After having a fixed residence, of course, Jiajing would not let the little ones continue to pick up garbage to live, so he discussed it with Yan Mei and decided to open a tavern to make a living.

It is also because of this ancient recipe for winemaking that others coveted it, and after they couldn't get it, they secretly set fire to Yanmei's parents' winery, Yanmei's family of seven, and only she escaped.

But before that, Yan Mei's parents felt that it was risky to keep the ancient recipe, so they destroyed the ancient recipe and only let Yan Mei keep it in mind.

Now that she has capital, Yan Mei remembers that they can make a living from it.

The cost of brewing is not much, as long as a few houses in their courtyard are slightly renovated, they can be used as shops.

The rest is to buy some tools and materials for winemaking, make a batch of good wine, and you can open for business directly.

Yanmei was born in a winemaking family, and when she was six or seven years old, she had been exposed to the winemaking process, so she was very familiar with it, and after discussing with Jiajing, she happily took a group of little hairy children to the street to buy winemaking tools and materials.

A full set of wine-making tools, two carts of grain, a total of more than 200 gold, Yan Mei also specially invited someone to go to the mountain spring of the Erling Spring halfway up the mountain outside the city to transport a large waterwheel, and it was dry that night.

Jiajing was idle and bored, repeatedly playing with the peacemaker in his hand, and didn't know where to go now, so he simply followed Yanmei to see how she made wine.

Yan Mei was soaking all kinds of wine-making materials in the big vat, and when she saw Jiajing beside her and didn't know how to help, she smiled and said: "You go out first, there are not many people needed to make wine, and many people brew their own wines at home. If you make good wine, and then let Renault and them help, there are enough people, so you don't have to work hard. ”

Jiajing smiled slightly and shrugged: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, just tell me how to help, I'll do it." ”

Yan Mei wiped the small beads of sweat on her forehead and patiently explained to Jiajing: "Generally, the materials used in winemaking are rice or wheat. After soaking rice, blanching rice, and steaming, the rice is received, and then fermentation, sour pulp, and sweet millet are added, and then the rice is fed and fermented, and then pressed, sake lees, fermented again, and finally clarified, you can get the finished wine, and the time required for the process is generally two or three months or even longer. And my ancestral secret recipe, which is mixed and brewed with several of these ingredients, and the process has been improved by my ancestors, is different from the traditional one, and needs to be ......."

Jiajing raised his hand, wiped the cold sweat that kept coming out of his forehead, felt his head dizzy as if he was about to burst, and saw that Yanmei was still dancing with interest to explain the pile of props in front of him, Jiajing had to wave his hand stupidly, "Okay, okay, it seems that I am really not suitable for this job." ”

This is a large list of professional terms, how can Jiajing, who was born undercover, understand it.

However, Jiajing remembered that the liquor had to be distilled and purified to get a high concentration of good wine, which Yan Mei didn't seem to mention, so he said a few words casually, which aroused Yan Mei's strong interest, and asked again and again how to distill.

Fortunately, Jiajing probably remembered the structure of the distillation device, so he drew a simple distillation device according to his memory, which made Yan Mei very surprised and devoted herself to studying this set of distillation equipment.

However, this empire is short of materials, and I don't know where to find the kind of conical glass that makes distillation devices, Jiajing saw Yan Mei's fascinated appearance, so she had to let her.

Later, Jiajing saw the struggling appearance of those children carrying the wine jar to the cellar, and remembered that Nanquan could enhance their physique and improve their strength, so he taught them all the Nanquan he mastered. Those children have been bullied since they were young, and they have always fantasized about being able to practice advanced martial arts and take revenge on those hooligans who bullied them.

Yan Mei tinkered with the distillation device painted by Jiajing for more than half a month, and actually made a finished product for her. However, the curved neck glass container inside was replaced by her with an amber, similar to a crystal container, and I heard her say that it cost hundreds of gold to order it from a magic shop with drawings - many magicians who study alchemy will make containers in this form.

More than three months passed quickly, and there were only more than a hundred gold coins left.

When Jiajing was about to go out to see if he could make some money, he met Yan Mei and Renault with happy faces.

"What's so happy?" Jiajing teased.

"No, it's nothing...... Yan Mei hurriedly lowered her head and gave him a back mysteriously: "You'll know it at night." ”

Jiajing had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head, "I really can't help you." ”

This trip went out, and it was already night when he came back, and Jiajing lay on his bed and soon fell asleep unconsciously.

When Renault came in and woke him up, he went to wash his face in a daze, and then followed Renault to the dining room.

But I saw that Rick and his ten children were already sitting neatly around the dinner table, and everyone was wearing the new clothes that Jiajing had bought for them not long ago.

When they saw Jiajing and Renault coming, their faces were all filled with sweet smiles, and they cheered in unison: "Congratulations to Brother Jiajing and Sister-in-law Yanmei on their success!"

Jiajing was slightly stunned: What, sister-in-law Yanmei?

Surprised, he turned his head to look, but found that Renault was making movements to direct them to speak, so he couldn't help but smile helplessly and knocked Renault on the head: "It's your bad idea, right?"

Renault suddenly did not have the hippie smile he used to have, but said with a serious face and a sincere tone: "Brother Jiajing is so good to us, give us a place to live, give us clothes to wear, and provide us with food, teach us to practice martial arts, the great kindness of the eldest brother, we will never forget! We have nothing valuable to give to the eldest brother, we can only conscientiously help make wine, and use our life to repay the eldest brother loyally!"

The girl's eyes were red, "If it weren't for Sister Yanmei, we would have starved to death a long time ago." Sister Yanmei thinks about us everything, she would rather not eat it herself than leave it for us to eat, we are orphans, we don't have names, and Sister Yanmei gave us everything. When the hooligans bullied us, Sister Yanmei was also the first to stand up for us. The last time the people of the Axe Gang came to break the temple, it was all thanks to Brother Jiajing to help us, so Sister Yanmei was not hurt more, and from then on, I decided that I must repay Brother Jiajing in the future. I hope that Brother Jiajing and Sister Yanmei will always be happy and happy!"

Jiajing shook her head helplessly, "Silly girl, we are all a family, what do you say about repaying or not, you will be repaid if you are well fed, clothed and slept well." ”

Renault nodded heavily: "Yes, we are all family!"

Yan Mei had just come in from outside with vegetables, greeted Renault with a smile and said, "Today is a big day for our family, Renault, there are still dishes in the kitchen, hurry up and help bring them up." ”

The meal lasted more than an hour, and after eating, several children cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Then Yan Mei took out a round object wrapped in red cloth from under the stool, and said to Jiajing: "Brother Jiajing, this is a gift we give you together, you can open it and take a look." ”

Jiajing took it curiously, opened the red cloth and saw that it was a small wine jar, and then he suddenly slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Oh-Yanmei, it turns out that the surprise you were referring to during the day is that the wine has been brewed?"

Yan Mei nodded and replied with a smile: "Well, Brother Jiajing is so smart. ”

Jiajing smiled and asked, "I don't know how it tastes?"

Yan Meijiao smiled and said, "You can try it and you'll know." ”

Jiajing followed and pinched the sealing mud, and a strong and mellow aroma of wine immediately came out from the gap in the lid.

Jiajing took the lid and poured half a bowl to take a sip, a burst of mellow liquid flowed into his mouth, and the aroma suddenly came to his nose. When he swallowed it in one gulp, the liquid immediately changed to another taste, as if it burned into a fire in his throat, smashed into his heart, and burned Jiajing's throat to a hot pain, but he felt that in addition to this pain, there was a different taste.

Jiajing's face suddenly turned red, he opened his mouth and spit out two breaths, and said honestly: "I don't know how to drink, but I also think it's delicious, especially the moment I swallow it, it's like swallowing a fire, and it's indescribably comfortable, which makes people want to have another bowl." ”

Yan Mei's face turned red when she saw Jiajing drink a bowl, and she couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Brother Jiajing really can't drink, so I wouldn't have tried the distilled wine for you if I knew it." This wine is made with a unique secret recipe, and after distillation, it is five or six times stronger than ordinary wine, and there are even more powerful ones in the cellar. ”

Jiajing shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm happy today, keep drinking." ”

Yan Mei also poured herself a bowl, and said with a smile: "Well, then I'll accompany Brother Jiajing to drink!"

Renault and they also coaxed: "We want it too!"

Yan Mei snorted, "No, you're still young, you can't drink!"

Jiajing smiled, "Yanmei, let them drink a little! They also have credit for this wine, and they should always let them know what the wine tastes like." ”

Yan Mei saw Jiajing say this, so she shook her head helplessly: "Okay, everyone is only allowed to taste one sip, too much is not allowed, let me go back to sleep after drinking!"

She underestimated the power of wine, and everyone couldn't stop drinking it, so everyone drank most of the bowl, and took out another small jar of wine under the table.

These children had never drunk alcohol before, and when they were half a bowl down, they suddenly felt dizzy, so they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

Jiajing doesn't know how much he has drunk, anyway, he just watches people change from one to three, and the world is constantly spinning.

Yanmei was born in a winemaking family and has a good amount of wine.

Although it was the first time to drink such a spirit, his mind was still relatively sober, and when he saw Jiajing about to fall, he hurriedly snatched the bowl from his hand and persuaded softly: "Brother Jiajing, don't drink it, I'll help you go back to rest." ”

Jiajing was dazed, so he nodded hard.

Yan Mei helped Jiajing into Jiajing's bedroom, let him sit on the bed, went out and brought warm water and towels in, wiped Jiajing's face clean, and then gently put him down on the bed, let him lie down, and turned around and left quietly with his face.

When she walked to the door, Yan Mei's face suddenly turned red, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, slowly put her face on the ground, and gently closed the door.

She walked back to the bed, leaned over, put her small mouth to Jiajing's earlobe and whispered, "Brother Jiajing, I have a gift for you." ”
