Lie Rare, who has been paying attention to the movements here, began to cellar today, and came over cheekily, just wanting to watch the ratio and distillation process of this wine and grain. Qi Xiaoyang hated this guy's meanness, and he was not happy to stand in front of him, let alone let him see his winemaking process. "Boss Lehan, we're busy, you have nothing to do to go back and rest, don't delay me and Uncle Wallin's work!" Qi Xiaoyang saw that it was useless to look at him coldly, so he unceremoniously drove him away.

Lie rarely couldn't stay any longer, so he had to go away in a huff, but he didn't say anything nasty. When he went out with his front foot, Qi Xiaoyang told Ai Xi to close the door with his back foot. But it didn't take long for there to be a knock on the door outside, Ai Xi went to cook, and Qi Xiaoyang had to put down the shovel in his hand to open the door.

"Brother Xiaoyang, I heard that you have been admitted to the soul class of the martial arts school, congratulations!" Standing outside the door was Liehan's daughter Xiaolong, since that time she wanted to find Qi Xiaoyang to be a thug and was rejected, this girl has never been here, and she has never shown her face in the past two days of vacation, and now she came to congratulate, hehe! But he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, besides, it was a little girl, Qi Xiaoyang had to respond: "Thank you, I have nothing else to do." ”

"Brother Xiaoyang, we will be in the same school in the future, you have to take care of me more, I will sit with you today, you won't refuse me, right?" Xiao Long said in a coquettish tone, and he didn't know what basis this coquettish was sprinkled.

Qi Xiaoyang felt a chill in his heart, he really had a father and a daughter, obviously he was sent to be a spy, but he had to pretend to be innocent! But Qi Xiaoyang still put Xiaolong into the courtyard, I don't believe that she can understand anything after reading it once.

Mrs. Kua is tall and physically strong, and her physical strength is much stronger than that of earthlings, Uncle Wallin can top three alone, and more than 1,000 catties of grain were quickly dug out and piled up in the shed, and Qi Xiaoyang has begun to steam the first retort wine. Taking advantage of the busyness of the two, Xiao Long packed a small bag of fermented raw materials into a small cloth bag, and said hello to Qi Xiaoyang from a distance and left.

Most of the time, more than 1,000 catties of raw materials to take the wine, because this round has the last round of sake lees bottom, the microbial community is also a lot richer, the quality of the wine is higher than the last time, this process is called double round fermentation on the earth, is the top wine-making technology in China, coupled with the water quality rich in aura, this wine has become a unique treasure. Uncle Wallin tasted it and praised Qi Xiaoyang for his cleverness.

Put the new grain into the cellar, one is the last hour of the school year, Qi Xiaoyang borrowed Uncle Wallin's black turtle horse, and sent two jars of wine to Laishui Mansion, and the remaining two and a half jars don't need to be sold on the street at all, as long as the news is released, it is estimated that it will not take half an hour to be robbed by the customers who rushed to the stone house.

Qi Xiaoyang came back from sending the wine, and saw three two-colored turtles and horses parked outside the courtyard gate from a distance, the courtyard gate was wide open, and there were many people around, I thought it was a customer who came to buy wine after getting the news, but he separated the crowd and entered the courtyard, but saw Uncle Wallin pleading with a panicked face to a group of people wearing official uniforms.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Qi Xiaoyang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Xiaoyang, these officials are from the tax collection department in the city, and they want to pay your taxes, you came back just in time, let's talk to them. Uncle Wallin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Xiaoyang coming back, obviously he was facing these tax collectors.

"Child, you are the owner of this workshop, and what is your name?" The leading tax collector was a middle-aged and handsome man in his forties, with a beardless face, a pair of thin eyes shining with blue light, and a condescending expression.

Qi Xiaoyang replied without humility or arrogance: "My name is Xiaoyang, because I just started brewing wine and don't know the rules, please forgive a few adults!"

The fine-eyed tax officer took out the identity jade plate from his waist and said: "I am Ji Jilu, the head of the Liquor Section of the Tax Collection Department, do you know how to punish a private brewery without registration?"

Qi Xiaoyang didn't want to have a conflict with the government, so he said carefully: "I'm sorry Lord Ji, I don't understand the rules, please be lenient once, what procedures should be redone, I will make up for it, and the taxes that should be paid will also be paid according to the regulations." ”

"Listen, according to the rules, if you run a private winery, you should have all the things confiscated and fined 5,000 to 10,000 gold, for the sake of you are still a child, forget about everything else, and all the wine that has been brewed will be confiscated, and you will register with the tax collection department before the next hour, and then hand over 500 catties of high-grade feather flower wine as a tax every month. Ji Jilu waved his hand to the others: "Remove all the wine!"

"You dare!" Qi Xiaoyang felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, he had worked so hard for so long, and he was about to be snatched away by someone, where could he still control his anger, and stopped a few people in a flash: "Lord Ji, Laishui is a place where the law is preached, how can you be so nonsense? I didn't register because I was wrong, but please come up with the provisions, I admit how to punish me, you want to rob me of my wine, don't think about it!"

The lively crowd on the side sounded a buzzing discussion, everyone couldn't imagine that Qi Xiaoyang, a child, was so bold and dared to collide head-on with the people of the tax collection department, Uncle Valin was even more frightened, his face was sallow, and he rushed over and pulled Qi Xiaoyang and whispered: "Xiaoyang, don't be impulsive, how can we resist the government, bear with them and let them take it, let's register and brew again!"

Ji Jilu looked at Qi Xiaoyang and sneered: "Little Yellow guy, you are really bold, dare to tell me the law! Okay, I will do it according to the law." Come on, put everything you can take on the horse, and smash everything you can't take away!"

Seeing five or six people from the tax collection department rushing into the shed like a group of vicious wolves, Qi Xiaoyang saw that they didn't go to the other things, but went straight to the jars containing wine, obviously confiscating other things was fake, and robbing the wine was real! At this moment, he really wanted to release a Lingyuan big knife to split these robbers into several pieces, but knowing the consequences of doing that, he couldn't stay in Laishui anymore, and if he couldn't escape, he would have to give away his life, but he was not willing to watch his things being robbed like this!

There were several stone benches next to the stone table in front of Qi Xiaoyang, Qi Xiaoyang kicked one by one, and three stone benches flew out one after another, and the guys carrying the wine jar saw three black lights, bang three times in a row, the three wine jars were all smashed, and the wine of the white flowers flowed to the ground, and also splashed those people, and the rich aroma of wine suddenly spread in the courtyard.

In the exclamations of the people, Ji Jilu was so angry that his face turned eggplant-colored, Qi Xiaoyang had already known about making good wine here, and waited quietly until now, the purpose was these jars of fine wine, I thought that Qi Xiaoyang was just a child, and he only had to swallow his anger in the face of their strength, and in the future, he would have to obediently accept his fate by robbing half of his output every month, who knew that this kid didn't buy it at all, and dared to come to such a trick and make a chicken and egg fight!

"Stinky boy, I'll beat you to death!" The furious Ji Jilu swung a big fist and smashed it, Qi Xiaoyang deliberately didn't dodge, let the punch smash on the chest, and with Ji Jilu screaming, he also flew back a few meters in the air, looking completely knocked away, smashed into the dust on the ground.

"Brother Xiaoyang!" Ai Xi was shocked, jumped up and hugged Qi Xiaoyang on the ground, and saw that Qi Xiaoyang was beaten to the ground "fainted", and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Robber, I'll fight with you!" pinched a pair of small pink fists and rushed towards Ji Jilu. Qi Xiaoyang, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, didn't expect the gentle Ai Xi to have such courage, so he didn't dare to pretend anymore, sat up and shouted, "Ai Xi come back quickly!"

Ai Xi stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and helped Qi Xiaoyang and asked anxiously, "Brother Xiaoyang, where are you hurt, does it matter?"

Qi Xiaoyang whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, that guy can't hurt me, this is pretending to show them." After speaking, he amplified his voice and pretended to be in pain: "I was beaten by him and my heart was broken, and I may die, you have to help me go to the mansion to sue him, and let Lord Mian Kun avenge me!"

Ji Jilu was grinning with a headache holding the fist that had broken the bone of his hand, and he was startled when he heard Qi Xiaoyang's words, although Jiuyu Country does not take dark-skinned people seriously, but on the surface, he also talks about the justice of the law, he belongs to the faction of Horashan, if he is really caught by Mian Kun to kill people, he will be 100% used to kill chickens and monkeys, and if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin! Besides, others didn't know about the punch just now, but he himself knew that it was like smashing on an iron plate, although he couldn't understand why this little guy's body was stronger than steel, but he didn't dare to make a move on Qi Xiaoyang anymore.

"Let's go!" Ji Jilu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he reluctantly withdrew from the courtyard with a group of men, and got on the turtle horse and slipped back to the city.

The people from the tax collection department walked away, and the villagers dared to surround and care about Qi Xiaoyang's injury, cursing those bullying guys in a low voice, while helping Qi Xiaoyang clean up a messy yard.

Qi Xiaoyang no longer pretended, got up and carried a few stone benches back to the table and placed them. Although the two jars and a half of wine all paid filial piety to the Lord of the Land, they didn't let Ji Jilu and his gang get a drop of wine, which made him feel angry and happy. "Ai Xi, you are really bold, that Ji Jilu is a much stronger guy than you, isn't it asking for trouble to fight with him? Don't do such stupid things in the future!"

"Whoever dares to hit you, I will fight with whoever I want, and if I can't fight, I will bite him a few times!" Ai Xi showed a determined gaze in his eyes, and he had a fearless demeanor, which made Qi Xiaoyang feel deeper worries when he saw the other side of this girl's personality.

After the neighbors dispersed one after another, Qi Xiaoyang discussed with Uncle Valin and asked him to temporarily move here to guard the cellar, because Qi Xiaoyang and Ai Xi were going to report to the martial arts school next hour, and the feather flower wine here had already aroused the covetousness of many people, especially Liehan next to him had already had green eyes, and he had to guard against these thieves who tried to steal technology or wine.

Seeing that Uncle Valin agreed, Qi Xiaoyang instructed: "If you encounter someone as strong as today, uncle, don't conflict with them, just wait for me to come back and tell me who it is, here is five hundred gold, you take it first, and I will give you five hundred gold from the profits of brewing every month in the future." ”

"No, you give too much, other workshop masters only have two hundred gold in wages, you can give me a hundred a month!" Uncle Valin took only one note and pushed the rest back.

"Uncle, just take it, I just need to go and register, it's easy to make money in the future!" Qi Xiaoyang couldn't help but stuff a few large bills of one hundred gold into Valin's pocket.
