. At dinner in the evening, Lu Yu told Yan Jibai that he planned to brew two hundred catties of rice liquor.

Yan Jibai agrees with Lu Yu's idea, and Yan Jibai prefers to drink alcohol to Lu Yu.

After dinner, Lu Yu filled two sacks of rice and soaked it in the stream of Anding Valley, which needed to be soaked for twelve hours in a row, and then the rice could be steamed in a pot.

During the day, the rice was still soaked in the stream, and Lu Yu didn't go up the mountain to hunt, so he went into the valley to scoop some rice and sent it to the town. Now whether Lu Yu goes into the valley to cook rice or go to the town, she must take Yan Xi'an with her, and this girl doesn't care what her parents think or say, she sticks to Lu Yu's side all day long. Lu Yu guessed that Yan Jibai and his wife were afraid that they already knew about their relationship with their daughter, but they didn't say it.

Lu Ming asked Lu Yu why he still had rice to distribute to himself. Lu Yu said that the food at home can support the corn harvest, and if there is more, he will send some over.

Lu Yu asked Lu Ming: "Those people from the Charity Society, have they come to harass you again?" ”

"They didn't come to my house, but the rest of the town suffered. It's nothing to eat and rob, but I pity many girls and daughters-in-law, and I don't know how much they have wasted. ”

Lu Yu sighed and thought to himself: "The Benevolence Society is on the evil side, it seems that I must find a time to 'talk' with that Lin Siyao." Lu Yu is not worried about whether he will talk about it, if he really can't talk about it, he can still do it.

In the evening, Lu Yu went to the valley to bring out the rice that had been soaked for a day and a night, and the rice had been soaked and soft, and it could be crushed with a light twist of his fingers. Lu Yu put on a large pot and carried it on the stove, with a steamer on the pot, spread the soaked rice in the steamer and spread it evenly, and then steam it over a high fire.

The pot is very big, and the steamer is also very large, but two hundred catties of rice still can't be steamed at one time, and Lu Yu steamed it a total of three times before steaming all the rice. After steaming, Lu Yu didn't care anymore, and decided to get some koji to mix the next day.

Lu Yu can't make koji, so he can only buy it outside, but fortunately, koji is not a rare thing, and it can be bought in many grocery stores. It's better to buy koji at a liquor shop, but unfortunately there is no one that is open anymore.

Early the next morning, Lu Yu said a word to Yan Xi'an, entered Anding Valley, and then teleported from the valley to Dunlin Town. Lu Yu could directly teleport from any location into the Stability Valley, but there was no way to teleport from the Stability Valley to any location. Limited to cultivation, Lu Yu spread from Anding Valley to the outside, and it could be transmitted for more than 100 miles at most. Originally, a hundred miles was not close, but there were more than 100 miles on the edge of Yang Mountain in Anding Valley, so it could be transmitted from the valley to Dunlin Town.

There are only two grocery stores open in town, but neither of them sells koji. After thinking about it, Lu Yu decided to go to Jinhua City to have a look, now that the weather is normal, maybe Jinhua City is not so chaotic.

Out of Dunlin Town, when there was no one on the road, Lu Yu ran all the way, and walked slowly when he saw someone. It didn't take long for Lu Yu to arrive in Jinhua City.

There are indeed a little more people in the city, and some shops have opened, but they are still far less popular than they were before the disaster. Even compared to when Lu Yu first came, it was much inferior.

Lu Yu asked a few shops, and they all said that there was no koji for sale, so he turned around the street for several days, and finally bought a few pieces of koji in a small grocery store in the middle of nowhere.

The shopkeeper asked Lu Yu which village he was from, and how he could still have surplus grain to make wine.

Lu Yu said that he was from Yangshan Village, and seeing that the climate was good this year, maybe there would be surplus grain after the autumn harvest, and the koji would be bought back for preparation first.

The shopkeeper said that his ancestors were from Yangshan Village, and his surname was Lu. Boss Lu reported his grandfather's name, but Lu Yu had never heard of it. Boss Lu said that his grandfather moved from the village to Jinhua City when he was very young, and rarely went back after that, saying that Lu Yu was at most in his twenties, and it was normal not to know him.

Lu Yu smiled and thought, "I'm almost thirty-three, you said I'm only in my early twenties." ”

Perhaps because he saw the "fellow villagers", Boss Lu said a lot, he and Lu Yu said: "Now the rice shop in the city can't buy a grain of rice, and if you want to eat and live, you can only buy grain from the people of the Charity Society at a high price." ”

"Will there be surplus food to be sold?" Lu Yu was surprised.

Boss Lu closed the door of the store before he dared to whisper: "They are robbing everywhere, asking for it everywhere, and they can't eat enough food, so of course they have to sell it." ”

Lu Yu nodded, and asked again, "Then why do they want money?" ”

"Money, don't look at the disaster year is not very useful, but this disaster year is not always going to pass, at that time money is still money, or a good thing that can buy anything." Boss Lu spread his hands and said, "Don't look at a few pieces of koji, I will accept two catties of silver from you, and you can't buy two catties of rice when you take two coins of silver to the Charity Society." ”

The price of grain is so high, Lu Yu didn't feel strange, after all, the new grain didn't come ashore, and now the grain in the city is monopolized by the Charity Society, but I'm afraid that the price of grain may not come down in the future.

Boss Lu complained to Lu Yu a few more words, talking about how difficult life in the city is, how evil the Society is, anyway, it will never leave the Society.

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he asked Boss Lu: "Have you seen that Lin Siyao from the shopkeeper?" ”

"Yes, this person often goes out to patrol the streets, and no one in Jinhua City doesn't know him."

"Patrolling the streets? He thinks of himself as a parent in the city. ”

Boss Lu said: "Where is the parent official, he can now be regarded as the emperor of the soil in Jinhua City, and he can do whatever he wants." ”

Lu Yu nodded, and asked again, "Then do you know where he lives?" ”

"I don't know about this, in the past, the mansions of several big families in the city were occupied by Na Lin Siyao, and outsiders don't know where he lives every night." Boss Lu asked Lu Yu: "Little brother, aren't you going to go to him?" ”

Lu Yu smiled: "It's not, but I do want to meet this Lin Siyao." ”

Boss Lu was skeptical and said: "It's not difficult for you to really want to see him, there are a lot of people in the Charity Society on the street, you can find one at random, as long as the money is enough, someone will take you to see that Lin Siyao." ”

"Hehe, I see that he still wants money." Lu Yu didn't say anything more, and went out with the koji in his arms. He didn't plan to go to Lin Siyao today, it was still daytime, and it was not very convenient to really do it.

Rushing home, it was already past noon, and Lu Yu hadn't eaten, so he crushed two pieces of koji and mixed them with the cooked and cooled rice. Two hundred catties of rice mixed with one catty of koji, after mixing well, Lu Yu put the mixed rice into a clay pot, and then covered the mouth of the jar with a wooden board. The wooden board should not be covered too tightly, and it is necessary to leave a slit for ventilation, and the fermentation of koji also requires breathing.

This is the first fermentation, and it needs to be left for three or four days, and after three or four days, water is poured into the tank. The quality of the water added determines the quality of the wine, so Lu Yu plans to go to the Anding Valley Spring to get water at that time.

In the past three days, Lu Yu and called Lao Gao Lu Di to go up the mountain to hunt on the first day, and the harvest was good on this day, in a dense forest that he had never been to somewhere, he caught a wild boar, as well as a number of pheasants and hares.

There was food, vegetables, and meat, Lu Yu felt that he should not lack anything now, but in his heart he felt that something seemed to be missing.

After dinner, Lu Yu called Yan Xi'an outside the door and whispered to her that he wanted to go to Jinhua City at night. Yan Xi'an asked him what he was doing in Jinhua City at night.

"Go find Lin Siyao from the Charity Society." Lu Yu wanted to persuade Lin Siyan to restrain himself, he was worried that the merchants in Jinhua City and Dunlin Town would be harmed by the Relief Society.

"I'm going too." Yan Xi'an's tone did not allow Lu Yu to refuse.

Lu Yu said: "It may be dangerous to go there, I don't want you to go." ”

"You say it again?" Yan Xi'an glared at Lu Yu fiercely.

Lu Yu sneered and said, "Okay, let's go together." After a pause, Lu Yu asked again: "Then you are not at home at night, what should your mother do if she knows?" ”

"Uh......" Yan Xi'an also felt embarrassed, and said to Lu Yu: "Uncle, can't you go during the day?" You go alone, I don't feel at ease. ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Don't worry, no one can hurt my uncle." ”

"Are you really going?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Dunlin Town and those vendors in Jinhua City are all bullied by the people of the Relief Society, I want to talk to that Lin Siyao." ”

"This man is so bad, uncle, are you going to teach him a lesson?"

"If you can't talk, maybe you have to teach him a lesson." Lu Yu continued: "Last time we went to buy a sickle, do you remember what the shopkeeper said, the bad guys of the Charity Society will 'eat people'. ”

"yes, what the hell is 'cannibalism'?"

Lu Yu laughed and said, "That 'cannibalism' is ...... Men bully women, the kind that is very humiliating. ”

"Okay, I got it." Yan Xi'an's face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "They are so bad, uncle, you must teach them a heavy lesson." ”

"yes. I'll come back after I've finished teaching them, and you can wait for my news at home. ”

Yan Xi'an nodded: "Then uncle, you must be careful, I don't allow you to get hurt." ”

"I'll be careful, bring a kitchen knife."

The kitchen knife was too big to be pinned to his waist, and Lu Yu didn't want to just carry it to Lin Siyao, so he found a cloth bag to tie the kitchen knife to his back, and put a coat on the outside.

Running all the way, it didn't take long for Lu Yu to arrive at Jinhua City. As soon as you enter the city, you can only see that it is pitch black, and there are no pedestrians on the street.

Lu Yu jumped on the roof of a tall building, looked around, and saw a house in the city with lights on. Lu Yufei got off the tall building and floated towards the mansion.

Approaching the mansion, Lu Yu stopped at a corner, looked cautiously towards the side of the mansion, and saw two men with knives standing at the gate of the courtyard. Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to sneak into the courtyard.
