After finishing the matter of Liyang Restaurant, Shi Min went to the winery that had been acquired.

The person in charge of this matter is the housekeeper Ma Liu, and now Dong Qiaoqiao and Cui Ying are already pregnant, and the business of the family was originally handed over to them to take care of, but the two daughters are now pot-bellied women, how can Shi Min be willing to let them work around?

"Ma Liu, has the handover of the winery been completed?" Shi Min inspected the wine-making workshop for a while, picked up a spoon, sniffed a spoonful of wine, and asked Ma Liu, who was following beside him.

"Reply to the master's words. Everything has been handed over, and we have spent a total of 5,000 taels of silver in order to acquire this winery. ”

"What? Such a high price? ”

"The old man is angry." Ma Liu saluted again, looked around, and saw that no one was listening, so he leaned in front of Shi Min and whispered, "Master, follow your orders." The little one sent someone to threaten the original owner of this winery, and the old guy was so frightened that he was really convinced! ”

"Sir, don't look at the size of this winery, there are only thirty or fifty craftsmen, but they are all veterans, and if you want to expand the scale, they are ready-made masters. And, sir, the profit of this winery is really terrifying, just in an ordinary month, the profit of the winery is as high as three thousand taels! This is still after deducting labor costs! ”

"Oh. So what was the original estimated value of this winery? ”

"It's about thirty-five thousand taels!"

Hearing this, Shi Min was taken aback and said: "If it is sold so cheaply, the original owner of the winery will definitely not accept it." Ma Liu, can you find out clearly, who is the original owner of this winery? ”

"This ...... It was a small negligence. ”

When Shi Min heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, patted the hat on Ma Liu's head, glared and said, "Stupid! Didn't I tell you to inquire clearly before you started? This Yecheng is the capital, the emperor's relatives, the children of the family and everything are all grabbed! You don't want to offend anyone we can't afford to offend! ”

When Ma Liu heard this, he said with some grievances: "Master, you can be the prince of Changshan County, except for the princes of the king, those royal relatives and relatives, what are the sons of the nobles?" ”

"Go. You asked me about it, and let's see if the original owner of this winery has any background! ”

"Yes!"

After explaining some things clearly at the winery, Shi Min got into the carriage and went to Si Yu Zhonglang's house to Jia Ba's house.

Of course, Shi Min himself prefers to ride horses, after all, he is a martial artist and a majestic general. But it often backfires!

Shi Min can do this, but it's too cheap!

Shi Min is now the captain of the Great Zhao State, one of the Nine Qings, and is a man who has been named the Duke of Changshan County! Shi Min is so high-powered, and he still rides a horse and sways around, doesn't it make people laugh when it spreads?

"Sir, it's here." The groom in the car lifted the curtain and said softly to Shi Min, who was sleeping in the car.

"Hmm."

Shi Min bowed slightly, and then got out of the carriage with the support of the groom.

A dignitary like Shi Min, when he travels, he doesn't say that he beats gongs and drums, rides thousands of times or something, but he also hugs from front to back, and the scenery is not good. But Shi Min behaved very plainly, he didn't like luxury, and when others brought enough family members and maids, and traveled as lively as getting married, Shi Min was still light and simple.

Let's get off the carriage like this.

The senior officials of other families all have special servants kneeling on the ground, bending over, and stepping off the carriage for the senior officials like pigs and dogs. And Shi Min just needed to be supported, or even jumped out of the carriage directly.

In Shi Min's view, true dignity does not depend on belittling others and then elevating one's own behavior. It's obviously a very simple thing, but why do you have to make it so complicated and make so much red tape?

Shi Min traveled, naturally it was impossible to bring only one groom, no, there was a team of guards behind him. Like Mulan, Wentai, Chen Changsheng, and Evil Lai, they all followed behind, a total of eight guards.

Although knocking on the door is a matter of effort, it is still not necessary for Shi Min to go out in person.

No, as soon as he got off the horse, he ran up the steps of someone's house and knocked on the door.

Taking advantage of this time, Shi Min deliberately observed the scale of Jia Ba's mansion.

Well, in the entire Yecheng, it can be regarded as a mansion of the middle and lower scale, and Jia Ba's official position is just a small Si Yu Zhonglang general, which is far from his own captain and county prince, but the scale of this mansion is not small, slightly larger than his own mansion, no wonder Shi Hu will be nosy, and he must build a new mansion for Shi Min.

After a while, one of the servants ran out and opened the door.

Seeing the ugly man's face, the family was startled, and then leaned on the door panel, and said tremblingly: "You...... What are you? ”

"Oh, don't be afraid, little brother."

Shi Min is still polite to such subordinates.

Shi Min said: "This is my personal guard, not a strong man." ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm Shi Min. If you want to visit your lord, I'm bothering you to spread the word. ”

"This ......," said the servant with a look of embarrassment, "My lord, our master is not something that ordinary people can see. ”

"Hey!"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Changsheng, who was next to him, had a violent temper, and the boss was unhappy, and shouted: "I said that you little guy has no eyesight!" Haven't even my adults heard of it? My lord is a captain of the imperial guard! Ranked in Jiuqing, the Changshan County Duke who was awarded not long ago! You're really blind! ”

"Immortal, don't be rude!"

As soon as I heard the identity of the man in gorgeous clothes in front of me, he was the captain of the court guard, Shi Min, the prince of Changshan County, and the servant who didn't know Taishan suddenly made a joke and said, "My lord, wait a minute, the villain will go in and pass on the master." ”

"Go ahead."

When the servant left, Chen Changsheng said angrily: "This Jia Ba is such a big shelf!" However, a mere Si Yu Zhonglang general, his domestic slave dares to be so arrogant? ”

"Immortality, Hugh is rude."

"General, my subordinates are just angry. What kind of character is he? It's just a Si Yu Zhonglang general, a person who is skilled in craftsmen, how dare he do this? ”

"Lord Jia Ba is a well-known car maker, a rare capable person in the world, presumably immersed in the craftsmen on weekdays, neglecting the discipline of his subordinates. Now I come to visit you because I have a request......"

As soon as Shi Min's words fell, he only heard a shout.

"Lord Gun! Lord Gun! ......"Before the person arrives, the word comes first."

Shi Min raised his eyes and saw a big man with a bearded face, a burly body, and a heroic man rushing out of the mansion. This big man looked quite awkward in a gorgeous dress that didn't match very well.

Shi Min and Jia Ba were officials in the same dynasty, so they knew each other, although they were not friends, but they were also acquaintances, and they were just nodding friends.

"Lord Jiaba." Shi Min saluted.

Jia Ba is from the Qianren family, although he was born in Hulu, but he has always liked Confucianism, so his "sinicization" has been very serious, in addition to skin color and eyes, basically from his words and deeds, some characteristics of the Han people can be seen.

"The county prince is here, it's really a disappointment, a disappointment!"

Jia Ba bowed down and saluted Shi Min back.

"Lord Jia Ba is polite."

"I don't know what the county lord is doing when he comes to visit this time?"

"It's a long story."

"Oh, but the lower officials were negligent. Lord Gun, please come in! ”

Shi Min was invited by Jia Ba to the living room and sat down. Jia Ba also personally made a pot of tea for Shi Min and filled it himself.

"Lord Jia Ba, I have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace. I can't hide it, this visit to your mansion is because I want to ask you for something. ”

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Shi Min then took out a drawing from his arms, put it on the table, pointed to the pattern on the drawing, and said, "Lord Jia Ba, I want to ask you to help me build such a set of utensils." ”

When Jia Ba heard this, he didn't directly pat his chest and agree, but carefully looked at the drawing that Shi Min put on the table, frowning slightly.

After a while, Jia Ba bowed his head and said, "Lord Jungong, if the lower officials guessed correctly, this should be a set of wine-making utensils, right?" ”

"Exactly. How is it? Lord Jia Ba, can you build it? ”

"With such a detailed drawing, it was not difficult to create a barware. Lord Jungong, I, Jia Ba, have been immersed in craftsmen for more than 20 years, and I have created countless things, and there are many wine-making utensils like this, but I have never seen such utensils, isn't there any mystery in it? Jia Ba was very curious about this.

"Hahahaha, Lord Jia Ba is really as wise as a torch, and he can see the extraordinary at a glance."

Shi Min praised Jia Ba, and said: "It's not a secret, the wine made by my set of wine-making equipment is indeed extraordinary. At least I've heard of the distillation method, which will make this wine more mellow and intense than ordinary wine, and it will make people have an endless aftertaste! ”

"Good. If that's the case, then the lower officials must taste the wine made by this new set of utensils you used, Lord Jungong! ”
