Chapter 42 The wedding date has been set, and the winemaking workshop
Ying Zihan and Yang Xixi walked on the road like lovers for many years, and Ying Zihan comforted Yang Xixi only when she said anything.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Ying Zihan saw a group of people discussing the food they didn't know.
A man put a load of sweet potatoes at the door of the warehouse and waited for the personnel to register. He ignored the hot sweat on my own body and asked curiously, "Hey, does the little brother know how to eat something?" The other people around him were also curious about it, and listened carefully with their ears pricked up, they had never seen food like this.
The young man was a little embarrassed: "I don't know." But it looks like it's going to be eaten with a bite. ”
The man didn't react for a while, and Yang Xixi snorted and burst into laughter. The corners of Ying Zihan's mouth are also twitching faintly, this guy still has a bit of humor.
When the others heard the female voice coming over, they saw Ying Zihan's arrival and hurriedly saluted. Ying Zihan asked everyone to calm down and said to everyone: "Everyone work hard, and when the harvest is completed, I will arrange for everyone to eat these things together in the city, and you will know how to eat them when the time comes." ”
Everyone was immediately full of energy, wanting to get all this strange food back as soon as possible.
Ying Zihan went to ask the warehouse management again: "How many sweet potatoes and potatoes are there now, and how many have not been harvested?"
The warehouse management replied respectfully: "600 quintals of sweet potatoes and 200 quintals of potatoes." So far, only a quarter of the land has been harvested. It is expected that it will take about 10 days for all the sweet potatoes and potatoes to be dug up and shipped back. ”
Ying Zihan checked the account books for a while, encouraged him a few words, and then led people away.
Yang Xixi originally wanted to ask how to eat this and how it tasted, but Ying Zihan said that she couldn't eat it alone, and she had to wait for everyone to eat it together in the future. Then he sent Yang Xixi back to the barracks.
Ying Zihan went to Ying Cheng again and told him about meeting Yang Xixi. Of course, he is not happy to report the good news to adults because he is in love, he has his own plans.
After hearing this, Ying Cheng understood what Ying Zihan meant, and asked, "Your Highness wants me to propose marriage as soon as possible?"
Ying Zihan replied: "That's right, ordinary people don't know about new crops yet. I plan to give out new food for free during the big wedding for the people to taste. Then they will try to grow these crops in the future... It just so happened that the song had just been completed, and there was no celebration, so take advantage of this opportunity as soon as possible..."Ying Zihan began to pay attention to a few birds with one stone again.
Ying Cheng was very speechless when he heard this, feeling that your old man even has to make a fuss about his own marriage, fortunately it is not my granddaughter who marries you. But everyone else spoke, and Yingcheng agreed, but he raised a question: "Your Highness, this matter is relatively simple, but there is a very important matter, do you want your parents to invite over?"
Ying Zihan was stunned suddenly, and he forgot about it himself. Then he fell into deep thought, whether to invite or not to invite, Forget it, or please, I guess they won't come. So Ying Zihan said: "Then send someone to send the invitation over, don't remember, keep a low profile, lest the whole world know about it, and then some people with ulterior motives come to us to find out the truth in this name." ”
Ying Cheng nodded helplessly, thinking: This highness is really too suspicious.
In this way, in the next few days, Yingcheng quickly booked the wedding date with Yang Yuan after sending the dowry gift. The time was forty days later, and at that time, the people of Wangcheng would be able to reach Qin Land after receiving the news. Ying Zihan believed that his father would never come, but his mother might come back once.
After the brewing room and brewing equipment were completed, Ying Zihan also found two people who could make wine from Qin Di and the slaves. One is called Weng Niu and the other is called Schott. Ying Zihan took out the brewing method given by the system and let them brew it, but the raw material was neither barley nor rice. Although the two of them were confused, they still followed the operation. Ying Zihan gave them a different division of labor, Weng Niu made white wine, and Schott made sweet wine. If it weren't for the fact that there were no grapes in the West of this world, Ying Zihan would have planned to make wine.
(Note: Sweet potatoes can be used to make sweet wine, if you don't believe it, you can check it on the Internet)
Ying Zihan has been scaring with them for a few days, and has arranged a few helpers for each of them, helping them to do things, while Ying Zihan requires them to master the technology. In the future, the winery will not be so small, which will be one of the important sources of income for Ying Zihan.
After a failure, Schott made sweet wine, and Weng Niu succeeded in making white wine in one go. However, strictly speaking, it can only be called muddy wine, which is the muddy wine of "Mo Xiao Farmhouse Wax Wine". Although Ying Zihan didn't drink a drop of wine in this life and his previous life, he had no appetite when he looked at this cloudy wine, which was much worse than the wine he had seen at the Stoke family banquet before.
This means that if Ying Zihan sells it like this, it can only be sold to ordinary people, and the upper nobles will never buy it. So Ying Zihan began to instruct them to distill the liquor again, and after a distillation, the impurities were basically gone. After two distillations, the liqueur tastes better and the liquor is stronger and stronger.
Ying Zihan made everyone have to keep it a strict secret, and transferred soldiers to guard the place, and then let them start making wine on a large scale. As for the current scale, it is still a bit small, and Ying Zihan has already sent people to step up the construction and build a winery that sells well in the mainland.
As for the first batch of wine and the wine brewed in the following time, Ying Zihan plans to use it at his wedding, as for worrying about being drunk, Ying Zihan said that he doesn't drink, to see who dares to persuade him to drink.
(Small story: I don't smoke or drink in real life, and I don't drink alcohol at banquets and dinners, and some people say that if you don't drink, you won't give me face.) I usually refuse first, but I really can't stand it or get angry and reply: "If I don't give you face, what's the matter." "I'm a person who doesn't like to wronged myself, and if I don't drink, I don't drink. )
During this time, the moat had already begun to be built for a period of time, and according to the drawings, a moat with a width of seven meters and a depth of four meters was to be dug about three meters outside the outer city wall. Such a large moat is worthy of such a majestic big city. It's just a little embarrassing that there will be not a drop of water in this river for a long time...
Yingcheng was not idle during this time, he and a group of subordinates surveyed the terrain every day with drawings, and then made marks to prepare for the construction of the canal in the future. Ying Zihan looked at this old man who was nearly half a hundred years old and tired all day long, and felt a little uncomfortable for the first time. I want to replace him and leave the work to someone else. But Yingcheng refused, and he said a lot of things, which meant that he was most familiar with the situation in Qindi, and he was not at ease with others. Ying Zihan promised him that he would name the river in the future, and Ying Cheng was moved again.
Now that Ino has free time, Ying Zihan handed over to him everything that needed to be prepared for the wedding, anyway, he is now in charge of trade, Ying Zihan told him: "If you don't understand anything, just ask those old people in the city, don't ask me, I don't know." "Ying Zihan wants to be a lazy person and doesn't want to worry about these things. Some time ago, he didn't have time to play happily, so now that he was free, he took Yang Xixi out hunting.
