Chapter 017: Distilled Liquor Success

Ma Shuo decided to buy a small shop in Huangsha City, preferably the kind that included a yard. Because, he found that only here can he sell what he has made.

After learning about the housing prices here, Ma Shuo found that the amount of silver he got from the mountain bandits was about the same.

Without bothering the second owner, Ma Shuo simply asked the shopkeeper to recommend a reliable tooth dealer to him, a middleman who specializes in buying and selling houses. Of course, as a thank you, he gave the shop two hundred copper coins.

After getting the 100 copper coins, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, and directly took Ma Shuo to find Sun Fatzi, a well-known tooth merchant who bought and sold houses nearby. As soon as Sun Fatzi heard that the business came to the door, he naturally welcomed Ma Shuo in with a smile on his face.

Sun Fatzi does have a lot of resources at hand, Ma Shuo just said the request, this guy provided three listings, and gave Ma Shuo a brief introduction. However, for the house, Ma Shuo still decided that seeing is believing, so he asked Sun Fatzi to take him to see it.

Sun Fatzi did not refuse Ma Shuo's request, and immediately got into the carriage and led the way, rushing towards the three houses. The three houses are located at three points, and it is indeed a bit far away if there is no carriage. By the time the three houses were looked at, half a day had passed.

After some weighing, Ma Shuo decided to buy a second house, with a shop in front and a yard in the back, the shop is not big, but the yard is not small. Crucially, the surroundings are nice and hidden. The total price of this house is two hundred and fifty taels, which is within Ma Shuo's affordability.

The two parties signed the contract, and Ma Shuo immediately paid off the money, got the deed that belonged to him, and owned the first property that really belonged to him. Of course, Sun Fatzi also succeeded in getting a middle fee, which was also paid by Ma Shuo, one-tenth of the house price, twenty-five taels.

After buying the house, Ma Shuo's money shrank a lot, leaving only more than sixty taels.

After the house was bought, Ma Shuo took Qi Jing out of the inn, led the two horses, drove the carriage, and went all the way back to his house.

One of the important reasons why Ma Shuo decided to buy this house is that there are special stables inside, which is what Ma Shuo needs most at the moment. Knowing that the house in front of her already belonged to her home, Qi Jing was also excited, and immediately began to clean up, completely in the posture of a hostess.

The first thing to clean up is the back room, and the shop in front is not in a hurry. And when the previous owner moved out, the house was still very clean, so it was not difficult to clean up, and it took about a day.

When Qi Jing was tidying up, Ma Shuo went out to buy some daily necessities. In this way, at night, the two of them can already eat and live here, and there will be no problem with basic living problems.

The next day, Ma Shuo first went to the blacksmith shop to retrieve the custom-made distillation equipment. Not to mention, the craftsmanship of this blacksmith shop is still good, although the appearance does not fully meet Ma Shuo's requirements, but there is no problem in terms of air tightness.

After returning from the blacksmith's shop, Ma Shuo went to the trading area again and bought a batch of low-alcohol wine. Then, another batch of coal was bought, as well as some related things.

After returning, Ma Shuo began to get busy in the yard.

After some tossing, Ma Shuo finally began to light the fire and heat up. Ma Shuo's purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to use these low-alcohol liquors to distill to obtain high-strength liquor, and if possible, it is best to get some alcohol out. The alcohol was for Mark, because Mark was at the border, and he would inevitably get hurt or something. Once injured, disinfecting with alcohol can greatly reduce the risk of infection.

As for the high wine, that is the means that Ma Shuo is going to use to make money.

With the existence of fusion memories, Ma Shuo quickly harvested the first batch of distilled high-grade liquor, and when the liquor flowed out of the outlet of the distillation equipment, the unique aroma of liquor immediately spread in the small courtyard.

"What kind of wine is this, why is it so fragrant!" The aroma of this wine immediately attracted Qi Jing, a violent woman who was a gatekeeper. Obviously, this Jiangmen woman is still very familiar with such things as wine. So, as soon as she smelled it, she immediately sensed it.

"Taste it?" Ma Shuo took out a small cup and handed it to Qi Jing.

"Good!" Qi Jing didn't refuse, he took it directly, raised his neck and swallowed it in one bite.

Ahem, ahem!

Seeing that Qi Jing was so fierce, before Ma Shuo could stop him, this guy was already coughing. In fact, no matter who it is, it will not be easy to drink such a large sip of spirits. The glass of wine that Qi Jing had just swallowed had actually reached more than forty degrees, much stronger than any wine she had ever seen before. So, as soon as she took her mouth, the heat stimulated her to squirt out most of it. At the same time, Qi Jing felt a line of fire enter her stomach, and it boomed, as if it was burning.

Soon, however, a warm sensation began in the stomach and spread throughout the body, and the whole person was very comfortable.

"Good wine, I've never drunk such good wine!" Qi Jing's little face flushed, and she couldn't help but sigh. After a glass of wine, the girl's true nature was revealed. Of course, this is also related to her contact with Ma Shuo during this time, and the contact with Ma Shuo during this time gradually calmed Qi Jing's heart, and that confidence in life gradually recovered.

Originally, from the moment she became the daughter of the criminal officer, Qi Jing lost hope for the future, and there was only dead silence and dazedness in her eyes. From the daughter of the general, to the daughter of the criminal official, to the wife of the border people, Qi Jing almost accepted his fate.

However, fate preferred to play a joke on her, and as soon as she appeared, Ma Shuo, who had been in a coma for five years, actually woke up. Then, Ma Shuo began to get along with her in a way that Qi Jing had not thought of at all.

Although it was only a little more than a month, Ma Shuo's way still quietly affected Qi Jing, changed Qi Jing's mood, and the seeds of hope quietly germinated in Qi Jing's heart.

"How? If this kind of wine is taken out and sold, will there be a market? Ma Shuo didn't explain what the wine was about, but asked Qi Jing another question.

"It's not that there is no market, but that there is too much! I'm afraid that when the time comes, people outside will go crazy and rush to buy such wine! Qi Jing said with great certainty.

"Oh! If that's the case, then I have to think about it, how to deal with this matter, I must be cautious! If you are guilty, a good thing will become a bad thing. Ma Shuo pinched his chin and began to think. He had to worry about some problems because his foundation was too shallow.
