Chapter 164: Wheat Beer (Fifth Update)

"It's still hot after Fushi, and it's even more stuffy today, so it's going to rain."

The lieutenant led everyone to the four treasures shop opposite, which was the same width as the grocery store.

After entering, the back area was empty, there were no other buildings, but the area was larger than that of a grocery store.

"There were pillars, but they took them down, and they saw that the ground was filled with earth."

Xiaocao knew that he could see the opposite side when he guarded the store.

Many things were removed from it, including screens, slates, wood, tables, and ......

All that remained was a row of empty houses in front of them, and the paper on the windows was intact and undamaged.

"Sure enough, it's King Qin's shop, even if you sell a study, the four treasures are more spacious than this, the depth is long, and it's ...... here."

"Since you know that it is King Qin's shop, how dare you come to Xiaqiu Village? Is there absolutely someone to support it, and it's fine? ”

Everyone was facing the clearing, and suddenly a voice came from behind them.

Everyone turned around and saw a young man about the same age as Han Han standing there, with a group of people carrying knives behind him, dressed almost like the Prince's Mansion.

"Qin, hmm! Hey, hey, hey! Zhu Wentian reminded loudly.

"His Royal Highness King Qin? Zhu Yichang, a grass citizen, visited His Royal Highness the King of Qin. The lieutenant understood instantly and took the lead in kneeling.

"The grass people meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin." The others knelt with him, including Han Han.

Zhu Zhang, who was full of grievances and anger, fell to his knees and suddenly didn't know what to do.

He knew what kind of village Xiaqiu Village was, and he knew even more that there were high-ranking people in the village.

Including the fact that he now gets more money every month, it is also because of the method given by Xiaqiu Village that makes money in the palace.

There are also good meals to eat, all of which were learned from Xiaqiu Village by Guanglu Temple, with soap and mirrors, and frogs that can be wound......

He didn't dare to kill anyone, and the house was not bought by the other party, but his brother bought it and gave it to Xiaqiu Village, including the more expensive pawnshop.

Both sides didn't move for a while, kneeling up at Zhu Fan and waiting.

"Get up, get up! Alas! Zhu Fan raised his hand.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin." The lieutenant got up first, and the others stood up after speaking, and no one patted the dirt on his trouser legs.

"Hmm...... My brother gave you the shop, what are you doing with it? ”

Zhu Fan looked at the chief and felt that the original Four Treasures Shop had been good, but now all the things were placed elsewhere.

Li Chang's eyes lit up, great, I was thinking about how to find King Qin before, but now the other party took the initiative to jump out, saving a lot of things.

"Xiaqiu Village wants to borrow the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Qin to benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter cannot be done by His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

The lieutenant chief said the words of Hanhanjiao, and the previous preparations were for this.

Zhu Fan: "......"

He was at a loss, what did it have to do with himself? Aren't you on good terms with your brother? Find my brother!

"Your Highness, do you know what will happen if it rains even when the wheat is harvested?" The lieutenant asked.

"What else? Since the wheat sprouts, if you don't find a place to dry, it will become moldy, and the sprouted wheat is very bad. ”

Zhu Fan is still familiar with this, there is a vegetable garden opened by his father in the palace, and if he wants to plant it, he has to be familiar with many crops.

"Your Highness, do you know that wheat sprouting can be used to make maltose? In addition, a new wine is brewed in Xiaqiu Village, and the ingredients used are barley and wheat.

The food consumed by such drinks is small, and it is not easy to get drunk after drinking. Oh! Drink more and get drunk, the village happened to bring it, it is better to have dinner His Royal Highness King Qin to taste it opposite. ”

The lieutenant sent out an invitation, Hanhan made beer, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait so long to come to Nanjing.

"This ......" Zhu Fan hesitated, he was not afraid that Xiaqiu Village would poison him, he was worried that his father and brother would know that they had come over.

"Your Highness, there is a very important thing to make this beer, and this thing is available in the fields, if you make a large amount of beer, the people can harvest it and sell it to us, they get money, and we get things."

The lieutenant continued, it is very important, in fact, it is the same for anyone, but Han Han said that he wanted to pull King Qin.

"Wine, want, money, go, hey, hey, hey, hey!" At the critical moment, Han Han made a move and directly stepped forward to grab Zhu Zhang's arm.

'Boom~' A knife sounded.

"It's okay, this is Hanhan, the village keeper of Xiaqiu Village." Zhu Fan waved his other hand.

The guards are just making an appearance, who in the palace doesn't know about this situation? His Majesty praised it, and he followed him.

So Zhu Fan was taken by Han Han's arm to the opposite shop, the children brought snacks, dried fruits and tea, and the person in charge of cooking prepared dinner.

'Boom~~Click~~Boom...... It was still a sunny day before, and almost in the blink of an eye, black clouds piled up, followed by lightning and thunder.

The bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, splashing on the ground, and when the wind blew, a mist swept by.

When it got dark, people ran around on the streets, and some shops closed their doors and windows immediately when they saw the rain sweeping in.

The windows of the Danqing store are closed, but the doors are open, so you can see the rain outside, and at the same time, it does not look stuffy.

For dinner, everyone eats hot pot, shabu mutton, this day to eat shabu mutton, dehumidification and dampness.

The people of Xiaqiu Village were divided into four tables, Zhu Zhang's guards had two tables, and he himself had one table.

When he saw this situation, he couldn't help it, how lively are you guys, I'm just alone?

"Zhu Lichang, let's go to your table." Zhu Fan made a request, got up and went over with his plate and chopsticks.

"I am wronged Your Highness, Your Highness, this is beer, a pound of wheat can make a lot of beer, more than white wine and rice wine.

Regardless of barley, wheat, barley, germination and mold, can be used to brew beer.

There is also humulus, which can be added to beer with its spikes to enhance the taste, in fact, there are hops that are better, but we don't have them at the moment.

Humulus and fruit ears are medicinal materials, and the lala seedlings on the roadside have half a month for their fruit ears to mature one after another, which can be picked by the people.

Humulus itself is also green fodder, which can be fed to horses, cattle and sheep, including rabbits, without being deliberately planted. ”

The chief said as he picked up the bowl and took a big sip of beer, and the other villagers, except for the children who were too young, followed suit.

Zhu Fan smelled it first, he didn't smell the taste, and then took a small sip, and he clicked his mouth, and the texture and taste were felt for the first time.

He took a big sip, and then uh~~ burped, and the gas from the beer rushed to the back of his mouth and nose, which felt very refreshing.

"Your Highness, when the beer is transported from the village, it is sealed and preserved, and the gas will run away after opening, it will not taste good, and it will spoil if you put it more.

If there is germinated and unmolded wheat in the Ming Dynasty, it can be bought at a normal wheat price, so that the people who farm can reduce their losses.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy every day, and he wants to come to His Royal Highness the King of Qin who is willing to take on this important responsibility.

Nanjing now has nearly 500,000 mouthfuls of people, and once beer is made, it will inevitably be in short supply.

The profits obtained will be increased by two to five, and after the eight thousand guan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are repaid, Xiaqiu Village will make a profit, and the rest of His Royal Highness will be divided with the palace. ”

The governor continued to introduce, and by the way, he told him about the future sales prospects.

Isn't this money owed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Get something to pay off the debt, and don't continue to sell soap and rock candy, it seems that Xiaqiu Village has no ability.
