Chapter 173: I'm Too Hard
Civil and military officials, greeted at the city gate, and held a banquet in the palace?
Several times all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the people who have this glory, I am afraid that only Xu Da, the Duke of Wei!
Lan Bin sighed in his heart, but hesitated on his face: "Cousin, Wei Guogong has just returned to Beijing, so it's not appropriate to treat him, right?"
"Although it is not in line with the etiquette, the carbuncle is not a minor disease, so you can see it early and feel at ease!" Zhu Biao waved his hand.
Lan Bin probably understood Zhu Biao's thoughts, and didn't say much: "Got it, cousin!"
"Well, stand down!" Zhu Biao nodded.
"Cousin, retire!"
Lan Bin saluted, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and stopped and asked, "Cousin, on the day Wei Guogong returns to Beijing, am I going to the city gate to greet me?"
"You don't have enough grades, you don't have to go!" Zhu Biao shook his head.
"Farewell!"
Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling offended, and after clenching his fists, he turned to leave.
After returning from the East Palace, Lan Bin went to check the distillers used for brewing, the copper needles for stitching, the sheep intestines and other equipment prepared by the craftsmen in the house, and made sure that they were correct.
Summoned Thursday: "On Thursday, you will take someone to the storehouse and carry fifty jars of my father's wine to my laboratory!"
Originally, he planned to make his own wine, and then distill and purify it to make a sterilized and sterilized high-strength liquor, and alcohol.
However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and he had limited time, so he could only abandon the wine-making process and directly use the brewed liquor for secondary distillation and purification.
Although the degree of brewed liquor is not high, only about thirty or forty degrees, but starting from distillation, it can still be purified to produce high-grade liquor.
Just doing that, it's a bit of a waste of wine.
In particular, the storage wine of blue jade is some good wine.
"Young Master, you areβ" Thursday wondered.
Lan Bin didn't want to explain, so he glared and said, "Talk, go quickly!"
"Yes, young master!" Even though he was puzzled on Thursday, he didn't ask too much and took someone to move the wine.
And Lan Bin took the craftsmen in the house to take the stills and other things he built to the backyard, in the small courtyard of his laboratory.
Soon after arriving at the small courtyard, Thursday brought people to the small courtyard with wine and piled it on the ground.
When Lan Bin saw that the wine was coming, he began to direct his subordinates to pour the wine into the still, distill it, and purify it.
Soon, there was a strong aroma of wine in the small courtyard.
Thursday is a good wine person, smelling the rich aroma of wine in the air, his eyes lit up and said, "Young master, this wine is so fragrant!" Can you let me take a sip?"
"Okay! As long as you are not afraid of death, you can drink it!" Lan Bin didn't raise his head, staring at the still.
On Thursday, when he heard Lan Bin agree, he was overjoyed, and he was about to ask someone to bring him a bowl. But when he heard Lan Bin's words, he was stunned: "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Literally!" Lan Bin said lightly.
Literally?
Thursday thought about it for a while, and said tentatively, "Young Master, can't you drink this wine?"
"Of course you can't drink it!"
Lan Bin looked up at Thursday and said, "This wine is based on my father's storage of wine, which is distilled and processed twice, and the degree is very high. If you take a sip, it will drink you to death!"
"Can this wine drink the dead?" Thursday didn't remember Lan Bin's other words, so he remembered a sentence that wine can drink dead people, expressing doubts.
He had drunk so much that he had never heard of such a drink that could drink the dead.
In particular, he smelled the aroma of wine in the air, and as soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was good wine.
He suspected that Lan Bin didn't want him to drink it, so he said this on purpose.
Lan Bin smiled and said, "You don't believe it? Why don't you take a sip and try it?"
"This... Forget it!" Thursday was still a little interested and wanted to try it, but seeing Lan Bin's expression, he was a little drumming in his heart.
Lan Bin did not instigate Thursday drinking, but continued to direct his subordinates to distill and purify all the fifty jars of wine.
In a blink of an eye, after repeated distillation and purification of fifty jars of liquor, it became five jars of alcohol.
Inside the jar.
Lan Bin checked it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he asked people to clean up the yard, and asked Thursday to move the purified alcohol to his laboratory and put it.
That night, Lan Yu returned to the house, and pulled Lan Bin to eat and drink together, chatting about the gossip in the Beijing camp. He played martial arts with a certain military general in the sand table, won and so on.
The more Lan Yu spoke, the more energetic he became, the more he drank the wine, and after drinking another bowl of wine, he picked up the wine jar on the table and looked at it, and found that there was no wine, and shouted, "Lan Wu, bring me another jar of wine."
"Dad, you've drunk so much, drink less!" Lan Bin glanced at an empty wine jar on the ground and persuaded.
Lan Yu burped and boasted, "How much alcohol have you drunk now? I can still drink a jar!"
Can you still drink a jar?
Others don't know, I still don't know, you've reached the limit of alcohol, drink two bowls at most, and you'll have to fall.
Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, he was embarrassed to break the blue jade, and seeing that he was in high spirits, he didn't say anything more, anyway, it was just two bowls, and when he finished drinking, he collapsed, and sent him back to his room to rest.
After a moment, Lan Wu hurried to the dining room empty-handed.
Lan Yu saw Lan Wu coming empty-handed, and said unhappily, "Lan Wu, where is my wine!"
"Sir, there's no wine in the house!" Lan Wu subconsciously looked at Lan Bin and hesitated.
Lan Bin, who had just sandwiched a piece of meat, shook his hand and looked at Lan Wu, no, no! Isn't there a lot of liquor in the house? I just moved fifty jars of liquor to distill the alcohol.
Lan Yu didn't drink much tonight, why didn't he drink anything!
Lan Yu burped, glared and said, "Didn't I store dozens of jars of good wine? Where's my wine?"
"Less... It's gone!" Lan Wu just wanted to say that the young master had moved the wine away during the day, but when he saw Lan Bin's glaring eyes, he came to his lips and swallowed it again.
Lan Yu was furious: "I have so much wine, I haven't drunk it yet, why is it gone? Who drank my wine? β¦γ
"Dad, when the wine is gone, I won't drink it. Come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, this is your favorite braised beef, I'll clip it for you!" When Lan Bin saw it, he hurriedly snorted and gave Lan Yu meat very attentively.
Lan Yu looked at Lan Bin's courteous appearance, slightly moved, didn't ask about the wine, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the beef that Lan Bin put in his bowl, and ate it.
While eating, he greeted, "Bin'er, don't patronize me, you can eat too!"
"Got it, Daddy!"
Lan Bin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Lan Yu, and when he turned his head to look at Lan Wu, his smile was put away, and he squeezed his eyebrows vigorously, what are you still stunned for? Don't go out yet!
Lan Wu realized it later, turned around and was about to exit the dining room.
At this moment, Lan Yu's voice sounded: "Slow, Lan Wu, you haven't spoken clearly, where are you going?" Where's my wine! Who drank my wine?"
"This..." Lan Wu stopped, turned around with difficulty, looked at Lan Yu, and then at Lan Bin, on one side is the master, and on the other side is the young master, I am really difficult.
