Chapter 47 The fine Chai Xiaogui
Song Ren, who returned home, quickly found a pen and paper and copied down his memories of winemaking in the carriage.
The county lord made such a fuss that he almost forgot about the most important thing.
As for the county lord's last howl, Song Ren actually heard it, but he didn't take it seriously.
In his eyes, it was just a bullying daughter, especially the sneak attack behind the back made Song Ren sneer, but Zhu Yuanyuan's attitude of admitting her mistake was acceptable, and she took the initiative to take the blame and said that it was a misunderstanding.
As for whether this county lord will settle accounts after the autumn, Song Ren is not worried, anyway, Yu Guang is carrying it, if Yu Guang can't carry it, it is a big deal to give Su Mo out, anyway, it is not him who shows the blade.
Su Mo, who would be sold at any time, was watching Song Ren write and draw on the paper, drawing patterns that he had never seen before, and couldn't help but be a little curious, although he couldn't read it, there was a wine word in it, and he recognized it.
It's a little embarrassing to say, the Taoist disciple uses a sword master and looks beautiful, Su Daxia, who doesn't know a few big characters.
Looking at Song Ren with a serious face, Su Mo blinked and said very suspiciously, "You really plan to make wine?" ”
Song Ren didn't raise his head, "This is the second time you asked." ”
"But you weren't an official at that time, and now that you have an official body, why do you still want to make wine?"
Su Mo knew that Song Ren had become an official, because when he was conferred an official, he stayed outside the window and heard the content of the conversation.
Song Ren stopped his pen and said with a smile: "Being an official and brewing wine are not in conflict, right?" ”
"But being an official doesn't mean that you have to do things, how can you have so much time to make wine, although I don't know much about this winemaking, but I also know a little bit about it, but it's much more troublesome than making tea."
"yes."
Speaking of this, Song Ren's brows couldn't help frowning, "Winemaking also needs a professional brewing master to operate, I only know theoretical knowledge, but I don't have practical experience at all, but the brewing masters in the county are all covered by Chai and Cheng, where can I recruit people." ”
When Su Mo heard this, he was happy, he sat down, "Coincidentally, I happen to know a master of winemaking, this person is my best friend before entering the Daomen, I can find him to come to help you, but there is a condition, after the wine is brewed, you have to let me taste it first, if I like it, you have to give me wine all the time." ”
Song Ren thought about it, nodded and said, "Deal!" ”
Su Mo was afraid that Song Ren would regret it, so he added, "A gentleman's word." ”
"Lie to your mother!"
"Done!"
Su Mo stretched out his hand and stretched it out in front of Song Ren.
"What for?"
"Give money, that person lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests of Songjiang Mansion, hundreds of miles away, back and forth for at least two days, it doesn't cost to eat, live, buy wine, hire horses to buy wine, I hire someone for you, shouldn't you pay this money?"
Song Ren rolled his eyes, you have said twice to buy wine, and it would be good to just say that you want to buy wine.
However, he still took out fifty taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Su Mo, he may not have anything else, but the money is the most lacking.
After giving the money, Song Ren still asked, "Are you a friend, reliable?" ”
Su Mole put away the silver ticket, this is the first time he has so many silver taels on his body in his life, and he is already thinking about how much wine he will buy and drink later, thinking that when he came down from the Daomen, he was penniless, and in order to make up the money for the wine, he went to the street to perform, that was the pain in his heart, who knew that he would be extinguished.
"Don't worry, my approved brewmaster, that must be reliable!"
"But..."Su Mo said with some concern, "If I leave, what should you do?" After all, if you offend the county lord, aren't you afraid that the group of soldiers will trouble you in private? ”
To be honest, Su Mo is really a little worried, Song Ren is the most unlucky person he has ever seen, from the first time they met to the present, someone has trouble him every three or five times, and each identity is not ordinary, either the prefect or the county lord, to be honest, hundreds of assassins suddenly appeared in the next second and stabbed Song Ren into a honeycomb, he was not surprised at all.
Song Ren was moved, really moved, he and Su Mo had not been in contact for a long time, and even started to communicate in the past two days, they had never said a word to each other before, and he was really moved to be so worried about the other party.
He rarely trusted others wholeheartedly, and after coming to the Ming Dynasty, except for Song Wu, Su Mo was the person he trusted the most.
Although Su Mo's way of coming is mysterious, if this person had murderous intentions towards himself, with his strength, he would have slashed it with a sword a long time ago, and it would not be so complicated at all.
A person doesn't want your life, nor does he want your money, so what is the picture? How could two big old men be, uh, should be... Impossible, right?
Looking at Su Mo's narrow phoenix eyes and bewitching appearance, Song Ren swallowed his saliva, "You... Do you have a daughter-in-law? ”
Su Mo had a big question mark on his head, he didn't understand how to talk about this in a good manner, but he still shook his head and said: "No, although the Dao Sect does not stipulate that disciples cannot marry, but I am not interested in these things at the moment, and suddenly asked what is this for?" ”
Song Ren was not at ease with this answer, and pointed to himself and said, "I, who has a daughter-in-law, you know, right?" ”
Su Mo's expression when he heard this was like this.
ఠ_ఠ?
What do you mean? Show affection, huh?
He was a little upset and said, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
Song Ren smiled, "Uh, you saw that you suddenly appeared, and then protected me, and have been protecting me until now, but I don't know where you came from, but you are worried about my safety everywhere, neither for fame nor for profit, so what, why don't I take a bath when I'm old?" Although I admit that I am a little handsome, and I admit that you are good-looking, I am straighter, straighter than your sword, and I don't like men's ......"
Sumo: ఠ_ఠ???
He finally understood why so many people wanted to kill Song Ren, and now he wanted to draw his sword and grab it a few times.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mo gritted his teeth and said, "I protect you, it's the master's order, as for worrying about you, I'm afraid that you won't have any wine to drink when you die!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that Shizun had specially explained it when he went down the mountain, he couldn't tell Song Ren about the Tianqi Tu, Su Mo couldn't wait to tell the truth of the matter immediately, it was really girly.
"Oh, I see, then I'm relieved."
Song Ren touched his chest and showed a smiling face, as for the master's order, it was still that sentence, Su Mo didn't want to mention it, so he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
After all, everyone has their own little secrets that they don't want others to know, as long as you make sure that the other party has no ill intentions towards you, it is enough.
"I really regret taking this errand, if it weren't for the fight... Forget it, I'm going to set off, I've been with you for a long time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but cut you. ”
"Eh, don't go yet."
"What are you going to do?"
"Before you leave, accompany me to a place to see someone, this thing has to be done before you leave, and when you leave, I will lock myself up at home and not go anywhere."
......
Beishan Tea Villa, a busy scene, was also busy before, but the faces of the tea workers were not as good as they are now, with smiles and eyes full of hope.
Before, they were like monks ringing the bell, doing the work they should do, receiving the wages they deserved, like puppets, putting on a bitter gourd face, and their eyes were gloomy.
But since the owner came, everything has changed.
First of all, the time of work has changed, originally they have to work since the morning sun, until the evening time, except for the meal time almost no rest, but the owner has formulated a unified work time, Chen Shi unified in the general manager of the roll call report, and then do the unitary time, and then report again to rest, if you have nothing to do and want to work, what overtime pay will be subsidized.
In addition, in the past, it was two meals a day, breakfast and lunch, but now it is three meals a day, and it is also the tea house's housekeeper.
The working hours have been reduced, and the food has increased without having to spend their own money, so it stands to reason that the daily wages of such a good treatment will be deducted, but the owner not only did not, but instead gave them a wage increase, which is the most important thing.
In addition, in the past, they worked just to make a living, but now the sales of loose tea are becoming more and more prosperous, and almost all the residents of Jiangdu County have tea produced by Beishan Tea House at home, and this sense of pride makes them feel that they are energetic in their work.
Wang Richun found that although the owner required the tea workers to combine work and rest, these people now work more time every day than before, and they don't feel tired at all, and hate to have to work for the owner.
It is no exaggeration to say that Song Ren's status is now much higher than that of the county magistrate in the eyes of the tea plantation workers, and he is almost in awe of him as a bodhisattva.
Song Ren came to the tea house accompanied by Su Mo, and when the busy tea workers saw it, they stopped what they were doing and saluted Song Ren, and even some of the workers who were picking tea in the back mountain hurriedly ran over to take a look when they learned that the owner was coming.
Song Ren greeted the employees with a smile, quite like the chairman inspecting the branch.
"Thank you for your hard work, the reputation of Beishan Tea House is inseparable from everyone's efforts, in order to let the people of the Ming Dynasty drink loose tea, we have to work harder."
Song Ren inspired the tea workers with the gentlest voice, so much so that they all roared with their necks held high as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"No problem, host!"
"I'll sleep for two hours, and I'll work when I wake up!"
"I don't sleep at the host!"
In an almost frantic cry, Song Ren nodded and smiled as he walked towards the room where Chai Xiaogui was being held.
He came to the tea house on purpose, in fact, to find Chai Xiaogui.
For this rich second generation who hired someone to kill him, Song Ren's psychology is actually very complicated.
At first, he hated it, so he made a drop of water to torture the other party's spirit as a means of revenge, and then because there were too many things, he forgot about it.
As a result, Chai Xiaogui was in the dark room, and he was dripping on his forehead for two days and one night.
If it weren't for Wang Richun saying that this guy might have been made crazy, Song Ren wouldn't have remembered this incident.
Outside, there was no one guarding the house, and the door was tied with hemp rope from the outside, and the people inside wanted to come out unless they could dig a hole.
As soon as he opened the door, a foul smell wafted out, Song Ren covered his nose and walked in, Su Mo didn't want to follow up, but he was afraid that Chai Xiaogui, who was crazy, would make any unfavorable moves, so he could only walk in.
The originally dim room was lit up the moment the door opened, and the dirty Chai Xiaogui was curled up in the corner at the moment, crying and laughing.
In just a few days, this Chai family brother has lost a lot of weight, and his hair is scattered.
When he saw Song Ren walking in, his face was first dull, and then he shouted with a frightened look: "Don't come here!" ”
But then, his gaze became a little dull again, and then he cried, "Please let me go, I'll give you silver, lots and lots of silver." ”
"Hmph, that kind of torture is not afraid, how can the water drip through the head, joke!"
"Woo woo, I have a hole in my head, Dad, help me......"
Looking at Chai Xiaogui, who was completely schizophrenic, Song Ren showed a suspicious expression, he didn't know if this guy was really crazy or pretending.
Touching his nose, Song Ren showed his harmless smile, "Chai Xiaogui, if I let you go, will you go to the government to denounce me?" ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to let himself go, a trace of clarity flashed in Chai Xiaogui's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a confused look, and he shrank his body even more, "You... Will you really let me go? ”
"Hahaha! Song Ren, don't deceive the master, the master is familiar with the art of war, your great mercy and compassion are useless to the master, hehe, I won't fall for you again! ”
Song Ren was amused, he didn't bother to care whether this guy was really crazy or not, and said indifferently: "Your father Chai Dafu has been released by the yamen, and he is recuperating in the house, and it will be useless for me to lock you up again, you can go, but remember to bring a word to your father for me, I also want to make wine, your Chai family can do it yourself." ”
Leaving this sentence, ignoring the crying and laughing behind him, Song Ren left directly.
Looking at the open door, after a long while, Chai Xiaogui ran out with a roll, shouting as he ran.
"Hahaha, Song Ren of the dog day, he was deceived by this young master's scheme, the young master is talented, how can he be stupid!"
Suddenly, he stopped and slapped himself hard, "Shhh ”
