Chapter 5 Women and Heroes 5

This medicine house is the place where Zhao Yanhuan and Zhao Hua'er accompanied Li Qing to collect medicine and come back after the weather was warm, and initially processed the medicinal materials.

But now there are seven or eight copper distillation pots at work in the medicine house, and a strong smell of wine fills everywhere.

In the medicine house, Zhao Yanhuan's uncle Zhao Yibao took several villagers to look at the distillation pot and distilled the ordinary liquor with a very low degree repeatedly.

The distillation time was too long, and the medicine house was full of alcohol, so in order to avoid being drunk, Zhao Yibao and others wore thick masks to block the wine.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing, Zhao Yibao directly picked up a small wine jar, handed it to her, and said, "This is a wine that has been distilled several times, can you see if it is the alcohol you said?" ”

Zhao Yanhuan pulled out the lid, sniffed it, the smell rushed to his nose, and he licked it, and his spicy tongue hurt for a long time.

He gave the wine jar to Li Qing again, and Li Qing also sniffed it: "I can't determine the degree, but this wine is definitely close to the quality of alcohol." ”

Zhao Yanhuan nodded, and said to Zhao Yibao: "It's already qualified, it's hard work, how much do you get out in total?" ”

Zhao Yibao pointed to a row of more than a dozen wine jars standing in the corner: "Where are they, do you see enough?" ”

Zhao Yanhuan looked at the row of half-person-high wine jars and smiled: "Enough, next, I have to trouble the uncle to bring people to make special marks for these alcohols, make them more obscure, don't let people see them, and send them to the wine cellar." ”

Zhao Yibao patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry." ”

Leaving from the medicine house, Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing went home, and on the other side, Wang Erdi, who successfully broke into Qipai Village, was still wandering around the village.

Qipai Village does not prohibit the displaced people who enter to walk around, and when it is time to farm in the spring, Zhao Yanhuan will also arrange land for these displaced people who have no assets, so that the displaced people can farm and support their families.

In addition to being the village chief of Qipai Village, Zhao Yanhuan is also a big landowner, and he has a lot of land under his hands, all of which are purchased by Gai Xiong.

It is with these lands in hand that Zhao Yanhuan has the confidence to accommodate so many displaced people.

Gai Xiong is only a county magistrate from a middle-class family, and he already has such a great ability to protect Zhao Yanhuan, a common man, to develop into a big landlord, and no one dares to pay attention to it.

Other larger families even cover the sky with one hand, and they don't even look at the imperial power in their eyes, and the common people in the world are even more ants.

When Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing returned home, they just in time for Zhao Yicang to run out with a large bag of wheat ears.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing, Zhao Yicang happily shook the burden of wheat ears in his hand at Zhao Yanhuan, and said excitedly: "Yanhuan, I'm going to act......"

The aftermath is still there, and the person has run away.

Zhuang Shi hurriedly shouted behind him: "Yicang, make your favorite roast duck at home, you come back early." ”

After shouting, he saw Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing, and Zhuang immediately said to the two: "You still have a mouthful, I just made two roast ducks with four thighs, and give one to each of you." ”

Li Qing laughed and said, "It seems that our mother and daughter are more blessed than Yicang." ”

Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing entered the kitchen to help Zhuang's serve the food, thinking about Zhao Yibao, who was getting alcohol in the medicine house, and said: "Auntie, leave half of this dish in the pot, it will be hot for the uncle, and the food will be cold when you come back, and it will not be delicious." ”

Zhuang Shi said while holding the bowl: "I have already left him a dish, just on the stove over there, let's eat ours." ”

When Zhao Yanhuan was eating here, Wang Erdi had already chatted with several waves of villagers in the village.

Wang Erdi felt that the villagers in Qipai Village were very enthusiastic, which might be the reason why the homeless people often came to the village, and they were even a little familiar with chatting with him.

However, Wang Erdi didn't think much about it, squatted at the door of the house and chatted a few words before leaving.

didn't know that he only walked on his front foot, and the enthusiastic man on his back foot was pinched by the woman next to him.

"Didn't Hua'er and Luan Hu tell us not to be too enthusiastic when we meet someone to inquire about the news, it looks fake."

"Look at your performance just now, I can't wait to tell him all the news in one go, the acting is so fake, what if he suspects it?"

The man grinned and rubbed the place where the woman was pinched, and complained: "You mother-in-law, you are always so fierce, but I see that the bandit is stupid, and I don't find anything wrong." ”

Wang Erdi, who was said to be stupid, was strolling towards the high wall of Qipai Village at the moment, and the news had almost been investigated, and it was time to go back to the cottage.

However, Wang Erdi thought that he couldn't leave alone, it was too abrupt, and it was best to leave with a group of Qipai Village villagers who were going out, which seemed natural.

As a result, when I reached the exit under the wall, I saw a group of people tearing and pulling around a young man.

The man was still holding a big burden in his hand, and a group of people blocked the exit tightly, and Wang Erdi could only be forced to watch the play.

The group of people in front of them were noisy, and many people were talking together, and it took a messy half of the heavens and the two places to hear what they were saying.

The crowd around the young man was accusing the young man.

"Zhao Yicang, the village chief said that you can't take out the wheat seeds, you put the wheat seeds down."

"Zhao Yicang, are you worthy of the village chief by doing this?"

"Arrest him and see what the village chief does with him!"

Zhao Yicang hugged the burden in his arms tightly and struggled: "You guys are meddling!" ”

"I am the fourth uncle of your village chief, this wheat seed was originally from my family, and I am going to take it as a dowry, even if Yan Huan knows it, he will not blame me, the fourth uncle, and want you to take the mouse here."

A group of people were scuffling and tearing while making noise, and they didn't know who accidentally pulled out the burden in Zhao Yicang's arms during the struggle.

Because of the exertion, the man fell directly to the ground, and the burden was torn apart by the man, and the dry ears of wheat that were left for wheat seeds were scattered on the ground.

A few ears of them happened to fall in front of Wang Erdi, and Wang Erdi's eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the ears of wheat.

Although Wang Erdi was a bandit, before becoming a bandit, he had been a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky for more than 20 years.

He had never seen such a full, long ear of wheat, which was more than twice as long as ordinary wheat.

And such good ears of wheat are not one or two, but the ears of wheat scattered throughout the burden are so good.

Wang Erdi felt that his heart was pounding, he had heard that Zhao Yanhuan was good at farming, because he didn't see the real thing, he didn't feel much.

But now that he saw this real thing, he really felt what Zhao Yanhuan represented.

At this moment, Wang Erdi was unprecedentedly clear, and he was unprecedentedly determined to get Zhao Yanhuan to go to Tiger Leaping Village, with Zhao Yanhuan, he and his eldest brother would no longer have to worry about starvation in the future.
