Wang Nian's matter was quickly put behind the two of them, after all, she was not a child anymore, and they were not her family, so they couldn't control her affairs.

Recently, Lin He was teaching the king's steward to filter wine.

On the day they came, the steward of the king brought back two jars, and twenty of them had tasted them, and they were very energetic in their work.

The wine sent to the capital for Jinrong has already set off.

Originally, it was said that ten altars would be sent, but later I learned from the mouth of the king steward that there was a waterway from Nanzhi County to the capital, which could save half of the time.

So the original ten jars of wine finally became a hundred jars of wine, and now it is set off, just before the New Year.

This is a rare opportunity to make a lot of money, and there is still a lot of wine left, and in the past, it has been exported in large quantities during these months.

Nanzhi County and nearby counties, even if the wine can be sold, the price cannot be raised, and it is the most suitable to send it to the capital.

Rich people's money, if you don't make it, you can't earn it in vain.

The only thing that surprised Lin He was that Li Changhui didn't know about the waterway.

In other words, he knew that there was water transportation in the Da'an Dynasty, but he didn't know that there was also a waterway from Nanzhi County to the capital.

In other words, if they go to the capital, it doesn't take as long as three months, and if they are lucky, it will be a month and a half, and if they are slow, it will be two months at most.

This was said by the king's steward himself.

This can be described as a great comfort to Lin He!

But that's all for next year, and the most important thing now is to make this year's wine.

The front door of the Li family is closed at any time, and a basket of grapes is placed at the back door, and this year, the grape pickers cannot enter the courtyard, but directly at the back door.

The back door is also closed most of the time, only when there are more grapes, and then the king's steward moves in, washes them themselves, dries them, and then makes wine.

In this way, the secrets of the wine can be discovered as much as possible.

At this time, the first batch of the first round of seven-day fermentation has ended, and Lin He wants to teach them to filter all the dregs, then seal and store them for half a month, and then filter them for the second time.

During this time, the remaining grapes are also churned daily to allow them to ferment sufficiently.

If they were skeptical on the first day, when they stirred the grapes on the second and third days and smelled the wine, no one doubted it, and they were even looking forward to it, expecting their own wine.

After nearly a month of busyness, the temperature began to drop, and the day felt a little cooler, but the grapes finally ripened and the yard was full of wine.

At this time, there was no longer a need for so many people to stay here every day, so Steward Wang took people and began to follow Li Changhui to deliver wine.

Unexpectedly, among these people, there are also those who are good at disguise, and they can directly replace Li Changhui's identity and continue to trade with those people for a few months as Hu Ren.

After the wine was finished, Lin He taught these people the skills of grapevine cuttings. This shocked everyone again.

Maybe it's not unbelievable, but these people brought by the king obviously don't care about how the grapes grow on weekdays, so they are so surprised.

While everyone was trimming the note, Lin He found the Wang steward.

"Steward Wang, you tell me the truth, will these people all go to their own side and plant grapes elsewhere?"

The focus is not on growing grapes, but on winemaking.

After this short period of observation, Lin He was already very sure that these people were not like people who were simply working, they were of the same age and had all read.

Steward Wang would often tell them about business and teach them some things about dealing with people when they were making wine.

It is not so much an entourage who came to work as an apprentice of the king's shopkeeper.

That's why Lin He asked.

Steward Wang hesitated for a moment, and then nodded generously: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Li, the master does have this meaning, and he also told the people below to collect more grape saplings." ”

"Well, I guess so."

Lin He looked at the grape branches all over the ground: "I don't dare to say anything else, but these grapes, these I plant here, are definitely better than what you harvest outside, even if they are seedlings that survive from cuttings." ”

Steward Wang suddenly perked up: "What does Mrs. Li mean?" ”

Lin He didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "You ask people to cut more grape branches, I'll find someone to clean up a vacant land and cut some more seedlings, and when it comes to winter next year, you can directly use this seedling to transplant it to another place." ”

Transplanting after winter, as long as it is well preserved, there is no fear of the seedlings dying after a month's journey.

The king's steward was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

As he spoke, he looked around, beckoned to a person, who hurriedly came over, and the king's steward explained this and that, and the man was quickly busy.

Lin He nodded secretly, no matter what these people do, they are very obedient, they are very serious in learning anything, and they don't complain, only one of them works hard.

Thinking like this, Lin He suddenly asked about another thing: "Steward Wang is going to stay in Nanzhi County next?" ”

Steward Wang did not hide it: "That's true, the master takes a special fancy to this place, and she is not at ease when it is handed over to others, so she let Wang personally guard here." ”

Lin He's eyebrows twitched, she knew that Jin Rong's identity was not ordinary, but every time she heard that Steward Wang was a master, she still felt a little strange reflexively.

But this is someone else's business, and she can't care about it.

"It turns out that the king's steward is so honorably trusted."

Lin He couldn't get used to hearing Steward Wang's mouthful and one master, and Steward Wang also felt that it was a little inappropriate for Lin He to call him 'Jinrong'.

However, both of them politely did not say it, but secretly felt awkward in their hearts.

Then Lin He's voice changed: "The third child of our family has always liked to do business, and when he was seven or eight years old, he began to learn to read the account books, but unfortunately none of our family can do business." ”

Lin He's words were very straightforward, how could the king not hear it.

immediately said bluntly: "If Mrs. Li doesn't dislike it, why don't you let the little boy follow Wang for a while?" Don't hide it from Mrs. Li, Wang is going to Guanzhou Mansion to discuss business in a few days, and he will stay for about a month. ”

Stay for a month, go for half a month, and go back and forth for a month and a half.

Lin He hesitated, she had never let the children out for so long.

But she didn't refuse in a hurry: "Then I'll go back and discuss with them." ”

She had to ask Li Changhui if she could hand over An'er to Steward Wang and take her out for that long.

As for academics, she is not worried, An'er has no idea about the entrance examination at all, as long as she can read and read and be sensible. (End of chapter)
