Chapter 138: Drinks
In the early morning, tiny clouds float in the light blue sky, and the cobwebs in the corners of the walls are stained with dew and sparkle in the morning light.
The funeral the day before yesterday made Gongsun Yan physically and mentally exhausted.
In addition to the physical torture of the tedious funeral, more exhaustion comes from the spirit.
Since coming to Guzhu Manor, various systems and rules, rewards and punishments need to be set up again.
In this era when there are no computers, Gongsun Yan always feels that he is about to break his wrist.
Almost all the major families in western Liaoning sent guests to mourn, and these guests, the subordinates of these guests, clothing, food, housing and transportation, all need to be coordinated and decided.
There are also some memories that suddenly appeared at the funeral, which made her mind confused for a long time.
She stopped all work, planning to let herself rest for a while, and also accompany Gongsun Cheng for a day or two.
At the funeral, the child cried so much that she felt distressed, and after coming to Guzhu, she rarely had time to spend with him.
Take this opportunity to relax.
Before that, though, there's one last thing that needs to be done.
"That's it! Wife. Ah Qing held a polished bronze mirror and stood behind Gongsun Yan.
For convenience, Gongsun Yan has always tied a simple ponytail by herself, and she hasn't asked Ah Qing to comb her hair for a long time.
Today, the skill of combing his hair came in handy again, and Ah Qing was quite happy.
Gongsun Yan straightened his legs without any image, sat in front of the makeup, and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Ah Qing is amazing." Gongsun Yan smiled at himself in the mirror and praised Ah Qing.
The smile on Ah Qing's face suddenly became a little brighter.
"Sister." Gongsun Cheng on the side was like a small glutinous rice dumpling, sticky and hugged Gongsun Yan's neck.
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but hug him, rubbing his chin against his hairy fetus.
"Lady." Alan stood at the door, "Gongsun Taishou has prepared their carriages and horses." ”
"Good!" Gongsun Yan answered, patted Gongsun Cheng, and told him to stand up.
After the funeral, the relatives of the Gongsun Lord's family, the steward sent by the Lord's family, and the mourners from the Taishou Mansion all left today.
As the owner, Gongsun Yan also needs to go to see him off in person.
"Alain, are the gifts ready?" Gongsun Yan stood up and gently smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of his clothes.
In order to wear such a mulberry linen garment, it has been deliberately washed many times in order to wear it, and the result is that it is very easy to tear and wrinkle.
Alain clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen and bowed slightly, "Ready." ”
Guests from all over the world came to Guzhu, and Gongsun Yan would not simply let go of such an opportunity.
In the name of thanks, a lot of gifts were prepared, such as regular grains, preserved leaves, and a small jar of wine.
On that day, the steward Zhou Xing told him that there was a good well in Guzhu that produced high-quality liquor and wine, and Gongsun Yan thought about it.
The construction after that requires a lot of resources.
Human, material, and favor, she all need it.
She didn't want to sell some distilled spirits, but if sweet potatoes became popular, she could consider producing sweet potato shochu and the like.
But now that every grain of grain can save people's lives, and the prohibition has been implemented, she doesn't plan to make a big news about the distilled spirits in her filial piety.
Just because she doesn't sell distilled spirits doesn't mean she has no other options.
Among contemporary literati and scholars, it is popular to scatter five stones.
This kind of health medicine is mostly made of ores such as dansha, realgar, and alum.
Because after taking it, the whole body is hot, the spirit is excited and crazy, and it needs cold food, cold bath, walking, and wearing thin clothes to exude medicinal properties, so it is also called cold food.
This kind of thing was originally a pill for Fang Shi to ask for immortals, and later it was used in small doses to treat typhoid fever, but later it was abused on a large scale and became a rejuvenating medicine used by the Gaomen Shi clan to excite the spirit.
Such a thing is under the guise of dispelling illness and strengthening the body, in the final analysis, it is to raise the sun and help its lust.
Such a thing is popular in the world, and as a person with a strong sense of social responsibility, Gongsun Yan naturally wants to interfere with one or two and do his best.
What are the little blue pills without side effects?
The health care products produced by the system have a strong rejuvenating effect, and the effect is better when swallowed with wine.
Although it cannot strengthen the body, it has no toxic side effects.
Isn't this kind of thing much more than the now popular five-stone scattered conscience?
Gongsun Yan plans to take the high-quality route and use the self-produced liquor in Zhuangzhong as raw materials to concoct a batch of such added wines.
The system suggests that such cooking wine is harmless to the human body.
But Gongsun Yan is a rigorous and conscientious person in the end, so he naturally has to find someone to experiment and then make a decision.
Taking advantage of the fact that her beloved uncle Gongsun Ying was in the manor, she missed such a wine once by negligence.
Theoretically, as an elder brother, the funeral of the younger brother cannot be drunk even if it is sent by mistake.
But the eldest uncle, Gongsun Ying, secretly swallowed the wrong wine into his stomach that night.
Gongsun Yan paid great attention to Gongsun Ying when he was in Lingzhi, knowing that he was inseparable from wine and meat, beauties, and pills all year round.
With his hypocrite's nature, he will certainly not be able to resist the temptation of wine.
Wang Wu, who was secretly observing, came to report that Gongsun Ying drank the wine, because he did not bring a concubine with him, Gongsun Yan transferred the maid in the village in advance, and there was nowhere to vent, so he wandered around the courtyard for most of the night.
The next day, except for two more dark circles under his eyes, there was no sign of vomiting blood and dying.
Gongsun Yan affirmed that the system introduction was indeed not adulterated.
Although I have some regrets in my heart, the safety of this cooking wine has been verified.
On the second day, the depressed Gongsun Ying secretly inquired with Tian Kai and the housekeeper Zhao Xi a few times, and the words were all begging.
Gongsun Ying, who can take Wushisan all year round and regard it as an elegant thing, is so concerned, and the effect of this cooking wine is obviously beyond doubt.
Even Gongsun Yan had secretly written rumors that someone had witnessed stars falling into the brewing well.
After verifying the safety of this kind of cooking wine, Gongsun Yan privately ordered Alan to take the medicine to the winery to concoct a batch, sandwich it in the return gift, and disperse it.
It also comes with a pink paper stick, indicating that drinking is prohibited.
As long as there is a person who understands the benefits of this wine, it is not difficult to find the Lone Bamboo Manor along the line, and it is not difficult to find the story of the star falling into the winemaking well in the manor.
At that time, no matter how much you want, you can't talk about money, only about fate.
And now she asked Alain to prepare another one with a higher alcohol content and more ingredients.
Sincerity is dedicated to her eldest uncle, Gongsun Ying.
Drink it cold, I just hope he doesn't drink it and the wind will blow immediately.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but smile a little, took Gongsun Cheng in one hand, and slowly walked out of the main gate of the courtyard.
Ah Qing Alan and Wang Wu followed.
It's only been a day, and the paper money that was originally scattered all over the courtyard has been cleaned up.
Even the roads were cleared.
Gongsun Yan secretly recorded in his heart that he should give all the stewards and servants and maids some rice, grain, cloth and silk.
Walking to the front yard, I was a little surprised to find that Gongsun Ying had pulled Tian Kai aside and whispered something.
Gongsun Yan looked at his back and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
